Thank you Undertakersonlyfriend for reviewing! I'm sorry the last chapter was so short but it started only as an idea from a dream I had so I put it up seeing if it would get any hits. Well one hit lol but that's enough for me. This story is going to be Dark and evil cause Durza is dark and evil and I like him that way so why would I change him lol enjoy! Also A dark spirit from her father went into her when she was conceived thus making her half shade but she still has her own human spirit along with a dark one.
Pictures are now up on my profile.
Disclaimer: I only own Hecate.
I smirked at myself in the mirror then changed into a new dress. I went to the stables and grabbed a mare and stallion that had already bonded and tied them to a cart that a neighbor had. Luckily it was only a little bit charred and I was able to fix the wheel with a snap of my fingers.
I loaded up cages with chickens, a ram and a lamb that had survived and not been taken, then tied the last horse to the back of the cart. I packed all my belongings, my fathers spell books, extra clothes, food, jewelry I could sell, quilts, furs, and everything else I would need with me onto the cart. I sealed off the home and put a note on the door that only a shade would see.
"Catch me if you can." was burned onto the door then I kissed a spot next to it. I love a challenge. I smirked and pulled on my cloak and put the hood up to conceal my face. I climbed on the seat of the cart and got the horses going.
I traveled for some months before coming across a group of traveling gypsies. They went from town to town entertaining. Though while some entertained and created a distraction, others would be in the crowds pickpocketing. I joined them without hesitation.
I sold the extra horse and jewelry and saved the money for when I needed it.
I had traveled with the gypsies for four years. In those years I learned to tightrope walk, throw daggers right on target, belly dance with and without Isis wings, dance with hoops, dance with poi, and pickpocket. I created an own talent of mine. The other gypsies named me "The Siren" for it. I sung while combining magic with my voice. Hypnotizing the crowd. The pickpockets could steal all the persons clothes on their body and they still would not notice.
We were in a town close to Gil'ead entertaining soldiers, town folk, and people passing through.
I was in the middle of setting up for the bonfire later that night when I felt eyes on me. I smirked and turned to see Aden leaning on one arms against a post the pitched a large tent. He had a hand on his hip while smirking.
"Hello Aden." I said walking up to him sharing his smirk.
"Cat." he nodded at me calling me by my nickname.
"Now what has you out here?" I said putting my hands on my hips. "Shouldn't you be helping prepare food." I mocked. He was always jealous that I didn't have to do kitchen duty. 'As a woman is supposed to' he once said before I threatened to hang him by his testicles.
"Haha." he laughed sarcastically. "I kept getting in the way apparently so they kicked me out. I came to find you for some fun." he said standing from the post. I chuckled.
"Oh? What kind of fun?" I whispered darkly. I knew what he meant.
"A little bit of that," he put a hand on my hip. "And a little bit of this." he finished putting a hand behind my neck and pulling me in to a kiss. I smirked against him as he dragged us behind a tent so no one would see us.
When I was seventeen and still starting out with the gypsies I met Aden who was a couple years older than I. He didn't know I was a virgin at the time but I felt the need to get rid of what made me pure. So I let him have me. He taught me so many different things in the sexual arts. How to please a man with just the mouth, a plethora of different positions; my favorite being when he was on his back and I was facing his knees riding him, he brought me to an orgasm and showed me how much enjoyment intercourse was.
A little bit after sunset we finished with groans and people were gathering around the bonfire that was made. I gave Aden one last kiss before changing from my cloak and dress into my dancers outfit and joined the other dancers. There were four of us. One male in blue, one male in green, one female in yellow, and me in red. The music began and we began our dance with poi. Drawing awe from the crowd.
I was used to the feeling of eyes on me but this time. A certain pair gave me the chills. It felt familiar and as if they were for me alone.
I spotted some soldiers from the empire along with hooded folk. By the scent in the air they were urgals. No one noticed for they could not smell them.
Once our dance finished it came my time to sing. So Aden and the others may pickpocket. Though it is risky to do considering how close to a prison city we are, and with all these soldiers around.
I was aided by the male dancers up the steps to the small stage in front of the bon fire. There were looks of lust in all the men's eyes. What I was also used to. A female shade naturally attracts others to them. How we get our prey. I smirked at the thought. The music began. I began to sing.
"When they all come crashing down, in mid-flight
You know you're not the only one
When they're so alone they find a back door out of life
You know you're not the only one." The moment I started to sing the crowd's eyes glazed over and they seemed to sway.
"We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
All our lives, we've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies, I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me" I used magic to toss fire around distracting them more from the others who were sneaking through the crowd.
"So afraid to open your eyes, hypnotized
You know you're not the only one
Never understood this life and you're right, I don't deserve
But you know I'm not the only one
We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
All our lives, we've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies, I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
Don't look down, don't look into the eyes
Of the world beneath you
Don't look down, you'll fall down
You'll become their sacrifice
Right or wrong, can't hold on
To the fear that I'm lost without you
If I can't feel, I'm not mine
I'm not real-" I was interrupted near the end of the song by a woman screaming. My attention was drawn to the hooded urgals. Affrica our most recent addition had been caught and stabbed by one of the hooded urgals. I made my way down the steps and with a sweep of my arms the people parted and a wind gust revealed the urgals under the hood. Though I remember there being seven of them not six.
An arm wrapped around my waist.
"Caught you." a voice whispered harshly in my ear. I chuckled. I grabbed his hand on my stomach and twirled as if we were dancing.
"Well well Durza, four years to catch me. Im disappointed. I thought it would take you a month or two." I mocked while lightly dancing circles around him teasing him. The crowd kept their distance around us. Afraid of the Shade that had now pulled down his hood revealing his crimson hair.
"I was busy." he said throwing his cloak to the side.
"Too busy for little old me?" I said holding the tips of my right hand fingers to my chest while tilting my head with a smirk.
"Cat? You know him?" Aden asked pushing through the crowd.
"Of course I do. Who do you think gave me this mark." I put a hand on my covered shoulder smirking. Aden's eyes widened.
"You told me he was dead." Aden said frightened.
"I said I believed he was dead." I corrected him.
"And who is this pathetic little miscreant?" Durza asked angrily.
"Someone who occupied my time while you were too "busy"." I answered before giggling. Durza's eyes widened with fury and grew even more red.
"Really. Hasn't anyone ever taught you not to touch someone marked by a shade?" Durza asked Aden. Aden turned and tried to run. Durza just sighed and lifted his hand which lifted Aden in the air. Struggling to free himself from invisible bonds Aden grunted while Durza put him at the center of the circle.
"Let this be a lesson to all who touch my Hecate." Durza said before clenching his hand with a hiss. Aden gave a loud grunt before he was crushed. The crack of his ribs caused nearly everyone to flinch before fleeing. I stood still with my hands on my hips smirking as chaos erupted around me.
Durza took slow steps to me.
"And now my dear, you are coming with me." Durza said holding a hand out, as if he were asking but I knew better. I chuckled again and grabbed his hand and wrapped my arm in his as if he were escorting me to a grand ball. I snapped my fingers and my cart that remained packed at all times came from around a tent, that was in the midst of being taken down, and began to follow us. My ram and sheep had died a year ago and my chickens were stolen so all I had were the mare and stallion and new born colt.
"My things." I said to Durza when he glance behind us.
"So where to Durza?" I asked.
"You shall call me Master. Only when we are alone may you call me Durza." he said harshly. I hummed disappointed.
"As you wish, Master." I replied the chuckled. The urgals following us while grunting words to themselves.
"We are going to Gil'ead where I currently reside. Then tomorrow we will go to Urû'baen." he answered my question. I hummed then grasped his arm in a new position and rested my head on his shoulder as we walked. He glanced at me with a raised eyebrow but said nothing.
In an hour we reach the fortress of Gil'ead that held prisoners and where Durza resided. I supposed this shall be my new home too. I yawned and stretch my arms. Durza chuckled. He led me up some stairs through a dark hallway to a door with a gargoyle knocker on it. With a wave of his hand the door opened to a room full of furniture in red and black.
"This is the room you shall share with me. Rest for now I shall get you in the morning." he said before turning to leave.
"One more thing." he said turning around with a finger pointed in the air. I raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, master Durza?" I asked smirking. He chuckled before slamming me onto the bed and climbing on top of me. He held my wrists by my head and began to kiss me harshly as if he were a desert man deprived of water finally drinking. He pulled away and chuckled.
"Never make me chase you again." he said while stroking my jaw with the back of his clawed finger.
"Of course." I said then giggle. "But you can't deny you enjoyed the chase." I said smirking. He chuckled before standing up and leaving the room to a separate door I assumed was his study. With a snap of my fingers I changed into a black nightgown before curling up on the silk red covers. I fell asleep in a moment.
R&R hope you enjoyed it! Outfits and pics are on my profile! The song is "The Only One" by Evanescence.
