The King Of Darkness (on hold)

Chapter 17

"You're her."

He inspects me, from head to toe- his mouth parted open. He doesn't attempt to hide his shock or worry, I clear my throat feeling confused. Who am I? Is this something to do with what my mother happened to mention to me?

"I'm her? What do you mean I'm her?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows.

"Oh my god. I'm going to have to maximise the security and do double, maybe triple trainings and don't get me started if there's enemies roaming." He rambles to himself whilst I'm still standing there confused. He's been around for 800 years so I'm sure he knows a lot more than he lets on.

"Malakai! Stop rambling and answer me," I demand instantly. He pauses his pacing and rushes to me, grabbing my hands tightly.

"You're human," he whispers out. He then releases my hands and scratches his head, proceeding to pace back and forth while I watch him.

"Can you just answer me for Christ's sake!" I shout slapping him. He stops and gives me a look of warning, his anger clouding over for a brief moment.

"You're not just any goddess, Catalena. You're just one particular goddess, you're the f*cking queen," I gasp and shake my head. I can't be the queen. I'm human. How can a human be the queen goddess? It can't be. I'm more vulnerable in this state and I don't know what powers I hold within me, I'm yet to discover them. No wonder my mum told me to not mention my real name to anyone, she knew. She had the audacity to hide who am I from me, my mate had to tell me. How could she do that?

My anger continues to ignite and I take deep breaths, trying to control myself. "You're shitting me aren't you?" I snap at him.

"No," he answers back tentatively. "Look, calm down. We will work this all out, I promise."

"Don't tell me to f*cking calm down! I will not calm down!" I shout at him. I know it's wrong to take my anger and frustration out on him, but I can't help it. He's stressing me out.

"Stop getting mad at me!" He screeches like a girl.

"No, you stop getting mad at me!" I screech back.

We both are freaking out. I feel like Malakai is just shocked whereas I'm just scared. He knows that this will require extra protection from the dangers of the outside world. If people hear of this they will attempt to kill me or use me for their own good use. Why the f*ck do I have to be human? It would be really good if I were Vampire, then I could defend myself against a much powerful force.

My thoughts wonder off and I wonder how can his personality change so quickly around me and others? How can someone fake himself around everyone? That just be a difficult thing to do. He did it every day for months because he was scared to show he loved me because of his past. I hate how our pasts blind his from the future and how beautiful it can be. I feel like if it weren't for the powers in me of love then he wouldn't have admitted anything. The force in me has an effect, I know he can feel it too. Why is it only just starting to show? Is it like a switch in my brain or something?

From these past events I realise I need to see my best friend, Bryn always gives good advice and we have known each other forever. I can trust her, right?

"I need to see Bryn," I'm not asking for permission. He knows that too, he gives me a look of warning and I glare at him. Why can't he discuss matters with Timothy too? Timothy does all of the training with the members.

"I don't think you should leave my sight. From what I've just discovered, everyone will be looking for you Lena," he swallows. Looking almost afraid, but not showing too much. I begin to walk away but he grabs my arm, "I need to say something first."
