Leila ♕

     Leila’s heart sank. She felt for Naomi. Leila used to love Noah, too. And although the feelings were mostly gone, she still remembered. Sure, what Naomi did for her love was a little extreme, but she knew where Naomi was coming from.

     “I can’t help you.” Was all Leila said as she turned to go.

     “Come back tomorrow.” Her eyes were pleading and there was no way that Leila could deny her request. So she nodded and walked out of the cell with the guard hot on her heels.

     As Leila walked through the cells, the murmurs arose again.

     “Why was it that you needed me to leave?” Leila feigned worry, although deep down she hoped that something happened to delay the sleeping curse.

     “Well... some rebels have destroyed Queen Naomi’s sleeping enchantment bed. No doubt Zombies.”

     Leila wanted to be angry at the realization that Naomi’s sleeping curse would have to wait... but she wasn’t. She was happy. Naomi and Leila were once close friends, and even after what she did, Leila couldn’t help but still care about her well-being.

     “Um.. did you see them? Do you recognize their faces?”

     “No, sadly I didn’t get a look at their faces but you could tell that they were Zombies.” He sniffed. 

     “Oh,”

     As Leila and her Vampire gaurd arrive at where the ceremony was supposed to take place Leila could see a group od peiole gathered around the scattered pieces of glass.

     “Everyone out of the way, mind your own business!” Leila shoo’d.  “How could this happen? Castiel is a very powerful Warlock – there is no way that anybody could have broken this down so easily.” She rubbed  her temples in mock frustration.

     “It was most likely planned,” Castiel interrupts. “they were probably planning this for weeks. It’ll take me a few weeks to repair the damages, so until then, the ceremony is postponed.“

     “Finish as soon as possible.” Leila hurried Castiel as he inspected the once glass–sealed bed. He looked back at me and raises his brow, then turns back around with a chuckle.

     Both Castiel and Leila knew that Castiel finishing quickly was the last thing she wanted.

Lily ♕

     “I saw you eying her!” Lily shouted at a very confused looking Damian.

     “What? Eying who?” He crossed his arms across his chest. 

     “You know who! That skank in the tiny shorts!” Despite their situation, anyone who wasn’t a royal could wear whatever they please, even if it covered very little.

     “Well I’m sorry if I need a little eye–candy, Lily!” He flings his arms in the air. “You’re so determined to keep your virginity and a man has needs!” Lily slaped him the moment he finished his sentence, having to turn away to let his Dragon self breathe some fire.

     “What the hell isss wrong with you?” Lily hissed at him, not being able to control her tongue.

     Damian ignored Lily’s words, turning and leaving her alone in their shared bedroom.

Gabe ♔

     “What do you think we should name it?” He asked Ella, rubbing her swollen belly.

     Ella and Gabe had decided that no matter what anyone said, they were having the child.

     “Well if its a boy I was thinking... Stewart.” Gabe grimaced at the name and Ella stook  her tongue out.

     “Why not Stewart?”

     “It’s too... plain.” She shrugged. “How about Xander..?”

     “I like it,” She smiled and snuggled closer to him. “And if it’s a girl.. Emma.”

     “I like Emma.” He kissed her forehead as she drifted off to sleep.

     ‘This baby is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. No one, not even Leila will take him or her away from me. ’

Ira

     She roamed through the halls of the Wolf Kingdom, admiring the paintings on the wall.

     “Lovely, aren’t they?" A strange voice uttered from beside Ira.

     “Hello, I’m Aiden Walts, Merman. What’s your name?” He offered Ira his outstretched hand. Ira laughed at him, making the boy in front of her furrow his eyebrows. His hair was a dark brown, matching the color of his eyes.

     “Merman, seriously? That’s what we’re calling it now?”

     The boy broke into a slight smile. “You’re cute when you laugh, y’know that?”

     Ira blushed slightly, and that meant a lot. Not a lot of people could make Ira Hert blush.

     So she smiled and gave the boy her number.

Leila ♕

     Leila stood by and watched quietly as Ira flirted with a boy. He wasn’t a Werewolf, like Ira. He was a Merman. Leila wasn’t one hundred prevent sure, but in the movies there was always some unspoken – though obvious – rule about people only being with those of the same species.

     “Ira,” Leila snook up behind her.

     She jumped up in surprise, turning to look at Leila with wide eyes. “Yeah?” She asked.

     “I don’t think you should get involved with Aiden.” Leila frowned. She didn’t know how, as she had never met the boy in her life, but she knew his name.

     “How do you know his name? Were you spying on me?!” Her eyes turned a bit gold before returning to the Chestnut brown they usually are.

     “No,” Leila giggled. “I’m not spying on you. I’m actually my not sure how I know his name..”

     Ira rolled her eyes. “Your point is..?”

     Leila coughed awkwardly. “My point is, I don’t think different species are allowed to be together. Don’t get too attached to him. It’s for your own good.”

     “What about James and Castiel? They were allowed to be together!”

     Leila’s eyes were then transfixed on her shoes.

     “It’s because they’re Royals, isn’t it? James was turned because Castiel is a Royal! Well, too bad. I like him, and I don’t care what you think.” She growled, soon after shifting into a Wolf and running down the hall.

     “The Kingdoms are falling apart,” Leila expressed out loud.

     “Don’t worry, my Queen,” Sophia’s voice startled Leila. “nothing shall be impossible. Your kingdom reigns unstopabble.”
