Hi again! 4th chapter in one day! Wow! :D Review? I love reviews! I'll give you a cookie!

Dislaimer: I don't own anything by Alison Croggon. I own The King, Aleah and stuff I make up :D Hehe...

The King, called Andreas, was seated at the throne in his bunny cape and armor with lady bunny in a throne beside him. Probably the queen, Jeric thought. She was very pretty. Pure white with brown big eyes that seems to see right into your soul. The King was eating some fresh and bright orange carrots and cucumbers from a big silver plate. I wonder where they get all the silver and gold...They're bunnies! Jeric wondered when he entered.

"Who dare to enter my presence?" The King Andreas said looking up with his black eyes.

"I come to see if I am worthy and trustable to stay here in this village of yours until I travel to my home." Jeric said, as he had rehearsed with Aleah before they came and tried not to urge at the king and throw him out of the throne. The hull could not stand someone else being in charge. He couldn't even stand Sharma, The Nameless and the one to control over them, being in charge. He felt his anger swell up. This usually didn't happen but he could not see this little fluffy bunny in charge of him. A hull. A hull that could kill him in 2 seconds.

"Well, I have not heard of a meeting with anyone. You shall be dismissed. I decide when I talk to someone." The King snapped. The queen, Olive, smiled regretfully at Jeric. She was used to her husband always wanted to be warned before something happened.

"Oh, don't mind him, dear! He's had a bad day." Yeah, right. I could do such a better job at being the King! Jeric snapped in his head.

"What was that?" Andreas jolted up in his throne to stare at Jeric. "What's you name?" Oh, so it's a mind reading bunny. I heard childish songs about that.

"Jeric."

"Well, if you think you can do such a better job than me, I'll have to kill you. I cannot have more enemies now." He stared and said coldly.

"Now now Andreas, you shouldn't do this again now." Queen Olive scolded the King.

"No. You're right." Andreas sat back in his chair. Well, not sat back more like backed up in it since he's a bunny and standing in the chair...

"Oh. You are a coward, huh?" Jeric couldn't help himself to spit that out. He was a Hull after all. "I will kill you faster than you could blink if I wanted."

The bunny guards began to close in on him, their spears pointing at him.

"Jeric. I have heard of you. You were the Hull at Turbansk. Oh yes, I've heard of you." He continued to stare coldly at him and started to move towards him, dangerously slowly.

"You couldn't even come into the city to spy on that girl to capture for Sharma. The girl you wanted to save as well, right? I heard you were in love. Ha! And you let that tiny little child stop you?"

"No! I did not-" Jeric yelled, but the King continued.

"You fled. You fled to go back where you came from, that poisonous land to get a new assignment because you lied to them and got away with it. Yes, we have spies everywhere, we know a lot." He was reminding him of the darkest time of his life.

"You were quite tortured am I right? No? Well, I think they locked you up to teach you a lesson. But they need many Hulls so they don't kill the foolish ones any more."

"You begged for a second chance." He snarled. "I didn't hear the details about that but you went to a village to destroy and met two strangers and got tuned into a bunny! Ha! Now you are here in front of me! I'll have the pleasure to have a Hull as a prisoner!" He laughed.

"No! That is not what happened. I believe your spies are liars. I did not fail to get in Turbansk. I was to-" Jeric stopped himself. He could not tell the plans of The Nameless to a bunny.

"Is that so? Why won't you tell me then, what happened there?" He dared him to answer.

The next few seconds happened really quickly. Andreas pulled out a sword in his mouth and attacked. Jeric did the same thing, he did not know where the sword came from but it was there. The two fought. Andreas had more skill since Jeric was not used to fight as a bunny and have the sword in his mouth, the paws could not hold the swords properly. The Hull could have killed him easily even as a bunny but that would mean that the whole village would chase him until they captured him and he did not need that at the moment.

Jeric simply ran when he disarmed Andreas. Through the guards who chased him, unto the gates and straight out grabbing Aleah by the neck- like a mommy cat to her child and he ran into the forest, ignoring everything around him.

He ran for ages it seemed. With his little bunny paws it did not go as fast as he intended, but s=he was being chased by bunnies in armor which slowed them down of the weight.

When they came to a clearing in the forest he stopped and put Aleah down. He did not know what to expect now. He had no food, even if a Hull would not starve, Aleah would. In the forest clearing he could sense many creatures of the dark and other animals that hunted rabbits. Aleah looked quite good in her brown soft fur and dark eyes he noticed.

"What were you thinking?" She suddenly screamed very high for being a rabbit. "You think you can just lift me up and run away with guards chasing us? No! You did not even tell me why! Who do you think you are?" She yelled.

He took her because he needed a guide around the forest. He could not admit that though. He is a Hull! The simply do not ask for help. Even if they are bunnies lost in a forest full of animals that want to eat him and don't know where to go.

"They would have found out you talked to me. They would probably have captured you." He said showing no emotion at all. Aleah looked at him suspiciously, she had calmed down a little.

"Why? Why did they seek to capture you?" She asked. She had thought that she could trust him. Maybe that's what he meant with her future mistake, trusting strangers. She had learnt better than that when it is war, She thought.

"I wish not to tell you." He said flatly. He was to tired to explain.

"Well then. I will go back to my home. There are attacks coming and I will help defend the people I came to love."

"You cannot."

"Why?"

"You will take me to the edge of the forest. You know where that is, yes?" Jeric asked.

"...Yes, but I will not help you. That means I will get punished for helping the bunny that are seeking." Again, She added in her head.

"You have no say in this. I can send many evil creatures on you or simply kill you. you don't know what I am cab able of." He threatened.

"Ok. Ok, I shall take you to the end of the forest. No longer." That was her plan, tell him that she would help but she would simply run away and flee when he was asleep. Yes, that would work, she thought.

"You will not try to flee or kill yourself or walk in the wrong direction." He said. How did he know? She thought. She could see no loophole in this and realized he had much more power than her and she could not say no.

"...Fine."

That night when Aleah slept and he took first watch, he put a charm on her so that she could not get away without him knowing. They had a journey to make and he had to make plans for it. It seemed very weird to be a bunny and the Hulls would never take him seriously after this. If they ever find out about this...
