The Third Person’s POV
The exchange doesn’t go unnoticed by everyone, but none dares to ask what just happened. The doctor coughs to get the attention of the room.
"Your Highnesses, she, uhm. Well, we got her heart going again, and she was with us for a brief moment, but then a dark green smoke surrounded the young princess and she... Well, she disappeared from the bed. The equipment just fell on the bed and floor. I.. I have never.." But Jax’s cursing and growling interrupts the poor doctor again, who is now trembling because of the auras in the room.
Not only are the Luna’s and Alpha’s pissed off, but the royal wrath is out of this realm, and Jax is a force all by himself. The latter lets out a loud roar and disappears in a clear, bright blue light. Leaving everyone but Abby, bewildered, angry and powerless.
"We will find her. Not matter when, where, who or what, we will find her!" Abby and Galaxy says in unison, making the statement and order to the gathered pack leaders. No one can go against such an order, for it is definite. Matt nods in agreement, locking eyes with his beta and gamma. They are all on the same page. Willow is to be found sooner rather than later.
Matt and Jason can feel how their mates are broken by the loss of their sister and friend. Their heart is aching by her absence, but none the less Abby straightens up, looking around her.
"Thank you, everyone. You have shown what real family means and helped us in our time of need. I request you stay here for e few days, as we all need to talk." She looks pointedly at Isadora and Daemon when saying this, and they both agree after a brief mind-link conversation.
- Meanwhile, where Willow is -
Willow slowly looks around the room, not recognising anything there. She swings her legs over the edge of the bed, pausing, listening for someone to come at telling her off, but everything is quiet. She put her feet on the ground below, expecting it to be cold as ice, but to her surprise it has a warmth to it. Not too warm, though. She senses something is different about this room. The aura in here is powerful, but familiar somehow.
She walks to a door in the dimly lit room, and it turns out to be a bathroom. Ah, finally something she knows what is. She turns on the light, which is also dim. Why is everything so.. Dark? Willow realises even the outside of the windows in the bathroom and the bedroom are darkened. Not pitch black, but darker. As if the sun cannot reach here properly.
She shrugs her shoulders and walks into the bathroom. When she is done with her business, she washes her hands but stops mid-wash, looking at her own reflection. What. The. Fuck? Willow leans closer to her image in the mirror, studying the girl looking back at her. She looks not only older, but younger at the same time. How in all the realm is that even possible? And her eyes? They are no longer their normal color, but ice blue with a trace of orange. Her magic has always had the color of orange. Maybe that is what that is, but how about the blue? She thinks back, and now that she actively remembers back to her childhood, Jax’s panther has always had ice-blue eyes with a trace of dark green. Is there a connection? She shakes her head, trying to not overthink it.
As she walks out of the bathroom, a handsome looking young man is waiting for her. He gives her a dazzling smile and a bow.
"Princess, it is an honor to make your acquaintance. My name is Jasper, and I am here to escort you to the Master or, as you would probably know him; the demon King." The man bows again and seems to await her reaction.
Willow remembers her manners and curtseys in the man’s direction. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Oh no, please Princess. Don’t do that. I am not someone to bow before. My brother, on the other hand. Jeeez. If you catch my drift." Jasper says with a laugh. Willow can’t help but smile at him and his charming manners.
"Uhm, okay then. Thank you, Jasper. If I could just get my clothes, then I’ll be ready in a few minutes, but I don’t know where I am at the moment. Sorry." She answers with an awkward smile. Jasper laughs and walks to a closet on the other side of the room, where women’s clothing is hanging and laying.
"Which ones would you prefer, Princess?" He asks gallantly. This is definitively a man of the court. Willow giggles at his antics.
"Some pants and a top. Uhm, maybe some clean underwear. And it’s just Willow, please." She says as she walks over to inspect all the clothes. She takes out a pair of regular jeans, a tank top and some underwear. Willow then walks back to the bathroom to change her dirty clothes.
"Okay, I’m ready." Willow announces as she walks back out. She stops mid-step. Jasper is not there anymore, but a gorgeous woman is. A scar on her left eye has left it white and blind, and she has a glow to her skin. Grey hair going to her mid-back makes her look kind of ethereal.
"Hello." Willow says with a small hand wave.
The woman looks Willow up and down before curtsying.
"So, this is the little pretty Princess, huh?" She asks in a not exactly friendly voice. Willow only nods, not sure what to make of the newcomer.
"Hm, so position and birthright clearly aren’t everything. Well, I have replaced Jasper in taking you to the King. If you would follow me. You can follow instructions, right?"
Willow nods again. Not able to comprehend someone can be so nasty in the first thirty seconds of meeting one.
The woman turns around in the door.
