Chapter83: wrath

"-sorry Ayana you can't be here; please leave before the king see you.

-but I am the personal maid of the princess.

-not anymore.

-but how…

-the king ordered for another one and he told us to tell you that you are off work this period and not allowed to leave the castle.

-fine." She answered with a forced smile and left the guards.

Mal had to wake up at some random noise.

"-Ayana please five more minutes.

-who is Ayana?" One of the maid said. The curly haired girl sat up quickly with her messy hair to find a bunch of giggly unknown girls in her room.

"-I was talking to myself never mind.

-oh, the king asked you to get ready."

She had to pass through the deadly preparation and forced to wear a corset and meet the guests in the garden.

They talk about last night and she had to reassure every person thousands of time before she escaped the big crowed with the princesses and new faces joined.

They weren't that wanted company but she had to act as if she wasn't bothered at the slightest by them.

What made think worse, her new accompany that made the rules stricter and annoying to death.

They were walking in the garden that open on the western forest.

She had enough sleep but she was yawning constantly due to the interesting topics the girls were discussing.

Boys. Marriage. Dresses. Etiquette.

All the boring things she can least relate to. She missed Ayana at least they would have much more fun.

She looked through the tree bushes and a mad horse was running toward them.

They all jumped back from fear except for her.

Since it was her missing horse that day at the storm.

She was so happy she didn't lost him but how?

A note was tied to one of his braids in a red ribbon.

'-follow the ribbons.'

"-ew, what's that disgusting smell?" one them said.

"-it's that thing. How could you touch him." She ignored her and get on his back.

"-miss Ayana you can't ride a horse that's against the rules.

-unfortunately I don't care about the rules and if the king asked about me tell him I went for a quick ride with the prince." She kicked her horse and he stood on his two back legs then ran quickly.

She was enjoying the feeling of air hitting her face but mostly freedom and the smell of trees.

She followed the ribbons, she thought of a quicker way to get to the destination but she over-dropped an expected conversation.

"-what do you mean you don't feel like eating?

-I'm not hungry.

-I'm not talking about that kind of food Kieran.

-I don't feel like I needed.

-stop saying no sense or have you been feeding on Mal." She knew what they were talking about and she clenched her teeth.

"-no I did not and I won't! I told you I don't need to feed on someone else energy I feel good.

-First you apologize to me; start being truthful and sincere and now you don't want to feed. Tell me you don't have any feeling of lust for girls.

-well…" Kieran rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"-is there something I don't know?

-yeah cause I didn't know if it's real or me hallucinating.

-which is?

-I wasn't growing lust inside me but it kind of disappeared.

-what? I didn't understand. You don't lust anyone like even Mal.

-maybe the first days but it changed completely it's more than that I won't to feed on her soul or play some good time which I didn't consider honestly.

-then what about that night.

-that night I didn't have any desire for her.

-then what did you had passion! Stop being ridiculous.

-the problem is that I am not.

-then what did you wanted from her.

-I wasn't intending to you know…I really wanted to kill her, break her heart, be her worst nightmare, torture her to death in the most pleasurable way. Thinking of her in pain was really tempting, I really desired to destroy her to pieces that she can't collect herself anymore."

Howin was speechless, unable to talk or react.

Kieran was concerned and suddenly the black haired boy snapped walking back and forth in frustration:

"-this is bad! You are turning to a psychopath instead of a decent demon! I shouldn't have listened to you!

-now blaming me!

-if you just waited a bit more everything will have gone perfectly. But no!

-I am not taking in consideration hurting her for my father's plan to work and you know that well.

-you promised that no one will get on the way, no one will distract you or you will grow feelings for them.

-she is not a distraction and I don't have feelings for her as if you are not growing them now too Howin.

-you know how hard if I tried I will never have human feelings like you.

-are you jealous of me or judging me for having them?

-let's say you are growing wrath and I'm growing envy for human kind.

-that sounds interesting.

-don't change the subject, what's your plan since I got no choice but to follow my best friend twist actions?

-I…" she learned to hear carefully the plan and a fruit fall from the tree making the horse run toward the boys.

She hardly managed to calm him again and Howin disappeared at that moment.

"-I didn't expect you to come that late my lady.

-I was looking for the ribbon as the instructions demanded.

-did you like what I sent you?

-where did you found him?

-Howin found him and he know how much this horse means to you through Pryor. So he brought it to you.

-that's nice from someone who hate hunters.

-I doubt he still do. Anyway let's go.

-where?

-we will choose the wedding dress and my costume my bride.

-really?

-the last one to get to the shop have to fulfill the other a wish. Ready and go!" he started and she followed him trying to catch up with his pace.
