Chapter 8

Alexander's POV

"Well, umm, uhh…" Isabella stammered on. I grabbed her shaky hand.

"Whatever it is, we'll help you. Once you've got Fergus and me, you'll always have us." She took a deep breath.

"Ok, I guess I should start all the way at the beginning. There was a prophecy told about me shortly before I was born. Seeing that my mother was who she was, I was expected to be stronger, wiser, everything times ten. After that was made, there were threats after threats piling into the house. We finally went into hiding; we only resurfaced two years ago, under my urging." she took another shaky breath.

Neither Fergus nor I said anything.

"I have been kidnapped multiple times, cut, beaten, but my mom always saves me," she have smiled, but as soon as it was there, it was gone, replaced with a grim expression. "For a while after my birth, when it was really bad, our house was surrounded my wards and witches twenty-four seven. We always knew who it was, the vampire and werewolves alike that would attack, usually only pure-bloods and the Lamia. Made vampires could really careless."

I finally moved to sit next to her.

Isabella's POV

I kept getting the flashes that I thought I had left behind, from the time before the hiding.

"How old when you the first time you were kidnapped?" Fergus asked softly.

"I believe I was three weeks old, a Lamia had snuck into the house, after killing one point of our star, he made it inside, and I was only taken a few miles down the rode before they caught up with it. It was only the beginning of the trouble."

**FLASHBACK**

"Come out little girl, we just wish to play." the creepy voice sang out. I tired to hold my breath as long as I could, making as little nose as possible.

"Come out girl, we'll find you soon enough." another man's voice rang out. Just then I heard someone move the box I was hiding between, it was the first man. I started to scream just as my mother had taught me when a stranger had me. My voice burst out, sounding like a thousand voice screeching voices. Both men moved back, and then fell to the ground. I could hear windows bursting, but once I saw both men unconscious, I ran for it, out into the dark alley way then into the street when an arm grabbed me.

"Honey, calm down, it's me. It's Daddy."

I turned and hugged him as strong as I could. Knowing, for know at least

**END FLASHBACK**

"How many times have you been taken?" Alexander asked almost as softly as Fergus.

"Twenty-six to be exact, twenty-seven if you hadn't been there." I looked up at Alexander; I could see the huge look of concern and worry in them.

"But I was lucky; I was born with several unique talents. I can increase my voice, into highly increase levels. I cast extremely strong wards, and also my ears are increased in hearing levels as well. For example, you have a dog living 4 houses down, and you have a few mice in the attic."

Alexander looked a little surprised. I just smiled at him.

"So," I took a deep breathe, "To answer your question, that's why the men were after me. They were probably work men for an old Lamia family. They always thought I would be the end that let the knowledge of the Night World out."

"Then why haven't I ever heard of this?" Alexander looked very confused.

"Let me guess, you grew up on one of the islands of the east coast?"

"Yes, but mostly in Ireland."

"Must younger generations haven't heard of me, it was usually just the older Lamia that live in this world, not the islands."

"Oh,"

"Yeah," I got up and started to walk towards the stairs, realizing my chances of being with Alexander went from slim to none. I mean seriously, who would want to be in a relationship with someone that was in constant danger.

Fergus's POV

"I had heard stories, but I didn't think they were true." I said turning to Alexander.

"Do you know anything about the prophecy she talked about?"

I shook my head no, "But I'm sure I could find out, I have several friends in high places."

"Do you think you could do that for me?" He asked.

"Of course, I go right now." I left Alexander there, hurrying to find the prophecy.

Alexander's POV

All I could think about was the look on her face, the pain and sadness. She said she had been beaten and cut, but why wasn't there any scars. Then it hit my like a load of bricks, glamour. She was using glamour to hide them. I must have lost track of time, because it felt like minutes but Fergus was back in the room.

"I called in a few favors, but I found it.

One shall be born of Elizabeth the Great,

A girl it shall be born from Elizabeth the Great,

With a mind of old and a heart of gold,

She will be the greatest danger of all.

Now, that's what everyone, except a select few that know there was a second verse.

But since she is with a mind of old,

She shall know what is right,

Since she has a heart of gold,

She shall never be a threat,

She shall never break a bone,

Nor make thy shed tears,

Since she is the daughter of Elizabeth the great.

Elizabeth never hurt anyone, and neither will Isabella. If anything she'll do everything she can to make the night world a better place, not a horrible one."

"I think it's time to we talk to a few old friends, what do you think Fergus?"
