"I can explain!" I plead holding my hands up in an attempt to reason with him.
"Sit down," he commands loudly.
I feel an unseen force pull me towards the floor; knocking my breath out of me. I glance at Levi, eyes widening fearfully as my body visibly shakes. He can command any wolf just like his father I register as he stares at me triumphantly; and that means bringing my wolf to the surface.
I begin using my hands to crawl backwards, trying to put as much distance between us as I can.
"Don't move," he commands angrily, probably from my lame attempt to escape. His wolf's eyes are present; making his movements seem more threatening as he stalks towards me.
I'm frozen in a cross-legged position. I try and will my body to move. How is this possible? I can't believe I'm being controlled.
"Eat everything on this tray and don't leave a single crumb off of it," he commands, proceeding to place the tray of food on my lap.
I gaze at him pleadingly, conveying to hear me out. Tears begin to pool in my eyes. I want to so badly explain to him why I can't eat the food, because if he doesn't stop this I'll surely be sick. However, he appears resolute in his decision, crossing his built arms against his chest and watching.
Before I can attempt to explain my hands begin moving of their own accord. They hurriedly grab the steak off the tray and forcefully shove it inside my mouth; making sure every piece is thoroughly chewed and swallowed.
I admit the food is delicious. I can taste the wonderful assortment of spices in the steak, giving it a delectable taste, but my stomach can't handle it. It churns painfully with every bite I take.
"I'm doing this because I care about you and if I have to do it for every meal then so be it." He continues to watch me somberly, no hint of sympathy passing through his eyes. He leans against the gold colored walls of the room waiting patiently.
Once more, I lift my head and stare at him pleadingly as I finish chewing the last bite of steak. I gaze at him sadly and already begin feeling sick as I move to eat the mashed potatoes on the side.
He meets my gaze but doesn't seem the least bit remorseful. He straightens his lavish black suit jacket and returns to gaze at me intently with those strikingly dark eyes.
I finally finish the what's left on the tray as I involuntarily stuff the last piece of broccoli inside my mouth. At that moment the command lifts and my limbs are back under control. I place my hands on my lower abdomen feeling sick.
"I'm sorry princess but you left me no choice. Your health is more important to me then anything," he says straightening himself upright.
I want to rebuke him for forcing me do that. It felt like I was being tortured from the inside of my body. Yet, I knew what I'd be doing the second the command lifts. With that fleeting thought I scramble off the floor and bolt towards the bathroom, catching Levi by surprise as I swiftly pass by his confused expression.
I grasp the toilet seat tightly and begin vomiting. My body shakes violently as I continue and even Levi's being near me, holding my hair out of my face doesn't make me feel better.
"What the hell? This isn't normal," I hear his distressed voice mutter as I dry-heave.
I lay against the toilet. I feel too weak to move. The heaviness of my limbs drag me down and my breathing becomes slow. I flutter my eyes shut from my exhaustion.
"Oh no you don't," I hear him say softly. He picks me up in a bridal like fashion and carries me towards the king sized bed.
He lays me down gingerly against the headboard and sits down adjacent to me. He grasps my hands tightly causing the familiar electricity to course through my body. But this time it only evokes feelings of betrayal, only making me pull my hands away.
Beads of sweat slowly fall down my face. My breathing becomes labored. I attempt to take deep breaths but it feels difficult, like trying to breathe underwater.
"Princess stay with me. The doctor is on his way." He grasps my face in his hands, attempting to keep my eyes focused on his.
"You wouldn't listen," I mutter sadly between breaths. I feel a single teardrop fall down my eye before I surrender to the darkness.
I am in a forest walking beside a lake. The last of the sun's rays are beginning to disappear, making the orange glow emitting from the sun look brighter. I smile as I watch the sun descend and look down towards the quiet lake.
I glance at my reflection taking notice of the torn silk white dress encasing my body and the puffiness surrounding my sad blue eyes.
Was I crying? I bend down closer towards the lake.
Involuntarily, a single tear falls from my eye and lands inside. I touch my face and let my hand linger on it as I ponder the reason for my sadness. I wipe my face and before I can question it further a white figure emerges from the lake.
"Pegasus," I cry in happiness and stand upright.
I smile excitedly as I attempt to run and hug my beautiful white horse.
Pegasus always had a knack for popping into my dreams whenever I needed someone to comfort me. He was always there for me when I was a child and continues to be there for me now.
The smile falls quickly from my face when I find I can't walk inside the lake; It's appears as if I'm being pushed away from it.
I shake my head perplexedly and once more attempt to push through the invisible force field.
"It won't let you pass." Pegasus's silver eyes watch me sadly.
"Why not? It always has before," I retort worriedly as I continue to try and barge my way through.
"It's been your protector your whole life and you seek to exterminate it." He stares into my eyes as if searching for something.
"It has only made me do terrible things and brought me nothing but misery. You and I both know that!" I attempt to plead my case, but when Pegasus shakes his head I can't help but feel as If I'm disappointing him.
"I've protected you since you were an infant. I have been given the honor to serve and protect you, but if you continue to neglect your power it will seek to harm you as well as the ones you love. Then, not even I can help you." He keeps his firm gaze locked on mine as my eyes widen at the prospect of my loved ones being hurt.
"How do I make this stop Pegasus? Please tell me! I don't want to hurt anyone anymore," I cry sadly.
A glow suddenly appears inside the lake. All the water comes rushing to my side and encircles my body. My eyes widen as more water begins to surround my form, preventing my movements and tightly encloses around my shaking form.
"Pegasus, help me!" I cry as the water flows upwards towards my body.
I bang against the ball of water, pleading for Pegasus to save me as I stare down fearfully at its quickly rising form.
"It's time to awaken, it's your time to fight," Pegasus says authoritatively.
I take a huge gulp of air before the water encases around my face, cutting off my air supply. The water paralyzes my body as I'm held inside the wet ball and brings me towards Pegasus.
His silver eyes glow and forms a sheer thread of light. The light passes through the ball of water and makes its way inside my body. It doesn't feel painful until it tugs something out from my body.
I cry out in pain and choke on the water swiftly entering my mouth. The thread of light continues to pull, tugging painfully at my heart as it pulls along with it a blue thread of light.
The blue thread of light begins to transform. I squint my eyes through the water, taking in its growing form.
It takes shape and transforms into a wolf. Wait a second, that's my wolf! My eyes widen in disbelief as I stare into her translucent eyes.
"Now this is going to be fun," I hear her say before losing consciousness.
