Chapter Seven

“This has the queen’s stench all over it.” I was shaking with rage, with worry. “The vampires are on her side. She’s had them take Alexander to split our focus between the war and saving the man we love.” I wanted to kick something. Hit something. Scream so loud that she’d hear us high in her damn castle.

“She won’t kill him.” Aneen whispered, her hands balled into fists. “We have to believe she won’t kill him.”

“That may have been her order, but vampires are unpredictable creatures.” Dusk said softly.

“Kierce!” Aneen yelled so loud that it woke many.

The man was asleep below a tree in the shadows of the fires. He rose to his feet, running toward us. “What has happened?”

“A vampire took Alexander.” Her voice wavered slightly. “I need you and Laren to lead them toward Fairaine.”

Laren was beside Kierce but a moment later. “You’re fighting a war. It’s worth more than one man’s life.”

“He’s not a man!” Aneen yelled. She took a deep breath. “He’s a half vampire and we love him. Stefen and I will save him. It’s your task to ready these warriors and the coming Aos Si. Whether I’m there or not, she must be taken off the throne.” Aneen kicked dirt over the fire. “Now, I need proper clothes and weapons. Something that’ll hold up against a full-blooded vampire.”

Dusk said. “Thorn and I will come with you.”

Thorn jerked his gaze to Dusk and then rolled his eyes. “Fine.”

“Fall, an Aos Si failed to see the vampire until it was too late. It’s our task to repay his mistake by helping you.” When we didn’t say anything, Dusk kept talking. “We can fly high and tell you what direction they’re going. We may be small, but we can fight and you cannot go alone.”

“Who you calling small?” Thorn grumbled.

Aneen nodded then stared at Dusk with the softest gaze. “Thank you.”

He gave a nod.

“No! You cannot go alone.” Fall flew toward us with nearly a half dozen Aos Si behind him. When had they gotten here?

Dusk gave him an angry glance. “Thorn will be with me.”

“Please, your highness, it’s not safe.” Fall stopped a foot away from the angry fairy.

“Did … did he just call you “your highness”?” I asked. Maybe I heard him wrong?

Dusk cleared his throat, almost awkwardly. “I may be… I am royalty.” He sighed. “I’m only eighth in line for the Aos Si throne.”

So they had a king/queen system?

Aneen grabbed pants, a shirt and a sword belt from one of the banshees. She ran behind the boulder and started changing.

Dusk turned to his Aos Si. “It’s my orders to go with Aneen’s army and fight. You will make the Aos Si proud by helping rid Otherworld of the human queen. I will rescue their future king. We shall meet on the battle field.”

Fall wavered in the air. “Yes, Prince Dusk.”

Aneen came out from behind the rock. The black pants she wore were tight with brown boots strapped up her legs. The shirt clung to her breasts and bared her stomach.
