“Well, of course, I love her.”, I state.“You’ve made me proud.”, she tells me.“I’m glad I made someone proud.”, I whisper.“You’ve made Jessica proud as well.”, she says.“Mhm.”Realizing my bloodline only wanted something in return, so when they didn’t get it, they got mad. Shaking my head, I get up and decide to go on a midnight scroll.“Mind watching over Jess and Maya?”, I asked.“Yes, ma’am.”, she says.Grabbing a jacket before heading out; feeling the cool night air nipp

“How are you able to control a griffin?”, he asks, glaring at me.“I don’t.”, I simply put it.“Bull!”, he screams.“It’s not, but whatever.”, I say.“Who in their right mind wouldn’t want to control a griffin?”, he says.“Griffins are free, by controlling them, they’re not.”, I state.“Don’t be stupid, you control griffin. People worship and fear you.”, he says with a smirk.“You’re stupider than you look.”, I murmured out.“What did you say! A king need

Scared but more determined to keep Jess safe, I hold my position until Walter comes and takes her- once they’re gone, drop the ice barrier and decide to call him out.“Come out, come out, wherever you are.”, I say, taunting him.Waiting a few minutes, he comes out, hissing. Holding a laugh, I make an ice chair since he enjoys moving so slow; sitting down, I play with my fingers. Finally, he got in front of me just a few feet away- wanting to get to business done so I’m not late for class.“Is there a reason you're not with your babysitters?”“I am the king and kings don’t need babysitters.”, he hisses out.“Yes yes, I’ve heard it before.”, I say halfheart

Not wanting her to feel like I was being nosy, I sat down in my seat and turned my attention to her.“What are you reading?”, I asked her.“A letter.”, she answers.“From?”“Mr. Jagger.”, she answers without taking her eyes off it.“Do we have him?”, I asked.“Yes… I think?”, she answers.“What does it say?”, I ask curiously.“That if I don’t take you out of here, then I’ll be removed as headmistress.”, she says.“Um, yeah, no

A year and a half have passed since I became queen; I’m still teaching but not full-time. Silvia has had Walter teacher of my classes, so I can focus more on getting allies. All stores must treat each dark or light creature equally. Sadly, I wasn't able to change their minds on half-lings, but I could see that talking to half-ling isn’t social suicide, so that's a bonus. The shadow beings live among the griffins. Both are quite happy; Jess has more friends, along with Griff. I met some very interesting people who somehow got away with a few things. For one, my sister is still experimenting on her family, the things I saw- she got the death penalty along with her lover. As for Mr. Jagger, let's just say there are now levels on what type of vampire you are. Right now, I’m in Silvia’s office; I have already finished teaching my classes for today, so I decide to hang out with her for a while.
