Fairy Blood

Chapter 4 - The deal

Rowans P.O.V

"What do you think you're doing here?!" I hissed at Prince Fehl.

"I came to find you," He said simply.

"Why would you want to do that!?" I ask, angry now because I had been so scared it had been the fae guards to take me away.

"Because you've manages to escape. NOBODY escapes! And I can see something special in you,...pride maybe? No, it's determination."

"So what were you planning on doing once you found me?" I ask.

"Well, for starters I'm a mind reader. When our hands brushed in the wardrobe I entered your mind. I saw that you were going to the Royal Palace disguised as a fae," he shrugged as if it was no big deal," and did you ever think that maybe a fae would give you a better chance of getting in there? Especially a fae PRINCE."

I shake my head, then what he said sunk in," Y-you're going to help us?" I ask disbelievingly.

"I never said that."

I ground my teeth in frustration

"But..." He carried on," I only will help you get there if you let me come along. I want to be a normal fae. Someone who doesn't have to dress up nicely everyday and not ever get to have the least bit of fun."

I snort," Yeah right. You think I'm gonna let you come with us and blow our cover? Me and Will, we're fighters. We can find our own way."

Prince Fehl smiled," If you don't let me come with you then I'll just have to tell my father and the royal court you're right here and they will torture you."

Prince Fehl opened his mouth and prepared to use the fairy bond that linked all fairies together.

"Alright!" I hissed," You can come with us. But you have to get us in or the deals off and we'll blow YOUR cover."

"I don't think you're in the right place to be making threats." He smiles innocently.

I glared at him but he kept on smiling. Ugh!

"Oh and I have black contacts and ear putty in my bag," He said breezily," So you can look more like a fae."

"We don't need that!" I said angrily," I think we KNOW what we're doing!"

"Well, you can't pretend to be a 15 year old fairy forever. I mean, SOMEBODY is going to notice. A wispy, white haired, arthritic old woman claiming to be a 15 year old girl. Not gonna work."

I knew he was right which made me even more frustrated. God, I needed to sleep on this.

"Well I'm going to bed," I stated," You can sleep wherever, and remember if there's an inkling of you betraying us and the deals off!"

"Sure thing," was his cheery reply.

"WHAT THE HECK!"

I woke to the sound of shouting. Or more specifically, Will's.

I opened my eyes and looked blearily around. I caught sight of Will and Prince Fehl having a shouting match. I rolled my eyes.

I stormed over to them and pushed on both their chests, trying to get them to break away from each other. And let me tell you, trying to shift two 16 year old guys is pretty difficult.

"Stop fighting!" I yelled, but it had no effect.

"What do you think you're doing here fairy!?" Will shouted at Prince Fehl.

"None of your business!" Prince Fehl shouted right back.

"It is my business because, news flash, I'm right next to you!"

I was getting really frustrated and annoyed with their arguing, "OI! SHUT IT!" I finally screamed.

They both fell silent instantly and looked at me with shock. I knew I must have been a sight. Sleep deprived and a messy tangle of long, curly, fiery red hair. My eyes narrowed into slits as my temper boiled over and I growled in frustration.

"DO YOU WANT THE FAE TO FIND US?!" I yelled," THEN STOP ARGUING OR I'M OUT!" I quitened my voice to a normal volume and carried on my rant," Now, thanks to you guys we probably have guards hot on our trail! Pack up quickly and get moving!"

Will quickly complied, knowing I rarely get into these moods but when I do, oh boy! I feel sorry for the people within 50 meter radius. But Fehl being the stubborn prince he was just stood there, over his initial shock of me losing my temper.

"Why are you just standing there?" I hissed at Prince Fehl, "Get moving!"

"I don't have to do anything you say."

"Fine!" I practically screamed," You stay here doing what you want and we'll go to the palace on our own!"

I grabbed Will by the arm and dragged him along. We had been walking for about an hour when Will was lugging our supplies and was falling behind so decided to help him.

"Stupid Prince and his stupid stubbornness!" I grumbled to myself, "honestly! Who does he think he is!?"

My complaints were cut short as a loud snap came from a bush nearby. All at once about 20 guards charged at us all at once. They had us captured. I glanced at Will and when I saw his confident expression I almost laughed. Like I said before, me and Will, we're fighters. Taking down these guards, fae or not is gonna be easy as;
