A dragons true tale

Chapter 18 ~ Your eyes

Kyle looked behind as if sensing a presence and Isabelle followed his line of sight...when she didn't see anything there she frowned and quickly looked back at him...f***! She fell for their trick.. she turned to check for her uncle but it seemed both of them had tricked her on this one..she would have proposed to go after them but she had overgrown following her emotions...she wasn't the type to pour her anger on stupid things..they wanted to avoid her.. she wouldn't stop them..after all she had been living her life without them. Still she couldn't believe she let her guard down.. since they were the once who trained her then it was normal to have high rated tricks better than her.

She quickly leaped back to the castle..when she landed on the roof swiftly from a very high tower she looked back before turning to leave...she bumped into someone making her freeze. 'Who could it be', somany thoughts ran through her head.

'How couldn't she have sensed the presence behind her..what was wrong with her today', she asked herself..she quickly looked up and felt the world around her freeze.

She recognized those deceiving midnight pupils anywhere and that familiar dark naturally dishelved hair. What was he doing here..he caught her jump from that height..he must be thinking she was the inhumane right?. 'Wait...why was she bothered'.

"Why are you h-here", she managed to ask holding her breath. A frown eloped his features a..he took a step close to her intruding her space like some pest...and closing the little space left between them making her turn alert. Her reflexes were kicking in..she had to stop herself from pushing him back with a punch. He used both his hands to place on the average wall behind her caging her between him but she wasn't any normal person.

"You seem to avoid me...everytime we meet", he pointed out to her..his gaze unwavering as they stayed on hers.

"I don't know what your talking about.. you do know we're engaged..is this how you plan to treat your wife to be", she played along skillfully..his brows raised for a second but he didn't change their current position. 'She was really different..just like her father proposed', he thought.

"If you can't live with it while not cancel the engagement", came his kurt reply. And here she thought it was out of obsession that he had signed the contract between them.

"I wish it was as easy as you speak... aren't you going to ask about what just happened few minutes ago", she asked.

"Your right though.. for a lady.. you seem to be a monkey", be blurted out with a thoughtful look and Isabelle couldn't hide the shock on her features, blood rushed to her cheeks in embarrassment. 'What kind of comment was that', she thought.

"Y-you...who are you calling a monkey", she demanded using her fist to push him backwards but for the first time in her life...her efforts seemed to be in vain.. like she was useless against him. 'How...she never guessed him to be a strong person', she told herself. As strong as pushing the wall. A smirk made its way to his perfect lips and he chuckled, "Don't you think your little tricks would work on someone like me... I mustn't have noticed but your voice seems rather familiar..too familiar..why didn't you show up at the ball princess". She became alert when she heard his words..did he notice...how could she have missed it.

"It has nothing to do with you..let me go before someone sees us like this", she began to panick because he responded by leaning in on her.

"I don't think you have to worry since we are engaged", he teased making her more redder. God she had never expected that tonight she'll find herself in this situation. Maybe she should've listened to Vlad and come back to the castle quick.

Calhoun stared hard at her..her light brown pupils revealing something mysterious... unlike Isabelle who was left in the dark about a lot of things and especially the kind of world they lived in.. Calhoun knew more about the world they lived in today.. enough to know that Isabelle wasn't who she thought she was...normal. She mustn't be what he's thinking right now. His gaze travelled down pausing at her slightly parted lips.. Isabelle slowly parted her lips because of nervousness but her little action caught his eyes...he let her go of the wall and turned to leave... hiding the maddening look in his eyes. For a second there he couldn't hold his ground.. something that had never happened before.

"The two guards..they searched everywhere for you...", was all he said as he left the rooftop and she stood there surprised at her beating heart.

'Good thing she was experienced when it came to things like this..if not with how close they were she would have jumped off the building'. It'll really be funny if that happened though.

......after the ball

"Did anyone catch your eyes darling", Qila began what she was good at, her question got everyone's attention including his father'.

"U met the princess... she seems to be just as interesting as King Leonardo proposed", he informed and his mother couldn't be anymore happier.

"Isn't she? I've heard a lot about her...the stories are rather so mysterious and so is she.. I told you that you'll love her honey, don't be sad the King is planning to come visit us after he finishes trade with the DiCaprio's...", Qila blurted as if she was expecting her daughter who finished highschool.

'That was the problem', Calhoun thought. There was something about the princess that brought out the him he never witnessed before..she was dangerous.

He turned to look outside the now open window... force of the wind making his hair more messy but surprisingly.. it never affected his looks. His pupils switched from black to red and then to black. He knew the whole story behind his family..he came to find out the time his grandfather was still alive... his father was human because his father's mother was human buy his father's father wasn't and he never let his son know about it for hope to end his kind... from the kuinn's family he sorted to hide the truth. Who knew genes never died.. Calhoun had inherited the genes from his grandfather... lucky for him.. Nicholas' story was also similar to his. His grandfather father later died of corruption or so he heard from the underlying creatures he knew.
