Chapter 3

Sarah woke up to see Mik's face centimetres from hers. His wolfy scent filling her nose as her senses came to life. The soft pressure of his breath was on her face. In another universe this would be romantic and Sarah would pull Mik close and kiss him. But this was her universe; she punched him in the face, sending him flying into the wall.

She yawned, it was just another morning for Sarah.

Sarah, in an armoured dress, walked into the food hall. Niya was the only one on the table. Literally. She was standing on the table but that was normal for Niya. Sarah was as quick as she could be in there while Niya was hula dancing on the table providing entertainment for the whole room.

Natasha looked herself in the mirror, wearing the same dress she wore years ago. In years to come it would still fit her. She was seventeen but would never look older than her fifteen year old self. But there was no changing it. That curse from that book would haunt her forever so that she could never be taken seriously, a teenage girl. To the vampires she seemed ridiculous being so small against them. If it wasn't bad enough looking fifteen forever, her frame was slight and she was short. To the myths who she helped to lead alongside Sarah, she seemed so pathetic and small but she used her mind to make up for what she lacked.

She glanced at her high heels, well it didn't hurt to have a little help.

Even with the heels she was still small but walked out with a smile painted on her face regardless...

Sarah was waiting for her with Maxina and Devil in the meeting hall. The werecat trying to keep the witch and the hot-head from all out war. Then there was Mik watching from afar, not willing to step in to help Sarah but willing to watch.

"Did we really have to take Maxina!" Devil complained as they were on their way.

"She wanted to go so it was safer for her to come with us," Natasha explained to the angered Devil.

Maxina wasn't too bothered by Devil's remark. She just fussed over the blue clip in Sarah's hair that she had insisted she wore. Sarah let her knowing it would keep her from fighting even though she didn't appreciate the occasional pulling of her hair.

"What about him?" Devil asked pointing to the tree which Mik was watching them from.

Sarah sighed "no one asked him to come but he just..."

"Did," Natasha finished.

"It would be so much easier if we could just meet Hermes in Olympus," Devil growled under her breath.

"He's a busy guy," Sarah shrugged "besides we haven't been to Dwarven Melbourne in about a month."

"This one is here buying shoes every other day," Devil poked Maxina causing her to shriek.

They all jumped over a creek. The only way to get to Dwarven Melbourne was through the many hidden portals and entrances in the Dark Forest. Of course they had to be deep into the forest or else mortals may stumble upon them. Not that they would be allowed in. There were many spells cast on them to allow only myths yet the grand archways carved out of rock would cause some stir for some mortal kid who gets lost. Though.... The mortals getting lost in the forest and finding these entrances wasn't even the slightest problem because of the war. They would be killed even going a kilometre into it. However the vampires didn't cause trouble in the Dwarven cities all over the world. Natasha assumed because they lacked greatly in strength and taking down a city filled with myths would be insane for them right now. Though in the future Natasha would guess that vampires would have to be banned if they were under the leader's rule.
