"Go to your office and wait for me." I gestured to three of my companions when the car pulled up in front of the big glass house of my foundation 'HPP'. It is interpreted to mean Help for Persons in Prison. They were shocked contemplating what I was up to as they stared at me with wide eyes. "Do as I say!" I repeated and they hurried off towards the building but one remained staring at me in fear and surprise.
"What are you up to, Your Majesty?" Eva, one of my staff asked. She was the only one I was really close to, I treated her as a friend and sister but others I treated for who they were, my staff. Familiarity I felt would diminish my respect.
"I need to go see the queen now."
"Why?" She asked, her gaze laced with terror and mouth open.
"Eva I need to do this," I said with firmness.
"You're putting yourself at great risk, the queen can hurt you. Even if she may not be able to harm you physically, she can do that otherwise. You know she has evil powers. She is a hybrid but you're a normal werewolf."
"Who told you so?" I paused to stare detectively at her. "Even if I'm an ordinary werewolf, you should know that good always conquers evil. Love conquers all things."
"Do you love Douglas?" Eva rolled her eyes with a slight smile lighting up across her face. I laughed, rolling my eyes too.
"What do you mean?" I joked. "Can't I help someone who is in need of my help?" We burst out laughing.
A thought flashed across my mind, I needed to do what was my duty without any delay. Delay was dangerous.
"Eva, I'll meet you later, have to go now." This time around, I didn't need anyone to drive me. I just went to my garage, the one at my company, got into my Mercedes-AMG One, reversed and drove off.
"Goodbye and good luck!" Eva waved as I passed her. I was heading straight to the royal palace of Pandora to challenge her, and to seize her power of seeing what I was up to, to myself. She had no right to see in her magic mirror, whatsoever, what I was doing. I needed to stop her before she stopped me. That wouldn't be possible, I'm far more powerful than her, that's why I laughed when Eva talked of her harming me.
Normally, no one was permitted to visit the royal palace except asked for. The penalty was death for those who erred. The only case that took shifters who weren't of the palace there was if they were sent for by the king or queen. Most of the time it was the queen, and such an invitation meant tragedy. She never called anyone for good. The guards at the gate were armed with guns, consisting of shifter police and the army. It was a combined security structure.
Everything had been modernized in the wolf world, we were no longer living in the era of swords and knights but a modern security structure, security personnel who were armed with guns. They were instructed not to let any unsolicited person pass through. Before you gained entrance into the palace, you had to carry a pass given by the one who invited you, the king or queen. I had none but I was going to pass through it.
When my car stopped at the gate, I got down, locked it and pressed the push button. The mighty bronze gate opened before my very eyes. The guards may have been surprised at how I passed through without tapping any pass at the push button. I just used my finger and the gate pulled up right in front of me. They stared at me with wide eyes, before them I was no longer a human but an enchantress walking in all her glory with an awe-striking golden light surrounding her.
Inside the palace was a perfect description of an earthly paradise, the scent of all sweet-smelling flowers mixed together and filled the air. The floor was tiled with golden tiles that looked like glass, I haven't seen this in any other place before. Flowers were planted line by line, each column representing a certain color on the sides of the walkway. This path was for pedestrians, there was a different path for cars. "What a glorious site!" I muttered as I walked on. The environment was too saintly and perfect for such a wicked creature, the queen. I know it must have already been like this before she got the position of Luna and queen. My mind told me she would have changed it to a dark, scary settlement. A place so gloomy and covered with wild, creepy trees like those myth forest trees that stood in the form of ancient creatures. Evil creatures like Pandora preferred living in such environment.
Sounding sarcastic though, yet it's the truth. Vampires do not like bright lovely places like this, they live in dark settlements, mostly underground where no light from the sun would penetrate. Here was a different vampire who couldn't be hurt by the sun, she used her dark powers to evade the burning effect of the sun's powerful rays.
"She's the only person who could hurt but wouldn't let anything or anyone hurt her. I'm going to hurt her!" I said to myself. I was now climbing the winding stairs up the main castle where she and the king resided. Many officers were around the area but they couldn't see me. I made myself invisible to them.
I saw with my third eye that this evil queen was watching as I climbed up the stairs, she was sitting before her magic mirror which operated like a modern CCTV camera. While others use this, she was using a magic mirror. What a mysterious creature! I climbed further with a swift speed no ordinary shifter would, it would look like I was flying. I saw her eyes widened in shock and horror. For the first time, she was afraid!
I laughed to myself, "I'm ready for you, the reign of wicknessness by you will soon be over!" I mind-linked with her, though I said it inside me, she could hear me clearly. Normally, she can't read thoughts especially that of superior creatures like me, she could only see what I was doing which I'm gonna stop.
After passing through many hallways, doors and people working in the castle whom I was invisible to, I came to the main room Pandora stayed. As I neared the giant door, it opened on its own. Pandora would certainly know that my power is more than hers. She can't continue to feel as though she is the most powerful creature in the universe.
Immediately I entered the room, the magic mirror switched off by the wave of her hand. Pandora raised her dark bloody eyes up, a true vampire!
"Is this a friendly visit?"
"Of course you know it isn't." I replied in an irritated way, I was disgusted about everything that had to do with her, including her cold sinister voice. She was an evil creature and needed to be treated as one.
"Then what are you up to?" She muttered. I rolled my eyes, with a wave of my hand closed and locked all doors around us. Terror ran across her face. I had to make sure there was no escape for her.
