Chapter 12: Black Smoke

"There is no refuge from memory and remorse from this World. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance. "

CESIA'S POV

"Prince Trevor, is it true? Do you let a mere mortal enter into the Autumn Forest? " Elder Gamora from the witches said. She looks at me with fiery eyes and disgust.

But, Prince Trevor didn't answer and look at her with a blank expression. Why do I feel like my heart is pierced from heartache because of my existence?

"Lady Gamora... " King Acre called her in a warning tone.

'A mere mortal? ' Zia exclaimed.

"No! King Acre! He let that low creature enter that Forbidden barrier! And with the help of a Dark Prince? " I couldn't believe what she said.

Really? Low Creature? She's right, even, I, don't know where I belong. I lower my head because of what she said.

"Gamora! Let the Prince explain all about this. " The Elder of the Werewolves; Alpha Raiden Quill uses his deep baritone voice. He has this well-built body and his gray eyes emitting a superior aura.

"What? Explain? She's a spy here in our Realm. She knows the Dark Prince and goes to that barrier! Only he can do that and open the barrier for her! " She pointed me and Prince Trevor, intentionally let off her opinion with everyone.

"Gamora! Enough! " King Acre slam the table for her to stop.

I feel the heaviness of the air around us. I look around and I saw fear in their eyes, except the Elder witch. I frowned while looking for Prince Trevor, leaning to his seat with cross arms. His eyes are darkened and clenched his perfect jaw.

"Why? All of you, didn't you afraid of what may happen to our Realm? He's a Dark Prince who came from the Underworld! His Father is our greatest enemy! And you let the enemies' blood step into our Realm? And let his low creature companion live with us? For what? To spy? Make a threat?"

"Think all of you! He's the King of Darkness's son! Sooner or later, he will follow the steps, what his father does to us! He will ruin..... Accck! " Everyone gasped and my eyes widen. Lady Gamora was now hanging in the air holding her neck with both hands. I saw black smoke around her neck, like choking her to death. Her eyes are now bloodshot, crying, and trying to lose its black smoke grip. She had heavy breathing already.

"How many times, I told you. Don't fucking compare me with my Father! " Prince Trevor is now standing with up and down heavy breathing, looking to Lady Gamora with his jaw clenched, crumpled fist and his dark eyes are now full blacks. Sweat is over his face like controlling...

'Is he? The black smoke.. 'Zia said.

'He's the one who controls it' I said. But, I notice his breathing like he can't control it well.

The dark aura is now spreading inside the hall. Everyone is now affected, even the strongest council King and Queen. They are now kneeling on the floor with heavy breathing.

I frowned and look around them. They were all feeling weak. Trevor and I were left standing. I'm a bit affected by the tension, my knees are shaking and anytime sooner, I'll be like them. I look to Lady Gamora who's now breathing slowly, closing her eyes. Prince Trevor still on his post.

'Ce-sia, Do something!' Zia said. What? She's feeling weak too?

'Zia? What happens? ' I asked hysterically.

'I can't move, I feel like someone pulling me... Ces.. ' she slowly said.

'Zia.?' I called her, but no response.

No! I stagger, thinking about what should I do. I look around and all of them are now lying. Prince Trevor is now kneeling, still dark face.

No! I don't want this to happen. I feel my heartbeat fast. Worried about their situation. Prince Trevor had a hard time controlling too. I feel my heart clenched, seeing him like that. I quickly walk by his side. Like my body is reacting and doing what is right. I don't mind my weakening body, just to reach him.

I kneeled in front of him. Holding his shoulder to look at me. He adverts his stare towards mine. I look into his full black eyes. I feel my body shaking like pulling my soul inside me. His stare is dangerous, and I know his suffering out there to loosen his control.

I cupped his face with my hands. I feel his coldness but sent warmth to my heart. I sighed and look at him worriedly.

"Please, Trev.. stopped this already. Control yourself, don't forget you still have a heart. Don't let that darkness controlled you. " I tell him with my soft voice. I don't know, why I said that. I'll just feel it and responsible to tame him.

I saw a glint of emotion in his eyes, that gave hope to me. Slowly his dark orb eyes back to their normal state. His breathing is already normal. And the dark aura around us, slowly fading.

I smile at him weakly, because I see how his face softens and worried. He put his thumb in my cheeks, wiping the tears. I don't even know, why I'm crying. I have this unexplained feeling about him, my emotion is visible when he's with me or even his presence. I want to ask him, why I'm feeling this only to him. But, not this time.

"Did I scare and worried you, my Queen? " he said with full of worries. I blushed, what he's calling me. Gosh. I just look at him. I saw amusement in his dark eyes.

"I'm sorry, you need to witness those acts," he said and I nod.

"I can't control myself from being angry, knowing it's you who mock them without respect... " he whispers but doesn't hear what he said. I frowned and he just chuckled messing my hair.

"Wh-o are yo-u in my life, Prince Trev? ' I can't control myself to ask him. I saw millions of emotion in his eyes that I can't explain. He sighed.

"Not now, My Queen. Soon, you'll know it too. And always put in your mind, I'll protect you no matter what happens. " he said and whisper the last sentence I didn't hear.

'Fond of whispering? '

He chuckled, but his face was replaced with fear, looking at my state. He cupped my face and hurriedly embrace me with his firm arms, letting me rest through his strong arms. I look at him and reach out to his perfect face with my hand. He closes his eyes while touching it.

"Sorry... Sorry... Baby.. " he said while kissing my knuckles looking with a dismayed look. I cough and blood went out from my mouth.

"No... No... Stay with me, baby. " he said while holding my hands tightly afraid to leave him.

I didn't imagine he's that strong. Yeah, it affects and weakens me. I sighed and let myself feel the pain. I closed my eyes and my heart clenched from excruciating pain. Like something pulled my soul and breaking inside me.

"Ahhhhhh! " I whimpered in pain. Prince Trevor, we're now in hysterical call-in some help.

I felt broken and pain is all over me. I open my eyes and feel the hotness of it that needs to get out of my sight. I shouted in pain like something, happens in my eyes. I heard the breaking of glass. A strong gush of wind and their voices calling my name. Until my body wants defeat from weakness. But, it slowly fades the feeling of pain when he hugged me tight and kisses my forehead repeatedly. Telling me to calm down.

"Baby, please... Stop... Calm... Down. "

I don't even know what happens around me. And why he is keeping on saying to calm down. I felt the dizziness inside me. I close my eyes, he's hugged and touch that gave light and homey feeling. How he rubbed his hand to my hair and back. It gave me calmness and peace. Until I fall out of sleep.
