Anna (POV) (oooooOoooOooo)

*Three weeks later-

I slid behind the painting, it was the only way to get out of the palace without being seen. I needed to get the word out. I travelled along the dark and tight spaces that led out of the regal castle, brushing spiders and cobwebs out of my face as I went. My long and expensive dress was tight around my body and this contrasted with the tight space I was travelling down made me feel extremely claustrophobic. I hadn't been able to get out of the palace for three whole weeks down to the fact that Prince Dean had wanted to see me almost every day. The more I learnt about him the more of a mystery he became. I questioned him on angels and when he spoke about them he had softness in his voice unlike that of his fathers. I had also spoken to his younger brother about the angel situation and he seemed to be far too intrigued with them, turning the questions around on me and trying to make me tell him everything I knew about angels. Of course I couldn't tell him too much otherwise I might have given myself away. I couldn't afford that at this time so I just decided to let the matter drop.

I kept travelling down the narrow hallways and finally smelt the fresh air, knowing that I was closer to getting out of the castle grounds. I slid through a crack in the wall and looked up at the bright blue sky above me, feeling the breeze drift through my hair and around my skin. It had felt like an eternity since I had last been out of the palace so it felt good to breathe in the fresh air. I started walking, keeping down low so not to be seen by any of the guards up on the battlements but I finally got to the stables where they kept the horses and picked out a nice, boring brown one - knowing his would belong to no one of importance. I rode for three whole days, running the horse almost into the ground during the time. When I finally got to my destination I jumped straight off the horse without hardly waiting for it to stop and entered the isolated building. As I walked through everybody stared, anger and hate filling their eyes but I had a more important mission than to deal with a couple of jealous and ignorant angels. I walked up the spiral staircase until I came to a door up on the top floor of the high building, knocking on it three times, making my raps loud and obnoxious. The door swung open and there he was, sat behind a writing desk. He looked up at me and perked his eyebrows up expectantly.

"Hello Michael." I nod in respect and he stands up.

"Anael, what are you doing here?" He asks, walking around his desk and standing in front of me.

"I know you think that I betrayed our kind Michael, but that is not the case. I have some information for you." I keep my head held high as his piercing blue eyes bare into me.

"I don't know what to think Aneal. You disappear for years and years and suddenly you are here. I thought you were dead."

"No you didn't, you knew exactly where I was. I know you have spies working at the castle in Lawrence." His lips thinner and his eyes narrowed. He pursed his lips and leaned back on his desk, putting a hand on either side of him to hold himself up.

"Alright, so care to elaborate?"

"I had to do it without your permission Michael, because I knew that you would have never allowed me to do what I have done. I have wooed the prince you know? He will probably ask for my hand in marriage any day now."

"Do you love him?" He asked harshly, gritting his teeth.

"I don't love him, no. But there is something about him Michael, he and his brother are not what I call... Normal." I pull a bit of a face and he tilts his head slightly.

"They're demons Anael, of course they're not normal."

"That's what I mean, they aren't normal demons. They have... Feelings is the best word to describe it." Michael nods in understanding.
