Note: The italic parts are of when Connor walks through his dreams.

Connor grips the paper in his hand before he stops at the middle of the forest, he lets go of the paper as he looks around the area. As from the direction given to him by Jade, he was supposed to be at the exact place he was but he sees nothing but trees.

With a sigh, he stares at the paper crumbled on the ground, shaking his head he goes back to pick it up but stops as a strange feeling occurs inside of him and the hair at the back of his head stands.

Turning at once he tries to figure out what it was but finds nothing and no one, he once again feels the same weird feeling as if someone trying to get into him. Creating some distance, he keeps looking around and moving as now he does not feel one but many attempts of someone trying something with him.

"Show yourself" he commands at once and suddenly the feelings goes away before he hears someone curse.

"Aish!" a girl appears before few more woman joins her.

"My little flutter, you are not strong enough to get through him" a woman chides the girl before she turns herself around to face Connor.

"You must be the Lord, Jade mentioned about" the woman states and Connor nod his head once, in reply.

"I am Reese, the head of my clan. Welcome to our clan" she states and Connor looks behind the woman as the invisible cloak goes down revealing the gates that opens up and more women peeks through it.

"Connor, you can call me Connor" Connor mumbles as the woman nod before asking him to follow.

********

"I hope you do not mind that we are all females here" Reese points and Connor eyes around to find the women gathered to stare back at him.

"None of them are of harm as long as you are not to us. Jade put very strong, good words about you and I hope to see you turn out to be exactly as she describes"

"Any specific rules I need to follow while I am here?" he asks and Reese looks around her clan.

"This is Lord Connor; he is a very special guest and a very dear friend of our Jade. He will be staying with us for as long as he needs to, the only rule we all have to follow while he is with us is...

No harm to be done or to be brought by him to us, by us to him. Understood!" Reese asks and the women murmurs with each other.

"Am I Crystal clear!" she raises her voice.

"Connor!" someone shouts from the crowd and Connor frowns before he eyes the girl who had made a big fuss when they met outside of the gates.

"You need to show me you are worthy of being given the title of Lord before I call him as such. Only the man worthy for our Queen shall be called as the Lord...

Our Queen deserves..."

"Silence!" Reese thunders at the little girl who was shouting at Connor.

"I think I just over stayed" Connor mumbles from beside Reese who turns to face the man.

"We are witches, no one trusts us easily and we too do not trust anyone and off all a vampire at that. For Jade to ask us for help, we need to know where our help is being used and so does my clan"

"Was is necessary?" he asks as he points towards her clan.

"We are sisters not by blood but by bond, hardships and trust. It can only be gained when one respects and hides no truth, what I know will always be shared to my clan. It's a must, for us to give you a shelter we all need to be aware what we are inviting it" Reese explains and he sighs.

"I know whom I am not sharing any of my secrets too" he sighs making Reese chuckle.

"Someone will guide you to your room" Reese points before she asks one of the women and Connor nods before he walks past Reese to his room.

********

Connor sighs as he lies down on the bed once he is shown to his room, putting his arm over his eyes he tries to stay calm. But the sound of something hitting on the window makes him turn around before he moves towards it to find the girl shouting at him standing out.

"Out" she mouths making him frown and when he does not do as she asks, she glares at him.

"Out" she tells him once again and just to make her leave he walks out of his room to find the girl waiting on him.

"Your food, suck it vampire" the girl orders as she throws a dead rabbit near Connor's leg. He stares from the dead rabbit to the girl.

Slowly raising a brow at the girl, he keeps staring while she narrows her eyes at him.

"I said suck it" she orders but he ignores her before he turns to get back to his room which angers her as she picks up a stone to hit him but before the stone even touch him it turns into dust.

"Lisa" Reese shouts as she hurries to the girl's side but she narrows her eyes at Connor before turning and running away while Reese shakes her head as her eyes land on the dead rabbit.

"I am so sorry, the girl"

"She will have to get used to me, it's okay" he assures before he walks back in his room and Reese sighs as she looks around to catch the girl.

********

Connor gasps as he jerks up from his sleep and looks around the room, trying to gain his focus. He takes a deep calm breath before staring at his hands that were shaking a bit. He rubs his face with his hands as he tries to forget what he just dreamt of.

"It felt so real" he whispers in the dark room, as he was sure it was a wolf he saw in his dream, a very angry wolf who wanted to tear him apart.

Connor stiffens as he senses someone inside of his room, so at once he taps the light on to find the little girl who had thrown the dead rabbit in his doorsteps staring back at him with her eyes wide open.

"Hi" the girl breathes as their eyes meet so Connor stands up from his bed.

"Don't come near me" the girl orders but he just walks close to her and grabs her arm dragging her away from the corner.

"What are you up to?" he asks the girl who pouts, irritated at being caught.

"Nothing, I was just passing by"

"Through my room?" he asks amused.

"Well, your room was in the way so..."

"Where were you headed to?" he asks playing along and the girl's eyes widens.

"To the oracle, I meting up with everyone there" she mumbles and he smiles as he ruffles her hair and the girl's eyes widens while she stands still staring at him.

"Let's go to the oracle then" he states before stepping away from her as he goes to grab his coat.

Much to both of their surprise, Lisa finds herself walking beside the man and for some unknown reason she stares at his hand before she holds it and Connor does not say anything as he walks to where she takes him.

"Wait and watch from here" Lisa states as she lets go of his hand before turning to face him.

"What's this oracle?" he asks when he finds few of the women gathered around.

"You will see" Lisa smiles and Connor nods his head.

"I brought you here so don't tell Reese that I sneaked in your room" she points and Connor chuckles.

"I would not have told even if you did not bring me here" he states and the girl stares at the man for a moment before she takes a deep breath.

"Cool" she nods before she turns and runs away while Connor nods at the few of the women staring and giggling his way.

*******

Connor sits at one of the branches of the trees as he watches the witches gathered around the fire, he stares at the little girl who brought him there and smiles as she reminds him of his own little sister, always with so much energy and bossiness.

He feels fascinated as few swirls of fire starts to gleam out of the fire little by little and he sits straight before he hears chants, a musical one before the witches starts to move around the fire and everything that happens looks surreal to Connor as he has not seen something so beautiful to watch.

A pain shot through Connor's head as if someone hit him with full force making him grab onto the tree to stay still, getting down from the tree, he takes a deep breath, staring back at the fire swirling a memory flashes through his mind, a memory that was not his.

Stumbling back to his room, Connor grips his bed as he gets on it, the pain in his head is unbearable. He feels agitated and restless so closing in eyes he tries to stay calm only for him to fall back into a deep sleep.

"Hurry up" someone shouts from behind Connor, so he turns around at once only for him to gasps in shock as the man behind him comes running but to his surprise the man walks past right through him.

Staring at his hands, Connor frowns wondering what was going and where he was.

"Let go of me" someone growls and Connor stares as the man is being dragged so following the man, he ends up walking into a room.

"Finally, you are here" a man states standing at the podium staring at Connor, who frowns as he has never seen the man before.

"Tie him up" the man orders and Connor gasps as once again people walk past through him.

"Let me go" the man tied up shouts at the man on the podium.

"We will soon, wait for your turn" the man on the podium states.

"The Priest has arrived" someone announces and Connor turns around to stare at the doorway before a man wearing all white in a gown, covered from head to toe walks in and everyone around the room gets down on their knees.

"Priest" they all greets and Connor frowns as he watches the man walk towards the podium himself before he signals for everyone to rise up.

"The preparation is almost complete; we have caught him before he crossed the border" one of the man states and the man called Priest turns his head towards the man tied up.

"This has nothing to do with me, so let me go" the man growls before the priest whispers something to the man standing beside him and Connor watches horrified as he pulls out a sword and guts the man tied who gurgles with blood.

"Priest" a man shouts as he walks inside of the room and this time even the Priest gets down on his knees.

"Your highness"

"Rise" the man orders as his eyes past right through Connor to the man tied but this time dead.

"Was he the last one?" the King asks.

"Yes, your highness" the Priest states.

"This is third time one of your men have tried to betray you, Priest, are you getting old for your duties?" the King asks and The Priest stands on his foot.

"My apologies, your highness. It seems my men have started to take their duties lightly"

"Whatever, no more bloodshed in the palace, I want the echoes of my child cries tremble walls of this palace not agony of the men you cannot put under your control...

My Queen is soon going to deliver the future of this kingdom, I hope you have started the preparation"

"Of course, your highness, everything is in place. I was just waiting for your order"

"Fine, we shall start the ritual tonight, prepare it. I want nothing but best among us, better and far stronger than what I have" the King orders before he turns and leaves the room.

Everyone stands still as the King walks out, after a moment Connor feels the Priest move before the head of the man tied down is snaped and pulled off his body by the priest.

"Priest" one of his follower gasps.

"Find it" The Priest shouts.

"Yes...yes Priest" the man stutters before few of them hurry out of the room, tensed and Connor stares at the blood flowing on the ground and all over the man but a bright light makes Connor cover his eyes as a portal is opened and the body of the dead man disappears along with all of the traces and blood, cleaning not just the floor but the clothes of the Priest.

"Prepare for the ritual"

"Of course,"

"Not enough, never enough! Tonight, we are going to create a moment of history, I do not want anything going wrong" he states before the man brings out a bottle that glows.

"The wolf spirit as you asked" the man informs and the Priest grabs it.

"I know what this is, I have been waiting for centuries for this night"

"We have yet to find the fairy, Priest"

"Before the ritual completes, I need that fairy spirit, find it at any cost, we will never get another shot. The King must never know" the Priest whispers as he stares at the glowing spirit of the wolf.

********

Connor finds himself in another room, he frowns when he finds many people around, he looks around confused not understanding what was on going.

"The Priest is here" the announcement is done before the door opens and in walks the priest and Connor eyes moves towards the gleaming spirit locked in the bottle.

"Leave" he orders to the people in the room and Connor frowns as they leave a woman heavily pregnant alone with the Priest.

"My Queen" the Priest bows his head.

"How long with the ritual last?"

"Just few moments, I am here to assure you that everything will be just fine. You need to just relax while we will do the ritual. Let me assure you, I have been doing these rituals for centuries to each and every heir crowned to be the King"

"Okay, just hurry it up. I do not feel so good, but his highness says this is a must"

"Of course, for the greater cause, for a stronger kingdom" the priest states and the woman sighs.

"The child must be due until new few weeks"

"The delivery will be safe, when you will hold the child in your arms you will forget all these pain" the Priest assures and the woman sighs before the Priest leaves and Connor follows the man.

"She is too weak" the Priest mumbles to his man.

"Will she be able to pull it through?"

"Once the spirits are shifted to the child, it will make her a bit stronger but I worry she may not be able to make it through it all"

"Shall we inform the King about this?" the man suggests.

"And have him breathing behind my neck? No, no need to inform the King, it won't matter if she dies on the process as long as the child is born"

"We have yet to find the fairy" the man points and the Priest sighs.

"We don't have much time in our hand, find that bastard" the Priest asks as they go to walk but stops and turns at once and Connor holds his breath as the Priest's gleaming eyes pierces through Connor.

"What are you doing here?" the priest asks and Connor goes to open his mouth only to stop as something passes by him.

"I though I would come to help" a woman grins and Connor frowns as he watches the woman flying around the priest.

"I have told you time and again to not show yourself" the priest hisses before he hurries to walk away and the ghostly woman follows him.

"Oh, come on Priest, just hear me out"

"No" the man refuses.

"I can be of help"

"The only help you are is by being dead"

"Oh, come on, you starting the story how I have been haunting and putting a curse to the Royal family as the unwanted witch is not enough?"

"Do no try to outsmart me"

"Come on, the Queen of the palace is going to die anyways, so make me one, help me get in her body" the witch offers and the Priest shuts the door behind him loudly.

"Do not speak about it" the man warns and the witch laughs aloud.

"What? Scared someone will hear me and you will be exposed?" the woman teases before she cries in pain.

"Just because you are in spirit form does not mean I cannot hurt you, so watch your waggling tongue"

"I just want to get a body" the witch screams.

"Then find me that fairy" the Priest asks and the witch glares at the man.

"Greed, easiest way for destruction" she hisses before she jumps away from the Priest's touch.

"You find me that fairy and what he stole and I will help you get inside of the Queen's body right before she takes her last breath" the Priest puts out for her.

"But how will you explain the King about the fairy's spirit being inside of his child?"

"There are things you do not need to know" he grins and the witch narrows her eyes before she disappears.

"She is right, how will you explain the fairy's spirit?" one of the Priest's man asks and the Priest stays silent as he grips the bottle in his hand.

*******

"Hold him" Connor watches as they bring a man in all bloodied and beaten.

"He was going to cross through one of the portals" one of the man states and Connor watches as the Priest walks in the room before he grips the man's head and jerks it up.

"Good job" he states and the witch comes flying to float beside the Priest.

"I found him for you now your turn to fulfill your promise" the witch whispers as she once again disappears.

"Leave" the Priest asks and all of the men leaves him along with the beaten man.

"You thought you could run away?" the Priest asks before he tore the front of the man shirt and pulls out the glowing bottle.

"This is wrong" the man coughs and the Priest laughs.

"Wrong? What exactly is a right way?" the Priest asks.

"Stealing a spirit and..." the man breathes harshly trying to catch his breath but the Priest ignores him as he ties the bottle on his waist.

"She will be well taken care of" the priest point but the man shakes his head.

"This will not stay quiet, fairies are to not be resided between your kinds, this will never be acceptable by your kinds" the man warns and the priest walks closer before he grips onto the man's head and jerks it up.

"The we will make my kind believe, just like you will come to believe it" the priest states before Connor covers his ears as the painful cries echo through the room from the man.

Connor steps back as the Priest lets the man go and he falls down on the ground with his eyes wide open but still alive.

"Bring me the King" The Priest asks as he turns around.

*******

"Here drink this" the Priest states as he passes a drink to the King.

"What's the occasion?" the King asks.

"There is something I need to show you" the priest states before he pulls out the bottles out of his waist.

"What is it?"

"Spirits"

"Ah, don't show them to me now. I would like my child to have it, grow stronger" the King states.

"Yes, but there is more" the man states making the King frown.

"More?"

"Yes, it's just not another spirit but the spirit of a fairy" the Priest states and the King stands up at once.

"My child will not have something like that" he refuses.

"But my Highness, it's a rare breed, you family has been ruling the vampires and wolves for centuries, don't you think we need to spread our territory"

"No, how will this be explained?"

"Just like everything has always been" the priest smiles.

"Another tale full of lies?"

"We just want a stronger generation; a Queen mating more than one man is not unheard of"

"Absurd! There will be talks that..."

"Talks behind closed doors and hands will never effect the Royals, we are known to be surrounded by it" he points and the king narrows his eyes.

"Filth such as you calling yourself a Royal? No, we never we, just I" the king reminds.

"My apologies your highness, I got carried away"

"Know your boundaries" the King warns and the Priest nods his head.

"No, I refuse this. My mate has already gone through much. I cannot let my child be a victim to all these lies for rest of her life. The wolf spirit will be more than enough for now, she will have a vampire blood running, we just need a wolf spirit" the King states.

"Very well then" the priest nods before he turns to leave but King stops him.

"Leave the fairy spirit here" he asks and the Priest hesitates before leaving it.

********

"What now?" one of the followers asks.

"I should have made him believe"

"But using your powers on the king, you do know it will get you in trouble"

"And you think I am scared of him? That stupid man thinks just because he sits in a throne, he is king of me? I chose the spirits that is keeping him on that throne! I have been giving each of them the luxury of this kingdom for centuries and he dare call me a filth!"

"Please calm down"

"No! I will not let him ruin all of my hard work; he has ruined it many other times" the priest growls.

"You mean..."

"It's not my fault if he cannot sire a male heir to the throne, but this child, this needs to be it"

"It's a girl?" the man whisper shouts.

"Yes"

"But you said that it's a boy, we even chose a male wolf's spirit" the man states in panic.

"I know"

"But..."

"Bring the Queen to the ritual grounds"

"But it's a girl"

"And we will have to find a way to stop him from killing her" the priest points.

"But why? Why are you doing this?"

"Why? You ask why? For centuries I have watched over this family, watched one after another sit on that throne and each one of them forget their place, think they are better!

But no more, the stars are on my side, A Queen, no one will ever accept a Queen"

"But what if they do?"

"Then I will use the fairy, she will never be accepted as our ruler"

"But why a male wolf then?" the man asks curiously and Connor steps ahead to listen as well.

"It's for her mate"

"Mate?"

"I have seen the visions, he shall be a human, a human I have to control if I want my plan to go my way, and this wolf's spirit will help me control the future King to our unborn Queen"

"Will it work?" the man asks unsure.

"What can a mere human like that do? This is no normal spirit, I have chosen this one with care, he will do exactly as I asked, all I have to do is wait for the right time" the man grins and Connor stays still.

*******

"Your Highness" the priest greets as the King walks inside the room at once.

"Out everyone" the King orders and the Priest frowns as the people hurries out just as the door is shut the King grips the priest's neck squeezing it hard.

"You dare cheat me!" the King growls and the priest tries to push his hand away.

"Your..."

"A girl, it's a girl!" the King roars and the Priest stays still in the hold before the door is opened and one of his own followers walks in and the Priest glares at the man.

"You think you can make a fool of me? All this time you lied saying it was a boy but no, how dare..." the King stops before he stumbles back. Connor narrows his eyes as he finds a bloodied knife in the priest's hand.

"You..." the King gurgles as he feels his whole body burning from inside out.

"Stop" the Priest orders the man who tries to flee before he raises his hand and chants while Connor watches the man standing on the doorway burn into ashes.

"You should have listened when I was being nice but guess this is how things will begin. I never wanted to hurt anyone of you but none of your understand it, nothing in never under your control because it has always been under mine, from the very beginning, from the beginning of your bloodline" the Priest whispers before he plunges the knife right in the heart of the king and watch the king die.

*******

Connor stares as the priest opens a portal before few men arrives, he orders them to take care of the body before he grabs the spirit of the fairy inside of the bottle from the king's pocket and walks away from the room.

Connor finds himself once again in a different scenario, he frowns as he finds a fire made and few of the men and women gathered around it before he hears the chants. He watches as the Queen is taken to stand in middle of the group, closer to the fire before the Priest arrives.

Not being able to do anything but watch, Connor stares as the Priest chants along side the others and asks the Queen to puts her hand on her womb before the process of putting the spirit begins.

He watches as the flames of the fire moves strongly around but it does not harm anyone.

"The spirit is not accepting the body" one of the witch shouts.

"It will" the Priest replies.

"It is not" they disagree even if the chants keep going.

Connor takes a step closer his eyes on the priest as the man opens the bottle and pours the spirit out and for a mere second the chant stops before it continues as the spirit in it's dazzling form swirls before moving and finally getting inside of the womb.

"It accepted" the priest states proudly.

*******

"Put her in the bed, she will need rest" the witch orders as they put the Queen's body on the bed.

"Erase the memories" the Priest orders the witch and she nods before disappearing.

Walking closer to the woman he touches her womb before he turns as a portal opens and few men walks out with the dead body of the king.

"What do we do now?" the men ask the Priest.

"What else? We have no other choice, one of you take his body over"

"But..."

"What none of you want to be a king?" The priest asks.

"But for how long?" one of the men asks.

"Until the baby is born, the body dies on the day of the child's birth, a sword right between his heart, on the same place I have plunged him" the Priest orders.

"What about my soul?" the man asks.

"I will cast a spell; you need to get out of the body before the last breath and return to your own body"

"Okay, also spread the words, the King and Queen mated with a fairy together"

"What?" the man frowns.

"Just do as I say" the priest asks before he dismisses them while he walks back to the Queen.

"Rest my babies, I shall meet you when the time is right, until then" the priest states as he touches the Queen's forehead who groans in discomfort.

"You mated a fairy as well" the priest whispers as he disappears and Connor stands to stare at the woman laying on the bed before the body of her king joins her and lies beside her.

Connor feels the scene disappearing as he jerks wide awake in his bed back at the witch's clan, laying back on the bed Connor stares at the ceiling as scrambled thoughts surrounds him, making him wonder what he felt, what he saw, was it just a dream or truth shown through the dream.
