Lucien sits up on the bed staring at the window she jumped through. She's so good at it especially for a princess like her who always acts timid and shy. He smirks. As time goes on I'll make sure to uncover her real skin.
Asherah walks out of the wash room seeing Lucien sitting on the bed. She steadily walks towards him avoiding those grey orbs of his. She sits on the bed clutching the duvet on her laps.
"Feeling better," he asks.
The hums nodding her head. He sighs, staring at her.
"I told your father to make arrangements for us to get married the day after tomorrow".
Asherah looks at him wanting to know his reason why.
"I didn't mean to but I heard your conversation with Mireah. As a demon I have sharp ears and eyes. At the same time I can limit the things I want to see and hear. I don't want you dwelling in pain because of your past. I want you to forget everything and move on to start a new beginning" he says, holding her palms in his.
"The only way you can do that is to leave this place and away from the people that caused you those pains in order to start afresh" he says caressing her palms. Asherah stares at her palms in his. After a while she nods her head as a tear rolls down her cheeks. Lucien sighs embracing her.
The next morning Lucien opens the door to see Mireah.
"Greetings King Lucien" Mireah says with a bow.
Lucien nods his head. "Asherah is asleep" he says.
She looks up at him "I'm not here for Asherah. I'm here to have a word with you if you have the time to spare".
Lucien stares directly at her eyes trying to invade her mind but the latter smiles saying "You won't see anything, neither will you gain anything from it even though you see it. We have the same line of thought King Lucien, I'll be waiting in the garden".
She says walking ahead. Lucien stares at her back for a long while before accompanying her.
Lucien stands with hand tucked into his pocket.
"Who are you??" He asks, meeting her gaze.
Mireah smiles "it doesn't matter or does it?" Mireah asks with a raised brow.
Lucien hums "It does because I can sense a concealing magic on you. You're not a werewolf are you?" He asks, staring at with squinted eyes.
Mireah chuckles "Of course King Lucien I am. But I'm a rare one just like Ash". Mireah says earning a raised brow from Lucien.
"What do you mean?" Lucien asks with a frown on his face.
Mireah sighs "I know you heard all my conversation with Ash, and that was my purpose. Will it be safe to say that all that's happening now I have seen it beforehand. I've seen them coming and that's why I'm in support of you getting married sooner".
She crosses her arms across her chest looking at the flowers in the garden "I'm not able to see it clearly but I can understand that if you don't get married on time and take my sister away from here, she's bound to cross parts with danger. I know you're the only one cap able to protect her. You are more than what the eyes meet and yesterday I confirmed my suspicions. There was a dark aura preventing the rain that was supposed to fall because of Asherah tears".
She directs her gaze toward Lucien and continues "As per my knowledge, that aura only made its way to this pack upon your arrival. You're not supposed to exist on earth are you?" Mireah asks.
There was a long silence between the two of them. Lucien sighs, staring at Mireah.
"You're also more than what the eyes meet Princess. Since you know alot about me, why don't you tell me the reason you're concealing yourself". Lucien says.
Mireah sighs "let's make a deal. I'll tell you why I'm being concealed and by whom in exchange you'll tell me who you are".
"Deal"
Mireah's smile falls "My kind is not supposed to exist. They've always been put to death as soon as they were born. They say we are created from evil because we can see the future and past".
She tilts her head "It's safe to say I'm fortunate to have met her early before anybody could get an idea of who I am, a seer as a werewolf. Isn't that odd?"
She asks, grinning widely.
She shrugs "But what can I do? She told me that after so many years my kind has never existed and for me to exist I was born for a reason and that's to expose darkness. It's not in my place to say her name but she has blue eyes. Bright blue eyes like the bright ocean. She saved me by concealing my powers so that I'll be safe".
She pauses for a while and stares at Lucien directly in the eyes "Who are you?".
"A Vampire.....and a demon".
