That Counts (Bk2)

Chap 23 - Ruling the world

Liam's POV

I open my eyes slowly, I blink a few times to adjust to the light. I push myself up and see myself in the hospital wing.

"You majesty you're awake." A nurse said and examined me.

"W-what happened?" I mumble and try to get up but the nurse pushed my down.

"You mustn't come out of bed your Majesty! You're still recovering from the toxic shot in you. I suspect Princess Emma did it. Harry is in the same situation." She said and gestures to the bed next to me.

"We took out as much as we can, you'll be out of here in no time." She said.

"Where's Emma?" I said. My mind was dizzy.

"Uh....The guards last saw her running out if the kingdom and to the vampire realm. They tried to stop her but knocked them out..." She said quietly. I was wide awake and staring out the window.

"Guards!" I yell. In the corner of my eye I see the nurse flinch. In a second, I hear heavy footsteps and a few guards came and stood in front of me. They all stared at the nurse.

"I can't wait, we'll to the the vampire realm tonight. Rescue the boys and girls." I ordered.

"Bu-"

"No buts. We have to go." I hissed. The nurse bowed, I saw a tear fall from her eyes.

"L-Liam w-w-ait." A voice said. I turn and saw Harry struggling to get up.

"Harry. I'm sorry but you need to stay here, I'll be fine with my guards. I promise Emma will return safely. " I said, I meant it.

"N-n-no I-I ne-eed to go-o, she's m-y wife," he stuttered.

"Harry looks at yourself! You're still fighting off the poison. You can't fight." I said. He shook his head.

"I promised her, I'll protect through life and death, and if I'm not saving nor are you," he said. I groan,

"Fine you win, lets go!" I said. He smiled and got up. I sigh as we head out. We turned into our wolf and started to run.

When we made it in the castle, we saw no one or heard. We wandered around the castle till we heard footsteps, it belonged to one. Minutes later we saw Emma. I smiled as Harry and her was untied. I looked at her carefully. Something seemed off.....

"Emma, oh Emma! I missed you so much. Why did you leave without one of us?!" Harry asked.

"Uh...well um....I had to save them Harry, you know that, especially Annie!"

"I know baby but you a newborn and it's dangerous for you to go alone." He said. I sigh.

"Where are the others?" I asked. Emma shook her head.

"When I came no one was there. They're gone Liam. I don't know what Alex did to them." She said, a tear falling from her eyes.

"Shh Emma it's ok. We'll find them." I sent the guards to search the castle leaving me, Harry and Emma. They continued to talk so I left them and started to search.

Annie's POV

I woke up from a sudden pain on my side. I looked around and saw nothing but white walls. I couldn't move with the handcuffs on my wrists and legs. I tried to break them but it seemed like they were vampire proof.

"Well, well guess who's awake?"

A voice said. I looked around but saw no one.

"Who's there?!" I yell. a camouflaged door opens and shuts and Alex comes in with Calum. I curse under my breath as I attempt to break the chains fail.
