Bella's pov
"Your parents sent us to take you back." Finn says .
I stare at them for a few seconds and bust out laughing. "Nice one guys, but it's a lame joke. My parents died while I was a baby. I have classes to attend ." I turn away from them and am about to start walking. I stop mid stride as a little tornado forms infront of me.
I look at Finn who is like controlling it. Jasper opens his hand and a little tornado is floating or whatever on his palm. My mouth opens but no words come out.
"Will you hear us out now?" Jasper says looking at me expectantly. After a few seconds I close my mouth and nod. Maybe they know something about my strangeness.
Finn nods at me and the two tornados vanish. "My brother and I are the princes of the air kingdom. Your mother and the late queen of our kingdom are twins. Your mother queen of the water kingdom and werewolves has sent us to take you back to the castle." Finn says
My mother. The queen? Am so confused. The letter I was left with said my parents died in a car crash. I look at the two men. "Bella you have to believe us, you are a princess of two powerful kingdoms and the fire king is out to kill you. Atom won't stop at nothing till he spills your blood." Finns says clearly losing his patience.
I frown at that. Atom can never hurt me. I feel it inside my very heart every time he holds me.
I shake my head and step away from them. Jasper is the first one to snap. He moves so quickly that it takes time for me to realize he has locked me in his arms. "Finn open the portal now!" He yells at his brother.
Finn does some weird symbols in the air and a hole of some sort opens. A bright white light comes out from it and I scream bloody murder.
Suddenly Jasper lets go of me like I burnt him . When I look at him his shirt is on fire. I see Atom running towards us with a murderous glint in his eyes but that's not what shocks me, his entire fist is on fire and everywhere he steps smokes rises.
I feel like I can pass out but I can't look away as Atom reaches Jasper who is trying to put out the fire on his shirt and punches him in the face with a fist of fire.
Finn tries to hit Atom from the back but Atom is on to his plan. He lands a round kick to his face and Finn blocks it but staggers away from him. Before Atom could get his hands on any of them a strong wind blows make me shield my eyes.
When it gets calm I slowly drop my hand but I scream as I see my hand on fire. No my whole freaking body is in flames, but I don't feel any pain. Atom's head snaps to me me and rushes over. "Little one are you okay?" He scans me from head to toe, checking for any possible injuries.
"Am on fire." I say still looking at my burning body. Isn't fire supposed to burn? It's not like I don't know, I mean I got the message pretty clearly when aunt Octave put my hand on the burning stove.
"Hey that's just me. My flames can't hurt you, even if I wanted to hurt you which is impossible." Atom says to me try to make me look at him. "Here look at this." He says and waves his hand over mine. All the fire goes to his hand and am left flame free. Not even a speck of ash or smoke. Anywhere.
"So it's true, you are the fire king?" I finally speak up. Atom nods at me. "Am sorry I hid it from you. Wanted to tell you at the right moment." Says and he looks vulnerable. I frown at that.
"Please Bella. Always know that I will never hurt you. Am only made to protect you." He says tilting my chin so I can look at him.
I touch his cheek and smile at him. "I know. Can we not talk about this please." I ask softly. He smiles at me and nods.
He hugs me and buries his face in my hair. We stand like that for a few minutes and Atom speaks up. "I thought I lost you. I have never been so scared in my life" he confesses still holding me close to him. It's like he doesn't wanna let me go, like immediately he loosens his grip on me I will disappear into thin air. I pull away gently and look at him . "Hey am not going anywhere. Am here." I say softly and his tense shoulders relax a bit.
He nods and links our fingers together. He leads us through the forest and we reach the lake. I sigh in relief atleast we are not lost.
Then a thought appears in my mind. "Atom?" I call him and he turns to me. "Yes little one?" He says . "How did you find me?" The question takes Atom off guard but he recovers quickly and leads me to a spot near the lake with neatly trimmed grass and helps me sit. He sits behind me and has his legs on either side of me. He pulls me to him so my back is leaning on his muscular front.
"Do you believe in soulmates Bella?" Atom asks me. I feel a little bit surprised at his use of my name. I pounder over the question for a minute and I nod.
"I knew where you were because I could feel your distress. In our realm everyone is assigned a soulmate. And they are able to sense each other." He pauses and I sit up and turn to him. So that means-" I start, "we are soulmates." Atom finishes.
"So that means am your girlfriend?" I ask and my cheeks heat up. Atom frowns at something and before I could apologize he speaks up. "You are not my girlfriend." I feel my heart c***k. What?!
"Being my mate is more deeper that a silly relationship. It means we have to spend forever together." He says softly while he brushes his hand through my hair. I feel my cheeks blush.
"Don't I get a choice?" I ask in a whisper. Atom's eyes harden but he doesn't stop caressing my hair. "There is always a choice. You can reject me but I don't think I can let you go, so you have no choice. You are mine and I am yours." He says and plants a soft but hot kiss on my lips. I sigh in the kiss and Atom lifts me and places me on his laps.
We make out for what seems like hours. When we break the kiss and my eyes widen in fear. Sweet Jesus not again. It's already dark. How did I not notice?
I mentally wince at the bloody image forming in my head.
I quickly stand up and Atom stands too. "What is wrong he says worry clearly showing in his eyes.
"It's nothing I just have to get home. It's late." I rush out . I kiss his lips and my cheeks flame up. I turn around and break into a sprint. I skid to a stop when I see uncle James sitting on the front door porch holding a chain.
I visibly gulp. "I guess this is it." I whisper to myself.
