The normal life

Special reunion

I wake with a splitting headache and a ringing in my ears I hear growling and rattling and I open my eyes to see Danny pacing in front of me he looks beaten and broken but I know Danny will never ever be broken he is too strong he is testing them. He sits beside me when he realises I'm awake and helps me sit up and against him he is warm but the room is cold damp and dark the floors and walls are concrete and the ceiling is covered in stalactites and water. I have never seen a place like this and I cannot feel the magic or anything around and I frown "Danny where are we?" I ask as I finally get my bearings "I don't know"his reply is short and unsure.

After a long time of sitting there feeling warm in Danny's embrace I look up feeling magic washing towards us "Danny... someone is coming" he nods "I can hear them" he holds me closer refusing to be separated from me and the creatures that took us are now I front of us "well the princess has seen better days the king will be pleased and as for the wolf... he has been protecting her ... take him with her the king will decide his fate".

Danny and I both move to fight but with us both being drugged the effects are making us ten times weaker than our original states. Three guard fully kitted out in armour and guns no doubt silver bullets for Danny and it would hurt me too but wouldn't kill me.

They drag us out of the cold damp dark cell and into an overly bright hallway after going up a long flight of stairs I think I counted 183 steps all together. The walls are littered with pictures of battles and wars grotesquely picturing old days and focusing on the gore that is projected into the wars.

After our long journey through twisting turning corridors a see of endless mazes and traps, we are brought to very large room with 2 chairs I wouldn't call them thrones but they are on top of a three step platform. On one of these chairs is a man old, haggard and covered with white beard and hair at least shoulder length and thick. his eyes look tired and sea green with almost golden flakes scattered around the edges that almost bring life into his features.

Danny and I are held half way through the large room looking up slightly the ceiling is old and painted with pictures of battles and wars of love and of celebrations much like you would see in a catholic cathedral or church. The old man speaks softly but his voice demanded attention looking back down towards him as he speaks "welcome home my dear sweet and welcoming to her pet. Danny growls as he is called a pet as he hates this derogatory term.

The old man leaves his chair but upon looking closer this man is not old in the slightest he must be one of my kind an immortal of the night. Danny also notices this and moves closer as we realise the guards have backed off to leave us be with the old man. I smile at my self I don't know the man or his name same as the guards blonde and spike all because of the way their hair is one is blond obviously and the other has spiked hair.

"I hope you don't mind the way I brought you here but you wouldn't have come if we asked we tried once before." He speaks in that soft commanding voice.

"Your damned right I don't just go somewhere I don't know besides, who are you and where are we?" I yell in anger finally able to let my frustration free.

Danny nudges me slightly as he feels that my yelling may anger the man and they both be killed but I don't change the wording or try to correct myself I've never corrected anything that I mean ever, I'm not about to start now. Danny sighs and shakes his head in the corner of my eye.

"You've not changed a bit since you were taken my sweet girl. It's been what 18 years since you were last in this palace." He says softly not commanding this time but more saddened by this statement. This is now confusing me and I have no idea what is going on. The man steps closer to get a better look at us both.

Danny moves closer out of instinct but doesn't say anything just watches to old man I can't see his eyes but I can already tell that they are yellow and filled with determination and curiosity. the eyes I fell in love with a long time ago when we first met.

The old man watches Danny just as much as Danny is watching him one protective of me and one protecting himself if a fight breaks out between the two I don't know who would come out alive, or at least not mauled and bloody by claws and teeth that will shred skin into a worthless bit of nothing on the floor.

The old man approaches and tuts at himself "where are my manners I am King Hyami of the night dwellers you are princess Hexalina of the night dwellers and prince Danial of the wolves. Welcome home"
