And review
Amir's father had finished the last bite of the rug. His father was by far a most exceptional carpenter. He had spent countless hours and nights working on one rug in particular. The magnificent piece was to be a gift to honor their great high priestess Krishna. It was with great pride Amir carried the article to the temple.
Upon approaching the temple guard he bowed. "I have come to delivery this to the Priestess. I am Amir Son of –"
"I know your purpose." The guard retorted. "High Priestess Krishna is busy, you may take the –" He paused casting a sour glance to the item. "Take it to the garden."
"Of course." He bowed. He would of gladly followed the his orders, except he feared the rug would be forgotten or get dirty in the garden. He by chance spotted a young maid carrying oils into a room. He followed after her.
"Miss! Miss!" The maid clad in blue silk was whirled around a look of shock on her face. Amir realized he had walked into a bedroom. Or at least that is what he thought it was. A young girl also in blue sat in the corner her hands frozen on her harp. Jewels decorated her forehead, her dark eyes locked on Amir. Only Ten feet in front of him was a large bath. The pool of water was deep blue and glittered in fire. In that very same path was a rather pretty young woman. Inn realization Amir hit the floor dropping his precious rug. His forehead touched the cold floor and fear slowly sank in.
"My lady please forgives me I did not know!" He felt utterly stupid.
"Stand up please." Her voice was quiet and small. Not like the mighty priestess. He obediently stood.
"But you're not the priestess!" The words seemed to through themselves out of his mouth. The maids quietly giggled.
"No!" She laughed slightly. "No I am not." She smiled happily. "How could you tell?"
"Your hair is the color of the sun my lady." Again they laughed.
"My, my, my, the words simply fly from your mouth don't they Amir?" She stood up; Amir turned his face away from her. The maids dressed her in beautiful white silk.
"I am sorry I- how did you know my name?" Amir relaxed sensing she was pleasant in nature.
"Oh, I just know." She approached Amir swiftly. She admired him quietly still with a smile. He was tall perhaps 6 feet. His hair was messy but short. His face was strong, slight stubble, but a baby face still. He was twenty-three years old by her guess. He was handsome and most desirable.
"Who are you?" He asked nervously. She touched his bare torso with her fingers longingly. She brought herself near to him and whispered into his ear, "You dropped your rug."
He stumbled back a bit to recollect himself. "Maids leave us." The young girls ran out quickly closing the only door behind them.
"You are beautiful Amir."
"Thank you my lady." He smiled sweetly up at down at her. She was smaller then him by far.
She approached him slowly. "You need a bath." He voice soothed him. Her words were playing in his mind. Her fingers were on him again. He loved it.
He couldn't control himself, he felt overwhelmed. He had no true recollection of the events. He only remembered being in the pool with her. The feeling of wanting her, and pushing himself deeper in her burning within him. She'd say his name and he'd push himself harder. Her kiss was like poison to his body, only spreading deeper inside him.
The doors of the room burst open startling the couple who were resting on the big burgundy bed. Two maids rushed into the room towards the young women. "My lady! My lady! Quickly!' The two maids ripped her from the arms of her lover, and placed a robe around her naked body. The man partially clothed reached for her.
Three women stormed into the chamber looking rather enraged. " Look at the little whore!" She pushed the maids protecting the girl out of the way and grabbed the girl by the collar. "Impudent child! When shall you learn?"
"Krishna! Release her!" The tallest of the three wore a dark purple komodo. Beside he a women in warrior attire stood in silence. "Sisters we have pressing matters to attend to! Dispose of the boy if you will Krishna. Miko, Mena come with me."
"No! He didn't do anything it was me, do not punish him Oyu!" Mena threw herself to Oyu's feet. Amir hovered frightened by the bed. The maids and Miko dragged Mena out of the room. Oyu nodded at Krishna before departing and once again closing the door.
"Please high priestess." Amir felt the air grow colder and shivers cascaded down his spine.
"Mena must have seen something in you. She deserves to be punished constantly disobeying orders! Buy she is to precious to Oyu. Lucky for her, unlucky for you." She flew towards him locking him against the wall. Her eyes were demonic and fangs grinned at him.
Mena heard him scream from Oyu's office. She couldn't explain what had happened, she just felt guilt. It was a shame, he was beautiful. Mena sat down across from Oyu's desk, still half naked. Mena glance outside, she had lost track of time, night had set in hours ago.
"You said there was business."
"Mena, it will happen now and again emotions will take control of you."
"Oyu! You said there was business." Mena's guilt was heavy.
Oyu threw a photo and a file to Mena. "Her name is Star Chamberlain. We have been covering her since birth. The queen thinks she has a pressing role to play. I other words, Star has a unique gift. I am myself unsure of what it is, only that we must convince her to come with us. We leave for Santa Carla tomorrow night"
"Oyu why do you insist on keeping that intruding brat around? She does everything in her power to put us at risk."
"Krishna did it ever occur to you that maybe she who'd serve useful in the not so distant future? Mena is a rarity. It isn't everyday you come across a soul not fully allowed in its demon state. But with that aside, she is after all David's precious little sister. I can make the assumption that he still views her as that innocent teenager that he had left in our care."
Krishna grinned remembering Mena's once fragile state. " What is it that you are hoping to accomplish?
"Revenge my sweet. Were David lingers, Max hovers close by."
"And what of this Star?"
"What about her? She's bait Krishna. She's key in my visions. Max has established a new family of childe. He seeks a new female, a mother figure. Star is linked to both parties. She'll bring down the destruction of David and his lost." Oyu bite her lip, "I'll take care of his new family."
"Mena?"
" After the rest of her little family is gone so will be the rest of Mena's heart. She be within a demon's embrace and I can strike. For two long have I been only half dead, with her blood running in my veins I will be unstoppable. Max will come back to us; he is after all your father."
The silent assassin Miko stood motionless against the door. She had never trusted Oyu let alone liked Krishna. Her vampire senses had been correct to identify that the two both shared a connection. Miko had been there the day Mena came to the temple. It was strange that her two companions were vampires and she was not.
Miko entered Mena's room quietly closing the door behind her. The two servants, Lavender and Lenne Mai were sleeping on a large sofa near the fireplace. Mena was sitting on the bed gazing out the widow.
"I don't know what came over me Miko."
Miko remained silent as she walked over to the window. Her leather boots clicking on the tile.
"It's like I wasn't in control. I am scared."
"Oyu and Krishna are using you.
"I know. I'm leaving for Santa Carla tomorrow."
"What are you going to do?" Miko crossed her arm and closed her eyes. "Unless you embrace what you can do, you'll lose."
"Miko are you with me?"
Miko nodded her eyes still closed. "I made a promise to David."
