" I'll make sure no one will hurt you, okay? "

"Okay," He looked at the doors that led to room they where heading to.
He could hear voices inside, two low voices, one female voice and a high pitched voice.

She knocked on the door.

The small man answered, "Oh, hello Princess, we are busy right now. Please come back later."
There was a huge circular table with a map in the centre. The king was at the far side, sitting in his throne. Next to him was the queen. There was another girl who stood at the side, scars covering her body.

Usually Elsie was quite compliant. " No. I want to see my Father. "

The man looked surprised to hear her talk back, "I'm sorry bu-" He was cut off by the queen.
"Oh, let her come in. The conversation wasn't going anywhere anyways," The queen said as the man bowed and opened the door.

She stepped inside the room, walking towards her parents.

Shrub hid outside of the room, ducking behind the door. He was scared to go inside.

"What brings you here," The King asked, not noticing Shrub yet, "Is something wrong sweetie?"

" Yes. " She glanced at Shrub, walking over to him. " Its okay. You can come out. "

Shrub looked at her as he slowly walked out, legs trembling a bit.

"Hey, look at that. There is still one left," The short man said, looking a bit surprised.

"How did you find that," The queen asked, the king was silent, "Why don't you give it to us, we'll take care of it."
