You are safe now
Kendric appeared in a place where all around him there was only fire, burning, burning fiercely. His eyes, which were already dark, sharp and terrifying, were now burning, full of anger, if only they could be compared, his burning eyes rivaled the burning coals of fire, even more burning, like the fire of hell that was ready to destroy the whole world. His palms were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
He looked around, looking for the figure he was looking for. Only to see a situation that was unimaginable to him, he could see with his eyes rolling with anger.
He saw Leigh in another man's arms, if not for the fact that Leigh's body looked limp and he could feel from the inner contact he felt, that she was already unconscious. Of course, it was very obvious, with her human body being vulnerable to fire and smoke, she was definitely unconscious.
Another thing he saw was a dark mist surrounding the two of them, with just one glance he immediately knew that this was due to the influence of magic that someone sent to the man who was now hugging the only woman who could make his heart melt after thousands of frozen year.
The fire, which was previously afraid to approach the dark mist that shrouded Vhaken's body, was now free to approach. As if given permission to come closer and ready to burn the two remaining souls, not yet burned.
In a second the flames crept closer to Leigh's body. Suddenly the two were separated by an invisible force, Vhaken's body was thrown backwards, the fire which had only been an inch away now burned brightly, burning Vhaken's body. At first, he just stood still, his eyes wide open, shocked by what was happening. The woman he loved was now no longer in his arms but was in the arms of another man who he knew very well who he was. Despite the shocked attitude he received, Vhaken's bright red eyes, lost their color, dimmed until they returned to their original color, the influence of the magic that had possessed his body had disappeared. Slowly, what he felt now was a burning sensation all over his body. Until his consciousness realized what was happening. He screamed hysterically and in pain.
With one flick of Kendric's fingers, the fire that devoured Vhaken's body immediately disappeared, leaving only Vhaken's charred body. But still living and dying. If it was an ordinary fire with embers that only lasted a few seconds, he should have been helped. Moreover, with today's technology, his body will return to its original state with plastic surgery, and he will look young and energetic.
Unfortunately, the fire that burned his body was not ordinary fire, but an ancient magic fire, once it burned it would leave nothing but ashes.
Apart from Vhaken hugging Leigh which he really doesn't like, Kendric's reasoning still works. He knew this wasn't his fault. But rather the influence of the dark magic in his body. For that reason, he stopped his suffering, he walked over to him.
Vhaken's dim eyes looked into his peaceful eyes. His mouth was burned, he couldn't move, but he could still make a sound. Only one word came out of his mouth "Leigh"
Kendric smiled, looked sadly at Vhaken, behind the suffering he was feeling, he was still worried about other people. "She's fine" after that he put his hand on his head saying, "Go in peace" and his eyes slowly closed, Despite the influence of the dark magic that possessed his body, the feelings he felt for Leigh were real, in his mind he said 'I'm sorry Leigh, my feelings for you almost killed you, if I knew this would happen, then I would have buried my feelings deeply. And I'm grateful that at least you're okay now, although I have to admit, that I'm very grateful to Kendric, the person I really don't like, actually came at the right time to help you. I know he is not an ordinary human being, I hope you will be fine and happy by his side' his deepest heart screamed, that his life ended in such a way. But he can smile in the end, the person he loves is safe. After that he breathed his last breath. Then Vhaken's standing body was charred, slowly turning into grains of dust, blown away by the wind until in the end leaving no trace at all.
The fire burning in Leigh's house had disappeared at the same time as the fire disappeared from Vhaken's body. He didn't care about anything else. There was only one thing in his mind. Leigh, who since he separated from Vhaken's body, was sleeping floating in the air with a protective barrier he put surrounding her body.
Kendric walked towards Leigh, raised his arms outstretched in front of him, ready to welcome Leigh body. Her floating body descended and landed in both of his hands. Slowly he hugged her tightly in his arms and disappeared into thin air.
Silence enveloped the magnificent and exclusive room, almost commensurate with the dark night outside the Mansion he had owned and lived in for three decades. This mansion is one of his house to stay, because he has many luxurious and magnificent houses, there is even one like a palace, but he only goes there occasionally, and even then only stays for a few days. At least to remind the servants who work there, that their master will appear at any time, so that they do not neglect carrying out their duties.
Slowly, he walked towards the bed. Laying Leigh down who was still unconscious. Gently and carefully, he lay her down on the soft bed sheet. He slowly placed Leigh's head on the pillow, then straightened her legs. Pulling the blanket up to her chin, so she wouldn't get cold.
His head lifted towards the fireplace which had dimmed since the last time he was in the room, with a wave of his hand, the blocks neatly arranged on the side of the fireplace, floated to the center, the fire immediately burned brightly. He wanted to make sure that the room temperature was sufficient for Leigh, because it was quite cold out there.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Leigh's face which looked calm and peaceful. Far from feeling horrified and worried when he was in Vhaken's clutches at her burning house. He raised his left hand to her left temple, to tuck a stray piece of hair behind her ear that fell over her eyes.
A small smile graced his sensual lips. He could stare at Leigh's face all night without getting tired, because to him her face brought calm and peace that could not be expressed in words. Only she can make himself feel alive again after living in emptiness for so long.
"You're safe now" he said in a soft voice so it wouldn't wake her sleep.
Kendric continued to sit there staring at Leigh until almost at dawn. Where the sun is ready to radiate its warmth in cold and freezing temperatures. Ready to evaporate the dew that adorns the leaves with clear, fresh-looking grains on the trees that surround his luxury mansion.
He stood up, ready to start his daily routine. He wanted to be by Leigh's side when she woke up, but he thought she would be stunned and frightened if she saw him sitting with her in bed. So, he decided, allowing herself to adapt, before he revealed what happened last night. He walked towards the door. Opened it with a soft creak, before stepping out, he is turning around once more towards Leigh. Then his gaze wandered to the gloomy of his bedroom and his eyebrows knitted together darkly. A yanking sound was heard, after which he turned, walked out the door and closed it behind him. Then he walked away from his bedroom, with small smile adorn in his lips.
The sound of birds chirping sounded sweet to the ears. Moreover, the calm morning atmosphere in a luxurious Mansion surrounded by valleys and mountains. The sun still seemed shy to emit its warm rays, still hiding behind the bright curling clouds that decorated the blue sky. Like pure white cotton flying, sticking to the sky. Creating a blue canvas that is no longer blue and etching the lines of a life full of meaning.
In one large, exclusive, and magnificent room. The light of the morning slipped in between the curtains that covered the window. It made the room brighter, almost beating the brightness of the embers in the fireplace which were still burning brightly.
Leigh's eyelids opened slowly. Her vision was still blurry to adjust to the level of light entering her blue eyes, like the color of the blue sea that make one calming. She slowly open her blue sea eyes, that can make one soul at peace in mind.
