"Ready?" Daniel asks poking his head inside the bathroom

"You know you could at least pretend to be a decent person and enter with eyes closed" Victoria teases as she finishes putting in her last hair pin

"I never said I was a decent person though" Daniel jokes and kisses her neck "next time I'll close my eyes"

"Really?" Victoria asks "you're going to pass up a chance to see all this?" she asks as she moves her hands down her body

"You're impossible" Daniel laughs and they grab their coats

"I know, but you love me" Victoria smiles

"That I do" Daniel smiles and kisses her

"My Queen the carriage is here" Jeremy says standing in the door way

"Mood kill" Daniel mumbles but they exit and head to the carriage with Jeremy close behind. The carriage takes them to the docks where a huge white ship waits, lights line the masts and sails. Daniel helps Victoria down from the carriage and they climb the ramp onto the ships deck. As soon as they step onto the deck, there's a sudden silence from the people who have already arrived. Victoria holds her head high.

"Queen Victoria Facilier of Vernelle and Prince Daniel!" one of the servants announces and blows his trumpet. There are some polite applauses but most just stare at them. They walk down the stairs and Lonnie approaches them, a big smile on her face

"Daniel!" she exclaims and hugs him tightly "it's been too long"

"It has" Daniel smiles and kisses her cheek "I see we've put a damper on the fun"

"Oh don't worry about them" Lonnie smiles and rolls her eyes "they'll get over it. Punch?"

"Yes please" Daniel smiles

"I'm going to look for Evie" Victoria smiles and excuses herself. The people have started to talk again but now it's not about the party but about her, some are angry hisses, others gossip whisper, and a few are even crying. Victoria feels terrible for their tears but she doesn't regret her actions, they know that. Victoria goes to the rail and stares down into the ocean. The gentle waves beckon to her, 'jump' they seem to whisper. Victoria is almost tempted to jump over board and float in the salty water for a while but she must keep appearances, and right now she is Queen.

"Having fun?" he whispers in her ear. Victoria's hand goes straight to her dager but he puts his hands on both her wrists "I wouldn't do that if I were you"

"Give me one good reason I shouldn't" Victoria hisses, he smiles and breathes in her scent, laying his nose on her neck "get off me" she growls making him chuckle

"You used to love that" he growls as well and plants a kiss on her neck

"You should have died" Victoria says leaning away from him as much as she can given her...situation

"I don't like to be told what to do" he breathes in her ear "and I don't forget. Ever" he slides one hand along her stomach. Victoria uses this to escape his hold but he manages to turn her around

"Why do you want to leave me?" he whispers, a wicked gleam in his eyes "you used to beg to have me this close" he gets even closer to her. His body pressed so tightly against hers that she can feel each of his breaths

"Leave Harry" Victoria growls "unless you really want to die this time" her eyes flash yellow and Harry chuckles

"Always so dramatic" he smiles and kisses her roughly. Victoria growls and fire appears in her hand. She pushes him away and aims but he's gone. Just like that, Harry has dissappeared.
