The Perfect Sin

chapter 9

What is this feeling taking over?Love,lust,infatuation...all three feelings move me. I breathe out in exasperation before glancing at that blue eyed devil. That man kept me up all night, teaching,coaxing,prodding,encouraging with every stroke, thrust, and kiss. 

Is this the ever needing love that I have desired or is it deceipt in disguise of love?Has the blue eyed devil finally relinquished his true love to me? Only time will heal this empty void inside of me. Aleksey shifts slightly causing me to jump.  That battle ground  caused me to have meaningless dreams about souless bodies and haunting faces. 

"Why is your face so pale,love?" I motion for Aleksey to come closer. I embrace the heat his body provides. 

"Aleksey, there are many things I must tell to you; will you take heed to my words. For if you do not-"  

"Hm, I know. For your word is law." 

"Yes, yes, but that is not what I was going to say. You must take heed for if you do not, chaos will reign through our Kingdom. Messenger birds have been sent to the other Kingdoms for now is our time to advance in this world. Also I must travel to my former home so that peace and harmony can be restored to our lives. It will be as it once was...long before Vasily took over the Kingdom." 

"While you are away, I will keep an eye on the throne for you,yes?" 

"I would be damned before I let you control my Kindgom; My Lieutenant is going to stay behind in my place." 

I rise from the bed before Aleksey could have the chance to drag me back into the depths of his love making. I am aware of  his steel blue orbits following my every movement; I need to leave immediately. There can be no further delay for my impending journey. 

I hesitate before closing the door; I close the door on my emotions too. No man will stop me from accomplishing my dream.  

Faintly, I hear Aleksey whisper through the closed door. "And I can not stand to picture you not here next to me. Show me where this madness ends or who you really are. Show me the monster of your dark despair." 

I stifle a chuckle before responding."Well, love...you can get to hell all by yourself." 

PART 2  

Dvorjack steps off the raised platform before glancing sideways. His every step is  precise,almost as if he is afraid of the impending future. 

"House Slave, get up from your nonsense. Your Queen approaches. Make haste and clean up a bit. You disgrace her majesty's uniform." 

There is a slight knock on the door before the Queen enters. She takes in all her surroundings before giving the two of us a look over. 

"Onward with the plan,Lieuenant." 

"Yes, my Queen." 

"I am off to my former home. Aleksey wil be watched over and you will not make any decisions that I would not approve of. That means the King can not be poisoned or accidently murdered in his sleep. We still need him alive." 

"Yes, my Queen." 

The Queen gathers her skirts before nodding to me. The door opens to reveal three beautiful women. They close the door for the Queen; I look over to the shocked DVorjack. I break the silence with my curious words. 

"Who are those women?" 

DVorjack stiffens visibly before responding. His manner all too formal for my liking. 

"Those are the ladies of the Shade. Make sure you never cross them until you finsih my training." 

"Ladies...of the Shade? They are only mere women...right DVorjack?" 

His unnatural laughter fills the air causing nearby birds to disperse and my spine to shiver in anticipation. The things this man does to me are unenxpalainable yet I desire his presence.

"Mere women, he says!? My boy, the Queen...You think the Queen would have mere women at her side!? I am not even a mere man and neither are you or the Queen as a matter of facts." 

"DVorjack, I am at lost of what we discuss. Who are those women? What are we?" 

"House slave, let me tell you this; maybe this will clear up the space in your mind."My home is not of this world. My countries stories are not documented here,but in the Grande Library." 

"Are...are you trying to say...that you and I are not human?" 

"Did you not think my eyes and hair unnatural? Look at yourself...Now that I have awakened your innner self you resemble not a human any longer." 

I race toward the door in order to leave that confusion filled room. The memories flood my mind; The birth  of my brethern to the birth of past Queens. My home country is not of this world. The former Queen who flooded with her tears to the Creator's three children. Everything rushes back as I fall to the ground, shuddering in fear. I close my eyes,but history intrudes nevertheless. 

I hear DVorjack walk toward my fallen body. Maybe he decides that I am unworthy of being his tool, maybe he never did love me. 

"Do you remember now...Caput?" 

I manage to croak out an answer,but only gurgles fill the space between us. 

"Don't worry", he whisperes as he strokes my hair. "The memories will come back and you will also gain your former abilities. You must get well soon or the plan will be delayed."

I nod in agreement eventhough I do not fully understand what plan he  is discussing.

"DVorjack?" 

"Hmm?" 

"Is your plan the same one as the Queen?" 

"We have the same plan. The plan is to reunite the Kingdom with her majesty ruling solely." 

"Can we not just kill the King?" 

"Her majesty has some kind of problem with us murdering Aleksey. Honestly I think, it has something to do with her loving him or maybe desiring love from him." 

That feeling is back again. My eyes flicker and blacken the harder I try to remember the blocked memories at a slower pace. I feel safe as  DVorjack scoops me up. His arms are comforting...for a monster. 

"Where are we heading too,DVorjack?" 

"To the healer's wing. You need to get a salve for your mind."  

Then I remember what I am supposed to..my purpose for coming here and it makes me feel worse. I have to go up north since they are waiting for me.
