The Light of Darkness

Home

As we drove in silence I felt this nagging feeling that something was off. grandmother said that the marriage was to take place on my 21st birthday but that wasn't for another few years. why are they coming after me now? The question echoed in my head so I turned to my grandmother and asked her. "grandmother if im not supposed to be wed until my 21st birthday why are they coming after me now. I am only 18. it makes no since to me." She hesitated for a few minutes but she finally sighed and started to speak. "Lina darling there is a lot of things you don't know at the moment and I know you want answers but they are going to have to wait til we cross the barrier. but I will tell you this. a year to a human is 3 years to a fairy. you are not yet 18 and as a matter of fact I do believe you birth certificate was forged so that makes you 20 my dear and your birthday is right around the corner. which is why Kade came to you in a dream." I sat there taking in what she just said. and it upsets me to think that my entire life has been a lie. im not human im a royal fairy who's betrothed to a dark prince in which I am supposed to marry the day of my 21st birthday which is evidently in a few months when I thought I would be turning 18.... my life could not get any worse.

"we are just about there Lina." grandmother said snapping from my thoughts. I was about to say something when I heard him calling me. "Lina my love, come to me. I miss you beautiful." I shake my head trying to get him out but its no use he just keeps getting louder. "Lina I won't hurt you. I love you more then anything. I want to make you feel safe. please come to me my princess." and it was as if my soul left my body. I was back in the strange room but I didn't see him any where so I called for him. "Kade are you here?" but no answer. I began to explore and came across a painting that was done at my birth ceremony im assuming as my name and Kades name were printed at the bottom along with a date. I guess grandmother wasn't lying I really am fixing to turn 21. im startled as I go to touch the painting "there you are my love, I've missed you." Kade said as he spun me around and kissed me deeply. I couldn't help but let a moan escape and hoped he didnt hear it. as I pull away I look into his beautiful green eyes and see worry.

"what's wrong my prince." I asked as I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him in for another kiss. "Nothing my love, i just don't want to lose you to the darkness."

"but how else are we to marry? according to my grandmother your father said there will only be peace once i have accepted the darkness and completed the curse. and it is so hard for me not to fall for you, I feel sparks everytime you touch me." Kade looks at me like I just spoke in another language. "Lina, they call me the prince of darkness because I was a prince who was turned by a curse. my father was killed trying to save your parents. where did you hear such a story." I started to speak but I felt a pull that was really strong. "Kade hold me I don't want to go back. im scared Kade please do something." all I could hear was his voice echoing in my head. "I will come for you my princess we will be together." as I was jolted awake by my grandmother shaking me violently.

"Lina dear is everything ok?" I look around and see we are no longer in the car but in a room lit only by candles and a small fire place. "im fine where are we?" I asked. a sigh of relief came from her as she sat a cup.of water down in front of me. "this is a safe house just outside the barrier. we are safe for now. the magic blocker won't last very long, so we will need to start moving again in a couple of hours." I sat there just listening and then it dawned on me. either there is no magic blocker or its very week. the only way Kade could have summoned me was magic. he was using his powers.. im so exhausted I look at grandmother and back at the fire. "I think I'm gonna go to sleep grandmother. wake me when its time to leave." and with that I retreated up the stairs to a small room with a very comfy bed.

As I lay there thinking about Kade and what he said I can't help but feel scared. I don't know if im scared because I'm falling for him or because him and grandmother are telling me 2 different stories and idk who I want to believe. I have never felt anything like what I feel when Kade touches me. and as for Grandmother I don't know how to take her be abuse she seems so guarded like she trying to hide something. and with that I drift away to never land hoping to so my gorgeous prince.
