Forever A Flower

A Battle it Maybe!!

  As we left and head towards the stairs we were met by Junsu. "Did we make a friend Aries?" he asked. "Yes we did and I named him too. His name is Kai and it means Fire." I said. "Well that is a great name he is yours to keep take him anywhere you like. I know he will protect you." Said Junsu. "Thank you Lord Junsu." I said. "Well now off with you we all must get ready for dinner." He said. "Rae she can go on her own Luna is waiting on her." Said Junsu. I parted ways with them and headed up to my room where Luna was helping the ladies set up the vases of the blue flowers. "They look beautiful in here making it look brighter." I said. "My lady if Lord Junsu sees these in here he is going to be mad." Said Luna with a look of panic. "It will be fine I can deal with him." I said setting Kai on the bed. She looked at Kai then back to me. "Lord Junsu gave him to me." I said. Her eyes got big. "I'll go start your bath" she said running off. "What is wrong with that girl?" I asked. "Not sure my lady but you enjoy them." They said leaving. I headed into the bathroom with Kai fallowing. He sat on the fur rug in there by the counter. I slipped out my clothes and into the tub. As I relaxed and Luna washed me I felt a soft paw touch my nose. Luna let a soft laugh out. I opened my eyes to see Kai sitting on the side of the tub putting his paw on my face as Luna washed my legs. "What are you doing little man?" I said. He let out a tiny yelp of something then rolled over on the floor putting his paws in my hair that laid over the side of the tub. "I'm bathing I can't play." I said flicking water at him. He jumped up and ran over to the rug again but in play mode. Soon I was done bathing and we went back into my room where a dress was waiting on me. "Lord Junsu must have sent it up its very pretty." Said Luna. I set Kai on the bed again and Luna helped me in the dress. It was a heart shaped corset top that was black with diamonds across the mid-section that flared into a light aqua blue. "We should leave my hair down" I said. "Yes just wear this spike diamond headband and these." Said Luna. I looked to see a set of diamond stud earrings, a diamond bracelet, diamond tear drop necklace and a very large diamond ring and two silver bands. After that Luna did my makeup. "This was also left but for Kai." Said Luna. I turned to see a spiked diamond collar with his name on a star charm. "He must be invited to dinner as well.' Said Luna. I placed the collar on him and picked him up. I headed down and once at the doors to the dining hall they opened for me. As I came in Junsu walked up beside me. "You will be sitting beside me tonight." He said taking my empty arm in his. We walked around the large table and He helped me sit then he took his own. "You look beautiful in this dress somehow you make me think of mermaids." He said. "Thank you." I said. Soon dinner was brought out and a large baby bottle for Kai. I began to feed him as Junsu watched me. "What?" I asked him in hushed voices. "You surprise me how well you adapt." He said. "My people are drawn to you I see this. I see there wondering things about you. But don't let this get to your head." He said. I just nodded to him. After I fed Kai I sat him down on the floor where he laid at my feet. "He doesn't plan to leave your side." Said Junsu. "I guess not." I said eating my own food. I saw he had that same drink from the other night again. "Can I ask what that is?" I asked. "No you may not." He said looking over at me. As we sat there eating someone came running into the room looking scared out of his mind. Junsu shot up out of his seat. "Rae take Aries back to her room now." He yelled. Rae hurried over scooping Kai up and taking my arm in his hand pulling me out of the dining hall. "Rae what is going on?" I asked. "I'm not sure but it could be bad so I need you to stay in your room." He said as we got there Luna was waiting. Rae shut the door behind him and locked it. "Luna what is happening?" I asked. "Come look." She said. We hurried out onto the balcony and I saw the fire at the bottom of the mountain. "What has Junsu done to make these people so mad?" I asked. "He made something that would protect our people to help but in turn I guess it hasn't worked." She said. "I need to get out of this dress and into something less lady like just in case." I said. She gave me a look then ran to the wardrobe. She came over to me with black pants, and a black and white shirt. She helped me out of everything and I got into the other clothes. You could hear a loud boom nose outside. Kai started to wine at this. "It's going to be okay." I said. "Luna if something happens you need to hide when I tell you too." I said. "No My lady you will have to hide.' She said. "No I know what I have to do." I said. We could hear screams above. We walked out on the balcony as a body came flying off the very top and past our balcony. "They have gotten to the main entrance." Said Luna. "There coming and there is no stopping them." I said. "I can't stay in this room." I said I found some pins from my hair the day before so I hurried and started to pick the lock. "What are you doing?" asked Luna. "I'm not a person to sit by and not fight." I said as the door lock clicked. "You stay here ill lock this door behind me you keep Kai with you." I said. I didn't give her time to answer me as I hurried out and shut the door locking it. I made my way through the halls as I heard screaming from above. I saw him the man in the creepy mask coming. So I hide in the darker part of the hallway. As he got closer I saw he had some kind of spear stick in his hand. When he had just barely past me I slipped out behind him taking the vase nearby smashing it into his head then as he dropped the spear I picked it up stabbing him with it. I grabbed a hold of the makeshift body armor he had on and dragged him out of the hallway into the main part. I saw another one coming but he saw me and came running at me. As he reached me I bent all the way backwards making him miss me so I spun around on the floor taking his legs out from under him. As I jumped up he tried to grab my leg but I took the heel of my boot kicking him so hard in the face I heard his neck snap. That's when Rae came in covered in blood and looked at me with shock. "I was coming to take you away like Lord Junsu asked." He said still looking at me in shock. I saw another guy in a mask coming up behind him so I tossed the spear in my hand past Rae into the throat of the guy behind him. He shot around to see the man choking to death behind him. I grabbed the spear from the dead one behind me and hurried over to Rae. "I'm not going anywhere I'm fighting. How many are there?" I asked. "Not many at all if you can take them down like you have." He said. We hurried back up the stairs blocking off the rest of the palace then hurried up to the very top. As we cut the corner to the main area I saw Junsu sitting on his throne watching the blood and gore at his feet. I took off towards the fight with Rae. The first guy who came at me had a robot head in his hand and when I reached him he tossed it into the air towards Junsu who just watched. Before the guy could do more I forced my spear into his gut. Junsu now saw me and his eyes grew big. I yanked the spear for the guy's body his blood splashing up on me. At this the room grew silent and no one moved everyone watched as the person I just killed laid into my legs spilling his blood all over the floor. "Do you all like this blood shed? Do you all wish for death?" I Yelled. The looks on their faces were shock and surprise. "Sometimes you have to make peace with what is given even if it isn't right even if it tears you down you just have to make peace with it." I said feeling so many emotions run through me at once. Then a battle cry was heard and they began fighting again. Two of the masked men came running at me full force. Before I could do anything a blue and gold blade came slicing one of them while a foot kicked into the other one. I looked to see Junsu. I hurried to react and the one he kicked I used his own blade to stab himself with. I took the blade and turn to face Junsu covered in blood looking at me breathing heavy. When this had happened the rest of the masked people ran. Junsu looked away from me and waved his gold army after them. He then walked over to me with anger in his eyes. "Get back inside now." He yelled. I turned and dropped the blade headed backing inside. Rae soon joined me and unlocked my room for me. As Luna saw me she jumped into my arms. "Thank god you're alive." She said. Then she saw the blood. "Oh my let's get you cleaned up." She said. She hurried off to get a bath going. I just had so much going on inside my head at that moment. She had to take me inside the bathroom and undress me. As I sat there in the hot bath resting my head on my arm on the side of the tub the door swung open. "Get out now." Yelled Junsu to Luna. She and Kai hurried out shutting the door behind them. I heard things being slung around. "What the hell where you thinking Aries. You could have gotten hurt or dead. I'm trying to keep you safe." Yelled Junsu. I didn't look up at him I just kept my eyes on the floor that was even with my face. "What in the hell is that on you?" he said now I felt his hand touch me and I jumped back from him. He was still a bloody mess. I had tears streaming my face and I didn't know why. "What is that on you?" he asked in a calmer voice. "As I've been told there your symbols your flower." I said slowly standing for my back to be seen to him. "How? How is this possible?" he said. "I don't know what it is or what it means." I said sliding back down into the water. I rested my head back on my arms on the side of the tub. It got quiet then I heard him taking his shoes off. Then I felt the water move. I turned to look and he was in the bath with me. I grabbed the sponge off the side and wet it then I took his blood covered hand in mine and began to clean them. He let me wash all the blood off. "Turn around and let me see them my marks.' He said. I turned my back to him and he softly ran his fingers over them. Then his hands were gone and I heard him get out and then leave. I just let myself slip under the water for a second to clear my head. When I came up Luna was there with a towel. I got out and she wrapped me up helping me back to my room. I got dressed in a black silk short night gown that went around the neck showing off my back and most of my legs. I crawled into bed with Kai lying next to me licking the wound I didn't know I had on my hand. Luna left me to go clean the mess Junsu made in the bathroom. I soon drifted off to sleep.
