Frostbite

PART 1

"Go! Quick! Remember what i told you, he will help you, you must insist, do whatever it takes. Quick...through here!"
My ears ring with screams and the sound of metal clashing, a round circle of light appears in front of me. "I love you dear, I believe in you."

I wake up in beading sweat, beneath me I feel a wet warmth and my heart thumps in an occurring panic. I pull my eyes open, they fog and I move my arms to try and rub them. They fill with pain and I swallow. I can't see. I can feel the cotton of sheets under me and my head rested on a sweat stained pillow. "Hello!" I call out and move to slip off the bed. My eyes move in and out of focus, the floor blurred and began moving. My head starts to thump and I grit my teeth. Where am I?

"Someone answer me!" I call out and squeeze my eyes open and shut. Why can't I see anything? I hear footsteps and the sound of rattling keys. The floor spins and I move my legs apart to stand still. I keep my head down to try to make sense of everything. This could be enemy territory and I can't even see! So pathetic of me. "Good. You're up." I hear a males voice and I snap my head up. "Who are you?"

There's a small laugh that didn't sound at all comforting, "I was going to ask you the same thing but I'll answer first since you beat me to it. I'm Danny Wilmer and you are not only in the castle of The Crest, but a stowaway." I pull my fists into balls, she pushed me into the one place I despise, the werewolf kingdom. "Now for your answer?" He asks and I hold my breath. There isn't a good in lying, they'll beat it out of me especially if I landed in the kingdom outskirts or itself. "What is your role here?" His voice had risen and he sounded annoyed. "My name is Bella, and I came in search of Alpha Aden." I answer and let my rage subside. He growls lowly, "You are a witch or are you not?" I sigh loudly and try to focus on pulling out answers. "Yes more or less. Listen to me, I haven't come in search of trouble. Cassandra sent me in aims of sending a message."

There was a pause and a shift in the air. "Cassandra isn't welcome in this realm and that is for her puppets too." I turn my head in face of his figure. "Well since you're also a puppet go fetch the Alpha." I snap well knowing my words will come back to bite me in the arse. "The importance of this message better be true or you will rot and make sure to be disposed of without an ounce of mercy. Do you understand?" He yells the last part and then makes a way for the door.

First impressions were never my thing, but then again neither is disgusting werewolves. Why would she think he would help? Werewolves are good for nothings, all they do is make trouble. I rub my eyes and blink harder. What is in my eyes? Has someone cast over a poison spell or maybe something got stuck in it? Whatever it is, it's bugging me. I try to make shape of my body, every inch of skin in cuts and bruises and stained blood and poison marks. One month before the tournament and preparation has scarred me more than anything. Valerian will pay for what she's done, under no excuse will I lose to her. I have to tame my power before the month is over, how will i do it without Cassandra...without anyone to help me. "Pathetic piece of trash" I tell myself and lean against the bed. The whole town was in smithers which means that the Kingdom was next.

Someone stands at the door and I don't bother to brace myself. "I am here to escort you." Another man? Where are the women in this place. I go towards the door a little unsteady. "Did you guys try to kill me?" I blurt out. "There is a protection vision posion on your eyes to prevent resistence." The guard answers and I snort. They use fairy resources. He takes a hold of my arm and I want to pull away but I can't muster the energy. "Is this a long walk cause I can't feel my legs enough to get that far." I smile in amusement of myself, well someone has to lighten this ugly place up. The hall was long and felt endless even though we only just got out of the room. The whole place seemed dull and everything zoomed in and out, it made my shake my head in confusion. It only took a few minutes and in I went into another room. A lady I presumed stood in front of me. "Here. Change." She said and I raised an eyebrow. I snickered in reply although I kinda felt relieved to get out of my clothes. I got undressed and she turned around while the guard at the door also turned his back. I'm not complaining but what if i just attacked? They must think I'm not a threat. I was given undergarments as well as a long sleeve black shirt and long black pants. They covered my butchered body and hung comfortably and loosely. Once I was done I moved and she instantly turned, "You will be dealt with soon."

I nod slowly as she leaves. So yeah I am a bit cocky and harsh, to be honest a little all over the place though its better than acting low, people squash you and mock you when you show fear, even as I felt it growing inside I dared not showing it. It could mean my life in places, and the opposite in others.

Now, how the hell am I gonna tell this dude that I need his help, I'm the queens daughter and my sister is about to take over the witch realm maybe others in the long run, without him laughing and more so I can't prove any of it physically right now.
