Gwen's Pov

"How long will it take for them to wake up?" I ask Carlisle as I stand in Henry's room.

"3 days."

"What am I going to tell His parents?" I turn to him.
"Hey Wilma your son just so happens to be a vampire now. Let's laugh about it over dinner. Ha Ha Ha!"

"We'll think about it Gwen. We can say that they passed away-"

"I am not telling her that her son died Carlisle." I coldly tell him. Turning back to Henry, I walk over to him touching his cheek. His temperature has already started to change. I glance over at James, guilt and regret filling me.

You should of kept to yourself Gwen. You shouldn't of gotten this close to them.

"Love..."

"I should of been more strict. I should not of allowed them to become friends. I just wanted him to have a normal life." Tears come to my eyes.

"It's not your fault Love-"

"It is. I should of gone back to Egypt when Amun asked me to. Then none of this would of happened."

"Not even meeting us? Or what about Ms. D?" I look to him. I understand but...
"I know it's hard right now love, but we're all here with you." He tells me.

"Nothing is going to be normal from here on out Carlisle. They know where I am."

"Nothing was ever normal Gwen." He hugs me.
"You're not alone. We are here with you and we'll figure this out together. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Carlisle, can we talk for a moment?" Edward asks.

"I'll be back okay." He says kissing my head and leaving the room.

Carlisle's Pov

I walk down the stairs and back into the living room with the others.

"How are you feeling Ms. D?"

"Fit as a fiddle Carlisle. Jumped on one of their backs, held him in a choke hold. Got slammed into the wall though, but all worth it."

"Slow down tiger." I say chuckling. The woman can take a hit I tell you. Seth is also doing a lot better as well. Thankfully we didn't have to go through another shattered bones experience, like with Jacob.

Alice, Jasper and Edward all stood in the far corner talking. Very softly at that.

"What's wrong guys? What did you want to talk about Edward?" They all turn to me. Glancing at each other again, before Jasper came forward and spoke.

"Before we came here, Alice got a vision about Gwen." I look at him confused.

"But I thought Alice couldn't see Gwen's future?" Ms. D questions.

"I still can't. Well honestly I didn't think that me seeing her in the field of flowers was actually me seeing her future."

"What did you see Alice?" I ask urgently.

"The flowers in the field are now dead, and the entire place is dark, and stormy. She wasn't smiling anymore, and her eyes were purple and her hair was glowing white. She looked so powerful."

"She's in her full element." Ms. D says. We all looked to her.

"The Elementress' sole purpose for being born is to protect her people. Said people are now in danger." She explains to us.
"Gwen is very powerful. Do not let those beautiful blue eyes fool you. She has the power to destroy an entire country if she releases her rage entirely. Causing torrential rains in Bakewell was basically scraping the surface."

"With everything going on, I know she's not okay. She may look calm to us on the outside, but on the inside...I know for a fact that it is eating her up. It's the whole reason why she prefers to stay by herself. She knows the trouble that follows her. Gwen acts as if she is all dandy, but she has always been on guard."

She's always been on guard?

"I know she thinks that because she's "The Elementress" it means she has to handle it herself, fight on her own. I mean she could handle it single handedly, don't get me wrong, but I'm afaird that she may lose herself in the process of it." I feel myself become worried for my mate.

"You saw it yourself, the time Henry mentioned if the Volturi will hurt him. That has never happened before. And I noticed that she was on edge for a few days after that as well. And that time in the forest, after the jail incident...she's gotten stronger."

"But what does this mean Ms. D?" Esme asks her.

"The chaos she is born to stop is coming...or more like it's here."

Honey's Pov

Slowly opening my eyes, I see the familiar ceiling of my cottage. I move my legs to the end of the bed, trying to get up.

The door opens, and the same man from before rushes in. Coming to my side.

"Careful. You're still weak."

"Who are you?" I stare at him.

"You don- Gastron. Gastron Quintel."

The El prince.

"What are you doing here? How did you end up there? Why were you there?"

"One question at a time. I saved you remember. I went there with Darcel. She brought me there to meet someone. I didn't agree with what they planning, so I left. Found you and set you free from your chains and here we are. You've been asleep for two days."

"What!? I have to call Amun!! I have to-"

"Rest. I made some breakfast for you to eat. I'm not sure if they fed you while you were there."

"They did. However not enough. The stronger I am, the more I can use my powers. The chains kept me locked in the room, but the drug they fed me in my food, kept me from using my powers."

"Hm. Do you want to eat here, or do you want to go downstairs?"

"Downstairs please." He goes to lift me up bridal style, but I hit his hands away, standing for myself.

"I could help you-"

"I don't trust you."

Looking around at the small cottage, I started to realize just how much I missed home. He places me down to sit at the dinning table, my mouth watering at the sight of the food.

The Cottage.

"I'm not much of a cook but I hope eggs and toast is fine."

"Hm."

We ate in silence for awhile, the taste of it all was soo good.

I was surprised when he entered the room. Thinking he was a new guard, but his concern towards me showed me otherwise.

If I was stronger I would of gotten out of those chains myself but I couldn't. However he was able to find the weak link and got the chains to break.

"I'm going to assume you've been away from here for a good while." He says, making conversation.
"How it is though, that all of your groceries are still fresh?"

Wiping my mouth with napkin before I speak, I tell him.
"Someone passes once in a awhile."

"Even though you've been gone for so long?"

"I contacted her recently."

"And you trust her? To not let anyone know about you? That Anderson dude for one."

"I don't trust you, yet here we are. Plus many people in Faitoria, despises my brother for what he has done. Many have left the kingdom before he had a chance to make any decrees stopping them from leaving, and settled in other countries. The woman who comes here being one of them."

"And where is here?" He asks.

I stare at him for awhile.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you banished from the El kingdom for trying kill the Elementress. You just so happen to stumble into that room I was being captive in? I teleport us out of there, to my safe place, and now you want to know where exactly we are?" I say looking him dead in his eyes. If he thinks he can try something, I will turn him to dust.
"What's your motive?"

"When you put it like that it sounds horrible." He says.
"I really have no motive. I was looking for the exit, when I found you. I had no idea of who you were or are. I just saw a bruised woman, lying down on a cold floor."

"The poison incident."

"My ex wife planned it all without my knowledge. We weren't particularly close, her and I. It was a loveless marriage." He explains.

"I did try to get to know her in the beginning, but she turned out to be power hungry and spoiled rotten. When the I found out what she did, I know it was horrible, but I saw it as my ticket to freedom. I knew my brother wouldn't kill me, so I took my banishment and I left. My father immediately made us divorce, and she was sent back to her kingdom to live put her punishment."

"A prince that desires a life out of royalty." I state, sitting up.

"Aren't there many like us. Forced into obligation for the kingdom sake. Marrying persons we don't love because it will benefit said kingdom. The exceeding demands that come with being royalty. Sometimes never being able to have your own opinion."

"As a boy, I dreamed of being King but when I saw what that entailed, I changed my mind. So I became the reckless no good prince that everybody despised,and my father gave the throne to Winston. It might sound horrible,
why do all those things just for freedom...I must admit I was young and stupid, but then, it was all I could think of."

"How old are you?"

"In my hundreds. I've lost count." I nod.

The prince who was known as The Docile Prince of Eltria, only wanted freedom. He had a stupid way of going about it, but I guess he probably saw that as his only way out.

I'm also not unaware to the pull I feel towards him. From the moment we met. But I was too weak to be sure. Now, I knew for a fact he was my chosen.

Ha! The prince saves the girl locked away in a room for years. Sounds a fairytale.

"I'm heading to Eltria" He passes his hand through his hair.

"Okay."
