4 They are Here....(Chapter 3)

All I could do was pace back and forth in my chamber. I had to kill the Prince of Haydren! I tasted blood realising I had been chewing at my fingers I folded my arms. I told my father that I would do it in honour of my mother. And I will. No lightning should ever get the satisfaction of killing a Nightslayer. But something just didn't feel right. I had never met the man. Usually if I was sent to kill someone in the CREE, I would do my research on them. Understand them. But on Damien Lucent, I had nothing other than the fact he was the Prince of Haydren.

"Are you alright?" Isla asked slowly retreating from me.

"I'm fine Isla I'm not gonna explode." Isla looks at me hesitantly before walking in with a basket of clothes. She suddenly pulls out a locket with the Darvos seal. I look at her surprised.

"What? You don't think I forgot it was your birthday did you?"

She put the necklace around me with her eyes full of joy. A giggle escaped my lips and I hugged her trying to stop my eyes from watering.

"Thank you Isla. I love it. And you." She smiles returning my hug. She makes the bed taking sneaky glances at me in the mirror. "You alright? Did your father say something?"

I look away trying to make something up on the spot.

"Yeah uhh... I think with everything going on.. father forgot it was my 190th today."

A girls 190th birthday was significant in the history of the Nightslayers. It was the year she would be paired with her soulmate and be married to him for eternity. All she would do is drop her blood in the Lake of Truth and her soulmate would be revealed as the moon would shine only on him making it easy on the Daughter or Darkness to find him. It's beautiful really.

"You sure it was just that? You know you can talk to me about anything." I contemplated telling her about my secret mission but suddenly there is a knock at my door. Isla goes to open it. On the other side was none other than Drake Salvadore.

"May I come in?" He sweetly asks, Isla raised an eyebrow to display her displeasure and turned around to me to get permission. I nod my head slightly in agreement and Isla moves out the way ushering him in.

"Kat if you don't mind I think I'm going to go. I have much to do before your Party- I meaan the banquet...." she says to me before hurriedly leaving glaring at Drake before she leaves closing the door behind her. We hadn't seen eachother in months and before he left, he told me he loved me. I liked him and we were courted (paired) but I don't think I ever felt love for him. I love him. But I'm not sure if I'm in love with him. There is a difference. Right?

" How was your mission? Successful?" I ask to break the silence. I remove my swords and heavy jacket lying them neatly on the bed.

"Of course it was successful." He took a step towards me. Now Drake was a very attractive man. If Drake was a noble, he would beat Ryan for the most eligible batchelor in the whole of Valtor. Drake was only a year older than me but he was one of the most skilled fighters in Valtor. He took another step towards me and another until I could feel his hot heavy breath on my neck.

"I missed you kitty." Slithered out of his mouth. I look up to meet his eyes. He placed his hand on my chin slightly raising it towards his lips. His grey eyes searched mine as we stated into them. I was against the wall, his weight slowly leaning on me as our bodies got closer I could taste him. He put his hand under my shirt touching my bare waist. His warm strong hands manuvering my waist to fit his body exactly like a puzzle piece. I could feel the muscle in his lower area tense and rise, as it needed somewhere to enter. Our lips met in a longing lustful kiss growing ever more passionate as we explored eachother deeper. His hands painted my body as they explored all my sacred areas, but we never went further than that even though I knew he wanted to. Suddenly I was thrust into the bed in an act of passion. He crawled ontop of me exploring, kissing and sucking as he went up and down. A moan escaped my mouth that I had never heard before. We were suddenly interrupted by a knock on my door. Drake stopped and stood up with a overwhelming look of disappointment on his face that caused me to giggle. I quickly fixed myself up and called out for them to enter. Ryan opened the door looking flushed and out of breath.

"Karina- and Drake" he looked confused as to why Drake was in my room. But he quickly overlooked it as there were bigger things afoot. "Guys come quick!"

"What's wrong?"

"The Lightnings , They are here."
