I pull Puck into an tug hug after the female Sidhe showed up. It bad enough that the Summer King was abusing us but now just when I thought he would no longer have me as his only source of strength, this happens.
"Sleep Puck I will take everything from here." I said as I felt him relax against me. I waited until he was sleeping soundly. Creating a room of pure bliss for him to sleep peacefully until the end.
"Puck are you ok?" Ryan asked placing his hand on my shoulder.
"He's not here anymore now you and your mate get out of here before I decide to kill you both. And by the way my name is not Puck it's Robin." I said as the forest around me began to twist violently. The branches lashed in the direction of the two Sidhe who stood frozen in fear. The bright white aura that surrounded both of them just enraged me more.
"I thought I told you both to leave." I growled as one of the branches caught them both square in the chest throwing them out of the clearing. Once they were out I surrounded the clearing in thorn bushes each thorn was three inches long. On each thorn sat a blue flame. "Now no one can hurt this place or me again, from this day on I will protect my own heart by growing thorns around my heart same as I have done to this clearing." I said to my self as a pixie flew up to me carrying a letter.
"For you Robin Goodfellow." The pixie said as she held out the letter.
I snatched the letter out of her tiny hands and looked at it.
"What dose he want now." I growled as I headed back to the Palace not bothering to open the letter. I recognized the crest that was stamped on the back. The walk back to the place took little over an hour due to the fact that I had to keep stopping to put out small fires.
"There you are he has been waiting for you." On of the palace guards said as he escorted me to the throne room. Oberon the king of the Summer court was pacing the length of the room muttering to himself.
"You summoned me your majesty." I said as I bowed.
"It's about time I have a job for you to do." He said all but growling as he turned to me. "I need you to do what you do best and entertain some guest for me during dinner. You are not to talk to them or have any kind of contact with them do you understand?" He said.
"Yes my lord I understand perfectly." I said as he dismissed me so I could prepare for the show. The so called guest of the night turned out to just be some duke. I got up on stage and did a few tricks bored out of my mind. The rules for dinner entertainment is that no one has any kind of prank pulled on them, so that limits what I can do.
Dinner passed with out incident and after we all retired to our rooms. Later that night I was woken up by the sound of thunder.
"Great here we go again." I thought as the door to my room opened reveling the Summer King. This time I didn't summit like every other time before, this time I was enraged I had enough pain for one life time.
"Robin you know the drill by now just make it easier on yourself." He said as he pulled one of the daggers from its sheath. Before he knew what was happening I had grabbed the dagger out of his hand and pinned him the the wall.
"No more I will not be your little toy anymore enough is enough, now it's your turn to feel pain." I said I as plunged the dagger into his shoulder just as the first loud crack of thunder was heard over the palace drowning out his pained scream. I released both him and the dagger at the same time as his hand went to pull the dagger out of his shoulder.
"Mark my words Robin I will make you pay for this." He growled as he got up and left my room leaving a small trail of blood.
"Whatever I could careless." I said to myself as I closed the door and flopped on the bed listening to the rain outside as I feel asleep.
I'm not sure how many years pasted since I woke up, I quit keeping track some where along the line I became the Summers kings lapdog, doing his dirty work. I didn't care at least he left me alone unless he had something for me to do.
Just when I thought nothing was going to ever wake Puck from his blissful sleep. Winter invaded us and with them they brought the royal vampire court. The fighting between the courts can only be described as pure hell. All around me my comrades fell their bodies rejoining the woods around us. It wasn't long before I found myself looking down the blade of a sword.
The owner of the blade was a man with raven hair and bright red eyes. He looked so painfully familiar about him I felt Puck stirring in his blissful sleep.
"Run." Was all he said before fear took hold of me and I ran. I didn't look back I just kept running I'm not sure how but some how I managed to dodged a woman in red armor. Her black hair brushed my cheek as I passed her. I ran for what felt like hours before I could no longer run anymore and I collapsed and my world went black.
