Chapter 6:



I was dropped to the ground in an instant, falling right on my arse. I closed my mouth, swallowing the rest of the scream, I that had developed. Standing, I rubbed my bruised rump, groaning. "Did you have to drop me like that?"

"What are you? Half Banshie?" the prince accused, rubbing his temples.

"I don't know, my auntie would always scream when death was near, but that was just because she was mentally insane." I said, pretending to contemplate that thought.

The rotten prince just glared daggers at me.

"My son, back so soon?" my back immediately went ridged in an instant, the boombing voice echoed through my head, sending unwanted shivers down my back. My jaw tightened and my eyes wandered, searching for a possible weapon. The prince seemed to see this because he shot into action, gripping onto my neck and slamming me against the wall.

I opened my mouth to scream at him but the leach cut me off, "Do not speak while the King is in the room, also I'd advise you not to ever look at him in the eyes." his warm breath blew against my ear.

"Son, I came to see what the racket was, care to explain?" the ancient Vampire grumbled, watching the whole exchange. The prince released my neck to talk to his father.

"My King, I have just come back from the Pound,"

"Ah, so you followed my advice and went to get yourself a pet." I kept my head down, not wanting to loose it, as the king stared at me. "What are you going to name it? Princess? Fox? Red?" the King's deep chuckle filled the room.

My jaw clenched, nothing could have stopped what happened next, "Alpha," I ground out, looking the King square in the eye, "My name is Alpha, sir."

The King looked amused, "Oh, is that so? What a strange name for a girl. Strange name for a human too."

He took one step closer, then another, and another, until he was about a foot away from me. I glared into his eyes, looked old and wise, but at the same time youthful and thriving. The brown orbs searched my face with a mix of amusement, anger and... pain?

"What a peculiar name," the King stated, narrowing his eyes at me.

"I am so sorry, my King. She is new, she doesn't know the rules." the prince seamed to care if i lived or died, probably only because he payed a lot for me. stupid leaches.

The prince's father ignored him, "Do you know who I am, human girl?"

"You are the almighty, mysterious, evil  king of the Blood Feeders," the King glared, warning."Oh, I mean-- Black Bloods, Lord 'Black'" I spit out his nick-name with as much venom as I could, bearing my teeth in a feral manner.

"Who are you human child, one of Shard's pitiful assassins? I thought I already got rid of their trainer."

"Ha," I threw my head back and laughed, "You think I work for that leach? Never."

"Then how do you know me?" the King asked suspiciously.

"My father told me that if I ever meat the 'King of Death', as he called you, that I should . . ." I trailed off, not sure if I should challenge him or stand down.

"Do what, human child?" the King asked, moving closer.

"That if I ever come face-to-face with the monster 'Black' I am to . . ." I danced out from underneath the Vampire, twirling circles in the hallway until I could not think strait.

"Son, I believe you bought a crazy." the King said to his son, who had I had just noticed was still here. I detected amusement in the old Vampire's gruff voice, but it might have been my mind playing tricks on me.

"-- find out his real name by a friendly duel." I finished my sentence once i have found my balance.

The royal family stared at me lie I had grown an extra head. 

"What?" I asked sincerely.

Suddenly, they both burst into laughter.  

"Son, take your pet away before I laugh myself half to death."
