"What is going on?" I asked,  and everyone turned around to look at me.

Jin squatted down so that I could jump off of his back easily. Although I had regained energy,  I still felt slightly heavy and tired. I held onto Jin's arm for support and moved forward to the desk. Namjoon watched me and instantly moved away from the chair, for me to sit down.

"Why are you in your pyjamas being carried around by Jin?" my mother asked,  looking very confused. Everyone else stared at me confused too.

"That doesn't matter,  what does matter is that you are all sneaking around whilst I've been sleeping. But not today,  so I suggest you tell me what the hell is going on" I replied, becoming irritated by the fact I had no idea of this while everyone else did. Even Jimin was here.

"We aren't doing anything bad" Taehyung said innocently, as I moved to the chair and sat down,  looking at all the maps laid out across the table.

"I didn't say you were,  I was asking what you were doing" I said and rolled my eyes. Leaning back in my chair to watch them.

"You need to get you to the castle as soon as possible" George said and everyone looked at me. They all looked serious and concerned.

"Why? I'm fine here" I defended myself. This seemed all so sudden, and there was no reason.

"It's not safe for you here,  you're too close to Quarter Moon. The castle is further away" Taehyung said and smiled slightly. I didn't know how far away the Castle was,  I'd never been there. Well,  not since I was born anyway.

"Didn't you think asking me about this would be a good idea?" I asked, I was annoyed by the planning of something that clearly involved me,  without my consent.

"You need to go" I heard a woman say,  I recognised the voice,  but I couldn't put a name of face to it. Myself and everyone else in the room looked in the direction of the voice,  but saw no one. We continued to look confusingly,  until the woman moved out of the shadows,  revealing herself.

"Elizabeth?"
"Mum" My mother and Namjoon spoke at the same time as they looked over to the woman standing in front of them. Her and my mum exchanged stares before rushing up to eachother and embracing.

I looked at Namjoon,  who was looking at me,  equally confused at our mother's interactions. Taehyung looked over to us,  even more confused. I shrugged at him,  signalling to him I had no idea what was happening in front of us.

"You two know eachother?" Namjoon asked,  standing next to my chair. The two broke away from the embrace and turned back round towards us.

"We grew up together" my mother responded brightly,  but then her smile disappeared slightly.

"Wait you're Namjoons mother? I thought you were dead?" Jungkook suddenly said and looked at her intensely, trying to figure her out.

"So did I... Until recently" Namjoon commented, and looked from Jungkook,  back to his mother.

"I was told you were dead too" my mother replied,  causing Elizabeth to turn around to look at my mother. Her eyes softened as she looked.

"I had to fake my own death to get away,  I couldn't stay once I found out what they were going to do to the Queen" She explained to my mother,  who looked hurt as she spoke.

"Why have you come back?" George suddenly inspected, he didn't seem as friendly towards her.

"My son has separated from Quarter Moon and has bonded with the princess, I can't just watch in the shadows any longer" She replied,  moving her attention towards me and Namjoon.

"What do you mean by 'you need to go'? " I asked,  I stood up and held onto Namjoon. He looked down at me confused,  I don't blame him.

"I'll explain in a minute"  I whispered quietly to him so that he would stop looking at me that way.

"They're right, it's not safe here for you. You're too close to Quarter Moon here. Also,  you are growing,  your powers are growing and no one knows how strong they are going to be" She explained,  she looked serious,  worried even about what I could be able to do. I had a feeling she knew what had recently happened with Jin and that was why she had returned.

"You wouldn't be alone if you went to the castle,  we'd all be coming with you of course" Namjoon said reassuringly to me and pulled me into his side. I smiled up at him,  I wouldn't be so bothered if they all came with me, I mean I'd spent all my life with most of them,  so to suddenly be separated would really mess me up.

"I'll come too, You're going to need my help" Elizabeth spoke, my mother looked at her and looked at me and nodded,  signalling to me that she was right.

"If that is what you think we need to do,  then fine. But when would we be leaving?" I asked, I didn't see any point in objecting to what they were suggesting,  because honestly they were right. I didn't know when Quarter Moon were going to attack,  and I didn't know how.

"As soon as we can,  the faster we get there during the day,  the easier it will be for us." Taehyung interrupted,  he smiled sincerely at me.

"Does that mean today we will be leaving?" I asked,  I dreaded hearing the answer,  although I felt I already knew. Crescent Moon had always been my home,  always will be my home.

"Hopefully" my mother said,  she smiled sadly at me. She'd been here just as long as me. She'd watched me and Taehyung grow up here together.

"Before anyone starts packing away,  I need to take Alexa with me" Elizabeth butted in. Everyone turned to look at her confusingly.

"Why?" I asked suspiciously, don't get me wrong,  I know last time I met her I mentioned that it was clear she hadn't been around people alot. But I still stood by that.

"After that trick you pulled back there,  you might want to come with me" she commented and raised an eyebrow at me. My eyes widened as she spoke,  I guess I had forgotten she was a witch.

"How do you know about what happened?" Jin asked defensively,  everyone looked between me and Elizabeth,  questioning what she was talking about.

"I'm a witch,  of course I know what happened. Anyway,  considering she's the princess,  it's expected for these things to happen" she replied. Out of context,  this looked really bad on us. It sounds like something inappropriate happened between me and Jin.

"Alexa?" Namjoon asked concerningly,  Yoongi and J-hope had a grin across their faces,  clearly finding this whole situation somewhat amusing.

"It's not what it sounds like" Jin reassured Namjoon and I rolled my eyes.

"Jin broke his leg this morning and it turns out I can fix it" I stated and looked at Namjoon who nodded and let out a small chuckle as he realised that it wasn't as serious as he thought.

"One more thing to add to the growing list of things you can do" Namjoon commented and pulled me in closely too him once again and kiss the side of my head.

"Another thing? What else can you already do?" My mother suddenly asked. I'd forgotten that I hadn't told her,  or Taehyung at the least. To be fair,  recently a lot of things have been slipping my mind about telling them too since everyone knows about me now.

"She has a protection barrier that she can bring out when she's in danger or is trying to protect someone else. I saw her do it just before we met" Elizabeth explained,  she looked slightly amused at how confused she was that everyone else was fairly oblivious to it all.

"I hadn't got around to telling you yet,  I've been so busy" I explained,  hoping that Taehyung and mum weren't hurt by me not telling them.

"It's fine,  as long as your fine" My mother smiled at me,  she was always understanding of me. I smiled back to her. Taehyung on the other hand still looked hurt.

"Tae" I said quietly and looked towards him. He looked down at the ground,  you could see his tongue poke out his cheek. A trait that he'd always had that he did when he was jealous or annoyed.

"You always tell me things, ever since I can remember. Even things like when you'd stolen about seven forbidden books from the library,  which you knew you'd get into serious trouble and I didn't tell anyone,  or judge you for it. But now you don't even tell me anything,  atleast it doesn't seem like it" he said sadly,  my heart sank as he spoke and looked at me.

He'd always had a jealous streak in him,  especially when it came to me. When we were younger and I'd become close with the boys,  he found it hard to deal with me being as close to them as I was to him. I think it was always because he felt he had to be the one to look after me,  and be like my best friend at the same time, since he knew about me when know one else did.

"Tae,  please don't be like that. You know that's not the case" I pleaded to him. He just looked irritated at me,  rolling his eyes and walking away from me. My first instinct was to go after him

"Don't,  I'll go see him. I think you are needed here" Namjoon grabbed my arm to stop me from moving and whispered to me. I looked down and nodded slightly.

"I'll see you in a bit,  good luck with my mum" he said quietly,  before planting a light kiss on my head. He began to follow after Tae as we all watched.

"What was that all about?" Jimin asked,  astounded by what he had just witnessed. To be fair, me and Tae never had any form of arguments, especially in front of others,  so this was quite a strange sight. I shook my head at him,  signalling that even I didn't really know why he was acting so strongly about it.

"We need to go now" Elizabeth said,  he eyebrows were raised. I had a feeling this was more than just what I could do. I just nodded to her and followed her out of the room.

After walking for a while in pretty much silence,  we finally reached back to her home. You'd think her being a witch meant that we would magically teleport here,  but no. It didn't help that I could run there since I wasn't entirely clear on the route. Also,  that she wasn't a vampire and therefore couldn't run at the same speed as me.

"What is this actually about?" I asked, moving closer to her house. She didn't reply to me,  or acknowledge my existence in general. Instead she walked straight into her home and closed the door.

I stood outside of her door and waited, it was still fairly early into the night. Although I'd imagine a lot of vampires were up and awake by this point. I couldn't help but worry about Taehyung,  and wonder what he was doing. I still felt bad that I hadn't told him yet,  but I'd been so caught up with everything I hadn't had the time to.

I moved out of the way as I felt the door opening beside me. I watched as Elizabeth walked out of the house with a large orchid. The orchid had a light purple tinge to it,  it was large and was at its prime,  with all the buds blooming. She placed the plant in its pot down onto the hard floor and stood back staring at it.

I admired the beauty of the flower,  how elegant it looked. You could see that it had been looked after well,  and was taken care of,  in hope for it go grow well.

"Kill it" Elizabeth suddenly said and stood back next to me and stared at me. I was taken a back by what she said. I'd only just been looking at it and admiring it.

"What? Why would I kill it?" I retaliated,  still astounded by what she was suddenly asking.

"Because I'm telling you to" she replied and looked at me seriously.

"Do you want me to snap it in half or something? Because I don't really understand why you are asking me this" I questioned and looked confusingly at her. She laughed lightly and shook her head.

"Touch it" she said and flicked her head in the direction of the flower. I pulled my eyebrows together,  but walked over to it and squatted down onto the floor in front of it. I touched it,  expecting to feel something. But I didn't.

"You have to want to kill it" she said and raised her eyebrow at me.

"And why would I want to kill it?" I asked her. Why would I? The flower hadn't done anything to me,  and I didn't feel any need to harm it.

"Of course you don't" she said and walked over to me and moved down to the floor,  crossing her legs next to me.

"Alright,  close your eyes. You need to follow what I say,  I don't know if this will work or not for you" she said. I was going to ask what she was trying to figure out,  but I decided against it and closed my eyes like she said.

"I want you to imagine that the flower is apart of quarter moon,  someone that helped to kill your real mother that night 180 years ago. Someone who attacked your home at Crescent Moon,  killed people you knew. Someone who was there when you got taken to there home,  away from your home and hurt you" as she spoke,  the thoughts of it all,  the memories if brought back,  only boiling up more rage,  anger and hurt inside of me. As a tear dropped down my cheek,  I felt a feeling of energy flow through my hands and into me. The energy compensated for the energy I lost when I healed Jin.

"Oh my God... You actually did it" I heard Elizabeth gasp next to me. I opened my eyes and looked ate her,  she looked in shock as she looked in the direction of the flower. I followed her gazed and looked at the dead,  wilted flower before me. I couldn't help but feel sad and guilty for it,  it wasn't the flower that had actually done it.

"I can bring it back,  right?" I asked and looked at her. I didn't want to just leave it dead,  not after how beautiful it looked before, and how much it didn't deserve this.

"Not even witches can bring things back from the dead" she commented,  looking at me slightly sad. She stood up from her seated position and looked down at me as I continued to look at the flower.

"But I can heal,  surely that must help?" I asked,  I probably sounded naive,  but I thought that it might help for something.

"I wish it was that simple,  but healing and giving life to something is very different" she said and smiled sympathetically at me. It made sense to be fair,  I mean if witches couldn't do it, I have no chance.

"Come on,  I'll make you a drink" Elizabeth said and walked back into her home. I glanced at the wilted flower for a moment,  before standing back up from the squatted position I was in.

As I began to walk back into her house, something stopped me from moving. My stomach began to fall and my heart sunk all of a sudden,  alongside a feeling of danger and worry.

"Something's not right" I shouted.
