The Queen of Power

Chapter 5 - First Signs Spotted

Pearl's POV

I woke up the next day, groaning to myself. I looked around, seeing that I was still in the Queen's bedroom. "Good morning, Pearly." I heard her say, before I looked at her next to me. I studied her for a couple of seconds, "Don't tell me you watched me sleep." I told her, "We are mates, Pearly. Get used to it." she said. I ignored the fact that she was almost flirting with me because of the name calling, before I sat up and got up from the bed. I haven't seen her have shiny skin yet, so maybe it wasn't coming just yet. But why was she calling me 'Pearly'?

I walked over to the bathroom, wanting to have a shower. I was annoyed that it was a walk in shower because a certain someone would join me. "Can we have a bath together? You know, to save the water?" she asked me. "Save the water?" I replied with a small laugh, turning around to see that her skin was glossy. What the fuck? She wasn't like that a couple of minutes ago...and what was with her being flirty all of a sudden? 

"You know what, I'll wait for my turn. You go ahead." she told me, changing her mind as she realised that she was making me uncomfortable. "Can you close the door then?" I asked her, before she nodded and grabbed the door handle, pulling the door towards her until it closed. I then let out a small sigh of relief, turning around and went to have my shower. A couple of minutes later, I wrapped a towel around myself, then opened the bathroom door to see the Queen sitting on the edge of the bed, facing me. It looked like she had glitter all over her, because of her sweat. "The shower's free now." I said, before I watched her gracefully get up. 

I walked out of the bathroom to let her go through, and once she did, I closed the door to give her privacy. While she was having a much needed shower, I went back to my own bedroom to get my normal dress. It was navy and long, which was perfect for some reason. I took off my towel and put the dress over my head, then slipped it on. I didn't want to spent too much time on myself as I was with the Queen now. I returned to her bedroom and saw her curled up in a ball, on the bed wearing a unfamiliar red robe. "Fuck...make it stop..." she groaned, curling herself up even more. "What do you need me to do?" I asked her, wanting to help immediately out of instinct. "Stay here with me. Please. I'm begging you..." she replied. Was she like this because I left the room for a short amount of time?

I didn't say another word, I just went over and sat down next to her curled up form. She also had her hands covering her eyes, which could mean that she was having a massive headache and the light was not exactly helping her. So, I got up again and turned off the main light, then headed over to the bathroom and closed the door. The black curtains were already across, so all I have to do now, is to be with her and make sure that she was going to be okay. "Dahlia." I heard her say a name.

"Huh?" 

"Call me Dahlia." she repeated herself. That's a gorgeous name for someone like her. "Okay, Dahlia." I said, before the room fell into silence.
