Sugar And Ice

chapter 32

The white mist dissolves around us and my eyes start adjusting to the light again. I find myself in a great white hall with a white throne in the opposite wall. Everything is white, the floors, the walls, the ceiling, the curtains, even the tables and chairs around them. The sun coming through the giant windows from the left wall bringing life inside. No one is here only Petal and myself from what I can see so far.

"Welcome to my home." Petal says, her voice echoing around us. An evil that is slowly wrapping around me trying to break in. I feel it everywhere and push it back the same way it's pushing toward me. Her white heels click as she walks toward her throne. Stepping up and sitting down an evil smirk spread across her face. Leaning back, arms on each arm rest and her right leg across the other.

I've had enough of this, she dosen't realize or knows exactly what I can do so I'll play her games. Once I have Ivy and Elvira within my grasp, I will take us away as one of my plans.

Keeping my eyes on her not breaking away as she takes me in. Her smirk slowly dissolving as I stare her down.

"You've grown some claws i see." Tapping at her chin assessing me. She starts to play with her nails as if I'm a waste of her time right now. Anger starts to flow and I can see it slipping through, breathing in deep retracting back in.

"Elvira thought I would not put the pieces together, always begging for more time she said. Time you needed to assemble your powers. To learn and know how to use them. But one of my spies heard of a young women, killing a whole army, vampire army without lifting a finger. White light shining from her as she made everything trimble in her wake and a scream that made everyone and everything come to their knees and cause pain."

Spies? Always someone trying to find their way to the top.

"So I knew who it was, as we're the only ones capable of such things. Well..." rolling her eyes at me. "At least one of us." If her eyes could kill, I would be dead instantly at this very moment. The daggers she is sending me i can almost feel them. "Unfortunately for us, we didn't get those powers as you have."

"What happened to my father?" My voice comes out even and in control. I've had a feeling for while as to what might have had happened and after seeing Elvira her mangled body, it confirmed it. A sob tries to escape from me but I press it down. With no doubt in my heart, the one memory my mother hadn't shared with me. Maybe she dosen't know who did it but I know, i feel she was there with him on his last moments.

"Your father was weak just like you are. After thousands of years being the way we are, he found his mate and choice her over us, his family." She spits. The anger she radiates as she speaks of him is horrendous. But it's no anger compared to what I feel at this very moment. Buying my time, time i need to save Elvira and Ivy as my light is searching for them. Haven't told anyone but I can locate people and even items not sure how but on one occasion I was looking for Dimitri and freaked out when I wasn't able to find him. I can mentally see it, my light going through as if I'm looking through a TV. I've been practicing by myself not even Dimitri knows. Glad I didn't tell anyone or this might have gone differently.

"So you killed him?" I whisper evilly.

She grins, this evil bitch grins as if she's proud of what she did and has done thus far. "Yes, yes I did. I don't need weakness around me." Waving her hand as if she's pushing it away.

"How did you find Dimitris businesses?"

"Ahh yes, that took awhile but with the right tools and people I found them. Well....only a few." Frowning as she failed from locating all of them. "I had to get your attention and I meant it. But now that you're here I'll keep my word, as long as you're by my side... "
