The Orange Eyed Girl

COULD IT BE ?

(Logan's POV)

yesterday at the corporate lunch.

I hate these lunches , everyone trying to act like they know better then anybody else. In reality most of these jerks only care about themselves. I am here on my father's behalf. He has been nagging me for a long time to take over his politics. In all honesty I have no interest in being a political leader.

A councilman is speaking,

" we need to lower the voting percentage of low Folks if we want to remain in power."

Recently there have been lots of low Folks that have tried there best to remove the Fey as the head of our city and country, they wish to appoint someone of their choice to rule over them but the Fey are apposed to that, we believe that low Folks are incompetent beings that will lead this country to its doom. And as much as the Fey despise them they also know that the larger part of population consists of them so they cant just g******e them all, the Fey do have some morals.

This is all nonsense though it doesn't matter what the Fey do to remain in power and try to make the city a peaceful place for every specie the low Folk would never accept us, they still hate us too much, so much that they would do anything to remove us and they wouldn't care who would be replacing us,

they don't care about the efforts of Fey trying to rectify the mistakes of our King, my father.

He is the reason for our demise and the reason of all this struggle that we have to do now to stay in power and still be hated.

I have long given up on trying to change the way things are, I just do what pleases me in this miserable long lifetime of mine.

The councilman are still bickering about the voting percentage of low Folk tired of their nonsense fight I give them a suggestion to just stop all the low Folks from voting, I here a gasp at that and turn to see a waitress standing at the back, the lights are dim there but she smells human and something pleasant. That's weird . I turn my attention back at the table everyone is talking at once mostly apposed to my ideas about how that'll make them hate us even more.

After a while the servers starts bringing us the main entrees and when one of them is putting the food Infront of me I don't know why but I get up and in doing so I cause the waitress to stagger and all of the food falls on me.

I look up angrily and see the same girl, she is a human girl but her eyes, I have never seen a human girl with orange eyes before, she has a worried look on her face she looks at me for a while and then starts apologizing. I may not have anything against low Folk but I hate humans, they are a selfish and back stabbing specie that have greed in their heart that will never be fulfilled, thay are hateful and incapable of love.

The next moment she start to try and clean up the mess she created from my clothes I get even more annoyed and hold her wrist to stop her that's when I feel a weird electricity from where my hand was touching her hand. I just shove her to the ground a little too hard and ask the other waitress to get the incompetent human fired.

I leave to the restroom, I still don't understand what I felt back I stare at myself at the mirror I take of my coat and fold my sleeves up to my elbow and just then the door opens and that human women comes inside she shoves me at my arm to face her and her hand touches my bare skin and there it is again that electricity. It's not painful more like sparks that feels strangely good. she looks the exact opposite of what she was a moment ago she is furious and starts calling me a heartless monster who just cares about himself and nobody else. I am just staring at her face and her voice. Even though she is angry at me I just want to listen to her and look at her all day. I don't know what's happening to me for a moment I thought her eyes glowed but I am not sure I am in the right state of mind right now because what I am feeling is impossible. She starts talking about her family and I can't help but wonder does she have a boyfriend, I slapped myself mentally as to why the f**k would I care and think about that. She finishes her speech and leaves.

I get home to my apartment at the fey compound and can't help thinking about the orange eyed human. This cannot be happening it was most probably the cold, yes that was it. It was cold at the restaurant that's why I felt the sparks.

I am lying at my bed when my phone bings and I get a message from my best friend Hector

:Where you at? your father's asking about you he wants the details about the meeting:

Logan ,: I'll be there at dinner for the report.:

I sigh I got to go and pay him a visit too I quickly get up from my bed and get a shower I change into my training gear and head for the Arena, it's where we train, I let out some steam on a punching bag and try to avoid thinking about a particular orange eyed human with smooth olive skin, straight nose that twitches when she gets angry, black shiny hair and pretty lips perfect for kissing " Aaargh f**k not helping" I land a powerful punch on the bag and it splits and the sand flows from it I take it down and hang a new one

' what is happening to me, it can't be, I've never felt that way about anyone since....since her...why am I having these kinds of thoughts about a women and on top of that a human women why couldn't I just like a normal Fey women and just settle like my father has been asking me to. ' I think to myself.

Even though I know why I couldn't settle with any women or why I could never fall in love with anyone, I couldn't because I gave all of my love to HER and even though she betrayed me I can never love anyone except HER I have never felt the sparks I felt when I was with her untill today.

After two hours of training I go back to my apartment and shower again to wash all the sweat then I change into a traditional tunic and pants with a vest and coat all in white, blue and golden, even though we have accepted the technology of the human world my father still insist we honour and follow the olden ways in some aspects of our lives.I get out of the apartment and get to my car and drive towards the Castle.

The Castle is at the highest spot of our city it was originally built on the mountain but as the city developed most parts of the mountain were changed into houses and other buildings, though the Castle is still at the top.

The Castle and the area around it is the Fey compound and only fey reside here and all the facilities here are for the fey, it's not that we don't stay outside the compound but it's considered safer inside.

As I am getting nearer to the Castle the road is getting steeper and circular to get to the top. I reach the big gates of the Castle, the boundary of the Castle is enchanted only those that have accessed can enter the Castle. The gates open for me with a loud sound.

When inside I stop the car in front of the entrance and a servant takes the key from me to park it.

The Castle is Big and exactly the same as it was built but that doesn't mean it's not efficient everything inside works with magic it's probably the most advanced place there is.I enter the big gates and the first person I see is Hector ,

" Glad you made it any more delay and I am not sure if I would've been alive He is angry about something you did at the lunch meeting. plz tell me you didn't punch a councilman and he is coming to declare war on your father." Hector says while greeting him in their usual way with a shoulder bump.

"It was nothing serious just an accident, and it wasn't even my fault." He said with an annoyed look he was again reminded of the orange eyed girl.

" Well someone clearly need to explain that to your father." Hector says.

He starts looking at me weird.

"What ? What is it why are you looking at me like that have I got something on my face? " I asked.

"No nothing like that you look pissed you have THAT expression . Tell me what's bothering you?" He asks.

" There is no expression...this is My Face. Now lets go we don't want to keep him waiting and make him more angry." I tell him.

We both enter the dining room its a big room with a big rectangle table in the middle, my Father is already sitting at the head of it and talking to his advisor that is standing behind his chair. My father's wife and son are also here. Hector and I both bow to him and the Queen then I take the seat to his right, hector takes the seat next to me. my step mother is sitting on my Father's left side and my step brother William is sitting beside her. My mother died when I was ten. It was a difficult time for the King but he got better and remarried in a month. The king eats a grape from the table and when he starts everyone else also starts eating and then the King speaks,

" I heard that you left the meeting in the middle." He said.

The food started to taste stale to me,

" yes My King... I... there was an incident... I had to leave early." I said.

I informed my King about all the things that were discussed at the lunch and then when I was leaving the room with hector I heard the Queen call to me,

" Logan , how are you ? you haven't been home in weeks, are you going to leave already stay the night plz." she said with hope in her eyes.

" I am sorry my Queen but you know that I am more comfortable at my own place and I wouldn't want to bother the family." I said.

She sighed," How many time have I told you to call me mother or better yet just Rachel is fine you of all people don't need to be so formal with me and I know you like your apartment but you could always come and stay a night here in at least a week. You know I'd really like it if you'd bond with William, He is your brother." she said.

"Ok I'll stay if that's your order." I said with a straight face.

" It's just a request Logan it's fine you can leave if you don't want to stay " she said in a sad voice.

I can't stay here looking at their happy little family and feel left out that's why I moved out.

Still I sigh and accept her request.

" Come on I'll accompany you to your room." Hector says and we go towards my room.
