Anastasia

first day away

Dylan and Charlie turned up at ten minutes before eight, which I was very happy about

"So where are we going first Anastasia?" Dylan asked I was still eating breakfast when they turned up, so with a bite of toast still in my mouth I spoke

"Mm I want to visit black wolf coven first, I need to speak to the alpha" Dylan raised an eyebrow as if to say 'explain', I went on to explain what had happened with Jackson and midnight

"Oh gods, Lucas needs a good kicking, he shouldn't do that, I mean wolves aren't supposed to be caged"

"Caged? I didn't say they were caged" I mentioned

"No I mean warewolves have two personalities the human and the wolf, they co-exist when the human is out the wolf is caged, when the wolf is out the human is caged, caging the wolf for that long is not healthy, the wolf is weak, and I'll bet you the world Lucas did this so that no one is strong enough to overthrow him as alpha"

"Wait, they can do that? They can overthrow him?" I asked intruiged

"Yes but because  the wolves are so weak they can't" Dylan finished explaining. I was so angry I wanted to break bones I was fuming, I felt a hand on mine and I calmed down, I looked at Damon to thank him but he was looking at my plate, when I followed his line of vision, I saw that my toast was burnt to a crisp, and the fork I had been holding to eat my beans had melted in my beans

"Oh" was all I could say

"It's ok" Damon assured as he moved the plate away,

"Are you alright?" Charlie asked, I just shook my head

"I was so angry" I announced what they had probably already knew

"Remind me to never get on your bad side" Dylan said, smiling.

After fifteen minuites we had blinked outside the black wolf coven, I pressed the buzzer and told the man who I was, who was with me and who we wanted to see, the gate opened allowing us all in, we walked into the front yard, beyond the gates there were wolves training, some were running I assumed they were playing as they were being chased, we were greated at the front door by non other than Lucas,

"Welcome your majesty" Lucas seemed more relaxed, more happy

"Lucas, you already know Damon,  this is Charlie and this is Dylan" I introduced pointing to each man in turn

"Welcome, welcome, welcome" Lucas greeted each man with a handshake, and I did notice he didn't growl at Damon this time, "please come this way" Lucas started to guide us indoors, but I stopped him

"I would rather stay out here, Lucas,  if that's ok? I would like to talk to members of your coven"

"About what? Is everything okay" Lucas seemed worried

"Everything is fine I did tell you last time that I would check up on you, consider this me checking up on you" Lucas just nodded "you may leave, if you wish, Lucas, but please do not try and interfere" I told him, he nodded and I signald for the others to spread out and talk to the wares.

Lucas didn't stay with us but he did linger, it seemed the wares were happier now than they were the last time I had visited, in fact I had found out that Jackson had come to visit too, after his friends had told him how much the coven had changed he just had to visit, and Lucas had been great with him, Jackson hadn't stayed saying his home was now Midnight but he had promised to visit again, to which his friends were happy, I was happy as well, this was great. Dylan Charlie, and Damon reported more or less the same everyone was happy.

"Well I must say Lucas, your coven are alot happier than they were the last time, I will be checking up on you again in the future, but if you carry on like this there will be no reason for worry, just remember, a good leader is caring, and understanding, hmm?"I told Lucas when we saw him again, he just nodded
"Well we must be going, we still have many covens to visit, until next time" I shook hands with Lucas and then we were off to Midnight, I had met Arimas but I still wanted to meet with his coven, I had only met him and Karen the last time.

We blinked to the corridor in which we had blinked the last time we were here, luckily as soon as we did we saw a woman with purple hair and black attire,

"Hello, I'm queen Anastasia is Arimas around? I would like to meet him"

"He's in his room" she pointed upstairs "would you like me to show you where?"

"No, we remember where it is, thankyou..."

"Belle"

"Ahh Belle, tell me Belle, are you happy here?"

"Yeah, I've always lived here" she told me

"And the world? is there anything you don't like? Anything you would like to change? I'm the queen I am here to help" I assured her

"Nothing your majesty, although a better supply of blood would be good, the blood we get mostly comes in bags from the hospitals in the mortal world but fresh blood is better, it tastes better"

"Hmm, let me think of a solution I'll sort it" I told her she walked away with a nod, I signalled towards Dylan who was already writing down what Belle had said, we made our way upstairs towards where Arimas's room was situated.

I knocked on the door, I heard some shuffling then the door opened, it was Arimas I saw he had some blood on his lips, but I shook his hand non the less and did introductions,  I explained to Arimas what we were doing, what my goal was, I also mentioned what Belle had said and I asked him if it was okay for me to talk to the people in his coven

"Your majesty I think it's amazing what you're doing and you're more than welcome to do as you wish, this way" he said as he stood up, we left his room, went downstairs,  walked down the corridor we had blinked into, there was a door further down the corridor it led to another room alot of people were in this room "most of these vampires can't go outside during the day, so they stay here, some high level vampires, witches and warewolves are outside" Arimas explained, Damon and I decided to stay in here whilst Dylan and Charlie went outside

We spent the rest of the day here, not because it took the whole day to talk to everyone but because non of us wanted to leave, by the end of the day Dylan was drunk, Charlie was tipsy and I will admit I was a little drunk, Damon wasn't, apparently vampires can't get drunk, but hey that's not fair, Arimas had insisted we spend the night, Dylan and Charlie were shown to a room but I decided I wanted to stay up with the vampires, so when the moon was out all the vamps gathered outside, there was a deck out here and we talked and drank all night, of course Damon insisted I fell asleep but I didn't I was definitely awake the whole night, it was too loud to sleep anyway.
