Joren looked over at Cori and sighed, everyone else had been allowed out of their cages. "This isn't fair. Siren, Come on we've been good." Joren was reduced to pleading. She turned from her conversation with Sara and Cade. "So? Consider it pay back for all the times you were mean to me, to us…" she smiled an evil smile. "Besides I think I like you better when you're in there." Once again she turned back to talk to Sara and Cade.

If Secrets could kill…Ch 10: Annwn at last !

After riding for what seem like forever, Joren, Kel and the two small elflings approached the edge of the city.

Annwn, not a bad looking place, if you like flowers everywhere. Go figure the city looks like something out of a sappy fairy tale. Joren was right in his thoughts; the city did look like it was out of a sappy fairy tale.

Big leafy vines grew up the side of tall white buildings. Flowers of ever color grew out of pots and around the vines, window baskets were filled with pink and blue flowers. Each and ever flower looked different, some Joren was sure he had never seen, nor herd of before.

The road they stepped in on was cobblestone, a stretch that went on for blocks and led to a tall fairy tale castle. The castle looked white and big. Not much could be seen though because of the big wall made of a peach stone. The gate was that of shiny clean metal. What the hell? Not even a single piece of garbage on the ground. What are these people? Clean freaks? Joren's thoughts trailed off as they road a little farther into the city.

Kel had noticed the beauty of the land and city. It's so perfect here; nothing seems out of place. She smiled as they passed a group of on looking children, some giggling.

Wonder what's so funny? I guess we are and odd sight though, two humans in an Elven city. She smiled to herself; they were defiantly an odd group. She turned to the two children from her spot on Joren's saddle. "Where do you live in this big city?" Kel's question was gentle; she didn't want to scare the children off.

Cade looked over at Kel, he had deep green eyes and trunk brown hair, cut short, to his ears, his pointy ears sticking out from under the tip of hair. His soft voice was barely audible over the clank of hooves on cobblestone. "Right over there" he pointed to a store, it was connected to all the other stores on this row and Kel guessed the owners must live up stairs.

They rode over to the two-story building. Stopping, Joren jumped off the horse with ease allowing Kel slid from the saddle to the cobblestone ground.

Kel walked over to Peachblossom and helped Sara and Cade down. Out of the shop came a plump old lady; her ebony hair had streaks of silver-gray in it. She looked at the children as they ran up to her "mama, mama, Look what we found" Sara seemed more happy to show off the two humans then to be home.

Guess that makes sense she did keep asking questions after all. Kel's thoughts were interrupted by the mother's voice. "Children, you sure have a way of finding them." She looked up at the two humans. "Well, common then, since you're here you may as well stay. It's about dinnertime to. If you don't mind I can feed you all at the same time, common, no use standing out there. Won't get fed that way."

She motioned for them to go inside and for the first time Kel noticed that it was an inn. Wandering Way. Interesting name. Kel smiled as she walked towards the door Joren had already disappeared through, she was just about to go through when she saw a glimpse of red hair and green dress. Is that? No she wouldn't be caught dead on a horse with him. She continued to walk through the door, but you wouldn't have ever been caught dead on a horse with Joren either….

***

Cori looked down at the sleeping figure in front of him. Her head genitally nested in the crook of his arms. Some how she managed too slightly curl around him. Her bright red hair fanning out around her sleeping face and over her shoulders. She does look beautiful…when she's asleep. He smiled; she was a pure terror when awake. You just didn't get in Siren's way if you wished to live a long undisturbed life.

He rode his white horse up to the castle gates. All the way people gaped at the sight. Everyone new they utterly hated each other. But what shocked them more was the fact that he was back. When he reached the gates a tall slim elven youth came out off the small gate both. The youth gaped at Cori and finally stuttered. "r..r..right…th..this way yur majusty." Cori sighed, home; this will be about as much fun as watching the Princess.

Slowly he began to follow the youth to the front of the castle, careful not to wake the sleeping passenger; the last thing I need is Siren arguing with me.

***

Siren had slowly been woken up by Cori. She looked up into his unchanging royal blue eye's "are we there yet?" her question was more of a joke. She always said it to him, ever since he had been assigned to be her personal guard years ago. He was the best knight in all of Non-Avaloo and the kings champion and lucky him he had been assigned to guard the one girl he could never agree with. It made for very interesting journeys.

She yawned as he shook his head, "ok time to go act like the princess people tell me I am." She still hated being a Princess and it drove he nuts when he called her Princess, probably why he does it so often. He climbed off the horse and like the knight he was suppose to be offered her his arm.

She hated the thought, but here she was supposed to act like a Princess. With a death glare his way Siren took his arm as he lifted her down from the big white mare.

They now stood on the side of the castle, not to far from the stables. A holster came up and bowed low to the couple. "Your majesties, I shall take the horse for you. The King and Queen await your arrival." With that he took the horse and disappeared, did he say your Majesties? Before she could say any thing, Cori turned and began to walk, "don't want to be late, do you Princess?" she glared at his back thinking evil thoughts of pushing and stairs…

***

The King and Queen sat happily awaiting the arrival of the Princess and their son.

The Queen, a tall slender woman with silver-blond hair, turned to her husband, "how long has he been gone now?" the King scrunched up his brow in thought. He to had Silver blond hair. " Fifteen years." He smiled at the thought of his oldest son, so unlike his father.

The oldest Prince was not a full elf however. His mother, the Kings first wife had been a human women, very beautiful with long brown hair. In turn their son; the crowned Prince of the elf's looked more human then not.

He had been ten when he said he had wanted to be a knight. But in the land of the elf's, a kingdom scattered through the woods and forests of Non-Avaloo, there were no knights. Elves were usually archers or mages, not knights.

The few that were knights went to learn in the human courts. So at the young age of ten the Prince left for the city of Brea, Capital of Non-Avaloo and the Human world. They had decided it was best if he didn't tell any one of his background, the only ones who knew of the elven prince's identity were the King and Queen of Brea.

"They should be here soon Alauren." The king comforted the Queen, although she was not the prince's birth mother, she loved him like one would any son.

Through the big wood door strode the younger prince, Reynold. "There at the gates now mother, they will be here shortly." He smiled and found a seat on the cushioned sofa next to his father. Alauren sat in a matching red velvet chair.

They sat in the study. It was the Kings personal library and had books lining all the shelves.

Even Rey looked excited to see his older brother again. Although they had been very different, Rey liking his books, being a scholar and mage was his choice, his brother liking combat and being much more of a commander; the two brothers had been really close.

Rey had even been to the human castle once or twice to visit his brother, it had been an odd but fun experience. Rey looked nothing like a human, his white blue hair left long and his eye's an unnatural sky blue. His pointy ears poking out from behind his hair.

Rey waited anxiously for his brother and the human-half-god Princess, Siren was her name. I met her once but it was on strict business, never really got to talk to her. He smiled at all the story's his brother had told him about the outlandish princess and how he hated her…if only he knew… his smile broadened at the though of his ignorant brother…when will he realize he may have started out watching her for duties sake, but now he does it for something more…

Down in the stables at that very moment the two royalties stood squabbling…

***

After they had finished eating Joren and Kel were ready for bed. The innkeeper, Mari, mother of the two young elf children led them to a room. Smiling she unlocked the door, "will you two be needing anything, I hate to disturber young lovers such as yourselves at night." Kel glanced at Joren, and back to the lady, but Joren beat her to the question, "you think WE"RE a couple?" he looked mortified and shocked at the same time, Kel had on a similar expression.

Mari looked puzzled, "you aren't?" smiling she continued "that's to bad, ever since the Prince was due back the other rooms are all full save for the honeymoon room. There aren't even any cots left." She sighed and Kel and Joren just looked horrified, she thought we were a couple…Kel shivered at the thought of Joren and her being a couple. Great only one bed, I should probably sleep on the floor, knowing Joren he would make me anyway.

When the door opened they thanked the woman anyway and walked in to the room, dropping their bags near the door. Kel was about to volunteer herself for the floor but Joren looked up from his gaze on the bed and spoke, "you should take the bed Mindelan…" before she could question his motives he said. " Being a girl, delicate flower that you are, you need it more, and I really don't want to have to listen to you complain for the rest of this wonderful journey." He gave her a wicked smile and strode to the bathroom before she could comment.

***

Kel stood there, not knowing what to do…Joren is such a complete and utter asshole. Argh. Sighing she gave in and began to undress for bed.

***

Joren stood in the washroom…what the hell is wrong with me? Maybe it's a side effect of whatever is bothering my heart? I should get that looked at in the morning; Mari should know where I could find a doctor. Since when did I start caring where the Lump slept, delicate flower my ass. At least I made her angry. He didn't have to see it to know she hated it when people acted like she was a delicate girl who couldn't do anything. But somehow it didn't make him as happy as it used to…
