"And what?" I questioned, afraid of what he had to say. But I needed to know what he was going to say. "What is it Peyton?"
"And....he wants Logan, Wes, and I to report to the castle grounds, where we'll serve in the....battle." He finished. I felt shock overcome me, and then fear. They could die. That's the only thing I could think of. "Look, don't start panicking. We are very strong, very fast, and there's plenty more of us than them. I'm incredibly fast, that's my power. I'm also stronger than the average vampire. Wes can read minds, which helps him anticipate what the other person will do next and Logan...."
"What about Logan? What's his power?" I questioned, interested and wanting to know if he'd be safe. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to them, especially Logan.
"Well....he actually has two. I'm kind of surprised he got two special gifts, but whatever...." Peyton seemed a little envious, and this made me want to know what it was even more. "....he can become invisible for a short period of time, and can go into people's dreams." I stared at him in shock.
No way! That is so cool! Has he done if before? "What? So let me get this straight, he can be invisible, and also teleport himself into other people's dreams?" I asked in disbelief. Peyton nodded his head, and I could tell he was jealous. "That is so cool!" I exclaimed, and he rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, I know he gets the kickass powers, and he barely even uses them! So not fair!" He pouted, which caused me to laugh. "I mean seriously! I would go into hot girls' dreams, and totally have a good time with them, if you know what I mean." I let out another laugh, as I heard the glass door open and close.
Logan came in, and Mark followed. "So....care to explain?" I said, shooting Peyton a look. "I mean, Peyton gave me the rundown already, but what---do they need to go and fight? When? And for how long?" I asked, and Mark sighed.
"King Jesiah wants them there tonight." My heart beat slowed as he said tonight. That's so soon. I gulped, as he continued. "I'm not sure how long they'd be gone. A few weeks, maybe even a month." My jaw-dropped.
"What?!" I exclaimed in shock. "No! Logan....I don't want you to go. Please....you could die!" I said, and he pulled me into his arms, hugging me. My face was pressed into his shirt, and then something dawned on me. "Where is Wes? I haven't seen him since the day before yesterday."
"Yeah, I know. I don't know where that boy is, but I'm worried. He'll turn up eventually, or he could have gotten word and headed out. You two need to go up and get ready." Mark stated. "Peyton....let's just let them talk for a few minutes." Mark added, and Peyton nodded as he got up.
Once they left, I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. Logan gently wiped them away with his thumb. "Red everything will be fine, I promise. We probably won't end up fighting. I'm strong, and I won't let anything happen." He comforted, as I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him once more.
"What am I suppose to do for a month? What if Jonathon comes back? I----I don't want to lose you Logan." I sobbed, as he engulfed me tightly in his arms. "This morning, everything seemed perfect. And now you're going off to fight werewolves? What the hell is going on?" I questioned, and he shushed me.
"Red....I swear to you nothing is going to happen to me. And as for you....you can stay with my dad." I began to shake my head. I do NOT want to stay here with him. It'll just make me miss Logan more. "Or....the castle maybe? Kind Jesiah might let you stay. NO! I know....KALE! What about him? You could stay there."
"Look Logan, I'm not going to be babysat by somebody. I'll be fine. Just as long as Jonathon doesn't show up." I let out a nervous laugh.
My heart literally felt like it was breaking. I FINALLY found the love of my life, and now he has to go fight against freaking werewolves, and could possibly die. What the hell?
"I mean it...I'll just stay at the house, and kind of....watch it. And then when you come back, I'll be waiting there for you." I said slowly, and he brushed my bangs out of my face, kissing me softly. I pulled my arms around him tightly.
He pressed harder, kissing me more passionately. I gladly accepted it, and returned the kiss. After a little while, we pulled away for breath. "I have to go upstairs and get ready...." He murmured softly, and I groaned. "....I'll teleport you to the house, and make sure my dad comes and visit's a lot. I'm also going to put a sort of, safety barrier around it, or a force field I guess you could say. It'll be able to keep things out temporarily, and alarm you if necessary."
I laughed lightly. "Over-protective much?" I asked, smiling. He shrugged with a grin, leaning towards me and kissing my forehead. "I'm going to miss you...." I said, and he hugged me once more.
"I'm going to miss you more red, trust me. But I promise you, everything will be just fine." He stated, holding me. I really wanted to believe him, honestly I did....but I know for a fact, the next month, will be anything but easy.

"That's not good enough!" I roared angrily, as I slammed my fist into the wall, creating a huge crater in the process. "I specifically said follow the king's every move, and report back to me. And what, you've found nothing? Nothing we can use as leverage against him?" I yelled, and I stared in disgust as my "men" quivered back in fear.
"I'm sorry sir, we tried our best. But it seems as though Jesiah is just to----bullet proof." Maurice stated, and I felt my blood boil. Anger consumed me, as I flipped my whole desk over. Those cowards back away quickly.
"You are pathetic. Get out of my sight before I rip your throats out!" I spat, and I watched as they scurried out of the room. I let out a low growl, as I snatched the folder up from the table. Flipping through the snap-shots of the king, I felt myself get more and more pissed.
I said to follow him everywhere, and try to find a weakness. And this is the shit they bring me? One of him walking. Talking to his men. Walking in his garden. At a party. With a...girl?
Wait a second. I quickly stared more intently at it, and saw Jesiah dancing with some redhead. She was gorgeous, and he looked very pleased to be with her.
Hmm....maybe this girl could be useful. Perhaps he has a thing for her. If so, I'm sure he'd do anything to make sure she's safe. And maybe he'd be a little more---willing to listen to what I have to say. After all, he hates losing innocent lives.
I stared at it once more, needing to figure out who she was. This little redhead could just be my ticket to the kingdom. And to total domination amongst those leeches. Snatching it up, I sat down in my chair. "Get in here! Maurice! Evan!" I commanded, and I heard the door open. They both looked scared to approach. I let out a mocking laugh. "Just get in here. I have a job for you."
They stared at me, stepping forward. An evil smirk spread across my face, as my mind began to work. This just might work. All I have to do is find the girl.
