I Think I am a Faerie

As soon as they had arrived back at the castle, Adonis led them to his office, ushered Diviya to a couch where she can sit and relax.

He then did his checks with a device he pulled out of a secret compartment. Then he proceeded to check his mails. "Will be with you shortly, I just have some things to check on."

"Ok, sure of course." Diviya answers in a small voice.

While Adonis was busy with his work, Diviya's eyes roams the office. She then stroll by one of the windows, she remained there as she took in the beautiful expanse of the castle grounds. At least as far as she could see.

After a while, Adonis now regards Diviya for a good moment, then he ask her "are you ok? You know after That!"

He was now standing by his liquor cabinet pouring himself a drink and he offers her one as well. Adonis just wanted to know if she was alright after what she'd witnessed.

Honestly Diviya had not spared another thought in the direction of that werewolf.

She shrugs and turns slightly to face him, "that really seems to be the last thing on my mind right now."

"Really?," Adonis says.

"Yea really I am fine…And yes I would love a drink, like a virgin cocktail." Diviya was no drinker, that was clear.

"Then what is? Come on now you got to tell me", Adonis probes Diviya now concerned.

She looked a bit distant a moment ago standing there looking out the massive window.

Diviya sighs, "Actually I am in desperate need of a manicure and a pedicure and was just wondering where do I go to get those done?

She lied, well not totally as it was on her mind to ask about a mani pedi but just not when he had asked.

When he had asked she was actually thinking of how to broach the subject of what she wanted to ask and discuss earlier.

"Ah," Adonis says thoughtfully, "easy, that is actually one of the things I wanted to discuss with you earlier at breakfast."

Adonis then went on to explain after whipping up her drink, now he and Diviya was sitting comfortably on the couch in his Office casually talking to one another. While he sips on and nurse his scotch.

As it turns out, Bridget can assist her with anything she needs. Whether to go shopping for her needs or have a manicure, a pedicure or hair day. Or to buy a dress for the ball. He smiles at her, he just had to throw that in there.

"Oh yes right, I remember her from yesterday, she brought in my new wardrobe of clothing, thank you for that." She says looking at him genuinely.

"You are most welcome, but do know that I would do anything for you, you need only ask." With so much certainty and he wore an intense look.

Anytime he looks at her a certain way she feels like he is staring right into her soul and can truly see her.

Finding her voice after a moment she says nervously, "okay, she had told me she was my lady in waiting".

Adonis' head slants in her direction, "yes she is, she is here to assist you with your day to day. This morning I had taken you away early, informing her of my plans. Hence Bridget did not show. However from tomorrow morning she should be in your room at eight am."

Diviya nod at him. She went over the information in her mind.

Nevertheless after a small moment of silence while Adonis took a call, Diviya recalls her question she wanted to ask earlier. When she says out of nowhere when the call ended..

"Hey, earlier when you spoke of things that were deadly to each of the different kind, please, tell me what are deadly to a Faerie?"

Diviya really wanted to know what can harm her, so she decided to just blurt it out. Then just like that her heart rate slightly picks up as she looks at him and await his response.

Was she nervous to find out? Or was it anticipation of knowing? Oh Diviya did not know.

Meanwhile Adonis' chest tightens, Michael had actually fill him in on this just this morning when he woke up. About his and Diviya's conversation and Adonis had admit to himself he did not like that very much.

Michael was yet again in a position to know things about her before he did but he understood. HE had arrange for the tour giving her something to do while he and Dracul visited the suspects.

Also HE was the one who ghosted her.

If she was to open up to someone, at that time it would not have been him.

And he trusted Michael with the tour more than he trusted Beta Drew.

In the end Adonis was inclined to also believe she was part Faerie and he just could not bare the thought of something happening to her.

Also he knew it was wise that she knew exactly what can harm her. This way she can stay clear from its path.

"We call it Botanicalythea. It paralyzes you then kills you if not given the antidote in time."

Adonis spoke while his eyes searches Diviya's.

"Also a faerie need to be aware of Riciday, this kills all the cells in their body and again this is fatal if they don't get the treatment in time, but this one is not as fast acting as the Botanicalythea."

"Oh," Diviya says looking at her glass of cocktail.

After a moment she thought she should share with him about her suspicions of herself now and on the other hand Adonis was observing her closely.

Just taking in her every move, the way she was standing at the window, the way she was sitting now, or smiles. The look on her face when she was startled by something or surprised. Even the way she creases her eyebrows when deep in thought.

Even now as she was processing what he was saying. How she sips on the cocktail like it's so tasty.

Adonis could observe her all day everyday, it was almost creepy the way he was observing her so intently as he wonders when she will open up to him.

Diviya's beautiful green eyes lifts and looks at Adonis and she found him already looking at her as if studying her when she says, "I think I am a Faerie."

His beasts were pleased that Diviya chose to open up. It was so unexpected and he was literally just thinking about that so it caught him off guard.

Though Diviya had explained earlier about her chat with Michael, she had not brought this up, and this is what he was waiting on. The thing that meant something to her. Goddess and this feeling just for the mere fact of her opening up to him. It was immense.

"What makes you say that?" Adonis carefully asks genuinely wanting to know.

And then Diviya opens up about herself and her suspicions and also her conversation with Michael.

She also told him she has no idea who her birth parents were or why they gave her away.

Adonis had offered to have her blood tested. There is a database—this is the hospital's database of the magical beings— which can be checked to see if by chance there was at least a close match.

He was not that hopeful that they will find a perfect match but maybe they might have some luck and find a distant relative. And hopefully that can then lead to something.

Diviya dove on him out of sheer joy, she hugged him tight burying her face in his chest, given the angle they were sitting in.

Adonis was stunned for a moment, surprised of her action, it took him a few seconds to respond. But he did by wrapping his arms around her, holding her tight to his chest.

His chest area was swollen, it felt heavy, with what he was unsure. But it was intense. This felt so right.

No one ever dared to reach out and grab him like this, not even the likes of Sadie could have touch him just like that.

Yet here he was as still and calm as a lamb. Not even wanting her to let go. As a matter of fact he tightens his grip around her when she started to slightly tremble.

Diviya shook a bit, this was something at least she thought. She was not that naïve to believe it will be that easy, but she hope it may lead to something and she was overjoyed yet again for his help.

She trembled in his grasp as thoughts of Adonis' continued support consumes her and he was breaking down the barrier she was trying so steadfastly to build.

Well who was she kidding, she was failing from the first night to build this wall firmly.

However she reminded herself it has only been a few days since she has been here and even less where contact with HIM can be counted and taken into consideration…
