Chapter 7

THE MYSTERY ABOUT HIM 👤🔥

(Far From Earth).

.

Just when I was about speaking to Kyle “

A trumpet blew, somewhere on the slopes beneath us. It was abrupt and ragged, as if sounded in warning. Before I could speak or move, he was on his feet, his dagger out, slapped up from the sheath on his thigh. It was only a hunting knife, but in his hands it would be enough. He stood poised, utterly still, listening with all of his half-god senses." Then he said, "Is time for the sacrifice."

On his way out of the room, I asked "Who is going to be killed?".

His jaw tightened. "I don't know"  he answered stiffly. He lingered a little before leaving

When he came back, he was wearing a frown. "Hermione is angry" he said.

Hermione, the little old Priestess who predicted my name by sniffing at me.

"Why is she angry?" I asked.

He said nothing.

"Is it anything concerning me?

He sighed heavily "Not directly, she was angry that I broke a rule. I wasn't supposed to let you get laid" 

"Where they planning to use me?"

"I think so" Kyle said.

"I'm glad I got laid" I said, matter-of-fact.

"You're glad?" Kyle asked. His eyes shimmer in the dark room.

"Yea. I'm glad. I would have been dead if..."

"I'm not talking about that!" He snapped. I was taken aback for a while. 

In my most quiet voice, I asked "What then are you talking about."

He hesitated as if trying to put the words together.

"Where you glad that...uhm...Did you enjoy it?" I saw the tightness of his jaw as he asked.

"The guy was strong and he handled me well." I said.

His face turned red.

"Don't get angry. I wanted you but you rejected me and brought someone else." I said.

"Whoever said I don't want you" He asked, walking close to me. 

I took two steps backward "You...you .."

His steps were slow and stalking, like a Panther.

"I wanted you desperately but I know I'll hurt you if I ever tried it."

We were an inch away from each other. His breath was on my face.

Then he was leaning to kiss me when the door opened.

We both flinched. 

King Odysseus stood at the Threshold of the room, looking at us in shock.

"Alec!" He called out to his son.

The Prince bowed slightly. "Your Honour."

King Odysseus wasn't pleased. His eyes were darted on me. 

"What is she doing in your room?" 

"She's serving a punishment." answered Kyle.

"In your room?"

"Yes, My lord." He said bravely.

The King waved a finger at him "Whatever you do. Remember that.

.."

"I know Dad!" Kyle interrupted. 

The king grunted "Meet me in my chamber"

..........................................................

Kyle came back, looking sick. 

I scanned his face to make sure he wasn't in a vampire state.  

When I was sure he wasn't, I walked up to him and embraced him.

"Tell me, My Prince. What hath the king said to you"   No one taught me, but I'm slowly learning the language of the tribe.

At my embrace, he collapsed weakly on my body.

I was crushed by his weight. We managed to fall on the bed.

"Kyle...tell me. What's wrong!" I asked, almost crying. 

It was strange that I've fall in love with a boy who I don't know much about. In a place where I'm not sure exist in the world.

Sometimes, it seems everything is a dream and I'll wake up soon to see My Dad and Grandma staring at me. To see Charles' laughing at my face, exposing his perfectly white teeth.

To see Molly and Kathy filling me with stories about the latest happenings in Zee World. 

But here I am, stuck in a strange world, falling in love with a prince who is a Vampire, craving for blood.

Kyle slept on my body, his weight fully on me and the sound of his breath filling my ear. 

I felt his hardness on my belly, though we didn't indulge in any erotica avenue.

My Eyes were open the whole time. When at last he opened his eyes, he jerked back.

"Good morning my Prince" I said.

He knew I said it to ridicule him, cause at that moment, he looked nothing like a Prince. His hair was tousled,  his tunic was rumpled. His mouth was a mess as dry spit ran down from the corner of his lips to his jaw.

"What happened yesterday" he asked, not smiling.

"You left with the king and came back looking depressed." I blurted out without the least hesitation.

"Oh!" He said, more like an angry scoff.

"Do you mind telling me what__"

"I'll be leaving this kingdom sooner. I'll be going to Earth" he said sadly.

"Really?" It was a shock to me.

He nodded. His jaw was tight.

"Is this supposed to be a good news or bad"

"Bad!" His answered came so sharp and aggressive, making me flinch.

"Is worse than a bad news. I'll be going there for a mission. The king said that theirs someone born of a god who lives in the earth. He's very powerful and he'll come back to this Kingdom more powerful. He'll kill people and take the throne if not defeated.

And the only way to defeat him is by giving him a surprise visit on earth. Then kill him in his sleep." Kyle explained.

"How dangerous is he?" I asked.

"I can't tell"

We were silent for a while. "If you want to go. I'll like to follow you" I said.

He casted his eyes on me.

"Exactly. That's what I wanted to hear from you." And fir the first time since today, he smiled.

..........................................................

Hermione wasn't pleased that I'm the one accompanying the Prince to the strange land; Earth.

King Odysseus too, wasn't pleased. So as other kinsmen in the palace.

Kyle assured them that it'll be better if I come, since I know the ways of the earth.

After much deliberation, the King asked me; "Did you wish to go or you were forced by him to..."

"No one forced me. It is of my own free will to assist the Prince in the war to come." 

The king was pleased with what I said.

He ordered us to kneel before him, then Hermione came over and poured liberation on us.

"Go and Come back with Victory"  Those were the last words that was said to us before we vanished to earth.
