CH:5 Brother Eryn

"OMG, dear sister, don't tell me. You did all this for him?" The boy covered his mouth in shock. He came inside and sat at the office table.

"You upset dad! You moved the whole main office here... You made us all shift in this state. All this trouble for this MAN. What the hell is wrong with you?" He said. Zane saw Claire's eyes turn red. The grip on his hand tightens.

In a moment, she was with him, in the other she was grabbing the man's neck and pushing him to the wall. Zane was bewildered looking at all this... What the hell is going on?

"Eryn Damison, watch your mouth. Don't forget who you are talking to right here, I am not only your sister. But I am your Leader. And this man standing there is my love. So, if you want to live, you have to respect me and him equally..." She said applying pressure on Eryn's throat. He coughed and put up his hands in surrender. Claire let him go, he took a deep breath and then said...

"Looking at your condition, I don't think, you will be our leader of us for a long time." He is stupid or what? Zane's mouth agape hearing his words. Claire growled.

"Just shut up and leave right now..." She is very angry. Zane saw her hands curled into fists. But he didn't know how to handle the situation! Would it be wise to speak up between them? No, his mind reeled. He kept quiet.

"Sister, you are fighting with your own brother for this mortal. Out there is the Royal Best Prince's proposal for you. And you are choosing this mortal man. He would live a few more years AND then what? He will die. I know he is your love. But, there is no future for him and you. Why don't you understand!" Eryn looks frustrated.

He is talking as Zane is not even present there...

"Eryn, just, please. I understand everything if you just leave me alone." Claire said but there is no anger in her voice.

"Father has his doubts about you. But now he will be sure why did you come here? For a human. He will be so mad." Eryn said. Claire smirked.

"Do you think, I am afraid of the father? I can handle him. Don't worry about me." She challenged.

Eryn shook his head.

"No, but there are more dangerous people around us than father... Don't you forget our enemies? They will know about this mere human. And with only one strike from them, he will be gone. Puff..." Eryn said then blow out the unseen dust from his hand.

"I can protect him very well... No one will mess with mane was hearing it very carefully not to miss a single word.

"AND again my advice to you is to run away. Leave this country, and move on in your life. My sister here is gone mad. She doesn't know what game she is playing here..." Eryn said. AND Zane just nodded his head. Eryn smirked.

"Look, sister, he is agreeing with me. He just knows a little about you. Would he be able to digest all the truth of our world? Their kind thinks we are a myth. He doesn't even know, that half of their world is run by us. He will run away once again, AND..." Eryn took a deep breath.

"Eryn, that's enough. Just leave. I don't want to hear any more of your rant. It's my decision and it's final, I am not going to leave Zane." Claire said.

"Sister, you didn't let me complete my sentence," Eryn said looking toward her face.

You know my power. You know, who I am and what I can do." Claire said. A proud look on her face.

"I know, but Claire, did you ever think what will happen when your power will collide with his senses? Will he be able to bear a little of you?" Eryn said.

Now he is looking toward Zane. Zane gulped.

"He ran away from you when he just saw your reality, will he be able to survive in our world?" Eryn questioned. Claire didn't reply to him.

Eryn took a few steps and stopped in front of Zane. A look of fear covered his face. Zane can feel the sweat forming on his back and his forehead.

"Don't worry, I am not going to harm you. I can not even harm you because it's against our law." Eryn said.

Zane didn't understand. Do they have a law system? He thought but didn't mouth his question.

"I know, you didn't do anything wrong, and it's not your fault that you are in this situation. I know my sister. You took the right decision running away from her when she showed her real self to you. You are a wise man." Eryn continued his speech.

"What will happen when Dakota will know about this secret of yours?" He said. And all the colours from Claire's face washed away.

"Dakota will think, you were playing with him. Or were you paying with him? AND Sister, if Dakota will decide something, no one can stop him. Not even you... He will kill this poor guy." Eryn said looking at the shadow of fear in Zane's eyes.

"Eryn, get out..." She shouted in a warning. And her eyes start glowing red. Eryn again surrendered and he finally left the room.

"Who was that?" Finally, Zane was able to speak.

"He is my younger brother. Don't worry, he is a little over-thinker and he talks too much." Claire said in a careless tone.

"But, I don't find his talk foolish. He said things very right..." Zane said. Claire rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, I am with you. No one can even lay a finger on you." Claire said with utter co confidence in her tone. 

"Excuse me, Claire. I never said I am going to get back to you. I am not ready to take this chance. Yes, I need time to think..." He was going to complete his sentence. When she put a finger on his lips.

"Three days... And after that, if you will not decide anything, I will take you with me by force. So, think and I want an answer in three days, You can go now..." Claire dismissed him.

Zane gulped then nodded his head. Zane turned around to leave her office when he stopped.

"Who is Dakota?" He questioned. A smile appeared on Claire's face.

"Dakota is my best friend," Claire said with a beautiful smile on her face. Zane nodded his head and left her office with an immense amount of thoughts in his head.
