Chapter 9










Prince POV
















I woke up to gage with his head in his hands. I looked around and sat up. "Careful!" Gage said moving closer. Andy. Where is she! "Where's Andy?" I asked coughing. "She's um....not here." Gage said handing me water. "Go get her please." I asked sipping the cold drink. "I can't really do that. Don't get mad I tried to tell her to stay!" Gage said backing up. I stood up and looked at him. "Where is she?!" I said with gritted teeth. "She went with the scouts." He sighed. I felt my heart stop. I felt the blood drain from my face. "Where are they!" I asked putting on clothes and armor. "Prince you are still injured. Your wounds won't heal properly." Joy said to me. "I don't care." I said and hurried out. "Prince!" Gage called out for me. "Prince-" I cut him off. "Gage you don't understand I can't let her get hurt. If she dies I...I...." I trailed off. I couldn't even think about it. "Prince I was going to say that I'm coming with you." Gage smiled and helped me on my horse. Gage hopped on his and he lead me to Andy.




Andy POV










We went out of the car only to be blocked. "Well look who we have here." A voice voice. Many snake men stood before us. More came from behind. "Ah ari we meet again." A women with scales and snake eyes and tail hissed. "Alice." Ari growled and moved me between him and the boy. Scar, melody and her groups came out with rouges behind them holding knives to their necks. "Ace go Check the perimeter." Alice ordered a rouge. He ran off Into the woods.moments later she looked at me dead in the eye. "Bring me her." She hissed. Ari pulled out his sword and stood infront of me. "You have to go through me first." He growled. She had a smug on her face. "I'll make a deal with you then. You kill my strongest man and ill let you and your friends go free. But if my man defeats you...I get to kill her myself."




"Deal." Ari said shifting his weight. "Ken. Go." Alice ordered. A large man stood with a cloak on covering his face. "Make room." Everyone made a circle. Ari didn't move and I stayed behind him. "Have a last word with your friend before I kill them." Alice says like it's nothing. Ari turned and faced me. "Why?" I asked him. "Cause I rather die than you." He said smiling. "You wanted me dead when the prince-" he cut me off with a hug. "I knew he wouldn't. I'm glad he didn't. If he did I might have never seen any good in me." He said letting me go and kissed my forehead. Still confused by the sudden change of heart I stared into his eyes. I bent my head down into his chest armor. "Don't die. Don't die for me." I said and looked up. "I know you will win bud." I said forcing a smile. He slowly blinked and nodded.




"Ari. I know you will win my dear solider." Melody said. I felt so terrible after all I've done to him he's doing this for me. As he turned to face his opponent. "Fight!" Alice hissed. Swords clashed and cheering began. Ari stepped back and pushed kens sword back into his chest. Ken kicked ari from under his feet and pinned down aris left hand. Ari slashed kens leg causing blood to gush. A yowl echoed. Ari jumped up and they circled one another. They ran at each other. Ari was cut but slashed kens hood. It fell down reveling his face. "Kajit." Ari said staring at the cat human face. Cat body but stands and moves like a human. His yellow eyes flickered with amusement. He bared his teeth and hissed. "I guess the cats out of the bag. More like hood." I said making the silent clearing talk and cheer.




They clashed again but this time more powerful. I saw something jump in the corner of my eye. A tail followed it. As I looked back a sword was inches from my face. I didn't move nor flinch. I stood my ground looking at the holder. Ken showed his white cat teeth and turned to ari. Ari was cut on his arm and cheek. Ken was wounded on his leg and thigh. The cheering became more louder and excited as ari charged at ken cutting his arm. Deeply. Ken fell down and yowled in pain as more blood escaped his new wound. Ari stood back and kicked his sword across the clearing. Ken looked down in defeat. He held his arm and bowed to ari never leaving the ground. "He's surrenders. We have earned our freedom Alice." Ari said firmly to the snake.




"No you haven't. Kill him." She said with no emotion in her voice. Ken looked up with wide eyes. "I will be in your debt if you spare my worthless life." Ken said staring at the ground. "I will not kill anyone who surrenders. I win Alice now play your part in the deal." Ari said staring into Alice's snake eyes. "Then you do not win!" She hissed moving closer. "I said kill my best man." She said. "He is no man. He is a kajit. There's a difference so the deal was never right in the first place." Ari said lowering his sword to ken. "Come." I said to ken. He looked at me with thankful eyes. He crawled over and sat on his legs next to my feet. "Patch him." Melody said to the boy. He nodded and pulled a needle and stitching thread out and patched up ken.




"You can't leave! You haven't won." Alice said. "Nor lost." A voice said. A female kajit walked out. Her beautiful tabby fur black and cream her eyes green and strong from. "The humans won their right Alice. Admit your defeat with the dignity you barely have now." She said with a smirk. Alice hissed and sweet to her men. They left into their cave. "Thank you." Ari said. "No thank you for sparing my brother." She said looking at ken. "I'm Andy cattail. You?" I asked putting my hand out. "Kira Link and my brother ken link." She said looking at her brother with pain and sadness. "We were forced to be in the witches crew. I swear." She said painfully. "She held my father captive. I know she killed him. We still hoped it wasn't true." She said closing her eyes remembering an imagine. A smile slipped onto her face.




"It's kinda good that you almost killed me." Ken said licking his arm fur clean from any blood. He spat when he tasted it. "Gross. How do vampires eat that?" He said like a child. "Shut up." Kira said lowering her self. Her tail sang back and forth. Her cat ears flickered forward hearing something. She took a deep breath. It's so strange looking at a giant cat that stands on its hind legs and talk like a human. "They are going to attack. Their are a few people wandering around that way." She pointed to a large bush. "Their coming!" She hissed. Melody pulled her bow out and got a arrow ready to fire. I took out mine as well. Rouges and snake men ran out with weapons. We were extremely out numbered. "Charge!" Someone yelled. More of our soldered came out of the bushes. One on a horse. Gage ran over to me.




Someone attacked me and gage cut their throat. "Get out of here!" He said thinking I was helpless. I took out three arrows and shot three rouges in the head. Killing them. "Or maybe you should stay." He said and fought someone. Someone pinned me down and fangs were in my face. He growled at me as his venom dripped from his fangs onto the ground. He was thrown off me against a tree. The person who threw him ran over and stabbed him. He turned to me. Prince. Alice leaped onto him. They rolled and I ran over and aimed. Prince pinned her down. I pulled my arrow back aiming. "Not this time." Someone said and grabbed me by my collar on the armor. He threw against a tree. I heard loud cracks. My back ached badly. "Poor little Andy. Prince isn't here to save you now." The rouge hissed and grabbed his dagger. He was tackled down and killed. A snake man tackled me. I slipped my hand to my belt and pulled it out. I stabbed him in the head and threw him off. I looked around for my bow. I reached for it touching cold skin. Prince looked at me with relieved eyes. I looked behind him and saw Alice about t stab him. I leaped forward and pushed him out of the way. Only to be stabbed myself.
