The vengeful Queen

Chapter Five

You know you need to eat mum said, we don't want you to go back to being under weight. Its okay mum I'd be okay, time just went by and I wasn't paying attention. My cheeks and ears starting to turn red as momma Guinevere begins to lecture me. Did you at least eat breakfast?

both my mums asked I..I..uh.. I stuttered and mumbled a I don't know with a sigh.

They both sighed and mum begin to make my blueberry muffins.

What time is it? I asked my uh phone went dead my cheeks turning reder. 2:38 am dear sam replied, me once again sighing. Is it getting bad again? Jayson asked.

No just lost track of time I was playing skyrim I replied.

Well that's a good thing because some guy what was his name sam?

I think Marvin sam said. Oh and a girl named Harlow.

She even looks like one of the ones who'd got locked up with us.

Okay? and what did this marvin guy want? I asked.

Oh, he wanted to trade as he scrunched up his face.

Trade? Trade what? I sighed

Her for a sword sam replied with an egg sandwich in his mouth.

What the hell! did he kidnap her? where are they at now? as I begin to growl.

He probably doesn't know its outlowed for human trafficking lily said.

Doesn't make it any better I replied.

I want a tacker on him and pretend all is good. Where is he at? I asked once again.

They all sighed,

he's staying at the weeping willow inn, Vix my familiar said. All right I'll go there in disguised.

I'd have a low cut shirt showing part of my back tattoo, and I'd change the color of my hair to red and my eyes would be a sea green usually the color they turn to when I'm up to something, and I giggle.

As always vix said.

Name Scarlett? I assume lily asked.

Yep I replied, I'd be wearing black high waist skinny jeans with the knees cut out a bit. And my black push up sports bra with red lining on the bottom, and my red flannel.

Sounds good sam says I also find it weird how this sylverster and his group arrive.

And now this as I waved my hand in the air.

I head to my room and began to drag through my clothes and found what I need, as I let my midnight red hair grow to my waist it becomes wavy.

My small pointy ears giving away to possibly having elf and fae in my blood. My scent begins to change a little smells like woods and roses, and slightly nightshade. Most wouldn't know what nightshade smells like. It's still my sent just more dull.

As if some of it faded off and easier to throw anyone off my trail. My sea green eyes pop while I do a smokey eye.

*sighing* I begin to hum as I grab my knee high black converse shoes.

Than I grabbed my dagger in a way looks like a nordic dagger. One of my favorite things off of skyrim.

Makes me wonder if my mothers last name was actually nightingale...maybe she changed it to something similar to her last name.

With it being 3:06am

I pull my hood up and made an illusion where you can hardly make out my face. This Marvin guy wont remember what I look like only that a girl going by Minx everland.

Seems better than saying scarlett I decided and might confuse more people, and throw them off my trail.

In no time with me jogging in the back alleys I head to the right and up the cliff to the inn.

The old worn down sign saying Weeping willow. Mainly out laws or people hiding away comes here. Thieves Including ugh I forgot to ask them what he looks like *sigh*

I look over and see a 5'9-6' guy with short brown somewhat straight curly hair looking at me.

Freaking weirdos "looks like he's wearing contacts his eyes are green" moon light my wolf said. I agreed his hoodie is black with the cuffs having some holes and tearing.

One other guy with him 6'5 blood red eyes and small fangs showing, looks like a vampire full blood I assume. His face looks ruff and a scar above his right eye, similar to a scar I have but its crooked and drags down to my cheek.

Start's by the top of my hand than curves down over my eye and goes over my top and bottom lip than stops.

Makes me wonder if hes the one who gave it to me and I his scar even tho its small. I was only eight sighing knowing staring him down won't help me remember.

I begin to absently touch my scar that I do my best to hide but deciding I'm to tired to, and already having an illusion where you can't really see my face.

It'd be okay not like anyone would see through it...I hope.

Moonlight begins to chuckle and her eyes that looks like a full moon begins to lighten up.

I look back over at the guy who's wearing contacts, and realize he's not there. Odd I mumbled. Than I see Damian talking to one of the hookers from in town, I'm watching him carefully.

If he does decide to have s*x with her I hope I won't be able to hear it. Her name is Samantha Greywood. Long brown curly hair with her being 5'5, and her eyes big like a doe that makes her face look innocent, medium eyelashes even tho she's wearing long fake ones bating her hazel eyes at him.

If he does decide to do it I'm going to tell Lily I'd be damned if I let him get away with it.

If she doesn't believe me she can use her power to see memories.

He starts to head back with her I listen in heart pounding, and their talking about something else. Listing in more their whispering " so lily is your mate?" she exclaimed.

Yes but also she's close to the queen ya know, so sis I'd have to get the queens blessing.

Odd never knew she had a brother probably not biological, maybe half. Anyway that's not my business.

Well of course you'd need her blessing she giggles.

That's like her sister in law but you know she's cold hearted after her mates death, not to mention being rejected by someone else. He was probably better off she looked more relieved than he did. *smack* of course she would she just lost her mate than and you know better than to talk ill about her Samantha about to screetched.

Your right she did help us, its just that I'm nervous and not to mention no one really knows anything about her.

I'm more intrigued the more they begin to talk.

Than I felt a hand on my left shoulder and I instantly grabbed it and twisted it. I glared at the person with red eyes and the scar. I squeezed his hand tighter as I put it behind his back.

I'm sorry miss you just look interesting, interesting? I growled. Sorry wrong words mam It's just I never seen you before, I wanted to say hi. I reluctantly let him go giving him a warning glance not to touch me.

I listen in to Damian and realized their gone *sighing* Samantha walked by me and gave me a small smile. I gave one back and sighed agian.

Sitting back down and putting my chin in my right hand. Pretending to let my guard down, so you just wanted to say hi?

Well uh not just that but get to know you he said. Well what is your name? I asked

It's Ezra he replied.

What about you? you mam, Minx.. Mnix? he raised his evey brow yeah just Minx. Alright so your a weasel eh?

I laughed a little an old friend used to call me Minx before he passed. I never really had a name I said.

So do you know a guy named Marvin? Ezra asked.

No I don't sorry, now I'm starting to get worried what happens if hes after this Harllow girl. Me brain storming what does he look like? I asked.

Oh he's short about 5' black hair that seen better days black eyes last he was wearing is what looked like fishing clothes.

Green black strings blue jeans that seen better days. He has pointy ears speaks English and an ancient language only the queen probably would know.

I'm guessing he stole from you? I raised my eye brow knowing that I'm possibly pushing my luck.

You can say that he said. knowing that's all the information he'd give.

I just nodded and how would I find you Ezra? If I find him? oh you have a faint smell of nightshade. So you know where to go, my body instantly stiffened. Bloody hell haven't heard of that place in a long time.

So the nightshadeor knife hide out they call it now? I whispered asked.

He smirked yeah that place than he chuckled, Ezra time to go a out of breath person said.

Looks like his friend he was with. Ya ya I'm coming bane what did you do this time? hmm interesting he looks almost mad that Ezra was talking to me.

While listening in to their whisper conversation seeing that they put up a magic barrier, to keep ease droppers like me out.

To bad for them that it doesn't effect me, Ezra what was you thinking? Bane said. What she probably had information even looks like someone I tried to kill, an old friend I could some what see the scar.

So your looking to eliminate her if she turns out to be her? Bane asked confused.

Not necessarily more to apologize he said with a sad face.

My brother poisoned me something that makes you hallucinate. And I thought she was my father, I even nicknamed her weasel or Minx.

She said an old friend called her Minx and she never really had a name.

Plus she probably had information on that Marvin guy.

He's unsettling ya know, Ezra Scottish accent coming through. So a fake name?... maybe it is him...hmm.

Maybe moonlight growled just maybe.

Well did she know? Bane asked annoyed No but I feel like she's hiding something she knows of the old name nightshade.

So? how is that of help? Bane grumbled well for starters my old friend whoms possibly dead started that place, its for thieves.

Way before this kingdom became about. See what I mean she could be a good source Ezra argued orrr she could be the friend you want to "apologize to" Bane raising his eye brow.

Well... that to I know since I'm a vampire that everyone would think I'm older. But in reality I'm 23 my friend would be 22 by now. She was around 9 when she created it I was 10, than he stops talking.

Lets just go we need to find him, the girl he has is valuable she might know about this Queen, he spits out as almost with hate.

Wtf did I do to him freaking old man.

Than they disappeared sighing I begin to sneak out back than I seen a glips of Marvin, and start to sneak that way. Ripling as I continue to walk.

As if I am air itself and no sounds as I get closer he's starting to walk into the woods. Knowing he's not alone and I begin to smell a wood pine like sent with what smells like fresh bake sweets, and see its Harlow.

Why did you take me? she says angrily.

Well little girl I'm 100 years old and I spent a heafty gold on you.

Gold? lovely so their still using that as a code?

It's a small token of coins for trading for valuables with a symbol of a wolf and the other side with a wolf holding a sword.

Well little girl the queen might appreciate of having you to the collection he laughs with an evil grin.

Cu..co...collection? she stutters

Oh yes how else would she be able to do these things. There's been rumors that she sacrifices those she seems of value, ones with strong powers he smirks. I'm looking for a certain sword so I'm hoping you will do.

Tears begin to slowly fall down her face, long wavey black blueish thick hair with rat nest as if he would pull her by it. Cuts and bruises and a cut on her leg that looks like it needs stitches.

Than I feel another presence almost as if a pressure, the scent smells like Crape Myrtle Tree and pine cones. Ezra also meaning Bane must be near.

Marvin looks around than he begins to get taller, I see a potion to make you look different.

5'6 sharp canines black eyes pointy ears and skin is of a darker grey color. Dark elf well since its just us I'm giving the queen two days to see me if not I just might sacrifice ya.

Changing my out fit into torwn worn out clothes and a black cape.

I begin to step forward letting my presence be known your looking for the queen yes? my small accent coming through.

What! where? how?

Doesn't matter now, you wanted to see the queen? raising my eye brow.

Yes yes I do, she's ready to see you I said.

She is now eh? well where does she want to meet? making my hair shorter around my neck black color with white high lights, and hiding my scar and tattoos. I look at him with dark grey eyes and pull my hood back slightly.

Well right now if you don't mind I smirked.

So your the queen?

Yes I am I barely show my face so don't expect more than seeing my eyes I chuckle.

So who's she? Oh a trade for a sword he says. What type of sword? she will do I said.

Its one made of dragons teeth and is said to carry the wrath of the wind.

I smiled ah that one I conquered a fake version of it up, made it feel real and allowed it to bend the wind a little. His eyes grew big yes what a beauty. Hand the girl over first he did as he was told and as promised your sword.

A little hint you have to bond with it in order to fully wield it. Oh yes I didn't expect nothing less he says in astonishment.

May I ask my queen what would you do with her?

Oh I'm not sure yet but she will be useful I smiled.

He smiled back and I disappeared, Ripling both of us I shushed her.

Ezra came out so you took Hollow from me and think you'd get away with it.

Marvin smirks I will use this sword against you, you recognize it yes.

Ezra's eyes go wide there's no way a queen would give that to a traitor he spat. Oh but she did conquered it right up and she was very pleased with the girl. He begins to laugh, she'd probably sacrifice her.

As he goes to swing his sword Ezra shot an arrow right through the dark elf chest.

Not laughing now are ya marvin Ezra smirking. Letting myself go back to my original appearance I had before, I shoved Harllow into a portal to my room. Might scare Liza but I'd worry about that latter.

As I close her I see her frightned yes as she falls on her ass. I sigh and closed the portal pushing my hood back and steping out, my midnight red hair getting snaged on a branch in the process.

We meet again Ezra he looks up surprised, so uh you seen the queen? Bane asked annoyed. I frowned and said look what the dog dragged in, is he always demanding? sorry about him he is a pain in the ass he smiles faintly. Forgetting about my scar showing I'd decided against trying to hide it.

No I didn't I came in late so what about the queen? I asked.

She's probably not what her people thinks she is Bane mumbled. And what do you think she is? A lizard? Bane glaring at me. No a dangerous person!, probably sacrificing her people! And you all are to blind to see it! he growls in frustration.

So says one wearing contacts and stirring up trouble, its annoying ya know I glared back at him.

So mer rumors and your letting it get through your head and I chuckled.

Where's harllow? Ezra asks f**k I killed him before I can ask.

For f***s sake Ezra why do you care? Bane all but growled.

None of your business Bane he growled back.

Obviously forgetting I'm here and this is amusing, I decided to linger.

I need to know if this minx girl is who I think she is, If she's my little weasel he whispers.

So your what in love? have a crush? a sister to you? Bane asks intrigued. Oh forget it he mumbled.

So who are you really Ezra I ask lightly but balling my fist up, knowing officially it is him.

He looks up weasel? are you really her? tears begin to fall. He never cries ever and its making me uncomfortable. Un balling my fist I whisper Esdras, my face softened.

He ran and before I could react he hugs me, not knowing what to do and panicking. I said I have to go. No I'm sorry I'm so sosorry my little weasel.

Cringe at the nickname as usally I finally manage to get him to back up.

I really have to go I'm soSorry, he looks sad to see me go.

Look its 5:05 am and I haven't eaten anything all day.

He laughs and says see you around and we will talk about this later.

I dont Know when that would be Esdras, his smile faded well you know where to find me he says.

I begin To walk away about to step into my portal to my room.

You going to fill me in completly Ezra? Bane said angrily

No he says.

As I step through give one glance back than close it.

Sighing about how my night went I begin to get ready for bed. Seeing its 5:10am on my phone, I begin to walk to the bathroom than I hear a piercing scream than crying than begging please, please don't sacrifice me.

Fuck I forgot about harllow not knowing what to do I whisper go to sleep, and that she does.

NEREZZA WHAT THE HELL!!! Liza screamed

Uh well I got Harllow
