3 The Darkness in the Light

Kellen pov:

I have barely spent any time in this castle since i was a mere child, since the day she opened her eyes. As the King in waiting it is my duty to do everything I can to maintain this Kingdoms' power and status. If I am being honest there wasn't much before I started embarking on 'My' mission. I was born a god to a lowly vampire family they aren't even my real parents.

I have to keep reminding that fool of a King no one else in the Kingdom knows the truth I'm surprised I've lasted this long without blowing my cover. Part of the reason I travel is so I am not tempted tear him apart. I go by Kellen Shadowhunter King in waiting to the Rekaven Kingdom. A Kingdom that was no more than a group of ravished vampires with no global assets before I started doing something about it. I'm doing it for her….My sister and my Mate.

Phoebe to this day believes she is my little sister and while that's true the age gap isn't what she thinks it is. She and I are twins born and given to the current King Rolland to be his children and inherent the kingdom. Except Phoebe remained in a sleep like state for 6 years she didn't grow or age. King Rolland kept her existence from everyone and I stayed by her side as I grew studied, and trained. I figured she'd be nothing but a sleeping infant forever and I almost grew to accept it until one day the castle was raided by a team of demons that swarmed the castle.

No one knew how they got in or what they were after….at only 6 years old I single-handedly taken out half of them. It was no more than a game for me, I was using my vampire speed to cut through the necks of the demons one after the other and since I was an improved version of this low end vampires my speed was even unreadable in their eyes. At the time I was using a dagger I found laying on the ground and when I came to a stop on top of a demon with the dagger in it's neck and blood splattering on my face that held a smile on it because I was having so much fun! That was until I heard her crying.

The first noise I ever heard her make was like a melody but while I was lost in her cries I was brought back to the reality of what was going on. I was on the other half of the Castle when I felt a sudden jerk off pain in my ears. For a moment it felt like I went deaf and soon the only thing I could hear was her cry. The sound of the demons, fighting and screams meant nothing because I waited so long for these cry's my sister was letting out. I panicked as I ran for the first time tapping into my true powers as a God, up until that day I lived like a simple vampire but had obvious better skills than the rest to cement my royal status. I crossed the distance between Phoebe and where i been fighting in literally no time at all, and the sight before me was unreal.

There she was in her oak wood crib with her red hair opposite of my dark blue hair and purple eyes to match my own. She was crying surrounded by a mist of Darkness and about a dozen demon corpses. It wasn't until I took a step closer that I realized while she was emitting waves of darkness I myself was giving off waves of light. Because of this with each step I took it felt like the darkness parted for me until I picked her up and her cries stopped both my light and her dark went away. She looked up at me and I could have sworn she was smiling at me.

Now, most people wouldn't see my next decision coming but that night I left. I picked out a nanny and had Rolland announce her as his newborn daughter the new Princess of Rekaven. I took the Royal advisor, a few men and we left for my 1st mission. I was gone for a little over 3 years and by the time I returned the Kingdom of Rekaven was now a Nation. I had overthrown 5 nearby Kingdoms to expand my own each time increasing our manpower wealth and reputation.

My first time home I saw Phoebe in the castle garden she had been playing some kind of girly tea party game with one of the maids taking her a tray of treats but she must of not liked them cause she got upset. The next moment the garden was covered in black fire it must have been the 1st time cause she and the maid both looked terrified and screamed. Her scream was just as painful as 3 years before when I heard her cry. With the flick of my wrist I extinguished the flames by converting the energy into a simple flash of light, our eyes briefly met one another before I walked from the balcony back inside the castle.

The next few weeks I arranged rules, schedules, play dates with another princess, and lessons for her to learn. I made sure she had everything she ever wanted within the castle walls but not once did I actually speak to her. It wasn't long before I left again and over the years I traveled to train, find answers to questions I had, build our army, handle Kingdom politics and at this point Roland was just for show I was running this kingdom. I would come back just to check on her progress make any changes I needed to make, I watched her grow up from a distance.

It was 13 years since Phoebe had opened her eyes and for the most part that's how we were gaging her age. I'd come home up to this point and had been keeping her busy in hopes to prevent her from asking too many questions. But I was also trying to keep her happy up until this point she had been my baby sister damn near my daughter. When I found out Roland was still trying to play King, he promised her hand in marriage to some nation on the other side of the world in exchange for exotic concubines.

Rage was an understatement, I would have killed him if it weren't for Phoebe walking in on us arguing. I stormed out of the room because I could barely look at her without wanting to end Roland. From that day I had it nationally declared that Phoebe was to be my wife, I forbid any close contact with Male staff or any guy what so ever especially Roland, i made my decision in anger, and i had to leave. I went all the way across the world to brake of this ''Marriage" in person.

While on this trip I met Lucy a hell hound full of rage and natural talent when I found her she hadn't had access to her humanoid form for long. I had to tame and then train, from that moment on she became my right hand, and willing Sex slave. Sounds hypocritical doesn't it, I traveled across the world to personally deliver a message that no man may lay a hand on Phoebe, yet by the time I returned I had a well-trained sex slave. Yeah well, I could care less what it sounds like cause that's exactly what happens. Lucy is wild and brutal on the battlefield, slutty and skilled in bed but she knows her place that isn't to say she's all too happy about it. I can see the way she looked at Phoebe when we go home or when I speak about her Lucy's jealousy is kind of cute and honestly well placed seeing as the bond Phoebe and I have is one she and I could never obtain.

I sat in my Study as the men packed for what I was hoping was the final trip, I spent the last 17 years building this empire to fit my name as King and Phoebe as Queen, at the same time hunting down the origin of those demons from the day phoebe woke up. Over the years I found out they were actually after Phoebe. Yet it wasn't till the last 2 or 3 years I found out Phoebe was the target of another Goddess who if I'm right has been growing weaker as Phoebe got older and grew stronger. I had leads of who this Goddess was and the ranks I needed to deal with to find and eliminate her. So that I can start my life with my sister.

This time leaving was that much harder than all the times before. Just a few days ago I felt her staring me down from afar by the time I looked over to her and saw the desire in her eyes, my own desires for her surfaced the only thing that kept me from going over and taking her right there was the low growl I heard from Lucy. She was walking beside me and it helped snap me out of it and I just grinned over at her and gave her head a light pat which made her blush for just a moment. Since she hated showing any sign of weakness yet couldn't help it around me for this reason i pushed our departure date from next week to today the sooner I left the sooner I could be back despite this trip expected to be almost a year to even a year and a half long.

….

It was hours after we left I had the men pull over in a town we would be staying in for a few days it was outside the territory of our nation but I usually spend a few days in this town every time i go on trips that take me through it. So much so the owner of the Inn in this town has a room just for me I told the men to drop off my personal trunks in the room, though it was late due to Lucy bullying the driver who had my personal belongings drop her off at the bar in town though it wasn't all too far from the Inn. I had just noticed something was off with my belongs when I heard screaming outside.

I left my room and headed to the roof to get a view of the village and not too far off in the distance I noticed Lucy distinctive bright green hell flames. Deciding she could handle her self and that I didn't care about whatever damage she was causing I went back inside to finish unpacking some of the things. Mostly my maps it was again I noticed none of this was how I packed it someone must have gone through it. I knew it was something when I opened a box I kept my most personal items in most of them cards and letters Phoebe had tried to send me in her younger years, I had no idea she had been writing and drawing things for me and soon found out Roland was preventing her from having contact with me while I was away for years most of Phoebe's nanny's and ladies in waiting had been stashing them away because most didn't have the heart to destroy them but none of them were prepared to fully disobey their King by sending them to me yet by the time I found out she had given up on sending me anything and I thought it better that way so I never wrote her but I kept her letters and cards in this box untouched. I took it everywhere to remind me what I was doing this for. Yet one of the cards was miss placed in a completely different trunk. I headed out to the back of the Inn where the carriages were parked and I went to see what information I could gather before confronting my men I was just about to look in the back of the carriage when I heard her voice.

"Master…" Lucy called out to me and I figure she was going to explain to me about what happened at the bar but right now it was the least of my concern.

"Lucy whatever happened I don't care right now I'll find time to punish you another time." I told her and looked back to see her expression harden, it was unlike her to be rebellious towards me so I gave her my full attention for a moment "Do you have something you want to say, little girl?"

Lucy looked away from me "The Princess" I looked at her with an eyebrow raised Lucy hardly every talked about Phoebe so I listened to what she had to say, she told me the whole story from the bar and things were starting to add up so I headed back to my room where Lucy told me she locked her in I opened the door and there she stood at 5'2 feet tall, her now long red Hair than came down to her ass, her body filled out perfectly with Double D breast a small waist and flawless pale skin she watched me with her Purple eyes filled with innocence, mine filled with anything but, the closest I've been to her in years but here she was my "little" sister..... Phoebe.
