Once she had changed into the night gown, Destiny told Lucas to come in. While he was walking in, her damp hair soaked the back of the gown.

" You always forget do you," Lucas said smiling. He grabbed the comb on the bedside table and took a dry towel from a drawer in his bathroom. He then started to pick up her hair and dry it, while doing so he combed it. The process took a while, for her hair was so long that it reached her lower back, almost reaching the torso. As he combed her hair, Destiny began to feel flustered and sad. Her memories of when her mother would comb her hair back then and her warmth, it felt very familiar. Tears started to fill her eyes and then it all came back to her. The war, the country falling apart, their deaths, everything. " A-are you okay?" Lucas asked.

" I'm fine," Destiny sniffled.

" Listen, I know how you feel everything will be alright. Plus, you have me and your brother," Lucas said embracing her in a hug. The tears slowly started to stop and she felt alright. " How about I get you some of the tea that calms stop down?" Lucas suggests.

" That would be good," Destiny said wiping away her tears.

Before going to make the tea, Lucas wrapped his coat around Destiny, to make her feel warm. The night air was cool and the storm was still ongoing. Hopefully that will keep her warm, Lucas thought leaving the room. Once the tea was made he went to back to his room. Instead of finding Destiny he found the window opened and a ransom letter saying:
If you want the girl, you'll have to come and get her. Bring 10,000 gold with you and NO reinforcements, if you do there's nothing you can do to stop us from killing her. Come to Mt. Aliyah when the moon' is at full light. Farewell. Signed Black Scorpion.
If it's Black Scorpion, then there's no telling what they will do with Destiny. I've got to save her! Lucas thought. The good thing was that the storm started to lighten up and it would be 5 more minutes till the moon's at it's highest peak. He immediately ran downstairs. He was armed with a sword and a dagger hidden in his coat. Flying would be more quicker, but if the storm started up again, then I could damage my wings, he thought. Without telling anyone where he was going, he began to fly to the mountains. He made sure that he flew high so nobody would notice him. His wings were every unique. The wings being more like bones than actually feathers, the appearance at least. Once landing near the spot where they were supposed to meet, he hid his wings. While walking to the meeting spot, he heard the leaves rustling, knowing that it was either animals or people, he stayed calm.

" Well, it looks like our little prince has come," a voice said from the tree. A man jumped down from the branch and so did all of the others, including the one that held Destiny tied up. " Do you have the money?".

Lucas slid a bag on the ground, " Now then give me the girl," he said.

" Oh wow, it looks like the little prince wants his girlfriend back," the man said in a mocking voice.

" We're not dating," Lucas said.

" Oh, really?" the man asked. " Then that means that she hasn't done any man do anything playful to her body," he started to grin," maybe I shouldn't give her back, but play with her for a while".

Lucas, now enraged, almost drew his sword. What happened instead was that Destiny untied herself from the rope that was holding her hands together, the problem was that she was still being held by the man, who was probably their leader. With her hands free, she could kill the Black Scorpion group, but she waited for the right moment to strike. While waiting she began to say a spell that would make her sword light up in ablaze. The man the slipped off one of her sleeves. He then reached to untie the ribbon the held most of the front together. Once the ribbon was halfway untied, she was done with the spell and cast it on the dagger hidden under her dress. It was the dagger given to her by her father when she was 5. She was taught to always keep it with her, always hidden. Destiny then grabbed her dagger and stabbed the man in the back.

" Why you little! Ah," the man gasped in anger.

" By thou acquaintance with the demon king, I hereby light the flame!" Destiny shouted. Suddenly the dagger began to glow and a bright stream of blinding light, came with a burst of flame. The man was burnt to a crisp and the dagger was left on the ground. Destiny walked forward to pick up her dagger.

" You can have the money, we promise not to mess with any of the royal family ever again!" the Black Scorpion member yelled running in a flee.

" Let's go back, I'll carry if you want," Lucas said to Destiny. " You know, I was really worried".

" I can fly on my own, but I do feel a bit insecure, so I guess you can," Destiny said. " I surprised that your very worried about me".

" Well, why wouldn't I be? I mean you did get kidnapped, by one of the most wanted bandits. Plus I actually am in love you," Lucas said, he started to blush when he said the last part.

Destiny then started to get flustered at the comment, but she then smiled, " Well I really love you also!" she said happily, embracing Lucas in hug. " Anyways, how will you carry me?"

" Well that's simple," Lucas said while doing this he ended up picking her up in a princess type of hold.

" Whoa!" Destiny said startled.

After getting back to the castle they carefully entered through the main entrance trying their best to go to Lucas' room undiscovered. Once passing all the housewives and getting back to the room safety, they got in bed. Both of them going to different sides. Destiny fell fast asleep.

" Lucas. . .," Destiny mumbled in sleep. " I'm cold. . . can you hug me?".

" Uhh, okay," Lucas said turning in the direction of Destiny putting his right arm around Destiny.

" Hmmm, so warm," she said smiling.

The night then continued on like this, calm and silent. Nothing to disturb their peace.

*A/N*
So I finally updated the story. This took me about 2 hours to write ( including the first one that I wrote today ). So I'm really happy that I actually wrote 2 chapters today. With my iPad having 9% left for the last 2 hours I still happened to complete 2 chapters in 1 day! I'm probably not going to update another time this week, but I will next week. I also have a quick announcement, I'm going to try to update every Thursday, if not then Tuesday's and Thursday's. Enjoy my stories!
