Chapter 9 Saorise

The dream started slowly fading in, first I saw the red glow of the sky of my new world with the dark flickering shadows of the souls, more faded in and I noticed that I was chained to a tree my back pressed to the ruff wood. The cold metal was biting into my wrists, my vision sharpened from that dream like haze and I could see Teige, fighting thousands of pale glowing souls, he was in his true menacing form. So much taller, his muscles bulging and those small horns on his hairline showing and with each whirl or timely thrust of his sword I saw a flash if his wicked incisors that had lengthened. The souls crept closer and closer there claws slashing and cutting him but the small wounds healed but not before some of his silver blood escaped. My heart clenched painfully and I gasped unimaginable fear over taking me at the thought of his possible death.

A particularly disfigured soul stepped forward and while my dream man was distracted by another soul, dragged its claws across his back cutting him deeply his silver blood flowing and soaking his battle armor. I let out a scream when he stumbled with a shocked expression, trying to step forward and help I scraped my back and hands against the tree. Another stepped forward but this one looked more sinister it had a face like a bores its long tusks protruding from its bottom jaw and its small eyes flashed insanely it was large almost as tall as Teige. I gasped tears straining down my face when it gave a grunted order and a large group jumped up and grabbed Teiges arms five or six of them on each side of him. Struggling to keep him constrained when Teige tried desperately to free himself but the large bore headed one placed his hand on Teiges shoulder and plunged his hand straight into his chest and his silver blood gushed out and Teige screamed his head falling back and the bore headed Shawostyx leaned forward and said something to him and then gestured to me. I saw Teige freeze and lift himself slowly and his gaze connected with mine as he screamed one ancient Shawostyxion word at the top of his voice. The souls started to convulse and, shrieking as bits of there bodies stripped into small pieces and they vanished. I felt my chains loosen and everything went deathly quiet as Teige collapsed. I shrieked and ran towards him, repeating his name over and over as my dream faded.

I sat up with a jolt my heart pounding, my face tear streaked and my throat raw and dry. Starring blankly I replayed the scene over and over gasping in horror. I jumped when I felt a hand curl around my shoulder gently pulling me back. My terrified gaze locked with his violet soothing gaze. He was laying next to me his eyes searching my face.

"It seemed so real!" I whaled, collapsing onto him hiding my head in his chest and he propped his head up and I felt his hand in my hair slowly untangling it, forgetting that I was meant to be mad at him.

"What seemed so real?" He asked softy and I could hear his voice rumble in his chest.

"My dream," I mumbled and he chuckled.

"If you want it to be real so badly, I am sure we can make some arrangements." He murmured and his hand trailed up my thigh. Shivering in delight, I shook my head and lifted my head so I could look into his eyes.

"Not that kind of dream," I blushed as his heated gaze. " I dreamt that you died," I mumbled and his gaze softened an he pulled me closer tucking my head under his chin. After awhile I began to feel awkward I had just told him that the thought of his death bothered me.

Why was Teige acting like this, what could have changed the way he used to act around me and most importantly how did he get in my bed? I wiggled away from him, ignoring his confused glance.

Without saying a word I walked to my cupboard and closed the door. Taking off my sleep wear and pulling on one of my many simple brown dresses.

I walked back out again after I had brushed my teeth and splashed my face with water. I noticed that Teige was watching me with an odd look in his eyes they had softened and it… That expression I had only ever seen it in my dreams before. Shaking my head my at the ridiculous thought, I picked up my brush and started to comb my hair. When I was finished I let it fall wanting the safe curtain it provided to hide behind.

"Saorise, today we are going shopping as you will no longer need those dreary dull garments." He stated and I frowned, isn't the brown outfits an indication of my slavery.

"And when you get back, I have a few very important issues to discuss with you." He finished and before I could react he was out of my bed and pulling me towards him. I thought, I heard him gasp when our hips banged together with the force that he had bragged me with, but I ignored it, convincing myself that it was just a reaction before he transported us.

I blinked my vision slowly returning to me, all I could see was the dark grey shirt that covered Teiges hard chest. I resisted the urge to breath in his safe masculine scent but I failed and it washed over me making me light headed. Teige started to speak in a language I did not understand. I tried to step away from him, curious to find out where we were but he resisted. I tried again and this time I felt him remove his hands from around my waist. I looked up to see that we were in a large room pilled high with various fabrics and garments. There were rows and isles of rails with dresses and accessories; I groaned shopping is my worst nightmare. I turned back to Teige pleadingly but he just shook his head and pointed to Lazarus, who had appeared next to Teige. I groaned and Lazarus excited smile broadened.

"Come on sweetheart, lets make you all pretty," He winked and grabbed my arm linking it with his and dragging me towards the piles of clothes. I glanced behind me, shooting Teige a panicked glance. He just looked back, a slight glint in his eyes.

Lazarus shoved another dress into my changing room and I resisted the urge to scream, he had been like this for the past few hours. Picking up dark blue dress, sighing I fingered the soft fabric before pulling off the long scratchy pale pink dress off and slipped on the dark blue dress. I turned to the mirror, the blue dress was short with many slits up and down my sides and with a low cut v neckline. I fingered the material uncertainly.

Surely this much skin on sow should be illegal. Lazarus rapped on the door impatiently so I stepped out, glad that I have my hair down so I can hide behind it.

"Dam sweetheart, hey grumpy get a load of Saorise," Lazarus said with glee. I looked down at my feet a blush spreading across my cheeks but my curiosity got the better off me and I looked up to see Teige straighten his gaze glued on me. I blushed, a darker red at the intensity of it. That same irritating broad smile spread across Lazarus's face and he clapped, pulling me towards the large floor to selling mirror that was nestled in the corner of the small changing area room but not before he shot Teige a wink. I stifled a giggle my mood changing with Lazarus's infectious light heartedness. He wriggled his eyebrows at me and then looked pointedly at me then at Teige and back. My eyes widened in realization, of course that was what this was for to see Teiges reaction. Lazarus gaze me a knowing smile. Teige moved forward his gaze still on me, with out looking away he handed Lazarus a black pouch that jingled.

"Buy everything that she liked, including this. I am afraid, Saorise and I must leave… immediately." He said gruffly, I gulped when he wound his hands around my waist and pulled me against him I could feel a rather hard something cushioned against my stomach.

He transported us straight to my bedroom and before I could react his lips were crashing down hungrily upon mine.

I moaned softly, letting myself get lost in the feel of his lips meshing against my own. How his hot tongue rubbed against mine making me light headed and his hands that roamed around my waist making my skin zing with electricity. I gasped when he pressed himself tighter to me, pressing his erection to my stomach and biting my lower lip. I froze for a second unused to the sensations running wild in my body as he kissed down my jaw and bit my shoulder. He affected me so greatly like a chemical running wild in my body it was overwhelming; it was too hot, too…, too much, to soon. I pulled away, my hand going to my tingling lip. I looked at Teige shocked, trying my best to not let my gaze stray to his crotch. Teige just gazed back at me, his breath coming in short gasps, I moved further away.

"Explain now," I murmured and he nodded slowly.

"Sit," He said I did, on the bed and I was too emotionally confused to think that maybe sitting on a bed with him wasn't a very good idea right now. I pushed back so that my back as against the wall and he sat on the edge watching me before taking in a deep breath.

"Saorise, I must admit that my intentions when I brought you here, were not as I made them out to be," He said slowly as though he was searching for what to say next.

"A few months ago I began to receive these flashes of images and dreams of this girl, always the same innocently beautiful girl." He said in his rich voice and I felt my heart sink, of course it could never be me, I am not beautiful.

"As the dreams progressed and became more frequent, I found myself becoming obsessed on finding her. She constantly invaded my thoughts and was constantly on my mind." I felt my chest constrict and a strong form of jealousy formed and I felt irrational tears forming in the corner of my eyes, I gulped wanting to be anywhere but here.

"I began to search for her everywhere and I was close to giving up when, I sensed the probe of a young girls mind, that looked almost identical to my girl, I was so happy, I thought I had finally found her. But I was wrong, it was her gorgeous older sister who was the one," He paused, his gaze scanning my face and lingering by my slightly damp eyelashes. I had stopped listening a few seconds earlier unable to take any more pain, it felt as though he was ripping my chest apart. He inched closer to me until he was right in front of me, cradling my face in his hands.

"Saorise, you are that one," He murmured.

Thank you, I hope you liked, any thoughts, grievances let me know?
