Chapter 11 Her tears makes me happy
CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN POV
I held tighter on his clothes. He is between me and Dallas. Windy runs so fast that even Wendell bur aunt Miranda is holding tightly while Daisy is embracing her mother tightly.
"Windy, Wendell, make sure to ran around them! And two of you should ran in different directions. Our target is to let them face each other. It's either they will touch each other or threw their boulders on each other." he said.
"What kind of plan did you have in mind?!"
"We understand the plan, master." Windy.
"Let's see if they can turn themselves into ice and break off like what we witnessed a while ago."
"Wendell is right. Now run on opposite sides! Go!"
They started splitting on following a path. Wendell went to East and made a distance to each other for about 15 feet. After that, they both stopped. They faced each other. I gulped, I felt like my breathing was about to stop. What kind of plan they had in mind?!
"One, two, three!" he shouted. They started to ran but not meeting halfway, they indeed ran on different sides and make a circle smoke out of this thick snow! I closed my other eye, the snow was making my eyelashes froze. The two frozen giant monsters started twisting around while trying to threw their boulders to us. I felt like my breathing would stop as soon as possible, I can feel the wind created by the falling boulders in our back.
"Meet each other, now!" he said. They stopped and suddenly ran to each other as if they're about to attack each other. I gulp. Am I going to die now?!
"What kind of plan is thisssss?!" I shouted. The two giants faced each other after the two tigers meet each other between the two froze giants. I heard something like two heads who bump each other. We all looked above us. It's the two...giants?! They turned to ice and broke like glass.
"Run!" he said. The two tigers ran as the blocks of ice starts to fall. We are heading into a dark forests? Come on! What kind of danger this time?!
"Everyone, welcome to forest of dark shadows. A mountain where night never stop and light never land." Wendell. I gulp.
"What kind of danger this mountain has?" I ask.
"It's full of dark beings. But mostly they're animals. Mythical of course. Let's walk slowly and don't make any screams or else the guard of this forest will eat you off alive." he said. I gulped. I took the box from my bag and opened it. I looked on the book that might tell me the basic of teleportation. We have to leave soon!
GABRIELLE HUMPHRIES POV
I saw him standing on the garden. He looks stressed and mad as well. It's been three days since that werewolf took Cynthia and leave the capital. No one from the 10 cities, 18 provinces and 115 villages updates us about Cynthia and Ulysses hanging around their areas. I stood beside him.
"Are you okay, George?"
"Don't ask such a silly question, princess Gabrielle. How can a man like me be okay while the woman he likes are being kidnapped by an evil beast?" he said. Damn!
"What kind of things did you saw with Cynthia why do you like her even the court themselves are not considering her as a part of the kingdom?" I asked.
"Because she is beautiful and pure, royal highness. She never lies and never wishes bad for other people. She is always been a person who can sacrifice everything for the sake of the person she cared for. That's who I wish to marry and be the mother of my child." he said. My palm turned to fist underneath my sleeve. 'What kind of bad fruit did you planted in George's mind, you scoundrel woman! You are trying to take everything that I wanted. Die wherever you are. Just die!'
"Are you sure that you saw the real her?"
"I know she is not a cunning woman, PRINCESS." he said after facing me. He even emphasizes my title.
"What did you mean by that, George? Are you accusing the crown princess?" I said. He bowed down.
"I dare not to do so, my royal highness. I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I never thought you will feel bad about my statement." he said.
"Remember that she is a daughter of witch who used father to deceive innocent people, George. You already see that she chose that beast over the kingdom. It only means that blood with the same color reacts to each other." I said. He looked back and stared on the nothingness.
"I believe that, royal princess. Just like how things will go back to you. When you did bad then karma will come after you like a snake who sneaks in the room silently." he said again. I tried to hide my irritation. He might think that I am being soured by his words. 'For now, I will be the best girl for you. Sooner than later, you will be mine, George. Even if I have to strangle you and put a leash on you! I won't let you have the chance to take Cynthia and make her your wife. That will never happen!'
"Commander George, the king wants to talk to you."
"Okay. I will follow you. Princess, I have to meet your father." he said. I smiled and nodded.
"Of course. You may go now." I said. He left me.
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV
She held me so tightly. I sigh and speak to calm her.
"Don't held me like that. Do you want me to die in suffocation?" I ask. She put her face in my shoulder.
"I am afraid. I feel like I am in the palace's dungeon. I'm sorry." she said. I can feel her body is shaking.
"I am here, we are here. You are not in the capital anymore. Relax. Try to teleport us as soon as possible, Cynthia." I said. I can even feel her warmth.
"O okay. Let me try to synchronize the information's that I read on mother's grimoire."
"Okay then. This place is not only dark, there is a place of this forest that can fooled us. It will bring us nor give us a dream where we can't even think if it was real or not. I heard that when you dream here, your reality will be like your dream." I said. But before I knew it, we are already trap in to a DREAM.
"This place..." I mumbled and looked around.
"Ulysses! Where have you been again? Your father and I are looking for you." mother. She hugs me.
"Mother..." I just mumble. My parents are... alive?
"Ulysses! Where have you been? Are you slacking in your training again?" father. I gulp and smile.
"Nope. Not really father. I just sleep and I feel like I am in a world where you and mother are dead."
"Silly. I think you shouldn't be sleeping around and you might encounter a witch who will play around. My goodness, go back in the training ground."
"Okay father." I said. A witch? I thought I dreamt that I meet a good witch and helped me to have a start. Later on, her daughter became my...mate? I shook my head. Maybe father was right. I shouldn't be slacking around. A witch must have cast a spell to give me such a weird dream.
"Get ready for the next round! A one on one fight with the same number that you pick. Come on, make a line and pick a number." our teacher. I end up picking number seven.
"Oh, see you at the ring. I will prove to everyone that even you're not the alpha's son, you won't be an alpha." Nelson. I didn't answer. Let's wait and see.
"Number seven!" he said. We both go on the center. He attacks first, what I have noticed is that he fights without any kind of strategy. I twist my body around and chop him on his back. He gives me a death glare. He is about to punch me when I catch his fist and kick his knee.
"Agh!" he said in pain. I threw a punch on him but he catch it also. He smirked. He wanted to throw a flying kick but I used my two arms to shield myself. Father said, kick him on his feet then he will on the ground.
"Agh!" he said. When he felt on the ground. I over top him and I'm about to punch him in his face but my fist landed on his side. He saw how the floor crack because of it. I stood up.
"I don't need to be strong Nelson. I just need to use my head." I said. Our teacher coughed.
"The winner is Ulysses! Next pair, number eight!"
I decided to leave the ring and go home already. I was hungry and I wanted to mother's bread for snack. Apparently a woman bumped me. She was holding a basket with mangoes. I helped her in picking up the mangoes on the ground.
"I'm sorry." I said. She raise her face. 'Did I see her or meet her already? She looks damn familiar.'
"It's okay. I understand next leader. Don't worry about it. Thank you anyway." she said. We stood.
"Sorry, did we meet somewhere before?" I ask.
"Maybe. It's up to you, my lord." she said. That is not the answer that I needed. She turned her back and took a few steps away from me.
"Wait, you must be new in the village. I am sorry for being rude. Can I know your name?" I ask.
"Cynthia. My name is Cynthia Maximillian."
"What did you say? Maximillian? Wait—"
When I look around, she's nowhere to be found. I went home and saw father reading a book.
"You're home. Let's eat. Dinner is served." she said.
"Mother, have we adopted another woman in the village. A woman named Cynthia Maximillian."
"Adopted? I haven't heard her. How about you, honey?" mother said and sat down.
"No. There is no newcomer here. What are you talking about this time, Ulysses?"
"But I did saw her. She has beautiful green eyes, a way curl hair and slender body." I said. They sighed.
"Come on, you must have been hungry. We don't have any woman like that. Let's have dinner instead."
I just sigh and we eat dinner. I am now on the roof staring on the moon. My head suddenly hurt and I saw a moon that became pink. What the heck. Agh!
"I...I won't deny you as my mate! I will change to whoever you want me to be! Just help me. I don't want to be in that dark and cold place again."
My eyes turned to yellow upon hearing those words from a woman. Her face is blurry. Who is that woman? Suddenly, a voice is calling me.
"Ulysses! Wake up! Ulysses! I need you here!" she said. 'Silly witch!' I opened my eyes. I saw her in tears, I can even feel the tears in my cheeks. This the first that some cries for me. I caressed her cheeks.
"You're back. I'm glad. But we have a problem."
"The heck." I said. Shadow assassins, what a pain—!
