Chapter 12

Mother night why did I have to end up with the most controlling father in all the Realms. She looked around her room and made a decision. Jumping into action Harmony started to pack. Thinking she was sly and could get away before someone came looking for her she headed toward the balcony.

"I think that was the most interesting dinner I have ever had."

"What do you want to do Daemonar?"

"You know I am sworn to protect you. I took an oath while you were still in the cradle. You remember I have told you it many times Harmony."

"Yes I know it Daemonar. "My blood shall be spilled before you shed a drop. I shall stay by your side until your death and steel will never touch your body before mine." That's it isn't it."

"If you know it that well then why are you trying to run into danger?"

"I'm not running into danger, I flying to it." Making her wings she launched herself into the night.

Swearing lividly Daemonar launched a second after Harmony had. "Harmony come back here, you're going to get hurt." She stopped and looked back at him.

"I won't hurt myself I promise."

He was so close to her. He could almost grab her. "I have to be with you to make sure you aren't hurt."

"I won't hurt myself so you can go home."

"I know you won't hurt yourself, it's the other people I worried about."

"Stubborn male." Flying forward again she only advanced a few feet before her wings were forcefully wrapped around her body.

"If I have to I will carry you back home to cool down."

"No you won't, were going down together."

Trying to figurer out what she was saying her arms shot out and pulled his wings closer to his body. "Don't do this Harmony. I don't want to hurt you."

"Your blood will be shed before mine Daemonar." Gracefully rolling in the air she made Daemonar roll with her so he would hit the ground first. "It's all up to you if you let me go I can fly away and you can stop yourself, or you can hold me tight and spill your blood for me."

The ground was coming closer and he didn't want her to hurt. He let her go.

Her wings spread and slowed their decent but she didn't let go. "You did the right thing Daemonar." His back hit the ground and she smiled at him. "I will be careful."

She launcher herself into the sky and disappeared in the stars. Tears streaming down his face Daemonar screamed. All the pain and sorrow of breaking an oath tore him apart. Screaming into the night he swore at her. "You know you need me Harmony." With that said Daemonar collapsed and lay there trying to figure out what Jaenelle would do to him.

"You know you need me Harmony." Daemon looked up and started to run toward Daemonar's anguished scream.

Instantly Lucivar swooped down directly in Daemon's path. "You can't go over there Daemon."

"Why the hell not prick?"

"Because Daemonar has to protect her. It's not your job. She'll be fine."

*Daemon, Lucivar I think you should get back here before Jaenelle throws a killer fit. *

*What's the matter father?"

*Harmony's room is empty. *

Daemon looked at Lucivar and Lucivar looked at Daemon. Without speaking Lucivar grabbed Daemon by his coat sleeves and flew as fast as he could back to the hall.

"Why would she empty her room father? Where could she possibly be going?"

"Calm down witch child. She can protect herself."

"Don't tell me to calm down, I'll calm down when I know where she's going."

Bursting into the door Daemon and Lucivar wanted to go back outside. "Jaenelle it's going to be okay. Daemonar is following her."

"Let's hope he can bastard, she can fly as fast as I can."

"What do you mean fly? Since when can my daughter fly?"

"Draca taught her Jaenelle. She's quite good at it."

Daemonar got up and spread his wings. She wasn't getting away that easily. He wasn't going to give up. It was his duty until she gave a consort ring to somebody. He felt her faintly to the west. She's heading for the keep. Launching to the sky he followed her hoping he would get there by dawn.
