Reborn By Fire

***GREENVILLE***

All that could be heard were the sounds of heavy breathing, the rush of the wind and the orders from the chief guard as he yelled non stop.

"Don't let her escape! Get her!" He yelled as more guards joined in the chase.

Elsa kept running as fast as she could, and yet was as careful. She didn't want to trip and end up dropping the little infant which was safely cradled in her arms. Nothing else mattered to her now except this baby's life. If not for anyone else but for her queen. That's the least she could do since she couldn't protect her queen.

"Get her!" She heard the chief guard's voice from behind, and realized they were gaining on her. She couldn't let them catch her, she couldn't let them kill the child. She increased her pace, running deeper into the forest even though she knew it was forbidden. Neither vampires nor witches were allowed into this forest because it's a sacred ground and the home of the white wolves. She knew that and so did the guards but they still chased her knowing that their new queen would have their heads if they didn't catch her.

Elsa glanced at the little infant and surprisingly, she was still fast asleep even with all the noise, she could still sleep peacefully.That was a relief at least, and all that was left was to escape the guards.

Suddenly, she couldn't hear the guards'voices. The forest was now covered in white mist that blurred her vision a bit and she knew the cause. She stopped running immediately, trying her best to see through the mist. It was obvious the guards had also stopped chasing her as they too were blinded by it.

"You shouldn't be here." She heard a familiar feminine voice followed by low growls. Elsa couldn't see but it became obvious to her that she was surrounded by white wolves.

"I know I shouldn't but she should. Help me save her, please." She pleaded and that was when she finally saw several pairs of golden eyes from every corner, waiting to attack.

"And why should I do that? Why should we trust you!" Cecilia yelled and finally revealed herself to Elsa.

"Because we are both witches and just like you, she's special. Her father was a powerful hybrid and you know that. You can't let Sheila get to her please." Elsa pleaded.

She knew she was dead the moment she entered the forest but she had to try to save the child. She knew Cecilia would help since she probably saw everything that happened. Cecilia is a hybrid of a witch and a werewolf and that's why she was charged with the responsibility of protecting the forest. Whenever there were invaders, she would create the mist to blind them, giving the wolves the upper hand to attack.

Elsa stretched the baby towards Cecilia with a slight smile on her face. The little infant moved and suddenly opened her eyes but they didn't have their normal color this time, they were sky blue.

"I guess she's happy." Cecilia chuckled as she carried the baby in her arms. "Queen Margery a witch and king Arthur a hybrid. We must keep her identity a secret if we want to protect her from Sheila." Cecilia said this with a warning gaze and Elsa nodded immediately.

"Which means you can never leave this forest... alive." She added, and Elsa's eyes widened in shock but before she could do anything, three white wolves pounced on her, biting every part of her body while she screamed in agony.

Cecilia held the baby tight and turned away, leaving Elsa to the wolves. It pained her to kill her fellow witch but her duties come first and also, she knew Sheila would've killed her if the guards had caught her so it was best to make her death less torturous.

***THE ROYAL PALACE***

Sheila kept tapping her right foot on the ground as she waited impatiently for the guards to arrive. She had waited for this day for a long time and now it was finally here, she couldn't let anyone be a threat to her queenship.

The doors finally came open and the chief guard walked in with three other men. He had blood stains on his armour but it was obvious it didn't belong to him.

"My queen." He said as he got on one knee along with the other guards.

"Why are you empty handed?" Sheila asked, trying to be calm as she wanted to believe they were successful in their mission.
