17: my life back

Hortensia

"Blaze," I whisper lightly. The clock shows that it's thirty minutes past eleven at night. We have been lying in bed for more than four hours. I don't know when he fell asleep. I have never seen him this deep in sleep. He usually wakes up when I wake up. He can detect the change in my breathing. But he isn't budging now.

I don't know why this foreign thing that I am doing with Blaze is making me second guess everything.

What if instead of killing Blaze, I could have him on my side? What if one of the council members helps in the rebellion? We would have a 100 percent chance of winning then.

What am I thinking? I'm getting ahead of myself. Liking someone doesn't mean that he will give over whatever he has built in all that years in a heartbeat. His position, reputation everything will be in danger if he decides to side with me.

My eyes see the hands of the clock passing every minute mark in a hurry. When I want the time to slow down, it runs away from me.

He stirs a little when I tap his shoulder lightly. His head is on my chest and his large body is curled around me. I feel like I have a big baby in my arms.

" Blaze, get up!" I speak a little louder. His body tenses up for a moment and he lifts his head.
His hair is a mess, falling in front of his closed eyes.
" What?" He mumbles.

I stare at him in disbelief. " You need to get up."

He puts his head back on my chest," I'm awake."

I grab his face with my hands and lift his heavy skull up. " You need to open those eyes."

He nods with his eyes still close.

" Stop nodding and untangle your limbs from mine or," I warn him.

He lifts his head and opens one red eye. " Or what?" He grins.

I whisper, "Or I'll freeze your limbs."
Ice begins to get ready beneath my skin and as soon as he senses the coldness radiating from me, he makes a distance between us.

I get up and sit on the bed. He is still lying face down with his arms sprawled to my side.
I shake my head. I never thought that I would ever see him like this. Who could've thought that Blaze King was a cuddly puppy?

I look at the wall clock. It's 11:40 p.m. Exactly at 11:57, the guards rotate. So my group will have exactly four minutes until new guards appear at 12:01. The group consists of Misha a manipulator, David an earth element creator, Amanda a witch, and Sam a telekenisor. These people are those that mostly carry out missions.

And then there is me, Hortensia an ice creator with powers of tapping into other elements.

They have the duty of Zima and I have Blaze.

The plan is simple, they'll enter her chambers with the help of an invisibility spell, a simple but powerful spell and we can only do it on the night of the 14th. Our only chance. And then Misha will manipulate every guard and maid away from the room. Sam will enter the room first and hold her down by his powers. David will form a stake, we needed him to make one on the spot because stakes are illegal and we can't have them stored so he will use his powers and create the wooden stake right then and there. Sam will snap her neck and David will drive the stake inside her heart. And she's dead. Simple.
