The Bodyguard

23

A month passed since my baby boy was born. Dimitri is so in love with him. He watched him as he slept and stayed by his side. So we have a new baby in the palace. I'm being crowned queen this week and the poison was effecting me. I laid in bed in my room alone. Mother thought it would be a good idea that she put a baby monitor in my room and one in hers so she can watch me. And then I have one for me and the boys room.

I whimpered and held the baby monitor to me. I was feeling as if something was taking my energy and just drained me. I frown and a pain shot through my stomach. I stood up and slowly made my way over to the closet. I put on a simple white dress and that was it. I drag my self out of my room. My hair hung over my face.

I looked out infront of me but wasn't seeing anything but blurry figures. I keep walking straight and hit a rail. I climb up on it and feel the wind blow against my body. I could hear the pack out infront of palace training. I shake my head and looked up at the sky. I smiled and carefully turn and looked at my mother at the end of the hall. She looked at me with fear in her eyes.

"Aphrodite." She slowly made her way to me. "Please step down from there." She said.

"On my god is that the princess!" Someone yelled from out side.

"What's she doing?" Someone asked.

"Baby please...please step down." She said and I backed up from her. She had tears running down her face.

"I'm not going to do what you think I am." I said.

"Ok but can you please step down." She asked. There was a loud bang and crashing sound from my right and I jumped. I lose my balance and fell. My mother screamed and so did someone else. I hit the ground and the whole land shook.

Theodore's pov.

"Theodore what is your girlfriend doing?" My sister asked and I turned. I up at the tallest tower on the rail. I hear something crash and she got scared and lost her balance. I see her mother rush to the rail. Aphrodite landed on her feet in a crouch. She looked up at me with wild eyes. Black veins crawled up her skin as she took off .

"She's ok." I said and turned to Freda.

"But-"

"Don't worry about it." I said walking into the woods. I sigh and ran my hand through my hair and looked around.

"Theodore!" She said and I looked at her. She was in the lake. Her back was to me and I see her clothes on the ground. "Join me!"

"Ok." I said and undressed. I swim to her side and she turned to me with a smile. She wrapped her arms around my neck.

"I want to be well." She said and looked at me with those beautiful green eyes of hers. "Did you find out who did this to me?"

"No not yet baby." I said and she nods.

When we get back to the palace it was dark. I sigh and grabbed her by the hand and she looked up at me. She was pale and I frowned. Everyone was in the living room talking. When we entered her mother shot up. She grabbed her daughter and hugged her.

"Why did you jump!" Rosetta yelled.

"What?"

"You jumped off the balcony!"

"I did?" She tilted her head. "I don't remember."

"What-"

"Can you let me go?"

"Oh sorry." She pulled away. I frown and turned to her father.

"Where did you find her?"

"In the lake." I said.
