Still Not A Faerie Princess ch.20

What was that? Why did she scoot away from me so fast? I don't really know what she's been through other then what Glen has told me and he's not telling me much. I look towards her again, and I really need for her to open her big brown doe eyes. 'I need for her to tell me everything's going to be okay.'

I run my hands through her hair and I notice she still has a slight fever. I chant a little spell and my hand hovers over her body. I see the air around her shimmer a little and she lets out a more easy breath.

#########################################

In the dungeon somewhere under the Fae castle, Kelly is looking into a scribing bowl with a harpy standing next to her.

"Can you find her?" Kelly asked.

"If she swallowed your blood, then we shouldn't have any problems."

"She swallowed it all right." Kelly said with a sneer in her voice.

"You do know that the spell you cast on her to lose her powers has probably run its course?"

Kelly looked up at the Harpy and glared at her. "What do you mean it ran its course?"

"She more than likely has her powers back."

"And?"

"And I might be able to cast the spell once again." The Harpy spoke quickly as not to get on Kelly's bad side. "With your blood running through her it may make it easier to control her as well."

"Ya, which worked so well last time." Kelly said sarcastically.

"You do remember that you can't kill her? Right?" asked the harpy in a worried tone. "I mean she needs to be alive for the spell to work." She said quickly.

"She'll be alive alright, if barely…..After all if the spell goes like it should she won't survive it…..and nobody said I couldn't have a little fun."

At that the Harpy grabs Kelly's hand and drags a knife across her palm and squeezes the blood droplets into the scribing bowl, which creates a colorful bloom of smoke to rise from the bowl and hang over their heads.

They both lean forward and peer into the bowl. At first they see nothing and it looks like Kelly is about to turn on the Harpy when they see a clearing and what looks like a cave under a tree root.

"Do you know where that is?" asked Kelly

##############################################

"I's hungry Missy Spencer." Glen states as he rubs his stomach.

Now that he mentioned it my stomach decided to let me know that it was hungry as well. I wrapped my arms around myself and looked to Glen. "Don't you have anything here to eat?" I asked.

"No's" he said. "Doggy breath brings food." He stated as he looked at Ashley.

Spencer chose to ignore his comment. "Is there any place I might be able to get food?" she asked as she studied Glen.

"I's can't leaves." Glen stated.

"That's not what I asked." Spencer let out a breath and ran her hand threw her hair. "But never mind I'll go out and try to gather some berries for us, until Ashley is awake, and I'll see what I can figure out about the spell that leaves you trapped here."

Spencer walks to the entrance to the den/cave and looks back at Ashley and Glen. "I'll be back as soon as I can." She said as she exited the cave.

##################################################

"Do you know where that is?" asked Kelly.

"No Mistress, I don't." said the Harpy.

"Can you look inside the cave?" She asked.

"I'm trying." Replied the Harpy as she ducked her head away from Kelly trying to avoid being hit again. She hurriedly replied "I'm trying to get a look inside but there seems to be a powerful protection spell of some kind….." she slumped forward and grabbed the edge of the scribing bowl as she slid the rest of the way to the floor and passed out.

Kelly looked down at her and kicked her in the ribs. "What.." kick " good…" kick " are you…" kick "to me." She yelled as she reached down and grabbed her by the back of the head and forced her head up as she then slammed the harpy's face into the pedestal and then let it drop back to the floor unconscious.

Kelly looked to the guard standing at the door and snarled "Get me another witch." She looked back at the Harpy on the ground. "And put that…" she pointed towards the Harpy "on the rack."

She started out of the dungeon but decided to take one last look into the scribing bowl and she sees movement at the mouth of the cave. She leans forward as close as she can and that's when she makes out the shadow. "Spencer" she whispers to herself.

She becomes transfixed on the scene playing out before her.

Spencer is looking around the clearing and she walks off towards the thicker brush before she gets out of the clearing she turns back around and starts chanting and waving her arms around pointing towards the cave entrance which disappears.

She stops what she is doing and turns in a circle with her arms out from her side.

Kelly reaches her hand forward and tries to caress Spencer's cheek; instead the water ripples and destroys the picture.

Enraged, Kelly throws the bowl against the wall and storms out of the dungeon.

#######################################################

Spencer was trying to test the spell around the cave and hide the entrance when she got a chill up her back that caused the hairs on the back of her neck to stand. She had the feeling she was being watched, so she stopped what she was doing and turned in a circle. She reached out to see if she could sense what was out there, but she couldn't find anything.

Either way she made her way into the woods and searched the bushes for berries or nuts. She found a bush not far from the cave and she picked as many berries as she could carry while eating at the same time.

She made her way back towards the clearing but stopped before she stepped out of the cover of the woods. She closed her eyes and let her senses roam. She didn't feel anything so she stepped out of the woods and waved her hand, the cave entrance came into view and she went in.

ch.21

Spencer stopped in the shadows of the entrance and said a little spell under her breath as she took in the clearing before her.

She was making her way in the cave and she could hear Glen mumbling to himself as he was situated on the pillow beside Ashley.

#############################################

Glen was talking to Ashley who was still unconscious. "Yous need to wakes ups." He scooted closer to her ear. "I's don't knows if I's can protect Missy Spencer withouts yous." He stated as he got even closer to Ashley. "She's needs yous." He said. "She's sad withouts yous." Then he mumbled something under his breath that Spencer had to strain to hear. "I's need you to." He said as he hugged her.

He shook his head to clear it and wiped at a tear that had made it's way down his face, then in a louder voice; "I's don't knows why Missy Spencer had to gos out and gets berries." He said as he leaned up against Ashley's head. "I's means all she's gots to dos is wave hers hands and wes can feast."

"I didn't want to use my Fae magic up before I tested the spell on the cave to get you out of here."

"What's you mean use all you's power up." Glen asked as he rushed towards her to get his fill of berries.

"I mean, yes I can absorb a certain amount from nature around us, but most of that has a taint of blood magic." She stated as she looked at glen with a pointed look.

"Yous has yous own magic." Glen stated as he crinkled his brow as juice from the berries ran down his chin.

"Yes I do but I tend to need a refill from time to time and I didn't know how strong the spell was."

"Refill?"

"Yes, refill. As in I need Ashley."

"Ashley, ooooooo you means you need to get it ons." He said as his eyebrows wiggled up and down.

"Glen." She said as she flushed pink.

"Whats?" he asked. "Yous not use to turn funny colors when talking abouts that's."

She cleared her throat and straightened up "Well I didn't use to hang around humans so much before either." She said. "It seems to be a taboo subject unless you are talking amongst the girls or to your lover." She said as she looked dazedly towards Ashley.

"I's can bes one of the girls" Glen said as he stood up and wiggled his hips as he pranced around the cave as he straitened his hair and fluttered his eyes. "See's I makes a good girl."

Spencer broke out in a deep belly laugh. "Thanks Glen I needed that."

###############################################

Later after they finished their meal Spencer went and sat on the side of the bed and entwined her fingers with Ashley as she scooted down and stretched out beside her, before her head was laid all the way down she was asleep.

She woke up a few hours later and Ashley was wrapped around her. She tried to pull away but she heard a low growl as Ashley tightened her hold on her. Spencer tried once again when she turned her head to look directly into brown eyes that were slightly red around the edge of the eyes. "Mine." She heard which sent a chill down her back.

She got her arm released and cupped Ashley's cheek. "Yours." She said breathlessly as she leaned forward and tried to place a gentle kiss on her lips when Ashley took a breath and jumped out of bed.

"Who are you?" she asked as she took the blanket edge and jerked sending Spencer to the floor as she wrapped herself up. "And why…..were you in bed with me?" 'That's not what I wanted to ask, I wanted to know what this is I'm feeling for her.'

Spencer raised her self off the floor and rubbed her elbow that had hit hard on the cave floor and came away with blood.

Ashley's nose flared with the coppery smell of blood. She licked her lips as she looked into Spencer's eyes. "Mine." She growled as she took a couple of steps around the bed towards Spencer, then she stopped suddenly and took a step back as she shook her head.

As she looked into Spencer's eyes again she could feel her self being drawn forward to this vision of beauty. She shook her head again and when she looked back up her eyes were completely red.

#######################################

Before Spencer could even think about what was happening she was engulfed in Ashley's arms with Ashley's face snuggled against her neck. She felt her hot breath and she could feel Ashley take a swipe with her tongue over her mark.

Spencer could feel her center clinch in anticipation when Ashley exhaled "Mine." Once again.

Ashley didn't know what was wrong with her, she only knew that this being was hers and hers alone, she couldn't seem to stop herself as her hand lowered possessively and cupped this angel's center in the palm of her hand. She let out a low growl when she could feel the heat and dampness and then she took a big whiff. It was all she could do not to devour this person before her.

About the time she was going to rip the clothes off this individual and claim her she felt something tug her hair. She shook her head trying to dislodge what ever it was, but it didn't work for it was tugged again.

She growled and cut her eyes to the side and there on her shoulder stood what looked like a little devil. She shook her head and looked again. Sure enough it was a little devil with the tail and all; she had to be seeing things, all it needed was a pitch fork. She took a hold of it and threw it across the room as she let out a ferocious growl. It wasn't going to take her angel.

##############################################

Spencer didn't know what was going on; first she was being mauled by Ashley and the next she lost her balance as she was released suddenly and she heard the growl rip from Ashley.

Ashley had placed herself between Spencer and Glen and she was hunched over warning Glen to stay away. Every time Glen would move to the right Ashley would move with him.

"Glen," yelled Spencer; "don't move." She said as she took a step forward and put her hand on Ashley's shoulder.

###############################################

Ashley didn't know what had come over her but she couldn't seem to stop. There was a threat to her and her mate and she was going to put a stop to it. Even if it meant she would have to destroy it.

She was about ready to pounce when she felt a light touch on her shoulder and then all the sudden she was calm and peaceful as she was looking in the bluest eyes she had ever seen. She couldn't help her self she felt drawn to this individual and she didn't think she could fight it. Her eyes drooped as she leaned in to the touch.

###################################################

Spencer felt Ashley shiver under her hands and lean in closer to her. "Ashley?" she asked as she stepped around her and placed her hands on her face and made her look at her.

"Uh…"

"Ashley don't you know me?" Spencer asked with a quiver in her voice.

"No, yes, I don't know." she said as she freed her face from Spencer, and shook her head, "The same yet different." she mumbled as she turned towards Glen.

She started to turn around when Glen cleared his throat and spoke. "Missy Spencer is everything okays?" he asked as he took a small step forward.

Ashley growled at him and took a step towards him, Spencer put her hand to her chest, "Wait right there." Spencer said as she turned towards Glen. "Glen can you give us a moment….Please."

Glen's eyes were glued to Ashley as he shook his head yes and took a step backwards towards the exit to the room, but before he left he looked right at Ashley and said, "Yous be a good doggie and listens to Princess Spencer." Ashley continued to glare and growl at him as she continued to stare at him until she couldn't see him any more. Then she turned her eyes towards Spencer.

Spencer noticed that Ashley's eyes were still red and she was getting tingles up and down her body were she was raked over by Ashley's eyes. She had to shake her self this wasn't the time, 'Well it isn't the time yet.' She thought to her self.

"Wait, Princess? Who's a Princess?" Ashley asked.

"That would be me and please don't start calling me that."

Ashley got a smirk on her face as she looked Spencer up and down. "You can be my Princess any time." She said.

"Well at least it seems you're almost back to yourself."

"What do you mean back to my self?"

"Ashley, look around, do you know where you're at?"

Ashley looked around and she started to get worried. "No, where have you taken me?"

"I haven't taken you anywhere. You chose to come here."

"Why would I choose to come to a hole in the ground, no offence?"

"I would like to think that you came after me. I mean when Kelly took me from our hotel room you were frozen, and I didn't get to tell you that I love you with all that I am." Spencer said as she walked forward and placed her hand on her cheek. Ashley leaned into it and let out a sigh.

"I just don't remember…..I feel it" she said as she placed her hand over her heart. "… I just don't remember." She said.

Spencer looked down at her feet, her heart was breaking but she didn't want Ashley to know.

Spencer looked back up, "I need to go for a walk." She stated as she turned and left the cave.

"Missy Spencer," Glen shouted "don'ts leave me here with it." He said as he threw his thumb over his shoulder at Ashley.

Ashley growled and took a step towards Glen.

Spencer turned around and shouted "Enough," she glared at Glen "You need to get along with her." Then she turned to Ashley, "Please don't hurt him." Then she left the cave.

##################################################

Ashley knew that she shouldn't let her go so went to follow her but hit an invisible force field and bounced off of it and landed on her backside. "Oomph" she let out.

"What the hell is that?" she asked.

"Its whats I's hit when I's tries to leave." Glen stated as he came walking up next to her and put his little hand on the force field.

"Why is it there?" she asked as she looked down at him.

"It's to keep me heres." He said as he brought his finger up to his chin and tapped his chin. "It's not suppose to keeps you here." He said as he looked at Ashley. "MISSY SPENCER! MISSY SPENCER!"

##############################

ch.22

Spencer stood at the edge of the forest when she heard Glen yell for her.

"MISSY SPENCER MISSSYY SPENNNNCERRRR!"

She spun around and started to head back in when she felt she was being watched again. She closed her eyes and let her senses run free. She couldn't feel anything around that was a possible threat so she opened her eyes and headed back in.

"Yes" she responded as she crossed the threshold of the cave. She noticed Ashley on the floor and offered her a hand to help her up. "What are you doing down there?" she asked as she pulled her up. She turned on Glen before Ashley could answer "What did you do to her?"

"Please," Ashley said as she brushed her self off; "as if he could nock me down."

"I's so could." Glen stated as he squinted his eyes at her, and glared.

"As if."

"Yous take it back."

"No"

"Yes"

"Make me."

Glen puffed up his little chest and took a step back to get a running start and then he vibrated so fast that he became a blur and shot up Ashley's leg and straight up her face grabbing her hair as he went and jumping off her and hitting the floor with Ashley right behind him.

Ashley hit the floor hard but she came up just as fast and spun around on her heel shooting fire out of her eyes.

Spencer pushed her hands up and froze the two in place. 'It seems not much has changed.'

"Do you think we could act civilized…please." She asked as she released the two from their hold and cocked her head. Glen and Ashley both shook their head yes.

"Now, why did you bellow?" She asked as she glared at Glen.

"She's can't get out." He said as he pointed at Ashley.

"What?"

"Outside," Ashley stepped in; "it seems that I can't get outside the cave."

"Did you try?"

"How do you think I ended up on the floor?"

Spencer just looked at her with a blank look.

Ashley walked over to the entrance of the cave and leaned up against the force field.

Spencer walked over and tried to run her hand over the surface of the force field, but it just went through like there wasn't anything there.

"I thought this was just supposed to keep him in here." She stated as she walked threw the force field.

Ashley tried to grab her but was stopped once again. "Can you please do something about that." She almost sounded like she was pleading. "I can't be stuck in here with that for ever." She stated as she thrusted her chin at Glen.

"I'll see what I can do." Spencer said as she continued to the exit of the cave.

################################################

Spencer stood at the entrance of the cave and chanted a spell as she lifted her hands out towards the cave opening, her eyes drifted closed as she continued to chant. The old tree began to glow with a bright blue light and an unusual hum could be heard as everything in the clearing began to shimmer.

Spencer began to float as the wind around her seemed to come alive and whip her hair around her face, she continued to chant. Her eyes snapped open and they were glowing brightly, when suddenly something caught her attention on the base of the tree over the opening of the cave. She floated towards what had caught her eyes while still chanting.

She reached her hand out and ran her fingers over the runes that were carved into the trunk of the tree. She smiled as she finished her chant and she could feel the hum of power coming from the runes. She brought her hand up to her face and kissed her fingers as she then brought them down and ran them across the runes.

Immediately the blue glow dimmed and the wind died down and the humming ceased. She kept her hand on the runes as she took a deep breath. Suddenly she was silently screaming with her mouth wide open and her eyes slammed closed of their own accord.

##########################################

"Did you get the location?" asked Kelly as she stormed into the dungeon.

"Not yet….mistress." The witch said as she bowed low, with her head down to the floor.

"Well, what good are you then?" asked Kelly

"I need a drop of your blood for the spell I'm going to cast upon the Princess."

Kelly slipped the knife from her belt and poked the end of her finger. "Is this enough?"

"Just enough." Replied the witch as she dabbed the finger with a cloth and poured a potion in a bowl then threw in the cloth.

"Is there anything else you need for this so called spell?"

"Yes." She replied as she looked up to Kelly. "I'll need something of the Princess's."

"Will anything work?"

"It should be something that means something to her."

Kelly stood still as she thought about it for a minute. "Can it be a living being?"

"That's unusual, but I don't see why not."

Kelly got and evil gleam in her eye as she sent the guard out to the darkest part of the dungeon to bring back a prisoner. A prisoner that hadn't seen the light of day in a long time.

The guard came back and shoved the prisoner on the floor. She stumbled and then she fell to her knees. The witch dropped to the floor and bowed as low as she could. "You're Majesty." She said.

Kelly grabbed the witch and made her stand up. "This bag of bones isn't royalty. No reason to bow." She said as she kicked out at the prisoner.

Her boot connected and it drove the prisoner back to the floor. "Will she work or not?"

"Yes, mistress." The witch said as she lowered her head.

"Good, I get to kill two birds with one stone." Kelly said as she laughed.

"I don't need to kill her." Said the witch a little too quickly.

Kelly looked back at her a sneered. "I think it might be gentler if you did, rather then I."

"I might need her for another spell." Said the witch quickly.

Kelly took out her knife and ran it flat edge across the prisoner's cheek. "Which part would you liked cut off." She asked as the prisoner tried to scoot back from her.

"For this spell I need about two ounces of blood." She stated as she grabbed the prisoner's hand and grabbed the knife away from Kelly with the other one and sliced it over the palm of the prisoner's.

The prisoner tried in vain to pull her hand back, but it was useless. The years in the dungeon had taken their toll. She was as weak as a kitten and just as useless.

The witch released the hand but not before she made eye contact and she was barely able to keep her shock to herself when she saw that the prisoner had no eyes just two empty sockets, still she stumbled back a couple of feet as Kelly laughed and laughed.

"Hahahahahaahhahahahahahahahh hahahah"

###########################################

ch.23

###################################

…..Suddenly she was silently screaming with her mouth wide open and her eyes slammed closed of their own accord.

She was transported into the shadow realm; everything looked the same only that it looked like night without the moon or stars. Every where she looked it was the same. She walked to the edge of the clearing and she found she could go no farther. She turned back and walked back to the cave entrance to try and get inside, but she couldn't go inside. She was starting to get a bad feeling when she saw a pin point of blue light come thru the forest and stop to hover in front of her.

She wasn't frightened of it, she was curious. She brought her finger up to poke at it. That was when the blue light ran up her finger over her hand up her arm and engulfed her. She felt loved and safe. The blue light disappeared and in its place was Queen Paula and she was hugging her. She took a step back and held Spencer at arm length and then embraced her once again.

Queen Paula leaned forward and whispered something into Spencer's ear then kissed her on the head.

The next thing she knew she was standing in the clearing in front of the cave, by herself. She looked around and noticed that the spell on the cave was released. She chanted a little spell to see if the runes were still present on the trunk of the tree. She stepped forward and ran her hand over the base of the tree, the runes were gone. 'Not good.' She said to herself. 'I need to replace the veil of secrecy.'

#########################################################

"Did it work?" asked Kelly

"I'm not sure; it looked like it did, but than she stepped out of it." The witch said.

"Stepped out of it?" questioned Kelly "What do you mean stepped out of it?" she asked as she snapped away from the scribing bowl and turned towards the witch.

"I mean one minute she was in our clutches and the next she stepped out of it."

"Is there anything you would like before I end your miserable life?" Kelly said as she advanced on the witch.

The witch backed up quickly until her back hit the wall and she came to a complete stop. She put her hand to the back of her hand and a came forward with blood. She Hurriedly replied "I know where she's at." Then she kneeled on the floor and protected her belly as she braced for impact.

She closed her eyes for what felt like an eternity when she felt a hand on her arm raising her up off the floor. Kelly stooped to her eye level and had a smile on her face as she said in a sing song voice. "Well why didn't you say so?" as she helped the witch back to the scribing bowl.

"Do you need more blood? Anything, anything at all let me know. Do you need anything more of the prisoner?" She asked as she kicked out at the said prisoner.

The prisoner tried to scoot out of the way but she was to weak and she got a glancing blow from Kelly's boot, which sent her back to the ground in a heap.

"Yes that might be a good idea." The witch said as she took the knife and turned her back on Kelly then knelt in front of the prisoner and grabbed her hand then sliced it with then knife. She gathered the blood in the bowl then she pressed something in the prisoners hand, stood up and turned back to Kelly with a little sway to her hips and dumped the blood in the scribing bowl.

"I got to say I like a woman who can stomach blood." Kelly said as she slapped the witch on the butt and squeezed. "What's your name witch and who's the bastard who's seed you carry?"

"My name is Chelsea, mistress." Chelsea said as she turned away from Kelly to hide the tear that tried to make its way down her cheek.

The prisoner's ears perked up at the witch's name and she held on tighter to what was shoved into her hand. She could feel that it felt like a charm on a necklace, she shoved it down what was left of the hem of her pants as quickly as she could.

"What are you doing?" Kelly asked as she shoved the prisoner over again with the tip of her boot.

"NNNNN N Nothing."

"Nothing, what?" Kelly asked.

The prisoner shrugged her shoulders and mouthed "N N N nothing."

Which just infuriated Kelly that much more. She snatched the knife off the pedestal and grabbed the prisoner by the hair and started to slice it across her neck.

Chelsea stepped forward and placed her hand on Kelly's wrist and stopped her. "Mistress." She said as she bowed her head. "I may need her yet again, if you wish to gain control of the Princess." She took a step back and kept her face pointed to the ground all the while protecting her protruding stomach.

Kelly glanced at her and lowered the knife but not before she drew some blood and licked the knife. Then she slammed her knee into the prisoner's face and she let go and walked over to Chelsea and placed her hand on the back of her neck and forced her head forward and smashed their lips together, before she backed up she nipped her lower lip and drew some blood. "Sweet and sexy," she said as she licked her lips and went in for another kiss, "how I so like that." As she sneered at her and squeezed her bottom once again.

Chelsea bared it gritting her teeth and biting her tongue; she took a step back and turned away from Kelly and discreetly wiped her mouth on her sleeve and spit on the ground. She walked back over to the bowl and caste a spell as she leaned over it and spit in the bowl.

Spencer came back in view as she was chanting in front of the cave. Kelly rushed over to the bowl and she strained to hear what she was chanting, "Quickly, she's trying to put up a spell, can you pin point where she's at and take her powers?" she asked as she turned towards Chelsea.

"I can try mistress, but the greater the distance the less likely the spell will work." She stated as she caste another spell that was all smoke and no bite so to speak.

She wasn't here to help Kelly she was here to help her mate and pack. She just prayed that the charm that she gave the prisoner helped her in some way so that she could take her rightful place and take back the kingdom and get rid of Kelly and her Master.

Kelly turned to the guard and yelled at him to take the prison back to her cell. She walked over to the prisoner as the guard hauled her back to her feet and held her up. She had her head down. Kelly reached over and grabbed her face and squeezed until she could see that she flinched, "Not much longer now. You will hear her scream and my master will drain every drop of blood from her body, but not before I have some fun and if your good I might have you there so that she can see you one last time." She stated as she released her hold. "Then the Master, will be in complete control of the Fae Realm as well as the Human Realm."

####################################################

The prisoner couldn't believe what she was hearing Spencer was alive and she was now here, after all this time she felt a kernel of hope blossom in her chest as she was shoved in her cell and she stumbled until she fell to her knees, she crawled across the floor until she felt the hay that she used for her bed and scooted her back against the wall, and smiled to herself.

################################

ch.24

The prisoner was still smiling to herself when a thought hit her, what would Spencer think of the way she looked know? Would she still want to be with her? Or would she run as fast as she could in the opposite direction?

Those thoughts along with others wiped the smile off of her face in a hurry. Could she still fight for what was…no what is hers? Could she again win Spencer's love? Or would she have to spend the rest of her life alone and in this dark place with no one to love or no one to love her in return?

"No…" she shook her head and said it louder "NO..." She wouldn't think like that, Spencer loved her for her…. but then again she was Fae and they put a lot of stock into what a person looks like, after all they are a vain race.

Would she chose to be free and move from one relationship into another or would she choose to stay with a shell of the person she fell in love with?

The prisoner brought her hand up to her face and rubbed her brow.

'How much longer do I have to wait here?' she mumbled to her self.

"Aaaaaaaaaa" she screamed as she tried to straighten her leg out. It was a gift from Kelly when she first arrived here and one that she would happily pay back at her earliest convenience.

'How much more do I have to suffer?' She mumbled as she ran her hand over her protruding ribs as her stomach growled out in protest to not being fed yet again.

She didn't know how long she had been here or how long she would continue to be here but just the thought that Spencer was now here let her believe that her torment was almost over one way or another. She knew she would never be the Were, that she use to be, but maybe just maybe not all was lost….all she had to do was bide her time and hopefully she would be able to get away.

'Ya, right." She thought. 'I'm not that lucky, but maybe just maybe….' She continued '….with a little help….' Her thought drifted off as she continued to rub the pendant that Chelsea had shoved in her hand.

###############################################

Spencer finished the spell of secrecy and walked back to the base of the tree and rubbed her hand over the surface where the runes were suppose to be located and recited the spell once again. She smiled to her self when the runes reappeared and walked back into the cave. As she was entering she got a strong flash of pain in her head that caused her to stumble and then she went to her knees bracing one hand against the wall and the other holding her head. She was dizzy and she couldn't seem to get her balance to get back up when images started playing in her head. They were moving so fast that she couldn't make out one from the other, other than Ashley seemed to be the main character in them.

She tried once again to get up when she crashed to the floor with a whoosh of air being pushed from her lungs and her head hitting the floor of the cave which caused a sob to be released at the same time.

############################################

Ashley's head swiveled towards the entrance at the sound that came from that direction, she and Glen took off down the darkened tunnel towards the sound and they saw Spencer trying to get up, but she was having trouble.

Ashley's nose flared as she picked up a coppery scent in the air and her eyes turned red as Spencer looked towards them and she noticed blood dripping down her face and pooling on the floor.

Glen rushed over to Spencer, "Missy Spencer ares yous okays?" he asked as he slipped in her blood and grabbed a hold of her to keep his balance; before she could answer he was ripped away from her.

"She's mine." Spittle flew in his face as Ashley continued to growl at him. He was shook like a rag doll and then brought back up to Ashley's face "Do…." growl "not" snap "touch…." Shake "her!"

It was to much for Spencer to handle she couldn't let Glen get throttled to death just because Ashley had a problem with sharing, she dragged herself over to them and placed her hand on Ashley's leg and pulled herself up and turned Ashley's head to face her.

"Ashley," she said. "Let him down…Please?" she asked as she stumbled back as Ashley stiffened then shook her off.

Ashley threw Glen against the nearest wall then she turned and crouched close to the ground and crept closer to Spencer all while growling deep in her chest.

"A..Ashley" Spencer tried to get her to snap out of what ever trance she was in as she backed up to the cave wall with Ashley creeping closer and closer to her. Ashley started to shake and tremble and her eyes started to glow an eerie red.

Glen stood up and brushed himself off as he looked towards Ashley and noticed that she had Spencer cornered. He ran towards her and kicked out and hit her ankle. Ashley stopped and whirled around on him and smacked him away like a bug. She turned back to Spencer and started shaking even more. Glen got back up again and ran circles around her as she continued trying to hit him.

"Runs, Mis…." he tried to yell but before he could finish Ashley jumped on top of him and stomped him into the ground.

Spencer looked back as she was trying to get away and she noticed that Ashley seemed to becoming apart at the seams. One instance she was Ashley the next she was a large russet wolf that looked like she was on the hunt. She had her nose to the ground when her head whipped up in the direction of Spencer.

Spencer froze in her tracks and leaned up against the wall for support. She didn't seem to have the strength to get away and she was still dizzy and she knew that she couldn't out run the wolf. 'Maybe if I remain still she will see that I'm not a threat to her.' She thought as she remained completely still as the wolf seemed to dig in her heels as her hackles continued to rise as it moved forward.

With each step the wolf tore into the ground with its mighty paws. It smashed small stones into dust and created little dust clouds. It came to a stop in front of Spencer and continued to growl deep in its chest. It snarled and showed all its teeth as it brought its giant head right up to Spencer's face.

Spencer closed her eyes tight as the wolf let out a big breath right in her face and her hair blew around her face. She pressed her head up against the wall when she felt the muzzle of the wolf nuzzle into her neck. In the next instance the wolf was licking the side of her face seemingly to clean the blood off of her.

Spencer opened one eye and strained to look at the wolf in the eye.

Ashley looked up at the same time that Spencer opened her eye and then she nudged her and let out another breath as she lowered her head and nudged her hand with her head.

Spencer turned and opened her other eye and then she rubbed the top of Ashley's head. Ashley started to make a rumbling noise in her chest again only this time it was more of a purring sound.

Spencer started to walk around Ashley when she almost lost her balance; Ashley seemed to sense this as she got right up next to her so that she could lean against her. Spencer wrapped her hand around Ashley's mane and twisted her hand in it so that she wouldn't fall, and walked towards where she last saw Glen.

When she got to the spot she went to her knees and swooshed the dirt around looking for him. She started to get agitated when she couldn't find him and she started moving the dirt around more quickly. Ashley put her muzzle down to the ground and started whining as she moved the dirt around as well.

She raised her muzzle up from the ground and took a big whiff and started to move towards the inner cavern when something blurred coming right at her. She tried to jump out of the way but didn't move fast enough as her feet were caught on whatever it was and she crashed to the floor on her side as the blur continued to move around just out of sight.

"How's you likes them doggies?" Glen asked as he came to a stop on top of a hog tied Ashley. He looked towards Spencer then raced over to her side. "You's alright Missy Spencer?" he asked.

Ashley crossed her eyes to see what had just happened and when she saw Glen she yipped and barked at him but he just ignored her.

Glen rushed up Spencer's leg and hugged her as tight as he could then he kissed her cheek. He started spitting and wiping his tongue off and said "Yuck doggie's drool" as he made a face as he continued to wipe his tongue.

Spencer started giggling, even Ashley looked like she was trying not to laugh and then she lost the battle and laughed through her muzzle.

Glen just crossed his arms, "Whats sos funny?" he asked as he stomped his foot on the ground and stuck out his bottom lip out which only caused Spencer to laugh that much more.

#########################################

ch.25

(Ashley's in her cell thinking and trying to remember anything from her previous life.)

Let's just say that the one instance that I remembered clear as day was the last day that I ever saw Spencer. She was killed trying to save me… 'No….no that's not right.' She said to herself as she shook her head seemingly trying to clear it of cobwebs. 'That's the other Ashley's memories, not mine…' she shook her head once again as she rubbed the back of her neck; '…the last time I saw my Spencer my m m mate…' she stumbled over the word, '… was when she was taken from me by that conniving bitch face Kelly and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about,' she snarled in her head '…she had cast some sort of spell over me and I was frozen in place, when…I' sniff '… I saw her carry Spencer through a rift of some kind.'

Then she got a far away look on her face as she remembered earlier in the day when she had made love to Spencer in the shower and how they had ended up back on the bed and then Spencer had made love to her, but that was before she was taken away and everything always came back to her being torn away from her. Ashley slammed her elbows against the wall behind her repeatedly, until she just slumped forward and started shaking and if she could have she would have had huge cow tears streaming down her face but instead she just hugged her self and rocked back and fourth as she continued to sob uncontrollably.

She was having a pity party for one… 'And if anyone I ever knew saw me, I would lose my place as Beta in the pack…but damn it' she thought 'I have been through a lot and I should be able to release some pent up steam if I want to.' She said to her self as she straitened back up and rubbed her face. 'I wonder if they even still think about me.' She was starting to get drug back down into a pit of despair and she didn't think she could make it back out a second time. With her resolve in place she straitenedup once again. 'Okay enough of that. No more feeling sorry for myself.'

##################################

Let me take the time to tell you a little bit about the other Ashley, the ones who's body I know inhabit. She gave up, yes essentially it's me and we all know that I don't give up with out of fight, and that has definitely gotten me in a lot of trouble but you have to remember that she saw the love of her life killed in front of her. That was when she decided there was nothing else to live for.

Then I enter into the picture and she thinks I'm a figment of her imagination. You see she's been here for some time before I even got here. Not that I'm saying that's a reason, because I'm not, but I can see where she's coming from. I tried to remind her that there's always revenge but she said she would have nothing of it seeing as she's been down that road before, and that was how she got here.

I asked her what she meant by that but she kind of shrugged and curled into herself as she went to the furthest corner of her mind, or my mind now, to hide; but before she completely closed me out I got a glimpse of what she was talking about and let me tell you it wasn't pretty.

It seems as Spencer died trying to protect her from her Uncle, but she also was trying to protect her from herself as well. You see she had gone mad with grief over losing her family to Author. His killing spree in the Mortal Realm included taking out her family as well as a large majority of Others, and Ashley had went berserk with rage, and if Spencer hadn't of stepped in when she did she would have been lost to all that rage, but that one selfless act of love from Spencer brought her back. Now she sits here and grieves for all she lost and refuses to give in to all that hate.

So basically she's useless and as you see I have to fight her every step of the way, of course most of the time she doesn't even remember me being in here with her she's so lost in her own world. So it's easier when she shoves herself in her own little world and gives me free reign so to speak.

I have been here for a long fucking time and I was just about ready to join her in that dark corner of our mind when I found out that Spencer was here. My heart jumped and I wanted to shout at the top of my voice that she was here for me.

My inner beast has been quiet for way to long but even it felt like it shook a little almost like it was waking from a long slumber. I know that's not true but I like to think that it's still there, looking out wondering why it can't get free. I haven't been able to transform since I've been here, and for a Were that's a torture in itself. I still have the senses like smell and hearing, but I don't have the strength or speed.

I can't even begin to understand the logistics of what was done to me. All I can say is that it was dark magic. To separate a Were from its human is like a death sentence to any living thing that gets in its way. The human part is what keeps the beast in check and without that you are left with a very lethal animal that only knows one thing it needs to kill to survive.

As Were, we have to fight our natural instincts, it's a constant battle do we let the animal in side of us take control or do we. Yes it becomes a seamless transition after awhile but in the beginning you are constantly fighting with your inner beast. I can only hope my beast hasn't caused panic among the masses and that someone has stopped it, even if that someone turns out to be Kelly; all though I wouldn't mind if it gutted her in the process.

Ashley leaned back against the wall and brought her had up to rub across her face, she winced as she came into contact of what was left of her eyes. It was an old wound that had transpired early on in her incarceration here in this wonderful Fae resort. She had refused to lower her eyes when Kelly had stopped in front of her cell. Kelly demanded that she lower her eyes and show proper respect due to her betters.

"I'll remember that when I see someone of that stature walk by." I snapped at her.

I was pretty cocky then, but I wasn't up to my regular strength and I really haven't been since I got here. I mean would you be, if you had someone in your head telling you that you dreamed up this whole scenario to make your life more bearable? Not only that but the voice in my head was yelling at me that I was a fool for trying to get a rise out of Kelly.

Instead I ignored that voice and demanded to know where Spencer was at.

Kelly smirked as she looked at me. "Are you that addled that you can't remember what happened to your one and only mate?' she said as she slipped her hand in her pants. ' Or do you mean what I did with the body?" Kelly tilted her head as she came closer to the bars and removed her hand from her pants and brought it forward towards my face, I stepped away from the bars as she then brought her finger to her mouth and sucked on it, and then she wrapped her hands around the bars. "Cause I got to tell you there's nothing like the smell of a decomposing body in the morning." She had this crazy gleam in her eyes as she continued on. "You see I put her on display in the throne room for everyone to see as well as…smell." She cackled. "Maybe taste as well…but I'll never tell." She said as she smirked at me.

I jumped at the bars but in my weakened state I was too slow, instead of getting her I slammed into the bars and landed in a heap on the floor of my cell. I glared up at her but she was no longer standing in front of the bars… as a matter of fact she was no where to be seen. I slumped my shoulders and let down my guard, which in my state was a huge mistake.

Kelly came back with a couple of guards. They jerked the cell door opened, and then followed her in. Before I could move she grabbed me by my hair and jerked my head back so that I was looking at her above me, then she slammed my head forward into the bars again and again. Then she brought my head back again as far back as it would go then she placed her knee into the middle of my back to hold me in a bowed position as the guards came forward. They handed her a hot iron.

"Now maybe you will learn a little respect." She said

The last thing I saw was the crazy gleam in Kelly's eyes and the foam that had formed in the corner of her mouth as she brought the poker to my face. I tried to get away but it didn't do any good as the guards each grabbed an arm and a leg and held me in place. I screamed in agony as she continued to laugh over and over again.

As she departed my cell she shattered my knee with a well placed kick and left me there for a long time with out any food or water. I almost gave up then, but I kept remembering Spencer and that I couldn't leave her here alone to defeat Kelly and her uncle.

Did I mention that he comes around every couple of weeks to bleed me? He says it's because he needs the fresh blood, fresh royal blood. I told him that I didn't have royal blood, but he just laughed as he explained to me.

You see it turns out that the other me married the Princess after we first met and Author started all this taking over Fae two years after that. He had Paula killed before he came to the mortal realm, and he replaced her with Kelly who was under a glamour to appear as Paula here in the Fae realm. Spencer found out and she came back here and claimed the throne before she went back to defeat her uncle.

Since we/they, were married at the time she became Queen that made her a high royal and it also made me/her a high royal by extension. What I/she didn't know was that it changed my genetic make up to part Fae. What part you ask? Nothing extreme just my/her blood. I/she didn't really know that, and I suppose Spencer didn't know either seeing as she didn't tell the other me about it.

It's so confusing when I tried to think about it, that it makes my brain hurt.

####################################

Now we're back to Kelly and she feels she has a score to settle with Spencer, but at the same time in some crazy way she thinks she's also in love with her, and that Spencer married beneath her self with me. She thinks Spencer will come into her right mind and help her to kill me. She says this is why she is keeping me alive, not because of Author but because she wants to be there in person when that happens. She wants to see my blood stain the floor and bathe in it. She says it will be like a baptism for Spencer. One that she will wait for as long as it takes.

That's where her traveling to my universe for lack of a better word came into effect. She figured if she could get to Spencer before she married me then she could persuade her that she was a better choice for her than I was.

As you can see it didn't work out that way. Author didn't wait the two years to try to attack the Fae realm. He decided to start with the mortal realm first, and Spencer was strong enough to kill him in our universe as where in this universe she wasn't.

The other me brought her pack here to kill Kelly, but when she got here she couldn't go down that road again not after the sacrifice her Spencer had done for her. She was captured shortly after getting here, and she was betrayed by one of her close friends' one of her close child hood friends. Carmen.

Carmen, I still couldn't believe it. The Carmen in my universe had a huge crush on me and I didn't believe that she would ever betray me. I can't help to think that something must have happened for her to do something like that, but what? I don't know.

Kelly has a blood lust that can't be quenched. She comes every so often and leads me out of my cell to some room and straps me on a cross of some sort and ties me in place. She strips me to my waist and then she proceeds to whip me. She only stops long enough to get the guards to turn me over and tie me back in place and then she continues to whip me some more. When she is done with that little bit of fun she walks forward and runs the end of the whip between my legs to see if she can get a response out of me. When she doesn't she steps back and starts all over again.

I am sure that my back and front looks like shredded hamburger after all this time, but I think it kind of turns her on. Seeing as she can't seem to keep her hands from running all over my chest and back, smearing the blood all around. Then I hear her moan deep in her chest like she's getting off on it. It repulses me to think that she gets off on it but I have become so use to it that it doesn't even faze me anymore.

What does faze me is when she's done with me she brings in a slave or slaves as the case may be sometimes and she continues to have fun with them until I hear them screaming and begging for her to kill them to end the torment that their in. This may go all night until finally it becomes silent and all I hear is a gurgling sound or slurping sound or a bubbling sound. I don't really know how to describe the sound as seeing it's different each and every time. She kills them and then she'll take me off the cross and drag me over to what I assume is the bed and throw me on top of it with all the blood and dare me to get up until she is finished playing. That's when I feel her drag her knife up and down my body, I can only assume to mark me in some way. By this time I am so weak that all I can do is lay there waiting for what ever it is that she has planned to do. Usually it's more pain and violence until finally 9 out of 10 times she'll grab me by may hair and drag me back to my cell and then she'll continue beating me while screaming at me that it's all my fault that she's the way that she is. If I wasn't around then Spencer would be with her and not me. That she would be loved by all of Fae, if it wasn't for me. I guess she would be living the fairy tale life, no pun intended. Needless to say she does this until I pass out.

Let me make one thing perfectly clear, she never brought herself to rape me. I don't think she ever could. One such time after she was done with me one of her guards got a little excited lets say, while returning me to my cell. He started groping me, she caught him and lets just say I never heard from him again.

After one such session I was just about ready to give up when I was drug out of my cell once again and dragged to another area of the dungeon and I found out that Spencer was here and alive and that Kelly had a witch here to find her, not only a witch, but Chelsea, and she gave me some kind of an amulet.

I now had that amulet in my hand rubbing it with my thumb, it was important, but what did it do? It was useless to me at the moment but Chelsea gave it to me for some reason and for that I needed to keep it hidden from the guards as well as Kelly.

Outside my cell I heard someone coming down the corridor so I hid the amulet in the hem of my jeans or at least what was left of my jeans.

"Here doggie doggie." Was called from further down the corridor by none other then Kelly.

I tilted my head to the side as I heard the cell door being jerked open. "Come on puppy don't you want to play." She giggled out. I ignored her and turned my back to her. I was paid back with my head being slammed into the stone wall.

I tasted a coppery taste in my mouth and I gathered it up and listened to where the movement was in my cell and I spit it at who ever it was that was the closes to me.

"You Bitch." was yelled as my head was slammed once again into the wall. As I tried to straighten back up I was kicked in the stomach and all the air left my lungs as I slumped to the floor trying to catch my breath.

Kelly stormed out of my cell and snarled to the guards that had come with her. "Grab that beast and bring it with you."

They each grabbed a leg a proceeded to drag me out of the dungeon with my head hitting the floor as they continued up the stairs out into the open. I could tell it was outside because I took a deep breath after I was thrown into an open cage. I could smell dampness in the air almost like just at the beginning of autumn it smelled of musty leaves and fresh air. I could hear the leaves in the trees being rustled due to the wind and of course there were other smells that came wafting by, that weren't so fresh such as decay and death.

I was outside after all this time; I felt the warmth of the sun on my skin and turned my face to the sun as my nose flared trying to take in all the different smells as well as my ears trying to take in all the different noises.

"Better enjoy it while you can beast, seeing as it will be the last time you ever see…..well I guess seeing is not the right word." Kelly said as she cackled once again. "The outside again." She started laughing again it was a sickening sound that turned my stomach.

'Where are we going?' was the last thought I had as the wagon took off.

################################

ch.26

I woke up in a cage setting outside a ring of a fire, I could tell because of the heat and the crackling sounds. I wiped my face with my hand and it came away sticky, so I stuck it up to my nose and I smelled a copper scent.

"What happened?" I asked myself.

"Look the dogs awake."

I crouched in a defensive position, but I didn't hear anything else for awhile.

I let my guard down even though I knew that I shouldn't, that was when they struck. I was stabbed in the side with something which brought me to my knees. The next thing I felt was someone grabbing my hair and forcing me towards the bars of my cage, as someone else grabbed my legs.

##############################################

My love was in pain and she needed me to be strong for her. Queen Paula said that it would take all of my strength as well as the strength of our friends to put every thing right in the Fae Realm.

First thing first, I guess I need to try and find Aiden and the pack and see if they would be willing to help. Maybe they can even tell me if Kelly has weaknesses.

One thing for sure I need to get in the castle and take a look around. Maybe if I'm lucky I may find some things that will help us in our quest to be rid of Kelly and put someone in charge here who knows what to do. Maybe even get rid of Author while I'm at it.

I had a plan I just needed a way to carry it out and what better way then to use a little devil which I just so happened to have on my side.

"Glen." I called to him he just ignored me as Ashley continued to rub up against me as she was still sleeping.

"Glen." I said a little louder, still he ignored me but now he had his back to me as well.

"GLEN!" I yelled.

"Just keeps your shirt on Missy Spencer." He said as he turned around to face me. He noticed that my face was red but he ignored me as he walked over to me and Ashley with his hand behind his back.

Ashley awoke and at first she paid him no mind until he got about five feet away then her hackles went up and she rumbled low in her chest. It wasn't a ferocious rumble but more of a don't mess with me I'm sleeping rumble.

All of sudden he brought his hand from out behind his back and he started waving a stick around. "Come on puppies come on girl gets it." He said as he threw the stick on the other side of the room.

I wouldn't have believed it, if I hadn't of seen it with my own eyes. Ashley tore off of me and took off after that stick like it was a prize above all prizes. Her tail was even wagging.

"Runs Missy Spencer runs." He said as he got in between me and Ashley.

"Glen." I said as he turned around and pushed against my ankle

"Runs Missy Spencer, before she gets yous again" he said with his hand on his hips. "Whats you lose feelings in yous legs." He said.

"Glen." I bent down and lifted him up in my hand. "Glen, she didn't have me trapped she was just lying on top of me."

"But, but I saws her she wouldn't lets you up."

"It's not what you thought, she was just sleeping."

He decided he had enough of standing up so he sat Indian style in my palm with his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands.

"Wells whats we going to do with hers now that she's a big dog again?" He asked.

At that moment Ashley walked over and took a head to toe swipe at Glen with her tongue.

"Gross gross doggies drool." He screamed as he jumped up and stomped his foot as he got out of my hand and took of towards the bathing area grumbling the whole time. "I's only gots one more clean outfits that still fits."

I looked towards Ashley and noticed that she had a twinkle in her eye. She came closer to me as I backed up.

"Now Ashley you know that I love you, but don't you dare get your doggie drool on me." I said as I continued to back up. I hit the wall and Ashley brought her nose right up to mine then she swiped her tongue all up my face on one side and down on the other.

I took my hand and tried to wipe it off as I stomped over to the bathing area. When I got there I kicked Glen out and tried to slam the door which doesn't work if it's a curtain. So I did the next best thing I picked up a rock and threw it across the den. It made a very satisfying sound when it hit the wall and fell to the floor. I looked back to Glen and Ashley and they both looked away quickly trying to ignore me. I glared at them as I shut the curtain. As soon as the curtain was shut I heard Glen letting out a huge guffaw as well as Ashley. I heard a thump as I peeked out of the curtain and saw Ashley was on the floor on her back trying to catch her breath and Glen was right there beside her. I tried to fight the smile that came to my face at seeing that, maybe just maybe not all was lost.

##############################

ch.27

Ashley was restrained up against the bars of her cage by the guards when Kelly came stomping threw camp.

"What's the meaning of this?" she asked as she drew close to the first guard.

"Nothing to worry your self over." He sneered out with out even looking at her.

"This thing is always my business." She said as she gestured towards Ashley, then she turned on the guard and grabbed him by the arm and turned him around to face her. "Now I'll ask you again what the meaning of this is?" she sneered back at him.

He dropped to his knees when he saw who it was and the other guards released Ashley and dropped to their knees as well.

"N N Nothing, ma'am. We were just having a little fun with the dog." He replied as he looked up to Kelly with pleading eyes. "Please ma'am we didn't mean any h h harm." He stuttered out.

"Did I not tell every one that this particular dog was mine and mine alone to have fun with?" she asked as she looked him in the eyes and took out her knife and cleaned her nails with it while waiting for the guard to answer her question.

"Y yyy yes ma'am, you did but I figure…" gurgle…..spurt….gurgle was all that was heard as his body hit the ground.

"Well what's your excuse?" she asked as she turned onto the next guard.

"I was following orders ma'am…" he said as he stood to attention in front of her.

"Whose orders soldier?" she asked.

"His ma'am." He stated as he addressed the soldier still on his knees in front of Kelly.

Kelly took the third soldiers head and slung it back as she drug the knife across his throat nice and slow. Then she looked up to the younger soldier.

"Well it looks like you've been promoted boy." She said as she stepped away from both of the bodies. "Now clean this mess up." She said as she walked to the cage Ashley was in, "and one more thing."

The soldier snapped to attention as Kelly whirled on him again. "Yes ma'am."

"Don't let me down."

"No Ma'am….I mean yes ma'am." He got out as he swallowed nervously.

Kelly walked right up to him and stared up into his face. "Soldier what's your name?" she asked.

"Aiden, ma'am." He stated as sweat started to break out across his forehead.

"Your job is to watch the beast and make sure no one…..and I mean no one is to mess with it."

"Ma'am, yes ma'am."

"Good and if you do a good job there might be some kind of award in it for you." She said as she looked him up and down and then licked her lips. "Do I make myself clear?"

Kelly noticed the soldier shivered with anticipation and she smiled back at him as she walked away with a sway to her step.

#####################################

Aiden couldn't believe his luck he had infiltrated Kelly's camp and been promoted as her personal soldier at the same time.

Queen Paula had come to him in a dream and asked for help. He agreed right away, for his own personal reasons.

One…bring down the bitch that killed his cousin.

Two…reunite his pack.

Three…just to make him happy.

Now he just had to figure out what to do with the poor individual in the cage.

He walked up to the cage and looked in on the person curled up in the corner. He couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman he was just told to grab it and hold on, so he did.

He shook his head as he heard a whimper from the corner. "Don't worry I won't let any thing more happen to you as long as I'm alive." He said as he turned his back on the cage and looked out towards camp and saw Kelly walking away and he shivered again with revulsion to what she had proposed to him. That was when he noticed some of the guys giving him a sympathetic look. He mumbled something to himself, but he didn't think it was listening to him as it just curled up into a tighter ball.

He needed to come up with a plan, because right now he was just winging it so to speak. He had Chelsea giving Kelly some information on the girl that ended up in their camp.

He didn't feel bad about it because he didn't really believe that she was Spencer, he just thought she was some crazy girl that looked a lot like her and that figured she could get something out of them if she pretended to be Spencer. This in itself turned out to be a mistake. All it did was make everyone else mad at her. He didn't want her to get hurt, but if she turned out to be on Kelly's side then he couldn't help her.

He hadn't had a chance to talk to Chelsea to see how things were going with her, or to find out what she had found out about that girl, but he assumed everything was okay as she hadn't tried to get in touch with him as of yet.

Right now he wanted answers more then anything and he wanted to know who that wolf was that was with her. It looked familiar. Almost like he should have known who it was. Carmen said it was an Alpha, but that was impossible. Kelly had destroyed all the Alpha's, and promised that we would be the last of our kind.

He just hoped that Kelly would buy the act that he and Chelsea was putting on to get her to trust them. If he could have done it by himself he would of. He felt bad about bringing Chelsea along with him but she jumped at the chance to get even with Kelly for killing Sean.

Sean another tragedy hanging over his head. If only he could take care of everything by his self. No one would be hurt. Well no one but himself. He could have lived with that, but now he had people depending on him including Sean's unborn child. He smiled as he thought about a new generation running around under foot no matter what Kelly had said she did. He just hoped they were around to see it.

He really needed to get Chelsea back to camp. Get her as far away from Kelly as possible. He needed to stop thinking about revenge and move on with his life, but he couldn't not as long as that bitch was breathing and causing problems for other people or Fae or Others.

He couldn't live with himself if something happened to his family. Even though there wasn't much left of it. It was still up to him to protect them and keep them safe.

He just wished Ashley was here to talk some since into him. Help in some small way. He glanced back at the individual in the corner of the cage and he felt pity for them. "I promise even if I have to kill you my self no harm shall come to you." He said a little louder so that the individual could hear him.

The person if you could call it that whimpered a little louder and hugged the bars a little tighter, almost like it understood him. It didn't talk, all it did was grunt. Aiden couldn't figure out why. Not until he got a glance at it's mangled face. It didn't have eyes all it had was seared flesh over the top half of its face. Its mouth looked like it had been split from one side to the other with a dull knife. It looked like it had a permanent demented smile on its face and it was still kind of fresh looking as it was oozing blood and pus.

He took in a shocked breath and nearly gagged right there on the spot as it was he had to swallow a couple of times to get his breakfast to stay down. Even as bad as the individual was he still felt a connection to it, there was something about it that caused his heart to go out to it, almost like he new who it was. But no individual deserved this treatment and he wouldn't stand for it.

"Ashley would know what to do, but I will try my best not to let anything happen to you even if I have to put you out of your misery I will. I vow right here before you that I won't let anything else happen to you." All he felt was pity when the individual tried to scoot across the cage towards him but lost the battle as its head it the floor of the cage and it seemed to be trying to catch its breath as it was gasping on the floor.

#################################################

Ashley didn't know what was going on. One moment she was grabbed and held against the bars the next she was on her knees in the cage scrambling to get away from the hands that held her.

Then she heard it, it was Kelly and she wasn't happy as a matter of fact she was down right scary as she heard her talking to one of the men that had her held against the bars his voice kind of sounded familiar but when Kelly asked him his name and he replied Aiden all the breath left my body, I couldn't believe it. Maybe now she could catch a break and be safe for awhile, then he went and said that he wouldn't let Kelly down. I tried to get as far away as possible.

All was quiet for awhile until she heard shuffling at the bars again then she heard him say that he wouldn't let anything happen to her that he would keep her safe she wanted to let him know that she appreciated the sentiment and that she was right here in front of him, but not even half way there all her strength left her and she collapsed of the floor of the cage trying to catch her breath.

This wasn't good she knew for awhile that she had been running a fever from the infection she had on her face. Her face was spliced open with a knife the night that Kelly had dragged her to her room. Not only was her face split in half, but half her tongue was removed in the process. She could still feel it like it was still there, but she could no longer reply to anyone in a language that they would understand. She just grunted and shook her head a lot.

She needed to get out of here as soon as possible. She couldn't take it much longer. She just had one wish to be able to be near Spencer one more time before she died, that wasn't too much to ask for was it? Just a second to be engulfed in her arms and surrounded by her love then she could die.

One way or another she needed this to end.

######################################

ch.28

Ashley could feel something different in the air it made the hair on her arms stand at attention. Something was coming she just hoped that she survived it.

############################################

Spencer decided to send Ashley out on a reconnaissance mission. She wanted her to find the other pack so that she could get them to help out with the Kelly situation.

It is now a couple of hours later and Spencer's in the den when she hears a commotion outside. She walks to the entrance and looks out knowing that she can't be seen.

"I'm telling you she's here." Said a woman with her back to Spencer, but she would know that voice anywhere, it was Chelsea.

"I don't see anything, and when I don't see anything….." sneered the other voice out of sight of Spencer.

'That's Kelly…' thought Spencer. 'I wonder how she found me.'

"I'm sorry your highness but I can only lead you where I was led by the potion." Chelsea said as she kneeled on the ground in front of Kelly. That was when Kelly back handed her and she fell to the ground and rolled in a ball to protect her belly.

"Well maybe you need to redo the potion." Kelly said in a calm voice while she looked around the clearing. She stopped and stared at the base of the tree while she moved off to the side still staring at the base of the tree.

'She can see me.' Thought Spencer as she took a step back. 'Don't be foolish, you made sure the wards where in place your self.' She turned abruptly when she heard someone come up behind her, it was Glen. She turned around and motioned for him to slow down and be quiet. Then she turned back to the opening to see that Kelly and Chelsea had left the clearing. She looked around and that was when she noticed the smoke drifting from the east.

'I need to see what is going on…'

"Missy Spencer" Glen whispered.

She gestured for him to follow her into the den and then she turned to face him.

"I need to get out there and see what's going on." She said as she started walking in circles.

"Missy Spencer…" Glen tried to get her attention.

She didn't hear him she was thinking of what spell she could use, she turned to the fire and saw her pot hanging on the side. She walked towards it to see if maybe she could do something with it.

"MISSY SPENCER!" Glen said a little louder.

"What Glen?" snapped Spencer, "I don't have time for this, I need to see what I can come up with to see what's out there." She said as she dismissed him once again. "Water I need some water…" Spencer mumbled to her self. "…of course we didn't get any last night and now we can't go out to get some."

Glen just shook his head as he went back into the sleeping area and disappeared behind the curtain.

A few minutes later…..

"Where did that little imp go.." Spencer mumbled as she looked around for him.

She was just about to get mad when Glen came off around the curtain carrying a small bucket of water and stopped in front of her.

"Where did you get that?" Spencer asked as she pointed at the bucket Glen was carrying above his head.

"I's wents and gots its from the streams, Missy Spencer." He replied.

"How did you do that?" she asked as she arched and eyebrow at him.

"Throughs the back entrances." He replied as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Back entrance, what back entrance?" she asked him with pointed look.

"The one doggies made so that wes could runs if someone was trying to gets in heres and wes could escapes." He replied like it was no big deal.

"Where does it lead?" she asked.

"To thes stream."

"Can I get through it?" she asked.

He shrugged his shoulders and then replied. "It's would be easiers if you was my size."

"Show me." She demanded.

He went into the resting area under the cot against the wall and removed a large size rock or small boulder from in front of a foot wide hole in the wall.

'That will be a tight fit.' she thought to herself as she got to her knees and peered into the dark hole.

##########################################

Kelly was standing by the fire that the witch Chelsea was working by.

"Have you figured out what went wrong witch?" Kelly barked out.

"No, your highness." Chelsea said as she bowed her head.

Then Kelly felt a shift in the air and she turned towards it as a billowing black cloud came towards her and she fell to her knee with her head bent down to her chest. "Your majesty." She said as the black cloud stopped and a man stepped forward.

"Yessss." Was hissed out "You may rise. What have you found?"

"Nothing yet master." Kelly answered.

"She's near…." He said as he turned in a circle then continued. "…my blood sings for her." He said in a breathless whisper.

"Yes master that is what the witch says."

"Bring me your pet." He demanded as he turned towards Kelly once again.

"Yes master." Kelly replied as she turned towards the nearest guard. "You." She started when Arthur stopped her.

"I said you…..you bring me your pet."

She bowed her head and said. "As you wish master."

She stormed off towards the cage pushing people out of her way. When she reached the cage she jerked it open and leaned over Ashley who was still passed out in the middle of the cage.

"You better not be dead." Kelly snarled as she stood back up and kicked out with her right foot and kicked Ashley in the ribs. There was a loud crunch as well as a gasping sound.

"Good your awake." Kelly said. "Get up."

Nothing, Ashley didn't move.

"I said get up damn it." Kelly said as she went to kick her again.

Aiden stepped forward an eased around Kelly.

"Mistress?" Aiden asked.

Kelly whipped out her blade and stabbed him in the stomach. "Didn't think I knew who you were did you boy?" she asked as he grabbed his stomach trying to stench the flow of blood from his wound.

"All this time you've been waiting to kill me, to take revenge for your cousin's death and you couldn't even see what was in front of you." She said as she pointed to Ashley on the floor curled into a fetal position. "This is your brave an fearless leader." She said as she grabbed him by the hair and forced his head to look down. "Look what I did, I broke her, I defeated her, I took everything away from her and made her my pet." She said as she spit on Ashley.

"And know I've killed her last remaining family," she said, "you." ,then she released him and he fell to the side.

"How does it feel to know that I bested your whole damn race boy?"

Aiden looked up at her and replied as calmly and serenely as he could. "It's….not…over." He gasped out as he shuttered and took his last breath and his eyes clouded over in death.

"For you it is." She said as she grabbed Ashley by the hair and dragged her out of the cage back to the fire pits and back to her master.

She stopped just outside the circle and threw Ashley to her master's feet.

He reached down and picked her up and peered into her face. "What have you done?" He demanded as he turned and looked towards Kelly.

"I played with her and she couldn't keep her mouth shut." She replied nonchalantly as she shrugged her shoulders.

"I told you I needed her alive for this to work." He roared at her.

"You said I could play with her." She said.

"Play yes, kill no." he replied.

"It's not dead." She said as she stepped forward and dug her hand into Ashley's side and Ashley whimpered. "See."

"Not the point." He said as he released Ashley and she fell to the ground. He turned his glare onto the witch. "Did you find her."

At first Chelsea didn't look up as she was still kneeling with her head down. Not until she felt someone standing beside her, she looked up into the black eyes of King Arthur and replied. "Not yet your majesty."

He gripped her hair and lifted her up with the force of his will. She wrapped her hands around the top of her head to keep him from pulling out her hair and hung on. He reached forward and placed his palm on her belly. "It's a were kitten." He stated.

Kelly growled and started forward. "Stop." He demanded. "I know you wanted to annihilate all the Were's but this one I have a need for." He said as he said a spell under his breath and the nail on his index finger grew until it was as long as a switch blade and just as sharp.

"Please." Begged Chelsea over and over. "No…..no….please." she said as she started to struggle harder to get free.

"Now now we will be having none of that." He replied. As he focused on her belly and sliced her open from her pelvic bone to her breast bone and then he thrust his hand inside her belly and ripped the yowling baby out." He released Chelsea from his magical hold and she crumpled to the forest floor dead before her head hit the ground.

"See if you can keep this one alive until I have a need for it." He stated as he threw it towards Kelly.

Kelly caught the screaming Were Cat and held it by the scruff of the neck away from her body. She glared at it the entire time.

"Now..." He said. "Spencer dear won't you please come out and give your Uncle a hug." No response.

"Spencer." Said a little more loudly this time. "Do come out." Nothing moved.

"Don't make me kill this sack of bones because you didn't have the decency to come out when I asked you so nicely."

Spencer was just crawling out of the cave by the stream when she heard her Uncle and her blood ran cold.

"Hold her here for me will you?" she heard him ask someone. "Now I'll be nice and give you a few moments alone with your love if you'll come out now." He said once again.

At that moment Glen took off towards the voice as fast as he could. "No's you don't hurt doggies." He yelled as he jumped at Arthur's leg.

Arthur just laughed at him as Glen went threw him and landed in heap behind him.

"THAT'S NOTS FUNNY." He said as he got up and ran towards him again only this time he stopped before he even reached his target.

"Now little man, what is the meaning of this?" Arthur asked as he brought Glen right up to his face.

Glen bared his teeth and his tail switched back and forth with his impatience.

"Spencer won't you be a dear and come out here?" He asked again.

"No" he said, then he crushed his hand in a fist in the air in front of Glen and Glen screamed out in agony as his body curled in on itself and blood oozed out from his crevices.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO" Spencer yelled.

"Ah, so you are out there." Arthur said as he let Glen fall to the forest floor next to Ashley.

"Doggies." Glen was able to get out as he reached his hand out to Ashley before his eyes closed for the last time.

Kelly handed the Were cub to another guard standing next to her as she gripped Ashley by the throat and raised her up on her toes in front of Arthur.

"I'll only ask nicely once more Princess. Please won't you come out?" he said.

Spencer didn't see any way out of it everyone she loved was dying before her eyes and there wasn't anything she could do about it. She wiped her tears on the sleeve of her garment and sniffled as she started to stand up, but her foot caught on a root and forced her back down to the ground.

"I'll give you a little more incentive dear Spencer. What do you say I throw in Kelly? See what she did to your mate? Don't you want revenge?" He asked as he walked around Kelly and Ashley.

"I'll tell you what, I will count to ten. If I don't see you by then I'll do something drastic." He said as he continued to walk around Kelly and Ashley.

"One"

"Two"

"Three"

"Four"

"Five"

"Six"

"Seven"

"Eight"

Here he stopped as he looked towards the stream, he could see something moving and he knew that he had her attention as he walked behind Kelly her head came off and blood spurted all over Ashley as she fell once more to the forest floor.

"There I took care of that for you." He said as he looked down on Kelly once more and then he dusted his hands off. "Now don't you think we can be friends?" He asked as he continued counting.

"Nine"

"Ten"

"Well I guess she doesn't care about you as much as you thought." He said as he looked down on Ashley and raised his hand out in front of him towards her. Just as he was about to release his power on her he was taken down by a savage wolf frothing at the mouth.

'It's Ashley' thought Spencer, just before the wolf went flying across the clearing and slammed into a tree as it then slid down to the ground in a lifeless heap.

"Now…where was I?" asked Arthur as he went back towards Ashley.

"No….no please I'm here." Spencer said as she burst into the clearing on the other side of the fire.

"I see, but you did take longer then I gave you….I think you need a lesson little girl." He said as he whipped his hand towards Spencer and it caused her to crumple to the ground like a bag of bricks.

Then he waved his hand in the air and released her. Spencer crawled the rest of the way to Ashley. As she reached her she gasped in surprise at her appearance.

"Oh, Ashley." she said as she took her in her arms.

"Don't you make a cute couple." He sneered as he stooped down in front of them.

Spencer scooted them back away from him until her back hit the tree that wolf Ashley was laying under. Spencer reached her hand out to grasp the wolf by the hair but then she noticed that it wasn't breathing.

"Where do you think your going dear?" Arthur asked as more guards appeared around the clearing. "There's no where you can go." He said as he waved his hand around the clearing chuckling to himself.

"Bring them forward." He ordered as more guards came forward with the rest of what was left of Ashley's pack. "See." He said. "No where for you to go."

Spencer looked around at all the anguished faces. She saw Carmen and Madison and they both had there eyes on the fallen body of Chelsea.

Arthur cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. "If you give me your word you won't try to get away I'll give you a few moments alone with your loved one." He said as he looked Spencer in the eyes.

"I give you my word as a Fae Princess." She said as she lifted her head high.

"Good." He said as he turned around and walked to the other side of the fire.

"Ashley…" she whispered as she leaned down and placed a kiss on the side of her head.

"mmmm m mmm" Ashley mumbled as she snuggled closer to Spencer.

"Baby…." Spencer said as she brushed Ashley's hair out of her face, then she gasped and put her hand over her mouth as she shakily said "I'm here.", and then tightened her hold on Ashley.

Ashley squirmed as she felt someone with their arms wrapped around her, at first she thought she was dreaming then she heard Spencer's voice and she tried to burrow into her, to become a part of her. This is what love feels like. Now I can die. She thought as she struggled to move a little closer.

"Shhh, I'm here." Spencer said as she started rocking back and forth.

Spencer looked towards Arthur who was motioning for some men that were setting something up, what she couldn't see at the moment.

####################################################

'It's not a dream.'

'It's not a dream.'

'Please don't let it be a dream?' mumbled Ashley to herself

'It's not a dream; I know it's not a dream.' Thought Ashley, as she started getting her bearings.

Then she heard the sweetest sound it was Spencer's voice. She tried to get as close to her as she could she wanted to become one with her to feel all her love to become apart of that love, to feel the warmth of that love.

Then she heard Arthur and she started to shake, she didn't mean to but she couldn't help it. She squeezed her hand around the medallion that Chelsea gave her so long ago until she could feel wetness in her palm and she knew with out a doubt that it was blood, her blood, and she knew that it was only a matter of time before she died. She took Spencer by the hand and pressed said medallion into it. Maybe it would help her where it couldn't help her.

##################################################

Spencer looked down at the blood in her hand and she saw the medallion that she had used to heal the wolf Ashley.

'How did she get this?' She asked her self. Then she shook her head for she knew what she could do with this. She started chanting the spell that was engraved on it over and over only this time she intertwined it with her spell of restoring Ashley as a Were as well.

She was so focused on her spell that she didn't even respond to Arthur when he came over and stood in front of her. In fact she paid no attention to him what so ever she was so transfixed on Ashley's face. She was seeing the subtle differences. She could see the scarring around where her eyes were suppose to be becoming softer. The incision around the mouth healing the smell of infection was going away. She was brought back to the present by someone grabbing her by the upper arm and jerking her up and causing Ashley to fall to the forest floor again, and dragging across the clearing to what looked like an alter.

"I did ask nicely." Arthur said as he threw her on top of the alter and ordered the guards to restrain her.

She refused to look at him as she continued to chant under her breath, she was focused only on Ashley. She could feel her getting stronger, but she could also feel herself getting weaker. So when Arthur reached out his hand and thrusted it into her chest she didn't put up a fight.

##################################

ch.29

Still Not A Faerie Princess The conclusion….

Ashley couldn't believe it, she was growing stronger, not only stronger but she felt as if her whole self was coming together. Her eyesight was coming back, dimly at first and then more clearly. The first thing she saw was a large russet wolf that was lying on the ground beside her she reached out her hand towards it when it seemed to become a mist and it was absorbed into her body through her hand.

That was when her body went rigid and then relaxed. She tried looking around the area and then she noticed other people around her and she was in the middle of a clearing surrounded by woods.

Where was Spencer she knew that she had felt her, she had heard her as well. She was here, that was when she noticed an alter on the other side of the clearing.

She could tell that she was staring at Arthur's back when all of a sudden he blinked out of existence. One moment he was there then there was a bright flash of light that she had to protect her eyes from and then he was just gone. All she could see after that was Spencer, and she watched as the life drained out of her eyes. She looked around to see if anyone was close enough to help her get to her, when she noticed that all the guards and ghouls collapsed to the ground and withered around in pain, and then they began to disappear.

What was left of her so called pack just stared slack jawed at the scene in front of them frozen as if in shock.

She tried scooting herself across the clearing and with each inch that traversed she became stronger, until finally she was up and running the rest of the way.

When she reached the alter she wrapped herself tightly around Spencer and collapsed to the ground cradling her to her. She leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead while her tears fell down her face. Spencer was gone and there wasn't a damn thing she or anyone here could do about it.

Why did she survive this hell only to be healed and to lose the one she loved more then life itself? Why were the fates so cruel to them?

"WHY, DAMN IT WHY?" she yelled out to no one in particular, wrapping her arms more tightly around Spencer.

Why couldn't they get a break?

Why?

Why?

Why?

She continued to mumble over and over as she rocked back and forth.

She didn't notice, as what was left of the pack slinked back into the forest and faded out of sight.

Then everything around her changed. At first she didn't notice it, but when she became weightless and the hairs on her arms stood up and the ground was no longer under her she opened her eyes. At first she didn't see anything it was pitch black. No light what so ever could be seen at first. Then it started out as a pinprick and it grew in size until it was about the size of a softball. It hovered in front of her face. It was green or maybe blue with purple, or was it yellow and orange with a little red thrown in. It was every color in the rainbow at once yet one solid color as well. It was beautiful is what it was and it took her breath away.

At first nothing happened and she tightened her hold on Spencer again.

"Do not be afraid little one; I will not harm you or the one you love."

She heard in her head, as the sphere in front of her shimmied with each word.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" she asked as she shielded Spencer from the entity and glared at it as well.

"I only wish to help."

"Help….Help….How can you help? Can you bring her back to me?" she asked almost desperately.

"Atlas, that is not in my power little one."

"Then I don't need your help." Ashley growled rather forcefully.

"I guess you would not then."

Ashley cocked her head to the side as she looked at the sphere in front of her and a peace flooded through her.

"Little one, if it pleases you may I make a suggestion?"

Ashley nodded yes.

"Let me help with your burden."

Ashley gasped as Spencer was lifted out of her arms and laid or rather floated towards the sphere. Before her body reached there Ashley lunged forward and wrapped her arms around her waist and held on for dear life.

"NO!" she yelled. "You, you can't have her."

"I only meant to ease your discomfort. I was not going to take her anywhere."

"She's fine where she is at." She said as she hugged her to her once again as her tears continued.

"Who are you?" Ashley asked again as her tears slowed once again.

"Who I am is not important, but what I offer is."

"What do you offer?" Ashley asked with a little trepidation in her voice.

"I offer her another chance at life." The entity said as it floated in front of her.

"Wait, I thought you said you couldn't bring her back?" Ashley asked.

"I said I couldn't bring her back… to you."

"But you can bring her back?...Back to life I mean….That's what you said, right?"

"Yes little one I can."

"Then what are you waiting for? Do it." She demanded as she shoved Spencer's body lovingly out in front of her.

"I want you to be aware of the consequences." The disembodied voice said aloud.

"I don't care about the damn consequences. I only care that she'll be living and breathing again." She said as tears poured down her face.

"Now fix her." She demanded.

"No little one it's not that easy."

"What do you mean it's not that easy? You said you could do it, now do it."

"Everything you know will not exist anymore. The one you love, you will not know. What I mean is you will have an empty spot in your life and you won't know why. You will be like a half of a whole torn apart. Your perception will change. You will remember coming out of a great battle and winning but not knowing what you lost… You will lose all memory of her. This is the price that I ask."

"But she will be alive."

"Yes."

"Then do it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Then so be it."

"Wait." Ashley threw up her arms as she hugged Spencer to her once again.

"Yes?"

"Can I have a moment? Please." She asked.

"This is a safe place; you may have as long as you need." The entity said.

"Thank you." Ashley said as she once again stared at Spencer's face.

"I love you with all that I am and all that I will ever be." She said as she stroked the hair out of Spencer's face and traced her fingers across her lips and eyes and cheekbones.

"You are my heart and soul. I will belong to you and only you for all eternity…..nothing can change that."

Her tears returned as she hugged her to her tightly not wanting to let her go.

After a few moments which seemed like hours Ashley leaned forward to place a gentle kiss on Spencer lips and whispered. "I…Love…You." Then she released her. She watched as Spencer was engulfed by the orb and then she vanished.

Ashley couldn't stop her tears as she fell to her knees and cried uncontrollably into her hands.

Then she felt a hand on her head a heat engulfed her body as if she was on fire.

"Little One do not cry."

She heard but she couldn't stop as she curled into a ball wanting to end her suffering for all eternity.

"You will not remember this. As I said before your perception will change and nothing will be the same. As a gift I give you back all your loved ones that this blackness has taken away from you, all but your mate for her fate is sealed and even I can not change it."

And with a loud pop Ashley awoke in her bed in her apartment. She shot straight up and looked around.

"Nothing" she said as she flopped back on the bed and flung her hand across her forehead and went back to sleep.

THE END?

##############################

Still Not A Faerie Princess: Epilogue

Six or so months later.

Spencer was outside a club on a busy sidewalk waiting. She was waiting for the love of her life, one Ashley Marie Davies. It had been so long since she had seen her that it hurt her heart to even think of it.

Then she saw her, and everything else around her dropped away.

She was walking up the sidewalk along with Kyla and Madison, but she only had eyes for her. She didn't look like her usual exuberant self. She looked run down and weary to the bone. She was smiling and talking but she was putting up a front for those around her. I could tell all this in those few short seconds that I had looked upon her before her eyes connected with mine and an electrical charge went through my entire being. She felt it to for in that exact instance she stumbled but she was caught by Madison and drug towards the club entrance but before she could get all the way through the door she looked back at me and bounced off the door frame. She looked up and blushed then she rushed into the club.

Spencer looked over her shoulder to see if anyone was following her then she mumbled "The Powers That Be may have made Ashley agree to an ending but they never said that I couldn't create a new one." She smiled then followed Ashley into the club.

#############################

Thank you for being patient with me. I will be putting up the next installment (Not Quiet a Faerie Princess) of this series shortly, and it is finished for those that are still interested in it.
