A/N: I only own OCs

The Reign of Maddox, Guest, and Kizzyfur- Thanks for the review! I hope that you enjoy this chapter!

Dean POV

I was completely worried and pissed at the same time. They had shot at my mother, but worse of all Grace was missing.

"They will find her, Dean." a voice said and I turned to see my mother.

"Are you alright?" I asked her as I hugged her.

"I am, but I am also worried about Grace." she said and I nodded.

"What do I do mother?" I asked her and she pursed her lips together.

"You do what you think is right." she said and I was glad to hear that. I knew that Father had issues with all the girls, but I could tell that he was most unsure about Grace.

"I will handle your father as best I can." she said and gave me a small smile.

"Thank you." I said and hugged her.

"Your magesty and highness, They just called in… they have her." Paul said and we both headed downstairs.

"You should send her home." father said when we walked into the room.

"No, she survived by herself for all of this. She's not going anywhere." I said and father looked upset.

"Leave, everyone." he roared and I knew that didn't mean me.

I watched as everyone left and mother didn't look happy.

"You are going to pick someone who will help this country! You are not in this for love! You aren't fit to rule this country so far and I do not want you to pick someone who is more irresponsible than you." he hissed at me.

"I am not irresponsible! I do what I think is best and I can't help if that's not always what you think is right!" I roared back.

"You will send someone home!" he said and I took a deep breath.

"Fine, but it will not be her!" I said and he backhanded me. I stumbled back, but stood my ground.

"You are never going to be a good ruler so at least pick someone who can help you." he said and I wiped the blood off my lip.

"I will." I said and he nodded.

"Oh, I have decided to stop the payments for the families… they don't need it. And the one who does isn't worth it." he said and I shook my head. I knew that's why Grace wanted to be here. I had to convince her now that she needed to stay for me.

"They are here." a voice said through the door.

"Come on, let's make sure she's alright." father said and breezed past me.

Grace POV

"I can walk." I said as they walked up the back stairs towards the doors. Justin and Seth looked at each other, but Justin put me down. I hissed as pain shot through my feet when they touched the smooth stones.

"You are back!" a voice said as I walked into the door. Brie hugged me and I was glad to see her. She was standing with Paige and Tamina. I was glad to see them. They all hugged me as the King walked up to me.

"I am glad to see that you are back. You will get checked out." he said and I curtseyed the best I could. I was a little sad that I couldn't see Dean.

"I will take you." a voice said and I turned to see Justin. I took his arm and walked with him to the hospital wing.

"I am glad that you are ok." he mumbled and I let out a harsh laugh.

"Right, like you were glad to leave me that night." I shot back and he pulled me to the wall.

"Look, I wanted to give you a fighting chance… you needed to forget about me." he said and I shook my head.

"Like I can forget about you now." I said and started to the hospital wing. He caught up and took my arm. My legs were starting to ache a lot more. I was having trouble walking and Justin could tell.

"Hang on, Grace." Justin said as he picked me up and started to run with me. I blacked out because my legs hurt so bad.

Dean POV

I was still pissed at my father. He was being such an ass about everything. I knew that he wanted me to pick Eva, but I didn't care for her at all. She was good to look at, but she wasn't anything past that. I went and worked out with Seth after I heard that Grace was in the hospital wing. I knew that I needed to see her, but I was so mad. I didn't want to upset her or say the wrong thing.

"Just go." a voice said and I turned to see Magnus.

"What?" I asked him.

"We all know she's the favorite." he said and I smirked.

"Was she bad when you found her?" I asked him and he sighed.

"She looked rough, but she's a fighter." he said and I nodded.

"Thanks." I said and he smiled before continuing on his way.

I grabbed some flowers from the gardeners and headed to see her. I walked in to see her in one of the beds. She looked peaceful sleeping. I put the flowers down and kissed her forehead; her eyes fluttered open.

"Hi." I said and she gave a small smile.

"Are you alright?" I asked her.

"I will be, are you?" she asked me as concern flashed across her face. She ran a finger across my cheek. I probably had a bruise from dad.

"Workout problems." I said and she gave a small smile.

"I was worried." I blurted out a few minutes later.

"Me too." she admitted with a small smile.

"Do you need anything?" I asked her.

"Can I go back to my room?" she asked me and I looked around.

"Let me go ask." I said and she nodded.

Grace POV

I was nervous and happy to see Dean. He had come visit and brought me flowers.

"Come on, I can't take you to your room, but I can get you out of here for a few minutes." he said and I smiled.

He helped me out of bed and took my arm. We walked out to a sun room. They moon was visible through the windows and everything was peaceful. I leaned on his shoulder and we were talking about anything he could think to talk about.

"Grace." he said and I looked at him. He smiled, but leaned in and gave me an akward kiss. I smiled, but he looked upset.

"I thought that would be better." he said with a small laugh.

"Well, if I don't think it happened and you don't think it happened then we can always try it again." I said and he smiled at me.

He leaned in and we had an amazing kiss. I was already feeling better.
