Thanks for all the reviews for my Second chapter of my first fan fiction story. I am glad people are enjoying it. I am enjoying writing it.

Legal stuff: I do not own the 10th kingdom. I am not making any profit from this story.

The tall dark figure stared at the remains of his latest victim. She was farmer Hicktons second daughter. He remembered seeing her in the village earlier in the week. He specially remembered how beautiful she looked. Bright smooth skin, long lean legs, pert breasts. He knew the moment he saw her that he wanted to taste her flesh.

She had been so soft and sweet tasting. He felt no sympathy for her when he killed her. She was asking for it, by the way she was dressed, talked and acted about him when he was in the village.

Provocative, teasing, contemptible thing she was. She deserved all she got he thought.

The rest of his pack had moved away from the remains and were sleeping of the meal. They had had quite a feast: chicken, lamb, pigs and the farmer's daughter. But like always the wolves could eat more.

The wolf moved away from his pack into a secluded area. He then followed a small path, which was off to the side. At the end of the path there was a huge and towering Oak tree. He walked over to it and sat down under it and waited.

The wolf waited a long time and began to slowly drift of to sleep.

Then out of nowhere a voice spoke his name in a soft whisper:

'Bade.'

Out of the shadows of the forest came a bright light. It sparkled in the air and flew around Bades head. He stood up and bowed at the light in front of him.

It moved away from him and began to grow bigger and bigger. Then in a blaze of light, it transformed into a young woman with beautiful white hair. She had violet eyes and the most amazing smile. She wore a blue robe that seemed to be made up of the heavens. She had a dazzling aura around her body.

She held out her hand towards Bade.

'Bade.' She said. Her voice almost sounded like music.

'I didn't think you would come.' Said Bade as he took her hand and kissed it lightly.

'Of course I came. When I heard about what happened to Jaser. I had to see you where all right.'

Bade looked down. He didn't want her to see him like this. One small tear left his eyes and fell past his face on to the ground.

'My body is fine. But my heart is hurts so much!' The young woman clasped his chin with her long slender fingers and slowly raised Bades face to hers. She looked into his eyes.

'He was your closest friend. His slaughter by the humans is going to be hard on you. Bade you don't have to hide your emotions from me.' The sound of her voice brought a smile to Bades face. But it lasted for barely a moment. His smile cracked, under pressure from his raging feelings, then disappeared. His intense eyes started to fill up with tears.

'Astrid, what would I do with out you. I cant hide anything from you can I.' Murmured Bade trying hard as he could to hold back from howling like a cub.

Astrid held out her arms and encased Bade with in them. Bade held on to her tight.

' My dear sweet Bade. You are the strongest person I have ever met. Jasers death is a big blow to your pack but you must not let the humans brake you. You are the alpha male in a pack of over fifty wolves. That is a huge achievement specially when the pack hardly ever let in a half-wolf.'

Bade was warmed and irritated by Astrid's words. He pulled away from her. Pain and hatred was in his eyes. The hatred was not at Astrid, But the fact of what she said.

Bade was half-human. The fact that he was an imperfect wolf disturbed him greatly. Bade decided long ago that he wanted nothing to do with his human heritage.

That part of him died long ago.

Bade turn away from Astrid. His mind full of what humans had ever done to his kind, his family. He ran his hands through his thick hair. Something he did often when he was troubled. The memories came flooding back to him. Wolves being beaten, stabbed at, run out of town and burnt.

The screams of every wolf he had seen burnt alive rang in his ears. The pain, the fury and cries for mercy fell on deaf ears as the good villagers and the nice farmers would turn into a mob interested only in death. The smell of burning fur and wolf flesh would make him physically sick.

Bades eyes turned golden-yellow. He kept his voice controlled as he spoke.

'Jasers death was horrific. The same as all the other wolf deaths. I avenged his death tonight by killing that girl.'

Bade let out a sigh. But he thought it is not enough they all need to pay.

Astrid placed her arms around his waist and pushed her face into his hair.

'The humans deserve everything they get.' whispered Astrid into Bades ear.

Bade smiled. Astrid was always so supportive. I don't deserve such fantastic a female he thought.

'I have something to tell you. I didn't come here just about jasers passing away.'

Bade turned to face her. His blue eyes wide.

'What is it?' He asked curiously.

'It has hurt me so much watching the way humans treat your kind. I have spend along time looking for away to stop the humans. Now I believe I have found away.' replied Astrid.

'How?' asked Bade in breathless anticipation.

'There is a woman called Lavanda. She has information that will aid you in taking over the second kingdom.'

Bade took a step back in shock. Take over the second kingdom.

'Huff Puff' Said Bade. 'What do you mean take over the second kingdom.'

'If you ruled the second kingdom. Then you could rid the land of humans and then the wolves would have their own kingdom!' smiled Astrid. 'Just think of it Bade. No more having to hide in riding hoods forest any more, More land to bound in and the best part no more fearing the humans.'

Bades mind raced. She's right he thought if I ruled the second kingdom then I could banish all the humans. They would be the ones run out of the village this time.

'Lavanda.' Said Bade. ' The only Lavanda I have ever heard of is the woman who was Red Riding Hoods closest friend.'

'That is right. Most people think she is dead but she is not.' Alleged Astrid.

Astrid all of a sudden went pale, almost as if the life was being drained out of her.

'Oh no.' Cursed Astrid. 'I have used up all my power to get here. I need to go home now. I'm sorry.'

Astrid began to transform back into a bright light.

'But I don't know where to start looking for Lavanda.' said Bade.

Astrid voice came out of the bright light.

'I have heard that only the current Queen Riding Hood knows where she is. Good Bye my love. I believe in you.'

The bright light disappeared as quickly as it came.

'NO' yelled Bade. 'Don't go yet.' But it was too late she was gone.

Bade stood under the Oak tree in the dark and pondered what Astrid had said to him.

I'm not sure I can do this he thought. He shook his head at this thought. No if Astrid thinks I can do it then I can.

Bade smiled a devilish smile to himself and ran off in the direction of his pack.

The first thing we have to do he thought will be to kidnap Queen Riding Hood.
