After my tear party, I decide to go find my dad. I walk around the house, and never once do I find him. The house is huge! I walk past a living room, and see that the TV is on.
“Future Queen Luna gone missing. It was reported last night from the crowned Prince George that he mate has gone missing. The last time anyone has seen her was yesterday afternoon at her parents funeral. WWN goes live from the castle.” The news anchor says, I feel tears roll silently down my cheeks.
“For Prince George last night is something he wishes never happened. I was told that after Alyssa Reagan, Prince George’s mate, gave a final good-bye to her parents, she decided to walk in the woods alone. Which in some eyes was mistake number one.”
“Guards and werewolves were able to track her scent into the woods, but they lost the scent when they got to the road.”
A man appears on screen. “We have reason to believe that Princess Alyssa was kidnapped by rogues. At this time we would like to ask anyone with important information that relates to the kidnapping to come forward.”
The women comes back on the screen. “As for now, the kingdom is keeping the rest of the info silent.”
Then the man appears again. “For the privacy and royal monarch, all information is being kept quiet. But please, if you have any information at all…dial the number on the bottom of your screen.” He finally leaves the screen and they are closing.
“I talked to Prince George earlier, and he said he has no comments, but the only thing he would say is that he is going to get his mate back. Alex Pauler WWN. Back to you, Susan.” the women says and they go back to the normal news.
“It’s a shame people are making a big deal about this.” A voice says behind me. I whip around and see a man standing there.
“Who are you?”
“I’m Ford.”
“What do you mean about the news?”
“Well, everyone is making a big deal about now, but in a few months everyone is going to forget.”
“No one is going to forget that the princess got kidnapped.” I say before I can stop myself. I just called myself a princess. This can’t be happening. Next thing you know, I will be bossing people around.
“I guess so, but whatever. It doesn’t matter anyways. You know its such a same really.”1
“What is?” I ask.
“That there won’t be a happy ending to your story.” he says with a smirk, and I snap. I ran at him at full speed, and before he has time to react, I tackle him to the ground. I punch him several times before he has time to slap me. We continue to fight until someone pulls me off of him.
“What is going on here?” a powerful voice says. I look up and face my dad.
“He started it.”
“Ford, would you like to explain to me what is going on?”
“I have no idea, I was just watching the news and she attacked me.”
“You liar!” I scream and start to run at him, but two strong arms hold me back.
My mom runs into the room. “What hell is going on in here?” she ask.
“Your guess is as good as mine,” Ford says. I growl at him.
“Ford leave. I will deal with you later.”
He smirks and leaves the room. I sigh in frustration.
“How about we all take a seat and discuss what just happened.” my mom suggest.
“That sounds like a fine idea, dear. Alyssa?” he asks, as if to ask if i would join them. I shake my head yes, and follow them to the couches. My mom grabs the remote and turns off the TV.
“So, start from the begin.” my mom tells me. And I do. I tell them everything. Not just why I was fighting Ford, but everything. About me and George, my brother and I, my parents -or fake parents.
“Alyssa, it means a lot that you would tell us this.” My mom begins.
“And we are glad that you accept us as your parents.” my dad says.
My mom smiles softly at me. I don’t smile back.
“We would love nothing more than to have you back into our lives.” my mom explains.
“Well, I don’t know if I’m ready for all of this. It’s a lot to take in and all I want right now, is to be with my mate again.” I say and get up and walk to my room.
Later that night, there is a knock on my door, and a women comes in with a tray of food.
“Thank you,” I say, eyeing up the food. I didn’t realize how hungry I was until now. I walk over to here the tray is on the coffee table, and sit down.
There is Mac & Cheese, with a chunk of bread, some water, and a brownie. Which is basically my favorite meal.
I dig in and scarf down all of the food at once. Wow, I really was hungry.
When I am done, I decide to watch some TV, which turn out harder than I thought, because everything is about me. I just shut it off. An hour later the lady comes back and gets my tray.
“Is there anything else I can get you?”
“A way out of here.”
“I wish I could. I’ve been her for many years, and never once have I found a way out.”
“You’re a prisoner?”
“No, nothing like that but it feels like it sometimes.” she says. “Well, I hope you rest well.” She says and leaves the room. I get up and walk into the closet. I find a shirt and put it on. I brush my teeth, and then head to bed.
I lay there tossing and turn, not able to sleep. I roll over and turn on the lamp. I look inside the night stand. I find a book there.
I pick it up. I read the tittle, Fire, Smoke, Ashes.
I run my fingers over top the pages. It’s worn, looks as if someone has read it many times.
I flip to the first page and start reading…
By the next morning, I am over half way through the book. I didn’t sleep at all last night, I stayed up and read the amazing book.
I look out the window and see a bunch of wolves coming. Is it George? Did he come to save me?
I get up and rush to the window.
I don’t see George, and I don’t recognize any of the wolves. My door opens and I whip my head around.
My dad stands there. “What’s going on?”
“They heard that my long lose daughter has returned.” he says with a smile. I look back at the window, then at him.
“Well, I’m not going out there.”
“I’m not forcing you too.” he says. “But they will be out there for a while. Breakfast is ready.” he says and leaves, closing the door behind him. I watch the wolves out the window again.
There’s so many. How am I ever going to get out of here?
