Chapter 3

The room and windows heavily surrounded by guards to make sure no one would get in to harm the prince who was curious of where his twin sister that hadn't ever left his side wandered off to. Celestine whispered staring at Rogue who had his arm surrounding her head. "I can't reach them." She whispered tears occurring in her eyes. Rogue sweet nothings to sooth his recently awoken wife.

"Why...does it always turn out this way?" She whispered leaning against the pillow her eyes looked like heavy things. Her voice sounded so weak, fragile as she stared up towards Rogue. He brushed her hair out of her eyes. Another sweet whisper bubbled in his chest.

There was a feeling that echoed inside his chest, both familiar and different from its previous habit. He had the possibility to make a mistake that was similar to the one with his mother.

"I'll find her. We'll be right back, I've instructed Totomaru that you aren't feeling well he's to stay with you until you get back."

"But he's worse than a doting granny."

"Minerva then?"

"No. She can't know. She's still trying to find where she feels she belongs..we can't do that to her"

"Granny-Toto it is then." Celestine scoffed against Rogue's joke as he leaned down kissing her forehead, an action he had picked up when they were teens, before heading out.

Rogue shut the door behind him his eyes fires that could challenges the pits of hell. His brother lingered outside the door, with such a look didn't need to be explained. It was easy to tell what was blazing in their chest caverns. "We're going on a hunt. A hunt that will only end with the ripping out of some throats." Rogue growled.

Sting punched his hands together in reply, "wouldn't have it any other way." Sting smiled, his original nature vanished, that smile was replaced with something grotesque.

"Are we at war?" Sting asked as Rogue's eyes flashed towards Sting.

"We aren't starting a war." There was a pause as Rogue pushed open the front castle door heading out into the night wind blowing his hair around violently. "We're going to make a massacre" The growl edged its way out from his throat.

"About time. They have a crime that will in the lightest of punishments bring them to their knees upon mention." Sting growled his powers almost flowing out of him as he cracked his knuckles.

They cracked the gate open where several guards stood, Totomaru leading the pack in the darkness, another group of guards changing their shift. They were short staffed tonight as the other soldiers ran amok in the woods looking for their Queen and princess, and waiting their king. Hushed whispers radiated at the gate. "Are you sure?" Totomaru met them at the gate, getting off of his horse as Totomaru stroked the black stallion's face. Rogue nodded receiving a disappointed look from Totomaru. "Rogue. You're exhausted."

"Are you going to stop me?"

"Don't rush. I know that look of malice, too well."

"I thank you for your advice, please go to Celestine's side."

"She's ill again?" There was a silence.

"Yes."

"I understand the drill, no guards get in or out no one gets to see her."

"Yes."

"Hurry up and find your daughter."

"Yes"

The last final growl wasn't the stiff yes-es of indecision. But instead that last growl.

Was something fierce. And malicious.
