All Chapters of Stone Born: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

    “Okay. You said you’d never lie to me. Why tell me that you’ve waited 700 years for me?” I asked him, giving him a glare. If looks could kill, he would have been dead in that moment. “It is… Complicated. I am not lying to you, I did wait 700 years for your arrival.” He said, simply. “How old am I?” I asked him, not sure if he knew. “Nemesis, you’re not supposed to ask about a lady’s age.” He said, jokingly. I huffed at his answer. “If my parents were fae royalty, why did I grow up in the human world?” I asked, wanting real answers to my questions. “Your parents were NOT fae royalty. However, the power that your tribe possesses can save the whole fae race.” He answered bluntly. “I was told that they- YOU WERE TOLD WRONG!” He interrupted before I could finish my statement. “Anyone other than me, who states that they are fae royalty, are ly

    “Was it Alexander?” I asked her, hoping that I didn’t already know the answer. She nodded. “His son Declan tried to claim saol gra, but the prince had already claimed you. He felt the bond the first time he was in your pregnant mother’s presence. “There was a whole trial after your parent’s deaths. Declan tried to make his claim to the fae high council, which is the only higher power that the royal families answer to.” She started. I nodded, urging her to continue. “The council temporarily denied the both of the claims, stating that both of them had to wait until you matured to lay their claims, and that you would be bonded to whomever you felt the connection to. You were supposed to go into protection, so you couldn’t be swayed either way, or succumb to magic to sway you. Alexander kidnapped you before you could be taken into that protection."    I could feel the te

Gideon sighed, and tried to usher me down another hallway. "Let me just do my thing.: I told him, frustrated, and wanting to explore more. "You don't know what memories this castle holds.... For more than just you." He admitted. I looked at him, seeing the sadness in his eyes. "We lost our King and Queen, their heirs, the rest of their whole tribe the day your parents disappeared. There are rooms in this place that I'll never enter again." He stopped to look at me. I tried to be interested in the paintings on the walls, then shifted uncomfortably. "What do you mean, 'When they disappeared?' My parents were killed." I asked him, then informed him. I shook my head, I could never get a clear answer out of anyone. "Nemesis, who told you that your parents were killed?" He asked me, a serious look in his eyes. "Pretty much everyone since this whole thing started, and I found out that my 'parents' aren't really my parents." I told him, continuing down the never-ending hallway. "They were ne

"Nemesis?" I hear again throught the wall. I didn't answer, I was too tired, and too scared to bother with the voice. I shut the drawer, and left the room. I needed to find Gideon. I went back down the hallway to the ballroom. "Nemesis?" I heard coming from the hallway. I kept on moving, looking for Gideon, and trying to get away from the voice. I could hear footsteps behind me, so I started running. I didn't know where I was going in this place. Without my memories, it was a huge maze. I just kept running. I was about to make a turn, and was snatched into a room, by a stong pair of arms. I fought back, and tried to struggle. "Princess, it's me. Calm down, OW!" I realized it was Gideon as I spun around. "I'M SO-" I tried to apologize as he put his hand over my mouth. He put his finger over his lips, indicating me to be quiet. He pulled me over to what looked like a closet, and popped open a secret compartment in the wall. He turned around and sprayed some kind of musky smelling spray i
