Chapter Seven

I wake up to a dimly lit room, tracing my steps back to the dining room of Gordon's castle. The aroma of whatever was being served compelling me to keep going. Lord Gordon sits at the head of the table with those four warlocks from last night. .

"sit my lady" Lord Gordon says, his morning voice husky and captivating. I take another step towards where he is sitting and place my self next to him

"how was your night pretty?"

"better than any I have ever had"

"Nice to hear that" he says smiling then he look straight ahead and just as if he mind linked the warlocks they all stand up and start making their way out each giving me a glare of his own

"you better watch the way you stare at me" I warn "You were all just so lucky I hadn't come in full fae form otherwise, you would have each been sporting a lost limb" I complete and snicker at them and they walk out without uttering any word.

"so what exactly brought you to this town?" Lord Gordon asks while laying next to me in an orchard.

we left his house and went for a walk shortly after breakfast"I just decided to visit the human world for some time and head back home but then I met this family that had me coming back again to help their town against a warrior that I have learnt is you" I open up.

"oh yeah... that's right and I am not done with them" he declares

"but what exactly have they done wrong" I enquire. At least if I can't stop him, I should know why he is so hell bent on killing them.

"You don't have to worry about that" he says his gaze piercing into mine, I try to turn my face away and just like a spell I feel myself drawn to him and I feel the sparks immediately his lips collided with mine. not just the sparks, but also the said butterfly.

He kiss me hard and deep, my lips parting in other to breath but instead he seize the opportunity to dive his tongue into my mouth. I feel dizzy and I don't want him to stop and just as the thoughts of him stopping cross my mind, he pulls away and I am left in a panting mess, the feeling of his lips on mine still lingering.

"We should go" he gets up and brush grasses from my dress while pulling me up.

"Ye...s" I manage to form a word at the same time hiding the blush creeping up my cheeks.

we walk around Lucian town that is now empty all thanks to Gordon and I can't bring myself to feel really angry about what he did.of course I am sad for everyone in this town but not angry at him for displacing them.

"Do you know where they all are as of now? I ask him.

"yes" is his Curt reply, he definitely doesn't want me going there so I need to be smart about this

"just want to give a few word to the little girl" I claim without taking my eyes off him.

"I suppose you know the way back to my house"

"A faerie never forgets her way" I say and run off to find Lucian and his family.

"Lucian! Lucian!!" I call out in panic as I approach where they are all supposed to be but to my utmost surprise only five people are here, faces of which I have no idea who they are.

"I am here to see Lucian" I ask a young girl of possibly my age.

"You can find him with the others at the seaport, his mother was taken and it's just him and his sister so they are deciding to head on to Somerset"

"Thank you very much" I appreciate him and head to the port direction. Lucian mustn't leave just like that. This town is his home and will always be his.

"Lucian!" I reach the dock in a panting mess, he is about to enter the ship. he turns to the sound of his name. He mouths my name and then around to approach me.

"Olette where have you been" he touches my cheek and I give him a little smile

"I was scared, I really thought something happened to you" he says with tears in his eyes and hugs me tight.

"I am fine really" I assure him mostly assuring myself. I am scared because how can I love Gordon who I had just met more than anyone in my life. I thought if I saw Lucian maybe whatever spell I was placed on would be washed away but right now I am in too deep with Gordon.

"I heard your mother was taken. What happened?"

"Those men suddenly showed up and mother thought it was wise to stand up to them and now I have no idea where she is"

"We have to find her. You can't just leave and forget about her. What about Isabel? what is going to happen to her?" I make him see reasons

"I guess you are right but I have no idea where mother is. what am I going to say to Isabella?" he rubs his face with his palm. he is looking haggard and exhausted.

"You are not surprised I am standing before you in one piece, the last we saw I was about to cast down fire on those warriors"

"That's true! it totally skipped my mind. The thoughts of mother feels my thoughts daily"

"It could only mean you defeated them for you to be here with me" he grins hugging me tight.

"To some extent yes and that's why we should go back there and see if Lena...."

"Are you serious" he hollers "how can you possibly suggest we go there!"

" She could be there and we should be ready to take any risk. You've lost your father and you shouldn't lose Lena too" I tell him.

"I don't want you getting hurt." he says and I see the affection in his eyes.

we head to Gordon's place with little hope of finding Lena.
