The Dark One and Prince
The sun began to sink behind the horizon when I jolted awake. "Young one," said a male voice softly.
"You must be Mikhail." I yawned, my hazel eyes looked up into dark obsidian eyes.
"Yes." he confirmed.
"Where's Gregori?" I asked.
"Right here." a melodic voice replied, revealing a large male with slashing silver eyes.
"Oh. Lucian told me you were coming. But I have to say that I cannot leave." I stated matter-of-factly.
"And why's that?" Mikhail asked.
"I can't leave him here unprotected." I said motioning at the sleeping hunter.
"Zacarias will be okay on his own." Gregori stated uneasily.
"Zacarias? As in Zacarias De La Cruz?" I asked excitedly.
"Yes. Did you not know?" Mikhail asked with curiousness.
"No, I saw him greeting the dawn and I couldn't let him do it. Well, when I first saw it, I didn't want him to be alone, but when I saw him saw him, I couldn't let him die." I confessed as four more hunters came.
"Keelyn, are you stupid?" asked a familiar voice. I looked to see the other De La Cruz brothers.
"Just dropped on my head a couple of times," I attempted to joke, when Manolito reached me.
"Do you realize what danger you put yourself into?" he scolded.
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't let him die." I said sadly looking over at the sleeping Zacarias. I couldn't help but think how peaceful he looked.
"What do you mean?" Nicolas asked, trying to push in my mind.
"Please don't do that." I asked rubbing my temples trying to rub the piercing pain away. "I have visions, and I saw him greeting the dawn. I wanted to be by his side, you know because he was alone. Then when I saw him, I had to save him. It was like I was drawn to him," I rambled, wringing my fingers. Soon I was wrapped in a soft hug.
"It's okay sweetie," said a feminine voice. I looked up and seen Colby. Though they said it was okay, I still felt bad. He wanted to end his life, if it was true of who he was, he deserved to have a choice, and I took it away.
"Why don't we go back to the house and talk about it," coaxed Mikhail.
"Okay," I agreed hesitantly. "But first, can I have a moment alone with him? He's asleep, so it's not like I'm in any danger."
The hunters looked at one another worriedly. "I'm not sure that's a good idea," Colby said.
"Please. Five minutes." I plead. "You guys don't have to be far. I just want a moment. Please."
Gregori snorted and said, "five minutes, and we'll be right outside."
I watched in wonder as the six hunters and Colby walked outside the cave.
