The Other Home

Chapter 1

*Elizabeth

"Wake up, Princess!" Munoco's voice spoke softly within my dreams. My eyes fluttered open, finding Munoco an Icelan wolf who served as my body guard and best friend, by my bedside in wolf form. He sat at attention, the morning sun reflecting off his white fur. "Muno noooo" I whined into my pillow, "Why do I have to wake up this early?" Munoco raised up his hind leg to catch an itch behind his ear, "Your dad wanted you awake, he wants you to accompany him to this peace treaty meeting."

I raised my head back up to look at him. "With who?" I haven't heard of any meeting that were scheduled.

He cocked his head to the side "The king of the underworld"

"Finally." I sighed considering how long we have been at each other's neck; I think it was very wise to make a peace treaty with us. I sat up to stretch. "Are the king's sons going to be there?" I slyly smiled. Munoco shook his furry head before getting up and walking away, he stopped and looked back, "Elizabeth you should really mind more important things. Those boys are nothing but trouble. Please be ready by noon, I'll be back to escort you." He spoke into my mind about the sons of King Geo, King of the Underground Territory. Still, He didn't say no, I thought kick starting my heart to immediately started racing. The king's oldest son Daniel is so handsome and well kept, I gushed to myself, tall and handsome with such kind eyes and a gentle heart unlike other vampires within that territory. He was going to bring about the change this world needed, a new generation where vampires and non vampires can live together in peace and accomplish kingdom come.

A long time after much fighting and disrespect, groups divided themselves and formed different territories. Though division should have been a positive move, it seemed like everything became a monopoly. Territories ether tried to take over other lands or become allies in order to strengthen their armies. The destruction of SpiritLan, a territory where shape shifters and docile families lived, was the direct outcome of the underground and demon territory linking up and revealing their powers as a unit. This meeting could put a peace treaty in place making The Underground our allies rather than enemies. The benefits of this treaty is that I can pursue Prince Daniel with no rejection from our parents. I stepped out my bathroom with a skip and picked up my cellphone. I know my best friend Joseph was still sleeping most likely, but this good news needed to be shared. I walked over to my large closet, I knew I had to dress and act mature being I was six years younger than prince Daniel, this was my opportunity to nab the prince!

["Peace treaty meeting with the underground today!! My royal wedding is becoming more of a possibility!"] I excitedly texted Joseph and pressed send squealing as I threw whatever clothes I could grab onto my bed.

(alittle later)

"Ahh princess your awake early!" Bryan greeted me with a crate of garden tools and potted seedlings. Bryan was a Spell caster from SpiritLan who used his spell casting skills to help maintain our gardens and vineyards within this snowy territory. He also had a trade in taking care of the sick so we gave him a position within the palace. I nodded with a smile, "Yes early enough to get the worm?" He looked out towards the sky, with a tight smile, returning his gaze. "Ida know maybe a little earlier and you'd have time to collect them all"

I nodded, "Good information in case I ever am looking..." I smiled" Doing more gardening in the greenhouse" I asked hinting towards his supplies

He gave a dry chuckle "Yes I am, keeps the mind preoccupied." He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, nodded, and went to leave. "Wait!" I stopped him, "What's up with you today, you seem out of it."
