Zoey's POV
I should probably start by saying that running was never my best talent, although with some not so encouraging training from Analeigh, I have brought up my endurance level. I began to pant as I followed the humming sapphire thread led me to what I hope was the thrown room. I had become familiar with the glowing sapphire ever since the day we helped the moon goddess. It was a sign of our gifts, although the world didn't know that. See for me it was a sapphire that only I could see, since mine was of another realm one could call it. For Ana an Amelia, it wasn't as easy to hide. Ana's sword shines with a bright sapphire pattern when activated, which she does so by speaking Russian. Amelia has sapphire eyes that are forever fluorescing, and her hands seem to take on a faint glow when she activates her powers. But now wasn't the time to think about that when my one task was to find the throne room. I rounded the corner and was greeted by large ornate doors that seemed to be oddly unguarded. With one final surge of speed I bolt through the doors and am met with the sight of the four princes throwing popcorn at one another's mouths in hopes to catch it.
"You are aware that my sister and I have infiltrated your castle, right?" I panted, slightly bent over but keeping my eyes on the princes before me.
"Uh no, who the fuck are you, and where the fuck is this sister of yours." Prince Louis demanded.
Something in the room seemed to draw me nearer, the sapphire thread still thrumming happily as it tried to lead me on, but I ignored it out of fear.
"I'm Zoey Ma..." I started but was quickly cut off by one of the other princes.
"Better yet how did you get into the most secure castle in the whole realm?" He said crossly, obviously mad over the lack of security within the castle.
"Well you see..." I went to answer but I was cut off yet again.
"Why haven't you told us where that sister of yours is?" Prince Louis cut in again.
"Lads she may actually answer your questions if ye give her a chance." A sweet voice lilted, making my head snap to the side it came from.
The thread was the brightest I had ever seen, leading straight to the blonde prince. It didn't take a genius to know that this is my mate, who I recognized as Prince Niall. I felt my cheeks burn red as he looked straight into my eyes. I wanted nothing more than to run into his arms, but I currently have a sister to save.
"Thank you, Prince Niall...my name is Zoey Mayweather. As for my sister she is running around the castle somewhere, knocking out your guards. Our father taught her better than to kill when it is not necessary. Getting into the castle isn't exactly something I could easily explain other than the moon goddess wanted us in here..." I gushed, trying to hurry out the info so that I could move on to the important stuff.
"It's just Niall to you my mate, although your answer of your arrival is questionable...it seems we have no way to deem it otherwise. What brings you here love?" He smiles at me, the word mate seemed to relax all the princes but Prince Liam.
Before I could answer him, Ana arrives with her sword still its blazing sapphire. She heads towards me, her warrior form probably thinking that there was a threat against me. Niall obviously not registering it was my sister, quickly throws a silver dagger at her. I couldn't help the gasp leaving my lips at worrying for my sister. It was accompanied by a deep yell, but Ana uses her swords to shatter the dagger as her armor protects her from the fractures of silver.
"Kak ty smeyesh' pytat'sya navredit' moyey sestre?!" She shouts, swinging her sword and in a swirling sapphire storm.
"Net, Ana! Stop!! He's my mate! On zashchishchayet! He's protecting me not hurting me!" I butchered, only knowing enough Russian to crudely communicate with her in this form.
