32

I probably spoke to soon because not long after thunder and lighting roared under the dark sky. Alex has come and he is full of strength and ability. Ability to kill us all.

"Spread out guards!" called Twilight, "Lucas, Theo, Luna, Gabriela and Jason grab a weapon from the palace and spread out! NOW!

We each got ourselves swords and daggers to defend what's about to come.

"Spread out and here take these communicators in case one of us needs help and stay connected." Jason said giving us each a small communicator to attach to our clothes.

"Be careful you guys." I said while giving them a hug.

"You too, gabby." Luna said, and ran off.

The wind started to pick up as I ran far North, but still close to Alex.

"Well look at what we have here, the little princess who rescued her darling friends." Alex said staring with his cold, gray eyes.

"What do you really want Alex?" I asked, with fear but steady.

"I want to rule the world just like your parents did."

"Why? Being the ruler of the world is for people that can make the world a better. And you, Alex will never make that happen."

"Oh yes I can, by killing you all!" Alex roared and slashed his sword across my waist within a blink in the eye. That was too easy for him, I thought I had him on my own. At that point I felt...useless.

"BACK OFF, JERK!" Theo yelled while snatching the sword out of Alex's hands.

My eyes started to go dark when I hit the ground, I saw my blood spill from my waist. 

"Get her inside!" Luna yelled, with my head rested on her lap.

Guards carried me inside a Med-x room and lay me down on a bed.

"Is she going to be alright?" I hear Lucas say in the most quietest tone.

"She should be fine after this healer soup and some rest." A female voice said which was maybe was the nurse.

"What's in the healer soup?" Theo asked.

"It's a special flower that heals the body during a rest." The nurse said.

"I think we should leave her to get some rest." Theo said lacing his fingers in mine.

As he pulled his hand away to join the others, I held on tight.

"Don't leave me." I said softly, but hurt.

"I won't ever leave you as long as I live, Gabriela, but right now you need to get some rest." Theo knelt down beside my bed. 

"Theo, I feel useless. I-I couldn't even defend myself. I need to go out there and prove that I am more than just a nobody." I struggled to stay those words, but if I am the princess I need to be able to protect my people and my kingdom.

"Hey, you're not useless and you're defiantly not a nobody. You are so much more, Gabriela. look at you, you've become a strong princess, after being stuck all alone for so many years. Don't worry about not being able to defend yourself, it's your first time, you'll get used to it eventually. Trust me, ok? Just right now, get some rest. We'll handle Alex."

"But I-"

"Here, I know what will make you feel better. My dad would sing this song to me every night."

Theo paused, then sang in the most beautiful melody ever.

Just before the song ended, I fell asleep and Theo left, leaving his song with me.
