Bloody

Chapter 8

Back at the castle we walked in to find the whole place in uproar, people were running around, some of the crying, some of them looking furious. I grabbed a young vampire by the arm.

“excuse me” I said “But what is going on?”

The girl bowed slightly to me

“The outlaws your majesty” She said “They have returned and they want war, your mother is in the great hall right now talking to her advisors”

“Thank-you” I said before dashing off to the great hall, Caleb on my heels where we found my mother talking to her advisors and a man that I recognised as Logan’s father.

“Mother” I said “What’s going on?”

When I reached her my mother pulled me in for a tight hug, and only let me go to make me sit down beside her.

“There’s going to be war” She said “We must prepare for it”

“But I thought Logan had left to prevent this from happening?” Caleb asked

“He did” Logan’s father said “And failed”

“I did not!”

All of our heads whipped around to see Logan stomping through the great hall doors, a look of fury on his face.

“I got every one I could” He said “But apparently they had an underground colony, which I have located”

“But they are already on their way here” My mother said

Logan approached the large table we were all at, his father clapped him on the shoulder, apparently this was his first visit home. Caleb had tensed at my side, his hand tightening around mine.

Logan had changed in the few months that I had not seen him, his chest and shoulders seemed bigger and his hair was shaggier, I noticed a small bite mark on his neck, fairly fresh. He was wearing clothes just like all the other men only he wore a black protective vest and had a bow slung across his back.

They all began planning war strategies, including Caleb, something I had to interest for. My eyes kept flashing up to Logan, who was looking down at the large map on the table but who kept glancing up at me as well.

“May I be excused?” I asked “I’m not feeling to well”

“Of course dear” My mother said

Caleb released my hand but not before kissing my forehead

“I will be there soon” He murmured, not to loud but loud enough for Logan to here.

I hurried out of the room, hoping that my cheeks were not burning to red from blushing so much.

I hurried off to my room where I quickly changed into a clean dress, this one had long sleeves and was deep blue, it was one of my favourites even though it was more old fashioned then I usually liked. I brushed my hair out and pulled it up high on my head, I would be the only princess you would see wearing an old fashioned princess dress with a pony tail.

Grabbing the matching coat that covered most of my dress, I opened up the door for my bedroom. I was going to go for a walk, maybe run into Logan.

I didn’t have to walk far.

“Amber!”

“Logan!”

With a sigh I pulled him into my room and closed the door, locking it before slamming him up against it and kissing him.

“Whoa there” He laughed, holding me back a little “Missed me”

“If you ever leave again” I growled “I will hunt you down”
