They were enemies
Melissa didn't know how to feel anymore...the urge swelling in the pit of her stomach demanded her to either leave this space or start asking questions... questions that will fix the puzzles of the numerous dreams she had... questions that would perhaps refresh her memory or who it was that has her ring... questions that would...wait! her ring! melody had also told her the death of the ring is the death of her.... without her wearing the ring...it would rust and eventually fade away... without her...the ring cannot stay immortal and without the ring she cannot remain immortal...oh god! she really has to find the ring...she really has to remember everything...the uneasiness had skyrocketed to the extent she was subconsciously changing position on her throne....the music had changed and there was just a melodious theme music now and the dancers on the floor had left.... little did she know she was the light to this ball...but the way her mood was swinging and shifting....from clue to clueless...what to do and 'no! that's a bad idea' had completely drawn everyone's attention to her...cause the white and blue sea lights were turning red and sea green...which meant hope and fear.... everyone could easily tell the damsel was scared ... although they knew it must have to do with her memory loss...but they didn't actually know it would bother her so much
melody took a step forward but immediately halted ... although she was hesitant weather or not it was the best thing to approach the damsel in public like this and coax her ...it meant to other eyes that she was in control and not the damsel...it indeed was a bad omen...but she'd also stopped because of that aura....a cold one that swept through the ball... almost turning these mermaids in to ice sculptures... .she looked over her shoulder and everyone was giving way for something...no someone...'what a grand entrance' she mumbled to herself but she subconsciously gave way too as the figure came in view ..that person they'd long been waiting for...'the lord of lilies '...he was the epitome of the god of sexy ... indeed masculine... his lord legs swept pass the floor gracefully but also not leaving a sound...it was almost like he was walking in the air...he immediately approached the throne where the damsel sat ... overwhelmed with her thoughts and oblivious to this happening....the stood on the mermaid tail at the feet of the throne... and the tail... recognizing him...formed a stair case and without him walking...the steps carried him up till he reached the high up seat and he sat...he didn't look at Melissa at all. .he didn't seem to be bothered ...he looked at the people and without a word...he gestured them to continue... which they immediately did ...he was beginning to enjoy the party...he brought out his own white and blue sea lights to avoid them panicking from the damsel's displaced thought...but his was not enough... not like it worried him...but Melissa's thoughts were still infiltrating and she was still restless....
Melissa turned adjusting again and this time around...her hand touched the lord...she paused... feeling a cold substance on her skin...fleashie but still hard... telling her it was masculine...the lord had immediately turned to her with creased brows as he stared at their hands...the expression on his face looked like..the feeling of her hands reminded him of something....she snapped out of her lost world and looked down at the cold pale creamy colored hand. .the complexion was tuned ..just as tuned as hers...just her skin was softer...far softer... she swallowed hard subconsciously and trailed her eyes slowly until she met the owner's eyes and their eyes lucked
"welcome back damsel" was what he said without moving away from her or adverting his gaze. . Melissa's light had turned to normal and the party was going on well. .her mouth was slightly opened as she stared at the lord in the eye...his eyes were green... his perfectly pointed nose and chiseled face...his lips ....pink and thin and soft...she didn't know why but she felt deja Vu....she'd met him before...she knows him too well....
"lord Allen!" she called out to him...he smirked
"of course you'd remember me"he was saying...but before he finished... Melissa was already back to her end with a frown on her face...they were enemies!
Lord Allen burst into a sarcastic laughter. . although not drawing anybody's attention...he didn't stop until he realized he was going to get drowned in it...he turned in her direction and saw she was folding her hands and kept her face like a toddler rejecting a bowl of soup and demanding for candy instead... standing her ground with an intense expression of anger....he couldn't help but burst into a phase two dark laughter... expressing more than mockery.... amusement!..well he didn't think she was going to remember him...but she did anyway ...she remembered everything.
"oh little damsel...have you gotten your memories back now?"he continued...not letting go of a grin he'd recently worn while staring intensely at her hoping to intimidate her. Melissa ignored pretending he wasn't there but she couldn't even drop her shoulders...it was Damm obvious she was holding her breath
"breathe meli" he continued.... Melissa turned to him and eyed him
"don't call me meli Allen...you don't have the right to"she was almost yelling
"I can call you what ever pleases me"he rebutted...this time adverting his gaze and staring into the party down them...his grin had already disappeared and he leaned an arm on the fin like arm rest.
"no you don't"she countered staring at him"I'd throw you out"
lord Allen seemed to have almost puked with the way he choked and he stared at her...he could have laughted right now but no...this was serious..he felt angered
"throw me out you say?"he turned to stare at her in the eye...his gaze like swords and arrows..but the damsel wasn't moved "we're equals Melissa...you don't throw an equal out...truth be told...you don't have your ring which means I'm higher than you in rank... and let me remind you...I rule two kingdoms and you rule one. ..no sorry...I rule this kingdom and the universe of the three lands...you don't have any superiority over me"
"that's what you said!...I'm still the damsel... without me ..."she paused.."without me.."she couldn't find her words... and Allen could only laugh again
"that's right Melissa... without you... there's nothing that will be harmed... everyone will be fine without noticing you demise..."he said
"that's rude Allen...you actually plan for me to die?"she said...pain evident in her eyes like a dagger was twisting and whining in there
"I'm not going to hurt you Melissa...I don't have to...but soon your ring will fade into my desert and give me the power to become all superior...I'd have the ring...it's only a matter of time"he reported
Melissa only relaxed into her seat and turned away from him...he'd sited the obvious but why..? why can't she remember where and who had collected her ring?
