Princess of AMBER

Chapter 38

Bryce's POV.

      I have almost reached my bike, when I hear that girl's voice behind me, as she was struggling to get free from my men. 

"Let me go, you both!" she said frustrated.

     Her voice made me stop immediately. Have I lost my mind? Have I gone so insane, that I start to imagine her voice? It sounded so much like Kyra. I could recognize it on the spot, as it was forever embedded in my memory. I turn myself around and start to walk towards her, while examining this girl, who sounds so much like my owner. My eyes roam up and down her body, trying to find any resemblance to Kyra. As closer I am getting, the more my emotions are starting to boil inside of me. Is this it? Is it really her? I am by her side and I look in her frightened eyes. Yes. Those are the same beautiful eyes - big and scared, like I remember from our very first encounter. I cannot contain my emotions anymore. I feel so happy and relieved to have found her. 

     I feel a tear leave my eye. First, it blurs off my vision and then I feel a warm liquid slowly sliding down my cheek. What is happening to me? Am I crying? Can I ....? It feels kind of relieving, but I can sense that more are trying to burst out of my eyes. At this moment my vision is fully gone. I have so much hurt inside of me, which makes my body tremble by an intensity of the feelings. I loose a strength in my legs and collapse, by her form. My hands instinctively reach to her, until I have got hold of my owner.

"Please..... never.... leave me alone again, Kyra." I barely managed to voice these words.

     Her body is so warm and welcoming, despite her frightened state. I squeeze her tighter, I feel like, if I let go of her now, Kyra will disappear again. Then her trembling fingers touch my hands and it snaps me out of my pathetic act. She have changed my composure to the opposite of what I have always been. I stood up and tried to stop my tears. I could see, that she is still confused and does not recognize me. I took off my glasses, to make it easier for her to remember me. My hands again came to her face, touching the smooth and delicate skin of her cheeks, coated by her disappearing tears.

"Kyra...." and again I could not tell a single word to her by how much of a turmoil was inside of my mind.

"Bryce? Bryce? Is that you?" I heard her gentle voice and her eyes started to tear up again.

"I have found you!" and I could not help but crack a smile, despite the pain I was feeling.

     I still could not believe I have found her, after so many years of search. Was she real? I felt happy, a feeling long forgotten. I hold her form closer to my body, feeling her's tremble in my hands. Was she happy too to see me or she felt something else? No matter, what her answer is, I will never let her out of my sight again. 

"We are going home!" I said in her ear between my breaths. I felt her tense up. 

".... but A.. Amber.... and.... E-Ono.....no.... I don't understand." she pulled herself away from me. 

Her face was filled with confusion and fear. I could see her eyes darting from one side to other.

I don't know, what she have heard of me, but Kyra seemed to be scared..... still scared of me.

"No need to worry about him. As long as you are by my side, he is not going to harm anyone." I hugged her tightly. 

I could feel her relax little bit. "Don't make me force you to come back...... Now... there are people who miss you much in Amber."

      I was ready to guide her to my bike, when my eyes caught  two of my men. Their faces were a mixture of confusion and fear. I looked back at Kyra and noticed her bleeding nose. He hit her. That bastard hit her. My gaze hardened on both men. But..... partly it was my fault, I allowed them to take her, drag her out and be beaten. No point of dealing with them in my usual way. Kyra is now with me, still scared, if I do things my way, she will never want to be with me.
