SMUT BEWARE!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Cassandra and I left the bowels of the castle, she slapped my back good-naturedly and pointed in the direction of the stairs. She left after that, but I knew what she wanted me to do. We had just talked about it when we were walking up the stairs.

Talk to Alcina.

I have to talk to her.

Looking around the main hall, I don't see anyone so with one last sigh I make my way toward the stairs that head for Alcina's chambers with an anxious heart.

I take the steps slowly.

One at a time.

I feel the wood railing under my palm as it slides underneath my hand as I ascend the stairs. My nose follows the trail of the perfume I know so well. I follow knowing that the conversation we will be having is a tough one, but I still follow.

I'm angry at Alcina.

So fucking angry, but I don't I would know what to do if this went on and on and on...

My feelings for Alcina Dimitrescu, the Lady of this castle, has grown to heights I never thought possible. It was why I felt so crushed and why her words affected me so much. If that maid bitch called me a whore I wouldn't have even reacted, but Alcina calling me the same name he used to?

It was soul-crushing...

When I finally reached Alcina's chambers, my stalling not taking up enough time, I stood in front of the door and felt my heart beating out of my chest. So many emotions were swirling through my body that it left me frozen and rooted to the spot I was standing at.

I swallowed roughly and lifted a shaking hand up to the door.

My knuckles wrapped on the wood lightly, but no answer came from behind the door.

Disappointment welled within my chest and just as I was about to leave...

Alcina's voice ringed in my ears.

"Come in." Alcina said softly, my ears straining to hear the words.

Breathing in and exhaling out roughly, my hand gripped the doorknob, I turned it, and opened the door. I walked into Alcina's chamber, memory flashing in my mind of the last time I was here, but I steadily walked in and stopped in the middle of the room. Alcina was at her writing desk like she usually was and the silence was palpable. I could only hear the scratching of her pen on the paper, but I waited for her to finish.

When the pen finally clattered down onto the desk, Alcina spoke.

"I think... I think we need to have a discussion." Alcina said, voice soft, but full of emotion.

"I agree." I replied shortly.

Alcina then stood up from her desk and faced me. The way she looked at me like she was gazing at something she could never have made me mentally stagger. It was a look filled with emotion and it made me choke up. Those beautiful honeyed amber eyes were filled with sadness and I looked away when it became too much for me to handle.

"Shall we?" Alcina offered as she waved to her door.

I didn't know where we were going, but I assumed Alcina wanted us to both be comfortable, so I nodded my head and she started to walk for her door.
