Put on your armor

Sharpen your swords

And let the fires eradicate the war

"We move out at dawn. Prepare the army." Damien announces to the generals of the kingdom; war is upon us. And it came sooner than we thought.

"Yes your majesty." A union of voices ring out

"And no matter what, Axel will not leave that battle field alive. Understood?" Sharp mods are delivered before they all exit to carry out their duties.

I've been scared many times in my life. My mother's original death, the countless times living with Ruby, falling in love and Aurora being kidnapped right from under me.

This time was different. The fault of the underworld rests in the palms of Damien and I's hands. How I wish I could snap my fingers and Axel's neck would snap.

He is going to be one tough bitch to kill.

I would die for my husband and my children if it meant Axel would no longer be in this world. I would slit my own throat if he were to suffer as much pain as I felt in my life time.

I'm scared.

Such an odd feeling, isn't it?

"Kat?"

"Mhmm?"

"Are you feeling okay? I've been calling your name for awhile now." Damien's eyes held so much worry. It made mine spin around and grow ten times more.

"As fine as can be expected." He grabs my hand and takes me out of the great room. Walking my jittery body to our room, once there I check on the sleeping child. I gather little Kai into my arms and set myself on the bed. Damien sits by my side with his head in one hand.

"He's precious."

"Katarina, we need to talk."

"What is it?"

"If I don't survive..." I hold Kai with one arm while gripping Damien's hand.

"Don't say that. I beg you not to say that."

"Katarina...my love, if I die in battle. Promise me will you run."

"You know I can't do that."

"If Axel kills me then he will never stop until you are dead as well as our children. You need to take them and run."

"I won't leave you in battle."

"I'm not asking you to do so. Only if we lose, you take the children and run."

"I promise, but only if we lose. Which we won't."

"I'm just preparing for the worst." All of a sudden, the door to the room opens up to reveal a little brown haired princess.

"Come give daddy a hug, princess." A bright smile and a giggle comes rushing out of her. For someone her age, she sure was strong enough to tackle her father on the bed. She jumps right on him, causing him to fall back. A little black cat following right after the princess.

"I love you daddy!" Aurora screams while doing a funky dance.

"What about me?"

"Oh, I love mommy more!" That's when she, kindly, hugs my side; her noticing the now awake child in my arms.

"I'm hurt." Damien mumbles making me laugh.

"Aurora, your father and I have to leave for a few days. But we'll be back."
