The Hybrid Prophecy

Chapter Two

Dear Rose

I am sorry for what happened at dinner but please understand everything I ever did was to protect you, I did not want what happened to your father to happen to you. You are old enough to learn how your father died, as you know there are two kingdoms, first is the vampire kingdom, second is the werewolf kingdom. Since the beginning when the moon goddess created us we were meant to live in harmony with each other and for a long time everything was peaceful, everyone could come and go between the kingdom and your father and were friends with the king and queen of the wolves.

But one day the prince of the wolves was kidnapped and the king and queen thought that it was vampires that has taken him. Wolves started to kill vampires and everyone in our kingdom was getting scared, your father was talking to the king and trying to explain that we did not take their son and that we are happy to help search for him. For a while we did not hear anything from the other kingdom but then one day your father revised a letter asking him to meet the king of the wolves at the edge of the forest that stands between the two kingdoms.

I wanted to go with your father but I was pregnant with you and could give birth at any moment, so you father went alone. I told him to take some guards with him but he did not think that anything was going to happen. I was sitting in your fathers and mine room waiting to hear some news from him when I sharp in my arm, my hand maid called for the doctor which to see what was wrong with me but I knew it was not me that was in pain it was your father.

I called for the guards to find your father as fast as they could, that he needed their help but it was too late. By the time that the guards had got to your father the wolves had completely tore him apart and set him on fire. There was nothing we could do to save him, this started a war for the vampires, they wanted revenge for the killing of their king but I could not let more of my people die. Even though I wanted to avenge your father’s death I knew he would not want to kill innocent people.

That is when I made the rule that no wolf is allowed in my kingdom, if any of the entre my kingdom that they will be killed. I was very depressed from losing my mate that I would not leave my room, the only thing that brought me out of my depression was when I gave birth to you but I could not see anything but your father when I looked at you and that is why I pushed myself into the work I needed to do for the kingdom and not spending time with you and for that I am sorry. It is no excuse but I still have not gotten over your father’s death.

That is why I was doing what I was doing, I was trying to protect you in my own way. I now know that I got it wrong. Please my child be safe out there, do not leave Rickie. He has to be by your side always, I hope you find our mate some and come back to me soon. I will be waiting for you and your mate to return, I love you my child be safe.

As I finish reading the letter my mother had gave me I feel the tears falling from my eyes, how could the wolves kill my father? I feel Rickie put his arm around me trying to comfort me, I turn and bury my head into his shoulder and cry until I have nothing left.

   “Why would they do that to my father?” I sob as I try to calm myself down, I don’t know if Rickie way waiting for me to calm down to give me the answer or if he did not have an answer for me.

   “I do not know why they killed your father but I promise you they will not lay a finger on you” he says to me while holding my face with both of his hands and made me look into his eyes and I knew that I could trust him with my life. I sat down looking up at the midnight sky while waiting for Rickie to set up our tent. I could not help but marvel at how beautiful the moon and stars where, they looked like diamonds in the sky.

   “Ok your highness you tent it ready” Rickie says with a smile on his face and bowing to me, he knows I hate it.

“Do not call me that Rickie, you know how I hate that and do not bow to me, we do not want people to know who I am. I want my mate to love me for me not the crown he will be getting” I whisper to him in case someone is around. Rickie just nods his head and opens the tent for me and zips it shut at after he got in.

   “You know with how close we are I thought that you and I would have been mates” I say while getting ready for bed, out of the corner of my eye I saw that Rickie had stopped getting ready for bed. I turn to face him, to see if he was ok or if I had some what offended him.

  “At one point I thought you was my mate Rose, I have loved you for a long time but whenever I thought about kissing you it always seemed weird like I was thinking about kissing my sister. That is when I found out that we were not mates and that I was meant to protect you and love you like a sister.” He says while looking at the ground, I did not know he thought like this.

   “I am sorry I did not know you thought like that but I have to say I have always felt the same about you like you were a brother to me” I say as I hugged him. I felt him hug me back and I could not help but be happy that he is hear with me, that I was not doing this alone.

   “Come on it’s time we go to bed, we have got a long way to travel in the search for your mate” he says with a smirk on his face. He points towards my bed and with a huff I walk to my bed and pull the sheets back and climb into my bed. I am surprised that the bed is softer then I thought it would have been harder than this.

   “Ok mother I am going to bed are you happy?” I say while trying to contain my laugher but failing, I look over at Rickie and see that he is laughing as well making me laugh harder. We spend the next couple of hours talking about a load of different things I started to feel tired. The last thing I felt was Rickie pull the quilt up on me.

   I found myself standing in a beautiful meadow and I was alone of so I thought, as I walked further into the meadow I started to see something hiding in the bushes. I moved closer to whatever it was that was hiding, as I got closer I saw that it was an animal. I kept moving closer trying to figure out what it was when it suddenly jumped out of it’s hiding spot, it was a giant wolf but the colour of the wolf was not a normal colour. It was the colour of a clear midnight sky blue, it’s fur looked so soft that I could not help myself but touch it.

   “I see you found midnight” I hear someone say which makes me quickly turn around, stood in front of me was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen before and yet it felt like I knew her. The woman walked over to the wolf and I and start to pet the wolf.

   “Midnight usually does not like strange people touching her, I’m surprised that she has let you pet her” she says to me while looking at the wolf. I could not stop petting the wolf, it seemed like the wolf and I knew each other.

   “Well it is my dream so I should think the wolf would come to me” I say which makes the woman laugh, her laugh sounds like a bunch of bells ringing all at the same time. The woman stops petting the wolf and just looks and me. It is like she is trying to find something out without asking.

   “Yes it is just a dream and now it is time for you to wake up” she says and the next thing I know is I’m laying in my bed facing Rickie. I quickly sit up and look around trying to remember where I am, oh that’s right I am searching for my mate. I lay back down and think back to the dream I was just having, I have never had a dream like that before and I never dreamt of that woman before but yet she looked so familiar. After a while I just shake my head when the answer of how I know that woman just not come to mind and I roll over and try to get some more sleep before I start traveling today.
