King Death

Chapter 52

Drakes POV

I woke up and spoke to the girl next to me.

"Let me know where you are so I don't accidentally touch you" I said in a low whisper.

There was no answer so I reached my hand for only her hand but felt nobody next to me.

Just than I heard a small cough that came from the floor.

I gently stepped out of bed and felt her small body with my feet. She was laying on the ground next to the bed and by the sound of it she was still sleeping.

I sighed gently and reached down to gently pick her up.

I gently placed her on the bed and ever so slowly laid the blanket on top of her careful not to wake her up while I gently walked over to the door, opening it and than slowly closing it.

I walked back in the room with 2 cups of hot tea and a breakfast soup for both of us.

I sat on the floor and waited for her to wake up as I calmly meditated waiting for my tea to cool down.

I felt the steam from the tea rise into the air and I used my mind to make believe as if the steam rose straight up in a line.

"I'm not worthy of sleeping in a bed" she said in the lowest possible voice from over on the bed.

"Why not" I said plainly as I rose my cup to my mouth and gently blew on the dark brown liquid.

"Because I'm a whore, and whores don't deserve clean beds or nice men" she said in a shaky voice.

I set my tea down on the small plate In front of me and turned my body to where I assumed she was based on where her voice was coming from.

"So let me get this straight, you were raped for years and years, beaten, used, belittled and just straight up abused. And you feel as if that is something that is your fault? And it's so much your fault that you believe you are not worthy of love and kindness, not even comfort?"

She sat in silence and just sniffled her nose.

"I'll tell you what, I am going to be so nice to you, treat you so good, and make you feel so insanely loved and protected and comfortable, that you will eventually forget that you were ever even a slave" I said as I smiled my biggest and what I believed to be my friendliest smile.

"You don't have to do that for me" she said as I practically felt the vibrations of her tears running down her face and hitting the blankets of the bed.

"Please don't cry, I'm trying so hard to not make you cry" I said as i stood up listening for where she was in the room.

"H h how did you know I'm c c crying" she said in short shaky sobs.

"I may be blind but I have my senses and an almost 100 percent accurate intuition" I said followed by a short chuckle that made her giggle through her small cries.

I stretched out my arms, fully trusting that I wasn't going to flinch at her sudden touch if she accepts my offer for a hug. And before I knew it I held her tightly in my embrace.

Just than the door knob was heard and I felt Zero's presence enter the bedroom.

I heard the sound of his heavy boots and felt the strength of his soul. He stared at me waiting for mine and her embrace to end.

She soon let go and I felt her turn around. She jumped back in surprise of his presence.

"I'm sorry for spooking you darling" said Zero in a deep voice as I felt his eyes on me again.

"We are leaving, Loki sais there is a land that crosses our realms and the spirit realms. He wants to show me. It's just Loki and I that are going tho. And we will be back by morning" he said before he leaned in closer so he could speak low.

"Did you two have sex?" He asked as I felt the energy of his smile.

I shook my head "no, she had a nightmare last night, and I comforted her"

He patted me on the shoulder.
"That's good, you need a good friend" he went to turn around and leave the room but than stopped and once again I felt the energy from his eyes.

"And so does she" he finished as I no longer felt his energy near me.

I walked out into the living area where I heard Zero and Loki putting their boots on and Loki was brushing his hair. Zero I assumed just put his hair up in a bun and the rest of our men and women were sitting around the table eating with Moon.

"Thank you for comforting Atalie last night, that was very kind of you"

I shook my head and rose my tea up to my lips for a small sip.

"It's alright, really, I've needed a friend for a while anyways" I said before eating a piece of buttered toast that was resting on my plate next to my tea.

I felt her eyes resting on me.

"Why do you wear a blind fold?" She asked with curiosity.

I smiled and took another sip of my tea.

"I've always been blind, and it used to just protect my eyes from the sun and I'd take it off when alone. But I'm never alone anymore and my eyes are not what they used to look like. If I took my blind fold off it would scare people. And I don't want to be the one to scare people with the way that I look"
