"What?!" Bridgette shouted from her horse. We were saddling up to leave when I broke the news to her.

"Me and Titania are going back to Astia." I said.

"I know what you said! I just don't understand why you said it! Why do you have to go back? We've waited a year for this and you're just going to give up because you got a girl pregnant?!" Ouch, Bridgette knows how to rub salt in the wound, that's for sure.

"I cant risk her getting hurt Bridgette." I said, my patience was wearing thin now – another thing that Bridgette seems to be good at is making me angry.

"Liar! You just don't want to see Luna!" I saw her eyes widen in shock as the words left her mouth. Her hand clamped over her mouth, "Shane, I'm so sorry!" I didn't look at her.

"It's fine," it wasn't fine, I hated talking about my little sister, "but I'm going back anyway. I don't care what you say."

Bridgette must have known there was no chance of her winning the argument, "Fine."

"You can keep going if you want. I hear that Jake is staying here for a while, so it'll just be you and Melanie. You ok with that?"

"No." She muttered under her breath, "But I'll do it anyway."

"I'm sorry Bridgette."

"Shut up." She said, "I don't want to hear it." but I knew she was joking from her tone. She was just pouting.

I softened, "And you're right. I'm not going only because of Titania. Two men attacked me a few days ago," Bridgette looked up, "I fount them off. But they said that they were hired by the Black Magi to bring me back. They're getting desperate Bridgette. I cant give them what they want – you know what will happen if I do."

Bridgette nodded silently before speaking, "I'm not going then. If they're getting desperate, then they're going to be targeting those close to you – otherwise known as me." She said with a sassy hair flip – oh Bridgette, so cocky yet so modest.

"Fine." I said reluctantly hopping onto my horse. Melanie and Titania had already left and were just a few minutes ahead of us – we would catch up to them when we were ready, all we had to do was just go fast for a minute.

Shane

We were greeted at the gates rudely. Some of the guards' faces turned to anger when they saw us and they blocked our way inside the gates.

Bridgette crossed her arms, "What the hell?"

One of the guards took the reins of her horse off her. Bridgette fumed and shoved him away, but he didn't budge. All he did was flick his finger, summoning ten other guards. Two of them grabbed Bridgette and two others grabbed Titania and Melanie. The others surrounded me and I put my hands up in surrender, not sure what I had done.

One of the guards poke, "Shane Blakrim, you are under arrest for treason against the king."

I shot Bridgette a confused look, but didn't move. I didn't want to anger them, because if I did, it would give them reason to hurt me and the others. I nodded and they slapped handcuffs around my wrists. Immediately felt my magic decrease – they used magic on these handcuffs. And they shoved me away into the palace, the others trailing reluctantly behind.

I was shoved all the way to a throne room. I turned around to see Titania running towards me against the guards. I took her hand – it was shaking. I looked at the king. He sat up on his throne, looking at me with hatred. Alex was standing next to him with anger and sadness but also defeat on his face as he looked at me. I tensed as we stopped and Bridgette was still struggling against the two guards who were trying to contain her.
