Chapter 3

A chance encounter.

Elsa

"Lady Queen, it is time for you to rise!" I opened my eyes to see sunlight shining through my window. Kai placed a tray on my bed, "Did you sleep well, Lady Queen?" No, I had nightmares of losing my family…again. I shuddered slightly, "yes, of course." I took a sip of my tea, "Is this a new flavor?" I asked Kai, "Yes, it was gift from the King of Spain. He sends his well wishes and he is most excited to see you at the summit." I nodded, inwardly hating the tea. It was a weak mix.

I placed the cup down and cut a piece of my boiled egg. I slowly chewed as Kai rambled on about the summit, "Lady Queen? Yes? Are you paying attention?" I cleared my throat and swallowed the egg, "Yes." He nodded, "The Knight's ceremony begins tonight. Many of the participants have already arrived." I nodded, "Lady Queen," he bowed, "Gerda will be only a moment." I nodded, and waved him away. Bowing again he left. Lady Queen…I'm only fourteen, soon to be fifteen but still…I ran my hands through my messy hair.

"Good morning Lady Queen!" I looked to see Gerda walking in. I nodded at her, "You will be meeting with your people today," she said grabbing a purple and black dress from my closet. "The Council has decided to dispel your meetings today. You deserve a day of recreation." I nodded, "Lady Queen? Yes?" I checked my nails, "Are you well?" I looked to my handmaid, "I'm fine, just tired." She sighed and placed my dress on a nearby chair. She sat on my bed, and put her hand on my hair. "You're trembling," I looked at my hands, I had a slight tremor. "Elsa," I was surprised that she used my name so causally, "What?" I murmured, "Are you alright with the ceremony tonight?" I looked at Gerda, her face so familiar. She helped raise my mother, Anna and I, "It doesn't matter what I feel." I swung out of my bed, and went to the window, "I belong to Arendelle. I will always put it first."

I put my hand on the window, "Arendelle rose with a Queen, and Arendelle will fall with a Queen." I heard Gerda get off the bed and I saw her reflection, "And you're dead set on being the fallen Queen, aren't you?" I heard pain in her voice. "I miss them," I whispered. Gerda sighed, "We all miss your family. They were good people. And," I bit my lip, "They may have survived if we had an armada of knights to protect us. The only reason you're picking a knight is because you acknowledge that someone is a real threat to you." I closed my eyes, "You know that they would have never wanted you to pick a knight. To make an unbreakable vow. To bind yourself to one single person for the rest of your life, Elsa, please. You could be killed by this person. Think of your own safety!" I bit the inside of my cheek, "That was relevant when the future of Arendelle didn't rest on my shoulders alone." I sighed, and Gerda placed her hand on my arm, "Elsa you're only fourteen. I will be fifteen at the strike of midnight. You should be thinking of suitors and lessons not being prepared to put your life in the hands of a stranger." I held my hand up to her, "Silence. I will put aside my own needs for Arendelle. What about your future family, your future children? Will you push them aside for Arendelle?" I ground my teeth together, "I just want to make my parents proud," and I turned to look at her, "Is that so wrong?" Gerda covered her mouth, fighting back tears, "You're still so young…" I felt the room grow colder, "I want to get ready," I walked to the dress and picked it up. "Gerda…," I looked over my shoulder to see my handmaid looking at me, "Of course El- Lady Queen."

I was sitting on my throne looking at the throngs of people waiting to speak with me. I recognized every face; I've grown up with these villagers. They all fell to their knees and greeted me. I nodded and gestured for them to stand up, "Good morning," I smiled. They all smiled at me, "Would everyone please form a straight line please?" They all nodded and stepped into formation, "Kai," I turned to my butler and nodded at him. He gestured the first person, a new face. "Please state your name, and what you wish." He nodded and took his hat off, "Good morning Lady Queen." I nodded at him, "My name is Edward Bunker. My wife, Gloria, and my son Michael would like to give you this," he gestured for his wife and son forward; his son had a bouquet of flowers in his arms. I gestured his son forward, and he did an adorably clumsy bow, "Lady Queen," he stuttered, and he handed me the bouquet. "My father has recently opened a flower shop in the village and this is most beautiful bouquet in our shop. Our final bouquet of the season." Roses and violets, I gently sniffed the flowers, "What a thoughtful gift. Thank you." I smiled at the boy and he smiled back at me. "Have a wonderful day, Lady Queen." He bounced off to his family, and I had to stifle my laughter.

As my subjects continued their well wishes, I felt a seizing in my heart. I remembered sitting at the feet of my parents' thrones with Anna next to me. We were always happy when the villagers came to visit us. They were always so kind and respectful. "Lady Queen? Yes?" It was the leader of the town, his name…Um… Charles Swifter! "On my behalf, we would all like to thank you for your invitation to your party this evening. Of course, you are all my loyal subjects." I smiled at them, "You all shall be rewarded," He bowed to me. "You are our loving Angel, Lady Queen." My heart seized up, but I just nodded, and my subjects filed out of the throne room.

"Lady Queen? Yes," I rubbed my temples. "Are you well? Yes, fetch me a cloak. I wish to take a walk in my gardens." I stood up and Gerda returned a minute later with one of my fur trimmed-cloaks in her arms. She offered it to me, "Lady Queen would you like a book to read in your gardens? No," I slung my cloak over my shoulders, "I simply wish to see my gardens. If I wish for a book," I adjusted the hood, and swept my bangs away from my face. "I will call if I need anything." Kai and Gerda nodded. Kai opened the side door and they both bowed as I walked out.

As I was walking in my garden admiring my flowers, I looked to the sun. Despite the winter air, it was a pleasant day. I could hear the cries of joy from the village children in the distance. "It is a most beautiful day. Wouldn't you say, Lady Queen?" I looked to my left to see… "Captain Hans," I nodded at him and he rose from the bench he occupied. "Yes, the clean winter air is so refreshing." I said. He plucked an ice rose and offered it to me, "for you Lady Queen." I took it and twirled it between my fingers, "That's quite the creation you have Lady Queen. Thank you," I stared at my ice rose. Since winter was the 'killer' season for plants, I froze flowers right before the cold season so my gardens would be fruitful and beautiful in the winter, even though I preferred winter above all other seasons…Obviously. "Lady Queen, are you excited for your birthday tomorrow? Um," I bit my lip, "Of course. It's an important event. Yes," Hans said. "Lady Queen," he took my hand, "I have been your loyal Councilman for two years," he ran his thumb across my knuckles, "and I wish for you to know that I," he looked into my eyes, "will always be by your side. Thank you," I said feeling uncomfortable, "Captain Hans. I hope you will always serve as my loyal Councilman," his eyes darkened and I pulled my hand out of his grip. "Have a good day Captain Hans." He nodded, "Yes, Lady Queen," he bowed and we went in opposite directions. Ugh! I shuddered; thank God I was wearing gloves! I shuddered again and quietly continued my walk.

"No fair!" I looked up to see the village children staring up at teenage boy. I slowly drew off my gloves and walked to the children, "What the devil is going on here?"" At the sound of my voice the village children fell to their knees. "Lady Queen." I nodded and they stood up. One of the smallest children stepped forward and grasped my skirt, "He took our ball!" She pointed to the stranger, and he stared back at me, "State your name. Dimitri Weasalton," I recognized the last name. "My uncle is a close trade partner of Arendelle." I nodded, "And I," he bowed, "am here for the Knight's ceremony. I wish to serve you Queen Elsa." I glanced at the children, they looked so unhappy, "I want the ball." I held my hand up, and he reached into his coat pocket. He seemed to be about to toss it to me, but thought better and placed the toy in my open palm. "Thank you," I lowered my hand, "You are dismissed." He nodded slightly, and stalked off in anger. I bent down and looked the young child. "Here," I whispered, offering her the toy. She looked up at me, and I nodded. With shaking hands, she took it. "Have fun children," they all bowed me, "and be safe." I almost whispered. They all nodded and ran off. I sighed and sat on a bench.

The little girl, she reminded me of Anna so much. I clasped my shaking hands, and closed my eyes, seeing my little sister's green eyes lit up in excitement. "Lady Queen?" I opened my eyes, choking back a sob. "Yes? Your presence is requested in the royal apartments." I inwardly sighed; it has always been the royal apartments, never my royal apartments. No one would ever truly see me as Queen, just a lost little girl… "Of course," I stood up and followed the guard.

Jack

"Jack…" she whispered. I was standing on the top of a mountain, the moon my only light. I looked over my shoulder, "Jack." Her face hidden by her fair hair. "Yes? Are you near me? What?" She laughed softly, "When will you arrive, my love? Arrive where? Where," she stepped closer and put her hand on my face, "Where I am. I need you Jack. I'm," she looked down, her arms crossed protectively around her lithe figure, "I'm so alone Jack," she whispered. I reached to brush hair away from her face. "Tell me where you are," I placed my hands on her face, "please." She looked at me and I saw two pieces of ice staring back at me.

I jerked awake, panting. Wiping the sweat from my brow I looked around, the sun was just on the horizon, and I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. It has been two months since I left the Institute and the cold December wind bit through my blanket. The dreams, they have become more and more frequent. I ran my hands through my hair; I was in desperate need of a haircut…

I folded my mat and blanket and put them into my pack. Slinging it over my shoulder, I continued trekking through the forest. I didn't know where I was going, or if I had anywhere to go. The thought of returning to the Institute ran across my mind again, but what did I have there...? A mother who loathed the very thought of me, a fiancée who didn't even love me, my fiancée's lover and Bunny. I missed my parabatai but… he would try to make me stay in that hellhole. I just couldn't take it anymore!

"What am I doing?" I asked no one. "I don't know," I looked up and he jumped down from a tree, "I do know that you are a first- rate lowdown no-good bastard." He stepped forward and cuffed me upside the head. "Bunny," I smiled. My parabatai scowled at me. "Why?" He crossed his arms, "why did you leave?" I sighed, and looked down. "I know you want me to apologize but…" I lifted my hands in a helpless fashion, "I can't Bunny." He stared at me, long and hard. "Mate," he ran his hand over his face in a tired way, "You have your obligations." He lifted his left hand up as if to emphasize the point. I growled and threw a stone against a tree. "She betrayed me!" I screamed and Bunny's eyes widened, "No- Yes! She betrayed me and," I began breathing harshly, "She's in love with Reed." I hissed. "Reed?" Bunny did not sound convinced, "Yes!" I whipped hair away from my face, "I mean… of all men she could've chosen… She chose Reed!" I spit, "It's disgusting. How an innocent girl like her could chose the Devil's spawn over me!" I turned to stare at my best friend. "Just the thought of it makes me sick- Do you love her?" I paused and stared at Bunny. "Do you love her?" I bit my lip, "well…" I bit my lip, "No but- Mate," Bunny stepped forward and placed his hand on my shoulder, "I can understand why you're in such disarray over Ora but you don't love her and she obviously doesn't love you. So- no," he held his hand up, "Hear me out. You are upset that she betrayed you? Of course- Is your heart broken?" I stopped and closed my eyes. "No… Then just break the engagement with her and come back home- Why? What's there for me?" I turned to him, "I'm selfish. I know," I ran my hands through hair, "Bunny, ever since Emma died…" My heart began to ache, my little sister's innocent face floating in my mind, "Ever since she died, Mother has hated me. Mate," Bunny sat down, "I know your mother is harsh but she couldn't hate you. You're her son, her first born. There's no way- Really," I sat down and began plucking at grass. "When was the last time you saw her give me any kind of affection? Ever?" Bunny looked down, his red hair flowing in the wind, "…No." I crossed my arms. "Exactly," I stood up and brushed dirt from my pants. I turned back to the woods when Bunny grabbed my arm, "wherever you go Mate," He stared me in the eye, "I'm going with you." I smiled, "Thanks." We clasped hands, and he smirked. "Where are we going to go?" He asked, as I adjusted my daggers in their sheaths. "I don't have any real place planned." Bunny snorted, "What a fool-proof plan. It's a working progress." I said with a smirk.

Bunny stretched, and I was struck with an idea, "I hear that's there a Downworlder bar outside Arendelle," I said. Bunny cocked an eyebrow, "Arendelle's a hotspot for Downworlder gossip," the corner of my mouth tilted upward, "all the more reason to visit Arendelle." Running my hand through my hair once, I stepped backward and flipped onto a raised trunk. I unsheathed one of my daggers and pointed it to the sun, "To Arendelle!"

Jump cut

I raised my head, sniffing at the air. I lifted my arm, stopping Bunny. "What?" I sniffed at the air again, "Do you smell that?" I whispered. He raised his head, "Warlock powders." He whispered his shoulders tense. "Should we…" I jutted my head toward to the shady old bar only a short distance away. He nodded, and we made our way to the Downworlder den.

"Chiller's Bone," I murmured. Bunny snorted, "How original." He muttered. I nodded in agreement, and we slowly walked into bar. Sweeping my eyes over the area, I saw werewolves, a few vampires, and an abundance of warlocks and fey. "Vampires, and werewolves together in the same room," I murmured. "Not a single glare has been exchanged," Bunny sounded amazed. I stepped forward to the bar, with all the Downworlder's freezing as I past them. Sitting on a stool, I unsheathed my knife and twirled it on the counter. "Who runs this establishment?!" Bunny's voice ran clear. Smirking I turned around, and turned around, my runes very clear through my shirt. "Nephilim," a vampire hissed. I raised my knife and pointed it at the bloodsucker, "Do you run this bar?" He hissed his eyes narrowed in a challenge.

"Gentlemen!" A bronze figure stepped forward, his hair seemingly purposefully disarray, "There's no need to fight!" He smiled at me, his bejeweled fingers twinkling in the dim light. "I'm afraid we haven't met," the man stepped forward, his hand outstretched. As he got closer, I saw his eyes were like a cat's, "Warlock," I muttered to Bunny who nodded, his own arms crossed and his boomerangs out. The warlock smiled, "Yes, I am warlock." He bowed, "Magnus Bane," He raised his hand, blue sparks flying from it, "at your service." I rolled my eyes, "Now," Magnus straightened up, "What business does the Nephilim have herewith my humble abode?" I glanced around, expensive interior, and beautiful women in very reviling dresses walking around, whispering in the ears of men. "Yes," I said with a smirk, "Very humble." Magnus jumped over the bar and rested his elbows on the bar, "The Angel's children in a Downworlder bar. This is a first for me," He leaned forward, "What kind of drink gentlemen?" I twisted in my seat, and Bunny sat hesitantly next to me, "I'll have a mug of ale." Bunny muttered his hair coming loose from the ponytail. "And your friend," Magnus rested his chin in his hands, "spring eyes," He said dreamily. Bunny stiffened slightly, "Um," I bit my lip, "Ale too." I muttered, and he winked at Bunny. "Coming up," he snapped his fingers, and two mugs appeared in front of us. We both nodded as thanks, and took a drink.

"Magnus love," A purple skinned girl jumped onto the bar, and stroked the warlock's cheek, "Lilia," He said with a smile, "The celebration nears." Magnus laughed lightly, "It'll be a wonderful night," Lilia nodded. Bunny glanced at me, surprised. Fey and Magnus interacting, almost lovingly? Lilia leaned over and whispered something the bronze skinned warlock, and he smiled. "The fey and the Infamous Magnus Bane being friendly," Bunny asked, leaning forward slightly, "From all the news I've heard, you and the Seelie court don't get along well. Oh," he waved his hand, "The fey and I have always been in the Queen's favor." I cocked an eyebrow, "You're contradicting yourself now." He raised an eyebrow, "Oh," He smiled, "You think I mean the Seelie Queen." He chuckled, "Silly boy," he shook his head, "I mean," he leaned forward, "My Queen," Lilia nodded, who?" I asked with interest, "Our beautiful Lady of Winter," he said sweeping his arm. "Lady of Winter," Bunny asked, wiping ale from his mouth. Lady of Winter… the mountain girl flashed in my mind, her ice blue eyes resting in the edge if my mind.

Magnus and Lilia smiled, "Our Lady of Winter," Lilia leaned against Magnus, "She resides in this," she twirled her finger, "kingdom." I straightened my back, and Magnus noticed this. He smirked and looked at Bunny, "Lilia what does the Seelie Queen say of this?" Lilia laughed, and stretched, "She adores the Snow Queen."

What do you two actually want?" Magnus asked, looking at me. Bunny and I glanced at each other, "I want…" Tracing my finger on the rim, "a challenge," Bunny cocked an eyebrow, and looked at me. "Oh," Magnus tapped his chin, cat-like grin on his face, "I have quite the challenge for you." He flicked my nose, "Tonight there is a ceremony at the palace, and I want you to attend it with me." I leaned back a little, "You want me to go as your date?" He laughed, "No. I am going to present you as a gift to my Queen." Bunny choked into his drink, "As her what…?" Magnus and Lilia laughed, "The Queen is hosting a Knight's ceremony for her birthday."

I leaned forward, intrigued, "A Knight's ceremony? Yes," Magnus put his elbow on the table, "I would love to present you, Edward," Bunny stiffened. "But- How do you know my name?" Magnus pouted, "You really don't remember me?" I turned to look at Bunny, "Remember what?" Magnus shook his head, "I was called to the Overland Institute to heal you when you were a child." Bunny blinked, and recognition dawned across his face. "Yes…" Magnus smiled, "It was a horrible poison," he smiled, "I'm glad you're in good health." Bunny nodded. "Alright Jack," he turned to me, "The Knight's ceremony is tonight- Why me?" I asked, "You're the Queen's type." I nodded slightly, "How many battles must I endure to win?" This made Magnus laugh and shake his head, "There will be no battles, this is a political act. Then what is my challenge," Magnus smiled like a cat, "You must impress the Queen."

Elsa

"You look magnificent Lady Queen," Gerda placed the crown on my head. "I feel it is a little…" I brushed the striped midnight blue skirt down, "Revealing," Gerda adjusted the straps on the sides of my shoulders, "This is a traditional gown," I didn't like how my arms were bare, and- and just out there. "Are you attempting to marry me off?" I glanced at my handmaid who just chuckled, "Why," she placed a hand over her heart, "I would never…" I laughed, just a little bit.

A knock at the door made my laughter stop, "Yes?" I called out, "It is Kai," I nodded at Gerda, and Kai swept into the room. "Lady Queen," he bowed. I nodded, "Sir Bane has arrived." I smiled, "perfect," I said. "Send him in," The maids twittering about my room cleaning it, looked up scandalous. "As you wish Lady Queen," he bowed and then left.

I dismissed Gerda and the other maids. "I could write a thousand poems about the beauty of this world, but your smile would burn them all." I couldn't help but smile as I saw the bronze figure leaning against the doorway. "Magnus," Standing up I swept across the room into Magnus's arms. "Dear Elsa," He brushed hair away from my face, "You grow more beautiful every day," I smiled. "Such a charmer," I said shaking my head in mock dismay. "Only for you," He kissed each of my cheeks, "And every single one of your lovers." I said, making Magnus smile his cat-like smile. "You look absolutely stunning Elsa." I sat down on my divan, "Thank you." Magnus sat next to me, and squeezed my hand, "Are you well?" I shrugged and leaned against him, needing comfort. "More nightmares," He asked quietly. I nodded my head, "They're so real…" I whispered. "You could forget it," he whispered. I looked up, "My offer is always on the table." I shook my head, "I can never forget." Magnus smiled sadly, "You're too stubborn." I smiled. "You love me for it."

Magnus pulled me over to the full body mirror, "It's a lovely dress, but," He brushed the skirt down, "It's a tad plain for the Snow Queen," I cocked an eyebrow. Magnus waved his hands and my skirt and bodice began to shimmer. "Like snow falling in the night sky." I spun around once, "Its…amazing." I whispered, "You're still a teenager." He smiled, "You deserve to have your fun." I clasped my hands behind my back, feeling slightly embarrassed. "Did you bring a contestant?" I asked, fixing my necklace. "Yes," he rolled his eyes, and smiled, "He's just a treat." I bit my lip, "is he horrible?" Magnus shook his head, "Just a sixteen year old boy," I nodded. "Is he worth my time?" I asked, twirling a loose strand of hair between my fingers, "No man is worth your time but," he smiled, "If I had to suggest a man to waste your time," he smiled, and walked to the door, "the boy's entertaining enough."

Jack

"Magnus," I muttered. "What?" He straightened his gold and red waistcoat, "Why do I have to be so…" I raised my hands in a helpless fashion, "So stylish?" Magnus asked, checking his hair in the small mirror, "No… foppish?" Magus straightened his back, "You look stylish." I looked down at myself, a silver waistcoat with a black trim, knee high black pants and white gloves with my family ring over it. My boots were too expensive and well-kept compared to my old scuffed up boots. "You look proper enough to be here." I shrugged feeling hopeless, "I'm going to lose this challenge…" I muttered, and Magnus smacked me upside the head, "As long as I am with you, you have a chance." I straightened my own coat, "Go," Magnus muttered. I stepped into the well-lit ballroom. Clearing my throat, I swept my hair back and walked into the crowd.

"Where's the Queen?" I asked Magnus, "It's not time for her to come out yet." I nodded, feeling nervous with all the nobles glancing at us with curiosity and disdain, "The nobles don't seem to like us. They know to respect me," Magnus whispered, taking a champagne flute off the tray of a passing waiter, "They don't like you." He took a sip of his drink, "Why? I didn't do anything," I muttered. "The nobles do not appreciate unfamiliar faces." Magnus clapped me on the shoulder. "Don't worry," he said, "I put a good word in for you with the Queen." I froze, "What did she say?" I asked, feeling slightly proud. "I'm not allowed to disclose that information." He whispered, and I scowled. "Aw, is the little Nephilim desperate for attention." I glared at him, and damn annoying cat-smile. "Shhhh," Magnus pressed his finger to his lip, as a figure stepped forward, "Presenting Queen Elsa of Arendelle!" All the people bowed to her, and she sat on a white throne. Hm, I scrunched my eyebrows, where's the king? She raised a hand, nodded to the bald-man standing near her and we all straightened up, "Welcome all!" He began, "We are here to celebrate our Queen's birthday and to find her a knight, guardian and all around protector to insure our Queen's long life!" The people cheered, and the Queen smiled, "Please," the man raised his hands, "Celebrate and enjoy your night!" The people cheered again, and the musicians began to play.

Magnus cleared his throat and indicated to the Queen now interacting with her guests. "What," I muttered and Magnus rolled his eyes, "Make a good first impression!" He hissed and shoved me forward. "…Yes," she nodded in agreement to the question, and then glanced over and saw us.
"Stand up straighter," Magnus whispered under his breath, and I fixed my apparent horrible posture. "Excuse me," she left the man and walked toward us. "Magnus," she smiled warmly at the warlock and then looked at me. "Hello," she smiled. She's… so beautiful. I've never seen a more gorgeous woman in my life. Her hair hanging around her face, a pale blonde curtain, framing her beautiful face. The lights from the diamond chandelier dancing in her sparkling…ice eyes, my heart starting thumping unevenly, and I realized… I want her…

Elsa

I looked at the brunette boy standing before me; he had a half-smile on his face, but a strange look in eyes. I just extended my hand keeping what I hope is a polite smile on my face. He took my extended hand and placed a chaste kiss on it. He's forward… "Hello your majesty," his dark blue eyes looking at me through his long eyelashes. I laughed slightly, "It is pleasure to make your acquaintance." His smile was adorable, "The pleasure is all mine." I realized he was still holding my hand, and I was not bothered by it. I met his eyes, and I felt a weight lift off my chest. His lips were forming a word when- "Lady Queen," Magnus said. Jumping slightly, I quickly pulled my hand away and placed both my hands behind my back. Magnus smirked, "I'm glad you're getting acquainted with…" he turned to the boy, "Did you introduce yourself." He looked away and blushed slightly. Magnus sighed, "Lady Queen," he turned to me and smiled, "I present Jackson Nikolai Frost." Jackson bowed. "Nikolai," He nodded, "Are you Russian? Yes," Jackson nodded again, "On my father's side." I nodded, and grabbed a champagne flute, "It was wonderful meeting you Jackson," I took a sip, fine champagne. "I must go mingle with my other guests." I pat his forearm, feeling his muscles ripple slightly. He smiled, and kissed my hand, "I hope we may discuss later." I smiled, and nodded, "Of course." I walked away, our hands slowly dragging away.

Jack

I sighed sadly, seeing her move away, her lithe beautiful figure weaving through the crowd. "Close your mouth," Magnus said, chuckling, "You don't want any flies flying in." I glared at him, "You never told me the Queen would be so…" I took a deep breath and ran my hand through my hair, "so… so enchanting." I whispered. Magnus laughed, and shook his head. "You look so lost without her." I bit my lip, "She's…" I sighed. "Here," Magnus handed me a drink, "relax." I glanced over his shoulder; Elsa was walking outside onto the balcony. "I'll be right back." Without hearing his answer, I quickly walked to the balcony, seeing her lean against the railing. I silently walked up next to her, and she smiled at me. "Jack may I ask you a question?" I nodded, "What is a Nephilim doing in my court?"

A/N She knows! I adore suggestions, theories, reviews, and constructive criticism. Bye love y'all XOXO.
