The Vampire and His Fairy

Questions

(Kataya P.O.V.)

We finally arrived at the Dragon’s home, it felt like it had taken us almost a week I knew it was much shorter than that William was pleasant company but I wanted out of this carriage. It was late morning early afternoon, I had lost track of time, William had the carriage brought into the stables where he could get out and make sure that the light was at a level that would not cause me undo pain, he was gone a while I guessed he had also made sure the living quarters were also adjusted for my benefit. He had mentioned something about a tour of the Fairies living area I was looking forward to walking around a bit, I was stiff from sitting so long.

Once we were indoor my worry of overly bright light went down greatly, what I saw inside took me by surprise they had nice furniture at least better than I have ever seen being provided by a master of any kind. There were books and small gardens every where, the Fairies themselves seemed pleasant enough but I could see that some were not as nice as they made themselves seem. The living area was well decorated everything anyone could possibly want was there from books to jewelry making supplies it was as if they could sit and do anything that they wanted. Once we were done with the tour William took me to what was my room I guessed it was rather secluded form everyone else, I like this fact I was overwhelmed with everything I just saw. We entered the room it was well furnished as well I tried to take in the whole when William shut the door turned and spoke to me:

“Alright, that was the tour, this will be your room, I am in the room across the hall, in case you need anything. There are a couple of the reason for having you close to me, one, not all those here are nice to new comers, two, to make sure that this situation is dealt with. You will have the best care we can provide, this is Kalynn she will see to getting you settled.” said William.

As he said this last part he gestured towards the door and an older Fairy walked in, she seemed familiar but I could not explain why at that moment, as she entered she smiled warmly at me William bid me good night and left. Kalynn came over and helped me to a chair I was sure my exhaustion was obvious on my face, that was the most interaction with people in quiet a while. I sat there catching my breathe when the strangest sensation came over me a rush of emotions but it was odd it was like they were mine but not, how could that be? I was angry but not at anyone here, I was angry at Marcus and Erik, this was confusing neither of them were here why was I feeling this then? When you add this event with my own feelings on the ride over I did not know what to do with this situation let alone who I could trust to tell this to. I had questions and no answers wonderful. Kalynn must have seen the confusion on my face, could I trust her? No I knew better than to trust people with out them proving themselves, so I could not talk to her about this, whatever this was. I did know I was scared, I was scared of what was happening with me, I was scared in a way of my own feeling for O’Flynne why did I care about him? Where were these feeling of unbearable rage coming from?

Kalynn set about to making a cup of tea, as she started to brew it and the smell hit my nose I knew that smell, I knew it well it was a tea that my Aunt Kalynn would make no one else could make it right. I looked at her questioningly, she was the right age to be my Aunt, but that was not possible, was it? She finished making the cup of tea brought it to me and sat down next to me what she did next surprised me.

“How are you my dear, Kat?” Kalynn asked.

I almost dropped the cup, I managed to catch it before I did, Auntie Kalynn I thought no it can not be her, but she was the only one who ever called me Kat, I had to know for sure if she really was my auntie there was only one way and that was to ask.

“Auntie Kalynn, Queen Karain sister?”

“Yes, Kat it’s me. Auntie Kalynn, your mothers sister.”

“Oh Auntie, I am so happy to see you. I am so confused I need something, oh please help.”

I started to sob so hard, I had not seen any in my family in so many years that I just crumpled to the floor she came right over and held me she soothed me. I hoped that someone may help me to understand what was going on with me, Oh Mother Nature thank you for this mercy! We sat thee for I do not know how long before I stopped sobbing, I heard the tune she was humming I knew it from somewhere, I think from when I was a child, she never let me go, when I finally moved to look at her I could see that she had been crying too. We sat there a while longer when a bell sounded in the living area, I looked at her and said:

“What is that?”

“That is the dinner bell, how about I go get us dinner and we can sit at the table here and talk, hows that sound my Little Flower?” Kalynn asked.

“Oh Auntie that sound wonderful. I’ve missed you so much Auntie.” I said.

“Alright I will be right back with dinner are you able to eat normal food, or do need soft food?” she asked.

“Normal food, as long as it is not to hard. I know I look unwell.” I said.

“You do you can tell me all about while we eat.” she said with a smile.

We stood up and she hugged me and left to get us dinner, I slowly made my way around what was now my room it was supplied with clothes and bathing essentials. I then saw a small book case, it stood about five feet tall I was very pleased to see book in my room I hopped this meant that I could actually read them myself. I picked one up it felt so good to hold a book again, I started to smile, but part of me wished O’Flynne was here letting me read to him. I was now able to stand for a short periods of time, I stood there looking over the book until Auntie came back, turned and saw her holding two plates of food, and she smiled a warm happy smile, I smiled back and for a moment I was happy, the it happened again a wave of emotions hit me like a ton of bricks. It was uncontrollable rage, then the most coldest feeling almost as if I was falling into a bottomless bit of fear and despair. What was going on? It hit all at once, this time, I was happy so why did that happen? Thankfully it passed quickly, I was able to sit at the small dinning area with Auntie and enjoy dinner with her.

We talked about how she ended up here in the service of The Dragon, as well as what she could stomach to tell me of what happened

after the Dark Queen attacked our home. She talked about Masters she has had very the years as well as places she had seen. We then just talked about people we knew things that we both had done it was so wonderful to be able to just talk to family I had missed it so much. Then we came around to me and what I had been through recently, I told her about Marcus and that he was the Headmaster of The Masters household although his treatment was less than nice, then came the topic of Erik the Quartermaster. I describe the things that they had put me through and then explained that The Master was unaware of what was really happening because they would do these horrible things while The Master was away for trade. Then came the part of O’Flynne, I do not why I do not tell people his name right away but somehow I know it is better they hear the good things he was doing before they hear who it is. Then came the part about the fact that I was sold to O’Flynne, and that Marcus sold me to The Dragon behind The Master’s back while he was confined to his quarters, a fact that was not sure how he managed to pull off but he did.

“Wait so this Marcus actually thought that he could sell you when he was already being punished for mistreating you, as well as doing so without The Masters approval, is he stupid?” she asked.

“Yes, I do not know what happened to Erik but the visiting lord was different.” I replied.

“How so, dear?” Kalynn asked.

“Well, instead of not caring like most with power, he almost killed Marcus when he saw me in the cells, and saw how bad off I was. Once I was awake and The Master gave permission, he was always around making sure I was taken care of properly, he asked those administering medicines what they were for, it was the strangest thing.” I answered.

I had not noticed but I had trailed off and was lost in thought, O’Flynne Oh Mother Nature why did I miss him so much, we barely knew each other, why did I care for him so deeply? I felt lost without him near me, I was depressed even because of this. I just wanted to hear his voice reading to me again, I forced my mind back to the present to find my auntie smiling, knowingly at me oh dear was it that obvious?

“What’s that smile for?” I asked

“You like him, don’t you?” Kalynn asked.

“You know, I do. But I do not know what he wants. Every Lord or master wants something when they are this nice. I just can’t figure out what he wants with me or why? He said he was sent to find a Fairy, he also said that he was sure I was who he was looking for.” I answered.

“What is his name?” Kalynn asked.

“O’Flynne, Aiden O’Flynne. I know the stories, but recent tales are that he was given a second chance by the High Order. From what The Master has said this is true, even the Representative from the High Order said the same tale as well.” I answered.

Kalynn was quiet when I said his name, her face was that of contemplation, she was thinking of what this could mean, she was well versed in many things of the Orders, if anyone knew why this was happening she would. I hoped she would know and be able to answer at least some of my questions, if anything she may have a better idea of what’s going on with me. I then had another wave of emotions, this time I could tell that this was not my emotions but someone else emotions that I was feeling. This time the emotions were so intense that I gasped slightly, indescribable fear and loss. The pain was so great that I could barely stay focused on Auntie Kalynn, my vision started to blurred, it was heart wrenching whoever this was I could not bare this, if this kept happening. It was like I was Magically linked to someone. Why would someone do this? Is it possibly that I was linked to O’Flynne somehow or someone else? As this continued Kalynn then spoke:

“He was sent to find a Fairy, no description, nothing to go on?” Kalynn asked.

Because of the intensity I was barely able to nod my head in response to her, I finally was able to nod no. Kalynn noticed what was going on she sat there with concern on her face but stayed still and quiet so that I could get through this and we could talk more I hoped she could help.

“Your feeling emotions that are not yours aren’t you?” she asked.

“Yes, how did you know?” I asked.

She looked at me a long moment, then she spoke:

“If I was to tell you I would put both you and the person you are connected to in great danger. I will teach you how to deal with it. DO NOT TELL ANYONE! Do you understand?”

“Yes.” I answered.

“Good. The first thing you must do is, learn to focus on your present surroundings when it happens.” Kalynn said.

“Alright, I will try Auntie.” I said.

“Good, it is late you should try and get some sleep.” Kalynn said

She hugged me kissed me on the forehead like she used to when I was a child, I knew her smell it was the same as when I was a child. That hug I could fell her magic it was the same older maybe but it was really my Aunt. That made me feel so much better to know that someone was not playing a cruel trick on me. I sat back down after she left, I sat there thinking. It seemed like I had plenty of time to think these days, however I still had no answers to my questions. I was connected to someone but did not know who, it was dangerous that I was connected to someone, why? I cared for a Vampire Lord who was also my owner, why? I was so confused and no matter how I looked at what was going on I still had nothing, no answers just question, Gods this was frustrating. I do not know when I finally went to bed, but I did not sleep well that night, I kept having nightmares that O’Flynne was killed by the Dragon. I woke up exhausted and scared the worst way to wake up in my opinion.

The next day after breakfast there was a knock at the door I answered: “Yes?”

William entered and smiled and spoke:

“Good morning, how are you?”

“Alright, I’m tried but alright.” I replied.

He walked further in the room, and sat down in one of the chair and his eyes showed great concern for me, I could not tell why but this comforted me some. He then spoke:

“Something wrong?”

“Not exactly, William, I am scared for O’Flynne, I understand the laws about double ownership I know what is required, I do not want to see O’Flynne hurt because of what Marcus has done. It is not fair especially when Marcus had no right to do this.” I answered.

“I see, well The Dragon wants to see you he has some questions for you. A comfortable chair has been made ready for you, given your state I did not think standing for hours was a good idea. He wants to see you as soon as possible.” he spoke in a strange tone.

I was not sure if I surprised him with what I said or if he was worried about what was going to happen just as much as me. Either way I had to see if I could at least make sure O’Flynne was not hurt for my sake in this ordeal.

“I am ready now.” I said.

“You’ve eaten breakfast?” William asked.

Kalynn entered just as he spoke and answered for me.

“Yes, and a goodly amount to. I just took the I dishes back William.”

“Ah, Kalynn that’s good, thank you for your helping with her care.” William said with a smile.

Your welcome.” Kalynn answered.

“Well, then, lets go best not to keep him waiting.” William said.
