Love At First Kingdom

Chapter Eight

" So you must be the human that has everyones panties in a bunch." He takes slow step twoards me,like each step has a secret purpose. My bow snaps from the tree's and hestiates to going back before staying. Maria takes a few step back while mine stay planeted

"What's it to 'ya?" I hiss and draw the arrow back further. His eyebrows raise up and he looks suprised.

"I've never heard a human talk like that before. "He cocks his head ans studies me,like im some new sience experiment come to life .

"Well you've never meet me Aaron butt."I smirk. John looked like he wanted to strangle me.

Kinky.

"What's your name?" He asked,looking not even ticked off in the slightest.

"Why should I tell you?"I scoff and aim it right to me head.i can almost hear John fighting with himself telljnf me to fire or to scream at me to run away and hide.

"Because if you don't im going to get it out of you the hard way. Sound fair enough?"he gets an edge to his voice. I debate this a moment before looking at John. God,if he hurt john because of me Id kill myself.

"Alexander Hamilton."I sigh,i can feel the burn of Maria's glare in my head.

"Hamilton..." He looks suprised. My attention goes back to the trees.

"Whats so intresting about my name?"i huff and cock an eyebrow. What the hell is in there?

"That was the name of my first human. James R. Hamilton." He hums and my blood runs cold . Dad used to say that was grandpa's name. Dad was James R. Hamilton Jr, grandpa was the orginal. But that thousands,if not millions years ago."Whats the matter? Cat got your tounge. "

What didnt my parents tell me?

" I...N-no. No it doesnt. "I glare. " You speak of havinga human like having a pet."

"Well, thats what they were. And still are. You're just a brainless insignificant little nuisance in the back of my brain."He gets right up in my face. His breath smells of peppermint and whiskey.

I growl and before my brain can catch up I punch him with new found strength I didn't know I had. My fist connects with his nose and theres a loud crunch,blood sprays from his nose and he staggers back. Everyones eyes widen and a few jaws drop.its dead silent. Aaron stares at me from the few feet he staggerd back,his fingers go gingerly to his nose and his fingers come back in blood. He rubs it between his fingers like it fascinates him. A corpse would be louder then the silence there is right then. Aaron breaks the silence with a growing chuckle.

" Good job Alexander. You just landed the first blow of a war. And a good one at that. "He grins ear to ear at me as his nose fixs itself. " You've picked a fantastic human John." He grabs my jaw and yanks me twoards him." Hes a special one."

" Let him go." John rumbles. My eyes go back to the trees as they shimmer. My mind goes numb and if anyones speaking I dont hear. Im too flooded with fear as whats in the tree drops to the ground.

He's taller then John by four inches. His dark skin seems to soak in any ray of sun around him and eyes glow with the golden warmth of a fire. His hair that springs in every direction is untamed yet neatly cut like his facial hair. His eyes swipe once over the situation and lands on me. He give a grin that oozes danger.

" Who the hell is that?" I hiss and turn to Maria, shes bone white. The gaurd up on the castle goes into an uproar of screams and Hercules barking orders and everyone shifts uneasily . John's eyes widen and he backs up twaords us with each step the man with the aura of power takes.No one speaks. I raise up my bow higher and aim.

"Alex put your weapon down."Hercules scolds as he drops down next to me.

"Are you nuts?" My voice cracks and eyes widen.

"Bow." Maria instructs as Thomas gets closer. She drops to her knees as does everyone. Soon there's only three people standing. Aaron, mystery man,and me.

"Get up." I hiss to everyone. This is crazy. How can one man strick fear into an entire castle if highly trained men and women? Maria looks up at me fearfully and quickly shakes her head.I growl in frustration.

"Who the hell are you?"I glare daggers with poisn at the man. He smirks.

"Well, my dear human.."

"Im not your dear anything. Go to hell."I snap and teeth grind. He laughs and ignors me.

"My dear human, Im Thomas Jefferson. Ruler of the night and day court. "He looks at me like I should be running away screaming or on my knees begging for mercy. As if. I sigh and roll my eyes and use my most sarcastic voice I can get.

"Ahhh,no please dont strickme down all powerful wizard. Please forgive me for I have sinned and not realises how powerful and handsome you are. Pleasw take my brain for I do not need it anymore. "I keep a bitch face. Now Aaron looks slightly annyoed. He glances at John and snaps his fingers at Thomas.

" Make the human break. " Thomas takes a step forward twoards John but I'm between them before he can take a second step.

"Ill make your arm break."I hiss and hold up my bow. Thomas looks bored. He sighs and rolls his eyes.

"Please move before I make you m-OVE!" He roars as i stab an arrow into his foot. His teeth bare and eyes flare with real fire for a second. He flicks the tips of his finger and I go sailing against the castle wall. I hit the stone with a loud crack and gasp for breath. I scream out as I slam against the ground.

Thomas doesnt even give me a second glance as he closes the space between him and John. John sits there silently as his shoulders sigh and sink,like he's given up.

"John...."I croak,not even a glance at me. Thomas stops infront of him and studies him for a minute,before giving a scoff and grinding the heel of his foot down on John's ankel. His eyes fly open and head tosses back as he screams out in pain.My heart twists and crumbles like a paper bag. I don't even know im sobbing and crying out his name until I feel a tear hit my hand.

"Good job Thomas."Aaron purrs as Thomas backs up away from John who's panting but still kneeling. "Well John," Aaron steps forward and tips John's head back with the tips of his fingers. Im shocked at how broken his eyes look." We'll give you a few weeks to collect yourself and decide if you really want to go to war like your parents did all those years ago. I hope your foot feels better. "

And the two kings are gone with a snap.
