Chapter 4
We walked down the long corridor, our footsteps seemed to echo
through the corridor and pound into my ears. We at last made it to Vahn's
room, Merle, being the last in closed the door behind us and gave me a
wink as I took a breath and retreived the package from under the bedside
and handed it to him.
"I know I didn't wrapp it that well bu-" he pressed a finger
to my lips as I ceased talking he looked me in the eye.
"Stop making excuses for yourself," he said as he took his finger
from my lips and turned to the package and pulled the peice of rope easily
out of it's knot and the wrapping fell away to reveal an sword. An sword
I had made from the best metal, that I had to supply of course instead
of paying my life in money for it. The black dragons hide shealth had the
Kindoms eblem sewn onto it, he unshealthed it as he stood swinging it
lightly through the air to test out it's balance from the look he gave
me I guessed it was just right. Shealthing it he walked up to me and envoloped
me into a warm hug, by this time I had knowdiced Merle discreetly slipp
from the room.
"Van...I have .. one more gift I would like to give you.." I
said as he pulled back a bit from the hugg and looked at me, waiting for
me to continue. I took a step towards him and as we hovered, bodys close,
the heat from his body radiating onto my own. "One kiss, filled with the
love I have for you.." I leaned in as I captured his lips with my own.
I felt his body tense at the new sensation but instincts carried on as
his hand went around to the back of my neck as he seeked entrance, his
tounge running along my lower lip and I let him in quickly, hands slipping
around his waist.
Just then the door opened and both stopped heads turned toward
the door, Derek stood there an smug smirk on his face. "Young sire, I did
not expect this-"
"Nothing is happening," he said as his body slid from my embrace,
leaving me to feel cold...alone. I looked as they stared each other down
then excused myself hastily quickly going through the ballroom, up the
grand staircase, and into the main entrance way; both Tasha and Tanya had
left and would meet me at our home. A hand came out and grabbed my wrist,
sending me to a startling stopp as I looked into the eyes of Allen Schezars
cousin, who I had learned from Vahn, was called Alex.
"You know he can never marry you.." he said harshly looking into
my eyes as my own boared into his own in confusion.
"What?" I heard my own voice asked as he looked at me smugly.
"He is to marry of royal blood, that is what they say...plus,
he was also promised to another Earth girl...her name was..Hitomi I beleive,"
he said as I felt my heart racing, my breath quickening. "Oh yes.." he
said as he looked at me, "that necklace that he wears is the one she gave
him, she said she would come back but sadly," he let go of my arm, but
I made no move," she never did. He only feels drawn to you because
of certain things, the necklace, your origin....He only wants you because
he sees Hitomi in you...he never truely loved you." I felt my eyes water
as I back away from him, shaking my head in disbeleive as then the tears
spilled over, running down my cheeks as I felt my body shudder...
"Anne?" a questioning voice came from the dorway..it was Vahn.
"what's wrong?" A quick glance around the place told me Alex had disappeared,
by the time I looked back Vahn stood infront of me and as he reached out
to touch my shoulder I jerked away at his touch as he frowned.
"Don't....Don't touch me..." I said my voice breaking a few times
as he looked to me, confusion raced into his vision. "Just stay away!!
Ask Alex if your so confused about it!" I screamed as I took one stepp
out of the door, white wings emerging from my back but now an silverish
color, a few feathers drifting around me and catching the glares of the
erie moonlight as I pumped my wings and it sent me shooting into the sky
among the stars. I didn't know how long a flew but I ended up in the middle
of an forest...who knows where...with who knows what lurking in every shadow..
