Chapter 2

Serenity and Roiben moved stealthily to Unseelie Court territory, at least that is what she figured. Roiben had said there was no time for him to explain anything, just that it was not safe for her to be in neutral territory anymore. Serenity looked out in front of her, on Roiben cloak was not only the crown of thorns, but also a rose with no thorns, the symbol of the Seelie Court. Now this was all too weird. Serenity looked in the distance and saw a large cave, 4 knights stood at the opening of the cage along with a young pixie.

"What is going on?" Serenity was getting skittish, ready to turn and flee or fight and kill.

"Please just wait till we get inside. You will like Kaye."

"Hmm, I'm not sure I like anyone any more." She didn't like not knowing what was going on. As Serenity and Roiben approached the cave and the knights she noticed that 2 of the knights were of the Seelie Court, 2 of the Unseelie Court. Great, she thought to herself sarcastically, this was already going great!

Roiben walked past the guards without a single glance and grabbed the pixie by the waist. He put his hand on Serenity's shoulder to keep her next to him, but she shrugged it off. Serenity glanced behind her, the knights were following them.

"I see it went well sir." A knight from the Seelie court said, he still had his face hidden from her.

"You are right she is a very beautiful creature." A knight from the Unseelie court said. Serenity stopped and slowly turned around, she was pissed off and this was the perfect person to let her fury out on. She hated it when people talked as if she wasn't there, so this just added to her anger. She curled her fingers into loose fists and let her power collect there. The air around her got freezing cold and sticky. Her concentration was only on the man in front of her. So, in effect, she didn't notice the female knight of the Unseelie Court raise her sword, ready to hit Serenity in the head with the butte of the sword. But before she could do that the pixie grabbed her hand. The shock of her kindness made Serenity lose concentration and her power disperse. It was then that she felt a harsh blow in the back of her head, and the last thing she heard before blacking out was the pixie yelling at the female knight.
