I'll occasionally post a song if there is one that helps inspire me for a chapter or section of the chapter.

It's weird Regina asked me to stop by tonight, but all she said was it was something important and she needed me there. Being the good friend I am I mounted Patr and flew off during tonight's celebration.

I made it to Regina's home and I noticed lights in the stable were on.

"Patr stay." I whispered as I made my way to the stable.

When I entered the stable I saw Regina crying over Daniel and her mother opening her hand letting a yellowish dust fall to the ground.

I took a step closer and Regina's mother summoned a cloud and I froze in the door way as her mother left.

Regina's sobs hit my ear releasing me from my stare and I ran over to her and I realized Daniel was dead.

"You... Came..." She sniffled out as I wrapped her in a hug and pulled her away from Daniel's lifeless body.

"Of course I came."

She buried her head into the crook of my neck and her tears burned my skin because I knew she was in a lot of pain.

"I know babe. It hurts." I whispered before I realized what I called her.

"Don't leave... Please." She didn't notice either I suppose.

"I wouldn't think of leaving." I whispered back. "But we need to get you inside its going to get cold soon. I don't think this dress is going to be warm enough."

After quite a few refusals I managed to get her to go inside. It may have been reckless but I took her through her front door.

"Mother is making marry king Leopold..." She said finally as I guided her to bed. "I don't want to."

"Then run away with me. I can get that house you wanted deep in the woods."

"She'll find you and kill you too." She began to cry again.

"Please. Not even Peter pan could kill me. I have the most dangerous being alive as a pet and a magic sword. I also have good luck and someone worth protecting." I smiled and I got I small giggle from her.

She pulled me into the bed next to her and hugged me.

"So what do you say?"

"I can't. Mother will make sure I marry him." She whispered into my neck.

"Patr where are we going?"

My Manticore wasn't listening and he flew right over where I told him to go.

"Patr I said go home."

After a while he landed at a camp sight.
