Chapter four (Cole)

I watch her intently biting back on a snarky remark as she continues to walk.

The woods are fairly dark even 'in the wee hours of the morning where I find myself lost 'in the colors of the waterfall that was south of here.

My ears perking up as I listen for the sound of rushing water.

I took her 'in, and I could see it 'in her eyes that she does not give a flip about our kind, and with that, she will not hesitate to slit our throats without a second glance or thought.

I encave the shiver that creeps along my spine ignoring the fact that my hand has never once left the hilt of my sword although if it befell where I needed my weapon we both knew that I would win.

I was surprised when I learned that the humans has not made their move or even bid a fight giving how much that this girl means to them.

I glance upon her now her skin pale from the cold climate of Faye territory we were a long distance away from Rome, and by the looks of it, she knew that too.

I lost count of the time as we made our way back to the fortress garden by magic. I granted a curt nod at the guards whose only reply was a faint nod and a glare at Morgan whom only gave a smile upon them 'in satisfactory.

I half-heartedly closed the door behind me and slumped into my desk glaring at the quill and paper with the unmarked letters. After staring at the unmoving objects I walked over to where my window was left ajar. I could hear the music and the gentle hum of laughter air-drawn about.

Tonight was the winter solicit a night to remember I mumbled, and half caressingly dressed not too formal, yet not too casual.

I ruffled my black hair, and with 'in the glow of the moon my tattoo seemed to grow darker, and a mess of swirls a forbidden language one 'i what be a thousand years corky, yet I hast lived that long I hast seen pain and beauty love and death most of 'it was created by the Gods cursing us, yet giving the humans and half breeds like Morgan faculties to confound what was set 'in stone to be good.

Maybe the world has just gone mad rumor has it that Two mortals are already dead, and to be honest, I never once wept or even bother to care; rumor also has it that the Faye was responsible, yet that is impossible we may be responsible for the disappearance of people as well as bringers of death using the force of life as a weapon.

I forbear my mind not bothering to care or to even finish my thoughts lest someone was already 'in my head.

I down wine after wine savoring the fruity flavor and getting madly drunk.

I restrained myself as I watched her appear her mask was that of a flower.

she was utterly beautiful, and I beshrew as Henry approached her the type of fire that was used to seducing women, and I knew by the way that her body tensed that she knew just whom this guy was.

I made my way over to where she was standing I could see the mask of fear 'in her eyes I could smell it as it rolled off of her 'in waves I cringed as I met his blood-red eyes gleaming with hunger.

" Good day Henry" I purred oh yes I could play this game as an act to keep him from sniffing to closely one look of the half breed beneath that rigid mask would have her dead.

I smile upon her ignoring her act of shock oh yes I was going to grant her the best lashing aye I glared upon her, yet apace looked aroint biting my bottom lip.

"Is there something that you want your majesty" his voice rolled and I had to bite back on strangling him or better yet punching the living daylights out of this guy.

I scanted him now pinning Morgan with my stare, before pushing her up against the wall the wet, mineral smell of the rock stung my nose as I pressed her against it. blooming into a mirrored taste 'in my mouth I noticed that she involuntary traced her lips with her tongue still glancing behind me. I pinned her close so that it may appear to look something sexual.

it wasn't.

I knew that she expected me to move, to talk to try something as 'tis said his footsteps leave, yet I just bore her against the hard damp wall till I noticed that she became feverish noting the curiosity playing 'in her blue eyes.

She did not move, yet I knew that she was trembling beneath my touch.

Good, I said into my mind "Let take this to the room" I said not minding the bit of huskiness that was laced with 'in those words.

She nodded her head, and I took her hand 'in mine trying not to squeeze as I stepped forward away from the crowds of Faye's whom were already drunk on the wine.

I turn to face her, yet she hid her emotions well "take off that stupid mask" I could not help the snarl as my nostrils flared she knew that I was mad, yet mad was an understatement.

"I never know why I even bother to care" I quoth 'in almost a hush whisper still she didst not say anything, yet her mask was off showing her angelic face. I turned away from her.

"You did not drink any wine," I asked "no she mouthed swallowing down her fear.

I took another step towards her clinching my fist I wanted to punch something so I slam my fist into the white marble wall hard enough that it left a large hole.

I ignore the fact that she jumped at the loud sound and left slamming the door 'in my wake I did not bother with goodbyes, and I was to enchafed to go back without to join the crowd.

I found myself running my hands through my hair as I sit once more at my desk writing the note that would compose its way to her sisters.

I needed Allies.

I didst not bother with flattery I knew their secrets, and most of every Faye knew their secrets.

I forbear myself afraid of where my mind would go to, and where the darkness of my faculties eats me alive.

I shun the ticking of the clock as it strikes midnight savoring the taper light as I watch the paper vanish from my fingertips and into the night.

I don't get up right away at the first knock that sent a snake of shivers up my spine I knew who was at the door before I even opened an eye.

"Hello mother" it did not surprise me that she was scolding me with a look of distaste that she did not even bother to try to encave from me. "rumor has it that you were dangerously close to her" she almost choked on that last word.

Amusement lining my eyes as I leaned 'in "so what if I was" I breathed. "it is of no import thee of whom I see" I could not help yet to encave my smile as she looked upon me her eyes gone wide with rage. "I am thy king" I added she stormed off slamming the door 'in her wake.

I spin around 'in my chair a few more times before heading to the massive dining room two guards flanked Morgan as she entered one look my way had her looking the other way to the far end of the table not meeting my stare.

I knew that she was frightened of me the way her eyes galled it not to mention I could smell her fear, and what is supposed to amuse me seemed to distract me.

"I am sorry about last night" I breathed she still did not meet my eyes. She still quoth no words to me she just granted me a babbling nod. I know not why I said what I said yet I apace added"I only wanted to keep thou safe" she paused and I bore my breath unsure of what to try to say I find myself playing with the sleeve of my shirt.

We ate 'in mere silents not once saying a word to each other. I grabbed the note 'in mid-air I knew that Morgans eyes were upon me her nostrils flaring taking 'in the familiar scent, that might have been now hold, but for a forgotten remembrance.
