Kiara stood there, frozen, as if time had stopped. She just stared at Andrew, no words coming to her mouth.She was speechless.

"The plane will be landing in five minutes, so i suggest you quit standing there and go and sit down and figure what to say when your King greets you." Andrew said before he left leaving a still speechless Kiara in her tracks.

As Ryan guided Kiara back to her seat all she manged to do was gulp in fear. She had heard many stories of the man she was to meet outside the plane, she knew that he would only use her for her power, and she wanted nothing to do with him.

"Ryan?" She asked in a heart breaking plead with tears starting to stain her cheeks.

"Yeah?" he asked quietly. He never enjoyed it when Kiara was upset and it just set him off, but seeing her like this, made him want to scream and rip Thorns throat out.

"Please.." she sniffed, " please don't let me leave this plane." she begged him, but Cecil answered.

"You must, Kiara. If you don't it'll only anger him more and cause you more pain than you already have."

When another silence crashed over the group the Pilot spoke through his microphone.

"We will be landing in 60 seconds, please make sure that everyone is well seated with their seat belts on. Thank you, your Pilot." and his message was done.

Kiara started to cry. She never wanted to meet this man that called himself a King. He was selfish and a coward. He only took what he wanted, and unfortunately he wanted her, her power.

He was only going to use her to get her power, he only wanted it. Kiara knew she was never going to give in to him. Never.

When everybody started to exit the plane, but Ryan stayed behind with Kiara.

"You do know you are gonna have to come out eventually." He pointed out.

"I know, i just don't want it to be now." she sniffed, then added "Stay with me." Kiara pleaded out to Ryan meeting his sorrowful eyes.

"Always." Ryan said while receiving a smile from Kiara.

Kiara missed the old times her and Ryan had as they would talk about nonsense on the beach and laughed at almost anything, but now that her life turned around she realized she didn't want to be an outcast. She needed Ryan, very badly at this moment, but she was ashamed that she had to drag him into this world and change him. It was her fault.

As she sat there staring at Ryan sadly he asked her what was wrong and she told him.

" I never wanted you to be dragged into a life like this." she spoke quietly echoing her thoughts.

"Well it's kinda hard to change that now." Ryan pointed out with a chuckle, trying to change the mood.

With a sign Kiara continued, " Plus I don't want to mate Thorn, I don't want to give someone my power if they don't deserve it and i don't like them." When the room became quiet, Cecil entered with a five lined scratch on his cheek.

"You must leave this plane now, Kiara. King Thorn doesn't like to wait." he said obviously in pain from his mark.

"I know." Kiara said, not questioning his injury.

With help from falling, Ryan and Cecil stood at her side. As they walked down the narrow hallways of the airplane, a familiar voice echoed through Kiara's thoughts.

You really need to find some girl friends, I'm starting get jealous of Cecil and Ryan. Leo spoke amused in Kiara's mind.

Well maybe you should find me some. She shot back with a smirk. She felt as if all her worries had disappeared because she knew Leo was there with her.

When he didn't answer, Kiara got a little bit worried again. Leo? Are you there? She asked.

Always. he replied.

Am I safe?

I'm afraid not. he replied grimly.

How come we can talk like this?

I don't know.

Are you alive? She asked eagerly. It seemed all these questions kept popping out, but this one bugged her the most.

I --- he started, but never finished because Kiara hadn't realized she now stood in front of a young man who almost looked like Leo, just with jet black hair and even darker eyes.

"At last. You are mine." he said greedily making Kiara hate this man even more because he thought of her as an object not a human, but before she could blurt out something rude, Cecil stepped in their conversation.

"Kiara, this is the almighty King Thorn." he spoke. When Cecil's eyes met Kiara's she mouthed a thank you, then turned her attention back at Thorn.

Thorn smiled at her, flashing his fangs and that's when she glanced down at his hands and saw his claws were extended too. She glanced at Cecil quickly, at his claw marks and started to connect the dots.

He scratched him. He would scratch his own people. she thought now even more scared than before.

"Well, girl? Do you not have a voice?" Thorn asked her with humor.

"My name is Kiara. And it seems like i do have a voice." She somewhat growled at him. But once her words left her mouth, Thorn grew angry. As he started to raise his fist to slap her, Ryan reached out and stopped him.

"Who are you?! How DARE you challenge me!" Thorn spat with power in his voice.

"Ryan. And don't you DARE touch her, she is your queen." Ryan said while steping away from Thorn and returned to his spot beside Kiara.

"You're lucky." Thorn mumbled to Kiara who gulped.

When Thorn turned his attention to Cecil, he ordered him to keep a close watch on Ryan and he started to walk away, and that's when Kiara suddenly realized she was nowhere in US, she was in Africa.
