CHAPTER SIX

Dru

She watched as the men talked near the door and tried to calm herself. She’d been here all of two days and already there were things trying to kill her. She’d never been good at dealing with death.

When she was ten her grandmother died and all she wanted to do was crawl in a hole someplace until it was over. Everything changed that day and she knew it wouldn’t be the last time she’d deal with it. She remembered the funeral and watching them close the casket over her grandmother’s figure. She almost looked too peaceful as they slowly took her from the world in her final resting place.

This was different and she knew it. This time it would be her being closed in the casket, but she wouldn’t be near her family. She’d be alone, save four Fae guards that didn’t seem to want to protect her because they cared, but because it was their duty as Fae warriors.

She tried to listen to what they were saying, but they were too far from her. She sighed and ran her hand across the arm of the throne. It was amazing how the carving of it looked so precise. She smiled and felt a tingle in her hand.

Dru pulled her hand away and bit her lip. She was curious. Slowly, she placed her hand back on the edge of the armrest and felt a surge of energy. She gasped as it traveled through her and settled in her chest. Dru pulled back and the feeling was gone.

“We aren’t going to stay here,” Cole announced and Dru shook off the odd feeling in her chest.

“Wouldn’t it be safer to stay here? There are guards and people who will warn us,” Dru said and then she thought about it. If they stayed here, they were risking lives of people who had nothing to do with it. She glanced back at Cole. “No, you’re right. We can’t stay here.”

He squinted at her before glancing to Ian. “There’s an outpost we can go to. Can you ride?”

“A horse?” She felt stupid the minute she said it. She’d never ridden a horse in her life. She’d never even went to summer camp. She shook her head.

“You’ll ride with me, then.” Cole reached for her and pulled her to her feet.

“You’ll be safer with Cole until I can teach you,” Ian said with a smile.

“You’d teach me to ride?” Dru was slightly confused at the idea he wanted to help her. She was the cause of all this, but she didn’t know much about the darkness. Maybe it was more than that.

“Of course. Every Royal should be able to ride a horse. You’ll need it to get around when you are called.” He put his hand on the small of her back and she felt her pulse skip a beat. Everything about this man could kill her, but she felt strangely protected when he was near.

They made their way through the hallway and Dru finally got a look at what the darkness could do.
