Miriam
I woke up feeling refreshed for the first time since Mikah had been murdered. I had a vague memory of dreaming about his last link with me and then it was all peace and electricity. I stretched, noticing the room was still full of the electric charge I had sensed last night. I glanced at the door between mine and Aro's rooms, it was closed, but he must be in there for the air to be so charged. My mind wandered back to the things Kira had told me last night as I kicked my feet over the side of the bed."Ooof" came the sound of a male voice from the lump I found myself tripping over.Arms reached up from under blankets I hadn't noticed before, grabbing me and pulling me down into an electric filled embrace. Aro was on my floor! The memory of asking him to stay with me came rushing back and my face flushed red."Sorry, so sorry"" I stuttered, scrambling away from him.I saw a disappointed frown flash across his face as he realized I had pulled away from him. He quickly rep"Oh! We're here!" Kira exclaimed. "I have orders that the Fire clan guards, and I are to withdraw a way and leave you with your own men to send your magical message to your father. His majesty felt it would be wrong for us to intrude since magic is so sacred. We won't be too far though so just yell my name when you're finished and ready to head back!"I must have looked like I had been stricken dumb as I watched her and the fire guards retreat. I couldn't believe what she had just said. Sure, clan specific magic was sacred, but no captor in the history of ever had left their captive without a guard from the captor's clan."It's clear your highness." Came the voice of one of my own men, shaking me from my stupor. "We could run if you wish your highness, just say the word.""No." I squared my shoulders, "I will send the message to my father and we will return. I am under the distinct impression that I am not actually a capti
AroI was in the middle of greeting the Princess of the Air kingdom and her mother when the voice had whispered urgently in my ear "Miriam! Go NOW!". I knew they were pissed when I flew off abruptly, but my instincts said to listen, something was wrong.I don't know what I was expecting to find, but it sure wasn't Miriam and her men being assaulted by the water. Seeing her tossed around and carried under like she was nothing sent a fear through me I had never experienced before. The only explanation I had for my ability to reach her and pull her out was a mix of adrenaline and help from the Goddess. Everything was a blur after that until we arrived back at my room.She was so pale, and her lips were so blue, I was scared to leave her, but I knew she needed to change into something dry. I had left her against my better judgement, giving her privacy to change, while
XaviarI was shocked to meet up with the royal procession just at the border between the fire and water kingdoms. Apparently, Miriam had sent her father a message through the water sprites. Whatever she said to them had them and the King and Queen in a tizzy. I was mentally flogging myself for listening to her and leaving her with that sadistic bastard the Fire prince when I felt the king place his hand on my shoulder.
Miriam"Your lungs sound clear and all of your injuries appear to be minor." Alana said, placing her stethoscope in her medical bag. "I do think it would be wise to not participate in any extraneous activities over the next few days, give your body time to fully recover. That includes sex."
Aro"I'm not sure how long I can put up with that air head, Fredrick." I said, running my hands through my hair as I leaned back in my chair.It had been a long day. I was in my office finalizing arrangements for
MiriamI had spent the last few days in the computer room trying to find anything to help me decipher the writing on the scroll I had found and successfully avoiding Aro. I couldn't find anything to put me even one step closer to understanding why my face was on an ancient document. Discovering the secrets of the ancient scroll seemed much more important than finding a way to break my fate bond with the playboy prince.
Aro I felt eyes boring a hole in the back of my skull and pulled Celeste closer to me. I knew it had to be Miriam I felt glaring and my suspicions were confirmed when I took my seat and caught her stare.She has no right to be angry, she is rejecting me!I thought returning her look with a hard stare of my own.
Miriam The desperation and need in Aro's kiss left me breathless. I could feel everything he had left unspoken, his guilt about not coming to me about celeste first, his desire for only me. It was dizzying. I wanted to give him everything and more.
