The Phoenix King :Alexandria

Hidden Pasts And Secrets Untold

I was feeling uneasy. I felt this negative energy surround me. It felt like it was choking me. I couldn't breathe and I wanted to call out for help but I couldn't. There was no noise, no light. Everything went cold and I felt my body grow weak and numb. I suddenly woke up and saw Cloud sitting beside the bed. He never left. I did wish he would have slept beside me. I knew I would have felt better and maybe never had any nightmare with him by my side. Cloud then woke up and I smiled up at him. He quickly got up and left the room. He seriously was annoying and mysterious. I still don't know why he doesn't like me. I thought we could be as close as he was to my mother by now but nope. It was far from that. Venus and Samantha quickly got to work finding me clothes that fit my king style but I didn't mind wearing what Cloud had left for me. They came in a bit later with a sheer champagne-colored high neckline dress. I walked out to where Cloud was and his eyes were glued to my dress. I was hoping it wasn't so sheer.

"Sire, you should go see Edmund today," Paul came in saying. I rolled my eyes and Cloud grinned.

"Fine," I told him. "Venus and Samantha will go with me."

"What!" he shouted. I knew that would bug him. I laughed as we headed to my ship. I felt weird leaving Callisto just yesterday to now be coming back and to my mother's home town nonetheless. Edmund was waiting to greet us. I guess Paul had arranged all of this.

"Hello, Alexandria," he said. "I heard what happened. I will help you out as best I can." I hugged him and said, "Thank you." I let Venus and Samantha wander around on their own. Edmund took my hand and led me to a quiet area in his home.

"So, tell me more about you," I said.

"I don't know what there is to say," he said calmly. We stayed quiet for a few seconds until he spoke again.

"I had a wife before," he said. I looked into his eyes and could see so much sadness.

"Oh, what happened?" I asked softly.

"She died, she got sick and died," he said sadly. "We both were born with no spirit and well I guess she was too weak for this world."

"Don't say that," I told him.

"I loved her very much and was sad for so long," he told me. "I look to the future no matter what it may hold and I'm willing to embrace what may come of it." I felt bad that he lost his love but I knew I couldn't just choose him to replace his lost love. We then talked about happier things. We had dinner together and it was overall a good day. I really liked Edmund but there was always this strange unknown feeling I got around him. He seemed sweet but there was more to him. I left his fortress and decided to go to the trinity spirit church before I left Callisto. I was already nervous but as soon as I went in my body relaxed.

"Please, spirits tell me, something, anything," I begged. "I want to know what will happen and what is really going on." I felt the spirits grow and as they began to surround me my body went numb and the room got cold. I suddenly saw Cloud covered in all three spirits. His body glowing and suddenly I opened my eyes and I was sitting in the church. The spirits back where they were. I thought I didn't know what that meant but deep down I did.

I ran back to my ship and headed to Caligo. Once we arrive I ran to Cloud who was talking to Paul.

"YOU ARE A TRINITY SPIRIT!!!" I shouted.  He didn't say a word and Paul just looked shocked.

"Tell me, I know it's true," I said to him. "TELL ME, NOW!"

"I am," he said softly with no emotion.

"How?" Paul asked. "That's not possible."

"Selene," he started to speak but found it hard to do so. I knew he had strong feelings for my mother. "Selene, before she died asked me to take her spirit and use it to keep Alexandria safe."

"You didn't say anything, why," I shouted.

"Becoming a trinity spirit is not what I had ever wanted for myself. And knowing that meant that you and I would," he explained. "I just don't want that responsibility or to be tied to."

"ME," I snapped. "You don't want to be with me." I pushed him away from me and ran back to my ship. I headed for Nem. I knew V would be the only one that would be able to keep me calm. I was crying the entire time. I had landed a while ago but stayed on the ship until V came to get me himself.

"What's wrong," he said gently. I didn't know his voice could sound so gentle or filled with concern. He is usually trying to seduce me or sound condescending. We got off the ship and he led me to his chambers. I thought he would have led me to the hot spring since it always made me feel calm. I sat at the edge of his bed and he stood in front of me. He began to take off his clothes and I just stayed there in awe of his body. I didn't move or try to stop him. He began to kiss me and lift up my dress. I still stayed still and didn't say a word. I didn't know if I wanted this but I was so hurt that I wanted to forget everything else. I kissed him back hard and as soon as my dress was lifted to my knees he brought his hand and placed it on my core. He rubbed his thumb over my c**t and I felt my body grow hot. He began to kiss my neck as he then moved his thumb faster.

"I want to taste you," V said seductively. He lowered himself so he was face to face with my wet center. He brushed his tongue on the outside and then slowly entered inside me. He pleasured me until my legs went numb. My head was spinning and he slowly got up.

"Do you want me to keep going?" he asked.  I wasn't sure what to say or do but I simply nodded yes.
