Great Unicorn private

Serafina felt something stick into her leg and she cried out as she fell to the floor. "Run Umi, run. You have to go." She looked at her leg and saw a dagger.

Alia wondered through the castle back to the barracks, still rubbing her wrist. The guard sent to replace her had called her name several times before tapping her on the back, Alia nearly leaping off the battlement in fright. She was now on her way back to her room, although she felt too anxious to sleep. She had tried contacting King Eoron, but to no avail. And that scared her since he wasn't the type to ignore a call from his spies.

Umi gasped as she saw the shining eyes of the Drow. The little girl turned tail to run- straight into the arms of another Drow warrior.

"No! Let me go!" she squealed, her eyes wide, which resulted in a resounding slap from the guard.

"Shut up, brat!" he yelled as Umi began to cry silently, cupping her cheek in her small hand.

Eoron stood slowly as he faced the Drow again.

"I don't know who you think you are, Malak." he told him as he shook in cold fury. "But for whatever reason you're doing this... you had no right to involve my men!"

Malak laughed coldly.

"I think you'll find these men are no longer yours... nor is this your land." he said, sneeringly. "Take him away!"

The captain moved forward to take Eoron's arm but he shook him off.

"I can walk by myself." he said coldly. "Listen well, Malak. I know my men and my people better than you do... they would never serve a usurper willingly. You will pay for whatever you've done to them and their families."

"Yes, I'm sure." the Drow drawled tauntingly. "Enjoy plotting my demise from your dungeon cell."

Serafina glared at the Drow and with a wave of her hand sent him flying into the wall. Run Umi. She said to her silently. Serafina then tried to crawl away from the warriors. I'm sorry, I never meant to bring trouble to your kingdom. Serafina said. Her voice was full of sadness and pain.

As the Drow holding her flew into the wall, the little girl took off, her little shoes pattering against the cold stone floor. The Drow got up as another pulled the injured Serafina to her feet.

"What are you idiots doing!" the leader of the group growled as he approached Serafina. "After the brat or Malak will have our heads!"

As several Drow took off after the small fae, the leader turned to Serafina, rubbing the back of his head where it had hit the wall.

"You'll pay for that, girl." he spat, looking at his men. "Take her to Malak!"

Malak was still seated in the library, a satisfied smirk on his face. So far so good... it had been ridiculously easy to overpower the minds of the humans and get them to turn on their own king. He knew it would not be the case with the Fae. However, right now he was pleased with himself, as his plans were going rather well.

Eoron walked into the dungeon the captain of the guard lead him without saying a word. When the door was unlocked, the king walked in. The captain looked at his King's back.

"Sire... I-I really am sorry..."

Eoron turned to face him, his expression grim and his eyes sad.

"Yes... so am I."

The captain simply nodded miserably, then closed and locked the door. Eoron sighed, then was surprised to hear Serafina's thoughts in his head.

Serafina! Are you alright!? Eoron called out, sure she wouldn't hear him and sure no one would come to help them.

After all, her family had no way of knowing what had hap-! Widening his eyes, Eoron gripped the bloodstone in his hand.

Alia!

Serafina glared at the Drow and put up barriers between Umi and the other warriors. "You have me, so leave her be." She snapped. She hid the pain as it coursed through her. I....I'm alright, but they're after Umi.

Torren had a sinking feeling that something was terribly wrong.

Eoron paced around.

Dammit, Alia! Answer me! he yelled as he gripped the bloodstone.

He then frowned as he heard Serafina's words.

The girl will be alright. he told her.She knows the secret passages well, and the other bloodslaves won't let one of their own be hurt. Right now you're the one in danger. If Malak gets his hands on you... your father's kingdom will come to an end!

Dammit! ALIA!!!

Alia had been so deep in her own thoughts she hadn't heard her king calling for her until he practically screamed her name.

Y-yes, sire?

Finally. We have a situation. I want you to tell Prince Torren exactly as I tell you.

Alia hurried towards Prince Torren's chambers and quietly knocked on the door.

Well I can't really stop them from grabbing me. One of them got me in the leg with a iorn dagger. If you want I can get you out of the castle. Serafina said as she winced in pain. The iorn was burning her.

Torren opened the door and saw Alia. "What's happened? Alia, you look like you're about to pass out." He said as he led her to a chair.

Alia shook her head as Torren fussed around her and gently set her in a chair.

"Please Torren... you must listen to what I say..." she said, tears welling up in her eyes, her face stricken. "The Drow have overwhelmed Eoron's men... and have taken over his castle. The King is a prisoner in his own home... and your sister...!"

Tears ran down her face.

Eoron turned to Darling.

"Why are you helping me...?" he asked the unicorn. "I've been hunting you for my own selfish means... You should go to help Serafina!"

Serafina... you need to get yourself out! he said. Please! Don't worry about me... go home! I release you! Yu're no longer my prisoner...! Now go before you're the Drows'!

Torren frowned even more at Alia's words. "Alia, we have too tell my father."

Serafina glared at the Drows. I c-can't I'm in too m-much pain. You two have to l-leave. N-now. She said to Darling and Eoron.

Darling take Eoron to my father and stay there. Do Not come back for me. Serafina said as she glared at the Drows.

Darling don't argue with me. Just go and be careful. Serafina said.
