AU: it has been like forever since I have updated anything. I was actually considering deleting the rest of my stories and start over. I feel like I'm portraying Red in the wrong way and I don't feel like she's like an actual person. If you have any opinions please feel free to share you can pm me or review, either way I'll get them.

Chapter 3

I just stared at the girl.

What could I possibly do? This girl was hardly old enough to even be considered in my home and the fact that I had bound myself to her was not going to help anything. As a reaper I had more responsibilities. As a son I had to make my parents proud but as a protector I was nothing. I took lives not saved them; I hadn't known at the time what I was really doing. I was reacting based solely upon instinct and look at where that got me.

Rylee had left saying that he would return to explain more to me. All this day had done was give me an incredible headache and a small girl that I have somehow bound myself to. As I forced myself to go back over my school years I remembered little about the banished Queen. I was at the beginning of my school life and the Queen had somehow managed to destroy her place in the royal reaper court. I remember the Queen as a beautiful girl that was wise beyond her years. Her eyes shone with both grace and cleverness. She was a troublesome opponent in any battle and often spent her days around the school. Everyone loved her, that's why when she was banished everyone was outraged. Our beloved Queen was no longer a part of our lives. From the rumors that had spread around she had done the unspeakable and was stripped of her reaper abilities. In the words of a reaper she was nothing more than a defenseless human.

This was all I knew about the Queen, I knew not even her name. She told no one where she was sent and as if she had never been a part of our world she disappeared. That means that if I want to know any more about my predicament I will have to find the beloved Queen that hasn't been on the throne for nearly 800 years.

~~~~~ Rylee's P.O.V. ~~~~~

I was shocked to find that the reapers still left the library unlocked but then again I haven't been in the headquarters for nearly 412 years. It wasn't that hard to find information of the Queen, she had been sent to the closest human civilization. Since then she has moved several times. They kept everything about her recorded neatly.

Actually I was surprised to find information on her at all. After the dethronement no one mentioned the Queen unless they were criticizing the court about her. From the information I discovered little about the human. That just means I'll have to find our Queen and get all the information needed. I'm just hoping that by the time I find her it won't be too late.

AU: I know that it's a little short but this is all I could think of for now. If you have any ideas please let me know. They are certainly welcome. Please review. Thank you .
