Chapter three
Nyx
My nose was under attack, antiseptic and another chemical was making it twist and wiggle. I mo-ned at the sharp exquisite pain in my head, one that briefly went through my body. I forced my eyes open and sat down.
‘You’re a much faster healer than I thought,’ someone said with obvious bemusement in her voice. I looked around until I found her at a table, brown eyes staring at me with bewilderment. ‘Good morning?’
‘I’m sorry, good morning ma’am, where am I?’
‘Alphedia….’
‘What! How?! Why?! Who brought me here?!’
‘His Majesty,’ she said calmly as she stood up carefully. ‘According to what he said, you are an Ostrazian and you saved his life, healed him when no single healer in this realm could, how did you do that? Why do you look different? What is the moon crest on your back for?’
‘All I know is that I was born like this, that crest have been on my back for as long as I remember and I don’t know why. As for how I healed him, you can guess that I’m an healer…..’
‘I’m also an healer!’ She huffed slamming her hands on the bed, I flinched with fright. ‘I’ve watched him go through so much pain without being able to do anything about it, no other soul have being able to lay a finger on him let alone clasped their hand to his and heal him but yet you did, you took away the pain, he haven’t had an episode for days now and it’s all because of you,’ I was shaking with fear as tears gathered in my eyes. She walked to me and enfolded me a hug and I was like “what’s going on?”. ‘Thank you, thank you so much.’ She sobbed.
‘I’m confuse,’ she pulled back and wiped her tears.
‘Of course, my names Nita O’Reilly hut people around here calls me Mama O’Reilly or Ms Nita, I’m the kingdom’s head healer….’
‘I thought they had doctors?’
‘Oh we do, the healers are what we call the higher rank of doctors, the higher ranks always have strong healing powers and I’m number one,’ I nodded with curiosity. ‘I was his nanny when he was just a baby to the very moment he became king. I watched him grow….’ A smile crawled on her l-ips as she stared into space. ‘He wasn’t a smiling kind from the beginning but he was happy, powerful and filled with determination. His first love was his mother, Queen Aurora who prefers we call her Anjiala, she was a darling filled with wisdom and understanding…’ She sighed bitterly. ‘When she died along with his best friend, his father the king, he drew into a shell of bitterness, agony, force maturity although he was always the mature type. That maturity pushed him to stop the darkness and suffer the punishment right till now. He’s in pains every single day just because of some selfish people who will gladly dethrone him if they could, it’s a good thing you were able to temporarily heal him, if you can do it once, you can do it again.’
‘Wow, so I’m here fooooor?’
‘You’re his new personal slave,’
‘What….’ I breathe.
‘Don’t worry, he won’t treat you like that. I better inform him of your consciousness,’ she stood up and smiled. ‘You haven’t told me your name?’
‘Nyx,’
‘Simple and dark, I like it. Nice to meet you Nyx,’ with that she walked off.
‘Time for me to get lost,’ I removed all the drips from my body and stood up, I’m a fast healer so it won’t affect me.
Sky
I stared at her as she made her escape with an amuse smile, where did she think she was going to? I was standing at my balcony, leaning on the rail as I watched her sneak out skillfully. The foolish guards couldn’t see her, honestly if it wasn’t for my universal sight, I wouldn’t have seen her; she’s a sneaky girl.
‘Sky,’ Ms Nita called as she walked into my room.
‘Good morning,’
‘The girl’s awake but I’m sure you already know that because you’re you,’
‘I know, just like I can see her now sneaking out of the hospital.’ The hospital was a little bit far but I could still see it.
‘That’s impossible, aside from the castle, the hospital has the highest security….’
‘Sure it does,’ I cut her off chucklingly. ‘I’ll be right back.’ I jumped over the rail and ran off.
Nyx
Darn it! I’m lost. I turned around the garden in confusion, I was lost in where was I? I huffed and turned only to yelp at the sight of him.
‘Where do you think you’re sneaking out to?’ I gulped and bowed.
‘Your Majesty,’
‘Where to?’ He was dressed in all black with a long scarf flying around his neck. His hands were deep in,side his pockets, an amuse look gracing his beautiful face. I opened my mouth and shamelessly drooled over the dude standing six feet away from my left side. ‘Hey,’ he snapped his fingers.
‘Are you single?’ I gasped and cupped my mouth. ‘I’m so sorry sire, it came out by mistake. I was just wondering if you’re single and searching b….er…..hi,’ he chuckled. That was so humiliating.
‘Nyx, am I right?’ I nodded. ‘Welcome to Alphedia slave,’
‘Slave?’
‘You’ll be going to Alphedia Knights Academy to learn how to use your powers well without passing out eventually….’
‘No, I’m not going anywhere!’ I said stomping my feet.
‘I’m not asking you, I’m ordering you,’
‘You can’t tell me what to do!’
‘Who are you talking to?’ He asked reminding me who I was disobeying. I bowed in acquiescence and reverence and clasped my hands together. ‘I’m only leaving you because you saved my life, I’ve done my part in appreciating y….’
‘You ruined my village, destroyed my people. Every single day we suffer, don’t you know how to forgive? My mother was sacrifice when I was just a baby, do you know how that hurts? How would you feel if your mother was sacrificed,’ I sobbed. ‘Why can’t you just forgive them?’
‘You think I was the one who cursed you all? No, the ones who cursed you is greater than I am, when the time comes, they will lift the curse themselves. Now go back the way you came, Ms Nita will be waiting for you.’ I itched my head with a nervous grin.
‘Where am I again?’
‘Oh darn,’ before I could blink, he scooped me into his arms bridal style and scoffed. ‘You’re heavier than you look,’ my eyes scan his handsome face, what happened? Did perfection k-ss his face? I was drooling, he was really handsome. I reached out and touched his cheeks.
‘Are you going to marry me?’ I blunted out, he scoffed again and teleported to a room. He put me down on the bed, by put I meant throw. ‘My dad, can you tell him I’m okay?’ He nodded, ‘you’re hot.’ I blunted out and cupped my mouth. I looked at my feet shyly with red cheeks. I looked up but he was gone, jerk.
One Week Later
One week of fun and hell, fun because Mama O’Reilly was always there to make me feel the love of a mother and comfort me and because I was mostly with him, he was teaching me how to balance my healing light so it won’t overload whenever I used it. Heaven! Then it was hell because every other people treated me like trash, they all hated the Ostrazian living in the castle, especially the maids who were envious of the fact that I was close to him. I received insults, hateful remarks and comments, everything was hærd. Anyways, it was time to go to school.
‘What should I wear?’ I mused as I walked into my majesty wardrobe, Mama O’Reilly took me shopping and I had everything I’d ever wanted. I picked out a bright lemon lime poncho top, black shorts, lemon knitted wedge and black hat. I slid in a white belt and carried a white backpack. I had a feeling the hat didn’t go well but who cares, I walked out when I was done to the dinning room. My food was served, I ate at the same table with him, isn’t that awesome? ‘Good morning señor,’ I greeted with a playful bow. He didn’t spare me a glance. ‘Am I trekking to school?’
‘Just eat,’ I sat down and opened my plate, I smiled and ate the wh0le chicken, food is good. After eating while he stared at me, he stood up and I followed, just to ask him for money, I’m a pest.
‘Can I ask you for something?’ I asked skipping beside him. He gave me a green wallet, I giggled and took it. ‘Thank you,’
‘Stop skipping,’
‘Hop,’ I hopped along while laughing. I followed him to his hall of vehicles, he got to a legit black hover motorbike that somehow looked like a hover-snowmobile. He climbed on and wore a black helmet with Alphedia’s symbol at the back and gave me a red one. I wore it on top of the helmet, he sighed and removed it, snatched and burnt my hat then wore the helmet for me again. I giggled as his finger brushed my chin. He drove off immediately I got on, I yelped. ‘I’m going to fall!’
‘Don’t touch me,’ he warned. It was like they knew he was coming because they gave way for him, he was driving at lightning speed yet they knew it was him or maybe it was his powers pushing them aside. I challenged my existence and wrapped my hands around his wa-ist, resting on his back and listening to his heartbeat. His heart had an unusual sync but it was musical. He gro-ned but didn’t do anything.
‘Why ride a hover bike when you can simply fly or teleport there?’ He didn’t answer me. ‘Come on, answer me,’ he still didn’t reply. ‘Should I start laughing again?’ My laugh is the most annoying sound I’ve ever heard. ‘Should I?’
‘That’ll be abusing my powers,’
‘How old are you?’ Silent. ‘I’m feeling a tingle in my throat,’
‘It’s sad I can’t silent your voice, please shut up,’
‘I’m nineteen, soon to be twenty. I love cowgirl dresses because it’s all I had to grow up with, I read a lot of books, I taught myself how to read and write. I love music, painting, drawing and animals. I have two best friends….’
‘You’ve said that a lot, if I tell you my age, will you shut up?’
‘Maybe,’
‘Twenty seven….’
‘Whoa! You don’t look a day over twenty! That’s a hug age gap….nay, I’m almost twenty and you’re twenty seven, that’s not too far, can we still get married?
‘Please shut up,’
‘What’s your favorite color? What’s your favorite food? What’s your favorite music? Are you a sadist or a g-yist? Have you ever dated? A….’
‘F-cking shut up!!!!’ I clicked my tongue and grinned.
‘Do you like cats? I love cats.’
‘Why!’ He cried, jerk. The rest of the ride was hærd for him, I was asking questions and he was whining. He parked the bike and sighed, everyone at the parking lot bowed with respect, I got down first and gave him my helmet. ‘Remind me never to drive you to school for the rest of my life,’
‘I was curious,’ I pouted. ‘Can you show me to class? Everyone hates me,’ he got down like a bad ass nigga and I fanned my face. ‘You’re the hottest man I’ve ever seen,’
‘Shut up,’ he dropped the helmets and walked to the building, I trailed behind skipping as I sang. He took me to the principal’s office, enrolled me and then took me to class. ‘After school…’
‘You’ll pick me up?’ I asked excitedly.
‘Over my dead body,’ he flicked my head, it was a simple flick but the internal pain that came after made me reel back. ‘Shut up and stay away from everyone for your own good.’
‘My brain, I can’t concentrate, you just destroyed my head,’ he rolled his eyes and flicked it again. My eyes turned, I couldn’t see again. ‘I’m blind!’ I scratched my eyes and opened them. ‘Oh, I can see now, bye charming.’ I flicked his head too and ran into the class before he chased and threw me over a mountain like he did twice. I touched his hair and he threw me off a mountain, I almost died but he still saved my life.
He’s sweet in a complicated way.
My head still hurts.
