Sugar And Ice

chapter 29

We travel for awhile, my legs begging to stretch. No one says a word only silence and except the cars that are next to us, speeding next to us as we're traveling. Victoria fell asleep on my shoulder as our fingers are still intertwine. I haven't paid much attention as we pass through the towns and city's. At one moment we were next to a body of water following along the shore.

The sky is starting to slowly get dark.

"We will rest while we get in position." Henry announces.

"We can't see in the dark." I whisper.

"You'll be with me until it's time." Henry says while looking out the window.

We go off the freeway and continue towards a completely empty road. Only one yield light altering traffic. Where are we and where are we going? We can't go directly to the king. That would be a suicide mission. Who goes directly to the persons domain when you want to attack?

Victoria is slowly stirring awake. Tugging at my hand as she remembers where we're at. I remain calm memorizing everything i can from our trip.

"Mila?" I hear him in my head.

I grip Victoria's hand, looking at her hard.

"Dimitri?" My heart starts beating faster. I kick myself mentally for not trying to speak to him through our link earlier. Thankfully I never learned to block him off, he stopped reading mine, except what I showed him at my apartment about the children I dreamed about.

"Are you and Victoria ok?"

"We are. Where are you?"

"We're close baby, we're close, just hang on a little bit longer."

"He wants me to kill their king." I tell him and I hear nothing.

"Dimitri?" I call to him, as I start freaking out, not hearing him for a while.

"I'm here, he knows they're coming for him. He didn't know you were involved as of now. Don't try anything until we have you both.

"Ok" I replied looking away from Victoria.

"Mila I mean it. For once in your life listen to me and do as I've told you."

"I'll try."

"Mila..." Sounding extremely frustrated as he sighs. I can picture him, closing his eyes trying to keep himself calm.

"If I can help, I will Dimitri. "

"NO! We don't know what you're capable of and what exactly he will try to do..."

"They don't know either."

"What does he know?"

"Only that I can move people and things."

"Nothing else?"

"He didn't mention anything else. Only those but he believes i can do more."

"Have you tried controlling them? Like you have my people and the humans."

"No....I'm not sure i can. I don't want to try it and it back fires on me. If I try anything, they'll kill her, she has her own personal vampire ready to kill at any moment I might make."

Only silence i hear again for a while.

"Don't do anything Mila..."

"I'll try..." repeating myself, if I can help any where, shape, or from, I will.

"Mila..." Sounding fed up with my on going disobedience.

We stop on the side of the road, everything completely dark now that the sun is completely gone, surrounded by the woods and nothingness.
