The Nexus Queen

chapter 7 - Unexpected Connection

I woke up feeling a bit cold, looking over on the other side of the bed Blake was no where to be seen. The bathroom door was open and the floor was wet and and damn towel sat on the counter indicating he took a shower not to long ago. But where did he go? After a few minutes there was a tap on the door. I peeked through the looking hole on the door to see Blake standing there so I quickly opened the door.

Where did you go, I ask? He held his hands up which were holding three bags which by the smell that filled my nose was food. And on que my stomach growled.

We sat on the bed eating, waffles, eggs, potatoes and bacon. It was delicious.

So are we gonna talk about last night? I asked.

I can't tell you everything, I'm not suppose to or well I promised I wouldn't tell you everything.

Promised who, I asked?

This is called a mini staff, kind if like a wand but it's only used for small amounts of magic. It's hard to trace unlike if I were to use my power's from within. If I use my full power's it can be traced by enemies and people higher up on the ranks. Using power's outside of home and in front of humans can be punishable. It all depends on the reasons why it was used.

My mind is spinning with all the information he's given me. So many questions to ask, but I know he won't tell me everything I want to know. But I ask anyways.

So I have power's to? How do I get my power's, what kind of power's are they? What are you, what am I? Where are we going?

I know I'm rambling on with questions but dammit I need answers. I'm tired of vague answers, I'm tired of not knowing everything or at least the important things.

Raven I am really not allowed to tell you all that you want to know but I promise when we get to where we are going you will get all the answers to all your questions.

Ok can you at least answer this one question truthfully?

He nodded a yes with a sigh followed by I'll do my best.

Since I have been around you why do I feel a connection to you? Like I feel if something bad Where to happen to you I'd loose myself in a dark place emotionally. I feel the need to protect you. Even though I know I can't, I gave no powers and I'm not that physically strong. Why is that Blake, are we related?

I know long question huh, but I needed to clarify so he understood exactly what I meant. It's true over the last day plus the dreams I feel this weird and unexpected connection to him. As if we are family or something more but I can't figure out what it is and only he can give me the answer to that question.

Blake was silent for several minutes before answering me.

There is a connection between us, I can honestly say we are not related. But I really do not know why there is a connection, I feel it to. Ever since the first time you had that dream and everytime since. I've asked my parents about it but they said that can't tell me until you know everything. Unless we figure it out on our own neither of us will know until we reach our destination.

I can tell he was being honest. And I am really f*****g glad we are not related. That would have been awkward since I think he's hot. I think I would have puked if he said we are like brother and sister or cousins. I shudder at that that. Yuck.

Ok so we are not related, that's a relief. He looked at me confused. Oh my god did I just say that out loud? Shit.. I tried to hide my embarrassed face with my hair. But I'm pressure it's to late. Dammit.

Now it's my turn to ask you a question, he says. Why did you say it's a relief that we are not related. Am I that horrible of a person, or that horrible to look at that you can't fathom the thought of being related to me? He asked.

Without thinking and without shame I blurted out my response so fast and loud even I was shocked at what I said.

No, I was relieved cause it would suck if we were related cause I think your hot.

Fuck I can't believe I just said that. Amd now I can feel my face heating up and turning redder then my hair. I glance at Blake to see him blushing to but with a smile on his face as well. I guess I just gave him an ego boost. Then after the color returned to his face he spoke.

I think your beautiful Raven.

I looked at him completely shocked.

Really? Me beautiful? I'm just a normal human, there's nothing special about me.

You don't see yourself clearly do you? He asked. You are beautiful, smart funny, and so much more. And you are not just a mere human, and even if you were you would still be beautiful.

All I could say was thank you as I blush and turn my head away shyly. What is wrong with me, I'm never shy. Duh maybe it's because a hot guy just said you are beautiful dummy. I look back at Blake to see him staring at me with what looks like blue flames in his eye's. Wow, all the sudden I have no words, no questions, nothing to say at all. I'm utterly speechless. All I want to him to do right now is kiss me and so much more. And I have never thought about doing that with anyone before. There is definitely a connection between us. Lost in my thoughts again I didn't realize he was coming closer to me. I stopped the thoughts and looked at him again, we were face to face. So close that I could feel his breath on my face. Then he did the one thing I wanted him to do, he kissed me.

I gotta tell you it was like fire works were going off in my mind. It was the most perfect kiss in the world, at least to me it was. I don't know if he felt what I was feeling. It's as if I'm floating. I feel warm and safe. A feeling of completion. Like I am whole, like a part of me was missing and I didn't know it until now.
