Rose stared at Isolde in awe. She never thought this Vampire would want to protect her. Even when she herself discovered that she was something more than a slave. She also felt a bond between her and Isolde.
Rose smiled. "Okay. Whatever you wish me to do, my lady... I'll do it. And I want to know who I really am and what my true powers are. Thank you. For everything."

Micah nodded at Samia. "I know..." He then turned to Harry and the Resistance. "Do not worry! I'll stop this immediately!!"
He glanced back at Samia. "Could you tell your comrades to stop attacking the Resistance, please? I have to tell everyone something important."
" And you will, I explain in due time " Isolde said softly.
Samia whistled for her kin to halt their attack " Alright Micah, This better be good " Samia said with a glareful stare.
Julia gasped as Selene had spotted them " Oh I was just..... " she coudn't find the words to explain she had been caught offguard.
Rose smiled, as the carriage proceeded to the Palace.

Micah grinned at Samia. "It is."
He turned to everyone. "As you all know... yes, I am an exile from the Underworld. I killed one of Isolde's best men here. I did because he treated a slave wrongly. But that's not the case. I have a daughter here. A Human and Vampire by blood. She is the one I need everyone's help on getting back."
He closed his yellow eyes sadly. "Her name... is Rose."
He took a full moon shaped locket from his neck, and opened it. It revealed a picture of him, his Human wife Ariel, and baby Rose. He showed it to Samia and everyone. Even the Resistance.
"I'm so proud of her..."
" You betrayed your own kind has well as mine, That in itself is punishable by death I don't care what you did to the rest of your filthy bloodsuckers, But to us we took you in when you had noone your half Lycan " Samia snared with words of intensity " ...So Isolde has your daughter, I doubt very much that she will kill her, Then again not like Isolde to be nice now is it ? " samia remarked changing the subject of Micahs betrayal to them.
Micah closed his eyes and bowed his head angryily after she said the harsh words of his betrayal. He knew what he did... but he knew it was for the best.
Going on the subject about his daughter, he looked at Samia, ignoring her usually smart remarks. "We all need to form a plan. To get my little girl back."
He stared off in space sadly. "She doesn't know who I am though, now that she's 19..." He sighed and turned to the Resistance, Lycans, and Vampires. Then he went on top of a rock to get everyone's attention.
"Listen up!! My daughter has been captured by Isolde, as I have told you! She might use Rose for her own dangerous deeds. She may even use Rose's powers against everyone of us! So we must put aside our pasts, and work together to bring my little girl back. What say you?!!"
He waited for their responses.
Harry nodded at Olivia, then turned to Micah blinked in disbelief. "What is this, a soap opera or something?" He murmured.
Lara nodded beside him. "He just delivered a speech."
"I know." Harry shook his head.
"So we'll go on another idealistic, insane crusade we don't know what the heck it is about?" Lara asked Harry.
"Except for Rose, we know no other detail." Harry shrugged. "Dude, details. we need details. What happened? Who are you? What is Rose? What the hell's going on?!"
" Yes Micah is always one for speeches " she said over hearing the conversation between Lara and Harry even though she was a fair distance away from them she could still hear just as clear as if they were standing close. Samia then turned her attention back to Micah " So give us one good reason why we should care about your precious daughter ? or why we should help you get her back ?, No offence but have you been to Isolde's palace ? It is heavily guarded there is no way in without being undetected "
Micah bowed his head sadly. This wasn't going to work out anyway. He looked up at everyone.
"Y' know what? Just... just forget it. I'll get my little girl back myself. I mean.... I've always been an outcast, haven't I? The Humans in the above World always treated me fairly than any of you foul creatures. I don't know why I asked for you all help anyway. I'm outta here..."
And with that, Micah jumped off the rock and walked away, ready to save Rose, his daughter, by himself.
Harry frowned. "Ho-boy. All I did was ask." He frowned. "He'll be going up against the vamp queen."
"He made his choice." Lara said. "We have to go and help and resistance..."
Harry nodded, and he raised his staff. They suddenly remembered the vampires and lycans heading off towards them, and he screamed. "Run everyone!"
Harry gestured at the other humans in the resistance to go and help Julia. He gestured to Lara to follow the humans too, and Lara nodded, and went off to help Julia.
"Don't eat anyone, okay Lara? I'm going to go intercept Micah."
"Not unless they attack me I won't. Don't die." Lara answered, smirking, and led the resistance out of the vampire-lycan pile-up and followed Julia.
"Won't."

"Hey, furry! Micah!" Harry shouted, and ran after the half-vamp half-wolf. "Wait up man! Are you really going to go after Rose alone? The Vamp Queen's powerful. And insane. You can't do it alone dude." Harry's lips thinned into a straight line. "All I want to know is who Rose is, really. Almost stuck a neck out for the kid - but I couldn't fight the Queen of the leeches alone."
" Alright Olivia...but be careful yeah " and she quickly set off away from the cage with the prisoners not far behind her.
Samia called off her Lycans to stop fighting and changed form into the direction to where to Micah was.
The carriage to the palace drawed to it's destination it was the most beautiful place in the underworld and well guarded, The driver opened the carriage door and Isolde motioned for Rose to go out first but not too far ahead and Isolde and Ethanuel followed shortly after,
((Sorry for the wait. 🙂 ))
Micah stopped, almost by the door, and turned to Harry. He smiled sadly as Harry asked about Rose and it would be dangerous for Micah himself to face the Vampire Queen.
"Rose is a Dhampir. Half human, half Vampire. Her mother is Human, while I am a Vampire. Well, half Lycan too, but fully Vampire. I have to save Rose before Isolde does something terrible to her. And don't worry. If I die... it'll be worth it..."
He placed a hand on Harry's shoulder and walked off again, only to be stopped again to see Samia coming.
"Thought I said I'd go alone, Lady Samia..." he said in a quiet, sad voice.

Rose went out of the carriage and looked up at the beautiful palace. "Whoa," she breathed, and began to walk towards it slowly.
She looked at Isolde from behind, her expression asking her if she should go inisde.

Jake, in his invisible form, kept watch of Rose, making sure she was all right.
Harry frowned. "If you need some help, Micah, I'm all for it." He said. Harry's hand tightened around his hockey stick. "Just say the word. I could leave Lara here - or Lara could come with you..."

Lara nodded at Julia. "It's your call." Lara glanced around. "I don't stay a lot under here - I like it better up."
