Alli POV.
The sun was setting, this was always my favorite part of the day, I rested my back on the edge of my window playing mindlessly with the ends of my dark hair, in nothing but my night gown the cool air breezing past me cooling my skin and making me occasionally shiver. I could hear footsteps fast approaching, I knew with out a doubt it was Issa our family housekeeper, coming to begin my nightly routine before bed. but I was frozen in place watching the sun sink in to the ground behind the trees and the mountains surrounding our woods, waiting for the moon to rise.
my door clicked open and I felt the older women approach, curious. although this was always what had happend every night since I was but a small girl, especially when it was a full moon. it called to me, it made my magic surge to the surface crackling with energy under my skin, stroking my insides warming my belly and filling my heart. I smiled remembering the first time I saw it, the first time I felt it! at the young age of just 6 years old. I had never experienced magic before that moment and wanted nothing more then to feel it again always.
"Its a full moon tonight" I stated not turning from my seat in the window addressing the maid behind me.
"tis" was all she replied,
I could hear her walking around the room now turning down the bed and picking up my brush from the vanity in the corner of my room before coming up behind me to brush my long locks.
as she brushed, she hummed. the same song every night since I was small, she never changed I thought to my self smiling internally, for as long as she had served my family for hundreds of years she was nothing but kind and dutiful, at least through out my lifetime. she was still quite young by elven standards, I was nothing but a mere baby considering.
at 17 despite my womanly curves no longer a child by any means, but still so young compared to how long I shall live, I sighed suddenly full of meloncholy.
being an elf seemed like it's own curse in so many aspects, many of us go mad, some with power, others greed or simply bordem.
the rest die, leave to adventure out into the world, looking for death or something to fill the emptiness of immortality or simply just play the wonderful game of pretend, finding small amounts of joy from our hobbies, children or loved ones until their eventual demise. for me I believe it will be the loneliness that sends me in to the abyss of madness, though mother and father swear to me I will find someone who will love me for eternity one day, though I do not believe their kind words.
"you are still so young dear daughter, do not close your heart off simply out of fear itself." mother had said to me merely but a few hours ago.
but I cant help think of how our numbers are dropping every day due to my great aunts mad reign as queen, and frankly loving outsiders bring an elf nothing but pain in the end with their short lifespans, if my books have taught me anything at all.
I was contemplating how worth the smallest amount of time in love was worth in comparison to the years of pain of losing said love or simply just accepting the loneliness, when I felt it begin before I even saw anything at all. the moon was rising now, I could feel it deep into my bones. I sat up straighter and let the feeling wash over me my power within, awaking like a babe from a sleep calling out reaching the surface strengthing and exactly as I expected crashing over my entire body in waves, creeping from the very tip of my toes all the way up to the very top of my head and back down again, crawling through out my body trying to find a away out, surging against my skin looking to be released, though I never let it. at least in moments like this, partially out of fear of what it could do, what consequences releasing that much magic would undoubtedly cause! but mainly and selfishly due to the utter warmth and simple pleasure it held with in me, feeling it under my skin is the greatest affection I had ever received.
I hugged myself smiling as Issa stopped brushing and started braiding my long locks, in a futile attempt at protecting the thick long hair from knotting as I slept continuing along with her humming as she went. I knew she would pull me away from the window soon to go bed, so I reveled in the feelings under my skin just that little bit longer.
After what felt like both an eternity and nothing but a mere minute I felt her warm hand on my shoulder, pulling me back inside the room. I sighed and turned for the first time in what felt like hours according to my aching body, willingly allowing her to grasp her hand in mine and guide me to bed.
I lay down amongst my sheets as she pulled my covers over me tucking me in playfully and I couldnt help but grin up at her.
"Good night sweet girl" she said sweetly as she did every night, her bright orange eyes staring warmly down to my violet.
"Good night sweet lady" I giggled in response, she laughed and kissed my forehead "may you have the sweetest dreams" she whispered as she blew out the candles around my room and stoked the fire, before finally retreating for the night.
I tossed and turned all night, my dreams sharp, vivid and anxiety driven.
I was running but it was not through the woods of alabaster, but the deep dark forest that surround my child hood home, dark figures chasing me, hunting me! I couldnt catch my breath but I couldnt stop, i didnt dare use any magic out fear of taking one second to stop for I knew if I stopped It would be my demise, tears streaked my face, as I twisted and turned tripping over roots branches ripping and pulling at my skin and night gown, I was freezing and bleeding begging them to stop but no matter what I did or how hard I ran they just kept coming surrounding me, grasping at me, the soles of my bare feet ached raw, and my legs were screaming with agony at how hard I was pumping them, my fear was palpable and my heart was racing so hard I thought it would burst from my chest, suddenly i crashed in to a large fur covered beast, a dark humongous creature, i squealed as I bounced off of the creature and fell on to my back and butt, lying in the dirt frozen with fear gasping trying to gain my breath back as I gazed up I saw a flash of yellow eyes meet mine before there was deep growl that came from the creature before a powerful roar.
I woke up screaming then, shaking and sweating the full moon still high and bright in the sky and my power still crashing through my body like waves, though tonight, tonight was different. where once It was a gentle hum that grew stronger into something more pleasant, tonight it was building, building still demanding its release, demanding me to unleash to the world if I was ever to feel free from its grasp.
I flung back my covers my night gown sticking to my sweaty body, tears still streaming down my face, my heart still racing and started pacing desperately trying to gain control back over my own body, I heard several loud foot steps fast approaching, I looked toward the door just as Issa, mother, father, james father's right hand and Lance the head of the eastern village guard rushed in to my room, my mother embraced me shushing my sobs trying to hold my body as it shuddered with power and sadness, she pulled me on to the bed smoothing her hands over my head as she cradled me like a babe whilest farther and lance inspected the window and around the room for any signs of intrusion, Issa stood beside mother and I, her brow furrowed in concern and confusion while James stood stoically in the door way until further instruction, I slowly began to calm.
"What happened darling girl" mother asked still rocking and shushing me although I had almost fully regained my calm, my magic still surging but I felt more in control as I took a deep breath turning to face her,
"Nothing" I whispered "Just a really, really bad dream" I got out, wiping my face free of my tears cleaning up best I could with the sleeve of my night gown, father sighed and sent everyone that wasnt mother or Issa back to bed as practically the whole staff was standing in my door way at this moment. they all left being shooed along by father and his men before he shut the door and came and sat beside me. I groaned internally, I did not wish to speak of this especially with them. they are my parents and I love them dearly as I know they love me but they were so dramatic in matters when it came to me and due to that the whole house was, I had no secrets here, no one I could trust but myself when it came to anything. no privacy, and although not ungrateful for the life I live, and my position in life, i am usually alot more reserved when it came to my fears and problems not wanting the whole village to know my business. its embarrassing, and they all talk forming their own opinions behind my back, I wanted to cry again when I came to the relisation that is exactly what they are doing right at this moment. I took a deep breath and instead i stealed my resolve to not give anymore fuel to their raging gossip mill no matter how badly I wanted to confess all my fears to my parents who were currently staring at me waiting for me to explain further, for they also knew I was not as trivial to be so upset over a mere bad dream, but I just crawled off mothers lap and got under the covers "Sorry I woke everyone father" I told him, "it was just a very bad dream" I tried again alot stronger then before, fathers frown deepend "Yes dear, but what ever was it about?" he replied somewhat exasperated "what had you shaking and sweating so violently, you are no coward daughter" his Violet eyes Identical to mine pleading for the truth, I looked over at mother who also was staring with so much concern and then to Issa who was looking at me curiously, nothing but kindness in her eyes but as much as I loved her she was no true confidont, I smiled sadly at them all. "I am fine truly, I am so sorry to have awoken and worried you all so, please I am very tired and wish to sleep, can we please speak of this in the morning?" I tried staring at them all in the eye begging them to comply.
father heaved a deep sigh, I held my breath not feeling strong enough to keep fighting this if he so chose, but he then nodded and complied taking my silent mothers hand in his as she lent down and kissed my forehead I released the breath I was holding. "You come get me if you need me my darling."she commanded me softly her finger stroking my cheek briefly as she left trailing behind father I nodded to which they smiled before leaving the room. Issa stepped forward reaching down to stroke my hair. "Good night my stubborn lady" she said smirking, I smiled at her trying to hide the pain in my stomach where the magic had now congregated trying to burst out. "You are not alone in this life." she added softly as she pulled away walking towards the door.
"Goodnight Issa" I said kindly but firmly
"See you in the morning" she responded softly with a mischievous smirk closing the door behind her.
I rolled my eyes amused as curled in to a ball, grasping my stomach and holding it tight willing it to ease, as I slowly drifted off to sleep.
I was lying in a strange bed in a strange room made out of dark wood, the sun peaking through a small window where a green vine had twisted and spread down the wall, little yellow flowers and green buds growing from it down to the floor, there was a steel bath in the corner and a wooden wardrobe in the other, directly from the bed was a fireplace needing more wood, embers crackling softly. the bed smelt amazing as I nuzzled my nose against the pillows, exactly like him woodsy and sweet, the sheets and covers warm and soft against my naked skin, I slid down further under the covers basking in the comfort I felt when i heard large boots stomp in to the room from my hiding spot under the covers, then a loud thud of wood hitting the ground beside the fire place, my body charged with delight and i felt my core tighten and a burn deep in my belly with anticipation as I peaked out from behind my blanket at the gorgeous man currently washing his hands and arms in a the bucket by the fire, he was tall incredibly so to my 4'11 him being at least 6'7 with wide shoulders he was a god craved with delicious chocolate muscle, pecs and an 8 pack glistening with sweat leading down to a diffinitve V leading to the real treasure, I shuddered and felt my self moisten thinking about his huge c**k and talented fingers, fingers that were now running through his golden locks and as my eyes drifted down I saw his bright yellow eyes gazing amused at my slackened face, his white teeth shining behind full lips pulling in to a wolfish grin as he caught me staring, my mouth went dry and my p***y gushed as he stalked to wards me.
"you got some drool there baby" he purred jokingly pulling me out of my revey as he leaned one knee on the bed, his right thumb wiping along my bottom lip his left held his weight above my shivering form, his delicious sent encasing me making me moan and his eyes darken with lust I gulped and smiled sheepishly biting my lip "Sorry" I whispered as his gorgeous face lowered closer to mine, he nuzzled my nose affectionatly with his leaning completely over me now kicking off his boots before crawling closer and kissing my cheeks softly then down my neck as one of his hands slowly exposed my naked body to him, i was frozen with lust as he began to gently stroke my chest just above my breasts, his tounge lapping, biting and suckling my neck up to my ear nibbling my lobe, our breaths were coming out as pants and I began to unfreeze reaching my hands rubbing up his chest and shoulders to wrap around his neck to pull him even closer, kissing along his stubbled jaw, which motivated him to pull up taking me with him pulling his back against the wall wrapping my legs around him so I was now sitting on his lap tight against him as his hands now firmly on my waist and a** gripping and massaging as his mouth never let up on my neck now making it's way down to my chest, i move even closer grasping his hair and began grinding when I felt my p***y clench and I moaned as I felt his huge c**k grow impossibly harder underneath me as I ground on it saturating his pants with my juices, my c**t rubbing on his belt bringing me closer to the edge as his hot mouth and teeth found my n****es suckling them and my b****ts around them making me cry out in extacy and throw my head back I was a moaning pleading mess, he was grunting and thrusting up against me now before releasing a growl and throwing me on to my back my head resting back in the pillows, before placing sloppy kisses down my stomach while undoing his belt, and pulling off his pants his monster c**k releasing and bounding up against his taught stomach I groaned needing more, he dived between my legs throwing them over his shoulders and then latched his hot mouth against my swollen c**t making me scream "RYHAN"
I awoke with his name still on my lips my core aching and my c**t throbbing underneath my fingers all alone in my own room panting and praying I did not scream again and had not attracted any attention to my self any further, as I don't think I could live with that embarrassment. especially after last night, as I caught my breath, removed my hand from my p***y willing my body to calm down for a whole different reason this time, i looked around my room toward the window the sun was now up the moon long gone and the power with in me back to it's normal state, helping me to relax and when I was sure no one was coming to my aid again or heard my cry I got out of bed in desperate need of a bath, my mind going a mile a minute thinking through all that occurred last night and my strange dreams that felt so real.
