2024-10-29 19:42:56After freshening up I made my way back into Dimitris bedroom to find he wasn't there. Exiting the room and entering the hall I find myself still marvelling over how beautiful this place was. Everything in its place and everything having the same color scheme to match Dimitris wings. I suppose that's all due to him being the King here. Which is another thing I find myself amazed over. Not just the fact that he is a King, but the fact that he wants me when he could have anyone he wishes. Atleast I would suppose so.
Looking down over the banister and pulling quickly back. It was a straight drop down to the bottom floor. This place was definitely meant for someone with wings. I guess that's an easy way to transport if you had the means, but I don't as of yet and that's one hell of a lot of stairs to get down to the bottom. Assuming Dimitri is even down there and if he isn't I sure as hell won't be walking back up to his room.
Trying to decide whether or not I want to stay

My heart was still tight in my chest and I could feel the tears as they were drying on my face, but I couldn't think about that dream now. I had to think of Dimitri and what has happened. "What happened, Dimitri?" He stood and pulled me up to my feet. "All in due time, love. You aren't safe here right now. We need to go." Figuring now wasn't the time to start asking the barrade of questions that are pounding through my head. Besides it was then that I noticed that we weren't alone. Dimitri stood at the entrance of the knoll and I seen others behind him. Their wings making slight fluttering movements and their eyes searching the sky like they were waiting for it to fall down on them. The looks on all their faces fueled the fire of concern I had. Dimitri, clinging to my hand he lead me outside and I was completely taken aback by the sight in front of me. The sky was a dark smokey gray as opposed to the bright colors it was just earlier and that wasn't the worst part. The town off in

I think my expectations where a little too high when I expected the bath to wash away the stress. If anything while I was in there I stressed more. My mind is a muddled mess and to be completely honest I'm scared. This day started off magical. A fairy tale come true. But in no time things changed so drastically and became dangerous. I should be able to handle my own. I needed to be able to help these faeries. This is all because of my father and his minions. They want me and because I don't now how to defend myself and have no clue as to what is completely expected of me I am failing. And let me tell you I hate to fail. Makes me feel weak and I hate that.But my minds a mess and my body is in knots. What can I do? Needing answers and needing Dimitri...I slowly made my way across the dark room to the bed covered in blue velvet bedding. I curl up into a ball and for the first time I truly let it all out. I cry until I can't cry anymore. Drained dry. Despite the ache in my body and m

We stayed there for the longest time talking and he settled my nerves by reassuring me about this new ability and about what may be to come. There wasn't much else we could do at this point but wait. Plan. And educate. Because lets face it, there's a lot I still need to learn. My wings for example. Obviously there is a lot I don't know, but thats okay. Dimitri said I won't be alone in this and he will remain by my side every step of the way. Which is comforting. "So my love, first order of business is you learning to 'pop' out your wings. Think you feel up to that today?" There wasn't a doubt in my mind. "Yes! I need to learn as soon as possible. So let's go!" Jumping up from the bed and ready to go. Dimitri chuckles. "Is my little princess eager to fly?" "Umm, no. I'm scared of flying. But I'm more scared of dying and I need to do this to protect myself and everyone that matters." Standing up and walking towards me with a serious look on his face. "Brenna, I understand your fe

Still basking in our afterglow there was a knock at the door. Dimitri swiftly placed a kiss on the crown of my head and jumped out of bed. Pulling his pants up just before he opened the door. Where there stood Theo and the man from yesterday named Braxton. "What's going on?" Dimitri asked. I can see the tension that suddenly took place in this back. We both know this can't be good. Braxton stepped forward and answered. "There has been a development and we need you to come with us to the throne room to discuss our procedings." "Of course." Dimitri replied. Turning back to me he said. "Are you okay with me leaving you, love?" Nope. Nope, I was not. But I guess I really don't have a choice. Seems like I don't have much of a choice about anything anymore, honestly. "Yeah. Go ahead." I answer, but for some reason it hurt to even say it. Pulling the covers up over me to hide the fear I begin to feel. At that very moment a memory hits me. Back in Jersey not incredibly long after I

Taking Dimitris hand he walks me to the door and proceeds to take me to the courtyard we arrived in earlier."What are we doing? I thought we were going to discuss some things?""We are. Right after we get your wings to 'pop' out?""Ummm, I'm sorry, but I assumed our discussion would have to come first due to the fact that my life kida depends on it. Right?"Pulling me into his arms looking down at me with those beautiful amber eyes. "It does, but once this decision is made then I can only assume one of two things. One, the fairies back off for the time being while they switch their plans up. Or two, they get increasingly angier and come at us full force. That being said before anything is done....and darling we will deal with that. We need to ensure you can atleast pull on your magic and fly. This is crucial if and when another attack occurs."Made sense. I can only assume that if any tie is broken with Viktor, and father loses at ensuring his thr

Allowing myself to sink into the hot bath and hope it washes away the feeling I have deep in the pit of my stomach. Somewhere deep down inside I knew that my dream was real. I was seeing it without being there and I don't know how I just know that it was real. And if it wasn't...it was disturbing. I'm going to have to somehow reach out to Rhonda just to be safe and to ease my mind. Lathering up and rinsing quickly I decided that I needed to get to someone and find out if there is a way to contact the outside world. As I was wrapping up into an emerald green towel that was set off to the side for me. Dimitri opens the door to the bathroom. "Looks like I missed it." he said as he walked over to me with that familiar glint in his eyes. He walked like a lion on the prowl and I was the prey. I could be shy. I could feel vulnerable. But all I felt was empowerment. This man made me feel things for someone that I never really felt I would be able to feel. He may have knew me my whole li

Couple bruises and lots of sweat later we decided to stop for the day. I have not only managed to produce my wings, but also tucking them away and reproducing them again. Then the biggest truimph of all is I accomplished getting off the ground. Now, granted it was only maybe three feet. But it's better than nothing at all. Small victories. Lifting me up into his arms. Dimitri flew us to our room and drew me a bath. My muscles were incredibly sore. Muscles I didn't even know I had until today. I'm not only the physically exhausted, but the mentally as well. It's been another long day, but atleast I actually feel like I have accomplished something. A big something at that. "Get cleaned up, love and I'll be right back with some food for us." At that my stomach rumbled and we both laughed. "Good idea." I said as I started to undress. Clearing his thoat he slowly started to back up out of the room. I took notice and decided to play. "Oh, is this bothering you?" As I let my dress drop
My Once Upon A Time Chapter Thirty Seven
It wasn't long until I found myself in a room surrounded by old relics and artifacts. All varying in all different colors, shapes and sizes. There were many sculpures of the moon in each one of its phases. Each detailed so beautifully. There was even ones made of flowers and some were made of different color gems. They were a sight to behold. Along the white stone walls there were crowns. Each varying in style and each in their own display case with an interior light shining down on them making even the smallest of gems sparkle. There was an altar of sorts at the further end of the room. It was covered in a white silk fabric with green and white ivy vines wrapping around its four legs and acting as garland at its flat surface. There were soft white lights above the altar resembling hanging christmas lights. On each side of the table there were unlit candles. In the middle sat a ornate silver goblet and in front of that was a dagger of shorts with a handle encrusted with diamonds an

He didn't say much on the way into the cabin, but once we reached the room he said "I'll put some pillows between us so we won't accidently touch. I don't want to hurt you." Just then I really seen the torture in his eyes and I knew he was reaching his end for the day. The room was white with an queen size oak bed that had a soft yellow comforter on top with many different size throw pillows decorating it. The room was simply decorated other than the bed. Two end tables with white candles placed in yellow dishes to catch the wax sat on either side of the bed. There was a small dresser in the corner and I see there is a closet. The room had a window that looked over another garden of flowers. It really was perfect here. As Dimitri pulled back the sheets and started to make a wall of pillows in the middle of the bed I laid down on my side of the bed with my back towards the door. He looked down at me with longing. My intention is to fall asleep and try to pull him into my dream and

Right when I was finishing my second smore Dimitri appeared next to the fire. Even though he looked incredibly tired he smile that gorgeous smile of his at me and I melted."I see you're fed and content." He said."They offered smores and I couldn't turn it down. On another note, how is everything going with everyone? Any new info?"He looked over to Theo and Theo was staring intently at him. "Sir, I would like to talk to you. It's urgent."Dimitri looked back at me and after a moment he frowned. Did he read my mind and see what happened and if so what did he think?"Of course." He said and then he looked over to Theo. "Meeting place. Now."Then they both vanished. Aimee was looking over at me and I started to feel worried again. "Don't worry. He'll be back in just a minute." Then she held up the smore tray and asked if I wanted another one and I respectfully declined. Two was definitely enough for me. If I was going to eat anything again it was going to be real food. Which I wasn't u

I remained in place and I watched as Theo bent down to Aimee whispered in her ear and continued to walk over to me. "What happened?" He asked. I huffed. "Can't you just read my mind and see for yourself?" "I can, but I want to know your take on what happened." Sighing. "I'm not entirely sure to be honest. Was this dream even real?" He nodded and said "It was." "Okay. Well, I don't know what 'visiting' exactly is, but apparently I have to learn about it. My mother has an ally inside a girl named Destiny. Viktor could sense me there. But then again so could my mother. Whom of which told Viktor that my father had no intentions to save me or probably even keep me alive. And she also told him that my father has no intention of letting Viktor rule beside him." "And?" "And!? What else do you need to know? I told you everything I know." He sat down beside me on the swing. Looking straight ahead he started to swing us ever so slightly. "You were able to feel Viktors presence when he wa

As we made our way to the campsite I still remained in awe about how beautiful this place was. And looking up at the sky to think that it wasn't just a normal open view and it was magic producing a shield and what I was seeing was basically artificial. It's just crazy how things still amaze me still. I know I'm still very new to all this, but it's crazy to me that this whole world existed and I had no idea, or I should say had no memory of its existence, but noone has any idea that magic and fairies are real. And fearies...I never even heard about. People are out there somewhere living their daily mundane lives and there's all these realms around them that they have no idea even exist. Makes me wonder though if fairies/fearies are even the only real thing that has come out of all the folklore we grew up hearing. I mean...there's so many. Gnomes, goblins, witches, vampires, trolls, elves, griffins... I mean if fairies are real who is to say that the others can't be real either. I wonder
My Once Upon A Time Chapter Forty Eight
After the whoosh of cool air blasted across my body Dimitri spoke "You can open your eyes now, Love."I opened one eye first. Still fearing I would be spending more time in another cave despite what he told me. To my sudden surprise we were in anything but a cave. Opening both my eyes and turning around in a circle taking in my new surroundings. I was in awe.Vines wrapped around what seemed to be hundreds of moss covered trees that had soft pink blooming flowers on them. And all at the base of the trees laid the petals. They polluted the ground. Like natures own made flower petal bed. How nice it would be to just lay down and look up into the sky between the tree limbs.The only thing that disrupted the soft pink petals bed was a small white stone path that looked to stretch and bend to an area I couldn't see from where I was standing.When I noticed the path Dimitri reached over, took my hand and gently tugged for me to walk with him. We walked the path a good fifty feet and he neve

As I wiggled my toes and closed my eyes I tried to focus on what Dimitri wanted me to do. Create a force shield around me to protect myself. Not sure exactly how to do that. But imagination all the way. I thried to picture me standing in a big bubble, but the bubble couldn't pop. I felt the air stir up a little and my hair gently grazing my cheeks. Trying not to lose focus I imagined the bubble to be thick. As thick as my arm. Nothing can get to me from the outside. Once I felt that I had the bubble stable I dared to open my eyes. Startled at what I was seeing. I was inside what looked like a bubble. I could see Dimitri had moved closer and he was smiling ear to ear. His mouth was moving, but I couldn't hear him. Scowling I pointed to my ears to let him know I wasn't making out what he was saying. He simply nodded, but he still smiled.He walked all the way around me twice before he stopped in front of me and raised his hand to touch the bubble. I nodded at him to go ahead. Hoping bey

A little over an hour later I was bent down in front of the table with my hands on my knees wiping sweat from my brows. "I think its time for a time out." I said in between breaths.It's not so much that it's physically draining, although my muscles are stiff and trembling, but it's most definitly mentally exhausting. Dimitri was at my side patting me on the back."I think you deserve a break. We'll take fifteen and see how you're feeling and get back to it. You're doing an amazing job!"Rolling my eyes and pulling out a chair "Thanks. I suppose I should thank the teacher for not losing his patience with me when I clearly could see he was losing said patience."Laughing "I wasn't losing patience, Love. Many times you were so close and you got in your own head. You just gotta stayed focused. You have accomplished more than I thought though in such a short bit of time."There wasn't any denying that. I managed to create a flame in my hand, create wind around me to blow it out. Also, I

The sound of wings flapping and a brisk breeze hitting my face I opened my eyes and seen Dimitri standing at the end of the bed smiling. His wings fully extended taking up over half the space of cave. Making the space feel much smaller than it actually was.Sitting up I stretched and chuckled "Well, good morning to you too, handsome.""Good morning, beautiful. You ready to get to work?"Slightly frowning due to not knowing the extent of how difficult it will be to draw into this magic I apparently have, but also due to me hoping I don't fail and let everyone down. Including myself. Only time will tell, I guess.Sighing. "Yeah, I'm ready. But can I get cleaned up first? I feel kinda gross."Dimitris wings vanished and he nodded and smiled a rotten smile.Wagging my finger at him "I see something brewing in those eyes of yours. What are you thinking?" I asked."Oh, nothing. Go on ahead and get cleaned up." He all but shooed me out out of the room.Eyeing him suspiciously I got out of th

I was starting to feel like a prisoner in this damn cave. Seems like everyone can come and go as they wish, except for me. I'm stuck sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for someone, anyone to come pay me a visit. Theo and Aimee left a while ago and I have no clue when Dimitri will be back. Which is completely aggravating. We completed our bond last night and I am now permanently marked by doing so, as is he. Then we made love and it was fantastic. But then I woke up this morning and he was gone and has remained gone for some time. During such time I find out that my ex-friend isn't on Viktors side anymore. Putting her here along with myself, Dimitri and Theo. Theo and Aimee are mates...which, like, wow! And I found out that Rhonda is very much alive. Thank god! I was told that Dimitri knew all of this and still he didn't stay. Now granted, I know he is tending to his people, but he wasn't even gone this long the last time a battle occured and that battle was unexpected. Thi
