was always the favourite. Always put on the best guard duties, his parents were also fugitives no different from me yet he is a royal guard yet I still remain a foot soldier fighting the real battle.' Liam explained staring at a patch of my couch eyes unwavering. I put my hands on Liam's shoulders, 'you need not fight with those closest with you Liam, there will come a day when you need someone fighting in your corner.' I whispered ashamed instantly that I was backing Hayden the pain in his eyes registered for a second before he closed them. I too was losing Liam.

 

'I tell you he eats people and you take his side?' He asked outraged. 'He doesn't eat people.' I whispered back annoyed. 'He's a fucking Kelpie Sky what else do you think he does?' He shouted. 'Saves humans from drowning.' I whispered back shocked, another revelation hitting my memory hard. 'What?' He asked. 'Otherwise I would be dead twice over. I informed him standing up painfully, the two of them needed time to talk and personally I really needed a shower. I still felt light headed but some needs are just more powerful than others...

 

The second I stripped and allowed heavens waterfall to rain down my back was the most bliss I had felt all week. Well technically it wasn't heavens water.. Nor was it raining but utter bliss is the word I would use to describe the feeling of the scalding water cascading down my bare back.

 

 

I eventually tear myself from the shower after doing everything necessary to emerge feeling clean, smooth and calmer. I quickly pulled on my underwear, whilst trying to brush my teeth and not fall into the side of the bath tub or something. The shower curtains were a deep crimson red and become an even deeper colour of red once the water splashed onto it. The shower itself was more than likely added years later because it looked at least ten years newer.

 

 

I pulled on ripped grey peppel washed jeans and a deep green sleeveless tee that came dangerously low to showing too much, I pulled on thick fluffy socks and my usual comfy black boots. For ever reliable I thought grinning to myself. I finally put my toothbrush back onto the sink and nearly tripped over the bucket still lying around, I kicked it across the room with a peculiar sense of glee and walked to the closed door. I pulled it open and walked into the other room only finding Hayden, I almost tripped over him. He was sat directly by the ladder looking unsure of himself. 'Need to pee?' I asked regaining balance and offering him my good hand (connected to my good arm) and pulled him up (which I was ashamed to admit wasn't as easy as I had imagined, my strength was still sapped).

 

 

'Wheres Liam?' I asked searching for him again. 'He went to go check on his kid I suppose.' He replied shrugging. 'Masons his brother not his son.' I replied angrily, defending him instantly. 'Why do you care?' He asked sounding just as annoyed. 'Because I used to look after him too. He's like my little brother.' I replied shrugging, there was no reason for me to get annoyed but no one was aloud to say anything about Mason. 'You were with Liam once?' He asked looking deep into my eyes, I cringed visibly and went to take a step back but forced myself to stand still. 'Liam is with no one but himself.' I replied tersely. 'But you were with him once yes?' He asked looking for something in my face, he must have found it for he turned around ready to leave.

 

 

'So was another girl, she is still with him. I am not, never will be.' I replied instantly grabbing his hand before he could leave me. 'Why... Why didn't I remember you? I mean I feel bad for... Well Liam now but I didn't remember you?' I asked still a little foggy on the whole scenario.

 

 

He sighs, his eyes squeezing shut his expression pain filled. 'I suppose that's why I wanted a kiss.' He muttered looking ashamed. 'Pardon?' I ask I could almost see it,the moment he kissed me. I remembered the taste of salt and then nothing. I cannot even recall what was said...

 

'I...Well we... Kelpie the way we lore women in the water. We ask for a kiss and they forget everything, it's a part of our natural skills I suppose much like your healing is a part of you. ' He sighs again and opens his eyes. 'Why couldn't you stay away like I asked sky?' He whispered taking a step closer to me, resting his forehead on my own. 'How was I to know you didn't want me to return?' I asked iin a pained whisper.

 

 

He exhaled again deeply, 'I... Well it was the first time I'd ever used that particular gift of mine. I suppose I am not very good at it.' He replied sounding more than a little disappointed in himself, he even said the word gift with distaste. 'Wait, had you never kissed anyone before?' I asked more than a little intrigued. 'Of course not, I was 18 Sky of course I had kissed someone before. Tell me something, do you heal people by touching them if you do not will it?' He asked sounding sure of himself, I shrugged counting in my head quickly - three years that would make him 21; two years older than me.

 

 

'It is entirely dependent. At first it came when it wanted to, if I touched a wounded animal during class I could accidently heal him or her but I suppose deep down I had always wanted to heal them.' I trailed off deep in thought, remembering all of those terrifying lessons - hoping no one would notice the animals sudden recovery. Of course normal people summed it up to time and modern medicine though it had come close a couple times. These thoughts were the ones that kept me up at night wondering if people still burn witches at the stake... Silly really I mean wasn't my lack of energy after the healing more than enough of a punishment?!



Part two

 

The fey aren't like you and me.

 

They never were. They were brought up with a natural advantage. We simple humans grew with soft, squidgy skin easily broken. Nails more for decorations then use. Teeth flat and used for only chewing. We are not predators. Place us next to a lion with nothing but our fists and we will tremble. But the fey? They come in all different shapes and sizes, literally. Some have; wings, claws, talons, canine teeth, some can breathe fire, change shape, empower others, turn the dead into warriors... To be honest we don't know the extent of what they can do. But if we mere humans were ever to find out? We would be doomed. Our world would be no more, forever onwards we would be slaves of the giggling child like monsters roaming our forests. 

 

 

 

Chapter Seventeen

Sasha

 

'What do we do now?' I asked Hayden, it had been half an hour and Liam still hadn't returned. 'Protect Sasha. The reason those lowly ranked fey were after me yesterday was because there's a leak in the castle.' He replied looking devastated, since he had been here he hadn't truly taken his eyes off of Sasha, who was she? What was she? I wondered. I voiced my questions and he only shrugged. 'The king's daughter.' He replied not looking at me. 'She won't be safe until she is five.' He informed me. 'Why five?' I asked, and why was that number familour?

 

'At five we becomes less of our stronger self and more of both. Our two sides join to make us. Have you ever heard about muslims? How they believe it isn't murder if you abort your baby before four months? How their soul isn't in their body yet?  He asked, which I quickly nodded to. 'Well it's the same with us, but I guess it's five years instead of four months. Fey believe we are only born with half a soul, the other less dominant half will follow five years later, after we have already found ourselves. Sasha will be five in a few months, she'll be able to return home then.'

 

My anger was instant. Death was still death. People are aloud their view. People are aloud their views. No it's not the same, four months old and you only have the potential to live! At five years you are already alive, already a person. I cannot argue with their thinking but to me it was still death. Sasha didn't deserve to die. 'They truly cannot think that?' I asked outraged. 'Surely theses hunters are just trying to justify murdering those under five?' I retorted eventually. 'It comes back to the if you knew Adolf of as a child would you have murdered him argument.' He replied looking as unhappy as I.

 

'No.' He looked at me sharply. 'No, if I knew him as a child I would teach him different, I would try and show him what was right or wrong. Everyone is worth trying to save.' I replied sadly, Hayden turned and walked over to me quickly. Placing his hands on either side of my shoulders he held my eyes, with his powerful brown ones. 'That is exactly why you were chosen to guard her Sky. For your heart and your belief, you are who Sasha needs to grown into a strong and kind leader.' He replied smiling for the first time in hours.

 

'What if I fail and create another Hitler? What if shes destined for greatness and I've ruined that?' I asked gasping. He chucked softly, 'I highly doubt it.' He replied placing a kiss on my forehead. 'How do we keep her safe?' I asked generally worried now. 'I-I don't know Sky, I've totally fucked up by coming here.' He told me taking a step away from me, I almost wished I hadn't said anything.

 

'What if we give her to them?' I ask, a plan already forming in my head. I jumped up and down on the spot - stopping after two seconds because his face was filled with utter rage. 'And what me and you just live a happy cozy life?' He snapped, sarcasm mixing deeply wit his tone. 'No, but we should make them think we are.' I replied in a soft tone
