Chapter 11: Take the Shot

Unedited

You landed back onto the balcony of your room and sprinted inside. No one was in sight. You let out a sigh of relief and once again, rummaged around your wardrobe. You pulled out a floor length (F/C) dress that split when meeting your thighs and a pair of black tights. You speedily undressed yourself and slid yourself into the dress, clipping a luminescent cape around your neck. You threw off your boots and slipped your feet into a pair of icy crystal heels. You tugged your gloves and mask off and threw them into the pile of clothing that you shoved into a corner. You adjusted the dress, settled a small tiara onto your head and gripped your halo in your hand.

You gathered your items, your staff, halo and sword and ran out into the corridor. This was the first time you had set foot from the comforts of your room, it felt so different now. You quickly chained your sword to your belt as you ran and the golden hoop floated atop your head. Now only having your staff in your hand, you lifted the hem of your dress from the floor and sprinted faster, your wings still tired from your journey. You flew past the library, past the kitchens, past the guest rooms where the guardians lay, and into the throne room. You huffed and huffed, slowly retrieving your breath as you sat on your throne

"Your Majesty?"

You launched into the air with fright as a young female guard stood before you. Her skin was a dark chocolate, with hints of lighter colours, her shimmering oaken hair with a singular blue streak fell to her shoulders and her bright hazel eyes were filled with concern, "Addison, you scared me!"

"My apologies, my queen," she apologised sincerely, "Might I say, it is wonderful to see you again. I believe you recieved the emergency distress beacon?"

You clutched the locket that hung around your neck and sighed, confusion filling your voice, "I did, what is going on?"

She took a deep breath and knelt before you, "Demitrius Scound has been sighted inside the palace walls. He was seen battling the princess."

You stood to your feet immediately and your jaw fell open, cursing at yourself for his existence. Your nose scrunched in disgust as his name left her mouth and you sat back down, "his location?"

"The infirmary, alongside the princes-"

"What? Why in the nine denizens of hell is he with my daughter?!"

"The princess specifically ordered to be in the same rooms as him, to speak to him I believe. We chained him to the beds, if that's any consolation."

You groaned as you bit your lip in anger, blood slowly pumoing from the small cut, you waved her off, "bring him to me."

"But your highness, what about his injuri-"

"I could not care less for his health and wellbeing! Bring him to me Addison, and send a report on my daughters health," you ordered, your anger rising in your throat. You've never had to yell like that in a long time, it felt strange.

"Y-yes my queen," she saluted, flying off down a hallway and out of sight. You let out a sigh of sadness, lying your sword against the throne and crossed your leg over the other. You stared into your lap as you waited and waited, a few minutes went by and still nothing. You were beginning to lose your patience.

"So, what's goin' on?"

You squeaked in fright as you leaped from your seat once again and looked forward, only to find Bunny sitting on the stairs as he fiddled with his boomerangs. "What's with you and following me?" you chuckled, leaving your throne to join him on the staircase, "like a lost little puppy. Hm?"

"I ain't no pup, mate. Jus' keepin' an eye on ya is all," he said, his chuckle filling the silence as he stared into your eyes, "besides, never expected you o' all people to shout."
