WHAT ARE YOU?

ZORIEL ~

Y-you're covered in blood " Amira said with the widest eyes I had ever seen. 

I looked down at my shirt and then realized how soaked in blood it was.

"Oh... I guess I am" 

I watched as her face turned pale and she passed out but I did not let her fall to the ground.

Why though, it is just blood, nothing more. That wasn't enough reason for her to pass out. She had a soft spirit but she better get ready for more because that's who I was.

I lifted her gently and placed her on the bed before heading for the washroom to wash up. I wouldn't want to scare her anymore.

In a few minutes, I was done and I came out, dripping water on the small doormat on which I stood.

I looked and saw that Amira had still not regained consciousness, this got me a little bit concerned so I got dressed in a soft cotton white shirt and loose black trouser before approaching her.

I sat beside her and couldn't help admiring her beauty, she was so beautiful. Stretching out my hand, I checked her temperature and noticed that she was burning up, I had to call for the doctor as soon as possible.

Her eyes quivered and then slowly opened up, I watched as she moved her eyes around till they settled on me, then she looked down to my shirt, probably checking to see if it was still red with blood.

Her eyes then settled on mine again like she was about to question me but the door opened and the doctor walked in.

"My king, you called for me" he bowed, I slowly looked towards him in a little bit of surprise.

"Shanon, That was really fast of you to arrive. I barely just called some seconds ago"

"I was around, my king. Are you well?"

"I am, but my wife isn't "

"Oh, Pardon me, your majesty " he bowed when he noticed my angel who remained quiet the whole time.

"She is burning up"

Shanon walked closer to Amira and took her hand in his, connecting his gaze with hers. 

I noticed the way he gently squeezed and rubbed her hand and his eyes which appeared awkwardly gentle as he stared into my angel's eyes, it made me uncomfortable.

"That's enough!" I hit his hand away from hers then held her hand in my own hand, I knew I acted childish but I didn't care.

"Forgive me my king, your majesty is down with a little cold and she is slightly malnourished, Give her these" Shanon brought out a small bottle which contained a liquid.

"And how pure is that?"

Shanon opened up the bottle and dropped some of the liquid in his mouth.

"It's clean, it is just a nutrient supplement from the City hospital"

"Alright, thank you. Let me see you off" I took the medicine from him.

Shanon bowed deeply then waited for me as I arranged some pillows around Amira to get her comfortable while her stares only got more intense, making me a bit uneasy to my greatest surprise.

"I'll be back soon" I said but got no response from her, she only stared at me.

I walked shanon out the door where Amira couldn't see him anymore but before he faded into the atmosphere, he asked.

"My king, she's a human?"

"Yes, I believe you have no issues with that" I glared hard at him.

"Not at all, your highness " he bowed before leaving, becoming one with the air. I didn't want Amira to see that because she wouldn't be able to take it in, not after she just saw me drenched in blood some minutes ago, it would be too much revelation in a day. 

I returned back and sat beside her while her dull eyes then settled on me, I knew she was curious and I too was curious about what she wanted to ask.

"What are you?" I heard her ask and I felt my heart skip a beat, I wasn't expecting that. 

WPOV~

Sunnyshire Kingdom.

"Do not go to the palace, young man! You have no business there" Minister Wesley said to his son who was all dressed up to leave. 

"I will go, I have to talk with the king" Jake stood his ground, his face having an angry look.

"Forget about the princess, she is married "

"She was supposed to get married to me!"

"Someone else has her"

"And I will go after her, I know she will be happy to see me"

"What are you saying? You don't know who he is!"

"I will show him my true self, anything to get back my princess "

"Her husband is way more than a witch or a vampire, he is more powerful than you think! "

"I don't care who the fuck he is, I will go after Amira"

"Do not say I did not warn you, and do not call me for help!" 

Jake mounted his horse and rode out the huge gates, finding his way to the palace which was just close by. 

The palace guards recognized him and opened up the gates for him to ride in.

He in turn rode in and pulled the horse to a stop.

Jake jumped down and headed straight for the king's court.

King Herald, Amira's father was inside his courtroom when a guard came in and informed him that Jake was outside.

"Let him in" he ordered and the guard left and returned it Jake. 

"Your highness" he bowed.

"Have a seat Jake, What brings you?" 

"I want to know who Amira got married to" he said with all manner of seriousness but king Herald found it hilarious, he released a low chuckle.

"Son, Amira was never meant for you. She married a king and is now a queen " 

Jake got annoyed at the king's words but he did not show it.

"What is his name?'

"He is king Zoriel, from the northern kingdom. Don't try anything stupid Jake, go home and find another bride"

"I want Amira, we love each other "

"Oh silence! What do you know about love?"

Jake's face squeezed up in anger, he turned around and stormed out of the king's courtroom. 

He was not going to care about what people were saying, he resolved to go after the one he loved, at least he had gotten the name of the man.

"Zoriel, who ever or what ever you are, I am coming for you" Jake's eyes turned red as his fangs elongated, piercing his tongue and drawing out blood.
