Big surprises lay in wait for you!!
It was so boring sitting by Kain's side all day, so sometimes I still go out into the city, but of course I'd never see Alec, either he was away, or just staying away from me I never saw him while I was out.
Of course everyone in the city knew who I was by now, even if I wore plain clothes. So I figured why not just let them know who I am. So today I decided to wear a very pretty pink dress, it was divided into the colors, dark pink, and light pink. The flowing bottom and straps of the dress being dark pink, and the stomach or corset part being a very pretty light pink. I decided to go light on the jewelry and just wore a simple silver chain with a Rose Zircon stone attached to it.
(Picture of dress on my Profile) (Oh and if you are a continuous reader, I'd just like to let you know that chapters 1,2,5,8,9,10, & 14 had been edited and there are now pictures that go along with them on my profile as well, sorry for the confusion!! --
I had also chosen a simple necklace that was made from a piece of lace that was left over from the corset strings, and on it hung a simple cross.
As I passed by a group of four men, they seemed well in discussion, and I caught a bit of their words before the stopped talking and turned to bow at me.
"Strange that Greer would just leave like that, don't you think?" One of them said.
"Yeah, but it's been a long time coming, you know it's something that he always wanted." Another said.
My heart stopped, had Alec left, oh god please no.
"Yeah, but still to go without a warning like that, isn't he worried that he may have started a scandal?" Another asked looking confused.
"Who cares?!" The final one screamed. "If any of you ninnies got a chance to live in that damn castle don't you dare tell me you wouldn't say, yes!" he said, he seemed a bit buzzed.
I couldn't believe it, Alec was now living in the castle? H-how? I was so confused.
The men all looked at me strangely; perhaps I was acting a bit odd.
"Excuse me, Sirs." I said to them. "But did I just hear you say that Alec Greer would be staying at the castle?" I asked.
"Well…um yes we did your majesty." On said, and they all bowed again. "And also, congratulations on the upcoming wedding."
"Well thank you so much." I said, and offered them a bow as well, and turned on my heel back to the castle. This was just so strange.
"Izzy, can you get me my other dress from my room, this one is just bugging me soooo much!" I complained taking off the top layer of my dress and throwing it on my bed. I walked by a mirror, and had to pause momentarily when I saw myself. My hair just wouldn't stay short anymore, if just kept getting longer, it was way too long now, but I saw no reason to cut it just yet.
"Izzy! Do you have the dress?" I yelled again.
"Sorry Mika, everything was taken to the cleaners today." Lorie said poking her head in. I sighed realizing that I'd just have to wear this.
"Hey Lorie, where's your sister I've been calling her." I said confused.
"She's down with Kain, talking to Uncle Alec." Lorie said.
"You have an Uncle?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah, on our mothers side. Anyway I have a friend over so I'll be going." She said.
Intrigued about her having an Uncle I made my way down to Kain's room, and when I reached it, I heard arguing.
"I don't care who you are Tiers! All that matters is who she is, and what's best for her!" I heard and angry voice yell. "You know who she is! You know who her parents are, why can't you just let it be!"
"Because I love her! It doesn't matter what you say, or think, and she loves me too!" I heard Kain explode.
"I will not just stand by and watch you do to her, what your father did to my sister! You've already damned the poor girl, there's not reason to make her bore your evil spawns!"
"Mika." I heard Izzy breath. I hadn't noticed that my foot was just inside the doorway, I hadn't realized that I was visible.
Slowly I turned, and faced the room, and what I saw shocked me. It wasn't that Kain was in his bed, it wasn't that Izzy was in there with him…no, the thing that shocked me most was that their uncle…their missing uncle I thought I'd never seen before turned out to be none other than Alec.
"Alec…" I said tears in my eyes. Wait a minute…tears? I reached up to touch them, and sure enough there they were.
"I've already told you, she won't stay like this, angels themselves are immortal, and they will stop aging at a certain point, as you do, but she'll never stay vampire, not like you." Alec said.
"My mother chose this life, just as Mika has!" Kain roared.
"My sister would never choose this life; she was one of the most respected angels! The only reason she stayed was because your father forced her!" Alec screamed.
"Angels…" I asked confused.
"Yes Mika, I'm an Angel, you'll find that not everything here is meant to be here, that it's not just the vampires." Alec said taking a step towards me. "You're an Angel too Mika, you always have been, your parents are both angels too." He said.
"Y-you're wrong, my parents are humans, and they,-they live back home…"
"You haven't seen your parents for a long time, isn't that right?" Alec asked. I just looked at him. "They couldn't stay with you Mika. When you were born there was so much happening in our world, mostly due to the Tiers family, and the rebel of this very monarchy being made from vampires and angels." Alec said.
"But you know now, you can never ever be a vampire, your body will no let you, you're already changing back." He said.
"How long?" I asked my arms shaking.
"How long…what?" He seemed confused.
"How long have you known that I was different, how long have you known my parents, and how long have you known that I was…all alone?" I asked. He must have known that I was all alone in my world, that I had no friends, no family, I had no one.
"I've know you since birth Mika…there's something that you should know though." He said.
"Wh-what?" I asked.
"You parents…they're here." He said.
"Don't lie to me!" I screamed turning to run from the room.
"Wait! Mika, I swear to you, have I ever lied to you Mika? Ever?" He asked my back to him.
But I couldn't answer him, because before me stood two of the most beautiful people I'd ever seen. A man and a woman. The man long short blonde hair and bright yellow eyes. Dressed in almost all white, he was so handsome and breathtaking.
(Picture of man on my Profile) Read further first though
Next to him stood a woman, he looked maybe just a year or two older than me, who had long white hair, and bright green eyes. She wore a flowing white dress, and she looked almost like me, but I had blue eyes, and black hair.
(Picture of woman on my profile) Read a little bit further though
What threw me off the most about them was that they each had a pair a beautiful white wings…they were angels.
"Mika…my baby." She said tears in her eyes, and then she leaned forward and brought me into a soft and warm hug. I was so confused.
"Arcangela, she doesn't know who you are." The man said with a small, sad smile.
"Of course she knows who I am Michael!" She woman chastened him.
I shook my head, indicting that I had no idea.
She woman stiffened, and drew back looking me in the eyes.
"Now Mika, really it hurts that you can't recognize your own mother!" She said, and I felt my eyes go wide. Then she let me go and turned towards Kain.
"Arcangela, Michael, to what do I owe this great surprise?" Kain asked.
Then man that I could only assume was Michael and my father stepped forward in front of my mother? And me.
"Tiers, we have no business with you at the moment, but we have come to take our daughter from this Godforsaken place." He said with a smile, ok that was mind of creepy.
His voice was very young, light, he sounded just like a regular young adult, it was hard to believe that he was my father, he was so young!
"Ah, Alec Greer, nice to see you again son." Michael said giving a bow to Alec.
"You highness." Alec said and returned the bow.
"…highness…?" I said confused.
"Of course! What did you think you were the Princess of?" Michael laughed.
"….Princess? I think you got the wrong girl. Besides, I don't even look like the two of you." I said matter-a-factly.
"Well you wouldn't, not until the first time you spread your wings." Arcangela said.
"Wings?" I said confused. "I don't have wings! I can barely walk a straight line, but to think of flying…" I laughed.
"You'll get them really soon, actually that's why we are here, you're due to become a full angel any day now, which means you'll be returning with us to heaven, which is why we have come here." Michael said.
"I…what…heaven, but wait isn't there god?" I asked confused, if I was the princess of heaven, then my mom and dad had to be King and Queen, but then there would have to be god. This was so confusing.
"Mika, honestly, there is no God in heaven!" Sorry to any really religious people out there!! "We angels rule there, it's like this realm, only a lot brighter, less dirty." Arcangela laughed.
"Oh." I said. "But why now? Why do I have to go back now! I'm getting married! I can't just leave!" I said angrily. Was it just me, or were Kain and Izzy surprisingly quiet and not helping me out in this situation at all?
"There will be no wedding here, no, we will not let there be another merge in the Vampire and Angel races." Michael said.
"What do you mean another? And what does it matter?" I asked, pretty sure I wasn't an angel.
"Would you like to tell her Alec?" Arcangela said her voice sad.
He nodded.
"My sister Clairebel was one of the most beautiful, and most respected angels in all of heaven, next to out Queen." He said gesturing to Arcangela. "But one day, she decided to go out into the human world…and while she was there…she fell in love. But it wasn't long before she found out that the man she fell in love with was Prince of all the vampires." He said shuddering at the memory.
"She told us that she didn't care, that she wasn't coming home, that she'd stay for eternity in this place. Years went by, and the man she fell in love with became King and she Queen, and then we were notified that a mixed had been born, half angel, half vampire. It caused uproar, and decades went by and battle went on, the goal in set was to bring back Clairebel, and kill the mixed.
"But things didn't go as planned, and Clairebel and the King ran off together somewhere. Of course they didn't go anywhere until they bore five more spawns of Satan, at the point, with my sister and her husband not in rule, and the mixes ruling the thrown, we saw no reason to invade, but to set our sights on getting Clairebel back, but we have been less than successful."
"So that's the story as it is, and as for your second question, why it matters? Well, I'd really hate to have to kill my own daughter." Michael said. And I flinched, my eyes growing wide.
"Stop scaring her, Michael! No one is going to get killed!" Arcangela hissed.
"Why would he kill me?" I asked.
"When a vampire and an angel become involved it's against everything, it's forbidden and it's punishable by death." Kain answered weakly.
"I'm glad you understand Tiers." Michael said.
Kain and I couldn't be together? No matter what? Or we'd be killed?
"Let's go back now honey, you siblings are waiting." My mother said.
"My…my siblings?" I asked, I had family?
"Well your brothers and your sister of course!" My dad yelled.
I was going home? Finally? My mother grabbed my hand and pulled me from the room.
"Good-bye Mika, I love you." I heard Kain say sadly.
"I love you too." I whispered back.
