(Lou's POV)

I wake up to the sun's rays in my face. I squat and look to my left to see Hannah still sleeping. She looks so cute when she's asleep. I can't be falling for her, can't I? This can't be serious. I'm here on a mission, to bring the princess to the queen but here I am, slowly falling in love. Ughhh. I'm so gullible.

"Lou? Lou? Hey Lou?" A fairy with short hair in a pixie cut saying snapping her hands. I jumped surprised. I look at her.

"Oh, It's just you Anica. You scared the hell out of me. What do you want?" I say to her.

"Oh, I just wanted to ask what you wanted to eat for breakfast." She says smiling.

"Oh, we would just like Bacon and Eggs. Please." I tell her smiling.

"Okay! It will be ready in about 10 minutes." She smiles back at me and turned on the corner, going out of my sight.

I look at Hannah, she was still sleeping facing me lying on her right side. I tap her to wake up. She then rolled to the other side.

"5 more minutes!" She shouted as she snored.

"Okay" I say smiling. I can't be smiling at my prisoner, can I? Ughhh I can't control my self. She's too cute and too precious for this world.

-----------------------------

About 10 minutes have past already and a table appeared between me and the princess with a vase and fresh flowers. I go over to the princess's side and wake her up.

"Princess, breakfast is being served." I say to her taping her side. She then rolls, stretching her arms and legs then opens her eyes.

"Good Morning Lou." She says smiling at me.

"Good morning too, Princess." I say to her as I go back to my side. She gets up and squats and faces me.

"So what's for breakfast?" She says while rubbing her eyes.

"Bacon and eggs. Well speaking of breakfast, here it is." I say as Mikaela the chef assigned for breakfast approached us with plates floating beside her. She stops and the plates floated in front of us.

"Thank you" Hannah said to the fairy. Then she faced me.

"Bon Appétit" Hannah said smiling to me. Then she ate her food.

I ate my food, there was silence. She had finished eating as well as me. Then I lay down facing the sky. Hannah did the same and the table disappeared.

"I'm so full. Let's just move later" She said facing the me then she faced the sky.

"Okay" I agreed since my stomach was so full.

I agreed to stay since we were already near the Dark Kingdom. There were two ways to the Dark Kingdom though. One path was very long and it will take us a day and a half to trek through it. The other was through a war zone between the Vampires and Werewolves and it will only take an hour to trek there. They said anyone who went there, did not leave alive. But it was our only choice since I had to deliver the princess to the queen before sundown. After the thought I closed my eyes.

-----------------------------

I wake up to a shouting voice. It was already noon.

"LOU! LOU! THEY ARE COMING NEAR YOU NEED TO GO ALREADY!" Nina shouted to me.

"Whose coming?" Hannah asked rubbing her eyes.

"The Man eating monkeys. You need to go already!" Nina said to Hannah.

But I knew it was the knights searching for the princess. I grabbed Hannah's Arm running towards the intersection of the 2 paths.

"Where are we gonna go?" Hannah said as she was catching her breath.

"Here, follow me" I said to her still holding on her arms  running forward.

I look at the back to see the entrance to the path blocked by a fallen tree, branches and vines. We stop for awhile.

"The entrance is blocked!" She says panting. "And It's so dark in here!" She added.

"Don't worry, there's just a light up ahead, we should be out here in no time." I say to her.

It was very dark in this part of the forest. I look above to see many layers of branches covering the sun rays from reaching the ground. Trees in this part of the forest had very dark bark. Then we see eyes appearing in the bushes. I stood in front of Hannah.

"Who are you?" I shouted.

-----------------------------
(John's POV)

We approached a part of the forest where the sun's rays was entering the brightest with the rays hitting the lake surrounded by trees with doors at them.

"We're at the Fairy Village. Stay at your Guard." Zane said. We stepped forward then a fairy appeared in front of Zane.

"Hello there!" The fairy said smiling looking at us.

"Where did the princess go?" Zane said, he kept his face straight with a menacing touch to it.

"I didn't see any princess come here." The fairy said smiling as a sweat dropped from her face.

I walk forward taking out my sword and pointed it at the fairy.

"Let me ask you again, where did the princess go?" I say to her with an angry face.

"They went there" She said pointing to a path. "Please don't kill me."

"Are you telling the truth." Zane said to the Fairy.

The fairy just nodded. We immediately went towards the path. The path was just like the other parts of the forest. There was little amount of sun that went pass through the canopy. The trees had a brown bark with vines hanging from the branches. I look at Zane. He looks at me.

"This path is gonna take us 1 day and a half, we should run to catch up to the princess and her companion." Zane said looking to me, then looking back to the group. I can see their tired eyes and some even rolling their eyes.

"You heard him! We should run to catch up to the princess." I say as I looked at them with a deathly gaze. "Any problems?"

"No sir!" They answered unanimously with their faces looking scared.

"That's what I thought." I say to them rolling my eyes as I began to run.

They followed me and Zane as we ran. I hope we catch them in time.
