Shit.

I remembered the boulder that I had scraped my knee on. If I could somehow pick it up and break the fence open with it, I could lead him upstairs and figure the rest out before the sunsets.

"Wait," I said out loud and began to trace my steps," I'm coming back, j-just wait!"

I struggled to operate my limbs properly and the task to both run and breath at the same time became suddenly impossible.

I ran back the way that I came but couldn't locate the rock. I kicked my legs into areas that had no light hoping my skin would make contact with it but it didn't. I turned the corner into a lightly dim hallway that I must have missed before and wondered where it led to. I decided to take my chances and ran down the new corridor, hoping that if there was at least one boulder that there might be another.

The further down the hall I ran the more I heard noises and seconds later distinguished them as voices.

Two voices, arguing about something. I felt the blood in my system freeze cold and came to a halt when I recognized one voice as Isabelle's.

"You stupid idiot!" she snapped, her voice low and angry," I told you to go with them! You shouldn't have let him go alone, you should have been there to kill that villager and show the King that only you could finish the job."

I took a few steps forward and hid my body behind the curve of the hall. I could see her long black hair somehow still glowed even in the dark and her snow-white legs went on for days. She wore a black mini skirt with a matching crop top that showed off her slender perfectly shaped torso.

"Do you really think it matters?" A male voice snapped back," Father would never let him be king now, not after I told him about how he rescued the jester."

"He's going to make him kill the jester," she snapped back," but he's not going to take away the throne."

"I will find a way to make him, just like I did with Xavier," I finally recognized the voice as Seth's.

"Xavier mated with a witch, he was de-crowned by default," Isabelle let out an angry sigh," Damon has potential. Sparing the life of a human inst going to get him thrown off as King."

"You have to get closer to him, find a weakness that I can use."

"I cannot keep playing as his sad forbidden love anymore Seth!" Isabelle sounded like she's on the verge of tears," but I need to be Queen."
