THE SWAN PRINCESS 4: THE BANISHED PRINCE

It has two months after Zelda was destroyed, Odette was planning a party for Derek's birthday but she going to make it a surprise party.

"So we need balloons, a chocolate cake with chocolate icing because it's Derek's favorite and-oh" Odette was writing until she saw Derek coming into the room and put the list in her book.

"Odette? What are you doing?" Derek asked as he sat next to her, Odette answered"I was just reading this book why do you ask?"

"I just want to make sure that your okay"

"Why?"

"Because if I let you go anywhere far by yourself, you might get kidnapped, turned into a swan and maybe even killed and I don't want to lose you"

"Oh Derek, you don't need to worry, I don't want to go anywhere without anymore because I don't want you to get hurt from coming to rescue me and anyway there hasn't been any danger in the kingdom for the past two months so why are you worrying so much?" Odette asked and then Derek got a look in his eyes that Odette never saw before.

Derek then told Odette about his father even though he didn't know his father that well "My father King Robert was killed when I was not much older than two years old and when I asked Mother she told me my own older BROTHER killed our father."

"You had a brother, how old was he?" Odette asked with surprise

"Yes I did, his name was Demevek and he was 16 at the time when he was found out of his crime he was banished, it was a really difficult thing to do especially for Mother, I mean he was her son and he murdered his own father and-and the strange thing is that it happened a few days before we went to your father's kingdom because of your birth and the first time I saw you and gave you your locket." When Derek finished he buried his face in his hands.

"Derek, I'm so sorry but I still don't understand what it has to do with you being so worried about me." Odette said with confusion and sadness in her voice then Derek stood up and said "Because I have a feeling and keep having nightmares that he is still out there and wants to kill the rest of his family and I don't want what happened to my father to happen to you."

"You're afraid that your brother that you haven't seen in over fifteen years is going to come back and kill me?" Odette asked, Derek nodded then Odette realized that Derek eyes were a little watery and changed the subject "Well, are you hungry because Fredrick said that dinner would be ready soon, do you want to go the dining room?" Derek quickly answered yes and they left the room for dinner.

Later that night while they were sleeping Derek was tossing and turning

"DEREK, DEREK!"

"Odette is that you where are you"

"RIGHT HERE" said a shadowy figure holding a passed out Odette, his face was not visible "SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR PRECIOUS ODETTE" and he tossed Odette to the floor, Derek ran to her and held her in his arms and kept saying "NO, ODETTE DON'T DIE, I PROMISED TO PROTECT YOU"

The figure created a ball of light hit Odette with it and now it looked like Odette was really dead "NO, NO, NO ODETTE."

"Derek, sweetie calm down, calm down-"

"Derek calm down" Odette kept saying until Derek woke up "Derek what's wrong?"

Derek was panting and then when he saw Odette was safe and sound next to him all he could do was pull her close and kiss her forehead then he was able to tell her "Odette you're alright, I don't know I would do without you"

Odette asked "what do you mean"

"I almost lost you three times but I am not going to let anyone kidnap you ever again" Derek said, obviously still in shock from the nightmare then Odette says "Derek I have to tell you something" (Odette starts singing, this is sort of a sequel song to "Far Longer Than Forever" and it is the same tune)

ODETTE: You saved me from these spells, you saved me from my doom and I am together with you. Derek, I loved you long before I said I do. I love more than ever, I keep you in my heart, it's always like you're here with me even if we're far apart.

DEREK: I love more than ever, I see you in the stars, even when I close my eyes, and I'm where you are.

ODETTE: As soon as the morning brings the sunrise, you gave me an unbreakable vow.

DEREK: And I promise to keep it forever and now. I love you more than ever.

ODETTE: I love you more than ever

DEREK: I swear that I will love you

ODETTE: I swear that I will love you

DEREK/ODETTE: I've made an everlasting vow to always protect you, I love more than ever, more than I have known.

ODETTE: And I'll love you forever.

DEREK/ODETTE: I always have you.

ODETTE: I will love you more than ever.

DEREK: Much longer than forever.

ODETTE: And I will love you forever and ever more.

THE NEXT DAY

"Alright everybody let's get to work, Derek's birthday is in a week and I want everything to be perfect for him Bridget, Puffin, Speed and Jean-Bob your all in charge of decoration, Rogers, you're in charge of music and entertainment, Uberta you're in charge of invitations and Fredrick you're in charge of making the cake and I will make sure Derek stays away from all this." Odette instructed and everyone got to work while Odette went to find Derek, he was in their bedroom looking at a picture of a man who looked liked an older version of Derek except he had brown eyes.

"Derek, is that your father" Odette asked then Derek turned around and his blue eyes met Odette's violet eyes, Derek answered "yes, that's him even though I didn't know him so well he was like my hero."

"Derek do you want to go on a picnic together" Odette asked thinking it might cheer him up, Derek nodded with a faint smile on his face.

A FEW HOURS LATER

"Odette, I have to tell you that nothing will make me let you go far without me" Derek says then Odette asked why he said that then Derek said "It's just like I said before I don't want to lose you. This is so difficult to say it's just-"Derek noticed that the wind started to get stronger and a shadowy figure just like the Derek had seen in his nightmare, held Odette very close to him as she faced away from the figure, it showed the figure had a hood then suddenly took it off and saw a person he hasn't seen in a long, long time.
