*Kira P.O.V*
waking up to the sun is the best, Feeling the warm sunshine fall on my skin, I felt like nothing was going to kill my mood today i felt like a real woman even though we haven't hit second base, but the first base was super entertaining, and let me tell you he doesn't disappoint. Feeling him between my legs without penetrating me had me thinking. How could he do what he did with his tongue and now want me afterward? Was he waiting for the right moment, or does he not want to complete the process with me. I roll over with the sheets covering my body, not wanting to get up. I wish I could lay here with the sun on my face. Loving this peaceful moment.
The door slammed open! Well, there goes my peace. I slowly pull the covers over my head, hearing footsteps creep towards the bed. I heard a sudden stop, and then I felt someone lead down a little to see if I was truly sleeping or was I faking. Once they got their answer, I breathe a little when I felt the dip in the be eased up. But boy, was I wrong. The stranger pulled on the blankets, which roll me straight out of bed. My hair was wild and in my face. As I brush the strings of hair out of my face, I looked up to see Issac standing in front of me.
"Aw, you're awake. Good, get dress. Meet me downstairs in 20 mins please, and I will tell you what the plan is." He walks back towards the door, and just before he closed it, he turns around and looks at me with a devilish smile. " Oh, last night was a taste we should do it again. But this time, I want to claim you fully when the time is right. So please don't worry your little head for I couldn't sleep because of it. We share one mind you have to remember. Now you have my mark. The link is stronger than ever." I knew my face was bloodshot red by now the way his words caress me. I sat there on the floor for what seems like an hour, but it was only ten minutes as I was confused about what just happened. I got up off the floor and made my way to the bathroom to do my morning routes. I wash my face, more like deep clean my face. Then I brush my teeth; I love that crest toothpaste in my mouth. The minty flavor is a must for me. I turn on the shower, and I check the water to make sure it was just right. Or like burning like my soul. I laughed in my head because of that. Oh, goddess, i crack myself up. I let the water and the soap wash the negative energy away.
"I said twenty minutes, not thirty. If you don't hurry, i will come up there and punish you like the kitten you are." Issac pop in my head made me jump a little. Why can i take a moment for myself? Every since the claiming celebration, i met the new me, a goddess descendant. Me having to choose between my witchy goddess side or my grim reaper demon side. Every day i feel myself slipping, and i never get a break from doing so. I cut off the water and wrap a towel around me. I walk into the room and put on black cut up rip jeans with some checkerboard converse that are black and red. Then i put on my lace bra and a black classifier shirt from howl's moving castle. I love that movie. I slowly pull it over my head, and i went to the mirror. My hair was curly and puffy from the water, I put on a red beanie to complete the outfit, and then i sat down and looked into the mirror. My eyes are still golden and sky blue, Which i gloss them up with some black eyeliner. I slide on some red lipstick then put on my black choker with a crescent moon on it. I kissed myself in the mirror then got up with my glowing mocha chocolate skin. Even though my natural hair is curly and puffy, it still reaches my lower back.
I walk downstairs and saw Issac standing at the doorway, of course, smoking a blunt. He smiles when he saw me, and i knew i needed to get payback for him throwing me out the bed this morning. First, he pleasures me then rolls me out the bed, So rude, i tell you.
"Good Morning Kira, How did you sleep." Issac smile as e holds the front door open for me.
"F you, sir, I was still in a peaceful state, and you came and messed it up," I said as I walked out the door. Issac locked the door behind us and led the way to the car. "So what's the plan. You haven't said much when you threw me out of bed. " I said as we made it to the garage, and I saw my favorite car of all times. A yellow corvet was waiting to be droved by me, but I made my way to the driver's side. Issac came and pushed me to the passage side.
"Nice try but no" He laughed as he opens my door. "We are spending a day together. I mean, I ate your box last night. You must have a question about me and everything, and since we on vacation, why not." Did he say "eat the box" sitting there with my mouth open, I get into the car without a word and wait until he gets in?
"So where we going first," I asked with my arms still crossed.
"Well, first is ice cream and walks at the park. I truly want to know you, and why do Jace want to mate with you completely." When he said Jace, i shivered
"Was Jace there last night?" I asked, knowing that he was. He looked through the rearview mirror as he back out the garage without saying a word. As we stop on the road at a traffic light, I looked at him carefully, waiting for him to answer.
"Yes, He was." He kept his eyes on the road as he is fighting his grip on the wheel. "He took over me last night, He wanted to claim you fully, but I didn't let him." As he turns left and then a right, he parks the car next to a trail and a park full of laughing kids. The wonderful thing about it is the people here had beautiful wings on their backs. Just looking at the fly with so much happiness made me want to be apart of it. "Welcome to the Fairy Land. It's where fairies of all races, shapes, and forms come to hang with their families after the mating call. Some weddings happen here and some family events like fairy showers and fairy days." He said, getting out of the car, closing his door behind him. He walks around and opens the passager door. He grabs my right hand gently, helping me out of the car. I was in awe. Looking at the different creatures of fairies was amazing. Some had flower dresses, and some had crystals. Some were breed with different species such as vampire or wolf. I drop a tear for the first time seeing a different world than the cottage i was stuck living in for eighteen years. I would be claimed by a man I didn't love and chase down by my stepfather and brother. Watch my mother die, have to choose between light or death. Beginning connected to my mate, who was a demon inside of him that has no control. My life went from abusive and boring to adventurous in a hot second. We walk around, and I still can't get over the colors that have never been seen before the surface around me.
We stop at an ice cream truck, and for a minute, you will think we were in a Dr. Sesus movie. It's not a bad thing, but it was nothing you will expect this world to be. Whereas the under is gothic, Here is more of a wildflower type of place where everyone can be themselves.
"Can i have two Fairy-Nalla and lemonade, please" The man went into the back of the truck and fixed up our order. I turn around and watch two couples who were fairy and wolf. I don't know how i can tell the man was a wolf, and he was in human form, but i could. They looked so happy and in love. Apart from I wanted to feel that after what i been through. "Here you go." Issac had me a Fairy-Nalla, which I'm guessing is code for Vanilla. i taste it, and the vanilla taste hit my tongue, and it felt so freaking fantastic. I look at Issac, who confirmed the taste himself, and we begin to walk the trail. Seeing the kids play and feeling the sun made me feel normal even though nothing about this world is normal. "Ok, start with the questions." I looked at him as we walked arm to arm in silences.
"Ok, here one. Why is Jace your shadow?" I asked as i took a lick of ice cream.
"He's not my shadow; he's my other half. He's apart of me since my mother died. Jace will soon inherit my body once the mating process is complete. That is why i didn't let him go all the way. Once the mating is complete, you and i won't be Kira and Issac anymore. Well, i don't know about you yet, but me i know for sure will change." He said while taking another spoon full of ice cream and walking in silents.
"Is that why you smoke weed," I asked again, and he nods.
"Yes, It keeps him at bay. I started smoking it when i was 16 years old in human years. I couldn't tame him, so this witch in the human world told me the weed mix with lavender should keep him tamed and ease the smell." He took another spoon full, and so did I " Ok, my turn. Why did your parents keep you locked up." I looked at the pain when he asked that question.
"Monica told me it was to keep me hiding from the people who wanted my powers. But now that every ting is coming to the surface, i think it was to keep me hiding and safe from my stepfather and also you." I said, and took another spoon full of ice cream. "Monica used to tell me my virtue was important, She always told me i was meant for great things, and she saw different blood in me. I was a part witch and something else, but she could never figure it out until my claiming ceremony to be chosen by darkness or Light. But the funny thing is i claim both." I saw a trash can and throw the empty bowl in the trash, and Issac did the same.
"The real reason has nothing to do with me or your stepfather. Your mother kept you hiding is because you had the soul of a demon. Your real father is the king of the world called Other." He paused, and we stop at a lake. He pulls out a blanket like magic and lay it on the ground.
"Well, first off, where did this blanket come from, and second, What's the Other," I asked.
"The Other is below the Under. It's 3 parts of the underworld you don't know. One is the Other It's where pureblood demons live. Where your father, the king, lives and rules over the whole underworld. Then the Under where i live yes I'm a prince due to my father being a royal, but your father had my family royal over the Under hints why I'm a prince. Then you have the level where the people live and work, which is called The Lower." I looked at him as he explains the levels of The underworld.
"Does this world has levels?" I asked and look at the fairies fly high in the sky.
"No, the Fairy world is just like earth. Everyone comes here with no judge meant. To start over, you know." He looked at me as if he was trying to figure me out. "Why didn't you ask me about your brother that night?"
"I didn't ask because i wasn't ready to know what happened to him," I said, now looking into his eyes. "Is he died," I asked, knowing the answer? He turns his head so i won't look into his eyes? He just nodded and looked at the sunshine bright in the sky. "Did he say why he wanted me dead?" I asked, looking at my lap.
"Day before yesterday when we snuck out of the mansion, Jess went to Monca and Scott. She told them his plan to kill you for your stepfather and kill Jess before the royal fairies are born. It's part of a ritual for power. I know for a fact he wants you and your father together so he can take both of your powers and rule The underworld for himself. Your brother didn't want his father to have it, so he acts upon himself as the act of him attacked us. But his mistake was attacking me, Jace came out, and i killed him." He then turned to me and looked at me again. "Beautiful," i heard him whisper, but i act as if i didn't hear, but im not going to lie. This was nice and just talking to him made me feel normal. But I'm somewhat upset that he killed my brother, I know he didn't have a choice, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. I looked down at the blanket, feeling eyes on me, scared to look up, knowing I would cry in front of him. Showing him my weakness, i wasn't ready for that.
"If you need to cry im here." He said it, and i looked at him, my eyes getting watery. "I don't know what you went through before you been claimed, but i know for a fact you been so strong for so long that you haven't truly had a good cry." I looked back at the sun that shines so bright. So still so peaceful like there's no care in the world. I didn't know I was crying until he pulls me close to him and wipes the tear that ran down my mocha chocolate cheeks. The next thing I know, more tears came, and then I started to scream out my pain. Good thing no one was sitting where we were because I scream until I couldn't scream anymore. The day has passed, and we sat there in silents. My stomach started to growl as we watch the sunset.
"Ah yes, let get you to dinner. You choose." he stood up and reach down to give me a helping hand. "What place?" He looked at me as i stood there with my left hand on my hip and my right hand on my cheek just thinking about what i will like to eat.
"Well, Mr. Issac letting me pick the place." I put my hand over my heart and smiled "I'm honored." I smiled while i spoke in a southern accent. we walk back to the car slowly walking hand and hand. It felt nice to see his guard down and to see who Issac is. "How about you pick the place, You know more about the fairy world they do." I looked at him and he seems to be incomplete thought.
"Yes right there a small cafe not too far from here, If you as we can go there." I smile and nod as we approach the car. Something felt off i caught a shiver down my spine. Issac looked at me knowing we both caught the same feeling. Issac quickly put me in the car and i put on my seat belt. He closes the door headed to the driver's side, Stop and looked out in the distance. I turn to look out the window and my mouth drops. A dark black thick shadow came over the park-like slime. Fairies fly away and scream, Issac got into the car and push the engine, and drove away.
"What is that," i asked feeling a big case of fear bubbling up.
"I don't know but whatever it is? I never felt this power before." He drove us back to the castle, I unbuckled my seatbelt and Issac touched my hand.
"Don't get out yet" he said to me looking me in my eyes with all seriousness. "I'm sorry i brought danger to you, But this will be my last time seeing you as Issac. Whoever this is, He's here and i must be at my strongest for you. You overcome so much in life and i know you will do even greater. Please never forget me ok." I looked him in his eyes knowing that he was being so true. He pulls me close and kissed my lips and man i wanted him to do more. But the kiss came as soon as it left then he looked me in my eyes one more time and then got out of the car. I felt myself change as well when his demon half came out. His walked change as did his posture. His hair grew longer what was to his shoulders was down to his lower back. His eyes glow red and black and her smile looked dangerous.
"Hello my love, You missed me," Jace called back to me. I couldn't do anything but stare at him as if i wanted him more than Issac which was scared. Was i into his demon also.
"Of course he is our mate," A woman in my head shouted.
"What?" i said looking out the driver side window, even looking at the back seat. No one was in the car with me.
"That because I'm in your mind, I'm your inner demon Tessa. I can when Issac surrenders himself to Jace to become powerful. That means you have your demon and goddess side connected. He will claim you now that Issac isn't holding him with the smoke. Yall are powerful together one of a kind." Her voice sounds so angel-like but knowing i have a demon inside of me is kind of scary but i didn't show it. "I know you are freaked out by the pulse in your veins no need to not show it. I would be to talking to your inner demon in your head. Tessa's reflection showed up in the window. She looked like me but in a goth way, She was beautiful with purple and red eyes. Her hair was black with purple and red tips, She looked like a demon goddess who wants to just live and have fun. "Now that you know what i look like, you know that i am you I must speak fast. Kira, you have power in you, more than you know. What Jace is about to fight he's not ready for it. Lucien is more powerful and he is here, So please listen carefully. I'm you in a past like Im Tessa Michealson I control fire because I died by fire. Lucien came into many of our lives and killed us with different elements. Elements he didn't know that control of our spirit. The next life was Kia, she hasn't presented herself because she kind of shy Lucien killed her as well and she died by the hands of the spirit. Kia was an angel and didn't know her true abilities before he killed her, He spirit latched on just as mines did. After Kia was Lakita, She was the nicest of the group. She died by the hand of air, Lucien pushed her before gravity took her instead. Lastly, is Akita died by the hands of water? Lucien killed her when he found out she was human. Now it's you but the thing is you died on earth but gained all the elements. You can stop him before he kills everyone. The truth is coming out now that you know you have this power. Go and save the ones you love. Just summon us by calling us our true name." She disappears as she explains, no time to think just act I got out of the car and ran towards the entrance of the castle.
"Gosh so much for a damn first date!" I yelled as I saw Lucien holding Jace in the air body limp out cold as if he knocked his soul out of his body. I knew he was a lie the link told me so. I was pissed and ready for revenge. "Let go of him right now of you will be sorry!" I yelled with tears coming from my eyes. I looked at him dead in his eye feeling the powers that were building up inside of me. "Tessa!" I call and her spirit stood next to me and hold my hand. "Kia!" she stood next to Tessa and hold her hand. Her spirit was beautiful she was wearing a white lace dress with her wing show with pride. Her golden hair hang low to her back as her eyes with golden brown, "Lakita!" I shouted and the young woman in a Victorian red dress hugged her body tight. She stood on my right and took my hand as her beautiful sky blue and green eyes shine at me. "Thank you," she whispers as she leads me with her powers. the last name I called Lucien's eyes got big and scared at the same time "Akita!" She stood next to Lakita. His brown eyes shine bright as stood tall and looked at Lucien with so much hatred. "Hello, my lover nice to see you again," Akita spoke as if she wanted to see him die today but we all know it will take some real power before that happen.
"Ladies that represent the five elements including myself, Please lead me your power and blow him right out of here," I asked
"with pleasure," Tessa said smiling evilly. lift my hand that connected with hers.
"Yes, I'll join you," Kia said with strength, She holds her hand up including the one connected to Tessa.
"He took Issac from me, Now let's burn him," Lakita shouted.
"I loved you and you betrayed me for power, You thought you will never see me again. But you are so wrong." Akita shouted as tears roll down her face.
"Each of us has a history with you. That's not pleasant but one thing I will let you know. It stops here." Lucien looked at Akita and drop to his knees. But that emotion came slowly died down as it came.
"So you think your woman can stop me." He shouted.
"No, but we can buy us some time to find a way to kill you," I said as I close my eyes and the woman followed me. I don't know what I'm doing but the feeling of power flow through me told me what I need to do. "On this day forward I will harness the power to control the elements do you ladies agree." They yell "yes" as they all came to hug me. Lucien got up and threw a fireball to try and stop the union. It didn't work because i consume it in me and my eyes turn into fire. "Big mistake." I lift my hand in the air as air swallowed us whole. Water came next trapping Lucien inside of it. Fire burns him as he screams in pain while earth crushes him and spirit blew him away and the black slime smoke she brought with him. I felt the power surround me and my body hits the ground and my vision blackout.
The twins yelled my name as they run to me. but everything went deaf and dark as if i was an empty shell. Gone just broken, out of this world but at least i knew everyone was safe and I felt my soul lift from my body. i felt empty not myself as if i was fading.
"Kira!" female number one called
"come and play." said female number two
"Don't keep us waiting." said female number three
"Come join us!" Said female number four.
I flowed towards the voices as they call to me. I saw a bright light and something was begging me to go towards it. So i did, The young woman giggles as they shine brightly in the darkness that swallows us whole. The light got brighter in my eyes, I cover them with my arm to try and block the light but no matter what i do i couldn't. As i step to the other side i see myself in the beautiful garden of evermore. I saw the young woman that dance in giggle in the garden. They look so happy but out of place.
"I bet your wondering who we are." They giggle. "It's ok we will get to that. But first, tell us who do you feel?" The purple spirit stood in front of me while red, white, blue, and purple orbs of spirits dance as with no care in the world.
"I feel like I'm missing something just don't know what it is?" She stops dancing and face me with a smile.
"Ok, ill give you a hint," the red spirit said, "We are something you truly need and connect as one." She asked as he's hop next to me.
"What are you asking?" I said not getting what she means.
"What she means is...You need us to feel whole again. You need us to feel like yourself and gain your spirit back. We are your past lives so you must remember everything to be awakened. So how you and Jace awoke without completing the rare mating process. We can't wait to see where this goes." White said as she sat in the grass to meditate. I sat down on the ground confused as to what I should do.
*Stephine and Sade P.O.V.*
"Mrs.Kira! wake up please!" I cried and sade shook her with tears. We lost our queen and there nothing we could have done. She took that man out I know that we saw it from a distance. She connected with a power she yet to discovered, Her body couldn't take it. We sat there for 45 mins crying screaming for help. Then Jess came with two babies in her arms. Her eyes grew big when she saw Issac and Kira was out.
"What happened?" We both hugged her and told her what happen. "Guards we need the medic team now." They nod and ran off. and she came and sat between us, Jess touched Kira's face. "Weird she's hot and cold at the same time as if her body is fighting to stay alive as well as fighting for death." She looked confused." How can that be? the medic came and scoop up Kira and Issac and took them to the infirmary.
I never panic in my life but when I saw her fall to the grown different colored souls came from her body and disappear i knew she lost her souls. i felt it when our link became faint.
*Kira P.O.V*
"Ok i did some thinking and the only way to go back is to remember what has been lost from each of you. So I must take a trip to the past." I said feeling kind of scare "how do I do that?" I asked the woman as they sat next to white.
"You have to come in connect with us." they close their eyes to meditate. "so who will you start with first. it will be a long journey." They asked and I got up to look at them as they humanize peacefully. I looked at them individually to see who shall I look into first. I will learn each of them . I walk towards red felt a pull towards her, she opens her eyes and stood in front of me.
"Hello my name is Tessa Michealson and I'm the fire spirit. Let me show you how i became to control this element. It all started in the under around the year 1963 where I became the queen of the under who had an act for fire. This will be a hard journey but never stray. Keep following the light and there you will see the truth. Also, there's a key to stopping Lucien." I not and hugged her she felt warm as a winter flame at a bomb fire. She giggles as her soul melt inside of me.
