Discovering Truth

Chapter 6

The next morning i had a servant serve me breakfast in bed. I didn't feel like getting up just yet. I still had alot to think about. Plus, i might end up running into damien and i don't want to deal with that so early in the morning.

When I finished breakfast, I got dressed. I wore a blue thank top and white skinny jeans. I even wore a small little anklet. My hair was still braided from last night. I decided to keep it that way. I quietly snuck out of my room and made my way to the kitchen. On my way, I saw trouble coming. And by trouble, I mean Damien. He came towards me and stood right in front of me, blocking my path.

"Damien, I don't want to talk right now."

"Then don't. Just listen." Deja vu much. He took a deep breath and then spoke.

"Last night was amazing, but I owe you more to what that kiss meant." I looked at him and saw he was being sincere.

"You have two minutes." I opened a door and we were in my room again. This time, I meant to come here. I stood in front of him and folded my arms.

"Have I ever told you that your cute when your mad." He said.

"Flattery gets you no where. Talk, NOW."

"Years ago, before I went with you to the mortal world, I went to see the oracle. I asked her to predict the future for me. She told me that I would fall in love and become your lover. I didn't believe her. I chose not too. But, when your parents told me I had to be your guardian, I knew it was gonna happen. No matter how hard I tried, I ended up falling for you. More and more each year. I started to fall for you when you were eight. I kept it a secret though. Especially since I'm three centuries older than you. I made myself around the same age as you so I can keep the promise to your parents." All I could do was listen. I couldn't help but listen. I wanted an explanation and now I'm getting it.

"So why now? Why you telling me this now?" I said.

"On your birthday, I felt we were connecting in some way. Like you were falling for me too. Then I remembered you had come of age and it was time. And when I showed you this place, it felt natural." He came closer and took my hand. Then he put it to his chest. I felt his heart beat and it reminded me of my birthday.

"I am madly in love with you Emma, and I will always be here for you. That will never change." I felt kinda touched. He was being very serious. I leaned into him and kissed him. He looked at me with shock in his eyes when I pulled away.

"Did you know I had a crush on you in eight grade for like four months." He smiled at me and chuckled.

"When were you gonna tell me this?"

"Uh, never. It was a small crush and I thought it disappeared but after last night, it seemed like it didn't." He smiled at me and pulled me closer to him laughing.

"We'll I'm glad." Then he kissed me again. I actually felt happy and a little relieved.

A little later I spent the rest of the day with my mom. She gave me a couple of magic lessons. I learned how to teleport and I learned how to move objects across the room. I even learned to read minds. I heard my mom think about how much progress I'm making and how she is very proud of me.

Later when I was in my room. I heard a knock on my balcony door. I went over to the door and peeked. It was ash. What was he doing here? I unlocked the door and he came in.

"Hello princess." He said.

"What are you doing here."

"I wanted to talk to you. May I come in?" I gestured for him to come in.

"You have a very nice room."

"Thank you."

"I wanted to say this last night but you seemed distracted. I didn't want to bother you"

"It's fine. I'm fine. It was just a huge night."

"Understandable. Anyway, I came because..." But before he could finish, he got a stern look on his face. I turned around and saw Damien standing by my door. He had the same look on his face from last night. He looked at him with a glare. He looked angry, as if he wanted to kill him.

"What's going on?" I said. Damien came over to me and pulled me close to him.

"What are you doing here?" He said.

"Relax Damien. I came to talk to her."

"No. Get out!" Ash was very cooperative. He went back out the way he came and Damien went to lock the door. I'm now curious on what just happened.
