Alex laughed at his reaction, thinking he was messing around. *just curious.* she smiled, then kissed his temple. *im glad I found you. And I never want to leave you again. Ever.*

He smiles brightly, kissing her temple. "I shall never leave your side." He whispers, a clear, true commitment.

Alex smiled, then jumped as banging rang on the door. She called, *who is it?*

*Its me, Magnus! I apologize for interrupting, but we have a problem! Your Majesty, I think you were followed when scouting!*

Alex paled, and looked at Caspian in fear.

He tenses, suddenly dashing off and speaking with the guards. They nod, suddenly 10 guards are inside the room, all blocking anyways to get in or out. "I will come back, stay here." He orders, suddenly sprinting off and shifting. Many guards follow him, all in Lycan form.

Alex ran to a window to look, and gasped.

All 500+ Lycan rogues were charging the castle, armed with guns, blades (rusty and new), claws, crow bows, torches, and one held a rusty pitchfork.

However, on little female Lycan, a few years old, was sobbing, and being beaten by what looked like her parents because she didnt have a weapon.

Magnus looked, and paled. He opened the window and called, *ANNIE!!!*

The little Lycan looked up, and cried, *DADDY?!* before being beaten with a club and sandbag.

Magnus roared in anger, but backed up and closed the window. He still kept an eye on the little Lycan named Annie.

Caspian is the first to charge head first into the battle, taking out 15 rouges in less than a minute. The next thing he does is run straight for the little girl, he darts around her and takes out the "parents" snarling and barking. He then gently nudges her up, escorting her inside the castle. Once a guard takes her hand and leads her to his room with Alex he jumps back into the fight with his guards.

The little girl ran to Magnus, who caught her and both her sobbing. Annie whispered, *i thought you left me...*

Magnus rubbed the back of her head and whispered, *i would never leave you, Anne. Ever.*

Alex watched through the window, then opened it, grabbed a bow, took aim, and fired, killing a Lycan who was about to assassinate Caspian.

The guards quickly begin finishing the last of the rouges off, Caspian easily spotted, the only Lycan with pure white fur as he tears through the rouges as if they were just blades of grass.

Alex watched, scared.

Suddenly a howl rips through the tense, deadly air, making all the Lycan freeze mid-fight as they all look to Caspian who is bent over a black Lycan.
