Break my chains

Chapter 18

    I hear a knock on my door by morning. When I open it, it is Poltian with a warm grin. "You were right. We won.", he says calmly. I try to force a smile. He comes and holds me tightly. I am a little happy. But the truth is. We didnt win. Pane is dead, Cammy is gone, family is damaged, Jayce is mad and I doubt he'll stop until he has me. Now grt ready for breakfast, we have fixing up to do. I nod.

      I brush my hair slowly. Poltian reaction yesterday with my hair and tattoo was suprising. Also to my family. But they didnt mind. I wear black again with eyeliner. I leave my lips plain. I walk slowly to the dinning room. My face expressionless. I take my usual seat and quietly eat my breakfast as I try to make out the whispers. I hear my name a few times but stay seated and quiet. Finally the time goes by and I am free to go.

    Poltian takes me to the control room and shows the damage and what needs to be done. Then Jayce sends another message. "I will not give up until I have you Hele. If its the last thing I do.", he seems a little shaky and his face hard and twited. I shrug it off and just wait what he foes next so I can win and live through it. After lunch, I decide to go to the music room. This time I have an android as a guard. I walk in the room and the android stays at the door. I strum the guitar gor a little remembering how he questioned me about it. Then I went to the piano, where we stayed the longest. It hurt to remember him but at the same time made me feel better about those happy days. A tear rolls down my eye and my band hides my eye. How can I be so selfish and leave him but then greive all the time for him. But I know he's not coming back. Ever.

    I go to my bed room late. I face the door and take one last look back, just to see if he's there. Who am I kidding? It is probably a habit now.

      I hear someone baging on my door. Its barely five yet. I put on a robe to cover myself and its Poltian. "My queen, sorry to disturb you. But theres a ship aproaching from the war ruins. Hop in some clothes.", he says urgently. Siddenly I wake up and do exactly what he says. I junp in jeans and a t-shirt and brush my teeth. I wonder what strangers are coming now. Poltian aalks on his regular running pace but now I can keep up with him. We walk into the ship repairs and wait at the entrance. We stand for a while and I'm starting to lose hope when a ship comes tumbling in. It powers off and the door lazily opens. A man and woman but the lastly, he comes out and my I stop breathing. I stay there motionless.

      As he walks out and a smile lifts on his face. I run and hug him tightly. He takes a step back by myforce but hugs me as well. "I missed you beautiful.", he says into my ear. I laugh and cry with joy. I lift my head and lift my lips to his. I hear footsteps behind and gasps, but I dont care. I keep him close but feel a sudden tapvon my shoulder and pull away. I lick my lips and smile. Not wanting to keep my eyes from his. He's my Pane.

    My dad clears his throat. "And this is?", he raises his eyebrows. "Pane.", I reply. Then the first question that comes to his mind. "How old are you?", he puts a finger up at me indicating I cant talk. I roll my eyes at him. "I'm nine-teen, sir.", he says bravely. "Yes. I have a successful family. Good grades, best guard, and I love your daughter.", my eyes widen by his words and how casually he says them. My dad seems to nod and leave us in peace. Sarah and Christine clap hands and junp up and down. Mom tries to clear her eyes with tears. I pinch my self to know its not a dream. It sure enough isn't.

     We lay across my bed as he analyzes my tattoos. "You didnt need to do that.", he says and lowers his lips to my neck. "Do what?",  I ask. "Get a tattoo for me and cut your hair and greive so much. It isn't necessary. I mean your eyes are swollen whivh tells me you have been crying instead of sleeping.", he says against my neck. "Thats because I love you.", I eye the cup of water and it immediately floats up and comes towards me. This is the desire of having powers. I stop it on top of his back a nd pour a good amount to make him jump and fall off the bed. "Seriously.", he says and looks at me with wild eyes. I laugh at seeing him being taken for a fool and finally get to have him back.
