“Why do I smell blood” a voice I think Black Wolf”s sounds through the darkness. Why am I waking up like this again? Fate maybe but I do not know. I let out a low moan as I try to find out what is happening around me. The pain is as if someone dug a needle in my eyes, stabbed me with knifes along my spine, and shredded my legs from the blow the knee.

“I do not know but it does smell like Ilene’s” Groden’s voice says near by.

“You….are….such….an.....idiot” I say each word hurting as my tongue touches my teeth. I feel a hand touch me and I give a moan of pain. Ok who's the idea you decide to touch me when I’m clearly in pain. Could be Groden or Dark Wolf. Why I’m I still calling him Dark Wolf why not Sir Dark….I wonder why that seems to fit.

“I’m going to go get the healer again” Groden says and soon I hear footsteps running away.

“I wonder what you see in him Princess” Sir Dark says.

“Do…I…have…to..have...a...reason...to...love..someone” I asks.

“No I guess not. But a word of advice not everyone will take to kindly to you marrying a dragon” Sir Dark says.

“I… guess…. I’ll… just… have…. to… change… their… minds… then… about… him” I say as footsteps come running toward us.

“Why am I healing you again” the healer says angrily. I give a soft laugh and wince. Soon the pain vanishes and my vision returns. I look down at my feet and give a sigh.

“I’m going to have that stupid psychotic Doctor's head chopped off” I say looking up at Groden.

“The Princess is a little bloodthirsty” Sir Dark says with a grin.

“You try waking up not ONCE but TWICE with your body changed while all you can do is feel pain” I say raising my voice a few times.

“I bet even the softest hearts will want the persons head that did it to them” Sir Dark says clearly satisfied with what was happening.

“So want to take the throne from my father I know about that meeting you had with others” I say looking at him.

“Sure I was going to do that after I found out what really happened to you” Sir Dark says.

“Before you go into all those details shouldn’t Ilene learn how to walk again” Aethra says coming out of the shadows.

“You just want to experience mother action” I say glaring at her.

“You can’t blame me can you” Aethra asks.

“No I can not” I say shaking my head with a sigh. This going to be such fun.
