The Hybrid Princess

Chapter 13

Mtchell's Part

"Lily… Lily, wake up, it's morning, we have to go," Mitchell whispered to try and wake Lily up.

"Hmmm," Lily muttered drowsily, slowly turning on her side on the ground where she was lying in the woods to peek into Mitchell's face drowsily before shutting her eyes again as she wanted to sleep some more.

"Wake up, Lily, we have to go," Mitchell called out again and shook her body at the same time. Lily slowly opened her eye and yarned, stretching out her hand. She has forgotten where they are but immediately she opened her eyes, she paused abruptly, her eyes widened as she realised where they were.

"Yes, Lily, it is time to go," Mitchell said, seeing that she now realised where they were, she gestured, urging her to get up. She had glanced around the place and seen that it was safe for them to leave the woods.

"Time to go?" Lily asked and stood up immediately after she recalled what had happened and where she was.

"Yes, Lily," Mitchell replied, gesturing for her to follow her, which Lily did immediately.

"Will you be going home from here?" Lily asked after she had walked her out of the woods back to the road where she could leave for her house.

"Yes, Lily, I will," Mitchell replied her. She wasn't in the mood to argue with her or listen to her preach about how lucky she was for having wealthy parents, all she wanted was for Lily to go back to home safely as she does not know exactly what to do yet, even though she knew that going back to her parents house wasn't an option.

"That's a good thing to do Mitchell, running away isn't the best idea, especially for your cute mum," Lily said, before waving me goodbye.

Mitchell waved her back in return and watched until she had gone out of sight. She pressed her lips together, thinking of what she should do exactly now that Lily had gone. She stared at the road, she has no money with her to board a bus and would have asked Lily for some money or asked if she could follow her to her house but she didn't because Lily would know that she wasn't going to go home and also to keep her safe.

Mitchell decided to ask someone for some money for bus fare, hoping that she could find help. She started off to go catch a bus, having a mixed feeling because she has never travelled on the bus before, neither have she travelled alone.

"Dav," Mitchell gasped and then paused abruptly when she caught sight of Dav and one other man she hadn't seen before. She quickly turned on her left and ran into the woods hoping they did not see her.

She already knew her Parents would be searching for her by now but she did not expect them to come this far as she and Lily had walked a very long distance through the woods already before coming out here, where they thought would be sage for Lily to board the bus to her house.

Walking into the woods again, Mitchell felt quite scared now that she was walking alone without Lily, especially since she does not know this part of the woods well. A few more steps farther into the woods she saw two other men she hadn't seen before too and hid herself immediately behind one of the woods. "Oh no," she muttered, peeking out from her hiding place to check out the men, wondering whether they were looking for her too and it turned out that they were as they were looking through the woods like they where hunting for animals only they were not holding any guns or something to indicate that they are hunter which made her draw a conclusion that they were looking for her.

Mitchell pressed her lips together, wondering whether they are also vampires or probably werewolves, which made a sudden fear rush through her.

She stayed hidden behind the wood and waited until the men went another way before she left her hiding place being more cautious knowing now that there are men looking for her on the road and in the woods, she hoped thought that she could find a way to get on a bus without being seen or noticed, knowing that she would not last long with these men searching for her if she didn't do so.

Suddenly she caught sight of the two men she just saw earlier again and turned to another direction in the woods hoping she wouldn't get lost like this but just before she could find a good spot to hide from the men she had just been again, when stumbled onto another man.

"Oh dear Lord!" Mitchell exclaimed and turned away immediately from the man had just bumped into and started running and as expected the man also starting running after her and chasing her.

Mitchell only ran a few inches before being caught as the man swept off her feet on the ground, his arms wrapped around her waist.

"Let me go… I do not want to go back home," Mitchell yelled frightfully but the man lifted his large palms and covered her lips with it, his one arm still wrapped around her waist.

Mitchell swung her legs in the air, kicking, her hands also clapped on the man's large palm that was over her mouth, pulling and trying to break herself free from her captor.

The man tightened his grip on her to keep her quite as he sensed two other men on their trail, sensing who they were. He pressed Mitchell against a wood in front of them to hide from the men, even though he was prepared to attack them if they saw him.

Mitchell still fought to free herself from the her captor's hold but in vain, wondering how her got to catch her so fast. Soon afterwards the man holding her let her go, pushing her away from himself even though he still has his eyes on her.

Mitchell turned her gaze on him, a little confused, now wondering who the man is, if he was sent by her parents to find her or not. He had never seen him before like the two men earlier. This man looked so handsome, Mitchell couldn't help but took note of, glancing from his well structured face to his broad shoulders and chest, his arms muscles and his body build looked like he has been working out perfectly well.

Mitchell shook her head slightly sideways so that she would not be distracted by his looks as she felt her heart racing while her brain made a mental assessment of his looks, especially after her eyes rested on the blood stains that were on his shirt. Her brows furrowed immediately, as she recalled her parents discussion which she had overheard, wondering if this man was a werewolf or a Vampire.

While Mitchell was checking him out, he too was also checking her out, he took note of her beauty and slender body and most importantly, her strong will, which he loved a lot about his kind of women. He also took note of the words she said when he first grabbed her and the two men that seemed to be looking for her, which made him to come to a conclusion that she was running away from her home and probably did not see what he was doing earlier before she bumped into him, which was the main reason why he had chased her in the first place.

"What are you? Are you a Vampire or a werewolf?" Mitchell blotted out, trying to keep her fears aside.

The man peered at her, trying to assess her reason for asking him such a question, resolving in his mind that if she had seen what he was doing earlier he was going to kill her as she would no longer be of use to him.

"Why would you even think that?" The man scoffed, turning his gaze around them for a while before peering back at Mitchell again, "wait, are there vampires and werewolves in this woods?" He suddenly asked again, "or are you a Vampire or a werewolf, tell me which one are you?" He added, pretending to be feeling frightened and Mitchell could see that it was only an act.

"Stop joking around," Mitchell said calmly, smiling a little as she felt a little safe to know that he wasn't either of them.

The man paused his head in admiration of Mitchell's smile, thinking that she was cute to have and thankful that she didn't see what he was doing earlier else she would have been a waste of beauty, he said inwardly, smiling a little too to reveal a few set of perfectly arranged white teeth which got Mitchell to admire him even more.

"My name is Raymond," the man said suddenly, introducing himself to Mitchell's surprised…
