A.N: This is a Christine Feehan Fanfic, and I do not own anything except for the characters that I made (Kai, Nancy, Julie, Brianna, Nikias…etc)
Thank you K.R for beta-reading
Moving the branch covering what her mind didn't want to see. A tall lightly muscular male with short black hair, striking blow after blow to a male with long black hair. A hiss coming from the beaten man. "Wait Nikias, I'll leave and never come back I'll go to the earth and stay there." The long black haired man said on his knees, getting up with difficulty, black oozing blood coming from the wounds all over his body. "Never Romanus. The Prince has declared that you be hunted and killed." Nikias, the short black haired man, said with pride talking about his Prince. "I beg of you. You have already passed many of our kind turning." Romanus said. "Never is never." Nikias said, speeding towards Romanus, his hand plunging into his chest and out again, now some distance away from Romanus.
Romanus looks towards Nikias, seeing the disarranged heart in his hand. A high-pitched hiss escapes from the heartless victim, collapsing to the ground. Nikias calls forth the lightning from the grumpy clouds to strike. Hitting Romanus' body and throws the heart into the air, lightning zigzagging its way to its next target. Ashes become the remains of Romanus and drift away into the breeze.
A gasp escapes from Kai, drawing the attention of Nikias to her. "What are you doing here?" Nikias said, now seeing in colour but not noticing. "I…I…. I felt pulled here." Kai quietly said, looking to the ground, her hair shielding her eyes. Upon sensing his approach, she lifts her head and sees ocean with mercury colour in his eyes. "Leave now." Nikias ordered, about to begin to erase the memory of this meeting. "I won't." Kai said, standing her ground, looking up to the tall man in her sights. "Oh, and why not?" Nikias asked, with an amused grin, lost the thought of erasing her memory. 'Amused? Where did this feeling come from?' Nikias thought, finally realizing that he was seeing in colour. "I have to wake from my dream, and I guess that since I'm unwanted, I will." Kai said, willing her mind to wake up. "No wait." Nikias said, reaching out to touch her, but only felt her arm fade away with the northern winds.
'What the hell?' Nikias thought, flying in the shape of a falcon towards his huge house, that he has lived in since he was brought to America. 'I'm finally seeing in colour and…feelings are erupting inside me.' Nikias thought, landing on his balcony, shifting back to his human form. 'I will then go and search for her. She said that she was in a dream. Could it be that she is connected to me already?' Nikias thought, walking down the steps to his sleeping quarters. "That's impossible." Nikias with his smooth voice said, opening the hidden trap door to his dark bedroom. 'I will find her.' Nikias thought, as the last breath escaped from his lungs and slept the deep sleep of his people, the Carpathians. The rich soil taken from the Carpathian Mountain, his homeland, welcoming him with open arms.
Shooting out of her sleep, Kai tries to calm her heart from slamming against her body. The touch of his hand upon her left arm felt like she was melting into a puddle. 'Nikias, that's the name. That's such a weird name.' Kai thought, laughing about the name. 'Well…maybe I should not be one to talk. Kai, just plain Kai.' she thought, and remembered the little teasing she got because of her name, and hear the laughter of her classmates when the teacher said it wrong. 'Stop the laughing!' Kai thought, a tear escaping, the pain coming back to life.
Opening her eyes, she sees her friends still asleep, a smile warms her face. 'My friends, we've been through so much. Helped one another when in need. They brightened my life since we met.' Kai thought, the smile plastered on her face.
Closing her eyes, she decides to get some more sleep for the night was almost over, and there was never enough sleep for Kai.
A heartbeat starts to pump the life giving blood in the body under the soil. Spurting from the soil, Nikias awakens. 'What was that? Why am I awake?' Nikias thought, knowing that he has just gotten to sleep. 'What was with the pain, and hearing her words?' Nikias thought, wondering about the connection again, but fails to think of anything else for sleep pressed his demand on him and he could no longer withhold it. Once again, the soil welcomes him.
Short, I know. The more reviews, the more chapters I will write.
