Alisha POV

I'm clueless about everything but i know one thing for sure that I'm attracted towards them.

And it's not right. it's against my morals.

I can't have feelings for more than one person yet alone 6.

what have I become? I feel for them and I have met just two of them till now but just by seeing the others I feel like talking to them, touching them and listen to whatever they're saying. you may think it's normal to feel that way but I know some things are not right here.

I don't wanna lie so I admit that yes I do feel for each one of them even without knowing them but what I'm unsure about is HOW???...

this is just not normal.

it's like someone's trying to make me fall for them.

it's like....... I like potatoes and Brinjals too.... doesn't make sense right?? exactly my point. when we can't force us to like one of the vegetables, because we don't decide what vegetable to like. it's just natural to like them.

it's same with them. I mean I apologize for comparing the world's most eligible bachelor's to vegetables, but you get my point right???..

for me it's like something natural. like I'm suppose to like them.feelings for them is just in me.

but then again... we never decide whom to love, it just happens.

why am I so confused about everything???...

god!!!!!!! help me. please.

I was watering the plants outside my tent.

yesterday at the defence practice, the way Edison was teaching me.. I don't think he was teaching everyone the same way.

I wish I could talk to them and ask them directly about what's happening but i can't do that because I just can't go and talk to royals. There are protocols and moreover I'm not even sure if they wanna talk to me.

I didn't realize but I was standing near the plants since evening and now it's midnight. I was standing there for hours.

where are jess and Sophie BTW. I haven't seen either of them...

I hear a branch snap behind my tent.

I see hear and there but I see nothing.

again.. I sense somebody. Like someone's running. I see shadows outside the fence and somehow my vision got zoomed in. I see animals.. more like wolves running towards the royals tent. but why would wolves run at night?? I mean they can though.. but since everybody was at their training today, they must be tired.. and why are they running towards the Royal tents??

and then it hit me.... they are not our wolves. they're trespassing the kingdom's border. they're the dark wolves.

without thinking for another second I run...

I run towards the bell hung in middle of the camp to notify everyone for any kind of threat.

I don't know if I'll be able to reach it at the time or not... but I still run.

I tear my long skirt in short with the knife I don't know I was holding in my hand and reach the clapper of the bell...

I hold it in my hands and try to hit the bell. I'm not strong enough, it didn't even touched the striking point. the Bell's heavy and I'm not strong enough.....

I try once again... I hold the clapper again.. take few steps back and as I was about to release the clapper I sense someone behind me. from the corner of my eyes I see Ambrose. he placed his hands over mine to hold the clapper... he took a step back holding the clapper making more space between them and shouts....

'' Release "

we release the clapper together and the bell makes the warning sound.

"Tanggggggggggggg..... "

the dark wolves enter the fence of camp before anyone could react....

I look at Ambrose, he looks at me.

" Time to fight Darling" he smiles and run towards them.

and I couldn't help but smile at him and we run.

I didn't know what I was gonna do, how I was gonna fight , it's only been few days since I started training. not even training, I just know defense.

but I still run...

Ambrose is way ahead of me. I see him fighting with the wolves already....

everyone else is awake and coming out with their weapons in their hands... except the people who came here with me to learn. because we don't know how to fight and I realize I can't too so why I'm making my way to the dark wolves...

I only had this thought and I see Katherine besides me followed by waldo, Wyatt, Edison, Ralph and Jasper. they all look at me smiling and somehow I forget that I didn't learn fighting. I just knew that I had to fight and stop these monsters hiding behind the shadows.

my pace was increased automatically that now I was running like Katherine. with her pace.

I was shocked but not them.

we reach the dark wolves. they were hundreds of them and we were only few.

everybody starts fighting.

a wolf attack me directly the way Edison attacked me that day, I didn't know what to do then but now I know. the dark wolf went for my head with his scary paw and I dug, hit his heart with the knife I had in my hand and he instantly dies.

everyone saw me but it's like they knew... they knew it already that I can fight and then I realized Edison wasn't just teaching us how to protect ourselves, he was teaching us how to defend and kill.

i moved forward saving myself and hit at the first chance I get. I don't know how I was so strong and fearless but I just knew one thing that I have to fight. we were lesser in comparison to them. All the princes and Katherine including our soldiers are fighting but we were still less in numbers..

I remember Edwin and his wolves were visiting their palace today, they were supposed to come till evening today but they got held up I guess. I don't know the details, it's just what I've heard from the people around here.

I watch Katherine fighting and she is the best fighter here. she's wasn't hesitating before making any move. Every attack of her was smooth like air and the way she was holding her weapon was..... as if those blades were part of her body itself.

I mentally make a note that I wanna learn how to fight like her.

I was busy complimenting and praising her when I see a shadow behind me and heard " Down" .

I sit down and Katherine cuts the wolf neck swiftly...

" Thanks" i say.

________________

"Thanks" alisha say to me.

"Stop them from entering the tents" I ask alisha to go towards the tents. she kills some wolf on her way there.

she's a good fighter, she just don't know it yet and she's isn't properly trained too. fighting is one of her power that she still need to figure out.

But we're less in numbers in comparison to them.

Me and my brothers can stop them here but we still need someone to look after the tents because if any rival wolf reach there, they can easily get hostages there . we can't protect and fight at the same time.

wolves were supposed to guard the parameters tonight but they ahf to visit their palace because of Edwin's parents wedding anniversary and since we had decided to have peace with the dark world, Waldo and Ambrose thought we're safe and allowed them to go but they're supposed to return till evening, guess they got held up.

" Ahh!!! alisha screams in pain.

The leader of the dark wolves had captured Alisha. There was no alpha in this pack, that means this is just a team sent to attack us.

"drop your weapons or I'll kill her " he placed his claws on alisha's neck and I could see blood slipping down her neck.

wolves have the ability to be in the middle state. half wolf half human. They can control their shape and that's why are known as shape shifter.

All of my brothers stopped at their place but didn't drop their weapons neither did I.

all of them were throwing daggers with their eyes to the wolf. they're glowering at him as if they would shred him to pieces at the very first chance they get.

I can understand their situation. Love of their life is in hands of their enemy who's hurting her.

Alisha is more than capable of protecting herself but she doesn't know it yet.

" leeeaaavvvveeee her" edwin shouts in his deep voice as he jumps from meters away in his alpha wolf form.

The wolf tightens his fingers over her scared but didn't release her and then it hit me.

'why Alisha? why did he only took Alisha hostage? there were so many other innocent people too. does he know about her? but how does he? we ourselves are not sure yet.

If he knows then the king of the dark world knows too. she's in real and more danger then we've imagined but at least now we're sure it's her.

I mind linked everyone " brothers he knows. he knows about her " and all six of them turn towards me shockingly. They couldn't believe what I just said and then it hit them tooo...

" leave her " jasper roarrr in anger.

" surrender " the dark wolf demands.

Edwin then looks at me and I know exactly what he's asking me to do.

I throw my star blade - The shuriken at Alisha's arm that cuts her slightly buy the wolf's arm completely.

he winces in pain and removes his claws from Alisha's neck harshly making her bleed a little..

Alisha without wasting any minute dugs, Edwin then jumps over Alisha to reach the wolf throat and kills him instantly.

other members of his team runs back as their leader was now dead.

we couldn't capture them unfortunately because our soldiers were injured too and my brothers were.... well busy at staring Alisha's wound.

and thankfully nobody among us was severely injured.

"Are you okay? " Wyatt asks Alisha making her sit on the bench and then sitting next to her.

she doesn't reply as she's amazed at the treatment.

Alisha was just looking at them surprisingly because she just saw them killing those wolves without flinching and now they're worried as hell looking at her wound.

'Am I so important to them and Even if I'm, why?' Alisha questions herself and decides to ask them right there.

" why? " why is all she could mutter in front of them, but they understood what she's trying to say.

Among everybody present there, she was the only one in dark, only one who doesn't know a thing and that made them sad, because they wanted her. they loved her but it's impossible to tell her what she wanted to hear. It's not the right time.

All of them decided that they're gonna tell her everything soon and ignored her question by changing the topic smoothly.

" Waldo? how did they enter? you were on watch last". Ambrose questions his oldest brother because they both are the ones responsible for camp's security.

"Edsion was supposed to come this evening. He didn't so I went to check on him but heard the bell and came back as soon as possible. though it's my mistake. I should have been careful . I'll look into the matter myself ". Waldo explains.

" But how did they even enter the kingdom's wall? They can't enter without our permission right? " Jasper questions.

" They can't " Ralph says as he's the one to seal the deal.

" Someone must have opened the doors for them". Edison doubts.

" But who would do that? " Alisha asks to all of them. She's just an citizen but they all were the Royals of the kingdom. They're supposed to protect it. Fairies have created a magical wall around kingdom through which nobody can neither enter nor leave. This wall is supposed to maintain peace in both the places.

" The dark world disturbed the peace agreement. I need to go and inform this to father". Edison informed and left right at that moment.
