"No, No, No, No!" I cried in horror as Alice and Aniu paraded everything they bought for my trip to my father's domain, note to self never ever, ever let those two have a credit card and an unlimited amount of time before traveling across states and countries. I glared at the offending gowns, Gowns! Silks and satins, and any other type of fabric that would make a normal princess from fairy tales squeal over, I maybe devoting my life to serving the demonic side, but I am in no way going to be a girly princess, what part of hiking though mountains, and over rivers. didn't they understand? I'm not going to a ball or party and the only cosmetics, I would need during this trip was Soap!

"Come on, you act like your new wardrobe is a nightmare?" Alice stated.

I turned and stared at her perfectly smooth innocence face, her golden eyes glowing with joy at the life size Barbie doll, standing before her.

I threw my hands up in the air, "You both are hopeless, pack whatever!" I turned on my heel and walked out my bedroom door,

Charlie was in the den watching some sports thing on tv, as I walked in and flopped down on the couch. He knew I was planning on leaving, I told him I wanted to visit Kagome and get out of Forks for awhile, which is to say, I might not be coming back. I love it in Forks, I have my friends here. But if when I claim my right as Heir to the Throne or whatever serves Sesshomaru as a Throne, I will be forced to remain in safety, which is to say a demonic assassin could walk right in, if say that Assassin is a shape shifter, unlike the wolves. He could change into someone you knew and be invited in. okay I have been reading way to much into things,

"Something wrong?" Charlie asked startling me out of my thoughts, I blinked

"Nothing's wrong. I just don't like the idea of the outfits that are being packed," I lied smoothly, I was getting good at this lying business, having to lie all the time.

"Sure," Charlie replied I could tell he really didn't believe me, what could I say, I'm off to take my 'proper' place as a Heir to a Throne, I really don't want just to get my biological father off my back before he sends an army, yep, I can see the headlines now: Forks, Washington Massacred by supernatural beings, what look to animals in human form.

My ears twitched, ever since I was found out by the Tribe, I quit wearing my headbands around them, even around town, I was starting to be known as the anime freak, something about likely as show named after my uncle 'Inuyasha' makes me wonder who or what sold the rights to their lives. Oh well better people to believe I was wearing fake ears then letting them know they were real.

"So why aren't you packing?" Charlie asked, I wasn't sure why, then I looked up at the tv, it was commercials, no wonder he was talking to me,

"Why should I, Alice and Aniu are packing for me, they know what to do better then me, not to mention I would shred all those clothes with my claws," I replied then looked at my dainty filed to a sharp point nails. Okay, so I never filed them down this way, I was born with pointed nails, sharp pointed nails.

I hid a smirk as I heard Alice's groan at the thought of me shredding clothes, something in her mind was a one time wear thing, but then I'm not a one time wear kinda girl, I don't have money to blow like Alice does, nor can I see what stocks are going to sell. "Are you hungry or want a refill?" I asked for something to do, everyone was setting up their excuses for being gone for so long, Seth, Leah, Quil were going to run the line while Jake and Embry were away, because of Nessie going with me, as much I don't like the idea. She could get hurt along with the rest of the Cullens, I knew some demons from my education with Aniu; there were some with Fire Element, so I have to be on my guard.

"oh Elena," called Aniu in a sing song voice that made me shudder in fear. She made her way down the stairs, I stood up and walked with perfect gracefulness, stupid etiquette lessons that Aniu threatened me with came to pass, she won me over saying I would look stick out like a goat in court, makes me wonder how Aniu knew this stuff, I might as well ask her.

"We're finished, We need to get going," Aniu stated as she saw me standing at the bottom of the stairs, she was carrying one of my suitcases, I had two packed to the brim with the dreaded gowns, what happen to good pair of jeans and t-shirts?

"Don't worry so much we packed jeans and shirts, this is just for when we arrive," Aniu stated, "half of them are for me as well, I have nothing but white and green"

"Green?" I repeated

"Green is the color nature, I'm a wolf and a healer so I like to dress to fit my calling." Aniu explained, her blue eyes clouded as she said it, I raised my eyebrow in question,

"I'll explain later, at home." Aniu replied.

I watch Alice and Aniu packed the trunk of Alice's Porsche, for some reason they wouldn't let me help, I sat in the front seat as Alice drove, Aniu was in the back.

I didn't understand anything about politics but I have to learn that from Sesshomaru, seeing as it was his job to teach me how to rule over demons, "Aniu, how much social standing do you have?"

"I'm a daughter of an Alpha male and female of the demon wolf tribe, I'm a princess as you guessed before. But I have no rights to claim leadership if something were to happen to each of my siblings. I abdicated my rights, so pretty much I'm still Highborn, so I either go by Lady or Healer Aniu depending on whose the reining lord or lady is, royalty is brutal, you have to see the venom coated fangs behind sliver tongues, it wasn't like that years ago, we're like human royalty now, but say the wrong words and the fangs will be felt." Aniu explained in a dull monotone, that wasn't like her at all. "You have more status then I do, and Embry has more status then Jacob does in demonic eyes,"

"Because I'm Heiress so the demons would see Embry as my intended," I figured out for myself,

"Yes, pretty boring, you sit and smile until your rear and lips go numb then you sit and smile some more," Aniu laughed a little,

so why am I doing this again? Oh right to save everyone else from dealing with a demonic army bend on taking me kicking and screaming back to Sesshomaru.

I thought of Charlie, would I ever see him again? We arrived back at the Cullens' house, and Jacob and Embry were already there, I skipped and launched myself into Embry's waiting arms,

"I take it you missed me?" Embry asked with a laugh,

"Every second I'm away from you," I replied,

Nessie came up to me, "You smell funny, you smell like a human?"

I froze my muscles locking into place, how could I have forgot about the wanning crescent being tonight.

"You think me phasing is something, you haven't seen anything yet." Jacob laughed, I growled at him.

"Elena, what does the wanning crescent have to do with you?" Edward asked coming up behind Jacob,

"I guess are travel plans are on hold for tonight." Aniu stated coming up with Alice,

"But why?" Emmett whined, he and Rose were coming as my bodyguards allow with Nessie, Jacob, and Embry, Edward and Bella. The rest were staying behind the make up excuses for why they were leaving, Shippo was staying behind to take them pass demon lands.

"I can't go anywhere when I'm full human," I stated,

for the next few hours, Sunset came and my body pulsed as I turned human. Praying my human blood didn't send any vampire into a state of thirst.
