Sugar And Ice

chapter 14

Pov of Dimitri

              Screaming for help with her in my arms. I bring her to our bed and lay her down. Covering her up. Edward runs into the room.
    "What the fuck was that?" He shouts with a worried look. Putting pants on running my hands through my hair walking back and forth. What  just happened? Completely cutting me off guard with her powerful scream. She made the whole castle shake. And in my whole life I've never seen purple eyes before. What the fuck is she?
               "She did it." I whisper. " Huh? what do you mean she did it? She's the one that screamed like that? She shock the whole damn castle Dimitri. Everyone is down stairs wondering what happened. And we heard you scream for help. So I came as fast as I could. Shit. That was fucking crazy." Running his hand over his face.
            "Get Hazel" I ordered him. "On it" he walks out. Hazel is a local witch that lives several towns over. She helps people in need who can't afford typical healthcare. She's several hundred years old, never been married at least since the last time I saw her which was couple of decades ago.
               Going to the closet i grab a black night gown. Brining it to Mila to put it on her. I need her mother here, if anyone could give us answers, it's her. She thinks she's with Victoria and Victoria thinks she went back home on an emergency. " Viktor! " I telepathically connect with him. "Boss men" "I need Milas mother here. No trouble just keep it simple. She thinks she's with her friend, so make up something. Just bring her here quickly. "  "no worries, I got it".
            Going towards her, touching her face, she's breathing lightly. Seeing her chest rise up and down calmly. I take her hands between mine. Kneeling down next to her. "Wake up baby, wake up. come back to me."
              Mari, knocks at the door. "Come in"   now seating by the window looking at her. Several hrs have passed. Mari walks in looking straight at her and than at me.  "Edward told us a few of the details, Viktor and Olga left right after." Handed me a water bottle and liquor. I smirk. She knows me too well. Opening up the liquor i take a big gulp  of it, burning on its way down. "Do you want anything to eat? I shake my head no. Walking towards the bathroom, looking around. She goes in and stars cleaning it up.
           Bringing my attention back to Mila, she moves a little. I quickly get up seating on the bed to be next to her. She's fluttering her eyes open, I grab her hand rubbing them softly. "Dimitri? I need to use the restroom. " She whispers, her voice sounded raspy. Pulling the blanket off of her I pick her up. Mari finishes up  what she can, excusing herself. Pulling Milas gown up setting her down on the toliet. I let her finish. I pick her up brining her back to our bed. Before we make it back she falls asleep again in my arms. I laid us down. Turning off the lights, holding her tight against me. Until sleep takes me over.
           Waking up, feeling the warmth of her body next to mine. I look down at her. She's still sound asleep. Looking at the clock it's 5 in the morning. I get up and get dressed. Going to the bathroom, doing my business. I come back out. Checking my phone for emails and messages. Olga and Viktor will be here later this night. Edward got here last night with Hazel in tow. Looking back to Mila, I get out in search of Hazel.
       Hearing talking, I follow it to the kitchen where Mari and Hazel are drinking coffee. "Your majesty" Hazel bowing down, I nod my head at her. " I heard you're in need of assistance with your mate? And congratulations as well i might add." Smiling at me. She's shorter than Mari but not by much,  she has blonde hair up in a bun. Dressed casual, I believe she's frozen in her 30s but not really sure. "Thank you Hazel, and thank you for coming quickly and on short notice.

" Giving her a small smile.

"Of course, you haven't been anything other than kind to me, what can I do for you?" Looking directly at me. "I'm not exactly sure. I need to find out what she is." Raising her eye brows at me. "Edward told me what he knows but what more am I missing? Maybe I can start putting the puzzle pieces together? But honestly, you're the oldest around here,  you might have more knowledge than me, no?" She questions tilting her head at me, taking a sip of her coffee.
             "Her eyes turned purple" Speaking quietly, looking down putting my arms on my chest. She drops her drink on the floor. Looking up at her, "Oh so sorry Mari, it just slipped out of my hands" grabbing a rag to clean up the mess. She starts breathing quickly trying to hide it but I notice it.
             "What do you know?" I questioned her with a low stern voice.  She looks up at me, "nothing yet" she says trying to sound truthful but I know she's lying. "What do you know?" walking towards her, she slowly gets up backing away from me. "Nothing concrete, they're myths that we've heard going around for centuries." Stopping right infront of her, "what myths?"    " remember it's just myths and sayings, until I know more forsure." "Spit it out Hazel " demanding an answer.   "If what we think is real she's supposed to be power herself, she's the oldest supernatural thing on this planet. We've heard tells of people with purple eyes but never ever been seen before us. Some even say that they're not from this earth. That's all, I swear. Really. "
     Turning my back at her, walking back and forth taking it all in. "Did you mark her? Did you turn her?" She whispers.     "I did and she'll turn by the next full moon."  answering her.  "Well, depending on what she really is, and now that you've marked her she'll turn but to what? We truly don't know or how it'll affect her. Mentally and physically. Do you know who her parents are? I can message my coven and ask around?
                       "Her father is dead and her mother is on her way. I didn't really go into really looking in her parents past. We'll have to dig to get to the bottom. Once her mother is here. She'll be here late this evening. No word to anyone just yet. " Nodding her head.
     I need to go back, "Mari can you bring some food when you get a moment? " Speaking to Mari now, "of course" getting up going to the refrigerator. "No one speaks to anyone."  " Of course"  speaking in unison.
         Going upstairs, back to her, finding her exactly where I left her. She's breathing softly, whatever amount of power she used must of taken a great toll on her especially if she's never used it before. Seating down looking out the window, it's a little past 7 and the day has been extremely long.
             She starts moving getting up to look at her, she starts to mumble, tears start to leak out of her eyes. "Dimitri, Dimitri, Dimitri. They took our boy, Dimitri, they took my baby boy." And she starts to sob but she's still sleeping. Brining her to me softly not wanted to wake her up. "I'll never let that happen, Mila, never." I whisper to her softly. She clings to me, her tears stopping as quickly as they came.
           Mari knocks at the door, brining in food. Looking at Mila, "anything else I can get you?"   "I think we'll be ok, thank you Mari." Bringing her face up to look at me with a smile, leaving as quickly as she came.
