Chapter 70- Elnora POV
Finding my way to the coffee pot was easy; the smell drew me to it like a beacon. “Oh, I am so sorry! I was going to have your coffee ready for you when you came out.” Theo looks pained with his discovery of me sipping on my freshly made cup of coffee. “I rather make my own cup when possible, so you did the correct thing.” My words do not change his disposition. “How did you sleep last night?” I push on to get his mind off my coffee. “I slept like a log. I have never slept in a bed that comfortable before. Thank you for allowing me to stay within your residence.” “Thank you for helping keep us safe. It was an honor to have you stay with us.” Lawler chimes in.
I watch in wonder as Theo looks at Lawler in shock. “Sir, I do not know what to say. I have never been given this fo
Chapter 71- Elnora POV“Queen Elnora, it is Sabastian, I have information for you, and it is crucial.” Sabastian is in my head, and I can see what he must be seeing. “It is Sabastian. I am linked into his eyes somehow, and I can see what he sees, hold on.” I state to Lawler and Theo as I sit down hastily where I have stopped walking. Connecting to Sabastian, I ask. “How are you? Are you ok?” “I am safe. I am ok.” “Why can I see where you are?” I ask him, confused. “Your bloodline is what will is assisting with that. For now, while you are tied into me, let me show you what I can.” I watch as he moves papers around and starts telling me tidbits of information. “These papers, this is my plan to get us out of here.” I read a little bit of what he has written before he puts it down and picks up a map. “
Chapter 72- Lawler POV Watching Elnora’s face turn pale as she lost her vision scared the daylight out of me. When she told me it was Sabastian and she could see what he was seeing, that relieved me slightly. Will she get her eyesight back? I ask myself over and over while she is concentrating on Sabastian. Missing vision and seeing through another’s eyes is something I have never heard of before; this is out of my realm of knowledge. I watch as Elnora blinks her eyes open, and I can see she has her sight back. As I observe her, I can tell by the look in her eyes that something else is wrong. “What is happening?” I ask from my seated position next to her. “Well, Sabastian has a plan to get them out. It has a death wish written all over it.” She sighs as she speaks. “Would it work?” I listen as Theo asks such a sim
Chapter 73- LawlerWithin a few minutes, I stand up and gesture that I am ready to go. “He knows all of the defenses in the Kingdom.” I am not expecting a reply when I speak, but I am granted one anyway. “He knows the ways of the Kingdom. He doesn’t know that we aren’t going to do things the way that he would expect you to. We are not going to use any of the strategies that he gave you or any of your successors.” Elnora smiles as she speaks. “What will we do?” Theo asks. “Sabastian’s plan, as good as it may be, is a death wish. I could see the possibility within his plan and came up with one of my own as I read his. He showed me the map of their Kingdom and where everyone is staying. My plan will work. Not only will it work, but it will also guarantee everyone is safe and brought home.” Her words are confident. “How are you so sure?” Theo asks again curiously. “I am going to make
Chapter 74- Elnora POVAfter my coffee this morning, I did the most disgusting thing a human can do; I sat on the toilet and read the journal. I flipped through page after page of the hand scrolled names, addresses, and passwords for each Queen that will be willing to help me in my current situation. My flipping of pages stops abruptly when I see an added note in blue ink that was clearly added well after the book was written. Lifting the book closer to my face, I squint to make out exactly what it says. “If a Witch is needed, find Harmony. She has offered her teachings to any who need it.” Looking over the name and location, I smile instantly. Finding the perfect time to tell Lawler that I found someone to help me I know will be difficult. How does one simply state that they found another witch and that I am going to go get help from them? I question myself as I finish my bathroo
Chapter 75- Elnora POVI can hear Lawler and Theo screaming. It takes me a few moments to regain my sight through the blanket of pain. My arm is torn and bleeding profusely. The creature that did this to me looks much like an upright Labrador retriever with fangs and long talons for fingers. It is advancing on the two of them, and I realize I am the only one who can stop it. I am already injured severely and if I go out protecting them, so be it. Struggling up onto my feet, I can feel my blood loss instantly. I grab a large stick and hold it out in the direction of the creature. “No! Down boy!” I demand. Immediately it turns around, and I have its attention. “Go!” I bark at it again. It lunges at me, and I quickly move from its grip. “You need to go. Go home. Go on now before I have to hurt you.” I am stern with my words, much like telling a stray to go away;
Chapter 76- Elnora POV“What do you mean one saved your life once?” I demand from him, and my crying automatically subsides. “Just as it sounds. Something bad had happened, one of the vampires was attacking me, and it came out and protected me from the vampire.” “So, what is it? A werewolf or something?” “No, nothing like that. They are really just a different breed of dog.” “That is not a breed of dog.” I decline his answer immediately. There is no way that creature was a breed of dog. “Maybe not at home, but here it is. What we once knew about the world has changed drastically already.” “We will talk about this more later.” I insist. He is confident in his words, and it makes me proud beyond measures. “Here we are,” Lawler announces as he returns to the room. “Oh, hello, boys. Did we wake you when w
Chapter 77- Elnora POV“Our Kingdom has been breached.” As expected, they gasp and look at each other, horrified. “We have locked down the Kingdom, and we have swept the Kingdom for anyone who doesn’t belong here. What is more, they took Sebastian.” “What can we do to help?” Hildi asks, stepping forward and giving me the box that I knew was coffee. “I have a plan, and I need your help.” “Anything.” They all mumble. “Once I tell you the plan, I need you to tell me how you would get around it. We need to make sure that there are no loopholes or voids in my plan.” “You want us to tell you what is wrong with your plan?” Leon asks, walking onto the porch with Theo and another man I have not met yet. “Yes, exactly, Leon. I need to know where in my plan others can get through. If you can get through, they can get through. I need you to help me fix this plan so we don’t
Chapter 78- Lawler POVElnora has been explaining her plan in precise detail for the past two hours. My head is beginning to spin from what she has planned. So many steps will need to be taken to insure that it is pulled off, but it looks like it will work. We will be able to save more than just Sabastian. “I am going to make some lunch for everyone. I will be back in a few moments.” I announce to get away and take a pause for a few moments. Never would I have thought that I would be planning the Kingdom’s next move with many townspeople. It is, without a doubt, my biggest mistake that I never knew that I had made. The people who live here love the Kingdom as much, if not more than I do. They are excellent at finding loopholes and assisting in ideas on helping make Elnora’s plan stronger. “Hey, do you have a mo
