I plan to gradually work on a couple of chapters at a time then release them a few at a time, I'm doing this cause I'm also working on "Take back the Night" for my friend Lucy so plz bear with me if you love this story)-
Tap tap...
That noise again?! Seriously I thought they'd learned not to pester me when I'm on my break, I did try to make it clear to them but I guess they didn't acknowledge that I wanted to be left alone. I closed my book with a snap and turned to see not those pesky kids I taught but my sister, "You told me to knock so I did" she told me bluntly. I huffed and let her into my office where I'd been having my lunch, "Yes but don't take it seriously, only the kids knock you just barge in" she huffed also and crossed her arms muttering a retort I didn't quite catch.
My sister was five years younger than me, to be precise I'm thirty and she's twenty five... We're siblings but people get us confused with girlfriend and boyfriend since we are so close and we don't look alike, it's annoying, we have to keep telling these people we're siblings not lovers. I sat down on my seat as Shard hopped up onto the desk, settling down comfortably and taking out a plastic box which contained her lunch. We both are in silence before the headteacher barged in saying the King was coming for yet another visit, it took all our willpower not to roll our eyes since this happened on a regular basis. A lot...
And as usual we lined up to greet the King, my sister kept cracking jokes about horses to pass the time earning a lot of teachers smacking her upside the head chuckling, I was trying hard to to smile and failing miserably. "Screw it" I thought and cracked a really good one about different time periods causing everyone to howl with laughter, the head glared at us after five minutes of nonstop laughing and we fell quiet. A fancy car pulled up and out stepped the King, golden blonde hair with rainbow highlights blowing in the wind and violet eyes scanning the assembled crowd.
Pity my sister ruined it by cracking yet another joke... This time about the moon and a passerby...
The King glared at her and she glared back which made everyone shiver, my sisters glare once stopped a pack of rabid wolves who were out for blood. I facepalmed as the stare off continued, the Kings stare wandered over to me and I could see a very light dusting of pink on his cheeks... Probably my imagination...
-(King's P.O.V)-
As my eyes wandered after getting bored with this stare off from the Art master, who's glare kinda reminded me of Scott when denied his favourite dessert, to land on the black haired male next to her. He had jet black hair, tan skin, reddish shades on his head but what entranced me most were his eyes... They were an abnormal blue colour, like my own purple eyes but a lot brighter and full of life and light. I felt a giddiness in my chest like millions of butterflies were all squirming around inside me, years I had waited for someone like him... Years for a mate and he was before me at last...
But as I knew he'd be very hard to get, it would take more than seduction or kidnapping it would take time... Maybe I'd false a temper loss and corner him to learn more.
-(Anthony's P.O.V)-
What happened next was a blur; colours, shapes and scents of something metallic filled my nostrils as my mind screamed out an overpowering instinct. RUN! So I ran, hoping my sister was running too, over to my favourite tree situated in the best place to watch everyone and everything from. I climbed up speedily and reached my favourite branch in seconds, pausing to breathe only when I was certain I was safe. I scanned the whole grounds. Everything was quiet. Nothing moved or made a sound. No one was even there. Except...
Tearing bark caught my attention, I looked to see the King was digging his claws into the bark of my tree using them to scale the tree. He was heading right for me! I panicked and climbed even higher, putting as much distance as possible between me and him while still being able support my weight on the branches. He climbed faster, eyes filled with an unknown emotion I thought he never possessed since he was cruel and heartless he controlled everyone's minds and twisted them to make them love him and his eternal night. Granted he did raise the sun but only once every ten years, I wished for an equal balance between day and night, my sister also wished for this balance but we knew it was impossible unless one actually defeated or killed the King and that was impossible in its own right.
I kicked out at him when he got near enough and my foot made contact with a satisfying crack, the King yelped with surprise and actual pain and fell from the tree. Something suddenly cracked alive as I saw him fall, I was engulfed in a reddish black aura and some of it formed into tentacles which darted out and grabbed the Kings ankle. I'd just done something that hadn't been heard of since the King began his rule, Magic. I'd used magic to save him from death, even though I hated him with a burning passion he was still somewhat a person and every person had to be somehow saved. I could somehow sense something inside him calling out desperately, screaming for someone to stop its pain and I just had to act.
I used my magic to set him down on the ground then jumped down, my magic braced my legs against the impact when my feet hit the ground. I glared at the King as he glared back.
"The only reason I saved you is because everyone deserves a second chance to make amends..."
-(end of chapter 1: Whew that was exhausting! I spent two days on this little by little in order to write this, the next one will take maybe three days because I'll try to make it longer and throw in a side story as well. Until next time... SALUTATIONS!!!!!)-
