The Warrior Inside (Discontinued)

8: You Remind Me Of Someone

"Come in" a man said, who I guessed was the king.
Eric opened the door and pulled me into the room, his finger nails allowing some blood to escape.
I whimpered, and Iris hissed in my head, Don't show weakness!
I sighed internally as a man in a throne looked at me. There was something off about him. Something I should be seeing.
The man chuckled, "Ah, the mu-" Eric shook his head furiously, and the man rephrased himself, "rogue. Now may I ask why you entered the kingdom's territory?"
The look on his face told me this was basically a life or death question.
From the power I felt radiating off of him, I knew he was the king. But my question was, Where is the Queen?
I answer him before I get punished for not replying, "Sir, I recently shifted, having no idea about werewolves. I'm sorry, I should've tried to learn more before I even walked through the woods."
It didn't feel right to be apologizing to the King. Why?
My wolf say nothing but the king replies, "Yes you shold have, rogue. No tell me, what is your name?"
I answer quickly, "Bree," he gives me a look and I add, "Rose Night."
The king nods and responded, "Well to- Bree, my name is King Chesed, but I prefer King Ches."
This was an act, he was faking kindness. But why?
I nod my head, and apologize again, "I'm sorry King Ches for entering your kingdoms territory."
He let out a laughed, forced, "That's okay Bree. I'll get one of my maids to show you around the kingdom here."
I slowly nod as he rings a bell. A girl with dark red hair,green eyes, and freckles came into the room. She had a look of panic on her face when she smelt the air, but then the king coughed. "Maid, I would like you to show Bree around the kingdom." 
The maid looked nervous, but nodded her head. She looked at me and motioned for me to follow. I did of course.
Once we are two hallways away from the room with King Ches and Eric, the maid spoke to me. "I'm so sorry I didn't speak back there. I'm not aloud to speak near him, mostly because of the remarks I would make. By the way, my name's Alva."
I nod my head and ask, "Whg are you a maid?"
She shrugged her shoulders, "Parents died when I was ten, and I have a seven year old brother who needs me to take care of him, so I found a job."
She points to stuff to our left, saying it was a meeting room. I ask her, "What's your brothers name?"
She seemed surprised.she noticed the confusion on my face and laughed. "Sorry, I'm just not used to people actually making a conversation with me! Anyways, my brothers name is Andrew! He's so cute! I can show you him now if you want?"
I nod my head and smile at her. She takes me throw the castle, and out of it. On our way to meet Andrew she kept pointing out what this was and what that was.
I could already tell we were going to be good friends.
Soon we arrived to a small little house that looked a little bit run down. Alva ran to the door and threw it open, "Drew! Mandy!"
She told me who Mandy was, Mandy was a girl who babysits Andrew while Alva is busy.
A girl with dirty blonde hair, brown eyes and glasses comes running down followed by a young boy. The boy had red hair, and green eyes. What J found adorable was the boy, Andrew was holding a worn teddy bear close to his chest.
Andrew yelled happily, "Alvy!" Running up to him he throws his arms around her, still hdibg his teddy.
Mandy walks over to me, a little tense. "Who are you?"
"I'm B-"
Alva cut me off, "She's Bree! My new friend! Isn't this great Mandy?"
Me and Mandy laughed at her. Mandy giggled, "Yes it is. Well I need to go now, my mate's probally missing me right now."
Mate.
I remember that millisecond of joy, only to have it crushed. Iris growled at me and I wiped away the memory.
I smiled at her, "It was good to meet you!"
Mandy grinned, "You too!" She gave us all a hug before sprinting out the door and down the street.
Alva laughed, "Well she's gone."
I smiled at her. We were talking for a little, then I felt a tug on my leg. I look die. And smile any Andrew. Leaning down I ask him, "Yes?"
He wrapped me in a hug and whispered, "You remind me of someone."
Alva looked at him curiously. "Who?"
Andrew pulled back, and hugged his teddy close to his body. "You remind me of the girl I saw in my dream."
I froze. "Wh-What?"
He pouted a little and whispered, "The girl Diana told me about."
With that he left, heading up the stairs, Probally to his room.
His words leaving not just me, but Alva too, confused.
