The Phoenix King :Alexandria

Fire Equals Danger

V didn't say much on our way to his ice castle. I was so confused and angry. I know what I saw but no one else believed me. I released my phoenix spirit without knowing it. I felt anger rush through my veins and I wanted to unleash all of it. I hadn't notice V was holding my hand the entire time. I think that is what kept me calm and relaxed. We walked into his castle and he led me to the hot spring.

"Seriously," I questioned.

"What, you need to warm up," he said.

"I appreciate you helping me and getting me out of there but I am not getting undressed right now," I told him.

"Fine," he answered as he took off his shirt. He got completely naked and slipped into the hot spring. I picked up my dress and just let my feet sink in.

"So, what happened back there," he said.

"I don't know, I saw these creatures and they were going to hurt some children," I tried to explain.

"Crawlers?" he asked.

"I'm not sure what they are but I think so," I said. "My parents told me about them but I never saw one. They were said to be extinct since my father won the war and killed most of them."

"Well, they weren't from this galaxy so there could be more," he said.

"Do you believe me?" I asked.

"I do," he answered simply. "I believe you also need to control that fire of yours,"

"I know but it's like its fighting to break free and I can't stop it," I told him.

"Listen, I know better than most that fire always equals danger and not just for you but for everyone around you," he said.

"I," I had no words. He sounded so serious and determined to make me understand what he was saying.

"I was born here on the planet Nem, my entire family for generations were all ice spirit holders but then I was born and I was a fire spirit holder," he began to explain. "My family was shocked but for a time they tried to understand and accept me. It was difficult though, I was a ticking time bomb. Fire and Ice don't mix well at times. I burnt my siblings a few times while we played. If my parents made me angry I would burn anything in sight. One day I burnt our entire village to the ground. No one was hurt but I felt like an outcast and like I didn't belong. My parents abandoned me and I was left alone. Luckily, I was able to make something of myself and build this castle here."

"And you haven't burnt it down yet?" I asked.

"No, not yet," he laughed. "I learned to control the rage and the fire burning inside me but it is hard to do at times. Sometimes you just want to build the heat and let the fire erupt."

"So you have been alone with no family all this time," I said.

"It's not so bad," he said.

"I couldn't imagine, I have only been without my parents for this little bit of time and I can't stand it," I told him.

"Well, my parents were assholes," he said.

"Don't say that," I pleaded.

"It's true, they didn't care to learn or understand," he said. He was getting angry and I felt the water heat up around my feet. I stood up and slipped off my dress. He was shocked but I could see him calm down and his face was less agitated. I swam to him and straddled him. I kissed him as deeply as I could. He was aggressive and ran his fingers through my hair. I could feel the water boiling around us.

"Sire, I told you, you will melt my castle if you don't simmer down," he said. "You can stay here as long as you like."

"Thank you," I told him. I was happy that he saved me and helped me forget about this day. 

I went to bed but I was restless. I couldn't let my mind rest. Those creatures were stuck in my head. I wanted answers but I didn't know where to begin. I suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. I went to go check and saw V using his fire spirit. It was coming out of his eyes. He was burning some statutes. He then noticed I was watching him and came towards me.

"What are you doing," he said harshly.

"I heaaard you," I stuttered. "I'm sorry, I saw."

"I know you did so now I should punish you," he said. I tried to walk back slowly but he took one long stride and grabbed me by my wrist. He pushed me to the closest wall and I felt a chill run down my spine as the wall was of course made of ice. He pinned me to the wall with my arms above my head. He kissed my neck and moved lower to my chest. He moved the robe I was wearing to the side and took my breast into his mouth and bit down on my now hard n****e.

"V!!" I cried out. He used his tongue to circle around my n****e and suck hard on my breast. He brought his mouth back to my lips and kissed me harshly. I bit his lip in response and I didn't know if I did it in defense or for pleasure.

"I want to make you mine," V said aggressively and seductively. I moaned and he suddenly let me go.

"V?" I questioned.

"Goodnight, my king," he said as he walked back inside. I guess this was his punishment. I know I didn't answer him but I think he knew my answer to his statement. I went back to bed and strangely I was able to go to sleep. I felt the warmth from V's hands still on my body and the chill from the wall on my back. It was soothing and helped me drift off to sleep. I guess that was another thing I could be thankful to V for.
