Silent Memory(Book 1 of Forgotten Series)

Chapter 11

All eyes were on me, the looks from the blue-eyed people insulted me. Clearly, they deemed me weak and powerless. Is it because I'm a woman or something? Ill change that look on your face you asses. Since you're mind readers, I hope you heard that. Trust me it was all meant for you.

I smiled as some gave me a hard look.

Ha-ha. You heard me call you assholes. I'm Glad.

"No, I am." Lemont said stumbling beside me.

I lifted my chin high. I had the trump card, and I knew it.

"Stand beside me." All the animals injured and unscathed stood around me, ready to attack. I watched the great big group of psychos for their and most of all his reaction. "Wind, Water, Fire and earth. I call to you." Water waved around me fire flickered on my fingertip a flower twined up my leg and wind made everyone's hair blow. They all watched me.

I knew that doing all this at once was dangerous for me. I could tell by the way my knees threatened to give in. I felt my nose about to leak but I held it back as much as I could.

Their expression changed as they witnessed my power. I toned it down slowly letting it evaporate. I blinked hard but kept standing straight. My heart burning could only mean my body needed a long rest. I can't rest right now. I'm fine. Stay strong. Breath.

" I accept you as the leader." Kory said his voice seeming distracted. "This changes things." He looked past me his hand under his chin as he thought something over. He let his eyes fall on me." You will give yourself to me. You will become my bride."

"Prince Kory!"

"Outrageous!"

"Imagine!" He said over the disapproval behind him, only, I saw Drakes eyes water and one tear fall. He turned his back to us his head to the sky.

They are very serious about this. Drake...Damyan...Both...Cry easily?

That is not important.

Kory briefly looked behind him to see Drake a strange flicker of emotion showed on his face. It was as if he were in pain. It went away when his eyes lifted back to mine and again he was calm."Imagine the power we would have over them all, being in control of a Guardian itself."

Everything quieted. "Will you give yourself to me?"

I looked the vile beast that had the nerve to ask me that in the eye.

He looked right back at me not seeming to understand how much hatred I felt for him.

"If not, I will simply kill them all now. Of course I'll save you for last."

I gasped at that. He is nothing! Absolute trash! The prince of the Royal Family, the evil bastards that kill to bring order. They're nothing but cowardly murderers!

"Ti." Lemont held my hand. "I was going to give this to you later, I guess things have changed for the worst. Here. "He put something in my pocket and pulled me into his arms. I was crushed against his body. "You're gonna be okay alright. I...I'll miss you."

I tried to pull back."I didn't agree!"

He released me and smiled sadly at me. "But you will. Even though this is literally worse than death for you. You'll protect who you can sadly and not be protected."

I looked at my friends then at it. "I have three requests."

Kory's eyes narrowed. "Go on."

"First, I want to heal everyone I can." He winced when I said heal. " Second, I want you to promise that if I do this you won't hurt them ever again. Third, I want to be able to see them, make sure you've kept your promise to me, as a long as I've kept mine."
