Myths And Legends

Chapter 8- Shocking words

Bella's POV:

Jack just finished telling us the story of when him and the boys first came to Mythia and who the Dark Cyclops is but a lady with long light brown hair and mossy green eyes came in and told everyone to leave.

Jack kissed my forehead and told me to get some rest. I got comfortable in the bed and closed my eyes but Jack pulled a blanket over my shoulders and I swear I blushed a bit.
      
After Jack left, I must of fallen asleep since I woke up to the early morning sun shining in my face and the smell of caramel and honey in the air with a hit of chocolate.

I slowly flutter my eyes open and sit up on the bed and look around. I spot a silver try on the side table to my right with a plate of pancakes with honey and a scoop of light blue, purple and yellow ice-cream and a glass of brown liquid.
     
I lift the try onto my lap and take the spoon in my hand and try the ice-cream. The cold ice-cream melt in my mouth and runs down my throat leaving a trail of grape, lemon and blueberry flavours in my mouth.

I grab my fork and try the pancakes, their caramel flavoured.
     
The soft fluffiness of the pancakes and the smooth velvety honey roll down my throat, taking the left over flavour of the ice-cream with it.

I start devouring the food, a small scoop of ice-cream with a piece of pancake with a bit on honey on it in every bite. Soon, there's only some melted ice-cream and some honey mixed in it left on the plate.
      
I place the try back where I found it and take the glass of warm brown liquid in my hands. The warmth of the liquid in the glass warm my hands up.

I take a woof of the beautiful smell and find out that it's hot chocolate. I bring the glass to my rose red lips and take a long sip.

The warm chocolaty liquid runs down my throat riding the left over taste of my breakfast and leaving a rich chocolate flavour in its place.

I should get hurt more often if this is how they treat their patients.
      
I sit up and lean against my fluffy pillows with the glass cupped in my hands and think about what I was told yesterday.

Jack, Mike, Buck and Zane weren't always a mythical creature, they came here through the same sort of portal we did. They went through a trial and all died but was resurrected and became the mythical creatures they are now.

They fought against the Dark Cyclops but he escaped his imprisonment that someone could of done.
      
Will me and the girls go through the trial and become a mythical creature?

How many mythical creatures are in the Dark Cyclops's army?

Are their dragons in this world? Are there wizards? Unicorns? Fairy's? Elves? Giant sea monsters? The Kraken? Pirates?

I want to explore this land and learn about the magic here, but I can't.

Not yet.

Since theirs a crazy cyclops on the lose.
      
I wonder why that driver wanted me dead?

Holy shit!

I just remembered! The bus driver wanted me dead, he was trying to kill me.

My eyes go wide as shock and fear consume my body and my blood starts to boil.

I cover my face with my hands as tears start forming in my eyes. I bend my knees to my chest and make myself a tight ball.
      
I don't want to die.

Why does he want me to die?

I want to go home. I miss my family.

Just then, a pair of cold arms wraps around me and pulls me close to a cold chest.

Without hesitation, I wrap my arms around the person and berry my face in his shirt. I smell his shirt and relies that it's Jack.
      
"Your safe" he says as he pats my head with his cold hand that surprisingly calms me a bit.
     
"Why?" I ask through my tears.

"What is it?" He asks me in a calm and worried voice as he leans against the pillow bringing my body onto his with my arms around his torso.

He runs his fingers through my light brown hair that starts to calm my racing heart.
     
"The driver...w-why did the driver try to k-kill me?" I stutter out as a new wave of tears run down my cheek and get socked up by his shirt.
     
Jack sighs, "I-I am not sure" he replies with a bit of guilt and worry in his voice.

I take some deep breaths then turn my head to the side and look out of the room.
    
"You know" I say in a quiet voice but he seems to have advanced hearing.

"Yes" he replies in a whisper so that only I could hear it.
    
"Please tell me" I say to him as I turn to look up at his beautiful face and in his golden eyes.

He looks down at me and I can see a tear start to form in his eye.

"Please" I beg, "I deserve to know, I t-trust you"
    
"Theirs no easy way of putting it" he says in the bravest voice he could pull as a single tear runs down his cheeks and onto my cheek.
    
"Tell me why he wanted to k-kill me" I reply as I sit up a bit and place my head on his shoulder and close my eyes.
    
"You are the one that will kill the Dark Cyclops" he says pulling me closer on the last words.
    
"WhAt?!"
