Chapter 10
Dark Figure
I sit in shock as I stare at the beautiful woman that is still passed out in my bed. After she caught on fire and the car went up in flames, I had to send my spirit into the car to pull her out. Once she was out in the open her flames died down fairly quickly. Once she was completely out my spirit joined my body and we picked her up and teleported her back to my place. Which was a corner of the Royal castle.
You see since I was little, I was told how I was going to be the next king yet that wasn’t something that I was all that interested in. I didn’t like my family all they wanted was money and power and to make sure that nothing and no one took what is ours. The problem being that we didn’t get this position by any honest means we wiped out a complete race to steal their money and power. Thus became our rein and the suffering of many supers.
I always dreamed about having a mate a fated mate would have been ideal but I would take someone that I could stand not those wanabes that came to the Royal dinners and simpered all over us. No, I wanted someone that knew how to talk and think for themselves and not just breath to eat. I wanted someone real, someone that would help be rule this kingdom bring it back to greatness and to also help the more unruly supers to be more abiding.
Since my parents became the new Royals life for others got progressively worse. There was more fighting and stealing as well as more unrest in the city. My parents’ way of dealing with such a thing was to basically capital punishment which I didn’t believe in. If the poor were stealing then obviously, they were stealing for a reason and when me and my adviser looked into the matter more, we found that my parent had increased the cost for nearly everything, they taxed everything and they demanded a cut of everything. That was why there was more unrest everywhere.
Hearing the secret knock on my door I moved to the door to let my advisor in.
“Any change?” my advisor asked
“No, she is still out for the count. I would imagine that she should be awake by now. What do we do any other super would be awake by now I think something is really wrong” I say walking back to my bed to take the chair beside the bed so that I can stare at the beauty that was currently taking up my bed.
“I have done a reading and so far, there is nothing that wrong. Her bell was rung good and proper and her super seems quite but it’s there” my advisor says.
I continue to stare at her hoping that she will open her eyes. I want to know about her, I want to know what she likes what she doesn’t. I want to learn everything that I can about her. But for that to happen she needed to wake up.
“What do you think the flames meant?” I ask
“I don’t know there are only a few races that have the flames so its hard to tell” my advisor replies pulling in the cart that was out in the hall. “I have brought you some dinner as well as some soup and potion for when she wakes up” my advisor says.
“What about the cars what has happened with them” I ask still struggling to take my eyes away from the woman.
“That is where life gets interesting, one there was only wolf blood all over the scene as well as wolf scent the smell of campfire and roasted marshmallows was not there at all so I am unsure what to say about that. The other strange thing was that your car was no where to be found” my advisor replies
“What do you mean nowhere? Smell her you can smell that she is campfire and roasted marshmallows it is the most amazing smell” I say
“I don’t know what to say there was nothing. Our men have completely cleaned the scene and there is nothing left of her there.” My adviser says.
“Thanks, you may leave now” I say as I look at the food and the woman again.
I watch as the time ticks by minute after minute hour after hour.
“Come on sleeping beauty you need to wake up now” I murmur still she doesn’t move. Detaching my spirit, I send him into her to see what he can see.
As I sit watching I can feel what my spirit is experiencing at first there was blackness and then the first trickle of warmth it felt different like in all my time I have never felt a warmth like this before.
As my spirit moves further through her unconscious mind I am briefly frozen with a sudden burst of warmth. There was no noise and still complete darkness when the warmth flared again yet this time it wasn’t just warm it was hot and there in the sudden flare stood a figure. As my spirit moved closer to the figure in the dark the heat flared again.
“Who and what are you?” I hear my spirit ask.
“We are a destiny that you have no right to come near. Why are you seeking us out?” the hidden figure asks
“We want the girl to wake up we want to know if she is ok” my spirit says while still trying to move closer.
“The girl as you put it is fine she has died like the other times before and she will wake once she breathes life again. Be gone and no not interfere.” The shadow figure says right before a massive ball of heat comes blasting our way the next thing that I know my spirit is forced back into my body and my arms, legs and chest are burnt to a crisp.
