The Mythicals

Annaliese's POV:

     After we got my arm cleaned and stitched which I was not happy 'bout that Xander took me to my room. I was still pretty shaken up from having a gun to my head.

     "Annaliese we're at your room."

     "Hm? Oh sorry I was just thinking."

     "Of?"

     "I'm just scared Xander." I walked into the bathroom to put on some pajama shorts and a tank top then brushed my teeth and hair. When I walked back out into my room Xander enveloped me in a hug.

     "I'm really sorry baby."

     "Xander you have no reason to be sorry."

     "But I wasn't able to stop them from hurting you."

     "It's just a small cut."

     "I love you Annaliese."

     "I love you too Xander."

     "Alright time for bed baby. If you need me I'll be right down the hall."

     "No! Please stay with me? I don't want to be alone tonight. I'm still scared."

     "Alright come on."

     We got in bed and he curled up against my back. "Thank you."

     "You're welcome beautiful."

     Over the next few months my father had a guard with me every second of the day plus Xander. I was actually getting annoyed not with Xander but with the others. Nothing has happened since the ball but father was scared something would. He even had a guard with Baylee. I admit I am still scared they're going to try something again and I was terrified that Baylee would be involved.

     I was sitting with Baylee in her room 'cause she had talked me into getting a manicure with her.

     "Annaliese when is daddy going to call off the guards?"

     "Whenever he feels that we are safe."

     "Well they are annoying me. Except Alex 'cause he's my best friend."

     "Ah here are my favorite sisters!"

     "CODY!" Baylee got up and ran to him giving him a big hug.

     He had been gone for a few days with the troops around the border of Alaisha.

     "Hey there munchkin. How ya been?"

     "Good. Me and Annaliese are getting manicures. Would you like one?"

     "That is a definite no. I am not a girl."

     "Fine then leave." She crossed her arms and looked all tough so I laughed. I couldn't help it but she was just to cute.

     "Well I see how it is. You don't get this lavender stuffed animal I got you then."

     Her face lit up instantly, "OK you can stay!"

     "Thought so."

     We stayed there for a few hours just talking about random stuff.

     "Who wants a movie night??" Xander asked as he walked in.

     "Can we watch Barbie movies?!"
