The Dark Prince

Chapter 37: change of heart

Andy POV

I held on for dear life. I felt by back scrape on the ground. Daryl was struggling to breath then the roof caved in. The tail threw us to a large crystal slamming our bodies to the massive it brought. "Andy!" Daryl said scrabbling to get up. I had dust in my lungs and couldn't help but cough. I felt arms wrap around me holding me. Daryl just held me, scar was searching for his sword and I... I couldn't think right. The beast roared at us it's teeth bared at Daryl. It was inches away. Daryl held me tighter. "I'm sorry Andy." He said. It growled again but this time it sounded like it said something in English. Daryl stared into its gold eyes and slowly let me go. He stood up and looked into the eyes of a golden sea. His ear shifted into wolves. It growled in his face so loudly and powerful it made his body swing back a little. "She's safe." Daryl said to the beast. It growled softer at him. "He was protecting it." It basically screamed in his face. "How dare he? How dare you! You killed a boy today! A child! A pup! A baby! For what! For him!" He pointed at scar with his hand. "For yourself?" He demanded an answer but the beast looked blank.

The beast answered butt his time with guilt in its growl. It's talking to him? It can speak English or what? Does it understand our situation? So many questions flooded my head at that moment. Daryl had said something I didn't catch but it made the beast bare it's teeth at scar not him. Daryl ran in front of scar blocking the beast from him. I can't process this. A hunter is speaking to Daryl. Can only alphas understand them? I wasn't listening but the beats looked back me and moved its head close to my face. I just stared at it. My mind said run but my body didn't move only because I didn't want to. It sniffed me and it's gaze softened slightly. Daryl was now full werewolf and stood I font of me on his four legs. He was taller than me even in this form. He growled then the beast would growl. Everything's as calm for a few moments. Scar had moved and I guess the beast didn't like it but Daryl jumped onto its muzzle and stared into the eyes. He slowly shifted back and was fully dressed as before. The beast looked own at me as Daryl jumped off. I just asked the most stupidest question.

"What's his name?" I asked Daryl. "Why would it matter?" It said a bit tense. "Ask." I said standing up facing the beast. It took a deep breath pulling me closer to his nose. It growled gently. "He can smell your baby." Daryl said. "Ask him what his name is." I told Daryl nicely again. "I can speak human you know. It's not a hard language." The beast said staring at me. I looked into his eyes. His emotion was longing for something, pain, and fear. "Kingdra." He said breaking me out of my thought bubble. "Kingdra." Daryl repeated. He nodded and heard scar walking. "Can we put the past behind us. You lost so much and so have I. Nothing good will come out of our fight anymore my dear king. I'm asking for peace. Not a surrender." Scar said with begging eyes. Kingdra rose his head high above us. "Return my daughter and I will agree." He said his voice crackingly a little. Scar nodded and went back for the egg. "How long?" Kingdra said. "Huh?" Me and Daryl said. "How long have you've been with child?" He asked. "I don't know." I said honestly. He nodded and continued to watch scar closely.

"Are you the alpha?" He asked Daryl. "Now I am." He said a bit sad. "You don't smell like one. That other wolf I talked to earlier did. No offense." He said trying not to be harsh. Dear god look at us talking to a hunter. But not just any hunter the king for crying out loud! "Felix didn't want to be one. So I was Jett's second choice." Wait so Felix could have been alpha but he didn't want to? Why wouldn't you want to? "Why not?" He asked folding his larger feet over one another like a cat would. "He wanted to... Find his mate and life first. Speaking of this I should let him be aloha. I don't deserve it." Daryl said. I punched his arm. "Hey what was that for!" He said acting hurt. "For saying that! You do deserve it!" I said to him. "I'm not meant to be alpha yet. If I was meant to I would have the mark now wouldn't i." He said then he realized I had no idea what he meant. "Ugh! The mark that symbols your an alpha. It's black and can be any shape. Like a tattoo. Basically." He explained. I nodded and looked at the cave in wall. My life went from 'ba da ba ba I'm lovin it!' To great I have to deal with crap today in less than a second.

Ugh what's going on with me. I love Ryder more than the world can imagine. And Felix I just can't mess this up. I focused on kingdra and how his eyes flickered between me and Daryl. I beards someone's feet thumping against the ground. "Found her/him." He said slash for the dash. Kingdra stared at the white egg in his hands for a good second. He moved his long tail and took it from scar gently. "Now that's your baby returned will leave you in peace, but we need our friends." Daryl said gently as kingdra held his baby close. He puffed out golden fire on the egg lighting it. What the hell? As it burned a white body was reveled. It cried out and spread tiny white wings. "Aurora." Kingdra whispered. The little hunter looked down at us. It eyes were the colors of a rainbow. He set the little one down and it struggled to stand up. It finally found it's barring and walked to Daryl. It was twice the size of the egg and came up to my waist. It sniffed him and ran to scar and sniffed him. She sniffed me and nuzzled my stomach. She started climbing me and wrapped herself around my neck.

"Let's get your friends." Kingdra said and clawed at a huge rock sending it back. We helped on the other side hoping a rock wouldn't crush us. "So what are you going to do about Felix?" Daryl asked in a whisper. "I love Prince but now that Felix said that to me it's jacking up my mind." I told him in a whisper. "Well it's your choice but I think you should stay with prince." He said. "I though you were going to stay Felix" I said surprised by him. "Yeah the way you look at prince doesn't even compare to Felix. Plus Felix will find someone else. Prince would be dead on the inside if you left him not saying you would. But you know it's true." He said honestly as I dropped a rock. "I think your right. I already made up my mind eailer. But will Felix be ok?" I looked at him but he didn't look me in the eye. "He'll live..." That didn't answer my question but I didn't want to bug him anymore. I hope what he says is true about Felix being able to move on. I felt so terrible about all of this. I still will after it's all sorted out of course. Maybe seeing prince will help my through this. But I can get the feeling out of my throat that someone is going to hate me forever.

"Daryl!" Felix yelled as kingdra moved the last rock out of the way opening up the cave in. The brothers smiled and punched each other. Aurora stood ever so close to me. Her head rested on my waist sideways. Felix glared at her and looked at me for a moment. Pain dulled my gaze I could feel it. Felix took a step toward me but kingdra put his tail in between us. He looked down at me and smiled sorta. The others got ready to leave but I didn't move. "May I have a word with you." Kingdra said to me as the others stared at us. I nodded and walked in front of him. The others waited outside now. "I can feel the tension between you and the one called Felix." He said in a whisper. "Don't let a boy bring you down. Your stronger than you think." He said trying to soothe me. "It's not that. It's just I don't know if I like him and it a problem. But I think I figured it out." I said to him. He nodded and looked at aurora. "She likes you." He said with a smile. "Then take care Andy. When she grows up she will try to find you I know it. So be careful." He said and gently touched his muzzle on my forehead. Aurora ran to her father as I left. I looked back and smiled. "Your stronger than you think."

Sorry it short. I'm starting a new book but I don't know what to call it, any advice it's about a girl who's brother is in a gang I know it's not much but I'm still trying to mold it. I'm still working on it but I hope it's good. Thank you for reading I checked the reads on this book and it's in the 3,000!
