This is a re-post guys.
Okay guys and gals, now we're flying blind. This is my continuation of She's No faerie Princess. Only it's going to be called Still Not A Faerie Princess. Same as before I don't own SoN or the rights to it. However the storyline is all mine. If you like, dislike, or just have a suggestion please review and let me know. I've never gone solo so to speak, but I think I can wing it. So, on to the story.
Still A Faerie Princess.
Spencer was following Ashley through the streets of L.A. She was trying to be sneaky about it because she didn't want Ashley to know that she was being followed. Ashley had asked her to stay in the motel room, until she had met up with the Alpha of the Sun Clan Werewolves, it seems they were having a problem with the bloodsuckers roaming the piers at night, and a lot of humans were disappearing.
The Alpha, had called Christine right before she and Ashley got to go to Faerie to visit Spencer's Aunt, to ask for help. Christine decided to send Ashley, an Spencer wasn't going to let her go alone.
Spencer had never seen an ocean before, so Ashley figured they would have a little fun in the sun, and splash around in the ocean. She thought they could relax before she was to meet Paula. Ashley wasn't to sure how Paula was going to take to Spencer being mated to a werewolf.
Ashley wasn't unaware that she was being followed. 'Just for once, Princess, I wish you would listen to me, when I tell you to stay put.' Ashley figured what better time to teach her a lesson. So she took off around a corner and ducked into the nearest alley.
Spencer came around the corner and noticed the people on the sidewalk, but she didn't see Ashley. She started to speed up, as she was passing an alley she was pulled into it and pushed up against the wall. "Why little girl, what are you doing in the big bad city alone?", was husked into her ear.
Spencer turned around to face her attacker. "My what big brown eyes you have."
"Better to see you with."
"What luscious lips you have."
"Better to kiss you with." Ashley leaned forward and pressed her lips to Spencer's.
"Is that all you got?"
Ashley proceeded to push her tongue in Spencer's mouth and released a moan that was swallowed by Spencer. Hands started to roam up and down her back as she pushed her hand up Spencer's shirt and rubbed her thumb over the sensitive nub. Spencer broke the kiss and threw her head back while pushing into Ashley's palm. Ashley slipped her knee in between Spencer's legs and grinded against her.
Ashley was in a fog when she felt something tug on her hair and heard something but she couldn't make it out she was still in a hormone induced haze.
"Hairy mortal mutt, lets Missy Spencer gos." That was when she felt it. Why that little pest bit her on the ear. "I's says lets her go." She cut her eyes to the side and there was Glen all puffed up and tugging on her hair, like he was trying to pull her off. "We's gots company." He started jumping up and down and pointing to the back of the alley.
Ashley smelt it then. Death, decay, putrid stench of one of the undead or almost undead. It wasn't quite dead, but it most certainly wasn't alive either. She saw it huddled in the corner and it seemed to be protecting something.
"Stay here." She growled out before she walked cautiously to the back of the alley. She tried to get it's attention when it turned around clutching a dead rat to it's mouth. It hissed at her and bared it's fangs.
Spencer in the mean time decided to try a small sun spell. She closed her eyes and felt the magic well up inside her. That was when she heard a loud yell and then an angry growl. She opened her eyes and she saw that Ashley had changed and she was squared off against, well she didn't really know what it was. It's skin was hanging off in places and its eyes were blood red. It's fangs were bared as it jumped at Ashley. Spencer didn't have time to think as she threw her spell at it. It hit it in the chest and it looked down at it's chest then up to Spencer then it exploded into chunks of dead flesh and gore.
Ashley didn't know what had happened, one instant she was looking at what she thought was a feral vampire the next she was covered in blood and guts. She wiped her face off with her paw and shifted back to her human form. She looked down at her self and then down at what was left of the body.
"I need to call Christine. That thing wasn't a vampire." She said tersely
"What was it?" asked Spencer.
"I don't know. It shouldn't have blown apart like that. It should have turned to dust."
"I didn't do a big enough spell to dust it. I was just trying to distract it."
"Its went boom." Glen said as he stood between Spencer's legs clapping his little hands in glee.
"It wasn't a vampire" Ashley felt bad that she let herself become distracted and something could have happened to Spencer. "It was wrong some how. I really need to talk to Christine." She pulled her cell phone out and dialed a number. "Don't think I forgot about you not listening." She growled as Spencer drooled while she looked her up and down. Spencer raised her hand and Ashley was dressed in street clothes and cleaned once again. "Thanks."
Spencer smirked and tilted her head.
2.
Ashley pulled the cell phone from her ear and looked at the number. She was sure she had dialed Christine's number but what she heard on the phone wasn't Christine, it was Sean. "Hello. Anyone there?" Sean asked.
"Yeah. It's Ashley. I was calling to give Christine an update, and to tell her what I ran into."
"Oh, I'm holding down the fort until she gets back from the doctors." Sean informed her. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Doctors? Is she okay?" Ashley asked as Spencer looked at her.
"I'm not sure. Raife came in this morning and said that she wasn't feeling well and he asked me to keep an eye on things until they got back. That was a few hours ago, and I haven't heard anything yet."
Sean kept the fact that Christine couldn't keep anything that she ate down for the last couple of days to himself. He didn't want to worry Ashley. And he knew she would drop what ever she was doing to come home and make sure everything was all right.
Christine was telling him that the relations between the Sun Clan and the Silver-back Clan weren't the best and she thought sending Ashley down there to help was the best way to strengthen the bond between the two clans. "Was there anything you needed?"
Ashley explained what they had seen in the alley and Sean said he would ask Chelsea and get back to them. In the mean time she needed to get in touch with the alpha of the Sun Clan at some place called Greys. Sean let Ashley know that the alpha's name was Jesse, and that he was available to meet with them at around 8 pm. All they would have to do is give the guy at the door their names and he would let them in.
"Thanks, Sean, if you hear anything let me know?"
"Sure thing."
######################################################################
Spencer was in the bathroom getting dressed and Ashley was waiting on her. Glen was watching TV and running around the bed like a three year old on a candy high. Periodically he would stop poke Ashley and run away laughing at her. About the third time Ashley was ready for him.
She had her hand behind her head and the other hand was under her jacket. She waited for Glen to sneak up beside her then she flipped her jacket over him and scooped him up and twirled him around and tied the arms together, "Lef me ouf of fere." Glen mumbled. Ashley rattled the jacket and then stuck him under the bed. "That will teach you."
She was just settling back on the bed when Spencer came out of the bathroom.
"Is that what you're wearing?"
Ashley looked down at herself. She didn't think she looked bad. She had on skinny ripped jeans a muscle shirt and a vest. "What's wrong with it?"
"Nothing," Spencer said as she walked up to her and traced her finger up Ashley's stomach up her neck and to her ear and leaned in and husked "I don't think I will be able to keep my hands off of you."
"Well, duh. That's the point." Ashley smirked.
"Ready?" Ashley asked as she jumped up from the bed. "Sure, where's Glen?" asked Spencer.
"He's around somewhere." Ashley grabs Spencer's hand and tugs her to the door. "Let's go we're going to late."
"mmmm...mmicess..."
Spencer stops and looks back in the room. "Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Asked Ashley innocently.
"mmm...mmreath..."
"That."
Spencer starts looking around, walking around the room. "It sounds like it's coming from under the bed. She kneels down and looks under the bed and pulls out Ashley's coat. "What's this doing under here?"
"I was looking for that." Ashley says as she reaches for it.
About that time it starts to wiggle and Spencer screams and drops it on the bed as she falls over backwards trying to get away from it.
"mmm...I's,,,,,,mmmmere."
Ashley catches Spencer before she hits the floor. Spencer straightens up and crosses her arms and quirks an eyebrow at Ashley.
"He wouldn't leave me alone." Ashley says defensively.
Spencer walks over to the bed and unravels the jacket and there is Glen on his back cheeks puffed out and sweating taking big gulps of air. "Mongrels girl tries.. to kills me." Says Glen as he tries to catch his breath.
Spencer turned and glared at Ashley.
"I did not." She growled at him. "I was only trying to teach him a lesson."
Glen sits up on his elbows and sticks his tongue out at Ashley. Spencer can't see him but she knows he's doing something by the way Ashley is looking at him.
"Glen, stop it." Spencer reprimanded him.
Glen drops back down as Spencer turns around. "I's not do nothing to big hairy girl."
"So your telling me, she did this to you for no reason?"
"Yes."
"You didn't hit her?"
Glen looked everywhere but at Spencer.
"Well?"
"Buts she fun. She turns reds and I's like to play games with big hairy dog girls."
"She likes to play games with you to. Right Ashley?" Spencer glanced at Ashley and cut her eyes to Glen who had started to pout.
"Ya, sure." Ashley said, then she mumbled. "Pin the tail to the wall."
She didn't think she had said it loud enough for anyone to hear but she thought wrong as Spencer reached over and pinched her on the but.
"Hey, what was that for?"
"Felt like it."
Spencer grabbed her hand and led her out the door. Ashley glanced back and Glen had already made himself comfortable on the bed in the middle of her pillow watching TV.
3.
Here we are outside the club, there's a long line to get in and we're bypassing them walking up to the bouncer. We get a few hateful looks and others appraise us with their eyes while trying to get our attention, we ignore them for the most part, but every now and then you get a brave soul who takes their life in their hands and they reach out to touch. Ashley takes care of them by showing her fangs and growling low and if that doesn't work she takes the offending appendage and twist it up behind their back, bringing them to their knees until they apologize. Lucky for us she only had to do it once and then everyone else took the hint and averted their eyes as we passed the rest of the way to the door.
"I'm Ashley and we're here to see Jesse." Ashley says talking to the doorman. He looks her up and down and I can't help it I growl a little. Ashley looks to me and winks. She reaches up to brush my hair aside on my neck and she rubs her mark. My eyes close and my insides turn to mush. My cheeks turn crimson when I open my eyes and I see the doorman has taken a step back and Ashley has a smirk on her face.
"Please follow me." He's keeping a respectable distance as he leads us to the back of the club.
Ashley has her arm around my waist leading me through the club. We stop at a rope and another guy comes up and the bouncer leans over so he can talk to him. The second guy walks away to a table in the back and then waves to the bouncer who opens the ropes a gestures for us to go in.
We walk through the opening and the bouncer latches the rope back, but doesn't come in with us. Ashley looks at him and raises a eyebrow in question. "Just walk to that table over in the back and take a seat and someone will be with you shortly." he says.
We walk back to the table and there's nobody there. We take a seat and Ashley gets as close to me as she can without sitting in my lap. A waitress walks up and sets two drinks down in front of us.
Let me tell you, I can hold my liquor, but what ever that was it was strong. Ashley picked it up and sniffed it and then proceeded to take small sips. Faerie wine is usually stronger then anything you find here and I can drink it like a fish in water, but this was hitting me hard and fast. I started getting all touchy feely with Ashley. I was hoping she didn't notice.
Ashley looked at me and smiled that crooked smile of hers. Ya, she noticed and I think several other people noticed as well.
I was getting hot. I wanted to take my clothes off and have my wild wicked way with her. I don't think she would mind. Right now I have my hand on her thigh and I'm inching my way up. I'm looking around and nobody seems to notice what I'm doing. Just as I'm about to reach my goal a very tall man with white locks walks up, and introduces him self.
"Hi, I'm Jesse, Alpha of the Sun Clan." He looks at Ashley and then smirks at me.
#######################################################
Spencer is so wasted. I didn't think she had drank that much, but I guess I should have warned her that it was a were concoction she was drinking. I thought she told me she could hold her liquor. 'Ohhh, hand, gotta watch her hands.'
Spencer's eyes are a little glassy and she's looking around like she's trying to figure out where they are at. Jesse introduces him self and then smirks at Spencer.
Ashley stands up to her full height and thrust out her hand for Jesse to shake. "I'm Ashley and this is my mate, Spencer."
"I wish I could say it was nice to meet you, but seeing as your from a different clan and all..." He lets it slide.
"Ya, about that. You did call and ask for our help. Did you not?"
"Sorry, yes I did."
Ashley sits back down by Spencer, and Spencer puts her hand back on her thigh, and moving it slowly upwards.
"Well, what seems to be the problem?" Ashley asks just about the time Spencer reaches her goal and she lets out a breath.
Jesse looks at her and then he looks at Spencer. "Is she all right?"
Ashley swallows and she grabs Spencer's hand. "I think the drink was to strong for her."
Jesse smirks and orders two more drinks and a glass of water. He gives one to Ashley and he takes the other, and gives the glass of water to Spencer.
"No fair, I want a drink." Spencer pouts at Ashley.
Ashley lets her have a sip of her drink.
"Mmmmmmmm, that's... ." hiccup "...good." Spencer says as she leans her head on Ashley's shoulder, she starts to snore and drools a little on her shoulder.
Jesse smirks and asks. "Do you think she can make it to the office?"
"If not I'll carry her." Ashley stands up and reaches for Spencer's hand. "I don't wanna." Spencer whines. "I wanna listen to the music." She says as she pulls away from Ashley.
"She can stay here if she wants. I'll have some of my people keep an eye on her, if that's alright with you?" Jesse asks Ashley.
"No, that's all right. Where I go she goes." Ashley sits back down and says something in Spencer's ear.
Spencer's looks at Ashley and says. "What are you waiting for? Let's get this meeting over with." She pushes Ashley off the bench and stands up, or at least tries to stand up. Ashley puts her hand on her back to steady her.
Spencer leans back into Ashley and says in a loud whisper. "Come on lets get this show on the road, you promised I could have my favorite desert which just so happens to be Ashley ala mode."
Jesse chokes back a laugh as Ashley turns red and glares at him.
Jesse straightens up and leads the way through the crowd to the back office.
As they are going through the door the hair on the back of Ashley's neck stands up. She stops and takes a look around. Nobody seems to be looking at her so she hurries to catch up to Jesse.
######################################################################
"It's about time they got here." The figure in the dark corner thought, just as Ashley looked around the club. "This isn't good. She felt me, or at least it looked like she felt me. What's the mistress going to say?"
The figure in the corner of the club shuffled out of his seat and left the club, but stayed in the shadows so that no one would notice him.
4.
Spencer passed out as soon as she sat on the sofa in the office. Jesse was gracious enough not to say anything about her cute little snoring. Don't tell her that she snores, she hates that almost as much as being called Princess.
Jesse is sitting on his desk with his hands in his lap. He's explaining what has been going on here in L.A.
"People have been disappearing around here for the last two weeks, and we can't afford something going wrong this early with the talks about to be signed." He stated, "And the humans have been sniffing around. It has been making it hard to keep a low profile."
"Do you know how many people have disappeared?" Ashley asked.
"Well yes, we have heard that a total of 23 humans and 5 Others. We don't have anyone at the morgue here like you do in Manhattan, but Christine said she was going to have someone transferred here from your town."
"Do you know who?"
"Yeah, someone named Kyla Woods. Do you know her?"
"Yes, she's good at what she does. She was very helpful with the last case, she found some clues that we didn't catch and then she helped Adam at the morgue at home."
"Well, yes that's what I heard." Jesse said as he looked away from Ashley. "She mentioned that she would like to move out this way, and I invited her out to dinner when she gets here, if you would like to join us. We could discuss all that we know with her and bring her up to speed."
"You've already spoken to her?"
"Yes, as it so happens we are e-mail buddies. We met on-line." He looked at her. "She told me all about her home life and her over protective sister."
"She doesn't tell a lot of people that. She must really like you." She smirked at him.
Jesse blushed and looked down at his hands. "Well, yes I would hope she does like me seeing as she wants to move out here and try to make a go of it."
"What do you mean make a go of it?"
"Us."
"What us?"
"Myself and Kyla."
"There is no you and Kyla until I have a talk with her and she tells me all about you and then I put you down and then she talks you up and then I reluctantly agree for her to date you. That's the way it works with over protective sisters." Ashley said while she was smirking.
Spencer opened her one eye and looked towards Ashley. "Sister? What sister?"
Ashley looks at Spencer like a kid that got caught putting their hand in the cookie jar. "Didn't I tell you I have a sister? Well at least a half sister."
"No."
"Well it must have been because of all the excitement, or I could have just forgot to mention it."
"Who is it?"
"Oh, you've already met actually."
"I did?"
"Yes you did. It's Kyla Woods."
"Kyla, the morgue specialist?"
"Yes."
"Well who else are you related to that I already met and know nothing of it?"
"Actually can we have this talk later in private?" Ashley says as she looks towards Jesse.
Spencer rubs her head with her hand and closes her eyes. "I think that would be better. It seems that I have a party of imps dancing around in my head." She said as she leaned back into the couch and started snoring again.
"That's our cue to leave. It was nice meeting you Jesse, and if I don't see you again please let Kyla know that it wasn't your fault."
"My fault? What are you talking about?"
"Yes, if Spencer kills me because of the way she found out about Kyla."
"Wait, how is that my fault?"
"It just is, but like I said, tell her I don't blame you and neither should she."
Jesse just sat there sputtering as Ashley picked Spencer up and left the club. She caught a cab and returned to the hotel room.
##################################################################
"Did the potion work?"
"Yes, mistress. It seemed to work."
"Seemed to work. Didn't you wait and see?"
"No mistress, the dark one sensed me and I thought it best to get out of there."
"You don't think, I think and then tell you what to do."
"Yes mistress." says the thing as it prostrates itself in front of his mistress.
The mistress raises her hand and a fireball forms and she throws it at the creature on his knees in front of her. It blows to pieces and she creates another fire ball and turns it into dust and creates a mess.
She looks back at the person at the door.
"Clean this up."
"Yes mistress."
5.
Ashley carried Spencer into the hotel room. She laid her down on her side of the bed and brushed her hair out of her face and leaned over and kissed her on the head. She takes off her shoes and tucks her in.
She goes to her side and sees Glen passed out in the middle of her pillow with food crumbs and a little cup of some kind of liquid. She leans over and she places her face right up next to Glens and bares her teeth and growls lowly while shaking the pillow.
Glen wakes up with a start and throws the liquid in Ashley's face.
"Bad mongrels, looks what you dids."
Ashley wipes her face with her hand and glares at Glen. "What I did?" She grabs the pillow and folds it over in half on top of Glen and rushes to the bathroom. She turns the shower on and shoves the pillow under the stream of cold water.
"Bbbbbad, bbbbad, bbbbbad, mmmmmongrels." Glen stutters while waving his hands trying to get the water to stop hitting him in the face.
Ashley starts to feel sorry for the little guy and brings him out of the shower. Just as she was about to set him down he looks at her and a stream of water shoots from his mouth onto her. She drops him pillow and all in the sink and reaches for a hand towel, and a wash cloth. "Truce?" she asks as she hands him a washcloth to dry off on. The whole time he's grumbling under his breath, when he's done he looks at her and nods his head yes.
Ashley leaves him to it and goes back into the bedroom and takes off her clothes and puts on shorts and a T.
Glen comes out of the bathroom still grumbling under his breath and goes to an open dresser drawer and climbs up and snuggles in the pillow that Spencer had put in there for him to sleep on.
Ashley goes to bed and lays down and her head hits the mattress. She starts to grumble under her breath when Glen starts to giggle. "Look what mongrels did. She no have a pillow to sleep o..."
Before Glen could finish his sentence Ashley took his pillow off under him and returned back to the bed and proceeded to go to sleep.
##########################################################
Spencer is awake before Ashley and she gets dressed and goes down to the coffee shop and gets them both a cup of coffee. She heads back to the room and notices that Glen is asleep in Ashley's clothes. She wakes him up gently.
"Hey, you time to get up."
"Imp's no need to get up with the sun." Glen turns back over and goes back to sleep pulling Ashley's clothes tighter around him.
"Glen, I need you to do me a favor."
"Whats Princess, needs. I dos." Glen sits up wiping his eyes then he yawns and stretches.
"I need you to see what you can find out about that thing we saw in the alley. I need to know if that's what we're up against or if it's something else. I need you to find out what it was and if there's a way to get rid of them without anyone getting hurt or if that fails can you see if you can find where they are from?"
Glen looks at Spencer with a scrunched up for head. "Missy Spencer, no ask the easy things."
He looks around the room and notices Ashley still asleep. He gets up when Spencer has her back to him heading to the bathroom. He jumps out of the dresser and races over to the bed and grabs on to the sheet and climbs up. He sneaks across the sheet towards Ashley's head just as he's about to holler he's picked up by the scruff of his neck and he's facing an unhappy Spencer.
"What do you think your doing?" She hisses at him.
He puts on an innocent face and shrugs his shoulders. "Nothings."
"That didn't look like nothing." She stated as she carries him to the door "Please just see if you can find anything out." She sets him down and opens the door to make sure its clear. "Be safe."
"Always is." Glen darts away in a blur.
Spencer shakes her head and walks back into the bathroom to take a shower. When she opens the curtain she sees a soaked pillow. "Adolescents, I'm living with adolescent little children." She picks up the pillow and tosses it into the sink and turns on the shower.
#################################################################
Ashley wakes up and hears the shower running. She gets up and goes to the bathroom undressing on the way.
She sneaks in the shower and runs her hands around Spencer's waist one hand goes up while the other hand goes south. She nuzzles Spencer's neck and purrs in the back of her throat.
Spencer leans back into Ashley with a deep moan. Ashley nips her shoulder. Spencer pushes her backside into Ashley and wiggles it around. Ashley moans and slips her hand to cup Spencer possessively and slips a finger in gently moving it in and out, then she twist her wrist to rub over the nub with her thumb.
It took every ounce of energy Spencer had to remain standing and it didn't hurt that Ashley had a hold of her to keep her upright. Ashley withdraws her hand and Spencer lets out a frustrated growl. She turns Spencer around and pushes her up against the wall while pulling her legs around her waist. She begins to feast on Spencer chest, neck, abdomen, and lips. She slips her hand down in between them and glides her hand through the moisture, she separates the lips and slips two fingers inside and sets a fast pace.
Spencer throws her head back and lets out high pitched scream as she comes. Ashley removes her hand and with a smirk she licks each finger clean and turns of the water and carries Spencer into the bedroom and lays her on the bed. She follows her down and kisses her. At her urging Spencer loosens her hold on her and Ashley slides down her body and takes a nipple in her mouth.
Spencer is running her fingers through Ashley's hair and humming, when Ashley switches to the other breast Spencer forces her up for a deep passionate kiss. When they both were strung tight and ready to come she pushes Ashley onto her back and slithers down her body teasing her nipples as she goes and stops to admire her naval.
By this time Ashley is squirming all over the place, she didn't even realize when she lost control and Spencer took over.
Spencer reaches her destination and she inhales while Ashley keeps trying to lift her hips to her. Spencer pushes her hips back down and she parts the lips with a finger a drags it through the moisture. She looks up into Ashley's eyes as she puts it into her mouth and sucks. Ashley's head slams back into the mattress as she groans.
Spencer takes a long slow swipe with her tongue and smiles up at Ashley then she continues to feast.
############################################################
They woke up for the second time that day together and smiling. Ashley leans over and kisses Spencer on the lips.
Spencer gets up and puts some clothes on. She looks back at Ashley and says "We need to talk."
Ashley doesn't say anything at first not because she doesn't want to but because she trying to get her brain back in gear. Honestly she didn't hear what Spencer said she was to busy watching her getting dressed and having bad thoughts.
"Well, I'm waiting."
"Waiting?"
"Yes. Who's your sister?" Spencer says as she is standing beside the bed. "You always said the pack was your family? I didn't know you had real family... Wait that didn't come out right."
"It's alright, I know what you meant. In all honesty I wasn't hiding it from you, we have just been thru a lot."
Ashley gets up and gets dressed. She sits back down on the bed and scoots up to the headboard to lean against it and pats the mattress for Spencer to join her.
"It's a little complicated." She glances at Spencer and Spencer has an eyebrow arched. "Okay, yes the pack is like a family, but my family is the pack. My parents and sister and brothers are all in the pack. In fact the entire pack is almost all related in some way, if not by family then by marriage."
"Alright, but who are your parents and siblings?"
"You've actually already met them."
"What? Why didn't you tell me?"
"We had a lot on our plate at the time and I was more interested in keeping us alive then introducing family."
"What about when it was all over? Don't you think they would want to meet your mate? Do some kind of ceremony?"
"They already knew before we did. They love you. It was a little rocky start but once we got past that they loved you. As for the mate thing," Ashley pushes back Spencer's hair and glides her finger across her mark. "This right here is all they need to know. There is no ceremony unless you would like one. Would you like one?"
"We might have to get one in Faerie. Would you mind? We could invite your family to, that is if they want to. Being a High Fae, means making a show for all to see. They may not believe love is for ever, but they like any reason to party, and drink." Spencer giggles. "Now finish."
"Yes mam." Ashley clears her throat. "Christine is my moth..."
"Christine,as in Alpha Christine is your mother. Is that why she growled at me all the time?"
"Yes Alpha Christine is my mother. No and yes. She's very protective of her cubs. She still hasn't gotten the memo that I'm an adult, but she's working on it. She didn't want me to be hurt, but she also didn't want to ruin what relations we have with Faerie, as they may be, if this didn't work out. You've heard I was a player, she was worried I would do something to mess it up."
Ashley rubs her hands together in front of her and Spencer reaches for them and holds them in hers.
"I don't care if you were a player. If you want to be technical I was more of a player than you. After all I've been around a lot longer then you."
"I keep forgetting that." Ashley said. "I wonder how many she has sle..."
"Stop right there. Don't even think it. It doesn't matter. I'm here with you and I love you and I didn't love them. That's all that matters." She takes a breath. "Now finish."
"Raife is my father and Kyla is my half sister."
"I always thought Christine and Raife were so in love."
"They are. They just lost contact for awhile."
"What? How?"
"If you would just let me finish."
Spencer kisses Ashley on the cheek. "Yes please continue."
"Were was I? Christine went away for college in L.A. There she met a young struggling musician and she fell in love. Raife didn't know that Christine was a Were, so she never marked him, she kept that part of her self restrained. They dated for about six months when Raife's band was offered a recording contract and they would have to go on a two year tour. Christine was heartbroken she couldn't go along, her family needed her at home to learn to run the family business. They decided to stay in contact thru letters and phone calls. About two months after he left Christine found out she was pregnant. She didn't want to worry Raife so she didn't tell him. The letters stopped coming and the phone calls stopped as well. It broke Christine's heart, but her father told her to get over it, that she needed to grow up after all she got herself in this predicament and she needed to fix it herself. She was kicked out of her house when she started showing. She had no where to go..."
##################################################################
"Is the master in?"
"No"
"Will you let the master know that the imp left the hotel room?"
"Are the girls still there?"
"Yes."
"Can you see them?"
"No."
There is a scuffling then he hears the person on the phone come back.
"The mistress says when they leave that she wants the room bugged as well as a camera put in there somewhere where they won't find it."
"Yes, I will get right on that."
There's another scuffling as the phone is exchanging hands. "Don't fuck it up or I'll have to terminate you as I did your friend."
"Yes mistress." The phone is slammed down. The being looks at it then hangs it up as he steps out of the phone booth, and walks back into the shadows to keep an eye on the hotel room. He doesn't want to mess up, he doesn't like the mistress but he is compelled to do what she says as well as the master, no matter what. His very survival rest on that very fact.
ch.6
"She was kicked out of her house when she started showing. She had no where to go, her mother was taking care of business with the pack so she didn't know what was happening at home. You see her father wasn't a were, he was a human. Her mother was a were and understood family and pack so when she got home she went out looking for Christine and couldn't find her. She left her husband who wasn't her soul mate he was just someone her father thought would make a good match for her. In other words he was rich. Her true mate or soul mate died when Christine was five.
She asked the council to be on the look out for her daughter that she was out in the human world alone and needed all the help she could get. They looked, but they didn't find her until three years later. By then she had a life with her own pack of misfits and a two year old daughter. She didn't care if they were Were or Others or human as long as you were loyal to each other.
They were coming up in the Other community. The pack had a older were that looked after them and helped them navigate the Other community and they took it to a whole new level. Like I said they took all Were's, Other's, and Human's.
Well I guess I should say they took in human's that had magical abilities and already knew about the existence of the others. That's when Chelsea and her family joined the pack as well as Aiden's, and Madison's family joined as well. You could say Aiden and Madison and myself were joined at the hip from that moment on. If one of us got in trouble we all got in trouble. Carmen's family didn't join until a few years later.
When I was eight Christine challenged the Alpha of the main Were pack in the city because he was trying to start a turf war with her pack. Christine had already made a name for herself and her pack and the council of Others took notice and sent a young Sean to investigate the pack. He reported back that they didn't start the problems with the other pack, and he felt all interest would be served if he stayed here to help with the differences. The elders of the Others agreed and so he stayed and fell in love with a fifteen year old human witch in training Chelsea, but that's another story.
Like I said she challenged the Alpha and she won. She combined both packs and created one of the largest packs on the east coast. Everyone started to notice and if they needed help they called and asked Christine. The Others started depending more and more on her and if they needed something done they asked Christine. They asked her opinion and what she would do."
Ashley took a deep breath and rubbed her hands together. Spencer grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers. "It's okay, would you like to take a break?"
"No, I need to get the rest of this out so you don't think I'm keeping anything from you."
"I know your not keeping anything from me, I just thought you might want to get something to eat."
At that moment in time Spencer's stomach growled. Ashley looked at Spencer and smirked. "I thought you ate already."
"Smart mouth." Spencer smacks Ashley's arm.
###########################################################
They ordered room service and Ashley continued her story.
"So where was I?"
"Christine just took over and the Others in the council was asking her advice on things."
Ashley leaned forward and kissed Spencer on the lips. "Thanks."
"When I was twelve Aiden, Madison, and I guess in retrospect Carmen snuck out of our houses and went to a concert. At this concert I met a ten year old girl and we hit it off. She invited us back stage to meet her father who just so happened to be the lead vocalist for the group. I was in awe. There was so much going on back there. It's like a whole nother world. There was so much activity. We were ushered into Raife's dressing room and we listened to some music and danced around having fun. Aiden the big ass hat that he is bumped into a table and it collapsed breaking all the glasses on it, needless to say I slipped in some punch and fell and cut my hand. Raife rushed me to the hospital while Aiden called my mother and told her where we were at.
Kyla and her dad stayed with me the entire time, until my mother came into the room. Then Christine and Raife both looked like they had seen a ghost. It was a little awkward, but the next moment they were hugging like long lost cousins or something. Kyla looked at me and I looked at her and we both shrugged. I mean come on, it's parents you know they can act so weird sometimes."
Ashley gets up and starts pacing around the room. "I got twenty-two stitches that night as well as a father and a sister. I just didn't know it at the time. We went out for ice cream and either Kyla or myself hung out with each other all the time. So our parents got to hang out together as well. After about a month of dating on the side both parents came to us sat us down and explained what was going on.
Raife dabbled in magic and he was married at one time to a Romanian Were. Which is how Kayla is a Were. Anyways she died when Kyla was three and they moved to L.A. Raife didn't know anyone here that was a Were and to protect Kyla he cast a spell so that no one would know that she wasn't human.
Raife was shocked to find out that I was his daughter and wanted to know why Christine never told him. She said she was going to and that she didn't find out until he stopped calling and writing to her. He said he never stopped even when he was threatened by her father, and all his mail was returned with no forwarding address. Then about three months later he got a letter back with deceased written across it. He turned to alcohol as well as drugs. He met his first wife in a back room of a bar. They didn't really like each other but stayed together for Kyla's sake. She died in a drug overdose.
Christine and Raife sat down and said that they would like a chance to get to know each other again as well as us kids.
Needles to say they were married six months later and they are very much still in love. The twins were a little late life surprise, but I don't think they mind it one bit. After all they have two free babysitters so that they can go out when ever they want."
"I don't know what to say. Was he shocked to find out that Christine was a Were?"
"Yes, I would say he was shocked. He found out that first month they were to together. Let's just say they went to bed as two humans and woke up one Were and one marked and very satisfied man." Ashley sniggered. "But that's their story to tell."
"I need to get in contact with Christine can you see if you can reach Glen and see if he found out anything yet?"
Ashley takes out her cell phone and dials Christine.
################################################################
"Has the imp returned yet?"
"No."
"No what?"
"No, Mistress."
"That's better. Do you know what Spencer and that dog were up to in the room?"
"No, Mistress."
"I bet I can. That beast had her hands all over what is mine." At that the figure hears something breaking in the background. "You need to get rid of that...that animal as soon as possible."
"I can't risk a war with Christine's pack as well as the Others."
"Christine is being taken care of. She won't have the time to start a war."
The figure looks at the phone as the other phone is being slammed down.
ch.7
'I need to warn them somehow. But how?' The person in the shadows was saying to himself as he was walking around in circles to busy to see the blur stop in front of the hotel door, and the door open to let Glen in.
'The master will kill me and destroy all I hold dear.'
He continued to walk in circles trying to figure out what to do.
##############################################################
"Glen, where have you been." Ashley asked.
"Missy Spencer, told mes to get some demon newses." Glen replied with his nose in the air.
"What did you find out." she asked, as she pointed a stare at him.
Glen ignored her looking around for Spencer. "She's in the bathroom."
"I's thinks I's wait for her."
"Why you little..."
"You little what?" Spencer asked as she came out of the bathroom.
"Imp, I was gonna say imp." Ashley said as she looked to Spencer with her puppy dog eyes.
"Okay Glen, out with it. What did you find out." Spencer asked sweetly.
Glen stuck his tongue out at Ashley as he answered. "Well the demons dont's knows whats going on's." he said as he shook his little head. "Buts theys don't likes it. Theys getting blamed again for something someone elses doings."
"Do you think they would be willing to help us out with this problem." Ashley asked.
"They still holding grudges. I's had to be sneaking to find out what I's heard. I's dont's think theys will help."
At that time Spencer's bag began to glow. "I bet it's Aunt Paula."
"Let's hope she is in a good mood. I know she really wanted us to come and visit." Ashley said. 'I'm just not sure I'm ready for that.' Ashley's cell started to ring. She picked it up. "Hello?"
#################################################
"Hey, Ashley. I was wondering if you could use some help? I'd like to get Madison out of Manhattan and I think the sun in Old Cali would do her some good. What do you think?"
"Aiden?"
"Ya."
"Well, I guess we could use some help. You know Kyla's coming here?"
"Sure do. Where do you think I got the idea from? Besides Madison misses the California sun and beaches. Don't forget she was born there. And I think it would help get her mind off of Carmen."
Ashley looked towards Spencer who was sitting on the bed looking into a mirror and she looked like she had seen a ghost she was deathly white and she was gripping the mirror in a death grip.
"Aiden what ever you decide will be okay, I gotta go." She hung up before he could answer.
She went and pried the mirror out of Spencer's fingers and that was when she noticed Glen sitting on Spencer's shoulder just as white. "Hey, your scaring me here. What's going on?"
Spencer looked at Ashley and her lip started to tremble and tears started pouring down her cheeks. She grabbed Ashley and started crying. Ashley encircled her with her arms and hung on for dear life. She whispered in her ear that every thing was going to be alright, even though she didn't know what was going on. They sat like that for what felt like hours with Ashley holding on and Spencer crying. Every time she would start to stop she would just cry some more. Even Glen was looking lost and just patting Spencer on the head. He looked towards Ashley and he shook his little head. He jumped to her shoulder and leaned against her head trying to hug her, and he started to cry to. "I's no wants to go homes. Please can I's stay heres'es with yous?"
"Home? You mean Manhattan?"
"No." sniffed Spencer. "That was the High Council of Faerie. They are bringing charges up against me and the pack for killing Uncle Arthur."
"They can't do that." Ashley looked at Spencer. "Can they?"
"They can and they did." Spencer started to cry again. "And that's not all. I have to go back to Faerie till this is over."
"I won't let you. Let them come and try and take you away." She snarled as she started to shake with fury. "I'll show them what a pissed off Were can do. I'll do something I just don't know what I'll do, but I'll do something you just wait and see." Ashley started pacing.
"That's not all." Spencer said.
"What do you mean that's not all?" Ashley asked as she stopped in the middle of the room.
"They have Aunt Paula in custody as well and they said they put a spell on Christine so that she would have to come to Faerie to answer for the crime of killing a royal Sidhe."
"What kind of spell." Ashley growled.
"I don't know. They didn't say. But you talked to her today did she seem different?"
"I didn't talk to her. Sean has been fielding her calls. He said she was out of the office with Raife at the doctors... I think I better call again and see what is going on."
Ashley started dialing the office when a bright light appeared in the middle of the room blinding them all. When they could see again a young woman stood in the middle of the room and she was smiling at Spencer.
"Kelly?"
##################################################################
Meanwhile across the street the person in the shadows saw the bright light through the curtain of the room and decided he better call it in.
"Hello, is the master in?"
"No, would you like to leave a message."
"Can you let the master know that something is going on in the room. I saw a bright light."
"What kind of light?"
"It was bright enough that I could see it through the curtains of the hotel room."
"You don't know what it was for?"
"No."
"Well I suggest you find out before the master asks." They hung up the phone.
"How the hell am I suppose to find that out. I can't see through walls." he said as he talked to himself.
Ch. 8
"Kelly?"
"Yes" She replies as she smirks at Spencer.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Spencer says as she raises her voice. "I thought I told you to stay away from me."
Kelly looks Spencer up and down and replies, "You did, and the council wanted me to escort you home. So here I am. I figured I'd be safe with you not having your powers at the moment."
"What do you mean I don't have my powers?" Spencer looks at her like she lost her mind. She tries to cast a spell, but it won't work. Just about that time Kelly reaches out to grab a hold of Spencer, when there's a low dangerous growl and she is ripped away from Spencer and spun away from her. Standing between them is Ashley in her Were form.
"What the fuck? Are you hanging around mutts now? I heard you were laying with dogs, but I didn't believe it. Remove yourself. This is a royal matter and does not concern you." Kelly said with her nose in the air as she flung her hand and Ashley was thrown against the wall.
"Stop!" yelled Spencer as she put herself between the two. "Ashley, please" she says with pleading eyes. "We need to talk to her. Find out what is going on."
"She tried to touch you." Ashley growled as she was leaning against the wall. "She has power when she shouldn't have. Not here in the mortal realm. Why? How did she know you didn't have your powers?"
"All good questions, I assure you. But I don't have the time or the patience to answer your questions." Kelly looked towards Spencer. "We need to go."
"No." Spencer and Ashley said at the same time. Ashley walked to Spencer's side and put her arm around her and brought her closer to her side, as if saying go through me.
Kelly looked at them both "Alright, let's talk, but you need to change" She said as she looked at Ashley. " I don't talk to dogs."
Spencer looked up at Ashley and into her brown eyes and nodded her head. Ashley transformed back into her human form.
"Well if all mutts look like you, I can see why you caught Spencer's fancy." Kelly said as she ogled Ashley.
Spencer shot her a dirty look and Kelly raised her hands up as she turned around.
As Ashley was getting dressed Kelly was looking around the hotel room, she walked towards the bathroom and a mirror. She could see Ashley getting dressed and Spencer buttoning up her shirt. Spencer leaned forward and kissed Ashley. Kelly got an angry look on her face. Glen saw it and he kicked Kelly in the ankle. She glanced down and picked him up by the collar of his shirt. She had an evil glint in her eye as she looked at him. He was to frightened to say anything. He started to shake as she smirked at him. She looked back to the mirror to see if anyone was watching her. She blew on him and he turned blue and then disappeared. She smiled as she looked around.
######################################################################
"This better be good." said the voice on the phone.
"There was a commotion in the hotel room, and I thought I better call it in."
"Yes, yes that was the smart thing to do...Did you see anything other then the bright light?"
"Yes."
"YES WHAT?"
"Yes...master."
"Better. Well?"
"There seems to be another person in the room with them. A Girl."
"Can you tell who?"
"No master."
"I suggest you find out."
"Yes master." The figure hung up the phone, and decided to get a closer look through the window of the room. But all he saw was the back of the girl in the room. 'Looks kinda of familiar.'
################################################################
"You can turn around now." Spencer said.
Kelly turned around and she had a straight face. She started towards Spencer and Ashley.
Ashley put herself between the two and growled at Kelly as her eyes turned red. "Well, whats this? Do you still want to play little doggie?"
Ashley showed her teeth as they elongated. "Ashley, she's just trying to get to you." Spencer said as she laid her hand on Ashley's arm. Ashley shook her head and her eyes turned a dark brown and her teeth went back to normal.
Ashley leaned towards Spencer. "I can't help it. She sets my hackles on end."
"I know the feeling." said Spencer just loud enough for Ashley to hear. "Can we just sit down and find out what is going on? Please?"
Ashley walked to the only table in the room and pulled Spencer into her lap. Spencer snuggled in as Ashley put her arms around her and kissed her on her mark, so that Kelly could see her claim on Spencer. "Now we can talk." Ashley said as she looked towards Kelly and gestured to the other chair.
Kelly hiked her eyebrow and looked at Spencer's neck. "You let her mark you? Surly not."
"It's a mating ritual and we are mated." Ashley snarled.
Spencer rubbed her hands up and down Ashley's arms trying to calm her down, as Kelly snickered. "So now you think your mated to a Fae. Not only a Fae but a Princess. Not only a Princess, but the first in line to the throne of The Summer Court, and my intended."
"What!" Ashley yelled.
.9
"What!" Ashley yelled as she jumped from the chair dumping Spencer on the floor.
Spencer yelped as she hit the floor. Ashley looked at her guiltily as she reached down to help Spencer up.
"Sorry" Ashley said sheepishly as she picked Spencer up and kissed her on the cheek.
"That's alright...it came as a shock to me as well." Spencer said as she glared at Kelly. "What do you mean your intended. I don't seem to recall agreeing to that." she stated as she poked Kelly in the chest backing her up against the wall " What I do recall is you wanting to get together so you would have a better chance to get in Aunt Paula's good graces. Possibly be the next in line to run the Summer Court, and if I remember correctly I turned you down. So why would I agree all the sudden to marry you?"
"It was arranged."
"Arranged. We don't arrange marriages."
"If a high enough price is paid we do."
"High enough price?"
"It doesn't matter right now. I need to get you back to Faerie." Kelly said as she stepped forward and reached to grab Spencer's arm once again.
"Stop!" snarled Ashley as she pulled Spencer to her. "We agreed you would answer some questions before you went, and I for one would like for you to answer them."
If Kelly had heard the you part she chose to ignore it as she said "Very well. What would you like to know first?"
#####################################################
'Turn around let me see your face, surly it's not who I think it is. Would she really put herself in this situation?'
The figure was pressed up against the window trying to get a better look when a loud noise from the machine down the sidewalk scared him, and he jumped away from the window and ran back to the alley across the street ducking into the shadows looking around to see if anyone had seen him.
#####################################################
"How did you get here?" asked Ashley first.
"Through the gate?" answered Kelly
"What gate? The closes gate is a couple of hundred miles from here, and it's not due to move for a couple of weeks." Spencer said as she leaned into Ashley.
"Same gate."
"Well if that's not vague I don't know what is." Growled Ashley. "What I would like to know is how did you just pop into our room?"
"I opened a portal and stepped through." Kelly said as she smirked at the impatient face of Ashley and Spencer. She reached down to her pocket and pulled out a pouch. "And if you have enough of this you can do all kind of things like that." she said as she opened the pouch and showed Spencer the faerie dust inside.
Spencer's eyes got big. "That's a lot of dust. I didn't think the council would let that much get out of faerie?"
"Well they figured with your new friends and all that I should be prepared if they decided that they wanted to fight." Kelly stared pointedly at Ashley. "If their all as easy as this one they shouldn't have worried."
Ashley grumbled under her breath "I'll show her easy." Spencer wrapped her arms around Ashley to keep her in place.
"Kelly, why does the royal court wish to see me?" asked Spencer
"Your uncle was well liked in the royal court and he had some pretty high friends in the royal Sidhe as well. They don't like to leave his death the way it was because it makes them look bad. Therefore they figured Queen Paula must have had a hand in his demise so that she could run both courts the way she sees fit until she replaces him with someone that will do her bidding. That someone they figure is you. So they wish to interrogate you about your position and if you were coming back to run the Winter Court." Kelly took a breath and continued "Besides they couldn't see a bunch of mongrels having the know how or the strength to kill a Fae, let alone a royal Fae. So that left you and your Aunt as the masterminds behind it."
"Wait they really think that Aunt Paula and myself conjured up everything that Uncle Arthur did so that we could get control of the Winter Court?" Spencer asked
"Yes...I don't believe it. That was why I called in some markers to get you a fair trial. They figured if you were my intended that you would be less inclined to try to run the Winter Court and leave it to me if you were next in line. So you see for all intense and purposes you are my intended, so ruled by the royal courts." Kelly said with a smirk.
"The hell she is!" snarled Ashley as she leaps towards Kelly, holding her up against the well doing a half shift and squeezing her by the neck.
Spencer rushed to her side and tries to pull her off of Kelly. "It's not her fault. Please put her down..." Spencer starts to tear up "Please."
Ashley releases her hold and brings Spencer into her arms while she is crying on her. Kelly is forgotten as she drops to the floor holding her neck and sputtering "I should turn you into a ankle biter you mutt."
Ashley just snarls at her while trying to console Spencer.
"I...I...I..cccan't believe they..." sniff sniff "would thin would k k kill my own Uncle to to r..r..rule." hiccup "I...It was the hardest thing to do." sniff sniff "But I couldn't lose you." Spencer sobbed into Ashley.
"Shhh, I know." Ashley said as she shifted back thankful she was wearing stretch clothing. "It's gonna be alright. We'll see this through together."
'The hell you will if I have anything to say about it.' Kelly thought to herself. "Spencer I hate to break this up, but we have to go."
"I'll go with you." Ashley said
"You can't." Kelly said "The Summer Court is not letting in outsiders at this time. It's only for Fae."
Ashley bristled. "If I can't come then my mate can't go."
"I didn't say I needed you permission." Kelly threw some of the dust on them and they froze. She walked to them and untangled them. She hung onto Spencer as she looked at Ashley who could see all that was going on but couldn't move. "I was just being nice. Now I'm taking my intended and going back to Faerie." she said as she kissed Spencer. "How do you like that." she snapped her fingers and a portal appeared.
Ashley was trying to get free but she couldn't she looked towards Spencer and she could see despair and sadness in her eyes. 'I love you, please don't give up on me.' she was shouting inside of her head.
Kelly stepped through the portal with Spencer. The portal blinked out and Ashley was left in the room by herself. She still couldn't move and she didn't know how long it would last. 'Where is that damn imp.' She thought to herself as a single tear made it's way down her face and hit the floor.
############################################################
Meanwhile in the alley across the way the man kept hearing the racket by the hotel room and he looked around and crossed the way back over to the room. He looked down the hall and decided that the ice machine must be going out. 'They should really fix that. It would keep me up most of the night.'
#######################################################
At the airport across town a plane was deboarding.
"Well hot damn. California here I am." Aiden said as he was hit in the back of the head by Madison.
"Act your age." She hissed.
"Ya you ass hat. Why don't we call Ashley and see if she wants to go grab some dinner with us and maybe go out for some drinks after wards." Kyla stated as she smirked at Aiden as he rubbed his head.
"That's a good idea. I'll call the Princess and see if she can talk her into it." said Aiden as he took out his phone. He dialed the number and waited for awhile "No answer." he stated as he hung up the phone.
"Why don't you call Jesse and let him know that we're in town and that we'll be at Ashley's." Madison stated for Kyla.
Kyla got a goofy grin on her face as she got her phone out and proceeded to make a call.
"I'll have doofus here go get our luggage and I'll go grab us a cab." Madison stated as she started to walked off.
##############################################################
The man in the walkway was trying to look back through the window when a bright light appeared in the room again. He could just make out someone stepping through carrying someone. When the light went out all he saw was Ashley immobile. ' Why isn't she moving' he wondered to himself. He tried to get a closer look when his phone rang. It caused him to jump and hit the window with his head. He took his phone out and looked at the caller I.D. He started to sweat. He ran across the way back to the alley as he flipped his phone open.
"Hello." he said
"Hey Jesse, it's Kyla. I just wanted to let you know that I'm in town and I'm on my way to Ashley's hotel room. I was wondering if you would like to have that dinner tonight? I've got a couple of friends I'd like for you to meet."
"Ya, sure. What time would you like for me to pick you guys up?" He asked.
"You better give us a couple of hours. It'll take that long to talk Ashley into it."
"Sure no problem. How about eightish?" he asked.
"That should be fine." Kyla stated as she smiled into the phone. She glance towards the exit of the airport and she saw Madison waving her hands at her to let her know they were waiting on her. "Hey, look my cabs here. I gotta go. I'll see you tonight."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
He hung up the phone and he shook his head. 'How did I get myself into this?' He asked himself. He truly liked Kyla and he liked Ashley and Spencer as well. 'I don't want to hurt them, but he has my daughter and my mom.'
##########################################################
Ashley heard the commotion outside her room and she was trying to make some noise so that whoever was out there would know that she was there. It wasn't working. She was struggling to get free of what ever this was that she was under. She noticed that she started to tremble a little or at least she hoped she was and it wasn't in her head. She finally could move her fingers after what felt like hours, but it had only been forty minutes. 'When I get my hands on that bitch there won't be nothing left of her for the royal court or anyone else to put back together again.' she snarled in her own head.

Ashley started trembling more and more and then she fell forward on her face still unable to move.
"mmm mmm melp!" Ashley tried to yell at who ever was outside her door. She started to shake and then she could move a little bit. She tried to sit up while looking around the hotel room, but before she could get up the door to her room swung open and there stood Kyla and Madison with Aiden pushing his way in between them looking around. "Princesssssss" he hollered "Come out come out wherever you are." He said while he was smirking.
Aiden walked forward into the room nearly tripping over Ashley. "Hey Ashes, what are you doing down there?" he asked as he stooped down and scooped Ashley from the floor and twirled her around like a rag doll.
Ashley glared at him as she was mumbling. He still didn't understand her.
"Put her down," Kyla said as she looked around the room for Spencer. "Somethings not right here."
She said as her eyes landed on Ashley. That was when she noticed the unshed tears in her sister's eyes. She rushed to Ashley and hugged her. "Are you alright? Where's Spencer?" as she asked the last question Ashley burst into tears and cried on Kyla's shoulder.
Ashley was still having trouble forming words and she was becoming frustrated because she couldn't get them to understand what she was trying to say.
"Ashley," Madison said as she knelt in front of the both of them. "Do you need to go to the hospital?" she asked as she ran her hand up and down Ashley's back.
Ashley picked her head up and shook it no. Looking at Ashley just broke her heart. She took both of them in her arms and hugged them while she rocked them both side to side.
The next thing Ashley knew there was Aided joining in and shouting "Group hug!" He elbowed his way in saying, "Don't leave me out." The next thing you know they were a big ball of weeping mush. He sniffed and asked. "Why are we crying?"
Madison turned her head and looked at him sniffing as well. "I...I don't know."
They both turned and looked at Kyla she just shrugged her shoulders and looked at Ashley. "Can you tell us what's going on? Where's Spencer? " well that just caused Ashley to cry harder.
######################################################
Meanwhile a couple of hundred miles up in the hills with nature a rabbit hopped out of the way as a portal of white light opened and out stepped Kelly carrying Spencer. "Your not as light as you look." she huffed as she put Spencer against a rock.
Spencer just glared at her. "Now now, stop looking at me like that." Kelly said as she was smirking at her. She stooped down and kissed Spencer on the cheek. "I can't have my intended looking all flustered and upset now can I." She said as she drew Spencer's mouth towards her and kissed her once again.
Spencer was becoming repulsed by what was happening. 'Who does she think she is?' She thought to herself as she started to get feeling in her extremities. She bit down on Kelly's tongue and drew blood.
Kelly jerked her head away and back handed Spencer across the face. She brought her hand up to her mouth and wiped away some blood. "That wasn't a smart thing to do little girl." She said as she reached down and grabbed Spencer by the hair, she seemed to have second thoughts as she released her and Spencer fell back to the ground.
Spencer looked around the clearing that they were in and she saw the faerie gate, as well as something standing in front of it. It was misshapen an grotesque. It's one good eye was red and it had something like puss coming out from around it, and it was looking right at her. She trembled looking at it. Spencer heard a low growling coming from the creature, it looked ready to pounce on her.
"SHUT UP!" yelled Kelly as she looked at the thing. It dropped to it's knees in front of her and bowed it's head. Kelly had the pouch of faerie dust out in front of her and she was chanting something in a low voice.
Spencer couldn't make out what Kelly was chanting but from what she could hear she could tell it wasn't anything good.
The faerie gate started throbbing like a heart beat and pulsing with different colors, Kelly proceeded by throwing a handful of faerie dust into it. A thick tendril of red energy came out of it and grabbed the creature on his knees and dragged him towards the gate kicking and screaming. He left gouges in the dirt where he tried to gain purchase on the ground to stop what ever it was that grabbed him. He looked up at Kelly and the only thing she did was kick him in the face so that he would lose his hold on the root that he had found to hang on to.
Spencer heard the agonizing screams of the dying creature and she couldn't breath. Her eyes were wide a saucers as Kelly walked towards her and picked her up again throwing her over her shoulder she walked towards the gate. "Don't worry your pretty little head, that's why it was here. It was a sacrifice for safe passage for us to enter." Spencer squeezed her eyes shut as Kelly walked closer to the gateway.

Kyla had a wet rag and was cleaning Ashley's face with it. "Aiden can you get some ice out of the ice machine? The buckets over on the counter thanks."
"Why do I have to do it?" He whined
Madison hit him in the stomach. "Because she asked nicely and I'm your girlfriend and I shouldn't have to." She looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
He shuffled his feet and grabbed the bucket and headed out of the room mumbling something about PMS and not enough testosterone in the room.
He walked to the ice machine and raised the lid, all of sudden there was a blue streak that shot out of the ice machine and into his shirt. He lets out a high pitched girly scream and started jumping up and down slapping himself all over his upper torso.
Madison looks out the door and shakes her head as she walks back into the room. 'I don't know what I see in him.' she says under her breath. "Now while doofus is out doing the Carlton dance will you please tell us what's going on?"
"Yes Ashley, please." Kyla stated as she pulled back and looked Ashley in the eyes.
Sniff sniff sniffle "Sh sh sh she" sniff "took her." She stated as she collapsed back onto Kyla's shoulder crying again.
"Spencer?" Kyla asked.
Ashley shook her head yes.
"Who took her?" Madison asked.
"Kelly."
"Kelly?...Kelly who?" asked Kyla in a confused voice.
"Her betrothed..."sniff sniffle and she blows her nose on Kyla "She just took her. There wasn't anything I could do." Ashley continued to cry on Kyla.
Kyla shook her off and stood up and started pacing she stopped in front of Ashley and sat on the bed with her. "You need to straighten up and act like the Beta wolf you are. This is no way for you to act" she stated as she looked at Ashley. "And this is most definitely not the time or the place for you to break down." She stood up again and started pacing back and fourth. "We need to make a plan, any plan to get her back. Unless..." She started as she sat back down on the bed. "did she go willingly? Because if she did I don't know what we could do. What did you do? You drove her away didn't you? Not talking, keeping everything bottled up not keeping her abreast of things." hrmpth "No wonder she left you. Hell I'd leave you to if I could but I'm your sister and I don't get a choice in the matter." Ashley put her hand over Kyla's mouth for a few seconds then tried to remove her hand "Your job always comes first and whaaaaaaa mmmph" Ashley put her hand back over Kyla's mouth.
Kyla raised her eyebrow and got a twinkle in her eye as she proceeded to licked Ashley's hand. "Awww gross Kyla." Ashley said as she wiped her hand on her pants.
Madison was standing to the side and she witnessed the whole thing and she started laughing. Ashley looked at her then she started laughing as well and before long Kyla joined in.
Aiden walked threw the door and he looked a little peeved. "What are you laughing for?" he snaps thinking Madison must have told them about what happened outside. He raises his hand and there in the middle of his palm stands a blue imp with his teeth about to chatter out of his mouth. "And how did this get in the ice machine...Ashley?"
"Glen!" Ashley shouts as she rushes over to him. "What? How? Are you all right?" She asks as she takes him into her hands and she notices how cold he is. She goes over to the sink and turns on the hot water and warms up a sink full of warm water and puts him in it. She can see his color start to turn to normal. She helps him out and hands him a washcloth to dry off on. All the girls turn around to give him some privacy. Aiden just stands there and continues to watch.
"Will big beastie boys turns aways?" glen asks with his hands on his hips and his foot tapping on the counter top.
Ashley grabs him by the arm and turns him around. Not even a minute later there stands Glen in front of them on the bed looking around. "Wheres Missy Spencer?" he asks.
At that Ashley starts to tear up again, but before she can she shakes her head and puts on her business face. "Kelly's got her and we're going to get her back." She grabs Glen and places him on the table and then motions for everyone else to take a seat around the table.

Kelly steps out of the gate on the other side and she drops Spencer on the ground non to gently. Spencer is starting to move on her own and she stands up and starts towards the gate.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Kelly yells at her.
Spencer stops and says. "Well your not me." she turns back around and starts back to the gate at a slow pace, just before she gets there it sputters and a ugly red blob is thrown from it and it lands on Spencer. She falls to the ground trying to figure out what it is, when she sees the red puss filled eye looking back at her from the lifeless face. She starts screaming as the gate collapsed in on itself.
"GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!"
Kelly looks down at her and chants another spell and the body or at least that was what Spencer was calling it disappeared. Kelly reaches down and jerks Spencer up by her arm. Spencer wretches her arm free of Kelly and stumbles backwards a couple of feet.
"Don't run off. You might get lost." Kelly laughs at her.
"Where are we?" Spencer asks as she looks at Kelly.
"A better question would be when, not where?" Kelly states as she looks at Spencer once again.
"What do you mean when?" Spencer asks as she's trying to back away from Kelly who was still laughing and it didn't look like she was gonna stop any time soon. 'She's lost it.' Spencer said to herself.
Spencer asks "What's so funny?" as she puts her hands on her hips and tilts her head to the side.
"You should see your face." hahahahahahahahaha "wwwwhwwhwhen?" hahahahahah "That's just to funny." Kelly was making fun of Spencer and Spencer didn't like it.
Spencer glared at Kelly and stomped her foot, which only caused Kelly to laugh that much harder. As she laughed she started to shimmer and what stood in her place was an older scarred up version of Kelly, who had a manacle gleam in her eye.
Spencer's jaw dropped and she took a couple of more steps back trying to get some more space between her and Kelly. "What happened to you?" she asked. There was a loud noise behind Spencer and she turned towards it It was a horde of the undead like the creature at the gate and it was coming straight for her. She faced Kelly again who just so happened to have snuck up on her and was right in her face.
'Run Run.' a little voice in her head said.
She didn't need to be told twice. She took off in the opposite direction of the creatures with Kelly watching her leave.
The horde burst into the clearing and came to an abrupt stop in front of Kelly and they all hit their knees.
"Chase her all through out the forest, but don't give her any time to rest, and do not harm her." Kelly said.
"Yes mistress." the creatures all said at the same time as they got up and took off after Spencer.
Coming from where the horde had come from you could hear a fluttering of wings and out of the woods came a pixie.
"Keep an eye on her, Befriend her. When she gets tired of running bring her back to the castle." Kelly said as she was looking at the way Spencer had ran.
"Yes mistress."
The pixie started the way that Spencer had gone.
"Oh, and Clay."
"Yes...mistress."
"Remember who you serve." Kelly hissed at him.
Clay bowed his head and said, "Yes, mistress."
