This is chapter 2, I hope you like it. the Unseelie Court just arrived at Elysium and Rose is about to enter the room next to Sage's side.

My legs were shaking and my hands were starting to get sweaty. I didn't know it was possible for someone to be this nervous. On the way here, Sage told me there was nothing to be nervous about, he didn't know that I would see my sister for the first time in person.

"Relax," whispered a voice from behind me. When I turned around it didn't even surprise me that I saw Rowan standing there looking as smug as ever.

"I have no idea what you are talking about your majesty, I have been waiting for this moment my entire life," I said back. I almost hit myself my nerves were so far up that I just started talking on auto pilot, I shouldn't have said anything.

"Your entire life, uh," he said, it sounded almost like question.

"Leave her alone, Rowan," Ash said coming up behind Rowan.

"And what are you gonna do if I don't?"Rowan sneered back.

"He won't have to do anything, Mother already told you to leave her alone," Sage said from behind me. I was surprised again that Mab would even consider saying something like that.

"Mother isn't here right now is she?" Rowan said looking around. He grabbed my hand and was about to pull me towards him when an arm snaked around my waist. When I looked up I saw Sage standing there. Rowan let go very slowly, "You really care about her that much, enough to get on my bad side?" Rowan sneered. Sage didn't say anything, his face had the blank mask on again.

Suddenly I heard trumpets playing, and I took that as my signal to be quiet and get in line. Right as we started walking Sage grabbed my hand, I guess he didn't mind it being so sweaty. The doors opened and we walked out. I could hear ever gasp that went through the room, they were more than surprised to see me. In my mind i could hear Meghan talking to Grimalkin asking him who we were. 'What's wrong with the little girl, she seems almost nervous, how old is she?' I heard her ask. I didn't have time to hear Grim's answer since we just arrived in front of Oberon. We all bowed and I could see that even he was surprised to see me. I heard her ask about Ash. I looked at her and smiled a small smile, same as Ash just did.

**around an hour later**

I was sitting next to Sage, in the middle of the huge table, almost right next to Meghan. After a few minutes, I could feel her tense, when I looked at her I saw that Ash was standing right behind her. I quietly slipped into her mind and listened to what they were saying, Ash was asking her to dance. She refused but Ash explained why he was asking, the tradition. She asked why he didn't ask me to dance and he explained that I'm practically from his court. I finally decided to help out a little. I leaned over to her.

"I'll go if you will," I whispered. Her eyes showed surprised as did Ash's. Now that I got a closer look at her I could see that we didn't look anything alike, she had white blonde hair and I had light brown hair, her's was straight mine was curly, she had blue eyes and I had green eyes.
She looked at me a little funny, I smiled and grabbed Sage's hand. "Can we go dance?" I asked him, he seemed surprised but nodded.

"I don't know how to dance,"I heard her say.

"Nether do I,"I said waiting for her to stand up. When she finally did she took Ash's hand and he lead her to the dance floor, me and Sage followed. They started dancing first, it looked like she was having trouble with the whole moving your feet thing. After a little while she was starting to let her body take over, that's when me and Sage started dancing. I forgot that me and Sage would be pressed against each other. While we were dancing i actually forgot that Meghan and ash and everybody was there looking at us. Right when the music stopped there was a sickening scream that came from the crowd. Sage pulled away but didn't let go of my hand, he pulled me back to the table and away from Meghan and the crowd. I couldn't see what was making the noise so i slipped into Meghan's mind and look. There was a chimera in the crowd looking straight towards her. I knew what was going to happen but I couldn't stop it I was to far away. Something was wrong with the beast, it wasn't acting right. 'Iron,' i thought, only iron could have such an affect on something that huge. I ripped my hand out of Sage's grip and started running back towards Meghan, but he caught me. Sage caught my waist, he lifted me up and carried me toward a group of Summer guards.

"Do not let her out of your sight," he said to the guards. Normally they wouldn't have listened, even to the Winter prince but everybody knew that I was Oberon's daughter.

"No, Sage don't just leave me here," I begged, "I can help."

"No you can't, your just a little girl, you need protection," he said. That hit me right in the heart. Tears started to form in my eyes but I refused to let them fall. The guards grabbed my arms and formed a circle around me. I slipped into Meghan's mind again and saw that Ash had saved her. I saw Sage and Rowan come into the fight as well as some guards. The guards that were around my were trying to look at what was happening, so I took that to my advantage. I snuck past them and forced myself through the crowd. When I came to the front I saw that the dragon head from the chimera was about to blow fire, Sage and the princes were out of the fire range but Meghan was not. Without thinking I grabbed my dagger from under m dress and threw it hoping it would hit its mark. It did, it hit the chimera right in the back of the head. Everybody looked confused for a minute than looked at me. Nobody seemed to think that the chimera was dead but I knew better, it was dying but it wasn't yet, fortunately Ash knew this too, he cut its head off. Everybody was silent for a minute looking at me than at the dead chimera. Mab was the first one to break the silence.

"Oberon!" she screamed, "How dare you set this monster on us during Elysium, when we come to you under the banner of trust!" She said something but I didn't care enough to listen. A greedy little redcap was following Meghan on the stage, I was about to step in but Ash did instead. I wanted to go talk to her but Sage stepped up to me.

"I told you to stay out of it!" he snapped. I looked at him and saw that he angry, it took a lot to make someone like him angry.

"No you didn't, you told the guards to not let me out of their sight," I said, "All you said to me was that I was just a little girl."

"You could've been seriously hurt!" he snapped back.

"But I wasn't I saved a life!" I snapped at him. Suddenly Rowan came up behind Sage and handed me something.

"I think this is yours," he said, when I looked I saw that it was my dagger, cleaned. I took it and put it in its spot.

"It is," I said. When I looked at Meghan I saw that she looked starstruck.

"I think, it is time to leave," ash said from beside me. I nodded but wouldn't look at him or Sage or Rowan. I just turned around and started walking. Right before I left I slipped into Meghan's mind one more time, she was planning to leave.

**at the palace**

"I can NOT believe that Oberon would do something like this," Mab shouted," he will regret this, this calls for war!"

Everybody started to shout and cheer. People were really mad.

"My sons you will lead a hunt, to find the half-breed daughter of Oberon, I want her alive," Mab said when the crowd quieted. I was shocked that she would stoop that low. The princes just nodded, as if they agreed with the terms of war.

" I would like to be a part of this hunt, my queen," I spoke up. Every head in the room turned to stare at me.

"You would hunt your own sister, your own blood?" she asked.

"She is not my blood, a half-breed abomination like her should not be allowed to ever step foot in the Nevernever," I lied somewhat, i couldn't lie but I didn't want an abomination in my home, and I meant the iron creatures.

"No, I will not allow you to participate in this hunt," Mab announced.

"What? Why?"I asked without thinking.

"You can not be trusted, you have summer blood in you, you might go soft and let her go free," she said.

"I would not go soft," I countered.

"You are not to participate in this hunt, now go to your room," she said as if that were the end of it. Two guards came up to me and lead me out of the throne room and to my room. If she thinks that I'll just sit in my room and wait for them capture her she was dead wrong. I was going to go help her escape this place and get back home. She was after all my sister.

Well chapter 2 is finished, I really liked writing it. Chapter 3 will hopefully be up soon! I hope you like it.
