After three days i tried to stand with some amount of dignity after being late to meet my brother in the "morning". I ran a comb through my bang before setting it down on the counter. I could hear Lance laughing from the next room. He was watching something on television, he felt completely carefree while i was to embarrassed to go down stairs. To embarrassed to face Kyo, Gabriel, Jessica, and my brother. "Ugh" I sighed pulling on the clothes that Jessica had left me two days ago when i felt her presence in the hall. I stumbled out of the bathroom catching myself on the end of the night stand. Lance took my hand from the nigtstand pulling me into him. He was shirtless wearing nothing but his deniem jeans. "Are you sure you want to go down stairs now?" he whispered in my ear. "I was suppose to meet him days ago" I said trying to push him away. Lance smiled at my words "So you wanted to leave when i was rocking your world?" I hit him on his firm chest. "Try to act respectable" "Hmm, i'll try" he said kissing my forehead.

Charity glared at Lance as we desceded down the stairs. His arms were folded across his chest his eyes flashing crimson. "Your late Harmony" he growled never looking at me but instead at my husband. "Calm down, Charity" Lance chuckled. "Its Onyx" Charity growled. "I like the name better so you better use it. You too little Harmony" He said his voice softer when addressing me. "Come to the sitting room" He said nodding forward before he began walking. We moved passed a smirking Kyo and Gabriel in the kitchen as they ate meals that looked like enought for two families. Jessica smiled following behind Lance leaving the wolves to themselves. He turned abruptly down the hall. For the first time i noticed how lavish my brother lived.

The floors were made of pink marble with brown in it. The walls were a cream white with pictures hanging against the walls leveled with the ceiling and floor. He turned to burgandy colored doors with golden handles. I watched as he pushed opened the door to the room. The room was much like a play room more than a sitting room. In the far left wall was a large flatscreen televison that was mounted on to the wall. i could see millions of green and white small boxes on the floor scattered around a medium sized rectangular box that had an X silver marking onit. A leather couch occupied the front of it so that whomever sat there had a full view, along with two arm chairs a few feet from it on either sides. On the right wall was another large contraption, what Kyo called a stereo. "Sit here" my brother motion us to the couch near the huge television.

"Now tell me, why have you come here?" He asked sitting in the chair opposite of me. Jessica sat on the arm of the chair staring intently as Lance put his arm around my shoulders pulling me close to him "I have come to get you to take back the throne," I said. I was aware of Jessica staring at Charity curiosly as he stared at me. "Why?" he asked. "You belong there" "Lance has the throne. i'm sure he dosen't want to give it up" I looked at Lance a little shocked that he he hadn't intervened. "I am fine its not like it belongs to me anyway" he whispered giving me a slight squeeze. I gaped at him. "How did you know that?" I asked. "My father is not the true heir to the throne. Hell i know i have strength that other vampires don't have but that doesn't mean i want to be a king." "What makes you think i want to be king?" Charity whispered.

"Wait what is this first!?" Jessica growled placing her hands over her chest. I swallowed hard at my brothers words."We are siblings as you already know. We come from the vampire kingdom of Romania. We are the children of the deceased Esmerelda and Edward Attlee " Lances arm unwound from around me as he took a scoot back to look at me. "Your royalty?" I nodded. "How long were you going to keep this from me?" Jessica asked hurt in her voice. "I didn't think it would ever need to be known" He looked from me to Lance. "You haven't told him either?" "No, i didn't want to tell him" I bit my lip as i tried to touch his hand. He slid further away from me on the couch, just as Jessica moved from my brother.

"Those names haven't been said in this house for a while" He whispered shaking his head. "Why do i need to take the throne now? Why not when you first aware i was alive!" He yelled standing. I stood feeling the need to defend myself. "I could not get away! Eric is the one who knew you were alive! I just went with his plan" "He shouldn't have known no one should have!" "Will you come back?" "Harmony your asking for the impossible" "How is it impossible?" I screamed. "That bitch took everything from us! she took our parents, are titles, our land. Yet, you think this is impossible! Out of cold blood she murdered our parents and all you can do is sit there and pity what life they gave you!" "What pity Harmony! I have made my own place here without my fathers title! I thought you were dead, how did you excape anyway?"

"Would you have preferred it if i had died? so that you would not have to take the responsiblility?" We stared at eachother in silence."How did you excape?" he asked again. "A wolf saved me from the fire.It carried me on its back until it got me to safety." "Where after?" "Ahren's parents raised me in secracy" "You knew he had claim here didn't you" Lance whispered. I nodded "At first it was to get closer to the prince to get to the woman i thought was the advisor of the king. The one i watched kill our parents. Elizabeth, it shocked me to know that she was queen. I had not imagined her son being my mate. yet, here he is! "

"Elizabeth did this?" he aksed his voice filled with venom. "Yes, she was mad that mom married dad and she had to settle for Lance's father" I said tears falling down my face. I felt somewhat comforted as Lances arms went around my waist pulling me into him. Silence filled the room as everyone took in my words. The silence was short lived as Lance's pocket began to viberate. Lance looked at me apologetically before answering. "Hello, Son" The kings voice said on the other line. "Father i will call you ba-" "There will be no need seeing as Harmony has served her purpose" "What?" I stared at lance as did everyone else listening to the conversation taking place.

"You have ten seconds to get away from the house" "Father?" "TEN" "NINE" "Father!" "Eight" "Father!" "Seven" "Six" Lance picked me up before leaping through the window. Jessica and Charity following suit jumping from the window. "Gabriel! Kyo!" I screamed pushing Lance from me. The sun burned my skin as i ran back towards the house. FIVE. FOUR. "Harmony no!" Lance screamed. THREE.TWO. ONE. I touched the door. BAM. The house was blown to bits. I was thrown backwards from the blast landing hard on my back. I could feel my ribs crack inside of me and my bones in my arms as i tried to move. Tears streamed down my cheeks as i willed myself up. I stood trudging away from the wreckage toward the voices that called my name. "Harmony!" Lance called running towards me. I started to say something when BANG. I looked down at my stomach dark blood soaked my hands. I could feel something in my wound and it ate away at my insides. I screamed in agony as Lances arms caught me.

"Harmony! Harmony!" My world began to fade the burning of the sun meant nothing at pain that was in my stomach. I could feel something inside of move but was slowly ate away at the bullet lodged in my stomach. Weakly i stared up at Lances panicked face. His midnight blue eyes gleaming a nice shade of blue. I reached upward to move the stray strand of curly black hair behind his ear. "I love you.." I whispered. My hand never made it to his face. Never made it to caress his soft skin once more. Instead it fell slack beside me as my eyes closed. "Harmony!" i heard his scream. His sweet voice became a murmer upon the dark that was my conciousness.
