DRIZELLA'S POV. Oh no! No, no, no no, I thought as our eyes met, his violet eyes stared into mine intensely making my skin warm. He looked like a predator watching its prey, I force myself to look away first as I hugged my cloak tightly, I tried to pretend like I was okay meanwhile o could pass out from fear anytime soon. “Why are you here?” I asked as he tilts his head, “Because I can?” He replies and I roll my eyes, I scoffed as I look back at him. “Well we don't need you here, you can leave” I say and I regretted talking because as soon as those words met my mouth he appeared infront of me, too close, way too close. I gasped leaning backwards as I stared at him, I noticed his face up close as his breath fans across my face, his height was imposing his shadowd moving around him, his eyes travels over my face as he raised his hand. “What are you…” the next moment my hood was off my head as my hair spilled out as the moon shone on it, “Hey!” I exclaimed stepping back as I gathered my hair frantically into the hood again. “Your behaviour is like that of an untrained child, you should leave you dark faes are trouble,” I say and he steps back, “Kael. My name is Kael” he says and I look at him, why was he telling me his name? “You fear me,” he says and I shake my head. “I fear no one Kael,” I reply and I see a slow smile form on his face, “Your heart beat says other wise” he says and you could imagine my horror. I clutched my chest quickly, “How…how can you hear my heartbeat?” I ask, “I have peculiar senses Ella.” Great heavens! Hearing him use my nickname made me want to melt, my name sounded so right coming from him. Gods! What had this dark fae done to me? I thought, “You're royalty, aren't you?” He asks me. There was absolutely no way I was telling a dark fae my real identity, no way. “I'm not,” I reply “Your hair and eyes says otherwise Ella” he says. “Mother says it's a gift,” I lied quickly and he nods, “Tell me why you're here alone,” he says “Father won't let me come out in the daytime” I reply lying easily now. “Why?” He asks, “I'm allergic to the sun,” I reply before rolling my eyes, “You're allergic to the sunlight?” He asks. “Yes i***t!” I replied and he looks at me, oh no. I'd upset him, “He does it to protect me” I say and he nods accepting my lie. “I have to go,” I say and I turn, “Could you perhaps tell me your real name?! He calls from behind, how did he know I was lying? Oh God I think I've landed myself in trouble, “I'll be here again if you want to see me,” he adds but I didn't care. I was already upset at him, first he opens my hair then he has the right to start bothering me, he definitely wasn't letting me go anytime soon. ♡ Next Morning, “Princess?!” I heard my name as I jolted. I slowly raised my head from the book I didn't have any interest in as I met my teacher staring at me, I hated it whenever I zoned off in class, the other girls usually used it as a way to insult me further. I give my teacher Master Orielon a tight smile as he hisses, “Up, get up princess” he says as I swallowed before slowly standing up, I could already hear them whispering. “You weren't listening, again princess” he says “I was…really I was,” I reply and he smirks. “If that's the case, tell me what I said last about the West region” he says and I just hoped I had magic to make the earth swallow me. I rub my palms on my dress when I hear snickering, “Silence!” He yells slamming his ruler on the table, “Speak up princess Drizella” he say. “Your father had told me to pay more attention on you,” he adds “Okay, if you can't tell me what I said last tell me what caused the light realm to always celebrate the moon festival?” He asks. “We always celebrate the moon because the first treaty was a moonstone treaty” I reply taking a wild guess, he nods. “Sit and focus!” He warns and I nod, “You're still quite as embarrassing as we were since childhood Drizella” Daphne says from behind me, I turn sharply to look at her, she was a green eyed blonde who's family supported the royal palace. “I'll rip out your tongue with my hands if you say another word against me,” I reply she pales before adjusting in her seat. “Good “ she knew better than to make me upset, I was the reason for the huge scar across her palm and I didn't care one bit. A knock echoed as Leon walks in. My teacher greets him and Leon nods, “Drizella father asks of you” he says and I nod standing up quickly, at least I didn't get to bed this horrible class. I followed Leon out towards the throne room, there I see my brothers and my father there, Sylas greets me and I smile waving at him. “Drizella won't you greet your king?” Father asks and I turn to look at him, even as much as I was upset with him, he was still my father, “king father” I bowed as I greeted him. “Rise,” he replies and I stand, I look at Elion but he looks away, although he was my brother he hated the fact that I didn't have powers. He was just like the others always treating me less, “Your mother would be coming home soon,” father says and I smiled. Mother had gone to the country side to recuperate, she had fallen really I'll but I guess she was better since she was coming back home, father tells us to be on our good behaviours and not to stress out our mother. He's about to conclud when Elion speaks, “Drizella isn't one of us Father, I always say this” his words were like a stab to the chest, “We can't let an empty fae like her feel important father,“ he adds. Heat rushes through me immediately as my cheeks reddened from embarrassment, “Elion that our sister!,” Leon snapped, “Treat her with respect” he added. “I most definitely will, once she has powers” he says. “Elion! You won't speak about your sister like that!” Father roars but nothing he did could take back his words, I stood rooted to the spot as I tried so hard to stop my tears but one falls then another. “I didn't ask to be borned empty Eli,” I say as I look at my brother my voice quivering with emotion, sometimes I pretended like I wasn't affected by thier words but today everything finally got to me. I turn on my heels as I leave the throne room, I rushed into my room and I finally let my tears fall freely, I covered my face as his words echoed in my head. Maybe he was right, maybe I wasn't one of them, I could be human. I wasn't a fae, faes had powers and I didn't. My door opens revealing Leon, he walks towards me before pulling me into his arms. “I also wish to control something Leo, I didn't ask for this…I…I never asked for this” I say as I hiccuped, he strokes my hair slowly as he whispers reassuring words to me. “Drizella you don't need to listen to Eli, he's a bitter kid” he says and I pull away, “He's not bitter he's right, they are all right. I'm just some stupid empty fae” I say “No, no don't say that Driz,” you're not empty he says wiping my tears as he leads me to the bed, “You're one of the sweetest, kindest, most caring person I've ever met Driz” he says and I forcefully smiled. “Well I guess I don't need those attributes since people don't appreciate it enough,” I say wiping my eyes softly, “I appreciate you Driz, I really do and everyone loves you so please stop worrying too much about some damned powers” he replies. “Fun fact they take a toll on you, I'm really tired of mine” he says and I laugh, he smiles brushing my hair back. “So tell me, what have you been up to?” He asks and I shake my head, “Nothing” I replied quickly, big mistake. “You're lying, you know I hate when you lie to me Drizella” he says “it's hot here, I'll open the windows” I reply as I stand to open the windows, “Drizella tell me” he says, but how do I tell my brother that I was thinking of a certain dark fae and hoping to see him tonight again.
