29: Hidden truth

Many Earth years ago ...

Planet: Everotorn

Location: Royal Citadel

"Jewels," my mother called entering my room. I could see her feet from beneath the bed. "Darling, please, you must do this."

"No."

"Our city is failing because the energy system is almost empty, our people need you to refill it," she tried to reason with me, but I hated it. "I am not going to force you but if you do not, we will be open to attacks from our enemies, you know this."

I would never tell my mother or father but it hurt when they extracted the energy from me, it hurt so much.

My bedroom door suddenly opened and I see my father walk in. "Where is she? The main healing quarter's power has failed."

"She does not—"

"Hundreds are going to sleep forever," he cuts my mother off. "Jewels if you do not do this, they will be on your head. Our people will not accept you as their princess."

"Henry!" my mother yelled, her voice angry. "We will not force her into doing this! I will remind you, she is our daughter!"

"Do you think I do not know this? Our city depends on her energy! You know what will happen if she does not refill the energy."

"We should not have built a city that depends on her, it is not right." My mother's voice was shaking and I heard a sob escape her lips. "We should not treat her like that, she is still a hatchling."

My father sighed heavily. "Alright, I will talk with Hetric to see if he can come up with another source of power until Jewels is ready." My door shuts signalling my father had left.

"You can come out now."

I crawled out from under the bed and ran into my mother's arms, she hushes me and holds me close to her. She whispered, "Everything will be alright, my daughter, you are special."

"My ability, where does it come from?"

I felt her tense at my question. "I cannot tell you because knowing the truth can hurt you more than not knowing it."

Current Earth time ...

Planet: Earth

Location: Camp Jameson

The air still lingered with the smell of smoke and people rushed to fix the main gate that had been crippled by the Borum a few hours ago. I could not help but wonder how that creature looked so much like my mother and the thought that she still could be alive somewhere made me hopeful.

"Jewels? Are you ready?" James asked as he slings a bag over his shoulder.

Apparently, he was going to show me something, a secret place only he knows about. James said he wanted to spend the night with me away from the camp.

I nodded stepping out of his hut. "Yes, but will you tell me where we are going?"

"If I told you, babe, it wouldn't be a surprise now, would it?" A slight smirk was present on his face as he took my hand in his and intertwined our fingers. "It's not very far from camp, but we have to walk."

"Oh, okay," I replied walking along side him as we made our way towards the east gate. "James?" When he hummed in response, I continued, "I am glad you asked me to be your friend girl, I like eating your lips they are so—"

"Girlfriend and it's called kissing, remember." He turned his head with a grin across his lips. "I'm happy you like being my girlfriend, Jewels. I was afraid you'd say no."

"Oh?"

"I don't have the best record with Lucy and ... well—"

"What were you doing with Lucy that day I walked in?" I suddenly found myself asking, curiosity getting the better of me.

James tensed then stopped in the middle of the darkened street, he grabbed my waist and pulled me to him. "Something I would like to eventually try with you when you're ready."

"But—"

"No, I'll explain it when you're ready. I don't want us to rush into anything, okay?"

I got lost in his hazel eyes that almost looked black due to the night. "How will I know when I am ready?"

James brought his lips to my ear and whispered, "Trust me, you'll know."

*****

I was shocked at the view before me.

After walking through the forest on a hidden pathway, the sound of flowing water entered my ears. We came to a small canyon hidden amongst the trees with a waterfall flowing over the edge and down to a pool, the light in the sky shining brightly above us. I always admired how at night the light was not as bright or large as the one in the day.

"James," I breathed out and watched as he placed a bag on a rock near the water's edge. "This is ... beautiful."

James stands up and takes a few strides over to me, he cups my face and leaned his forehead against mine. "You are more beautiful, Jewels." I blushed at his words. "No need to be embarrassed, now come on." He takes my hand and leads me to the edge of the water.

"What are we doing?" I questioned as he removed his shirt. I could not help but scan his bare torso. There were so many marks covering his tanned skin. "James? Why are you—" I am cut off when he slid his jeans down his legs and steps out of them.

"I dunno about you, but it's a warm night so I'm taking a dip." He smiled putting his right foot in the water. "You can come in, love."

Love?

"I do not know, James, I have never been ... bare in front of anyone." I felt the heat rushing to my cheeks. He turned around and grabbed my hand. In a swift movement, I am picked up and thrown into the water. I am quick to swim through the water that was surprisingly warm, breaking through the surface. "James!" I laughed.

I could not see him anywhere. "James?" I called out, moving to the edge of the water, with my feet now touching the bottom I stand up and walk onto the dry land. My eyes scanned the place I once stood but he was not there. "James, where are you?"

Only seconds pass before strong marked arms embraced me from behind, I sucked in a breath to scream but he spins me around and looks into my eyes and says, "I'm sorry I scared you."

"It is fine," I told him watching droplets of water roll down his bare chest. I could not help but notice how he gazed at me, his eyes scanning my face.

James pulled me closer to him, his hands gripping my hips causing the wet material of my pants to stick to my skin. "Jewels," he breathed, I could feel the warmth of his breath. Using one of his hands he reaches up to my face and tucks a strand of wet hair behind my ear, and asked, "May I kiss you?"

I bring my bottom lip between my teeth and nodded, the second my head stopped moving his lips were on mine. I would never get used to this feeling deep within my stomach each time he kissed me. I felt his tongue swipe my lips, I parted them and he hesitated but when I give him a smile he slips his tongue into my mouth.

It was a weird feeling to have someone's tongue inside your mouth, I was scared I would bite him. He licked the roof of my mouth before I felt his tongue touching my own, and at this very movement, I sensed the atmosphere around us had shifted. James kissed me more hungrily, it was still soft but the pace of the kiss increased.

His hand on my hip moved up and positioned itself at the zipper of my jacket, I could feel him unzipping it.

I did not know why he wanted to remove my jacket, but I allowed him. Soon it was on the ground near the rock his own clothes laid on. "Up," he told me, and even though I did not respond James wrapped both hands around my thighs and lifted me to his waist.

I wrapped my legs tightly around him as I tugged at the roots of his black hair and he groaned in response. "James," I breathed out, a feeling of desire rising within me.

"Do you want to stop?" he asked moving his lips to my neck. I could feel him gently suck on my skin. "Jewels, you have to tell me or I won't be able to stop myself."

"I do not know," I spoke the truth. "I-I like this feeling."

James smiled against my neck and walked backwards until my back was against a large rock, his hands move higher on my thighs until he reached the band of my underwear.

"Would you like to try what I was doing with Luc—" he was cut off by a sudden noise which catches both of our attention. It was a deep trumpet-like sound.

"Crap." James was quick to unwrap my legs from around, picks up his own clothes and puts them on. "Jewels, we have to go." He picked up my wet jacket and throws it to me.

"What is going on?" I asked placing my arms through my jacket's sleeves and then zipped it up.

With no warning, James pulled me to him and we walked into the water. I followed his lead as he swam towards the waterfall. We stopped once we disappeared behind the water escalating down the steep cliff and climbed up on some rocks.

"W—"

James placed his hand over my mouth, the second he did a group of Borums emerged from the forest and began scanning the area. It was obvious they were looking for something or someone.

Us.
