The Academy

Chapter 7: Mysterious Voice

"You have a lot of old paintings- just like us" Danielle spoke admiring the painting on the walls. "We've had them for centuries" Hayden spoke, "Your castle is bigger than ours" Danielle added. "This is your castle to" Hayden spoke. Hayden was giving her a tour of the castle- the architecture like the school was very beautiful and many of the rooms were filled with such art and care that it felt so homely.

"When Flora and I were kids-" Hayden had started talking but Danielle has zoned him out, fixated on a large painting it was of a man- a chilling sensation overwhelmed Danielle as she reached out to touch the initials R.W. "Who is this man" Danielle spoke, Hayden stopped talking. "I'm not sure- my father said it was just a painting of someone he knew" Hayden spoke. Something about this man felt so familiar, had she seen before. Maybe he was a friend of her fathers as well, "Oh there you are- dinner is ready" Hayden's mother spoke ushering them to the dining room.

"So Danielle your father tells me your ambitious with the royal army" The king spoke, " I am" she replied, "Such a lively girl" The queen spoke, "You know when I was your age my parents wouldn't even let me play fight with my brothers" She added. "That's to bad you look like you could take them" Danielle smiled, The queen winked at her. "Your such a badass Danny" Flora spoke, Danielle laughed at her sudden compliment.

"My family like you a lot" Hayden spoke as Danielle emerged dressed in her pyjamas, of course Tori packed the most slutty pyjamas she could find. "Are you trying to make me attack you" Hayden spoke his eyes grew darker. "No- Tori is trying to make you attack me" she huffed pulling the covers over her legs. "Goodnight- if you try anything I'll mutilate you" Danielle smiled. Hayden walked over to her, "Good night" He spoke in a husky voice, swooping down he pecked her cheeks. Danielle blushed pushing him away she turned away from him and pretended like she was sleeping.

"Danielle" a soft voice whispered, shifting in her sleep, "Not now Tori" she mumbled. "Danielle" it whispered again, her eyes flew open in frustration. "What is it" she spoke sitting up but there was no one, "Hayden" she mumbled into the dark but his sleeping figure didn't show any signs of him calling her. Resting her head back down she was officially losing her mind, closing her eyes she drifted off once more.

"Danielle" the voice spoke, again she sat up looking around. What the hell she thought, "Danielle" the voice called once more, sliding off her bed she headed for the large French doors to the balcony that were slightly open, opening the doors she stepped onto the balcony. "I can hear you" she spoke into the darkness of the night, nothing. There was just silence, turning back around she started to retreat. "Danielle come home" the voice seemed to sound like the wind, looking out onto the sea of forest Danielle couldn't help but feel drawn to it.

"Who are you" She spoke, nothing. A few minutes later and still nothing, "What are you doing" Hayden's voice startled her. "Nothing- I thought I heard something" She spoke stepping back into the room. "I thought maybe you were trying to escape" he spoke, "Oh darn I wasted a good opportunity" Danielle muttered, "Don't even think about it" Hayden growled. Danielle went back to bed, but something wouldn't let her sleep- she kept hearing singing inside her head.

"You look tired- did Hayden keep you up all night" Flora spoke wiggling her eyebrows. "No- and ew" Danielle spoke, "You alright" she spoke, "I need coffee" Danielle spoke pouring herself a huge glass. "You ready" Hayden spoke, "Are you taking her to the garden" Flora spoke, Hayden nodded. "What are you doing" Danielle questioned as they sat at a small set table. "I just wanted to spend some time with you" Hayden smiled, god why was his smile so perfect. "What do you want to do today" Hayden spoke, "Go back to The Academy" Danielle spoke hopeful.

"Except for that" he spoke. "What's inside the forest" Danielle spoke, "The Forest of magic" Hayden spoke, Danielle nodded. "I'm not sure my father forbids anyone to go inside- he said the magic in there is to tricky and bad things may happen" Hayden spoke, "So you've never gone into the forest" Danielle spoke finding new interest, "No- no one has in centuries" Hayden spoke. "Let's go inside" Danielle spoke, "Did you not just hear me- my father said it's dangerous" Hayden spoke flatly. "Do you always follow the rules- your so boring" Danielle groaned, "I'm a king- it's my job to follow the rules set by my ancestors" Hayden spoke. "Such a square" Danielle mumbled, "You know as queen your going to have to follow rules to" Hayden spoke.

"Well than it's a good thing I'm not a queen and I'm not planning on being one" Danielle spoke irritated, she wanted to go into the forest- something was clearly calling her. "Your my queen" Hayden spoke, "Am I" she spoke, "If you think I'm going to change for you than your asking to much buddy" she added.

"I would never do that- your perfect" Hayden spoke, "Come on let's go horseback riding" Hayden spoke leading Danielle to the stables. "This is my horse- Silver" Hayden spoke petting a beautiful white horse, "You can pick anyone you want" he spoke. Danielle walked down the stables to the many horses they had, her eyes landed on a huge black one. "This one" she pointed, "Oh no- nobody rides that one Princess- he's to rough- won't take a rider" A stable boy spoke, "Oh I'm sure he's fine" Danielle spoke approaching his stable she held her hands out to pet him, holding her hands in the air she waited for him to come to her and sure enough he did.

"See everyone likes you" Hayden smiled, Hayden led Danielle all around the kingdom, it was so green unlike her own kingdom but I guess it made sense since werewolves needed the outdoors to set their wolves free. Stopping at a huge waterfall Hayden got off his horse. "I'm begging to think you have a thing for waterfalls" Danielle spoke watching Hayden letting his horse drink the water. "Does doggy like the water" Danielle teases, Hayden growled playfully tossing her over his shoulder he jumped into the falls. "Now we're all wet" Danielle whined slapping Hayden on his chest, "I like you wet" he smirked holding her hips he kissed her. It felt like something out of the movies, Hayden got more passionate with his kiss pulling her so close there clothes felt like restrictions. Pulling away he rested his head once again on her forehead, "I want to kiss you all the time" he whispered laugh, the sound of his laugh made her stomach bubble.
