Chapter Tres

The prophecy

Pt 1

Night fell over Teca and the stars seemed to hide. Y/n had tucked herself away in the darkness of her room. Her balcony was opened and the curtain swayed in the moonlight.

Y/n curled herself into a ball and kept her head in her knees. She felt alien as she stared down at her hands which were covered in golden tears. They continued to pour out of her eyes as she struggled to contain her sobbing.

So much of Y/n's life now made sense. Why she was faster, why she was stronger, why she was.... Different. As she lifted her head she took in the havoc she inflicted upon her bedroom. Her desks, tables, chair, vanity, and objects all around her room were carelessly thrown around.

In her anger she'd destroyed her bedroom. A soft sniffle escaped her nose and she push her shaky legs to move. She went over to her side couch and lipped it over with a scream. The wood collided with the wall as a bat flew into the room.

"Y/n...." Zatz muttered turning back into his human form. A chair went flying for his head and he dropped to the ground. When he looked up his eyes met hers he winced away. Her eyes glowed in the darkness, so bright and fierce.

Her tears covered her face as she continued to throw any object she could find. Zatz switched between his bag and human form as he dodged. He yelled for her to stop but objects, broken or not went towards his head.

"Please! Stop! I just want to talk!" Zatz yelled as he dodged a book.

Y/n froze as she sniffled. She dropped the comb from her iron grip. Silence enveloped the room as a soft breezed flowed through.

"You don't get to just talk! You..... you have betrayed me."

Zatz fumbled as he watched Y/n drop to the ground. She landed against her bed as Zatz slowly knelt in front of her.

"I never meant for any of this..." Zatz attempted to convince Y/n. Y/n stared at him with such fury, such hatred that Zatz could not help but shy back. Her anger was understandable. He had lied. He had lied for so long about so many things. She never wanted to ask him about his family, nor why he was truly in the woods that day.

She really accepted him, loved him, and he had betrayed her in the worst way.

"Do you think you are entitled to me now?" She snapped the irritation in her tone evident. Zatz could not surge with her in such a frantic state, she wasn't thinking clearly. The fear of the pain that I was in booked in her soul by his very words was overcoming her.

"I love you." Zatz said reach for Y/n's face to hold. Her head jerked away slightly, the fear in her golden irises plain to see.

"I can't say that back to you, not when.." Y/n's voice quivered. "Not when I'm not even sure if you mean that."

Zatz stared at her, slowly inching her way to her. He brought his lips to her forehead, placing the slow and gentle kiss. He would allow himself this, he would allow her this. Zatz wasn't sure how he could win her love back, but he needed to for his own sake.

"Good night mi princesa." With his words softly spoken he turned into a bat and was gone. Leaving her in her own misery and despair her heart ached for her lost love. Or what she thought was her lost love.

As the sky rose over Teca, their armies, gathered chanting over and over.

"Teca! Teca! Protect Princess Y/n and Maya! Teca! Destroy Divine Gate! Teca! Save Kingdom of Teca!"
