Teague's POV

I run from Savannah and the dance before my shoes send me back in time as they were made to. But to where I don't know. I guess it's really when and where. My shoes begins to spark and before I know it I'm on the fae plane or what I think is the fae plane. I land in the woods, tress surround me but somehow I landed in the grass. I wonder around hopelessly, cursing the shoes because after so many stories of being in and out of a relationship with Savannah White. She had invited me to be her date to her families masquerade party at a country club... if I'm remembering correctly. She was stunning but once again the wonderful Story has to get involved.

I look around at my surroundings. Grass, trees, grass, trees, and well more trees. A shadow passes over me and I curse under my breath. I look up and... just my luck. Another chance for death to dance in front of me. A giant bird is flying circles above me, and I'm glad I noticed because not just a second after the giant bird goes to kill me.

I regain myself and start running away. I somehow make my way towards a tree, but once again bad luck comes to greet me and I trip three feet away from my protection. I look up hoping, no, praying I'm not gonna die. But instead I see that another giant bird has joined and looks like they are fighting. Maybe for who gets to eat me. A part of me thinks but I quickly shove that idea away and hope for the best.

Beautiful, I think as I inspect the birds more closely. They aren't really birds I guess. I think they're griffins. Well we are on the fae plane, anything is possible here, great now a part of me wants to be a smarty pants right now. The one that had just joined had chocolate brown feathers with gold specks at the tips of it's wings, and it's eyes were maple brown with gold specks scattered in it much like the rest of it's body.

As I watch one hits once more with it's sharp talons, and passes the message "My dinner!" The other quickly flies off and the one remaining looks around at the clearing. It spots me and I freeze. It begins to fly down in the grass and morphs into a girl. I can't see their face to make out who they are, but I slowly start walking up from behind the tree. The girl doesn't move but remains silent and still, then collapses. Instinct over comes me and I run over to her and I scoop her up bridal style. As I carry her I look down to see who this girl is. And once again sooo lucky. It's Mina, the girl who has killed most of my family, my father, threatened me and anyone close to me.

A million questions bombard my brain. Is she gonna recognize me? If she does will she kill me? I try not to think that much about it. As I walk through the trees I spot a fallen tree, I lay Mina down on the tree and walk toward the stream close by. I look in the water and stare at my reflection. I got a little bit of blood on my arms. Oh, shoot! Mina!

I look back and Mina has scratches on her arms and face and a bruise on her leg. No wonder why she fainted, I rip a piece of my shirt thats under the jacket and soak it in the stream. Once I ring it out and I walk back to a sleeping Mina. She looks so peaceful, no deathly smile is on her face. I always knew she was attractive but, in the sunset she was beautiful. Wait... sunset? I finish getting the blood off of her and went to rinse my shirt back in the stream. As soon as I do, Mina starts to wake. "Hello?" she asks.

" Hey." I reply. Just act cool, she doesn't seem to recognize me so far. This is good. "You feeling better? You had some nasty cuts on you."

" Yea, just a little." Mina says. After an awkward moment of silence, Mina speaks up. " Thank you..."

" Yea no problem. But I should be thanking you, actually." I reply with my signature smirk. "You are the one who saved my life back there."

"Oh, yeah. I almost forgot that... are you real or am I dreaming?" I go to sit by her and I must look confused because she grins at me.

"Why wouldn't I be real," a simple question but she looks more intensely at me, and grins once more. "What?" I ask.

"Oh, nothing..." She puts on an innocent face and smiles. "I'm was just thinking, if this was a dream, which you think its not, how could I tell?"

"Well I could always pinch you, if thats what you want." I give her a mischievous smile and go to pinch her. But she sees my hand and grabs it and looks me in the eye. We stay there for a minute. Her features were soft and delicate, and I might add she's never looked more gorgeous to me. I find myself moving in closing and she does the same, but she stops short after.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to so forward." She says as she brushes a loose strand of her hair out behind her ear.

"No, its fine." I say.

"I'm to be married soon, so..." Mina looks at our surroundings avoiding my gaze.

"Well whats the problem?" I'm confused, why does she seem sad about this.

"Well first, its an arranged marriage" She tries to keep her voice level but its clear that she wasa very strong supporter about this. "And second I barely know them."

"...Oh. Well I'm here for you, if you want you want to rant." I didn't know that Mina ever had to go through this. That explains a little about her being grumpy all the time.

"Thanks," She smirks." Well, I always thought that I would fall in love with someone, and that I would get to marry them. Stupid thought because, people like me never get a chance like that." I'm pretty surprised that Mina would ever feel this way.

"My name is Princess Wilhelmina, but I never liked my name so just call me Mina." She stands up a little wobbly. I copy and stand up as well. I open my mouth to reply but I notice that my shoes are signaling that I'm going back soon.

"I... I uh gotta go," I run before she can reply. A white flash and I'm back on the human plane. I look behind me and Savannah is looking at me in shock.
