Chapter 63

Princess Fallon

"That traitor!" Whispered Fallon as Cole grabbed her hand and led her out a bit far away, so they wouldn't hear them.

"We need to tell Derek right away." Said Cole as Fallon frowned.

"Do you want to go tell Derek now, or do you want to wait and see what else we can discover." Said Fallon as Cole shook his head.

"It's too dangerous, Fallon; we need to tell Derek now before they discover us!" Exclaimed Cole with a whisper.

"You there, pick up the sword and battle with me; it's time you get a test to see how good you are!" Exclaimed Levi as if this surprised them.

"I thought he had died." Whispered Fallon to Cole.

"No, he's in hiding; why do you think Derek send for me? So that I can uncover him, and I did, it took a while, but I did." Said Cole as they both looked at the battle; they were having the results shocked them.

"Not bad, but focus a bit more on concentrating, do that, and you'll be good." Said Levi.

"Brothers, I thank you for helping me take what is mine, and if we succeed, I will prize you with the best riches of all. Just remember my brother prince Tobias will be captured before killed, and king Derek is mine to kill." Said Levi as all the men cheered and applauded; suddenly, Fallon felt someone pull her away.

"Cole, we must go back and see what they're doing." Said Fallon, and Cole didn't listen to her; he kept walking while holding her arm.

"Cole? Cole!" She Exclaimed as he snapped.

"No! Princess Fallon, I don't think you understand how dangerous this is; this isn't a walk in the picnic for you. I could have stayed and watched, but I have you to take care of." He said as Fallon got frustrated.

"I don't need you to watch over me! I can take care of myself!" Exclaimed Fallon.

"I know you think you can take care of yourself, but you can't; you're a princess who has never been in nature nor know what you must do to suffer!" He Exclaimed as she was about to say something, but they heard a noise from the bushes and raced back to the castle.

She runs like there is no going back; she doesn't even look back till she hears a noise; it's one of the men they spotted from the camp at Levi.

He trapped Cole; she was going to help him, but he made her a sign to hide and leave.

"Leave him alone!" Said Fallon as she grabbed her bow and arrow and set it ready to let go.

"Ha-ha! Who are you supposed to be? Go run along, and I'll forget I ever saw you." Said the tall guy.

"I'll repeat it one last time; leave him alone, or you die here!" She said as the guy continued to laugh.

Without hesitation, she shot the arrow, which landed straight at the guy's chest, making him drop to the side; she looked at his dead corps on the side and then stared at Cole.

"You alright?" She Asked, still too upset with him.

"Yes. Thank you." He said as she nodded.

"We need to leave before anyone hears suspects and us; either way, theirs a robe tied to the tree, so this place is already recorded, and it's where no one can see it." Said Fallon as she continued walking.

Cole

He couldn't know what had just happened; he had insulted the princesses' skills, and in less than five minutes, she proved him wrong, she could have fled and left him, but she didn't.

She saved him, 'maybe I was wrong about her? Perhaps this girl has some potential in her after all.' He thought to himself. They had reached the palace, raced back, and knocked at the door where Derek was.

He knocked, and it opened to reveal Randolph, Derek, and Tobias.

"Cole? What can I help you with?" Asked Derek, he hadn't noticed that Fallon was still with him until Randolph said something.

"Fallon? What's wrong?" Said Randolph.

"We saw Levi. We found him." Said Cole as their eyes widened.

"You found him? Well, that very fast worked, Cole," said Derek.

"Do you know exactly where?" Asked Randolph as he was about to answer him, but Fallon spoke.

"Exactly, no. But we did tie a ribbon to one of the trees, so we would remember where we were." Said Fallon as Randolph raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean 'we?'" He said with a concerned tone.

"Papa!" Exclaimed Fallon as Derek chuckled.

"I asked him to take me on the run, and we went into the forest, and he found them, Derek; they are building an army to kill you." Said Fallon as Derek looked over at Cole; as he nodded.

"I believe this is true, sir." Said Cole.

"We would have stayed longer, but there was a bit of trouble." Said Fallon but was cut off by her father.

"What do you mean are you hurt?" Ask Randolph.

"Well, I don't know. I haven't checked yet or know, although he did tackle Cole pretty bad." Said Fallon as they were confused, and Cole knew he should be the one to explain.

"Princess Fallon helped me as one of the guys from Levi was about to kill me; she shot him with an arrow; I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for her." He said as Randolph and Derek were surprised.

"Fallon?! My Fallon in the forest and using weapons? Goodness, child, I barely even recognize you. How did she do?" Exclaimed Randolph with excitement.

"She did very well, sir; I would say an expert for someone who's never been to the forest in a long time." Said Cole.

"She takes after her father." Said Randolph with a chuckle.

"Derek... I'm really worried about you." Said Fallon as Derek shrugged.

"Don't worry, Fallon, everything will be alright, but I need a favor from you. Don't tell Genevieve any of you what you saw or heard. I don't want to risk having her in danger; as for Levi, don't worry, we have a plan for that, but I want to make sure Angel isn't listening." Said Derek as Cole nodded.

"We don't have to worry about that, today is his day off, and he's not here." Said Fallon.

Derek then told Cole the whole plan, and he too thought it was a crazy plan like Phoenix had said and tried convincing him, but there was no going back.

He was destined to finish this.
