Chapter 4: The Mystery

When I came around I was in the medical ward of my palace. I was still particularly weak and had trouble moving. I felt the urge to however, due to the ruckus outside the door. Two male voices were in a heated argument over my well being. The first time I attempted to get up a wave of dizziness washed over me, and I was forced to sit back down. The second time however, I was able to walk to the door.

As I opened the door I saw a familiar blue figure holding Zander to the wall with his claws to his throat.

"Unhand me you hideous brute."

"Not until you let me see Andromeda."

"There is no need for this."

They both turned around as I placed my hand on Raziel's shoulder.

"Andromeda!?" They both cried in unison.

"Are you so surprised to see me?"

"You should be in bed my empress. Not walking the halls like some child."

"Zander I'm sure I can tell if I am well enough to walk and perform my duties."

"Perform duties?! My lady if you will excuse me, you aren't even well enough to be walking around let alone duties."

At this point in the argument Raziel decided to intervene.

"Andromeda, though I would not like to admit it this whelp speaks the truth. You should not be wandering around like this."

"Since when do you two get to decide what I can and can not do? Especially you Raziel. Since when are you my keeper? Never mind I don't want an answer, I will deal with the two of you after my duties are complete."

With that I ran passed them before they could question me. I really couldn't believe what they had wanted me to do. Rest? That was out of the question. I couldn't just sit by while my people tried to hold off the vampires by themselves could I?

Contemplating these thoughts I entered my chambers to change and to put on my crown. My room was still a catastrophe from the scuffle with the vampires. But I found everything I needed except my crown. I looked everywhere for it. It was nowhere to be seen.

My crown and the jewels upon it were a symbol of our peace. If I didn't find it soon my kingdom would be in an uproar.

A/N: Well, sorry to say it but this chapter sucked. Please review if you want more chapters.
