A/N - I'm trying to write this altogether in a few days because I know what I'm like for finishing things. Also I never mentioned in the first two chapters but the POV switches from Reid to Morgan so we're back to Reid or Argentum if you wanna get technical.


Prince Argentum POV

I had done it! I had ensnared him enough so that he would obey my voice and I had sang our song the one that I was destined to pass on to my mate. Every fiary that is born has a song hidden in their subconscious that they only truly know when they have met their life partner.

My intension had been to sit on the bed and watch him sleep like I always did but after speaking to him that wasn't good enough and before I knew the wordless hum that had haunted me from a young age suddenly had lyrics. I sang it now as I flew round my bedroom dancing on my feet on the ground then swooping up onto the candle chandelier and swinging from it like a monkey.

The beat of my giant white and silver wings kept the beat of our song and as I twirled through the air I wasn't sure what made me dizzier the flying in circles or the overflowing emotions boiling inside me. Then I heard the slam of my bedroom door opening and I stopped mid swirl.

"Your majesty!" it was Solana out of breath her wings dragging along the floor from exhaustion as she ran into my room.

"Oh Solana" I cried swooping down and taking hold of her hands and held them above her head so that I could circle her in the air and she could join in my dance from the floor.

"Prince-"

"I sang to him Solana he's mine" I finally landed and we began to waltz round my room.

"No! Prince Argentum he's human you can't-"

"It's meant to be I sang my song to him we're suppose to be together I knew it!"

"Please your majesty-" she managed to get out of my grasp "-this has to stop!" She took a deep breath to calm herself before speaking again "Your parents found out about your visits to this human and they are displeased."

"You mean my father is displeased" I corrected her bitterly "that pompous self-promoting fool!"

"He is right young Prince" she pleaded with me "even if this human is your chosen mate it is forbidden to be with a human!"

"You would think that in this situation he would understand my feeling for Derek but oh no the great King Teine wont listen to even the pleas of his on son!" I crossed my arms across my naked chest in annoyance then sighed heavily "I have a feeling that in their discovery of my visits to humans is warranting me a visit?"

Solana just nodded and flew up to my bed that was a small space carved into the wall of the giant tree our kingdom lay in. She floated down holding my hideous long robes that royalty had to wear "You know it upsets her when you don't wear you robes" she appealed to my better nature. The nature that cared what my mother Queen Samhradh thought and wanted nothing more than to please her.

I scowled at the long green robe and snatched it from her pulling it on, Solana helping to slot my unnaturally large wings through the slots. As a member of the royal family we naturally have larger wings than normal fay but for some reason I have the largest of them all, sweeping the floor even when they sit in their normal posed position for flight. However I must admit that my wings are my best feature with the twinkle of the silver that when catching the light fills the room with a magnificent glow.

Once the robe was on I pulled out my long golden hair that reached easily past my knees from the inside the robe and let Solana pull it into a messy plait. Hideous but suitable and practical as my mother would say "Please tie the robe your majesty please!"

"It's bad enough that I have to wear this foul thing when nearly every other fiary does have to I'm not making it worse by tying it!" I snapped as I let the robe fly open covering nothing for my modesty (not that I have any).

But before Solana could argue my bedroom doors flung open dramatically making me roll my eyes, he always has to make an entrance. Two male fay held the doors open as my parents glided into the room their long robes hiding their feet giving the impression they hovered in.

My father was as always high puffed out head raised up so that he looked down his nose to glare at me with narrow dark eyes. His equally dark hair was tied back in a perfect pony tail not a hair out of place and the stone crown that sat on his head looked like it would fit nobody but him. Of course his wings were spread out behind him like a male peacock a mixture of turquoise and dark green.

My mother on the other hand was smiling at me as always, her kind eyes a soft cloudy blue played against of her waist length sun coloured hair beautifully. The little silver tiara that lay on her head entwined with little pink flowers was as delicate as she was. However her wings did not show that delicateness very well, her left wing showing the beautiful pink and lilac colour spectacularly the crippled remains of her right hung dead at her side mangled and ripped.

I couldn't taken my eyes off it for a second, thinking about that dreaded day when the whole kingdom had heard her screams of agony and my fathers shouts and threats that if she didn't survive the fay who were trying to help her would die to. An attack from the Winter fay had left my mother unable to fly and proved that they were indeed as strong and cruel as their reputation.

"Argentum darling" my mother's soft voice cooed as she floated towards me and embraced me. I returned the hug gripping her tight and hoping I wasn't causes her damaged wing discomfort.

"Samhradh don't coddle the boy we're hear to discipline him!" my father snapped making me and my mother pull apart.

"Yes so I've heard can I at least know my crime?" I glared back at him standing my ground.

"You know that it is forbidden to get to close to humans Argentum and I would think that someone of your breeding and position would follow the rules!"

I 'hmphed' and turned my back to them moving over to my window "Forbidden is a word I hear frequently in this kingdom especially when humans are involved."

"They are dangerous you know that they have no respect for our kind and they care nothing for the earth they destroy." My father's voice changed then to something like a persuading tone "Do you really think that I want to see you hurt."

I turned to look out the window down into the roots of the tree where hundreds of Summer fay zoomed around going about their days. I sighed "Father they don't even believe that we exist so how can they respect us?"

"It is better for them and us if they do not know now please listen to reason."

"Your father is right my love" my mother piped in places a hand on my shoulder.

"I found my song" I stated simply hoping that they would somehow link this seemly random piece of information to our current conversation.

"Well then that wonderful isn't it Teine?" my mother squeezed my shoulder.

"I...guess so but don't change the subject" my father huffed obviously caught between happy that I had found my mate and still upset about my human obsession.

"I'm not changing the subject father" I turned to look him in the eye knowing that I couldn't avoid his gaze for this bombshell. "My life partner is -" I gulped "- the human I've been watching."

The colour of King Teine's face went from pale with shock to red with fury "WHAT?"

"Now Teine!" my mother warned nervously.

"It's not like it's my choice I just got really close to him tonight and it happened" I said simply as my father started to pace the room. I tried again "Please try to understand I know its suppose to be forbidden to seduce a human but I know that our own people have down it in the past and that's not what I want. This is a commitment I want to make to Derek."

"I understand alright" my father snarled and he stopped pacing. He then puffed out his chest even more and his regal demeanour was back "As the King of the Summer fay I need to think about the best interests of all my people and as my son you should be doing the same. You are a royal Prince and you know the penalty for getting to close to humans-" my throat dried with fear because I did indeed know the penalty, it was death "- however you are the heir to the throne and we have no other children so I will give you one last chance."

I sighed, you might be surprised to hear this but my father wouldn't think twice about my life if I was endangering his kingdom and I respect that. "Father please-"

"NO!" he yelled and I winced my wings drooping in despair "I will no longer let you indulge in this fantasy lover you are hereby forbidden -" there's that word again " - to leave you room and if I hear of you returning to this human once more I will not be so lenient next time!"

Then he turned and began to storm out my room "No please father you can't do that!"

"Teine dear" my mother implored.

I could feel tears welling in the corners of my eyes "I'm meant to be with him would you honestly deny me the one person I'm destined for?" But he was gone so I turned to my mother in the hope of support but she wore a sad expression "Mother please...talk to him please" I begged my voice shaking with grief.

She sighed "Argentum my love maybe this is for the best." I stared at her in disbelief stung by her betrayal "You know that a human would not adapt to fiary life if you tried to change him and I would hate to loss my only child to the human world."

My face twisted with rage "I may stay in this room as a prisoner but you have already lost me!" I hissed and I turned so that my words would be lost to the guilt for my mother's heartbroken face.

She didn't even say anything she just left quietly closing my door behind her and the moment it clicked shut I crumbled to the floor. My tears flowed freely now but I didn't make a sound I would not give the guards that had no doubt been placed outside my door the embarrassing sounds of my sadness.

I knew that if I wanted to ever see Derek again I would have to abandon my home and family my birthright as my father s successor. But as much as that pained me I could not live without seeing Derek again or having the chance to finally hold him. In that second I made my decision and moved onto my feet and towards the window looking out again.

Just as I expected groups of my father s archers were being positioned under my window and other areas in case I tried to escape by flight. I smirked I not only have the largest wings but I also have the fastest and I'll be long gone before they can shoot a single arrow. So I rose myself on the window ledge preparing myself for flight, just as voices from below started to shout.

I took off putting all my power in my wings so that I was travelling as fast as possible just as the arrows started soaring around me making a strange whistling sound in my ears. My smile never faulted as I swerved and manoeuvred my way through the sky. Then I felt a searing pain in my left shoulder not even an inch from my wing making me gasp out loud.

I'd been hit but I couldn't slow down even though I could feel the blood soaking my robe, it didn't matter I wasn't planning to keep it. I just had to make it the rest of the way to Derek and I would finally introduce myself properly even though I had imagined it might be more romantic or at least I hadn't envisioned that I'd be bleeding or that I just been made homeless from banishment.

But a healthy relationship should have an interesting beginning I think.


A/N - phew that was a toughie for me to write hope you like and again thank you all for your reviews.
