Chapter 2
I stared into his eyes questioning his previous statement in silence... What did he mean by "Queen"? I thought. But I was so distracted with my thoughts in silence that it startled me when Dredge touched my cheek. Caressing it ever so lightly.
I gazed deep in his beautiful navy eyes. Suddenly, tons of memories flowed into my mind.
Flashback
I was sitting on my bed, deep in thoughts. A sudden figure approached me, awakening me from my thoughts. There stood a beautiful man, too beautiful to be mine.
Tall with wide chest and broad shoulders. Long and muscular arms and legs. Hair bright blond like the colour of the warm sun, eyes warm navy blue. Nose sharp, not too long, not too short, Perfect. Lips pink and lush. He was the perfect man.
"Dredge.." His lips crushed onto mine when I was about to speak. He longed for me, hungry and possessive. I didn't care one bit. I slide my hand onto his back, synchronizing with his touch on me. His hand found its way to my right breast and I was given a light squeeze that earned him a moan. He took the chance to slid his tongue into me exploring his way in my mouth. It gave me the shudders as our tongue entwined and danced together.
I slid my hand under his shirt, unclothing him as he did me. As he broke the kiss and trailed it down my jaw, I couldn't help but feel disappointed that we had to stop our hot kiss. I realized his smirk as I growled low as he planted kisses along the part that connected my neck and my shoulder.
His mouth found his way to my breast and kissed my hardened nipple. That night, we made love as though there were no tomorrow. Unfortunately, tomorrow did come.
He gently squeezed both my breast with his hands and stared deep into my eyes, with eyes filled with lust.
He was my lover, My knight, My husband. Dredge Persimus.
End of Flashback
"I accept you as you, I accept me as me. I, Queen of the Underworld. Lady of the Night, Menolly D'Arg. And I accept you, Dredge Persimus, Son of the great vampire, Jarele Persimus. My mate, my love, My knight of the Underworld." With that, I kissed him with full force only to be return with a compassionate and long kiss.
Nextmorning, I woke up from sleeprecalling the dream I had to know that it really happened. I saw Dredge approaching my bed, topless. I stared at his naked torso and blushed when I realized he was aware of where I was looking. After what we did together last night, I didn't think I'd still blush.
He brought me a cup of coffee. Warm, the way I like it. Yes, I can drink coffee. The tales about vampires only survived on blood is not all true, but not all wrong either. We can still eat human food and walk under the sun. But it is no lie that our eyes do sting when sunlight occur.
I sipped the coffee slowly to enjoy the taste on my tongue before swallowing it. I loved how the coffee tasted. Thick and rich, just like, erm... well, blood... *smiles* Now don't get me wrong. Blood does taste thick and rich you know.
As I rested the cup down on the blanket, I realized that I was no longer in my room. I was in an unfamiliar room. Its scent was like the earth, thick,musky and soily. Though at first it stung my noise. But slowly the scent became soothing. Funny how I didn't realize it until now. I must have been so caught up on staring at Dredge that I didn't realize my surroundings.
I blushed at that thought. Only to be soothe by Dredge. His hands caressed my cheeks. It immediately calmed me down.
"Today my love, you will have to fulfill your duties." I groaned at the statement. Oh how I have always hated working.
I got dressed in a silken dress. It was thin and light. It made walking very much easier. I should thank Dredge for the dress. It suited its purpose as it was hot in the Underworld. Though we don't feel any difference of hot and cold. But it doesn't hurt to be a little human sometimes, does it?
I met Dredge down at the dining hall, passing through several hallways and several corridors. If a human were to live here, he or she will be exercising everyday for the all sorts of reasons. Good thing I'm not though. *Grins*. Else I'll be skin and bones left if I were to get lost in this labyrinth of a castle. To think that this castle is mine... Who would have thought of it.. hmm... hahaha...
A sudden figure startled me. It wasn't a man. It was an animal, a black panther with a horn on its forehead. Making it look like a unicorn. It had golden eyes and long sharp fangs. Much like a Saber-tooth. It stared at me with longing eyes. I reached out my hand to touch it, but it moved back one step. "Agape, come, come to me my pet. Have no fear of me. You are mine Agape. I love you, and I won't hurt you Agape. You know I won't." Convinced, Agape(which means Love in our language) approached me. I welcomed her lovingly and scratched her left ear, earning myself a purr. She was contented as I was. Soon I had to move on to the dining table, where Dredge sat waiting for me.
I was accompanied by my familiar, Agape. It brought me more confidence in time to come to meet the Vampire Council. Even the Underworld had politics.... WHY!!!!!!
"Welcome, your Majesty Menolly. I am glad to be of your acquaintances. I am called Gnosis. Beside me here is my younger brother, Logos. I assume you remember us, no?" I nodded my head in agreement. Gnosis and Logos. Both symbolizes Knowledge. Interesting, I expect alot coming from them. *Smirks*. They seem to be a likable lot. My journey here will be an interesting one once more. I will follow where fate and destiny brings me.
