Seize the Palace

Leo was remaining in the shadows moving as little as possible in an attempt to make sure the guards wouldn't hear him. Taylor was perched on a tree branch listening for any movement of the guards to see when to swoop in and attack to protect Leo. Kaline and Jordan were both hiding in the trees of the forest near the castle, waiting for the moment to go in.

Leo held his breath before he put his guns to the back of two guards heads he pulled the trigger and as soon as they fell he hid back in the shadows. He saw more officers appear and shot them as well, he kept on repeating as Kaline grabbed Jordan's hand and ran inside the castle. Taylor continued to watch waiting for the moment Leo signals for her help.

When Kaline and Jordan entered the castle they went straight to the wall to hide in the shadows. Kaline took out her gun before she ran to look for the king as Jordan waited in the shadows.

She ran through the halls, the parlors, the rooms, until she finally saw him. Alric was sitting on his large black and red throne in the throne room. He was just staring off into space not speaking, not moving, it seemed like he wasn't even breathing. She ran in and went behind his throne she slowly raised her gun to the back of his head and was about to shoot when suddenly she heard him shift in his seat. She ran to a corner of the room where she could hide in the shadows as she watched him turn to look behind the throne.

"Your majesty?" a guard questioned.

He remained silent as Kaline aimed for his head when suddenly she was tackled down and her arms were pulled behind her back. "Crap!" She watched the gun fall and slide til it hit Alric's feet and he picked it up off the ground.

"I knew it had to have been you."

"Jordan!"

"So they are here."

"Jordan!"

"It's such a shame."

"Jordan!"

Alric knelt down in front of her and laid his hands on the side of her face. "You're just a little girl."

"Damn it! I need to do something."

Suddenly it came to her.

"I couldn't…" Alric whispered.

"Taylor!"

The sound of her voice echoed in Taylor's ear and she flew into the castle where she squealed louder than she ever had before. Jordan jumped before he ran to look for Kaline.

"... Damn it…"

"... I don't know how I can do this."

Suddenly the ground started to shake causing Alric to fall, the guards let go of Kaline and ran to him but as soon as they started to help Alric up Kaline sped away, she quickly grabbed Jordan and they ran to the forest where they found Taylor back in her human form and Leo waiting for them.

"... Sorry Leo," Kaline sighed.

"We just weren't ready," Jordan claimed.

"We killed about half of the kings guards, almost killed him, completely destroyed the base of his castle and I only used two guns. I think we're ready enough."

They all laughed, "We just have to wait a little bit, but we can't be in one place anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"We need to go deeper, and leave this place for good. From now on we'll be on the move."

"So we have to leave?"

"But this is our home."

"It's not our home anymore."

"... Leo's right."

"It'll be best."

"... Though I think we should do one more thing."
