2024-10-29 19:42:56It was like he flipped a switch. We were hot and heavy and then I shut it down and he turned cold. Which yeah, I haven't know him that long, but that shut down sucked out all humor all that I know about him. Which is nice, sweet, approachable. But no, his eyes even appeared darker. Like a shadow came over his soul and a storm cloud over the person I knew. And then just like that he took a moment to collect himself and he just turns to me and smiles his normal smile. But it didn't feel right. It just didn't.
"I'm good, Brenna." He said with a kind smile.
I scooted up more on the bed to rest against the headboard. "Really, because that wasn't what it looked like to me. You shut down and you literally looked different, Viktor. And if I'm going to be honest it kinda scared me."
He sat up dropped his shoulders and again he stared at the wall and I waited for some kind of response from him. When nothing came I decided I needed to just move. Get dressed and proceed on

Making sure I don't stumble down the steep steps I made it to the backdoor of the cafe. It was oddly enough locked. So, I walked around to the front and the closed sign was up.Weird. But I suppose I haven't really noted the time, but there was some sun left in the sky.Looking around for some type of clue to Viktors location and thats when I noticed him leaning against a new silver Audi...and man wasn't that a sight. The car was beautiful and so was the man leaning on it. Viktor was wearing jeans now with a white v-neck shirt and black boots. Was quite a change from his normal suit and tie.Walking over slow enough to continue to enjoying the view that was before me and also hoping that this too wasn't a dream.When I was finally beside Viktor, he took my hand and kissed it and walked me to the passenger side. Opening the door for me, I got in and he surprised me by leaning in and he actually buckled me in. I know I had the look of shock on my face, but
My Once Upon A Time Chapter Twenty Four
Standing in awe of what I was looking at. If I thought everything I seen so far was beautiful, well this just took the cake. It was a literal castle, which looked like it was made of glass. It was absolutely breathtaking. Glistening in the sunlight in all its glory. There were towers upon towers with arched windows for you to peek out into the valley we were standing in. There was even a glass looking draw bridge that was already lowered to allow us entry and at the end of which there were guards standing at attention.Feeling Viktors hand close around mine. "Are you ready, Princess?"Giving it a moments thought knowing that each step I take is getting me closer to another unknown, but knowing also this was all going to happen at some point. Even though I didn't think it was going to be so soon let alone it also being against what I had initially asked.But I find myself here in this moment torn. Mostly it's fear....maybe. I don't know. It's anotheyr big step, a

It seemed like a blink of an eye and we were standing in the middle of an abandoned warehouse. Huge contrast to the castle I was just in a second ago.Dimitri let me go and grabbed his phone out of his pocket quickly dialing a number. I couldn't here the other end of the call, but Dimitri sounded urgent."It's time. Arrange immediately for our arrival.....Yes.....We will discuss it all when I get there, but right now her safety is priority....I don't have time for this just follow the protocal and we will be there as soon as we can." Hanging up he turned back to me. I was staring at him dumb founded."What were you thinking? Do you have any idea the danger you put yourself in?""Well, no not at first, but it wasn't my fault.""How wasn't it your fault. You went there willingly did you not. After what I had told you, you still went." He was growing angry."I most certainly did not go there willingly. Viktor and I were on a picnic and th

It took not more than a moment and we were standing in a whole new world. In my eyes this realm was much more beautiful than the last. There were two suns and two moons in the sky and the sky itself was amazing. There were blues, pinks, yellows and purples all blending together to make such a sight an artist could only dream of witnessing and to lay upon a canvas. I was in pure awe of what I was seeing.Also, there was a sense of peacefulness here. I didn't feel like I was under a microscope with prying eyes from up above. Which reminded me. Looking up to the trees there were no little houses decorated with moss and flowers. No little heads peeking out and looking down at me. They were just trees, but not the typical tree. No, these trees were much more than that. They themselves shimmered with every breeze that went through them and if you listened closely it almost sounded like wind chimes dancing through their limbs and leaves.Letting go of Dimitris hand I walked f

As we walked inside I noticed everything was made of white marble. The floors, the large columns lining the whole entrance and then the marble staircase that spiraled up to all the floors that I could see. This seemed to be the complete center, the heart of the castle. I didn't see any throne like I seen with my parents castle. It seemed like this was the middle of the whole and everything could be seen from here at the bottom all the way up to the very top floor. It was something to behold, but man just thinking of walking all the way up those stairs just seemed exhausting to me and I'm not even in bad shape.Laughing Dimitri said. "Love, you do realize that you don't have to walk all those stairs? We have wings and can go wherever we want with little effort."Oh yeah. Buuut..."Lest you forget that I can't pop my wings out yet like you can.""Good thing you have me to carry you around until you can 'pop' them out."He laughs at the popping out rema

Slowly waking up I felt Dimitris absence from around my waist and opened my eyes to reach over and see if he was still in the bed."I'm right here." I heard him say from across the room where he was sitting in a black velvety looking lounge chair.Clearing my throat I laughed lightly. "I thought I said no creepy staring while I was sleeping."Getting up from his chair he walked over and sat next to me on the bed. "My apologies, my love, but I just couldn't help myself you are even more beautiful when you are sleeping. If that was even possible."He leaned down and placed a light kiss on my forehead and then more firmly he kissed me on my lips. "Mmm." Was all I could muster."Would you like me to draw you a bath?" he asked.Realizing that I didn't get to clean up yesterday and still feeling that dull ache between my legs I thought now was a great time for a soak in the tub."You don't have to do that.""I want to.

Waking up wrapped up in anothers arms is one of the best feelings in the world.I don't think either of us planned on falling asleep, but I suppose we wore each other out. I can't complain. Who could. No one in there right mind would.Again I say I have no regrets on it being Dimitri and although I wish I did know the whole story with Viktor and I do feel bad about that whole situation. I couldn't bring myself to let that hold me back from what I feel was right. Dimitri always felt right and any time that was influenced was due to Aimee andd Viktor telling me otherwise. All the while they were proving themselves untrustworthy and not at all forthcoming. Especially for people who stated they had the best of intentions.Wonder if I will ever see them again? Who am I kidding, I know I will. The question is when will I see them again.There's a lot at play and is it possible they could come here? I'm assuming yes. But will they. And then once I get to go back

After 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

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
