Never had I felt the way I did when his cool lips met mine. It was as if we were melding together. I felt like I was floating on clouds, a cool mist caressing me, and my heart had momentarily stopped. I didn't want him to pull away when he did. I wasn't finished basking in that glow. I wanted his lips against mine longer. I felt his forehead against mine and he was taking deep breaths, as if he were panting because the kiss took as much energy from him as running would.
"You Viper are an amazing and addictive young woman. Who,…what are you?" he whispered as he leaned in and kissed me again. "I can't get enough of your lips on mine. I want to scoop you up in my arms right now and shower you with kisses, just so I can taste the sweet of your skin." He whispered again and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Take me to bed Venom?" I asked, my whisper barely audible. He smiled and scooped me up in his arms and carried me to bed in his room. "I told you that your things were moved to my room. After all, we are destined to be wed as soon as your injuries are healed." He said and i looked at him with a shocked look upon my face. "What do you mean?" I asked him. He smiled at me and kissed my forehead. "Rest now my love. I will explain everything in the morning." As soon as my head touched the pillow I was out. I had wanted to know what he was talking about.
I woke up a few hours later, something was hurting me. I woke up and sat up. The pain was in my back between my shoulder blades. It felt like a searing pain, like my upper back was on fire. I gasped and sat straight up in the bed. I didn't say a word, but instead listened to the voices outside the door. Trying anything to get the focus off the pain in my back for as long as possible, I held my breath listened.
"Father, you were right. She is my destined. Thank you for bringing her to me. I apologize for being so immature about it. I am curious as to know how her injuries are healing as quickly as they are. She's not had any vampire blood, or any wolf blood. Something is telling me she is all together something different. Perhaps she's a Faerie?" I heard Venom's voice say to his father. Then I heard his father chuckle. I'm sure whatever she is will soon come to light.
Just then the pain became even more unbearable and I screamed out. My back felt as if it were on fire. I couldn't hold it in any longer. Venom and his father rushed in, and then stood there with mouths wide. Their eyes fixed in a state of surprise. The burning pain had finally stopped. And I sat there on my knees panting from holding my breath. I looked up at them with tears falling from my eyes, they still stood there with their faces set in shock.
"Angel…she's…and Angel," Venom whispered. His father placed his hand on his son's shoulder. "Father what does this mean?" He asked Dagger. "It means son, that you are part of a prophecy. A long time ago there was a prophecy that stated 'when a prince of darkness, and a daughter of light are found and become one, all races will peacefully unite.' My son, you are the price of night, and apparently she is the daughter of light. Perhaps you should send for her friends. Ty and Mally. They are the only family she really has." He said and he nodded then slowly approached the side of the bed.
"My darling Viper, you are beautiful." he said and reached out. I could feel something, like a tingle. "I looked over and saw what his hand was touching. A very large feathered wing, it was downy white and soft. I'd only ever seen them in pictures. I never would have imagined they would be present on my body. "I will be going tomorrow to get your friends. You need them right now. I'm sure they will find you every bit as beautiful as I do right now." He said and smiled at me. His deep blue eyes, oh I could drown in them. I smiled back and nodded. Then all of a sudden, the wings seemed to retract or lay flat. He lifted my shirt to see what he referred to as "A tattoo". I smiled and sighed. "It is going to take a while to get used to this. " I said and laid back, pulling him to lay with me. My injuries completely healed, all but one. The one on my hip seemed to be a little sore still. He asked to see it again and I agreed.
He lifted my gown to see instead of a gash, a very large, "Birth mark" as he described. He said it looked like winding leaves, or vines. He reached out and touched it. I hissed with a burning sensation. "what is that? I don't understand." I said and he reached to the drawer and pulled out some gauze and an ointment. He placed the ointment on the mark and wrapped it and taped it. "If this doesn't help, I don't know." He said. And laid next to me. His arm reaching around my waist and pulling me closer to him; the other sliding under my head, "lets sleep. I'll be at your friend's house tomorrow by 10am." He said and again, before I could ask any more questions, I was out for the rest of the night. I slept till noon the next day.
