Fey Academy

Chapter 9

Hello

I've never been in love before and this chapter shows the romance side of the story. I'm apologizing now if it's to prince on white horse, fairy tale love, because that's what i dream my love to be like. Besides it's a fantasy book, who doesn't want a perfect prince.

“I’ll take care of this Courtney,” With that the blond girl who’s name I now know to be Courtney walks away. She clicks her heels on the floor and gives me a smile that shows she knows something I don’t. This isn’t true, I know that David is going to quote and quote persuade me to behave instead of Courtney. I’m still scared and pushed into the corner when he starts to speak again.

                “Are you ok? She didn’t hurt you did she?” He looks genuinely concerned for me. I stay in me corner. He can’t be trusted, none of them can. Shadows are moving with the time we stand staring at each other or at least it feels that way. I’m not really staring either but glaring. Should I run again? I’ve been running so much lately and all of it from him. “We need to talk, in private. Would you like to come to my room?”

                “I am not going into the room of a boy I just met and I don’t want to talk.” As I turn around then floor beneath me disappears, and I am lifted into a princess hold. “Put me down!!” He doesn’t answer me. We approach the winter dorm rooms, they are a lot more impressive then my own. My description would match those I’ve given for their circle, and class rooms. It’s amazing.

                I still have to get off of him. He’s not letting me go any time soon. I have to come up with a plan. Maybe if I make him think he has won, then strike that should work. I start to still my body, and his hands respond by loosening their grip. Count to ten, and then run. I push my hands against his chest, he moves back but doesn’t let me go so I end up kicking him in that spot. I run, and when I look back he is still doubled over. Yes, good job. Everything is going well for me until a tree decides to block my path. I run strait into it. Black spots are filling my vision and I pass out on the ground.

                Could I be any more of an idiot? Who passes out in front of the enemy? I do and now he is caring me with no problems to his room to do who knows what. No he wouldn’t do that. David isn’t that low. I’m still passed out in a sleep like state so I don’t know if I’m at his room or heading there.

                “Wake up.” A voice whispers into my ear. It’s ticklish and makes me smile. Mom use to do this to me on my birthday, a very happy memories followed by a cake and presents.

                “Five more minutes.” I mumble. I doubt what I just said is even illegible, but I don’t want to be taken from these happy memories.

                “No Lizz, get up now.” He sounds playful like Dad did. Just like Dad. Slowly I open my eyes to see Dad but he isn’t here instead its David sitting next to me smiling. I start to smile too. I like being woke up this way. Wait what am I doing this is the enemy. My smile is now a frown. This must be the work of his magical powers. Before I can say what I want he starts to talk. “You’ve figured out our existence, haven’t you? You have some questions you want to ask me.”

                It sounds like he is asking me questions but they aren’t. There to demanding. “The winter dorm, are all of you fey?”

                “Yes.”

                “Then what are the little pixie things?”

                He pauses at my question. “You can see them?” He is contemplation something. I take the opportunity to ask more.

                “Of course I can see them. There’re as plain as day. Now what are they?”

                “There fey too, just a different type of fey.”

                “There not under the Winter King like you though.”

                His head snapped up, “How did you know that,” It was a guess on my part but it turns out I was right.

                “I went into your section in the library.”

                “That must be how Courtney found out.” I knew someone was watching, it wasn’t paranoia. “They are the Lords fey. Do you know about that too?” I nodded my head yes. He got up to get me some tea to drink. His hand moved to reach the cup on the shelf. As he did his shirt pulled over his back. I could die happy right now. However if he took off his shirt all together… Stop Lizz, your being a pervert. He turns around when I start to blush. “Is something wrong?”

                “No, no, I’m alright. So, the Lords Fey huh, that’s interesting,” How awkward.

                “Yes, they appeared after he disappeared. They are supposedly his eyes. They show him the world from where he is sleeping, though not often.”

                “Wait but I’ve seen them tree times already?”

                “Hmm three times, that’s strange, however now that we have that out of the way, Miss Kiss, you know what I am. I want to know, do you accept me even though I’m not human?”

                “Well yes I do.” Does this mean he likes me to? David moves towards me. I’m about to faint with all this excitement, and he looks fine. Why do these things never seem to effect men, even in story’s. He grabs my hand and pulls me up so that I am standing. I’m almost positive that my entire face is bright red. “Let’s have our tea.”

                “David, I, I think I like you,” I close my eyes, scared of his answer. Is what I said to sudden? Maybe I miss heard his words. Oh God.

                “I do too. Lizz I’ve loved you since the moment I laid eyes on you.” He grabs me by the waist. “There’s some place I want to take you, a lake out in the forest.”

                “The lake…”

                “Yes the lake you fell into. Come let’s go.” He is smiling, I’m smiling, and we’re perfect together. The world seems so much brighter now. This is my spring, and I want to embrace it. I move into his body. It’s a perfect fit, his head fits right over mine. He knows the way there so this might be the first time here I haven’t gotten lost.
