***YOUR P.O.V***

I sat on my throne, tapping my fingertips impatiently on the silver armrest.
My hand servent Milly held a platter of steak under my nose.

"You must eat," She whispered.

I pushed the platter away, "No thankyou, Mildred."
I was much too unsetteled to eat, let alone speak to anyone.

"Glob! Where are they?" I asked nervously.
"They were expected to be here at nine!" panick eased into my voice.

"Where are my hunters?"

Milly placed her gloved hand onto mine, which was still sitting on the arm rest.

"Calm yourself princess, the full moon hunting isn't to be over until midnight." I nodded, swallowing down my complaints.

"Yes,yes, patience is the key."
Sighing, I held my head in my hand, letting my (H/L) (H/C) fall into my eyes.
My worries never ceased.

Suddenly, a horrible stinch wafted into the throne room. It smelled horrible like...death.
I looked around, disgusted

" What is that putrid odor?!"

Milly must have smelled it too, because her nostrills flared.

"Oh, dear glob !" she gasped.

The castle doors burst open and two female hunters scrambled into the throne room, dragging a squirmming brown sack behind them. I instantly stood up, "WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!YOU HAD ME WORRIED SICK,DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAST HUNTERS THAT STAYED OUT TOO LATE?THEY WERE NEVER SEEN AGAIN!NO ONE COULD FIND THEM !DO YOU REALIZE THAT,THAT COULD.HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU!YOU SAID YOU'D BE BACK BY NINE-"

"Calm down princess, you know what screaming does to your health!"
I huffed and slumped back down in my seat, holding my fingertips to my temple stressfully.

"Alex and Andra''
I said their names slowly, holding back the anger. The young girls nodded.

"You are aware that you two are the youngest of all my hunters"
The girls nodded again, a tad frightened at my reaction.

''y-yes princess.'' Alex studdered, smileing nervously . She nodded to her sister, who stared down at the trashing sack on the floor as if it were poison.This made me worry even more. What exactly had they caught tonight?

'' You should have known not to stay out that late girls...it's just too dangerous."
My voice cracked a bit ,the stress was obviously getting to me .I just wanted to rest in my chambers for one night without worrying about my people.

Alex suddunly chirped up,'' That's exactly what we thought you would say."
Her eyes glistened and she once again stared at her sister, who looked even more worried.

Smirking, Alex grabbed hold of the bag,gripping the tip of its string.
She bowed playfully,
"Princess (Y/n) of the were wolve kingdom, I here by gift you with thy lovely catch of the night."
With a wink, she pulled the thrashing sacks string. The thing dropped all together, every sign of movement gone.

The horrible aroma of death hit the room like a stink bomb.
"Oh, dear Hecate!"
I breathed, sitting up in my seat, my hands gripping the arm rest like stress balls.

"Just what in globs name is that?"
Mildred asked,her voice had gone soft.
Alex grinned a mischievously proud grin, motioning for Andra to open the sack even wider.

"Here lies the undead!" She screamed with glee.
He arose from it before I could even close the bag.

I should have known from the moment I smelled him, the wretched smell of death, the sudden coldness of the air. It was no other than.
Mildred gasped, dropping her silver tray. It crashed onto the marble floor, sending echoes through the halls like a gong.
"V-vampire!"She whimpered.

I stood up, staring at his floating figure with ease, calmness, I wasent going to let him sense my fear.

"Immortal," I whispered

"That's right," He smirked.

His pale skin glew like a deadly omen, his ebony hair hung in his eyes.

"Y-you killed my hunters"

"Hmm?"

"You killed and devoured them!"
I drew my secret dagger from my hair,causing it to drop in thick (h/c) layers down my back.
The vampire laughed.

"You've got it all wrong, they attacked me, you didn't see me just crawl out of that body bag?"

"I ment the last ones!"

"I have no idea what your talking about."

"Your last words will be lies!"

I dove for him, dagger held high, aiming at his chest.
We tumbled for the ground, me ontop of him, holding my dagger above his never-beating heart.

"You....dreaded immortal infiltrate my kingdom, kill my best hunters, then dename my fathers throne by lying to my face!"
I cracked my blood thirsty crooked smile, one that my people rarley ever got to see.

"You will die in the name of the wolves."
The vampires red eyes flashed, his pale skin droped to an even paler tone.
His breath was cold

"I-Ive heard that before." He breathed

I leaned closer, inches from his face."How so?"

"The king said it,"His cold breath blew in my face, making me go stiff.

"You knew my father?"
The boy squirmed under my grasp, his skin grew icey.

"I didn't say that."

Before either of us could uter another word, the vampire was pulled from under me.

The guards had arived.
I arose slowly, watching them snatch him upright, holding them between their armored biceps.
One held a wooden stake to his throat

"Should we execute him princess?"

I stared into the vampires blood red eyes, at his quivering lips.
He used to know my father.

"No, let him be."

Their grip lessoned
I approached the shivering vampire, putting my dagger back in my hair.
I was so close, that I was breathing in his cold exhalation.

"You vampire will never return to the were wolf kingdom, neither the woods surrounding, or You will be executed.Are we clear?"
The Immortal nodded

I nodded to the guards,"Release him."

I watched him run past the guards, past the doors, and through the black gates.

"Never shall you return, Immortal."
I breathed, staring at his pale figure as it sped through the darkness of the forest.
I motioned for the gates to be closed, the gaurds stood at my side.

My breath had turned cold
