The Phoenix King :Alexandria

HOPE

"YOUR WRONG!!!" I shouted. My heart broke, my hands trembled and my agony grew within.

"IT CAN'T BE TRUE!!!." My hands were burning and I felt fire consume me.

"Alexandria, you have to calm down," I heard V say.

"NO!!!!" I cried. Cloud came over and wrapped his arms around me. I knew my spirit would not burn him but he still felt some pain in my embrace. I looked around. Venus and Samantha were in tears. Paul and Maze looked disheartened and everyone else looked upset. I could not breathe, I could not feel anything.

"YOU TOLD ME TO COME HERE," I lashed towards V. "YOU DID THIS, YOU BETRAYED ME!"

"Alexandria," Cloud called.

"I did not my king," V said solemnly.

"TAKE THEM AWAY, ALL THREE OF THEM," I demanded. "IMPRISON THEM!" Six of Clouds men came towards them and arrested them.

"What are we going to do now," Paul asked.

"I will find Sec and I will make him pay," I said. I stormed off and headed to the throne room. I had lost my home and then my planet. My people suffered and died because I was not there to save them. I wish I could hide away in the trinity spirit church. Lose myself inside of those walls and find some peace. I wish my father was here so he could reign down hell to those who wished me harm. I wish my mother was here to comfort me and drive her sword through the heart of all my enemies. I did not want to be alone, I did not want to go any further without them. I have lost everything and I had no way of getting it back.

  Cloud came over and took my hand as I sat on V's throne.

"Is all hope lost," I whispered.

"My dearest Alexandria, nothing is lost and hope is all we have," he said softly. I felt his light and his warmth fill me up inside with that hope I thought was lost. I took his hand and led him to the corridor. I continued to lead him until we reached the ice garden. I pulled him further as he reluctantly tried to pull away from my grasp.

"Where are we going?" Cloud asked. I pulled him even more until we reached the hot spring. Cloud looked at me confused and nervous. I don't think I had ever seen him so nervous. I took off my gown and slipped into the water quickly. He did not look at me once.

"Get in," I said. "Please." He looked into my pleading eyes and began to slowly take off his shirt. He slipped into the hot spring very slowly. He did not come near me either. I smiled at him and I found it delightful yet confusing as to how I found comfort and peace with his presence. My mind may have been elsewhere but my body and heart were here. I moved closer to him and he desperately pushed himself back. Why did I suddenly feel like V? A predator ready to attack its prey. I made my way closer to him, cornering him in the end.

"Do not be afraid," I said slyly.

"I am not afraid of you sire," he said calmly. "It is you who should be afraid of the outcome of this game you play." With those words, I crushed my lips onto his. His embrace was forceful and alluring. He returned the kiss even if he was reluctant at first. I grabbed his hair and pulled him in closer with hunger for more of his lips on mine.

"I want you, all of you," I said to him. My moan escaping our lips as he kissed me with the hope he had been holding onto even now.

"I can not be such a savage or a hunter but I need you and I need this now more than I have ever needed anything else," Cloud said to me with lust in his eyes. He pulled my hair a bit and my head leaned back. Cloud began to kiss my neck and his hands roamed my naked body. The heat from his hands was beginning to be unbearable. He moved his lips from my neck to my chest. His tongue traced over my erect n****e. He bit down and my moan became louder and more pleading. I wanted to feel more and I wanted this night to be the end of all nights.

"You are far more beautiful than I could have ever imagined," he whispered.

"You and I are one," I said.

"Not yet," he said with a much lower whisper I almost didn't hear him. He lifted my legs and wrapped them around his body. He slid inside my body and made me whole. We were one. I let out a painful cry and let my head fall back. He pushed himself even further and my cries became whimpers and then moans.

"Alexandria," Cloud took his force and hastily made his way deeper inside me. Our bodies became so hot the water was boiling around us. Cloud kissed me again and this time it was to close the space between our chest. His speed never relent and I felt like I was going to explode but in time we both did, together.

"Are you okay?" Cloud asked me and he gently placed my hair behind my ear.

"I'm fine,' I said. He kissed me gently on my forehead.

"There isn't much time left for nights like these," Cloud said.

"I fear this war we are heading towards will cause us much pain, much more than anything we have felt thus far," I said. He nodded in agreement. "I need to find out which one of those three men betrayed me,"

"Does it matter," Cloud said.

"Yes, two of them might still be allies and well that one we will have to force to tell us the truth about all of this that has been happening," I said.

"Any idea who the traitor is?"

"I have my guess." Cloud took my hand and led me out of the hot spring.

"Let's go to bed, we can deal with all of this in the morning."
