Chapter 6: The First Kiss, and Dezir

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Krystel knew she had seen someone like Leon before. It was his father, the King. Leon looked exactly like him, apart from his height, hair, and no wrinkles!! Before she could think about him any deeper, he spoke again.

'Princess Krystel, would you like to join me for a walk?' he asked, in that oh so sexy voice of his. Krystel didn't know what to do, but she couldn't bear to tear herself away from him, (well, could you??) so she went along with it.

'I, I'd love to. Where will we go?' she asked.

'To the gardens, if you want.' Leon replied. Krystel smiled, as she hadn't seen the gardens yet, and what better way than a romantic walk through them, with the best-looking guy around!!

'Oh, yes please. I haven't been there yet.' she said as he took her hand, and led her up the white marble steps, through the double doors, down the steps and through the corridors, into the gardens below.

Hand in hand, they strolled through the orchards of beautiful flowers and trees. The moonlight gave a mystic feeling to the atmosphere. Krystel wished it could have lasted forever. The couple stopped under one of the trees with silver-white blossoms, like the one in Krystel's honey-coloured hair. Leon clasped her hands in his, lifted them to his lips, and ever so gently kissed them. Krystel's heart missed a few beats.

'You are so beautiful' he told her, putting her hands around his neck, and his around her waist. The moonlight played softly on their faces. They stood there, gazing into each other's eyes. Sea blue swirled with emerald green. Slowly, they brought their heads closer, their lips millimetres apart. Gently, they met. Krystel could taste the sweetness of his soft lips. Passionately, and lovingly, they kissed under that silver-white tree. Neither wanted it to end. Who knew that such love could come from a dance. Krystel's heart thumped inside her chest. Little did she know that Leon's was doing the same. Finally, the kiss ended, but they stayed in each other's arms. Krystel knew in her heart that she had found her true love. Never would she ever love anyone more strongly or passionately than this. There was a word for that, Krystel thought. Soul mate, that was it. Leon's voice pulled her from her thoughts.

'I hate to do it, but I must go now. But, so that you remember this night, remember me and my love for you, I give you this.' He produced from his coat a single white rose, the symbol of true love. 'At my birth,' he continued 'a draconian said to me that on this very night, I would find my true love. And now I have found you. But I must leave you now. I love you Krystel.' And with that, he strode off towards the castle, leaving Krystel standing there, staring at the rose. She didn't even wonder what a draconian was, for her head was filled with Leon. He was all that really mattered to her. As she stood there, someone else appeared round a tree opposite. Krystel looked up.

'Hi' he said. His voice was cold and hard, like ice. He was dressed in dark purple and black. A flowing black cloak swept around his shoulders, over a suit like the one King Laguna was wearing, but in purple. His jet-black hair was topped with a silver steel ringlet, embedded with a single amethyst. As he stepped closer to her, she saw his eyes were of no normal colour. They were deep, deep purple. His face was handsome, and a wicked grin was set upon it. He looked like someone who would kill for the fun of it. If he were an animal, Krystel thought, he'd be a deadly panther.

'Name's Dezir, Prince of Mauvais. How do you do, Princess' he said slyly, as he bowed low to her. Krystel still didn't understand why people kept calling her that.

'Fine, thank you, um, Prince Dezir. May I ask, what were you doing out here?' He made Krystel feel threatened, but she wasn't sure why.

'Walking. And you?' Krystel could tell he was keeping something from her.

'That is my business thank you. Now, Prince Dezir, I must be going. Pleasure meeting you.' Krystel replied coldly, got up, and started walking off. Dezir shouted after her.

'Till next time Princess, till next time.' As soon as Krystel was out of his sight, she ran. All the way to the castle. She had just decided, that she did not want to be anywhere near that Dezir. As she ran, she glanced at the rose in her hand, and smiled, remembering that first kiss.

FLUFFY!!!!!! What do you think? I promised you they'd kiss!!! I know that Dezir is a weird name, but I'll tell you why – Dezir means desire, and Mauvais means bad or evil, in French. In other words, he's the Desire of Evil. Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!! ^_^!!!
