Tiana woke up feeling sore. Sleeping on the floor wasn't the most pleasant thing when you were used to sleeping on luxurious beds.Rita sat leaning against a tree with eyes closed. Was she asleep? It looked really uncomfortable to be sleeping that way. Yawning, Tiana tried to get up but almost cried as a sharp pain stabbed her leg. Sitting back down quickly she looked at her foot, it had swollen more."What happened?" Rita was suddenly next to me.Frowning in pain "My leg has gotten worse." Tiana replied. Tiana looked at it closely. "I think we need to take you to a doctor.""Is that possible?" In the current situation, it would be difficult to find a doctor.Rita ran her fingers through her hair. She could see the confusion on her face. "We have to. You could lose your leg since we don't know what caused the swelling." Rita stood up and gave Tiana her hand to help her up. Then she helped her walk to the horse. "We need to get to the city." She said as she helped her climb the horse.

"Rita? Where are you going?" Reilla stood at the door while Rita packed her weapons."I am going to find Nicklaus." Rita waited for Reilla to ask why but she didn't."How do I leave? I mean we came through that magic gate." Rita asked."You leave through it as well. Do you want me to open it for you?""Yes, please." Rita followed Reilla outside and she opened the gate for her."Take this." Reilla said handing her a red string bracelet. “It will help you when you are in danger." Rita looked at the bracelet. How would a bracelet help her she wondered but still put it on. "Thank you. I shall go then.""Yes.""Wait!" Tiana came running toward them. "Could you give this to Nicklaus?" She asked holding out a letter.Rita took the letter. "Yes. Goodbye." Then entered the gate with her horse."Be careful." She heard Tiana call before a force swept her away and she landed flat on her stomach."Ouch! Not again!” Standing up she dusted herself off. Then called her house, he seemed fine, just con

Tiana woke up the next morning with an extreme headache. she had been thinking the whole night about what Reilla had told her. she couldn't find a reason for Reilla to lie to her, so she must have been speaking the truth. But then again, how could she believe that she had met the legendry creature? A creature only mentioned in books. Tiana shook her head. “Think straight Tiana.” Reilla wanted Tiana to help her and figure things out herself. “she must have had a reason to tell me that Uzaih is the demon hybrid, if he truly was. Maybe she was giving me hints.” Tiana tried to analyze things but were could she start? First she has to figure out why Reilla wanted to help her at all. “Either she was related to me or to Nicklaus, or maybe Uzaih was related to Nicklaus. Then if Uzaih is the demon hybrid and Nicklaus is said to be the son of the creature with same features as Uzaih....no, no. You are being crazy Tiana”. Tiana talked to herself like a crazy person she could not understand

Tiana was relieved to find that she was back home. Finally, she could meet her husband Nicklaus. She walked through the large halls as fast as she could and slowed down when she neared their quarters. There soldiers were gathered everywhere. Some of them seemed stressed, others terrified. The atmosphere felt tense and everyone seemed busy. Tiana got a bad feeling. What was going on?From a distance, Tiana could see two soldiers coming out of their chamber dragging on a body. A dead body. Right after them came two other soldiers and they were dragging on another dead body as well. her stomach churned as she watched a pool of blood trailing behind them."My Lady?" Tiana almost had a heart attack. Turning her head, she found a surprised Dalton looking at her like he has seen a ghost. "How did you get here?""Dalton. Thank God." Tiana breathed relieved. "Nicklaus? Where is Nicklaus?"Dalton frowned. "I don't think it's a good Idea for you to meet His Highness right now.""Why so? What's h

Nicklaus stared up at the ceiling. Just what the hell happened last night? He was still confused. He had bitten Tiana, bitten her, and his teeth. He felt his teeth with his fingers, they were back to normal. Was it a dream maybe?Nicklaus turned to Tiana. She was sleeping peacefully. His gaze traveled to her neck, he did indeed bite her. He could see the wound which strangely already healed and was now only a faint mark. What he found more strange was that he had wanted to bite her, it had felt so right to do it, as if it was normal to bite her during the deed. He knew was never normal.Nicklaus traced a finger over the scar, the mark felt hot under his finger. Tiana stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes slowly. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands and blinked a few times before she could look at him. He found her very adorable when she did that."Good morning." she smiled."Good morning wife, did you sleep well?""I slept very well and you?""I slept way better." He said
