a tale of a lone warrior.

I nodded and softly wrapped my arms around u holding u close.

I leaned into him quietly.

I slowly rubbed ur side and sighed softly as I stared at the ceiling for awhile thinking quietly about how we would pull this off.

I sighed softly as I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I curled into his side more to stay warm because with him I was always too hot for a blanket.

I wrapped my arms slowly around u and held u tight as u slept and I slowly drifted for a few hours myself and watched u sleep when I couldn't sleep anymore.

In the morning I woke up as the sun hit my face through the window. I sighed knowing I had to get up and start the trip back with everyone.

We rode for a long time after I got the horses prepped and we got out of the city late in the afternoon I made the tents up so the ladies could sleep in private and I stayed up when they went to bed. I had made sure to have plenty of food and water for the trip.

I laid there quietly as I wondered what would come. Likely people have spread news to my father of my whereabouts. Or at least something, he isn't going to let this end well. I fell asleep thinking of what he might be planning.

I stayed by the campfire as I kept watch thinking of the next day.

My thoughts tainted my dreams as all I had known my father to do to traitors. As his daughter my punishment is some lashes and broken bones and chains. Then I sit on a balcony and watch as one by one my loved ones are brutally murdered before me. My mother was also gang raped as part of her punishment before being beaten to death. Of course my father would always save worst for last. Him. The one person he could take from ms that would truly change me and kill me. I didn't know that this was a dream so I felt the blanket tight around me which created the illusion of chains as he screamed his hatred at my father completely ignoring I was there watching and hurting myself to get to him. I started yelling his name to get his attention hoping he could get free and we can run away again.

I growled as I drew my swords and rushed into the tent seeing nothing wrong I went to u after I put my blades away and softly shook u to wake u up.

I felt him shaking me and woke up quickly after. Once I was fully awake I just clung to him as tears began to fall from my eyes.

I held u tightly and slowly rubbed ur back as I tried to calm u down.

I just held on tighter as I cried. After several long minutes I finally calmed down. I still didn't let him go though.

"U want to talk about it?" I asked softly.

"My father caught us, and he started with me. After he beat me he chained me to a chair and forced me to watch as he tortured everyone I care about. He had my mother raped and beaten in front of me, before he finally made it to you and I lost it watching you scream," I said.

I held u tighter and sighed softly scratching ur back "you already know I'm not gana let that happen I would die at the end of a battle protecting u before I would let then touch u and if I had to I would kill us both so u wouldn't have to suffer anymore from him. Besides its gana be over soon for him.

"It felt so real. And you didn't even see me, that's why I screamed for you, I thought you might have a chance, a better one, knowing I was watching," I replied.

I nodded "its a possible future is all that is. Dreams like that tend to act as guides as to what we must do. And find ways to either let it play out and c what happens or find a way around it like I plan to do by going in and killing him as soon as possible. And I will take a small band when we get back to do the job right then we just need to take the city and make sure its done right. So that we can make u queen." I said seriously.

I nodded, "well the human part of me says it was just a dream really that reflects my fears and emotions. Though knowing part of me is like you, I feel I have to believe as you do." I looked at him. "I'm sorry I just worry a lot."

I nodded and I pulled back just a little so I could look into ur eyes. "Don't worry about it I promise everything will work out as fate wills it but I promise u this I will kill ur father and get u on the throne and ur city on the right track

"Thank you," I said.

I nodded and held u close. "Anything for u waverly. And I mean that.

I rested my head on his shoulder.

I held u tight. "Would u feel better sleeping with me tonight?" I asked
