Soulmates Kiss

Alive

Someone grabbed me from behind and pulled me out of the way of the fighting. Taking a breath I was able to see it was Michael and Tim. They reacted faster then most around us had to the fight and wanted to protect me. What about Adrain? Shouldn't Michael want to protect his Prince?

"Michael, help him. I am nothing, but replaceable he's your Prince. Shouldn't you be defending him?" I was really wondering this and trying to see around him to see what was going on. When I was finally able to I saw that Adrian had Julius in a head lock and on his knees.

"Do you yield?" Adrian asked him

"Yes, I yield" Julius gasped out, though I am not really sure gasp was the correct word for it seeing as how they don't really breath.

"Autumn? Autumn where are you?" Adrian was spinning in circles looking for me so I stepped out from around Michael

"Here, these two mountains wouldn't let me around them" I spoke and thumbed towards Michael and Tim

Adrian ran towards me at such a speed I never even saw him move. He grasped my face "are you hurt? Did he touch you anywhere? Are you okay?" he was running his hand over me looking to see if I had any injuries of any kind

"I am fine. Though more confused as to why I should be hurt or why that even happened then anything really. But I am not going to sweat it because if it is something I am to know then I will know. I am going to go over there and spar with Tim while you speak to the King and Queen and whomever else is with them." I bee lined for where Tim and Michael were standing not just a few feet away and asked if Michael could hand me some of the MMA gloves and waited for Tim.

"Wait what?" Adrian spun to see if what I said was true then turned back towards me "Your going to do what?"

"Son, my it is good to see you out here training again. It has been to long since you have been so talkative we do have much to talk about. Firstly you and Celeste are still going strong I hope. She will make a good wife for you." The Queen was speaking but I could see Adrian was watching me out of the corner of my eye.

Thud "Pay attention or I am actually going to win this" Tim said mockingly

"HA! That would be the first and very interesting to watch, but sadly I am not in the mood to let you win." I threw my punches and kicks and went toe to toe and knuckle for knuckle with Tim. He may have been over six feet of pure muscle but me being around five foot five I was able to duck out of his reach most of the time. 

"Are you really going to let that little girl beat you?" Someone said from the side lines causing me to smirk

"When doesn't that little girl beat him." Sara had come out and started watching as most of the clan around had stopped what they were doing to watch.

Tim was starting to really sweat and his movements started to become sluggish and I knew if I didn't end him soon he'd just fall on me. Those were the only times he had ever beat me in a hand to hand like this. He threw his right fist and I ducked but grabbed his wrist threw up my legs and wrapped one around his neck and flipped. Using the momentum and the weight of my body to throw his to the ground and land a punch to his face to knock him out cold.

"s**t!" someone said

"He's got like five feet on her or something and she just dropped him" someone else said

"That's my girl" Sara said and I could see her walking back towards the kitchen following her Maker

"Wow, remind me not to mess with you. Though I don't have anything to worry about yet seeing as how I am faster then you, for now." Michael come over to wake up Tim and by the looks of the slice on his wrist some blood.

"I didn't think broke anything on him." I said while I motioned towards him feeding him

"Your right, you didn't but this will just help him regroup faster plus it allows my scent to work into his system so people know that he's mine. Plus it'll give him heightened senses."

I made an oh face and took the bottle of water someone was offering me

"Thank you." I looked up to see Adrian staring at me "what? did I do something I wasn't supposed to do? oh man am I being sent to the dungeons or something?" I was starting to panic

shaking his head he actually started to laugh "No, you didn't do anything wrong and you will never go to the dungeons if I have a say. Though that was unexpected." He gestured towards Tim who was just getting to his feet now. "I was worried when you said you were going to spar with him and then you ended up taking him down. I am shocked and confused."

Smiling "People tend to have that reaction to be honest. My older sister Raven bullied me a lot. Well not just her actually practically my whole village did except Tim, Sara and my mom. They were the only ones to ever stand by me. One day some of the kids started to mess with me and so my mother sent me to Tim's father and said he owed a life debt and it was to be collected on by him teaching me how to fight. So he agreed and every day after school I would go to Tim's father and train with the warriors." I sipped the water and thought about those times

"Why did he owe a life debt to your mother?" Adrian looked like he actually wanted to know

"It was a debt to my father, but my father was sent away just after I was born on worrier business and we have not heard from him since. Raven says it was my fault because I was born with white hair and blue eyes that a witch cursed us." I shrugged "Though my mother says it's because he was a very strong and gifted warrior that he was called upon to protect others in a time of need. She says that his eyes were as blue as the Mediterranean Sea's just like mine." I smiled and looked at my hands. I started to take off the gloves when I saw two hand hold mine still. I looked up into Adrian's eyes and saw the sadness he held there.

"I am sorry for your father. Do you know if he really died or you are not sure what happened to him?" 

"We don't know. No word ever came about what happened just that he was missing along with several of his men." I looked away and took a deep breath the try to settle the tears and the feeling of sadness that was building.

"Right, so let just keep going here and you can show me what else you know and I'll show you what I know. Then when we have gone through everything we will see who has more knowledge and who wins."

"What does the winner get?" I asked him while I glanced back up at him

"How about the winner gets to pick the movie we will watch tonight and the snack" he raised his brow and held his hand out to me to shake

"Deal, but just so you know I am going to win." I shook his hand

"I won't go easy on you, and I like popcorn" he said to me while we went to the archery range

**********************************

The King and Queen

"Who was her father?" She barked 

"My guess is Ramus. He had the blackest of hair with the bluest of eyes that I can remember. He was the local General, but was sent away for a battle 18 years ago. We have not seen or heard from him since. This would be guess because he also had some Vampire linage I believe which allowed his skills to excel those around him and made him the warrior he was." I spoke to my wife of the man that I could only imagine to be the father of this young girl

"Ramus, yes I remember him." she stated as if a memory came to her.

"Was he a lover of yours dear?" I asked mater of factly

"No, you know I don't like humans in that way." She turned and walked away

I stood and watched her go from station to station with my son and how alive he looked. The light had returned to his eyes in just the short time she had been around him. What was it about this human girl that had my son coming alive again? She was beautiful I do know that and my soon seemed to have taken notice of this as well. Maybe he will actually turn her and take her as his Queen if this were to happen they would be a force to watch. Both being this skilled in weapons and combat. I wonder what else they have in common.

I watched as she did pumped her hands in the air and did a little dance when she thought she beat him and he just laughed with her. He was alive again and it was all thanks to this girl.

*********************************

Autumn

"I win!" I was doing a little dance when I heard him start laughing "What? What is so funny?" I put my hands on my hips

"I have one more shot and if I make it I win." he smirked and sent the javelin towards the target and hit the damn thing dead center "I win actually." He smiled

"You cheated didn't you. Used some kind of Vampire mojo or something." I couldn't even help the smile that was on my face

"Vampire mojo? What did we miss? Who won?"" Michael had come up behind me I jumped and nearly leaped into Adrians arms

"Dang it, not so quite. You nearly gave me a heart attack." I clutched my chest

"Sorry, I think? Though I have a sense that was sarcastic." Michael said and looked toward Tim for conformation

"Yes, that was. Ten to one she heard you back at the wall and just felt like acing like that." Tim smiled at me

"Yeah, well it's just not polite." I stuck my tongue out at them

Adrian was laughing at us. "I won, and it's going to be popcorn and The Underworld. Maybe all of them who knows."

My jaw dropped and I just stood there in shock. I couldn't believe what he just said.

"Did I break her?" Adrian looked at Tim and back towards me

Laughing like a crazy man Tim gasped for breath and spoke "No, but I would have thought she won because that's exactly what she would have said too."

Adrain just looked at me and smiled and I couldn't help the smile that spread on my face as well. Man it felt great to be alive.
