Kira of Alfhiem (Elfin Warrior Series Book 1) [Completed]

Losing Love

Three days later

Kira

I was coming home from another night of dark elves. I walked on my street and I shivered. I don't know why, but I know it wasn't because of the cold. I quickened my pace and my heartbeat sped with each step. I burst into a run. When I got to my place I stopped. There were a few lights on and the front door was open.

My breath hitched and my mind flew into panic mode. I ran inside and started searching for Amber and Janson. The house had been recked. Broken furniture was everywhere. I ignored the mess and searched frantically. Nobody was there.

Amber and Janson had been taken. I let out a scream without thinking. I walked out of the house in my elfin form. I didn't care who saw me. I was focused on finding Amber and Janson. This was the work of dark elves so I would talk to them. I will find out who took Amber and Janson away from me and they will suffer my wrath!

It was a promise.

Amber

I looked around my dark surroundings. I couldn't see anything and my stomach started to grow queasy. I felt like I was gonna puke from the fear. I tried to sit up, but there was a sharp pain in my side. I groaned and lied back down on the cold floor.

How did I get here? How am I supposed to get out? Where am I?

I couldn't come up with the answers. My brain was clouded.

Then I remembered. I remembered being at home with Janson. I had started to fall asleep when I heard a loud crash. The crash was followed by yelling. I scrambled out of my bed and went downstairs prepared to fight. I reach the bottom step and saw Janson fighting of dark elves.

He was outnumbered. There were five of them. Two where holding him down. Two others were blocking the exits and the last one was standing in front of him. The one standing in front of him was a woman with dark purple hair and black eyes with a hint of green.

She was asking him about a little dark elf child. That was when I reconized her. She was ny Aunt Sheegan. Seh was looking for me. Then she started asking him about a light elf warrior woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. I gasped as I realized that she was talking about Kira.

She turned around, saw me, ordered the others to take Janson somewhere, and walked over to me. Tears where falling down my eyes as I ran back up the stairs. She chased me and eventually caught me. She hauled me up over her shoulder and carried my back downstairs. I was screaming and kicking the whole time. She carried me out to the porch and set me down.

I tried to run, but she grabbed my arm and blew blue dust in my face. I recognized the blue dust from the night I met Kira and tried to hold my breath, but it was too late. I had already inhaled it. Everything started to spin and then it was black. Then I woke up here.

I am alone in the dark on a cold floor. How nice of my aunt. She never liked me that much so why did she come looking for me? Was she really looking for Kira. I know she loved my dad and would do anything to avenge his death. He was her brother after all.

I started crying. I don't want Kira to get hurt. I know it was her fault that my parents died, but I had forgiven her. I was starting to love her like she was my mother. She wasn't my mother, but it sort of felt like it. I was so confused. I love my mother, but Kira always seemed like a better mother. Why do I feel this way?!?!

Kira

I was walking down the street when I felt a cold creep down my spine. I shivered. It was a sign of dark elves. I walked over to a small one story house and found that a window was open. I climbed in and walked around. I sensed the dark elf and found a bedroom. I crept in and hid in the shadows. The dark elf was giving a couple nightmares.

I grabbed the pouch of blue powder. I grabbed a handful and tapped on the dark elf's shoulder. It was a man with dark blue hair braided down his back and dark brown eyes. I blew the powder in his face. It caught him off guard and he inhaled it. I caught him before he could hit the floor and heaved him over my shoulder.

I carried him out of the house and to mine. I set him down in a wooden chair from the dining tabled and tied him there. I cleaned up the house while I waited for him to wake up. When he finally did I dropped what I was doing and ran over to him. I looked him in his eyes.

He looked at me with a smile on his lips. "Hello beautiful. What can I do for you?" He asked me. "I need information." I said. He smiled wider. "Anything in particular?" He asked. I was getting irritated by how amusing he thought this was. I wanted to slap him and order him to tell me where Amber and Janson are, but he might not know anything.

I sighed. "Have you heard about any dark elves planning to kidnapping a dark elf girl or fighting a light elf?" I asked him. His eyes wore a confused expression. "I have heard of a dark elf woman by the name Sheegan talking about getting vengeance on a dark elf. What is your name?" I was thrown off by his question. "Kira. Why?" I asked.

I wasn't in the mood for his flirting, but I was hoping that he would tell me more if I answered his question. He smile wavered a little. "Kira...that was the name of the light elf she was going after. She said that she had killed her brother and his family." He replied.

I realized that it might be Amber's family that he was talking about. "Did her brother have a daughter named Amber?" I asked. He nodded. "She said that they never found Amber's body, but they assumed that she was dead." It was all starting to click into place.

"Where can I find this Sheegan?" I asked him. "Tsk. What does it matter to you? You're still alive." He said. "She took Janson and Amber!" I yelled. His smile wavered again at Janson's name. "Is this Janson your choosen?" He asked. Really! I smiled a polite smile. "Yes and you're gonna help me find him and Amber." I replied.

He grinned. "Everything comes at a cost and I will collect beautiful." He said. I was at a loss for words. Whatever he thought I was going to give him, he wasn't going to get. I went to my bedroom to start packing. I packed everything I had brought to Midgard. This dark elf and I were going to take a hike.
