I look at him and say
"Why did you save me exactly?"
He looks up at me and stands up. His tall muscular frame overshadows mine as he quietly whispers
"The first time I met you, you were drowning, abandoned by the people who were supposed to protect...
A/N hey guys I don't want you guys to be confused with my story so I'm just going to clear some things up, there are some chapters that are written from different point of views and place in the world of this story. An example of such would be last chapter, the last chapter took time in the same place as chapter six, we are just looking at it from different points of views. This chapter is going to come back to our main character and it's still during the party. Please comment and vote, and tel me how you feel about the story!
Hiraeth pov
We leave the common place and enter Mr. Frankovich's office. Once inside, he locks the door very well and says "Let's begin" As he says such, he goes behind his office table, where a little book shelf is situated and pulls a book called 1776 by David McCullough. The book goes back in its place and the whole book shelf starts to shuffle to reveal a hidden room or should I say library. We walk in and David says "I have been waiting for this moment for a pretty long time" He looks at us with a serious look on his face and says "Please sit" We obey and he takes out a kors bottle of vodka. He serves both of us a drink and I say "Thank you but I don't drink" He says "Of course not, Hiraeth, you are only 16 after all." I look at Xerxes, in a confused matter and then look back at David. I ask him "How do you know that?" He says "All will be explained in due time" He continues "I will start with telling you both the whole truth, though Xerxes..." He looks at Xerxes and finishes off "Knows most of it" He looks back at me and says "Hiraeth, I work for the man who locked you up for all these years." My eyes widen and I start to tremble but Xerxes holds my thighs and I immediately feel the electricity pulsing through me, calming me. David continues "I must admit, I am ashamed of what I did. I know you will probably not trust me but I figure that the way to ask for forgiveness is by telling you the truth about who you two are." He gets up and takes one final look at us before he turns around and takes off a painting from the wall to reveal a safe. He opens it and takes out a wooden box that looks like it has been crafted thousands of years ago. He puts it on the table and Xerxes takes it and inspects it while David keeps speaking "You see, in my younger days, I did a lot of travelling, I went to countries such as Egypt and China to discover more on their history and artifacts. I came across this tablet in Egypt. It holds an ancient writing that isn't Egyptian or recognized at all but I have a feeling that it is connected to the both of you." I look at Xerxes and he says "It's Sumerian, it's a prophecy" He looks at me and then back at the tablet and reads:
One born of fire
With abilities powerful and dire
Another born of dust
Chosen to tame the dragons lust
In the hour, the moon and the sun will collide
And they shall discover their might
They are not from this world, they are hated by it
They will be searched in this world, and they will conquer it
He stops reading and laughs "A stupid prophesy, nothing to worry about" I look at him and I say "A prophesy nonetheless, what if it really has something to do with us" He looks at me and he holds my hand. He says "Don't be scared, I'll always protect you" I look him in the eyes but the moment soon gets interrupted by laughter. David whips his head back and says "God I never thought I would see this moment, could it be, that there's someone in this world that you care about?!" Xerxes growls and David laughs again. He holds his hands up in a surrender position and says "Alright I'm sorry" Xerxes gets up and says in a quiet and menacing tone. "I need your help. Tomorrow, Hiraeth and I will go to visit a dear friend who can probably tell us more about this. I need you to act like you have always acted when you go to work. Use him, get him to tell you what he plans to do." David says "He already did. He plans on putting out a search team for Hiraeth and bringing her back. I'm sorry friend, I didn't know she was special to you, or else I would have kept quiet" Xerxes says "It's fine, but keep an eye out." He helps me get up from my chair and says "We should leave, we will have a busy day tomorrow" He nods and all of a sudden we hear a some commotion downstairs. Xerxes holds me close and David says "Go through the back door quickly, I'll distract them" We run to the back door and then hide in the bushes. He says "We need to dodge them and get to the car, we will be fine from then on" I nod and we sneak to the car. We get in and he starts to drive. He says "We are going to wake up early tomorrow, we need to go to Florence Rome to meet a friend." My eyes widen and I smile and clap. "I've never been to Rome! How fun!" He says "We are going for business, not pleasure" I sigh and say "How boring" He laughs and caresses my cheek while driving. We soon arrive home and he get out of the car, we walk in the house and he says "Ok good night, get some sleep. Ok?" I nod and say "Goodnight" I go to my wing. Take a quick shower and brush my teeth. I change into my pyjamas and go to bed, only to be left tossing and turning for hours. I decide to do the most annoying thing on earth and wake up Xerxes. I walk to his bedroom and quietly knock on the door. I hear a quiet "Come in" I open the door to see a naked woman on top of him, straddling him. Once he sees me, he pushes her off and puts his hand out to me while saying "Come" I walk towards him as I say "I'm sorry to disturb you, I feel scared" He looks at the girl he just pushed off who is looking at him with sadness and love in her eyes. He says "Get out!" She gets her clothes and gives me a mean glare before she leaves. He says "Come sit" I look at his chest and say "Your naked" He smirks and looks at me with an intense look

He says with more authority "Come sit" I obey and he wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me under the covers so that I am laying near him. He, thank God, had put on an underwear. He wraps his arms around me in a protective manner and I suddenly feel him body give me the same feeling it always does but this time it's more intense, almost to the point when it becomes terrifying. He puts his chin on my arm and says quietly "Why are you scared?" I say "I feel a sort of presence in my room, it scares me" He says "Don't be scared, I'm here. I will protect you with my dying breath" I caress his arm and say "I know" He kisses my arm and looks at me with those beautiful eyes. I ask him "When do we need to wake up for our trip tomorrow?" He says "Whenever you wake up" I say "Yes but when should I wake up?" He says "Whenever you want to" He plays with my hair and I smile. He says "Get some rest" I nod and fall asleep in his arms.
