To Love Another

Mystery

Orion

What a glorious night! I couldn't believe it. I didn't think it would be possible for me to feel as I do. She amazes me. She's funny, and has a great arm. When I first started sparing her in sword play I was afraid for her. She is so small and fragile looking. I was quickly surprised by her skill and strength. I was wrong to assume that because she was a women she was weak. I would have to go before my father and argue on her behalf. If she couldn't practice she could diminish her skills. When we rule I will not forbid her or anyone else for that matter to learn how to defend themselves.

I still do not know what I was thinking when I kissed her. Something came over me and even thought I knew it was wrong I just had to. Her skin was soft under my fingers. Her eyes so green like meadow drawing me closer to her small warm frame. her cheeks made me wonder if her lips were just as soft. I gently tested them to see. It was like nothing I had felt before. They were soft and warm. I had never felt anything so grand. I realized quickly that I shouldn't be doing this so like a coward I quickly pulled away and with haste bid her goodnight. Now I sit in my room alone simply reminiscing. I laid down knowing sleep was along way off. I tossed and turned for hours. Just and the sun came up sleep finally overtook me.

It felt like my eyes had just closed when there was a blood curtailing scream from near by. I jumped out of bed ready to shift and defend my self. I surveyed the room and saw no immediate danger. I could hear loud sobs coming from somewhere, the hall maybe. I quickly darted for the door unsure of what I would find. I looks up and down the hall and again saw no one. Had I imagined it? Was I simply having a nightmare? I listened and again I heard sobbing. I followed the noise to Aurora's room. The door was open so I entered.

The room was a mess. The everything was nocked over or broken. Something's were shredded beyond recognition. As I surveyed the room a women lay on the floor sobbing. Her hands were bound behind her back. She had a bump on her head and a bloody nose. Her dress was torn and she was sobbing semi coherently. "My fault...my fault...my poor little one...my fault..." I walked over to her and gently untied her and rolled her over. So I could see her face. Through the bruises and blood I was able to see it was Aurora's hand maid. "Veronica, what happened? Where is Aurora?" She continue to sob harder. "Attacked. Gone...All my fault..." She continued with her muttering. I gently laid her down. I yelled down the hall for a guard I knew was posted there. "Guard! Come quickly!" Two were there in seconds. They entered the room as stairs at me, both in awe of the condition of the room. "Get my father and a Doctor! Go Now!" She sprinted off as fast as there legs could carry them.

Many people think werewolves can communicate trough a mind like. They are party right. We do have a link, but it only exists in wolf form and it's not open all the time. We share what we want like in human form. The mind link is the same as talking only in wolf form.

While I waited for my dad I searched through the destroyed room for Aurora. I was so lost in my own world as i franticly searched for Aurora that I didn't notice right away that her maids sobs were not loud anymore, they were softer. I quickly spared a glance to the maid only to see a blank stare on her face while repeating the same three words over and over again. "All my fault...All my fault...All my fault..." I turned from her and quickly started my frantic search for Aurora. She had to be here. "O my, Son what happened here?" I jumped at my fathers words. I turned to him and continued searching while I talked, "I am unsure, when I asked the maid she was mostly incoherent." I gestured to her. "All I could make out was attacked and gone. Now she seams to be addled. I have been searching as best as I could but so far the princess does not seem to be here." My father quickly turned to his guard and ordered one to fetch servers to help search the room. And the other to bring Joseph. "Be quick with Joseph. It is of the upmost importance that I have before me immediately am I understood?" The guard nodded and left. My father entered the room the Doctor on his heals and made his way to the maid. The doctor examined her and turned to my father. She needs to rest. The blood and bump to her head are not serious. She is in shock. I will give her some medicine to relax her and make her sleep. It will be a few day but she should be able to tell you what happened when she awakes." My father nodded and turned back to the room that now had servants moving things and searching for the princess. I knew she wasn't there. I turned to my father who to my surprise was talking to Joseph. I haven't heard him come in. I looked around and saw Veronica was no longer in the room. "...be sure the guess are there! This women is the key to finding out what happened to the princess. I will not have her taken or killed! Go now! Get your men to it!" With that Joseph turned on his heals and was gone. I walked, in a daze, to my father. "Where is Joseph going?" "He went to dispatch guards to search for the princess, spies to go undercover and see if there is any information in the towns and to arrange for protection for Veronica until she awakes." I nodded. "Do you need me?" My father shook his head. "I'll be in my room cleaning up if you need me." He nodded and I walked back down the hall to my room. I couldn't believe she was taken. I had been there maybe an hour or two before Veronica's scream. I changed my clothes and splashed water on my face. I was looking out my window when there was nock at my door. I yelled for who ever it was to enter maybe a little to gruffly because the servant who entered looked scared. "My lord, Her Majesty the Queen has ordered I bring u breakfast." I nodded and turned back to the windows.
