I took a step back in shock as his silvery eyes watched me. Why me? Why would he even want me? Thousands of thoughts ran through my head as Midhir waited for my answer. Taking a breath, I kept my arms pressed tightly against me as another rush of wintery wind hit me.
"If I went with you…would you release my mother?" I said seeing Midhir smirk, what in the world was I doing?
"I suppose that would be fair. Then we have a deal, you come with me and I release your mother." He said holding out his hand to shake hands when I took another step back.
"And you release Sonic." I said as his brow furrowed.
"I wouldn't push it so, Anita. I'll release your mother, but the hedgehog stays." He said as I felt my heart clench up. I'm so sorry mom.
"No deal. If Sonic isn't freed either then I won't agree." I said biting back tears at the thought of leaving my mom.
"Even if it means leaving behind your own mother, the woman who gave you the life and breath you have now?" He said amused as I nodded tears in my eyes.
"Yes, Goodbye." I said then forced myself to turn my back on him and walk. Each step was more painful than the first, but I had only taken ten steps when a huge gust of wind hit me then the sound of a voice.
"Anita!" I whirled on my heel to see King Midhir standing in the same place but beside him was a white rabbit with light brownish/redish hair.
"Mom!" I said then I really wanted to cry. But this was my chance to get Sonic free too, the world needs him. But I also need my mom…
"I've decided that I'll release both." Midhir said as I walked back to them. Another gust of wind hit me as leaves whirled around in a circle, when I opened my eyes I saw Sonic standing next to Midhir.
"Anita don't do this! Don't trust him! Get out of here!" Sonic said taking a step towards me when he was yanked back by Midhir. I looked to Sonic and my mom then sighed with tears in my eyes.
"I'll go with you." I said as my mom's eyes widened, I kept my head down I couldn't see the dissapointment in their eyes.
"I do have one last requierment if you want both of them released." Midhir said as I looked up to him, what more could he want? I was already going to be stuck in the unseelie court for the rest of my existence, working from dawn to dusk, at least that was what I thought. What else is there?
"My last requierment is that you become my queen." My heart stopped as Sonic's eyes widened.
"No! Anita, you can't! You'll never get out! Don't do this!" He pleaded as I took a breath and held my head high. I'm so sorry guys.
"I accept, King Midhir." I said my voice cracking as I heard him chuckle then I heard the clink of chains, looking up I saw Sonic's collar laying on the ground along with a chain of gold from my mother. I cried out as another gust of wind hit me, one moment I was standing in front of Midhir then the next I was beside him, his hand clasped on my arm.
"Anita, no!" Sonic shouted then the wind picked up again this time spinning around Midhir and I, I kept my eyes closed afraid of what I might see. But when I opened my eyes again, we were no longer in the forest but in the throne room of a palace.
"May I present your future queen!" Midhir shouted as I looked around to see several different creatures in the room, my heart pounded against my ribs as cheers echoed around the room. Oh god. What have I done. What have I done…
