Chapter three

Two days passed and the royals would soon meet the young princess. The princess was told by her protector to put her hood on.

Both of them could see carriages coming their way. Soon the carriages came to a stop in front of them. Someone exited and Milena couldn't help but amire her. The lavished dress and jewelry she wore also with the crown she wore Milena thought her to be someone very wealthy or a queen. And then another person exited and Milena looked him up and down. It wouldn't be exaggerated if you say that she was drooling over him. A crown was on his head as well. Was she in the company of royals she thought.

"Both of them are ruler's of their own kingdoms." The figure's voice chimed in. Princess Milena became flustered as both of them were in the highest status and she was blushing.

"And who might you be?" The woman's voice drew Milena in and she hesitantly answered. "Princess Milena of Suerla...um, w-who are you?" Shock and disbelief made both of them stunned and Milena quickly realized what she said. "I'm sorry, it must be hard to believe. But I am their daughter. They always wanted a son and they blamed me because I was born a girl." Some tears left Milena's eyes and she wiped them away. "Well it's no doubt that you're of royal blood and if what you say is true than we both will discussed this at the meeting, princess Milena." His voice had moved her that he cared.

Princess Milena sobbed and the woman reacted by hugging her and asked her if she wanted to stay in the carriage with her. Milena nodded her head and pulled down her hood. Knights and maids marveled at her beauty even the werewolf king and vampire queen gasped at her.

"Herla help her get in the carriage." Her maid hurriedly helped her. Milena's protector sat next to her in the carriage.

"Sorry for not introducing myself when you asked. I'm Queen Cathy of Dravel and if you don't know I rule vampires." Expecting her to be scared, she's shocked that she stays calm. "Could I see your fangs? Oh, that was impolite right? I'm sorry." Milena hangs her head and Cathy chuckles. Slightly confused Milena looks up and sees Cathy's fangs. "You know the man next to me earlier was the King of werewolves. A hairy fool."

"Do you both not like each other?" Milena could see the answer on her face. "Why are you guys fighting?" Cathy went on to explain how it all started.

"Vampires have since 500 years ago been drinking blood from animals. Three years ago the werewolves wanted to trade werewolf blood for locks of vampire hair. Many vampires thought it be good to taste werewolf blood but I disagreed wondering why they wanted our hair. Our hair is very special for potions and we haven't leaked out how we made them."

"Potions?" Milena had read very little about the topic finding only two books on it.

"Some are used to heal injuries to a certain extent. Grow an excellent harvest of crops. Many other's as well and are all sold to your kingdom and his."

"Cathy, did you ever ask why they wanted the hair or did you ignore that fact?" Cathy went over her memories but came up with a blank face.

"Three years and I hadn't asked that. I guess it isn't to late to ask. If you want you can touch my fangs as a thank you." Milena was excited like a little girl.

She slowly went to touch one of Cathy's fangs. It's pointy tip sliced a minor cut on Milena's finger causing blood to run down the tooth onto Cathy's tongue.

In half a second Cathy bit Milena's finger then sucked it getting as much blood as she can. Milena's protector quickly pride open Cathy's mouth letting Milena's finger go. The other protector wanted to fight Milena's protector but knew that what she was doing also helped Cathy.

"Milena, are you alright!?" Melina answered her protector in a slightly shaky voice. "Yeah, but is Cathy alright?" Looking over at Cathy who's clutching herself as her protector tries to calm her down. "Sleep, she will be fine when you wake up." After quickly wrapping her finger she holds Milena an in embrace patting her head to lull her into sleep.

Cathy fought the urge to bite into her flesh, sucking out her highly addictive blood. About halfway through the night Cathy finally got enough control of the urge and soon fell asleep.

"You didn't attack me." Milena's protector stated. "It only would've hurt her more if she died." Cathy's protector answered knowing the outburst she would create if it happened.

"For Milena's sake it's important that you know. Her parents once they get their hands on her it'll be an even worse torture then before." For all the years she's been by her side she wanted nothing more than for Milena to get away from them. "Going back into the royal den."
