Moonlit Vendetta

The truth of it...

Pacing around, Nyxen could barely sit still as she wondered how Ryder was, not like she cared but he was human at the very least. Was he being haunted like her? would he be at the school today?

It was exactly a week after their stay in the cabin in the woods and surprisingly it was cool out there unlike she'd expected.

"Earth to you Nyxen what the hell... you've been spacing out since the drive to school what's your deal? " Avery finally voiced out her thoughts as she stopped the car in the parking lot at school.

"do you think Ryder would be at school today? "

Nyxen fidgeted as she questioned

" if he's functioning mentally yeah, otherwise he'll be receiving mental help"

"oh God! "

Nyxen exclaimed with her hand on her head. this was bad, really really bad.

however she couldn't let her nervousness show, so she squared her chin and stilled her thoughts as she made her way to class.

funny enough there was no prying eye like she'd expected, everyone was normal... well except her.

this should be good... right?

"that would be that for today, any other question see me in my office"

WTF!!

Did she space out through the class? this was bad. really bad but then if she didn't feed her curiosity she would know no rest so with a small pep talk to herself, she headed into the staff room for the said 'question'

"Miss Maledicta what do you have for me..."

Nyx fidgeted with the edge of the table, this wasn't a question relating to the class.

" uhm it's not about class but I can assure you it's equally important"

Mrs Gulliver the history teacher stared at her, long and hard.

" out with it then"

nyx let it a sigh of relief then rushed to say

"it's about Ryder, well I've been worried he's not in school and..." she trailed off unable to reveal what happened.

" well... " she shrugged already expecting a reply.

" actually he's been admitted. Something about allergy and the lots of it but he'll be fine rest assured your boyfriend is safe"

Boy-what?!!

'uhm... thanks for the info"

she said with an awkward smile as she reached for the door

"and for the record... he's not my boyfriend"

she said in a hurry and scrambled out of the room causing Mrs Gulliver to smile showing perfect sets of dimple.

***

Nyx took a deep breath and splashed water on her face... it's been calm lately but more like the calm before the storm what would Ryder do when he returns. This wasn't good she was freaking out already.

"uhm... might I suggest something my lady"

"please just go away and..."

Who the f**k was that!!!

she held her breath glancing around the bathroom.

"oh I forgot I was last seen in your dreams down here please. permit me to introduce myself to you... I am Reginald Pembly the III you should remember me warrior-"

Nyx could barely believe it, a small little human guy just like in her dream. shes could feel her head spinning as she held on to the edge of sink for support as the whole dream kept flashing back. It was real! It was all real she could hardly believe her eyes as she peered down at the little human with his tiny little sword and puffed chest. He looked cute...

"hi... I'm Nyxen Maledicta. Nice to meet your littleness"

Pembly went red in the face at the title.

With stretched hand, Nyxen picked up little Pembly in awe as she brought him up to her eye level.

"so you followed me all the way here? for what exactly?"

Pembly sighed knowing he'd have to go over the great tale again.

"uhm you know what, we'll discuss this when I get home, I have to get to work now is there somewhere you can lay low you can't tag along with me."

She had to work straight from school and there was absolutely no way in hell she was bringing the little human along.

"I could stay in your bag..." he shrugged and went on.

"I told you protecting you was assigned to me specially from the moon goddess Selene herself"

With a sigh, she grabbed him and shoved him in her breast pocket.

" now lay low till my shift is over got it?"

"got it"

He playfully saluted and sat down making himself comfy in the mass of muscles- breast.

The pub was a stones throw from school so she always went straight after changing outfits in the schools dresser.

"Well well, look who finally decided to show up. Nyxen Maledicta owner of this pub. is that right?"

Nyx shook her head trembling slightly as her boss stalked her. Now usually she would be less bothered by that but with a breathing creature in her breast pocket I mean who won't be nervous.

"words Maledicta!!"

"you're the boss!" she choked out trembling at his sudden raise in tone. Now she'd never been one to cope well with harsh tones.

About to lash out she suddenly feels a very light tap on her chest it was nearly almost never there, it was Pembly assuring her. She could get used to this.

She let out a small smile at his little effort to appease her.

"you zoned out on me. your boss! in my office, NOW!"

he stormed out red-faced she didn't mean to look down on him by entering her small world in her head, it just happened. Well the only thing left is to receive the punishment.

"let's do this Pembly"

she muttered and made for his office, at least now they were out of public's way.

"WTF! she exclaimed on getting into the office and seeing him already almost half naked.

"don't you dare take a step!"

he warned as he approached her slowly he'd clicked lock the door the moment she had stepped in.

"sir we can talk this out rationally you don't need to do this you don't want to" she tried talking him out of it however he just kept stalking towards her while she backed off, even Pembly was high at alert with his sword out although not noticeable, he couldn't die in such a way. it'll make a bad headline: Reginald Pembly the III, squashed in the middle of an intense... whoo he couldn't even think it.

"you have no idea what I want golden one..."

Golden one? hold up... f**k! he knew of the prophecy Pembly spoke of. But then what did he want?

"you see with years passing by, the prophecy was modified and remodified to suit the date and time, now let me tell you the truth of it, one essential part has been removed. Whoever deflowered the golden one gets to live forever, having been the key to unlocking her endless potential and that immortality is nature's gift for the revelation. you my dear would make me immortal I'd finally be able to overthrow that beast LYRIEN!"

all these information made her head spin, however she got one thing clear, he wanted to have his way with her which she'd rather die than let happen-

"GOTCHA!!"

With a deep inhale, she let out a piercing scream that rang through the trees of Blackwood.
