It all happened so quickly. The monster, whatever it was, it being killed, Emily being splattered with blood and now two women with bloody swords. It took a moment to process, absolutely, but once that moment was over, Emily found herself grinning, nearly laughing. It was like she had just gone sky diving, or anything else equivalent to the biggest adrenaline rush of her life.

Semira didn’t know if it would be Gabriel or Artemis, all she knew was that she had passed out, and that she was feeling intense pain. Along with this, she also was unaware that she had been out for two days. She nearly died, that she knew. Frankly, Semira was surprised to find herself waking up. She thought that she had died.

Today was their engagement tour, where they were touring through the various cities and villages of their kingdom. Semira despised these tours, as when she went to Sonja’s engagement tour, they toured everywhere, including the filthiest parts of the kingdom. Their father had insisted that everyone should see their princess and her new husband-to-be. When it was one of the last stops of the all day tour, not only was Semira tired, as probably everyone else was, she was dreading this part as this village wasn’t exactly up to her standards. 

“Emily, can you put my hair up? The heat is getting to me a bit.” she spoke.

“Of course, Your Highness.” she addressed properly as she told Zach she did, despite addressing her as Semira in private. Semira shifted to face Zach while siting beside him as Emily sat behind her and worked to pin up her hair. 

It was clear that she, Zach, and a few others in the coven loved and adored Artemis. Their daughter, five going on six, was beautiful, intelligent, kind when she wanted to be, but very rambunctious and mischievous. Semira was unsure of why. She knew it wasn’t from a lack of structure or being spoiled, she made sure neither were a problem. Artemis did chores, she only received nice things if she “earned” them, such as finishing all of her chores early, if she took on extra tasks, or if she succeeded at something really well. 

It might’ve been all the freedom Semira gave her-- boredom probably had something to do with it too, there wasn’t much around the castle for a young child to do. Even though she was only five, vampire maturity was at least somewhat more advanced than humans, and Semira figured she would be fine not having someone hovering over her all the time. By Semira’s standards at least, Artemis was free to roam about the castle and grounds without supervision. She fought Zach on it, and they both still argued about it from time to time, but it wasn’t like Zach could watch her twenty-four-seven anyway. They both had constant work to do, Zach being a council member, Semira being his regent. Currently they were working on updating the coven’s security measures. 

Semira was frustrated to say the least. Varga was apparently annoyed at Semira constantly rejecting his advances, and now he had something to use against her that didn’t bring himself down too. They told the council that Selene and David had left, and as for Zach, he currently believed that her plan had been to frame Selene by planting UV bullets in her things. It was a believable lie, and Varga was the only one who knew otherwise. 

So after Selene’s blood was filtered, he told her he wanted half of it. 

“I did half of the work,” he said. “So I deserve half of the reward. Unless you want me telling your mate what you really planned on doing with those UV rounds.” 

It was an extreme annoyance, but one she gave into. It was less blood, but she knew that it was more than enough to fully change her into a hybrid. However, this meant that Varga would be one too. 

From her half, she saved a decent portion, which she would offer to Zach. She knew he was the jealous type, and he always detested that Varga was attracted to her. She knew he would hate learning that Varga had gained the power she had as well, so as much as she disliked sharing this gift, she would. She had to with Varga and because of that, she needed to with Zach. And she needed to before Varga had a chance to tell him. 

“What’s in it for me?” (Killersoflycans; Daisy)(I couldn't resist after last night XD)

“Well,” Semira murmured. “I’m immensely attractive and beautiful and... I suppose you’re somewhat attractive too. Think of the possibilities.”
