Chapter 2
Wendell paced the small apartment he had bought right next drop to Wolf and Virginia. He saw Gwen leave early and noticed that Wylie was following closely. He had hoped she would return quickly enough so that everything could get under way ad he could tell her the truth of who she is and where they really belong. He had also hoped that Wylie would ask for her sooner or later but he never did. All for the best though Wendell thought as he looked down into the streets of New York City.
Lost in thought Wendell barely caught sight of Gwen and Wylie as they ran across the street into the building. Something wasn't right they were drenched. Only minutes until they were on the floor and he could scold the two of them for their carelessness.
"Dad I'm home! Wylie was with me so don't worry. I need to go shower and change though it was raining and now I feel disgusting. Wylie at his house now."
With that Wendell knew he would get nothing more out of her and left for Wylie. He knocked on the door three times before Wylie opened it. Wylie was toweling his hair dry and was without a shirt showing his dominating and intimidating body that towered over Wendell.
"Mr. White quick inside I have to tell you something."
Wendell walked inside and Wylie quickly shut the door and walked to the window and pulled the blinds.
"Listen you might want to sit down...Ok anyways I was talking last night to Gwen and she said she had plan to do something today without your permission and I knew she was going for the portal; so I followed her this morning. She went through but I tried to stop her from going in. We went through and she asked why she was never allowed to go through the portal, and it started to rain and I kissed her but then something happened..."
"Wait you kissed my daughter! Is that what you said because I believe that is what you said?"
"Umm yes but that's not what is important listen while we were there..."
"Not important? I'm sorry Wylie but I beg to differ this is very important you took it upon yourself to kiss my daughter the future queen of the fourth kingdom! And you don't think that that is important?" Wendell stood up knowing that he could never win in a fight against Wylie nor did he want to fight him. He was glad to see that something had happened between his daughter and Wylie but for Wylie to say it meant nothing was too much and an insult.
"Please your highness it isn't going to be if you don't return soon to your kingdom, because there may not be a kingdom to return to if you don't go back now! Please I felt it, I felt death and war and evil while I was there. We came back as soon as I felt it. I knew you would want to know."
Wendell collapsed back into the sofa with the sudden news of the declining state of his kingdom. He had left the kingdom in the hands of his advisors, and they knew that he would be gone for eighteen years so that his child would not be raised like he was to be spoiled. The tenth kingdom had been good to all of them he liked to think. In truth it had.
"Are you sure Wylie? Are you sure your feelings were not just confused by other things?"
"Yes sir. I know what I felt. Sir I realize I said something that is important and all my life I have been told that I should never ask for Gwen or pronounce my love for her but now I see that I must because I have ruined her honor and mine in your eyes but I do love her sir."
"Thank you Wylie. I have always wanted you to ask for her though. I will talk with Gwen and tell her everything thank you."
"That's probably best you highness. You should return as soon as possible though."
"Yes we will return as soon as her mother returns from shopping with your mother. Also you will return as well you will be named her betrothed and will begin training to become future King."
"I worry though sir. That portal is still open and that could mean someone could come through and create a lot of trouble here in the tenth kingdom."
"Yes I know, this means that Gwen is not safe. I will need you to go over to the apartment while I hunt down my wife and your mother. Take care of her Wylie. Oh also give her these clothes and change into your nine kingdoms clothing as well."
"I will your highness."
Wendell stood and left quickly, leaving Wylie to search for his clothes. Once dressed he made his way over to Gwen's home. The door was cracked open and through the mirror next to the door he could see overturned furniture and broken picture frames.
"Gwen!"
