The Beginning

"ANTHONIANA!" "ANTHONIANA!" "MALADY!" "YOUR MAJEST!"

I look down from the top of my tree and see JohnSolan, my second in command/best friend with one our village men calling out my name. I jump from the trees top to a branch a little lower swing from it to another lower branch, and then do a front flip diving straight for the ground landing on my feet as graciously as I can which is pretty good.

"Malady! Malady you will be late you most hurry have you forgotten what is to be held soon?"

The village man says to me with a bow. I think he's the town messenger.

"Of course not dear messenger. I know there is a meeting to be held with Transylvanian Society. On the matter of two younger Carpathian boys being kept captive for supposedly being in their village. And if I am not mistaken one of the boys is your son Have I been mistaken?" I asked.

"No malady, you are correct." He replies

I look over to JohnSolan and then address him. "First we will take our dear messenger back to the temple escort him home. Then you, I will head to the meeting."

"Of course Anthoniana" he says and begins leading the messenger away

I take a final stretch and take a final look at the sky and begin walking toward the temple.

(One hour later)

JohnSolan and I are just entering the Transylvanian gateway. John on his black mustang horse as well as myself. He is wearing a hooded trench coat just stopping at the beginning of his riding boot, dark pants and a simple black tee I can tell he has a switch blade in his left boot, and his pistol on his hip holders. We've been riding so the wind has blown his dark brown hair back from his face so you can see his mute brown eyes to some those eyes are the eyes of a killer but to me those eyes are just focused. John is about 6'3 he's muscular and strong with little fears which makes him so badly wanted by the woman in our temple. Even the women that have found their halves and the other bearing children have had their eyes on John. I'm wearing pure black knee high heeled boots, my black tights and a red corset with black ribbons on the front with my hooded trench coat i have two switch blades on in each boot, two pistols on each hip of course for "SAFETY ONLY" my silver power staff that was shrinken itself to be easily hidden between my breast.

We arrive to the town hall of Transylvanian Society and I see John's uneasement as he looks around. I put my hand on his arm and I see him slowly relax. We walk inside just as I make it inside their Announcer says.

"Now arriving Lady Anthoniana Leon and Second in Command JohnSolan Littles from the Carpathian Mountains"

John and I walk inside the study room and see the round table with nine of their towns supreme leaders looking at us and at the left side  of the table near the windows, what I see is the two younger boys shaking with fear. I walk over to them and kneel in front of them getting them to look up at my face instead of the ground with a hand on their chin i lift their head giving them a smile in assurance for them being safe now.

"So explain to me why you have two of my temple member in chains" I say over my shoulder to the table knowing where the answer will be coming from the young boy from 20 years ago who is now the society leader, Carter Van Hailsen.

"Yes, two of my gate watchers reported that they caught those two BEAST!..." He says spitting out 'beast' as if it were a curse word. And sending a hateful glare to them which I can tell is fake. "....on our territory" he finishes.

"Well I will make sure it doesn't happen again after all my parents did sign a treaty saying we will not attack your people if you give us the same respect. John grab the boys I think we should leave now." I say.

"Of course Anthoniana. Boys come let us return to your parents shall we."John says as he snaps the chains the two boys nod,  get up and standing with him

The boys could be no more then 15 or 16. The normal explorable age in our temple. Yet never have temple members been known to be caught like this.

"You can not just take those two with out their being some punishment. Tell her Carter" a man next to Carter says.

"They should be punished for leaving the temple grounds without my approval yes,  but after their parents know they are okay." I reply looking at the odd man with his veins popping on the side of his neck and the middle of his forhead.

"That is unacceptable" he says standing up slamming his palms on the table. I see John put his hand on his pistol ready to fire if needed. I raise my hand to John to relax.

"You shouldn't be so worried about what punishment I see fit to give  in my temple. But what you should be more worried about is that young man to your right sir.  That I presume is thinkings he is ready to pull that gun to your very head." And with that I look to the boy and see his body freeze up in pure shock.

"What?... Joshua why?..." He says

"Shut up Andrew!" The boy Joshua supposedly says as he snaps out of his shock.

"What is the meaning of this Joshua?" Carter says standing up looking at him.

"I don't think he should be judge anymore he sent my father straight to death for no reason!" Joshua yells.

And with that I turn my back to the society table and stand in front of the two boys as I look at their wrist I see they are bleeding it seems the inside of the chains were laced with pure minx silver. I sigh.

"Will you let me heal your wrist?" I ask the two boys, they nod. And with that I use my tongue to lick over the burn marks to remove the bleeding. You see my mother's side of the family have this thing it seems in our blood that can allow us to heal minx marks. I look at the boys faces and see gratitude I reach and hug them tight to me whispering into their ears not to give me a scare like that again. I've always been close to the people in my temple I've been to every birthday, every funeral, every baby shower and even the birthing grounds for the births. I've spent time with all the children and the elderly making sure no one feels they are not cared for. I let go of the boys and we begin walking to the door when I hear a click of a gun.

"Where do you think your going you ratchet monster!" I hear I turn around and see Joshua pointing a gun at me. I hear a snarl come from John as he begins to shake I also notice the two younger boys growl at him and being to shake as they would before changing. I hold my hands to the top of the two young boys to calm them down and they do. I look to John and see his brown eyes change to black with a golden ring on the outside as he awaits for my words.

"Joshua under Carpathian law you have been proven guilty for making a pass at killing the last known heir to the Carpathian Legacy as second in command I am under oath to kill you now." John says with a slight grin showing his elongated teeth looking at me for approval. Before I could fully finish my nod John has already changed into his wolf and has knocked the gun from his hold sending it flying to me which I catch and disarm. Josh has fallen on his back in fear as a large 7 foot 4 black, and brown wolf is snarling at him. All the other members of the society have moved aways from Joshua and John as he backs him into a corner away from others.

"I, Anthoniana Leon the heir to the Carpathian temple have sentenced you to death for trying to take a life. In my father and my mother's name I send you to your death." And with that John attack him. I turn my back to them and look to Carter, he isn't even looking at the boy being attack but at me it seems he hasn't looked away from the beginning. I snap my fingers and John backs away from the dead body now and begins walking towards me as he shifts back i remove my trench coat handing it to him which he puts on and he escorts the boys to our horse with me following and we ride home in silence.
