Chapter 39

Jamie

Yet again I find myself tangled in Lady Red's embrace. I have been away from England four years this upcoming November. I moved on from Ajay's coven about two years ago. I am not even in India anymore. I find myself in China with a group of monks. They are all vampires and they have taught me much more on medicine. I do believe that my research is finally complete. Better than that I have indeed found myself. I realize now that all the drinking, sex, and depressed nights were all because I could not accept my situation. I am a vampire. My wife Mercy left me, and most likely will not return. I am the Princess, third in line for the throne. I will not run any longer, and will not use this beautiful woman ever again. Our affair although pleasurable has been vain. She reminded me so much of Mercy that I thought she would give me peace. She has not. All this causes for both of us is pain. I am no fool to the fact that she misses someone as well. The way she sleeps with me tells me all that I need to know. She loved someone once, and will not have that person again. We are both using each other in an attempt to ease our pain.

"You have to stop leaving me like that. You worry me. Are we not aroused?" I have wanted to try something. I know that she is a hybrid like Mercy was. Tonight Saturn is in line with the moon. Underneath this a witch is completed to tell all. I want to know who she was in love with. I believe I have know for a while, but bow I will know for certain.

"I hope you will forgive me for this. . . I call down the power of Saturn. Tell me every truth that I desire." She freezes then relaxes again. I can see in her eyes that she knows what I am about to ask, and she fears it.

"Please..."

"Who were you in love with?" She bites down on her lip to stop the name from coming. Against her will it falls.

"You." I sit up. It all hit me there. She is...

"Lift your spell and reveal your true from." The tears begin to fall as she brings her hand up to her face. The limb shakes and withers, dreading the harsh judgment to come. She does a gesture and the face she wore disappeared like mist. Under it my wife.

"Mercy." Her tears flow down. It has been her this whole time. Elder Yang must have known, but that is not the main concern.

"Why did you do this?" She looks up at me.

"It was the only way to get close to you. I thought you would fall for me in this form. When I told you who I truly was I hoped that you would not care." Still it is not my main concern.

"Why did you truly leave me that night? Was what you said to me true?"

"You did not deserve to live in squalor. I had no faith in Saryia's method, and I did not wish to be a burden. I left you that night so I could amass my fortune then return. When I returned I would give you your every desire. All I wished was to care for you like you cared for me. You are the one that filled my spirit with love. Not Saryia or any amount of money can do what you have done for me." I sigh then get out of the bed. I put back on my robe then look back at Mercy.

"You are released from Saturn's influence." Mercy coughs then gets out of the bed and comes over to me. She tries to touch my arm but I move away.

"You have no idea how cold my heart has become since you left."

"Jamie." I turn to face her. Mercy gets on her knees before me.

"I am the lowest worm on this Earth. I know I can make this right and warm your heart again. I will do anything to be with you. I did all of this to be with you. . . Then you go and fall for some human girl."

"So you did kill Sam. That poison in her system was not a attempt to take her life. It was you." She gets up and slams me against the wall.

"That whore wanted to be your wife, but wether we are together or not I will always be your wife. I am yours and you are mine... Anyone that interferes will be removed." Effortlessly I remove her grip on me. Her eyes are not like what they were when we married. They are filled with hate and envy. This woman before me is not the one I pledged my life to.

"Yes you were my wife, but that was in a different life. The woman before my eyes now is not the woman I was in love with. . . I-- I never want to see you again." Fresh tears come down her face.

"That can be arranged. Tell Saryia you found me. She will come and hang me like she wanted to before." I shake my head then go over to my medical case. Since here I have been making elixirs that do many different things to the mind. Being here at this beautiful temple I made an elixir that soothes my troubled mind and has opened my mind and body to the flowing energy around me. There is a certain one that effects my memory. I take out the vile and let Mercy look at it.

"Combined with my power this will disrupt my memories of you. I will forget this night ever happened, but your one answer that I wanted will remain. I have my peace now. . . Leave Mercy and never show your face to me again." She goes around the room to gather her clothing. As she walks to the door she turns back to look at me as I open the vile.

"Drink that brew all you wish. I will make you love me again. I will never stop until you do." I look right into her eyes.

"I never stopped loving you." Without another word I drink the contents of the vile. The memory fades away. All of them do. The only ones that remain are the ones where we were strictly friends. When I open my eyes the room is empty. The door is open. Before I could close it one of the monks comes in.

"Is there a problem Princess Jamie?" I shake my head.

"None sir, I am ready to go home I fear. I miss England. I will be leaving in the morning and returning to Kollam." He bows.

"As you wish." Yes it is time to go back to the royal court. With my new medicines I can help more vampires. Also with these new tools I might find the cure for King Father. And Saryia will be better soon. I hope she has not been much trouble since my departure.
