Everyone talked for a while longer, I didn't really pay attention. Too caught up in my thoughts to really care about what, why or how? I have a sister!
I got up, to leave. Urban, grabbed my hand and gave me a sad smile. Slowly we made our way out. No one else seemed to notice that we left.
I had no idea where I was going to caught up in my own head to care. I let Urban lead me to grandma's little garden, we sat on a bench and I looked over the few small plants. And huge trees. Grandad, gets them for her when he visits earth. Luckily, these plants grow really well without water it only rains here for two weeks, out of a year.
"Are you okay? Princess?"
Collecting my thoughts, I heave a sigh, "I need to find her, Urban. So yes we'll be leaving tomorrow if you want to come with me. Maybe she has answers. Or maybe she's full of questions just like me. Either way I need to find her to maybe put these dreams to rest. Do you think she's the girl from my nightmares? "
" I don't know, but I'll be right there with you every step of the way if you'll let me."Urban sounded so sincere. He gripped my hand tightly and raised it to his lips.
I turned toward him, making eye contact. My breathe catching in my throat with the depth of feeling I see within his eyes.
" I have an idea princess, do you trust me? If so close your eyes." he whispered.
Taking a deep swallow, I look once more into his eyes I've known him only eighteen months, he's helped me train, kept me company, made me laugh and pushed me to my limits. We have a bond. He's also annoyed, beaten me and seen me at my worst. He comforted me, helped me and never lied to me. I slowly closed my eyes.
I felt his breath fan across my cheek and cause the little hairs that had come loose to tickle my neck.
"promise me, no matter what you'll keep your eyes closed, please princess." he whispered.
I nod. I feel his soft lips gently graze against my cheek. Repeatedly, getting closer and closer to my mouth. Small tingles erupt at every little contact. Butterfly's errupt in my tummy, I don't know if I feel sick or excited. I feel his breath against my lips then his lips gently press against mine. He moves back then does it a second then a third time. I had no idea what to do next. He nipped my bottom lip gently making me gasp. Instantly, his tongue entered my mouth. Then I was kissing him back.
My hands come up to grip his hair. Running my fingers through the soft strands and playing with the small hairs at the back of his neck. While trying to press myself to him. Eventually, I give up and straddle him. Pressing myself into him, trying to get as close as I can, I hear him moan. He breaks from my mouth and I'm panting, he kisses along my jaw and around to my neck. This feels amazing. He suckles and kisses my neck. I get so caught up in the feelings he's causing in me, I can smell pine, earth and rain.
Wait that not Urbans scent. He smells of heat, musk and salt . I freeze.
"Terran!" I gasp.
I open my eyes, and jump away from Urban. He looks completely shocked. I can see the hurt all over his face. He doesn't say anything, just gets up and walks away.
Shit, s**t, s**t. What the hell just happened? I wrap my arms around myself and sit on the bench. Tears slowly run down my face.
I don't know how long I sat there thinking about everything and nothing. Until, I was gently pulled into a pair of arms. Grandma.
"you'll be okay you know. You'll get your answers. You'll find your sister and you'll work it all out." she said.
Wiping the tears with the back of my hands, I pull out of her embraced so I can look into her silver eyes,
"How can you be so sure?"
"I believe in you. I've watched you. You've dealt with all this, since you woke up here eighteen months ago. You have no memory of anything, you've learnt that your life is in danger just for being born. But, instead of hiding and running. You've thrown yourself into fighting, into learning into surviving. This is why I know you'll do everything you put your mind to. "
I shrugged and turned back to looking at her garden.
" Plus your my granddaughter and so I won't allow you to quit. Now, what happened with Urban? " demand in here voice.
" I don't want to talk about it, no now, not yet. Please gran." I pleaded. I felt so embarrassed, shamed and confused. "I haven't completely processed it yet myself. When I do and after I talk to him, I'll let you know."
I heard gran sigh, "okay dear if you don't want to talk then just listen. Okay. Have you ever wondered why urban is the only demon with violet eyes? All demons have red or black eyes except for royals, we have silver."
I shake my head.
"Urban was my best friends son. She found her true mate and moved to Aurora to be with him. When Urban was very young he was sent to live here with me. Mari didn't want him living in a realm that was at war." she paused, seeming to collect her thoughts, looked out towards her garden with a sad smile.
" At first she would send letters and things. Slowly that stopped. Weeks went by with nothing, then months. I sent warrior's to look for them but they were turned away. They sealed the realm Adira with a few of her trusted people had disappeared. The vampire Prince, declared war upon the brothers, the fighting has continued since. "
" so Urban is part shifter then, are his parents still fighting are they gone? " more questions filtered into my mind but I decided against asking.
" I don't know the answer to if they're alive or not. But I can tell you that Urban is not a shifter. He's half demon and half merman. He the best warrior here and his blood can help you if you need to enter Aurora. I'm not telling you this so you can focus on something other than your own troubles, Luna. You need to understand that, Urban is my family just as much as you are. I love that boy! But he's been hurt a lot. So just be careful please, dear. That's all I ask." with that she got up kissed my cheek and walked away taking her blossom scent with her.
