"Well, shall we vote?" Ramses asked shortly after Alissa had left.

"I vote no, after all, we have no Idea what she's capable of," Stoker said coldly.

"As do I," Pariah Dark agreed flatly since he still held reservations about being imprisoned.

The voting continued with Radu and Dracula watching from the sidelines. Radu was very, very nervous. Contrary to popular belief vampires weren't the heartless creatures humans thought they were. Yes, there were the few evil demented ones but, not all of them were that way. Radu really hoped Alissa would be permitted to stay. He was delighted to see that Pariah and, Stoker were the only ones who voted against Alissa. With the voting over Radu and Dracula went to find Alissa who was still seated on the balcony.

"Alissa, come with us," Dracula said.

"Coming,"

The two brothers escorted the young fairy back into the dining hall. Alissa stood nervously in front of the council members. Would they send her back? Ramses stood up and walked over to the three.

"Alissa, you can stay,"

"Really?" Alissa asked her eyes growing wide in surprise.

"Yes,"

"Welcome, Alissa," Belloc said speaking to Alissa for the first time.

"Thank You,"

With Alissa's fate decided the council left. With them gone, Alissa, Radu and, Dracula sat at the table to discuss what was going to happen next.

"Alissa, you may stay with me if you would like," Radu offered.

"That sounds wonderful," Alissa nodded happily.

…...

Alissa and Radu returned home a few days later. Currently, Alissa was unpacking her things. She really didn't have much to Radu's surprise. After she had put her clothing away she slid her charm bracelet on and, went exploring. Radu was happy to show her around. After their tour had ended the two sat in the main room where Radu was inquiring about Alissa's interests and her motivations for running away in the first place.

"Well, as I said before if I had stayed in Ever After I would have been forced to Sign the storybook of legends and fulfill my destiny. That's something I never wanted to do in the first place,"

"You're very brave,"

"No, not really actually I thought I would be considered cowardly,"

"Not in my opinion,"

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, I can tell you weren't thinking of just yourself,"

"That is true," Alissa nodded slowly.

"What were you thinking of?"

"Well, if I had stayed in Ever After my daughter would've had to sign I can't even imagine putting my future children through that,"

"If you had a daughter what would you name her?"

Alissa thought about this before answering.

"Christina, her name would be Christina,"

"I like that name," Radu agreed.

"I always have liked that name I don't know why,"

Radu and Alissa enjoyed talking to each other. It was just so easy for the both of them to open up.

"You know, Alissa I think we are going to be great friends,"

"As do I,"

…...
