Walking past Aimee who was holding the door for me to exit the room. I stopped in my tracks. Remembering I was wearing nothing but Viktors button up dress shirt. I had no clue as to where my clothes were and remembering that my car is back on campus. I wasn't going anywhere until I was dressed and had transportation.
"Don't worry, girl. Your clothes have been cleaned and are upstairs in the room you woke up in. I can drive you to the cafe and Viktor and I will go to the campus and bring your car back to you. Is that alright?"
"Yes. Thank you!"
Heading up the stairs and having a feeling I was being watched as I walked up. I started to go at a quicker pace and get out of sight. Reaching to top and turning to head towards the room, Viktors room. Thinking this day couldn't get any weirder. I started looking at the photos on the wall. Noticing some family pics and a few of them had this regal looking couple with a little girl about the age of 5 sitting on her fathers
Rage was all over Viktors face as he looked at the man holding me and then back to me. "Are you okay, Brenna?" he said through gritted teeth.I couldn't nod I couldn't do anything. I was stuck in the shell of my body. Not knowing what even put me in that state, but I assume its due to the ass hats on this side of the room."Oh, come now, Viktor. You should know well enough that I would do no such thing as to harm my beautiful future Queen."That's when it all clicked. This was Dimitri. This was the man responsible for my parents death and here I was at his mercy. My only hope would be that Viktor has some type of plan to get me out of this situation. Well actually US out of this situation. Hating that he is now involved and could be at risk of harm, but happy that he showed at what may have been the perfect time. Since it seems they were on the verge of kidnapping me.Practically growling Viktor replies "She will never be your Queen, Dimitri!! Never
"Oooookay. Do you realize that I am just learning about everything TODAY! I have to say that I feel like I have been thrown into some sort of alternate universe or I'm in some messed up dream. A dream of which I would like to just wake up from."She looks at me with tears in her eyes. "I am sorry, Brenna."That's when I kind of snap. Jumping up and fisting my hands. "You know I really wish people would stop looking at me like that and saying 'sorry'... Does anyone realize that's the last memory I have of my mother!?! That's the last thing she said to me before she was murdered right in front of me! This whole thing is ridiculous and I hate it!!"She looked away and I'm glad she did. Gave me a chance to wipe at my tear streaked cheeks."I knew Marissa and Nathan, Brenna. I even met you when you were little. It's much too long ago for you to remember, but we have met before. In another time I suppose you could say. Nothing seems the same anymore."
We sat there for a moment in silence. Me bracing myself for the onslaught that was about to come at me, and him...well I assume he was trying to get his lies straight. "I can assure you that I will not lie to you. What you decide to be the truth is your decision." "Okay then. Shoot." I tell him sitting back and crossing my arms across my chest. And wouldn't you know he mocks my postion before he starts to speak. "Our realms weren't so different. We got along for all intents and purposes and in some cases we lived in harmony. It wasn't until your parents, the King and Queen, decided they wanted to explore our differences. You see, the fairies and faeries differ in many ways, but where the most differences lie is in our powers. Faeries have always been able to harness our powers in certain fields and we recharged faster as opposed to the fairies. Your parents wanted to know how we did such things and in their desperation they started to take our kind and experiment. We noticed the dis
Bracing myself for what seemed to be a fight. Viktor stomped over to our table as I pulled my hands from Dimitri. Dimitri looked a little surprised, but he also looked like he understood."YOU don't touch her!!" Viktor snarled."I wasn't doing anything that she didn't allow. Isn't that right, Brenna?"They both looked at me. They both knew the answer, but seems I had to vocalize it to keep their dispute going."You both know the answer to that question." Feeling myself getting a little worked up.Viktor looks down at me and says "What are you even doing here? Is this the reason you stayed away from school today? To talk to HIM!?" he practically yelled at me and thats a big no, no in my book. I just met this man, both of them, and there is no way anyone is going to tell me waht to do.I stood up out of my chair and got in his face. "First of all, YOU do not yell at me. Second, you don't tell me what to do. Ever!"His face went from sho
They both looked at each other and answered at the same time. "Me.""Well obviously that's not going to work. May I make a suggestion? Dimitri I have spoke to you a great deal today already so I suggest I talk with Viktor later today and maybe meet with you tomorrow after school? Does that work for you?"It actually mattered to me what they both thought. Not knowing who I was supposed to end up with was one thing, but I wasn't about to piss everyone on off in the process."Sweet Brenna, if that is what you wish then so it shall be." Dimitri said.He stood and reached his hand out to me. Taking it I stood as well and he kissed my hand whispered for only my ears to hear. "I am only one call away. Say my name and I will come. Always. Be true in your endeavors and I will anticipate seeing you again." With that he truned on his heels and walked out the front door with ogre by following close behind. I really have to remember his name, it's just that ogre fits
She pulled me in closer and bent down to my ear. "The question is little one, should you be scared or shouldn't you be."Pulling away but still having that iron clad grip on my arm I looked at her sharp angled face and wide gray eyes. Which looked darker with all the dark shadow she had on. Realizing that this woman looks somewhat familiar. But surely I would have remembered someone like her, but I couldn't figure it out."Do I know you?" I asked her.She started pulling me towards the table she was sitting at and I had a feeling I was about to have another uncomfortable conversation with a complete stranger. Two in one day. Yay me."Sit." She growled as she pushed me down into the slightly padded chair.She sat down and crossed her legs then looked at me with a crooked smile on her face."You may not rememeber me, but I most definitely know who you are. And if I were you I would just sit there and listen carefully."Normally right ab
He was at my side in a flash. Lifting me up and into his arms where I was instantly wrapped up and carried over to a chair, but he didn't just simply sit me down. He sat down with me in his lap. Not really having the energy to fight it at the moment. And besides it actually felt really nice. He radiated such a warm heat that melted away some of the stress that was wrecking havoc on my body.Ogre was standing in the doorway looking equally furious. "Where is she?" He asked Rhonda."She's gone. Disappeared. But she wanted me to tell you that she made a mistake and..""ENOUGH!!" Dimitri yelled as he squeezed me just a little bit tighter. Not hurting me, but keeping me safe in his own way.He looked over to ogre and said "You will find her and you will take her to our dungeons. I want to speak to her personally. A simple apology fixes nothing and she will pay for what she has done."Ogre nodded and vanished instantly and I sat there in awe once more.
Waking slowly, struggling to open my eyes. I shifted where I was laying and noticed that I was on my new bed and across the room Viktor was seated in a corner watching over me. He just sat there tapping his fingers against the arms of the wooden chair either waiting for a response from me or thinking about what he was going to say.He leaned forward more into the soft glow coming in from the slightly ajar bathroom door. Placing his elbows on his knees he said "You are a rather aggravating woman, do you know that? Do you also have any idea how much you scared everyone down there? What in the hell happened?""I'm sorry and I don't know. I blacked out or something. Maybe it has something to do with the ruffeling and the pain I get in my head more often that not. Who knows. All I know is that I feel like it's getting worse."He stood and walked across the room to sit at the end of the bad by my feet. "Brenna, you really need to let me take you to our realm. You'll b
