Here I say. she takes it slowly. Okay tell me why I should trust you. You got to swear and promise you wont tell anybody. Okay? Okay she says I swear and promise I wont tell anybody.
Have you heard the story of the dark shifting teenage prince named tanner disappearing. Ya I think so she says. Well okay ill just tell you the whole story to you. Once upon a time there was a 9 year old boy named Lukas. Who was devasted because his royal parents died in execution act. So he ran away from the his tribe. Knowing he would be next. He ran ran till he couldn't no more. He found a old mansion with a hole bunch of bats. He had great fear of bats he screamed and the bats surrounded him and he fell in a hole the floor. he hit the ground and vampire with swords came and were about to kill him when some one said stop a lady dressed in red with black hair and blue eye came with a silver black diamond ruby crown. She looked at me with a soft happy smile. She was excited for some reason she recognized my eyes and my royal ring. I was her nephew. My mom who was her sister faked a death because my grandfather wouldn't let her marry my dad who was a shifter. She helped her sister lunaya fake her death. But she knew she would never see her little sister grow up and would never get to see her nephew or nieces. I told her what happened and she took me in as her own but my dad aka uncle was a mean cruel king. He would kill, hurt, punish, etc he killed my aunt-mother for taking me in but left me alive I have to follow in his footsteps. Which I secretly swore not to, to myself. I help the punished and the innocent. So your prince tanner from the dark shifter family. She asks her pretty golden brown eyes glistening. Yes I say. Do you want to stay here until you're healed or do you want me to send you back up to your friends so they don't worry. I say wrapping my finger in her curly hair. She blushes. Ummmm I don't know she says I want to stay with you because you seem lonely but I also want to be with my friends and let them know that im ok they probably think im dead.. I look down. true that's a smart thing to do. I will transport you to your place. I say with a half smile. She gets up and limps. I laugh. What she says. You keep try to walk when you know you cant. You're a determind pretty girl. she looks down shyly. You don't like getting compliments do you? I ask no she says do want to ride on my back or do you want to limp all the way back up there making your ankle worse. She rolls her eyes. fine i'll ride your back. I bend down and she hops on. I walk through my city with my black cloak on. People look at her like whos that. She whisper in my ear why they lookin at me like im weird. We don't get vistors a lot. And by the way your not weird your just new. How do you know that…? She says challenging my answer. Well you don't see weird. I say half laughing half talking. Soon were up above my city. I open a door that is a tree stump which leads to a forest behind the house.

I throw a knife at straight in the middle of the dummy's forhead I stop. I look around no that cant be. Why do I feel her? I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. Kalege? Are you down here? I hear her voice. I run to the stairwell. Princess! I hug her and spin her around. Im so happy your alive not are hurt do you feel okay im not just worried for you because only because you're the last of royal line but… I stop. But what? she says looking into my eyes softly. I put her down. But what? Please tell me. I take a deep breath. I love you… when I first saw you when we were little and my dad was still alive as royal guard. We would always play in the castle courtyard. but I will always remember that day when I was 13 you father invited me to come with you guys to the terencca forest to camp. you were dancing in the flowers with your purple silk dress when I arrived .you asked me do you want to play hide and go seek. With your sweet smile. My dad was one of the high royal. guards with them When the blood bandit ambushed the campsite I remember I couldn't find you so I when I was walking back to the campsite I saw my your dad laying on the ground with a spear in his chest. He called my name and said make sure my little princess is okay and if she is tell her I love her and I want you to be here body guard, her best friend, I knew your father he was a good friend of mine I trust in you kalege of the northern shifting tribe. Go.. go.. go.. take her to safety. I nod and he died right there. I said a quick prayer and I ran as fast I could to you I heard you crying. you were hugging your mom. That broke my heart when I had to pry you from your mother and take you to safety from that point on. And your cried with your face buried in my back of my shoulder. When we were riding back to the castle, I never ever wanted you to get hurt in any way again. I swore to protect you and give you everything you need to be happy.. but that not they only reason why did that for your dad it was also because I loved you. I love your laugh I love your sweet smile, I love the way you are determined, and you such kind pretty girl. I say caressing her cheek. She looks up at me and intertwines her hand with mine. you think that? She says blushing. Ya I really do. I say why you say that. Because I always liked you in the same way. She says. I was taught it was improper to like your bodyguard so I never said anything. She starts to blabber off. I smile and kiss her. Sometimes you need to no when to be quiet miss blabber pants. I say teasingly. she smiles shyly. So wait how did you get out of that hole? Ummm lets just say I made friend that is like me. What you mean I ask. Confused. I met a royal of a different clan. What clan..? I say in a protective tone. Umm I don't know. They live underground. O MY GOD.! HE DEFINATLY GONNA GET IT…YOU FELL INTO THE BLOOD BANDITS. LAYER! WHO.. WHO HELPED YOU GET OUT!

He probably outside the city he must be in the terencca forest. I turn into a bird and I start to fly over the forest. Soon it almost sun down. I haven't found him yet. Shit I say she gonna kill me if I don't find him. About 5 minutes later I hear a scream. Dive quickly into trees. I sit on a branch determining. Where it came from. Then I hear don't hurt me please don't hurt me. down a ways in the forest. I fly to the closet tree to the spot. I see about 6 blood suckers ganging up on mclain. Im about to go in and fight. I jump in front of mclain. Oh you want to fight me you gonna lose little boy. The leader says I turn into bear i growl showing my teeth. oh so your shapeshifter. I killed many of those In my lifetime. …Like your king and queen by the way team I got this one by myself. he laughs evilly. I lounge at him. Angrily. He gets the first hit in my leg with a knife. But I claw him In his arm. You know your not gonna fight that long. Why do you think that? I say with a smart smirk. There was poison coated in the knife. Right then and there I feel dizzy. Oh shit. Kalege! I hear mclain scream in pain. I see the rest of his crew taking on mclain. You said it would only me and you! Oh sorry I did say that I don't rembember. He kicks me I the face. I fall.

Jacob.
Soon we at our underground city im waiting outside the hospital room 17 doors with my fellow bandit members. Why did he care about this girl? so much I start to think. Is he in love?! No not with shapeshifter, our sworn enemy. I quickly peak inside the room. He is holding her hand and moving her bangs to the side. I think she will be okay prince tanner you can go if you want. Umm Ill be back tonight let me know if she gets worse. Thank you nurse peggy. He says No problem prince tanner. He walks out the room. Okay explain to my now. He says in a stern voice.
