"Jacqueline prepare a room for my guest in the guest wing and have a handmaiden sent to her to cater for her every need, if you need any other thing let me or my seconds know" And with that being said, he swiveled on his feet and marched into the dim lit castle.
"You've got balls I'll tell ya" Xxavier swung his arms around her neck and she glanced up at him with questioning eyes.
"No one has the balls to even raise their voices at the king but you've done it multiple times in one day and still have your head right where it should be" Zedner chuckled at her with mirth dancing in his eyes before they led her into the castle, her eyes bulging as she took in the large Chandeliers adorning the ceilings, giving the room a sort of ethereal glow, the winding stairs took her breath away and the more she stared the more dizzy she became.
"Pardon me but are we using the stairs? She asked as she glanced at it warily.
"You seem out of it, are you okay? She smiled through clenched teeth as painful memories filled her head once more and her eyes glazed as she slumped backwards into the arms of none other than Logan.
-------------------------------------------
Logan
Logan had stood by the shadows alongside the stairwell when he saw how her expression morphed from exctastic to fear and pain within seconds and his protective instincts had flared up as he zapped to her, light blinking rapidly at the sudden use of magic and caught her just as she slumped backwards.
"Is she okay?" Zena asked, stepping forward.
"I don't think so, she's boiling hot and for me to even feel it is something" he replied and gathered her into his arms then zapped up the stairs easily locating the guest room prepared for her before he got there and laid her tiny form on the queen sized round bed.
"Jacqueline send for some bowls of chilling water and white towels, Zedner get the royal physician, Xxavier go with him so he knows how urgent it is and Zena please can I get some fresh wares from you for her" He ordered and they all gave strict nods and rushed out, all going in different directions to get what was ordered some and soon he heard the unmistakable sounds of dragon wings and roars of annoyance at what had happened to the girl they all had a deep bond to.
He heard scratchings and soon the room gave a short shake and his brow furrowed as he felt the bond of his dragon Storm flare more brighter and he pulled open the glass doors leading to the large balcony meant for dragons landing and staying in and the long serpentine head of his dragon pushed into the room and went towards the bed with a whine and his heart clenched as the dragon felt helpless and worried about the girl, another emotion filled him from their connection, one of awe and was that..... he didn't even want to think about it, he had enough on his plate to add that to the list,what was happening to everyone and every beasts.
"S-Shadow..."
"What is it? He barked into the mind link as Diego from the Caves talked to him.
"The wraith, he's being violent and has been trying to break free off the chains and it seems it might happen any minute now" his dragon growled loudly and he looked up to him and found the milky eyes of the girl who had been laying down on the bed now stood by the door staring at them.
"Deal with it, that's your jobs" he quickly ordered although he somewhat knew that was impossible but that was all he could say as the door was pulled open and the girl walked off and he followed, barely watching his dragon retreat and fly off, clearly circling the castle to keep an eye on the wandering girl.
He watched her move to the stairs and falter for a bit but at the sound of whatever she might have heard, her eyes hardened and she raced down the stairs so fast his eyes blurred trying to follow, wow, he zapped up to her, never had he seen such a thing and it excited him so much, now there might be the slightest chance that someone was more like him than the others and his heart fluttered weirdly to which he rubbed at in confusion.
He followed her down another hidden stairs and into the cavern that lead to the caves, maybe a dragon could help her with the fever but no, she surprised him as she sniffed the air and her ears twitched and began for the untouched cave left of her and that was when he heard the unmistakable roar of an angry wraith and his feet came to a stop as he understood where she was going but this beast would tear her into pieces if she wasn't stopped before it was too late but alas when his eyes snapped open again after the thought, he found that she was nowhere to be seen and he bellowed as pure unadulterated fear filled his veins like ice.
"Aleirraki....
MEANWHILE.
ALLEIRAKI Pov.
Aleirraki had just sailed down the stairs and was running back up again, she had gone with her mother on one of her home cleaning and had been told she could play around if she felt like it by the female owner who had chuckled at her playful self, she was just finishing the last stairs at the top when a hand grabbed her by the shoulder and she glanced up in alarm to see a lady dressed as her mother staring at her with a mean venomous sneer and her little brain told her it didn't feel right but she merely smiled at the lady who glowered at her and opened her lips to spill out accusations on her mother, her poor innocent mother.
"Your mother is a seductress, she's a witch that's what she is, Clayton would have been mine sooner rather than later but no she had to sneak her way into his stupid heart with you, he loves you and by stretch that little bitch but no I wouldn't let you ruin my plans, the bitch and her bitch has to go" the lady spewed in anger, spittles falling to the little girl's face and she had squeezed her face in confusion and pain as the lady's nails dug into her skin hard.
"But mummy is go-"
"Shut up you little rascal" her little lips snapped shut at that order and with that the lady gave her a hard shove and she screamed in alarm as she went tumbling down the stairs, her head bouncing off the steep stairs and cracking, her body bruised and battered and in inexplicable pain as she fell to the last stairs and rolled to the floor, three flights worth of stairs and the girl had blood pooling around her whole body, pains filled her tiny self amd she cried out as hee vision swirled and she saw the sneering face once again before her eyes snapped shut....
