To the Wicked World

guardians/one mate

Guardians: Adam (bear), Oliver (wolf), Phillips (dragon) William (elf), Frank (vampire), Charles (summons dragon).

Ages: 17-30

Each guardian helps train and protect the princess. If Anastasia let's them protect her. She just sees them as family and helps keep her in line with her powers and needs to blow off steam. They know she's very powerful and is up for a challenge.

As they saw what she had done to her father, they were worried about her when she took off in her fairy form. Where have she gone to, they wonder. But like her father had said, if she leaves the land they'll know.

Adam and Phillips is the closest to Ana, they were there when she was born. Adam, helped her with her school work while Phillips here, he had played hookie with her. He was already out of school but played with her when she wasn't busy. Half the time he wished she was his mate even though he was almost in his 20s. Out of all the guardians, he was the only one looking for a mate.

Oliver and Frank were very protective of her. Frank, he was always in the shadows watching her. Oliver he watched her in his wolf form a lot when she was outside the castle. And she would known he was too. She didn't know about Frank because well she never saw him. Both Oliver and Frank were 25 years old, they were born the same damn day and they saw each other as brothers even though they're supposed to be enemies. But those that lived in the land, that serve to protect the land and the Queens, princess, Kings, and princes are great friends.

Then there's William and Charles, both really powerful for their kind. They did everything for the princess to get her strong. William mastered everything with her and she was one of his best students that he's ever taught. Charles, he likes to have some fun when he teaches his summons to others. But with her it was different, he was hard on her at first but in the end, the fun really started.

As usual, guardians are hand picked out for a child of a royal fairy but these guardians, felt a pull like no other to help the princess. It was just like the mate pull but stronger.

As Frank went to follow his princess, the others went back to training the others that needed training. Frank felt hurt that he was doing this to her but he was ordered. Once he had found her near the back woods, in a small tree house that was made just for a fairy. He couldn't really get in there but he could sense her in there.

As he went to sit down on a branch, he heard such a beautiful noise he's ever heard. When he heard it coming from the tree house, he smiled hearing his princess singing. Such a beautiful voice that all those were around, birds, butterflies, all the cute creatures and the little fairies that are pest, was sitting outside the tree house.

As a vampire, he thought he would find his beloved and someone to be like his princess. Beautiful, strong willed, bad ass but since he became a guardian he lost all hope in that. All his worries and concerns were all on the princess.

As the princess sat there singing her melody, there were footsteps coming near. When Frank looked it was human, but short. Ana changed and landed on the ground with a sword to his throat. He put his hands up automatically but wasn't scared.

"Woah, I won't hurt you my princess." He said as he bowed his head a little.

"Who are you? What are you?" She asked.

"Riley, I'm an elf with a quarter human in me." He has said.

Frank's eyes went a little wide on what he had heard. But stood out and watched.

"Well Riley, what are you doing here?"

"I heard a magical sound then started to feel a pull this way so I followed it. Now that I am here, the pull is strong and I smell the most delicious smell I've ever smelt before." He had said.

Anastasia's eyes got big on what he was saying. She wondered if this could be one of her mates but she don't feel the pull though. At least not yet. She had a couple more weeks til her 16th birthday. She slowly lowered her sword to the ground and Reily lowered his hands.

"I-I don't feel a thing. Or even smell a thing." She said.

"How old are you?" He asked.

"15, but in a few weeks I'll be 16."

"I heard fairies once they turn 16, they feel their mate."

"Yes, that's true. How old are you?"

"I'm, 17 but I feel older than that for who I am. But since I'm half human, I don't age like the normal elves do."

"Do you live on the land?" She asked.

"No, I live right outside the land."

When Frank heard that, he got curious and caution on the news. The barrier was either getting weak or isn't strong enough if a human could get through. Frank was about to step off the branch and go to his princess when she stepped closer to him.

"How is that possible for you to get through. We have a shield."

"Yes, I know. I felt it when I walk through. It hurts a little bit because I think I'm an elf and elves do live on this land don't they?"

"Yes, they do. That might be the foldable reason. Are you the only one?" She asked.

"Clearly yes. My mother was human and died giving birth to me. And my father he, well." He stopped talking for a second then turned his head. "He left me alone at a young age."

"What do you mean?" She asked then you could hear more footsteps.

She looked around to see where it was coming from. That's when Frank saw them coming her way. There were 8 of them, rogues and there happened to be someone riding on top of one. Frank jumped down right in front of Anastasia scaring her and Riley.

"Frank, what are you doing?" She asked as he took out his sword.

"Rogues and someone is riding on their back." That was all he said as he pushed her behind him.

Once they came clearer to them they had stopped just about 10 feet in front of them. The one that was on one of their backs got off and walked closer to them.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Ah looky here, its a ugly halfbreed vernon. Riley this is no place for you to be in? You could get hurt... Or you could hurt the poor little girl."

"Shut up, I would never hurt her. She's my mate."

"Awe, he finally found his mate. Tsk, too bad you be dead before she can do anything to you." He had said.

Riley looked pissed at what the man was saying even though he didn't know who he was.

"Riley, who is this man?" Anastasia asked.

"Princess, I do not know. He and his posse likes to tease me for what I am."

"Princess? Oouuu, even better. I might just take her for myself."

"Over my dead body!" Frank had said. "Princess, go back to the castle now!" Frank hissed at her.

"No! I've trained for this. I can help." She hissed back.

"No!" Frank hissed as he turned his head back a little. "Take your mate and go. I can handle these idiots. As your guardian, do as I say." Then he turned his back towards the rogues and whistled loud. Since that was his signal for the other guardians to be warned.

Just as he did that, the one that was talking attacked Frank. But Frank was quick and hit him with his sword. Then the rogues went to attack him all at once and the princess wasn't liking this. She sent fire at them making them yelp in pain from being burned. She had smirked at them then looked at the guy fighting Frank. She wanted to help him in anyway.

As she an opening when Frank had pushed the guy a few feet away from him, she took her chance. She froze his feet in place making the strange man look down then looked at her. Then she conjured a box and flaming arrow and aimed it at him. As she shot it, the rest of the guardians came when the arrow had hit him and sent him in flames. As the rogues, had saw that they went to run but when they did, they s**t and invisible wall that the princess had bewitched after she shot the arrow.

"Stay off my land! Next time I see y'all and I will remember y'all since I burnt your fur. My marks don't go away. I will kill y'all just like I did your friend. Leave my people alone!" The princess had called out to them and brought down the invisible wall. Then shot a fireball at the ground close to them to scare them.

They took off bat out of hell for their life. As they left, she turned and looked at Riley, just as a dragon had landed next to them scaring Riley as well. When he saw the dragon that landed, it was Phillips. He went to his princess and grabbed ahold of her.

"Don't ever do that." He told her then hugged her.

"Anastasia, I told you to go home!" Frank yelled at her.

"That's enough," Oliver had said as he shifted and put shorts on.

"I know you did, but I could've helped and I did." Anastasia hissed back at him after letting go of Phillips. "This is my land, I need to protect it for myself."

"Yes, but Frank here was right." Riley had said then bowed his head when Anastasia gave him a pissed off look.

"Who is he?" Phillips and Adam asked at the same time.

Adam came closer to where they were and looked at the man bowing down to them. William blinked over to him and grabbed him by his neck.

"He's human." William had said.

"No, stop!" Anastasia yelled out to William until she stug him with a low volt of lightning.

"Ah," William said as he let go of Riley and dropped down to one knee. Anastasia took the moment and stood in front of Riley. When the pain went away, William stood back up and glared at her. "Your father will hear about this. You do not use your summons one me or any of us unless its training."

"I know, but he's my mate." When she said that they looked at her but Frank. He was the only one that knew.

"Human as a mate, please." William had said.

"He's not human. Well a quarter human. He's an elf." Anastasia said then turned around and looked at him and smiled. "And he's perfect."

William made a noise and turn away from them. He walked over to Charles, that was still in his dragon form.

"Let's go back to the castle. Your parents are worried." Oliver had said then took off his shorts and shifted. Adam done the same and joined him. Phillips shifted and bowed his head for Anastasia and Riley to get on him.

As they flew back to the castle, Phillips was feeling sad that Anastasia wasn't his mate after hearing Riley was hers. But in a way, he was kinda glad so that if she was in, he wouldn't be able to handle her fighting along side of him.

Once they got back, they landed and Anastasia and Riley slide off of Phillips and he shifted back. Once the others came they rushed next to her to walk along the side of her to see her parents in the throne room.

When Anastasia pushed open the doors, everyone that was in there looked up to see came in. Everyone that was in there all cheered to see that the princess was alive and well. That the attack was done and over with. She smiled at them all and shot up some fireworks. Riley looked amazed at what he was seeing. But when he looked forward, he could feel the stares that the man in the Kings chair was giving him.

"Oh my dear, your safe." The woman next to him had said as she got up.

"Yes, mother." She said as she hugged her. "A small group of rogues couldn't hurt poor little me."

Frank made a noise getting the queen and her daughters attention. "Why don't you tell your mother and father how you disobey my order."

"What is this, Anastasia?" The king had said. "You disobeyed his order?"

"I saved his ass. So yes, I did. It was just him fighting against one man. The others hadn't showed up yet. So yes, I disobeyed his stupid ass order." Anastasia had said.

"You could've been killed." The king had yelled out when he stood up.

"Well I wasn't. I killed the said man that was fighting Frank. And burned a mark on the rogues and gave them a warning. If they came back I'll kill them." Anastasia said getting a look from her mother when she said she killed a man. "So instead of getting yelled at I should get an applause. I saved not just one person's life but 3 and the whole kingdom. I was trained to fight and that is what I did and still gonna do so. I am the future queen of this land."

"Future queen, yes." Her father hissed. "Started asking like it. When you are given an order do it. Even if you think you can fight them off." The king had said then looked a little to the right and saw the half elf behind her, holding his daughters hand. "Who is this human?" He had asked.

When he said human, everyone in the room made a shocking noise. Then one of the former kings stood up. It was her great great grandfather. He was a lycan and had strong feelings about humans.

"Human, what is a human doing in the castle. Let alone in the kingdom."

"Grandpa, he isn't just human. He's elf with a quarter human. They were after him in the first place."

"Okay, should've let them have him. Instead of getting yourself hurt in the process." He had said.

That hit a nerve where Anastasia sent a low volt of lightning at the former king. "HE'S MY MATE!" She hissed out.

Before the volt of lightning had hit, the current king had countered the lightning with some spell. A invisible wall had blocked the shot. When everyone saw what had happened, William had walked up and bowed.

"Your highness, she's correct. He's an elf with a quarter human in him. I also attack him getting myself shocked." William said then looked back at Anastasia.

"Mate huh," the queen had said smiling. "Well welcome. As its getting late, dinner will be out soon. Go to your places and get rested up and cleaned. I'll see y'all back here when dinner is ready. Y'all are all dismissed." The queen had said then smiled at her mate for a moment then turned to their child. "William, please take Anastasia's mate to a room on our floor so he can get washed up and rested til dinner. And find him something nice to wear."

"Yes, your Majesty." William said. "Riley, come." He said snapping his finger.

"I'll see you later." Anastasia told him then kissed him on his cheek.

As they walked away, Anastasia looked at her parents before walking away herself. At first she wanted to say something to her father but stopped herself in the process. So she turned away, looking at Phillips for him to follow, then went up to her room to take a hot shower then rest from a little bit.
