The leaves crunched beneath my paws as I trotted through the flaming forest. The sun was just beginning to burst over the horizon and the entire scene around me looked like something out of a painting,. Picturesque, beautiful and pure, to bad I was there to taint the image.
My coat was a deep pitch black that was matted in knots and burs from traveling so deep through the forest.
I lumbered through the woods quite ungracefully as I limped over to a nearby stream. I needed to wash all this blood off. If I walk around with this on any longer it could attract unwanted attention, and I don't feel like getting in another fight today .
A growl rippled through my chest as I remember just who had caused these wounds. Oberon, the damn king of the fairies thought he could command me! ME! I am ruled by no one, most certainly not some lazy summer fey.
"You WILL do this wolf, you have no choice in this matter" he had commanded.
"No!" I snarled, " She is a child! A POOR DEFENSELESS CHILD. She knows nothing of this world and nothing of you, she poses no threat" I argued, my words barely understandable above the deep rumbling in my chest.
"She poses a threat to the standing of myself and my court, imagine if Mab got a hold of my daughter. Imagine what kind of torture Brin would go through. This…this ….execution is a mercy" the king said, assuring himself more than I.
"This is no MERCY, this …this is slaughter" I thundered, but the ignorant man paid me no heed.
"Your a mercenary, a killer, you belong to neither court so that you may work for both . You have seen and caused more death than the reaper herself , so why do you wait now? Why do you hesitate?"
"She is…..a child…..a baby, you would kill your own kin?"
"To Protect my people…yes" he answered.
"You mean to protect yourself! She is your only child. Are you concerned for your people or your crown?" I challenged, and that, I believe is where he hit his breaking point.
"ENOUGH" he bellowed, "You will obviously not help, GAURDS! Get him out of my territory and out of the Nevernever.
I fought bravely after that. Dozens of guards must have come after me and I slaughter everyone of them, but that's not to say I didn't get a few nicks and scraps in the process. I fled to the human world as soon as I could but not without some pretty bad damage.
I laid down by the damp bank of the stream, slowly trying to calm the pulsing rage the memory had brought back.
"Safe" I thought. "I'll keep her safe, she deserves it…she deserves at shot at life….she deserves what I never had."
A/N: Ello there, so I know there will be some questions to this story like Where is Megan and Ash in this story? Or is why is Oberon so OOC? the answers are coming up, everything will be explained. This story will have taken place years and years before Meghan was even born so…..ya keep that in mind. Oh and this story is almost like a prequel to my other story playing with puzzles which I am also working on right now….but things wont really add up till the end…so…ya. Please read and review :{
