I'm back and have made my decision about the ending after a good night's sleep.
Enjoy
In the early night shadows of Texas, two figures appear out of thin air into a forested area of Houston. "Nikias you are free from Texas, I will take over from here." A new Carpathian, with his long black hair tied back, coming out in the open. "Thank you. Where am I off to next?" Nikias asked. "You are to go to Canada. There is an increasingly amount of murders that has reached the ears of our Prince." The Carpathian said. "Then I will leave this area to you. There are no more Skoti that I could find. If need be, call upon us. We will hear your call." Nikias said, giving the Carpathian his hand. "I will Nikias. Good luck." The Carpathian said, taking his hand.
After the handshake is done, they both disappear into the night. Nikias leaving his place, taking with him a small bag of his homeland soil, may it be with him if there should ever be a need. His welcoming soil now attached to his belt, on the opposite side of his lunastruck dirk. He starts his journey up north.
Quickly finding shelter in his nice sized house that he purchased when he felt the pull into his lifemate's dream. He knew that she was somewhere in Canada, and felt a pull directing to Ottawa. In the secluded countryside of Richhill, close by to Katana. Reaching his large hunt's cabin meant for a place to relax was with a large master bedroom. He travels down into the rather huge cellar for storing the vegetables in the winter times. The cool air not bothering the Oneri Carpathian, the wooden boards being the only thing against him and the rich soil it held. His eyes adjusting to the darkness. With his remaining strength, he pulls up some of the wooden planks laying against the soil. Slowing his heart, looking to the eyes of anyone, dead. Thank goodness no windows.
Walking in the forest of her dreams, coming to the open spaced area she felt something was off. There had to be something there, she just knew it. However, it was a familiar presence but stronger and closer than ever before. She knew what the forest felt like due to her visiting it at the end of her dream everyday. Knowing that the sun was up, she still journeyed onwards. Curiosity gets the best of her. Before taking the last step into from the sheltering forest, she takes one last breath and comes forth. A smile escapes, running to the boulder with open arms. "Nikias!" Kai exclaimed, taking one step and in his warming embrace. "Kai." Nikias whispered in her ears, holding onto her. "I have missed you dearly. It tears me up when I don't see you." Kai said, letting go.
Taking a seat on the boulder large enough for the two of them. She knew that soon she would be leaving for she could only sleep oh so much. "I to have missed you. I have moved from the States and now reside in its northern neighbour." Nikias said, taking a seat beside her. A smile comes to her face, making her being shine like the sun. "You're in Canada!" Kai exclaimed. "In Ottawa to be exact." Nikias said, taking her hand into his larger ones. Surprise shows in her eyes for a couple of seconds. "How did you know I lived here? I mean Ottawa?" Kai questioned.
Even when dreaming Kai had never asked where in the States Nikias was, nor had he asked her. However, now it was killing her, since she wanted to know now. It had been in the back of mind all the time, hidden. I knew you were somewhere in Canada Kai. I felt the pull to come to Ottawa. Just you felt the pull to Houston Texas. I lived there, you felt the pull to come to me Nikias thought. Kai unsure of her mind, thinking she'd just heard a voice pop into her head using Nikias' voice. "How did you do that? You're lips never moved." Kai asked, taking her hand out of his. "I've been able to hear your thoughts. Only the ones that you yelled or felt great emotion to when I was in the States." Nikias explained.
Shock comes to her being, along with denial. Though somewhere in her she knew it was possible. Anything could be possible with Wiccans, or so she told herself. "No that can't be. It can't be. That's not possible." Kai said, shaking her head trying to let it sink into her mind. "Please don't be afraid. I would never go into your mind, out of your privacy." Nikias said, sending reinsurance to Kai. "It's all too much to take, just like these mysterious pains that come and go as they please." Kai said, getting off the boulder to walk around. "Mysterious pains you said?" Nikias questioned, sliding off the boulder with concern and wonder. "Yes! Weird pain like someone stabbing me anywhere they wish." Kai exclaimed, turning around. This new psychic link between her and Nikias being the last straw. "Calm down sweetheart." Nikias whispered, holding her in his embrace.
Kai's struggle against him only makes Nikias more determined to sooth her with waves of comfort. The woman's heart slowing back to its regular timing and her breathing calmer. Nikias' touch calming her down quicker than anything ever had. "I just know that's not normal, even if I am a witch." Kai said, sadness in her voice, clutching his sleeves with her bunched fists. "You are normal, your gifts is special. Being able to have an open mind for me to enter your dreams without trouble for one." Nikias said, holding her close to his heart.
The darkness in him slowing down the rapid attempts of escape with just seeing her. Furthermore when she was in his arms, the beast took a step back, its growl of defeat but its counteract soon to come heard in his being. "It's not just being a sensitive to the psychic world. It's being able to create barrier to protect me from physical harm. Also the part…" Kai pausing, letting go of his hold, looking into his ocean eyes. "…The part of feeling complete with you." Kai whispered, leaning towards him, but her time in the dream world ending.
Her body started to fade away. The two never ending their embrace until Kai had completely disappeared from that world.
Awakening from the sunlight finally, Kai stretches out her limbs with a yawn. Tucking her knees with her folded arms she pondered about what she has finally said to Nikias. She had finally said in some form or rather that she needed him in her life. She couldn't now do without him in her life. Even if in the past it was only in the dream world. That was where they learned of their names and what type of person they really are inside, not only from the outside. "I want to see him, hold him in my arms for real." Kai whispered, closing her eyes to think about her actions.
Kai's mind kept replaying the night's events, all of it from the beginning to end. She'd opened up her heart entirely to him, something she had never really done. Had been afraid to ever open her heart to anyone, fearing it would be thrown around, abused. The time in the dream world had ended before she could have a response to her confession of love. Love, what was that word? How could you describe it? Even when she was with her ex-boyfriend, she'd thought it was love. It was all just a crush, something that cost her something dear to her in the end. Why didn't she see it then? It could have saved her the regret. Another reason why she'd never open her heart, if only a bit. Feeling it was just another little crush from the guy who'd saved her life. However, it felt different. When she was with him, holding each other in their embrace she'd felt like it was just the two of them and nothing else mattered. All her life she'd felt she'd be alone in her life, her friends helped to ease that pain. However, the pain of finding someone to melt away her worries, her pains. Someone that with one touch, make her blood burn with a fiery passion. When she was young it was in the back of her mind, never bothering her. Although, when she turned 18 that all changed. The link between them unburied that thought. The link unburied it, but Nikias healed it. With him, she felt complete and that she'd never be alone anymore. He is her half.
Entering back to his body from the dream world, feeling the sun's power draining his being. Having known that he would see Kai, he had taken extra caution in getting more than his fill before his journey to see her. His heart still recovering from her words, coming back to his normal rhythm. 'So she feels the same way that I feel for her.' Nikias thought, a grin on his face. Finally being so close to her, the feeling to meet her was too strong to ignore. He had to feel her body pressed against his in the embrace they held for another. Just thinking of really touching her body even with her clothes on started to make his blood burn with need, just like the first time they had shared a kiss but so much stronger. The darkness in him was demanding to take her. To make Kai his forever. He had to control the beast from within; he didn't want to frighten her when they actually met. Wishing the soil to open and cover him, his body starts to shut down for his deep sleep.
Just staying on the soil while in the dream world was hard on him, with its call in his mind. He had to keep his body awake. So when he awoke from being in the dream world, he opened the soil and began his deep Carpathian slumber.
