__safia
 A furious safia knelt next to the unmoving green colored werewolf, getting dirt and blood on her dress in the process, the girl that fainted snap awake and immediately she started crying, safia hugged her and tried to cover her eyes, not wanting her to see the bloody scene.
 Not seconds after a woman push through and drops down next to safia calling out *Vivian! My child!!* hearing her mothers voice vivian push away from safia and cried into her mothers arms.
With a screech the carriage stopped and king Travis literally jumped down, quickly the people all bow, the soldiers gave way for the king, immediately he reached them king Travis pulled safia off her feet and shouted *are you hurt!? Did they hurt you?!* safia just shook her head no.
 Anthony drops into a bow and spoke *This is all my fault your majesty, I am in charge of security and I failed my duties as a general, I shall accept my punishment without a word of resistance* king Travis nods and ordered *handle this* 
 Standing up Anthony immediately got into action *soldiers! Clear the town square, and take the life werewolf to the palace dangeon!* looking at his two trusty minions he spoke *take the dead one away* the soldiers scurry into action.
Vivian started pleading loudly *no! Please no! Don't take them away, mother stop them! They're not bad, they're cas and jasper and cas saved my life mother please, your majesty! Princess please stop them!!*
 But nobody paid attention to the desperate Vivian, her mother was busy crying and trying to wipe the blood away from her daughters face, while the king has took safia's hand and lead them towards the carriage he arrived in, safia helplessly looked back at the still pleading girl.
 The royal guest were escorted into their carriages and they took off back to the castle. The people whisper as they break into groups and are heading out of the town square and back to their homes.
 *can you believe it, the princess got so angry just because a werewolf was killed..*
*how can you say that, the princess did the right thing today, it is clear that werewolf was only trying to protect his friend and don't forget, they saved little Vivian's life* 
*whatever will happen now we don't know, but I'm sure the king will soon call for all of us, to intorogate us or to explain what happened*
The whispers continue, some positive and some negative.
 As the carriage rush back to the palace king Travis spoke in a calm voice to safia *you should calm down now dear, it was an accident the pup died* safia spoke out *father they're just kids trying to protect each other, they blew up their cover to save a human girl, a human girl father!*
 King Travis dismiss *yes yes what the soldier did was wrong, but its done now and it can't be changed* safia sighs and ask *what are you going to do with cas, the other werewolf?* taking a moment to think, king Travis reply *its being taken to the dangeon now, I'll just send a message to its kind to come collect their...child*
 safia nods  *how can you send the message? Do you know where they are?* *no I don't, I'm taking a gamble to send a messenger to the forest till he finds them...* he reply
 Safia shook her head and decided *but tonight's ball is canceled, it has to be canceled*
 with a tired tune king Travis ask *and why must the ball be canceled?...*
 safia answer *to honor jasper of course*
 *and who's jasper* 
*the werewolf that the soldier....I heard the girl they saved, vivian. Refers to him as jasper*
               
      
    king Travis thought " this things really do care about each other, so maybe they might just come today to collect him, ..instead of tomorrow, and I wouldn't want another event to be interrupted" and then he spoke to safia * yes okay, no ball tonight then*
    safia added *and I want to speak to him, the other werewolf, cas,.. I want to speak to him father* her dad sighs and replied *its too dangerous you can't ..* but safia cuts him short before he finish *father please allow me to speak to him, its important I do* pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance king Travis let out *...fine...* 
 
    safia thanked *thank you father* 
 he nods as he thought " its important for me know what will happen next, will the werewolves just attack us or will they just take him and leave, I hate to say but I hope its the latter...and I also need safia to calm down, why get so emotional over this little issue, if talking to the werewolf kid will help her calm down so be it, its inappropriate for a princess to be this emotional"
   *****
 the others have arrived at the palace and currently sitting in a big lavish living room waiting for the princess and the king, and as  the king came in with safia at his side Susan ran towards safia and hug her, she ask * are you alright?* safia smiles and nods, and Susan sigh in relief.
 King Travis ask *I hope everyone is fine, nobody was hurt?* prince Adidaya started to raise his hand, wanting to speak. Noticing him king Travis quickly add *hurt physically* immediately Adi drops down his hand and looked down.
  the king continue *its unfortunate you had to witness such a scene today, and tonight's ball is canceled for more investigation needs to be done, I suggest you all stay inside the palace for the rest of the day, its safer...and please whatever you desire say so, I shall see you're attended to myself*
   
  prince Habib spoke first * back in fango things like these used to happen between us humans and the sand worms, but anyway, if I'm to stay in my chambers then I'll need..A smoke pipe, and lots of beautiful servants preferably from Lilly willy *
 Hearing prince Habib's request king Travis shot safia a suspicious look, she shrugs innocently.
 Prince Adidaya quietly request *may I have some guards at my chambers door please..your majesty* Alex spoke next *I don't require anything your majesty, don't worry about us we're fine..*Alex is a fighter and a future king, so he's seen his own share of bloody deaths, and this one Won't traumatize him.
 Susan spoke *I am fine too your majesty.....but I'd like some triple chocolate  cake and flower brownies please* while prince Liam kept silent and didn't request anything.
 Nodding king Travis spoke *alright then, your request will be seen to immediately, thank you for understanding my kingdoms situation* they slightly bow and excused themselves.
 Before leaving susan squeeze safia's hand in a comforting manner, she whispers *don't worry sister, it will be fine* safia smile appreciatively.
 King Travis spoke as he and safia walk towards the balcony where the people have gathered *today I'll let you do the talking* a little surprise safia ask *but why..* he answer *you're more good with words than I am*.
 Reaching the balcony, king Travis look upon the people that gathered, most of them stayed back at their homes for fear of the werewolf incident happening again.
 He spoke *evening my people, it is truly unfortunate the beautiful celebration was interrupted today, but worry not, your king will handle it* he looks at safia indicating its time to do her thing with the words.
 Stepping forward safia spoke in a calm voice with a kind expression *I'm sorry you had to witness that unfortunate scene earlier, it is not fair and it wasn't supposed to happen, I will make a promise to you all, from today onward, no human or werewolf will ever get hurt from an outsider inside this kingdom, our children will never have to witness anything violent again, you are all safe here in black moon kingdom, and I will make sure you continue to stay safe*
 The people felt at ease with safia's words, one man among them shouted out *but what about the werewolf inside the palace my princess?*
 safia reply *the king has sent word to the werewolves that they should come and get their child, unharmed. And as for the other that is no longer here, we will apologize to them sincerely, and as results tonight's ball is canceled to honor the sacrifice of the young pup. They might be our enemies, but we must not forget they are just children trying to protect themselves, and they saved the life of our child today whilst risking theirs*
And this time the people cheer, their princess promising words has brought peace to their restlessness, They head back to their homes feeling better, while king Travis head to his office and safia rush to her chambers for a few moments, then quickly head down to the palace dangeon.
 Safia stood in front of the palace dangeon door holding a small basket, the place is dark except for the fire touches giving it a little light, two guards push open the two double heavy metal door, handing safia a fire touch she starts descending down the long narrow damp stairs, the smell of rotten wood and dirty water filled the slippery place.
 Watching her steps safia carefully made it to the last cell, and there she saw a frail looking boy with short fluffy brown hair curled into a ball, his shoulders shaking as he sob, his cloths are all torn and hanging around him loosely.
 
 Safia softly calls out *cas?..* he raised his head and look at safia, his clear blue eyes filled with tears, not able to tolerate it anymore safia took out a bunch of keys and started inserting them one by one until she found the right one and open the cell door, she quickly step into the dirty damp cell, her dress is already bloody and dirty from the incident before and it was a surprise her father didn't made her change before addressing the people earlier.
 Dropping the small basket, safia opens it and brought out a soft blanket which she quickly wrap around the shivering boy, she ask *how is your legs? I brought medicine* cas spoke *my arms not legs, and they've heald* safia spoke *really, that fast...wow*
 She looked at cas, then spoke *I also brought food* cas smiles hearing that, safia brought out apples and grapes which cas happily munch on, safia watches him intently then whisper *I am sorry about your friend....I should have ran faster and got to you quickly, no I should have notice something at least I..* 
 Cas cuts her softly *it is not your fault...I believe in destiny so I know jaspers death was ....destiny like my...mom and dads...* the boy started crying again.
Safia knew what he meant, he's a werewolf and base on the history hunter told her he's cas, the little werewolf prince, hunter March's little brother.
 Scooting closer safia hugged cas and patted his head, trying to comfort him.
                                 
__king Travis
 *what do you mean sorry!! A sorry isn't going to fix this mess! I trusted you with MY kingdoms safety and YOU FAILED ME, maybe they're even spies sent by the werewolves* king Travis yelled
*I assure you your majesty they are not spies, when I saw then i thought they're thief's and I've been following them closely, they are harmless to us* Anthony spoke in a calm voice.
*harmless! Who are you to conclude that they're harmless!?!* king Travis yelled again.
 In his office king Travis was pacing back and forth while Anthony kneel with his head bowed down.
 King Travis spoke *whatever the case is, you failed me, you failed your kingdom and you failed your title as general I shall just dismiss you from all the responsibilities you clearly can't handle!* 
Quickly Anthony begged *I beg your mercy my king, I made a grave mistake deserving of that punishment but please your highness i beg your mercy...* 
 With a hump, king Travis spoke *werewolves entered my kingdom, undetected. Someone helped them, a traitor. Now if i were to wage war on them or they wage war on me, what do you think would happen? ITS A LOST BATTLE FOR ME!*
 Anthony begged again *I beg for your mercy my king please give me a chance, I will find that traitor and slaughter them, I will intorogate every single soldier and behead anyone suspicious, give me a chance my king and I will never disappoint you again*
 King Travis picked up a scroll from his table and threw it at Anthony, he spoke *make sure this gets to the werewolves before dawn, and I will tolerate no more mistakes from you Anthony.* 
Picking up the scroll Anthony deeply bow and thanked *thank you your majesty, I will forever remain grateful to you* and he quickly exist the kings office.
 King Travis flops down on the couch with a tired sigh, he whispers *damm werewolves...*
 
 
__Anthony 
As he walked out of the kings office, Anthony let out a frustrated sigh, he thought angrily *he insulted me! Despite my position as general he insulted me and threatened to strip me of my status!
 Thou I am glad for one thing, he did it in private.. But I will pay him back for it, I will pay him back tens fold and I will do it in front of the entire world!*
Anthony stormed into Thomas office (the one in charge of messages coming in and out of the palace) he grabbed a boy walking out and slammed the scroll into his hands, he spoke in a cold voice that gives no room for questions
*make sure you deliver this to the werewolves before dawn, don't come back to this kingdom unless you give this to them* and he turn to walk out When a servant called with a trembling voice
*s.ssir Anthony...prince Liam called for you sir h.he said its urgent..* Anthony walks past the servant and head to prince Liam's chambers.
 Thomas stood and walk to the still shaking mail boy, he collected the scroll and head out to deliver it himself.
Bang! Liam's chamber door slammed open, startling him.Anthony storms in and before liam could speak he spoke *don't even start to lecture me Liam, I didn't know about the werewolves and no I didn't plan that accident, I'm as furious as you are, the king is furious even the princess is angry for some silly reason of hers and our plan is in danger*
 Liam sighs and spoke *alright I get it calm down now, I'm not furious and our plan is not in danger, the princess was never going to choose me, she refuse to fall into our trap, but now the king himself called them, its an opportunity for us, we can skip and just execute the plan*
 Anthony ask *what do you mean skip and execute the plan?* smiling liam spoke *have a seat my friend*.
        
   
__safia
 On the hard dirty cell floor safia sat with cas who is no longer crying, he finishes *and ever since then I always believed I'd find mom and dad here in the palace dangeon, I know its just my fantasy but I was hoping for the impossible, and today the reality hits me, they are not here...not in the dangeon or in this world.* 
Safia kept silent, not knowing what to say she patted cas head again in silent comfort, the boy push away her hand and spoke *stop patting my hair I'm not some child, you're ruining my perfect hairstyle*
Safia chuckles *your perfect hairstyle is non existing, here let me fix it for you* safia comb her fingers through cas hair and sorted out the knots, then using her fingers still she styled his hair neatly *tadaa...its done*
Cas ask *how'd you get the keys to the cells? I'm certain they didn't just gave it to you* safia answers *I have my ways* cas state *you stole them didn't you* safia defended *no I didn't, I just took then when they weren't looking*
Cas state factly *yup you stole them* safia insists *I did not..* cas wasn't backing out *you did, you so did* and safia wasn't giving up  *did not* *did do*..*did not*...*did do* finally safia stopped it *okay okay...let's agree to disagree* cas nods *fine with me*
Then he added *are you sure you're the princess?* safia confirms *yes i am, why ask* cas reply *well because princess don't walk around with dirty dress, they don't get angry in public and slap their soldiers, princess don't break the rules and enter a prisoners cell...they don't do a lot of things but you do...*
Safia smiles and spoke *not this princess, rules are not made to be broken, but when necessary, sometimes you must break a rule to do the right thing,...and you're not a prisoner cas, the king is just keeping you in here for...your safety* cas nodded while safia looks at him.
He ask *why do you stare at me so much?* safia casually reply *because you look so much like him....the other day when we met at the bazaar, you were telling me about your brother, care to tell me more?*
 Cas nod and started *hunter is tall and handsome..* safia softly interrupt *not that...what color is your brother's eyes?* cas answers *blue like mine, his hair is also like mine but longer, he's literally the older and less attractive version of me*
Safia giggles and ask *and uh..when werewolves shift into their werewolf self, do their eye color and hair color change?* cas reply *nope and yup, eye colors don't change, but sometimes our hair color influence our fur color, like me, my hair is brown and my werewolf fur is brown*
 Safia nodded, after a moment she ask *cas are you sure your last name is not mishra?* he reply *its march not mishra, what mishra..* safia stammers as her heart is starting to beat faster *
 *cas does your brother perhaps...go out at like...night?* cas started *I'm not sure if I should answer that question of yours princess, what if....* he was interrupted by the guards voice *my princess the king is calling for you, the werewolves have arrived....hey princess you shouldn't be in there its dangerous*
 Cas cheer *I knew they'd come for me! And you mr prison guard are wrong, it is not dangerous being in here with me, its comforting* scowling the guard snaps at cas *you...don't talk to me* safia cuts them *okay I'll be there..* the guard nods and left.
 Looking at cas safia spoke *you stay warm here I'll go meet your brother, don't worry you'll go home today safe and sound* cas quickly hug safia and spoke *I wanted to ask you about another safia but its okay, we'll talk another time...maybe* 
Safia ask *what other safia cas?* the guard call out *princess safia the king is waiting!* safia curses inwardly then spoke *bye cas..* she step out of the cell holding the now empty basket as cas spoke *bye nice princess safia* safia quickly climb up the slippery stairs as she waves bye at cas with a smile.
She head out to meet the werewolves.
