Chapter 19

I couldn't believe she just say that. My own mother told me I shouldn't be here. My eyes went wide and I scanned the room. I could make it to the closet in a couple seconds and out the hatchet in the next couple.

Liam must've seen me looking around because he walked to my side. "Mother, don't you think that's a little rude considering she could've gotten herself killed coming here?"

She glared at Liam and just nodded in defeat. The man came up and wrapped me in my arms. He had bright blue eyes and dark brown hair. I wrapped my arms around him in the welcoming hug. Liam just smiled and nodded at me. He was encouraging me to get to know my parents. I could already tell I probably wouldn't get along with my mother. She just glared at everyone in the room.

After a few minutes my father and I let go of each other. My mother glared at me and nodded and then stormed out and slammed the door behind her. I flinched as the door slammed. She obviously didn't like that I was here.

My father simply said good bye for now and walked out causally, after her. He wanted to spend more time with me, but didn't want to upset her. "Sorry about that. She just doesn't want her place as queen to get ruined." Liam snickered a little but shakes his head.

"It's. . . Fine. I guess her and I won't be getting along very well." He laughed at and just nodded. I never thought him and I would get along. It would ruin his chance on getting the throne.

He told me about the plan that he had, and we sat down and thought it out. "You know, it might work, but I don't know about the fact that we look so much alike."

He snickers a little. "You are one of the most powerful shapeshifters out there, you figure this part out." With that said, he stands up and messes up my hair a little and walks out.

I fix my hair and stand up and go over to the mirror. What could he possibly mean by that? If I were able to change, what would I want to look like. I wrote a note down on a notepad on the desk and went out the passageway.

When I popped up, I could see Tim pacing back an forth among the alleyway. When I come out he picks me up in a hug. "What took you so long? I've been worried sick. They didn't hurt you did they?" He growled as he said the last question.

I put my arm on his arm and just smile a little and he relaxes. I grab his hand in mine and lead him through the village to the cabin Liam said he could stay. I went inside with him and explained everything before slipping back into the tunnel.

When I made it back to the room, Liam was in there sitting on the bed. I jumped back a bit, but remembered this was his room after all. He smirks as I come out. "You need to be more careful. Have you figured out how to change your appearance?"

I shake my head and walk towards him. He rolls his eyes and grabs my shoulders and pulls me over to the mirror. "Think about how you want to look. The only thing you can change, is the colour of your eyes. You can make them darker, or brighter, but can't change the colour."

I nod and look at the reflection in the mirror. I look over my body and see the shorts I'm wearing along with the black sweater. Maybe blonde with blue eyes? Little taller, and maybe keep my freckles. No. Too much of a give away.

I close my eyes and picture what I thought of. When I open my eyes, where I'm standing is a skinner blonde hair chick with electric blue eyes. Brighter then mine before, I look over the body and realize now I'm wearing flip flops instead of sneakers. Hate sandals.

Liam is looking over me like a cat ready to pounce. I snap my fingers and he looks down. "Sorry. Kinda forgot." His face turns red. "Well now that you've got that down, I think your able to come out of this room."

I clap quickly and look at him. "Really? I can meet everyone?" He nods and leads me to the door. He opens the door and steps out around the corner. I slowly begin to follow. When I step out he's no where in sight.

"Halt. Your coming with us."
