The Art of Fire

Royal Blood

"Feuer, wake up! Hurry!" Suddenly Onyx shouts and open the door.
"What the hell!" i jump from the bed. i was still laying in bed while trying to think about what i should do next, and i look at the window and realise it's bright already. Yes it's morning already! So, I didn't sleep all night.
"Are you sleeping or not? It seems like you didn't sleep." Onyx looks at me and suddenly my cheek blush a little. Hell yeah, and it's because of you and your destiny thing.
"Can't sleep. Well, what's the matter?" I change the subject.
"Oh yeah, hurry, take a bath, we'll go. I'm gonna show you my whole town." He said excitedly.
"Your town? Honestly, are you that rich? You own a town and a forest? Who the hell are you?"
"I supposed you'll know that later. I'm gonna show you all things that belongs to me." His evil smile really makes me realize that he really is a vampire.
"Hah, okay then. Just wait outside."

I enter the bathroom. Wow, it's really a nice bathroom. Large and clean. My clothes are messy. I look at the wardrobe. Whoa, what a beautiful dress. Maybe I can use this. I'll tell Onyx later. So I take a bath, get dresses, and meet Onyx outside the room. He's with Sirius.

"Sorry, I saw this dress in the bathroom, can I wear it, Onyx?" I ask his permission.
"That fits you well. All dresses in the wardrobe were prepared for you while you unconcious yesterday. So you don't have to ask my permission." He smiles at me.
"Really? That dresses are for me? Come on, Onyx! You don't have to be that kind to me." I mumble.
"It doesn't matter, since you'll live with me here, you need more clothes. So don't worry. It's my fault that you stuck in this world. His fault actually." He hits Sirius's head.
"Aw, be good, Onyx! Not my head!" Sirius frown.
"I don't remember I've tell you that I agree to be you destiny!" I remind him.
"Don't worry. You will!" Wah, he's definitely showing his evil side now. What a pride!
"Come on! Ready to go?" Sirius stretches his arms widely.
"Hold my hand!" Onyx asks me while his other hand reaches Sirius' hand
"What are you guys trying to do?" i'm not sure whether i should take his hand or not.
"Just hold still!" He grabs my hand. And suddenly I feel some smacks, and the scene changes. It's a beautiful yet refreshing park.

"We're here!"
"I really can't like the effect of disappeare with you! Can't you land us a bit smoother next time?" Onyx let go of his hand from Sirius and grab my waist when suddenly i lose my power to stand.
"I feel dizzy!" I hold Onyx's hand tightly, try not to fall.
"That's your first experience. So it's normal." Sirius makes a weird face. He's grinning and shows his teeth.
"I was wrong I asked you to accompany us." Onyx leads me to a bench.
"Okay, sorry, my lady! Now, do you want a drink?" He regrets.
"Give me a hot chocolate, with some cookies!" I ask him, with smile. i love chocolates, it gives me energy when i use too much power.
"And don't worry, I'll be fine." I add it.
"Ok, here's your order, my lady!" he gives me  mug of chocolate.
"Where did you get that?" I feel amused. He only put his hand behind his back and take the mug from nowhere.
"From deep down of my heart!" he laughs again. What a cheerful laugh.

"Hello, I'm still here. Can I join you guys?" Looks like Onyx has been forgotten for a moment.
"Sorry, I don't know that you follow us here! Since when were you here?" Sirius jokes.
"Hey Sirius, did I ask you a HOT chocolate? It's cold!" I sipped the chocolate only to find it is cold. i don't drink cold. it makes me feel dizzier.
"What? That's not possible. My magic never failed, especially if it's related with food."
"Here, try yourself!" I give him the mug.
"Hem, it's strange."
" told you, now give it to me." I ask. And I increase my hand's temperature. I hold the mug with both of my hand and the chocolate slowly become hotter. So, that's my hot chocolate. I drink it. I don't realize that there are 4 eyes keep staring at me.
"Can I have the cookies?" I look at Sirius and pointing the cookies he hold.
"Here are your cookies." He's still in a daze.
"Thank you!" I eat the cookies. It tastes good.
"I didn't know that ability. I thought you only can make fire and move in flash!" Onyx still didn't blink and looks at me intensely.
"Well, that's the extension of my fire ability. I can control temperature. I just realized that last year. It's really useful." I smile.
"Useful? That was awesome!! I really envy you now." Sirius is totally excited.
"Well, I'm more interested in his vampire's things and your magic, you know." I look at Sirius.
"So, you already decided your fate?" Sirius asks.
"Nope, until I'm sure what's going on here. I think Onyx can wait until next year. He told me yesterday."
"Well, yeah i told her so. Don't worry Sirius! I won't make your magic useless."
"But, Onyx, you know the consequents if you failed, don't you?" Sirius looks serious; I thought he can't make that serious expression.
"Yeah, everyone will hunt me, and I will lose everything I have now. You've told me hundred times." Onyx looks bored.

He'll lose everything? It can't be so extreme, right? How can it be? What should I do? Should I give my blood? But, that means I must stick with him forever. No way. I don't like steady relationships.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" I ask Onyx.
"Sure." his eyes back to mine.
"If I give my blood, you only can drink mine, right? Does it mean I must lose my blood every day?"
"Whoa, I'm not that greedy. Once in 5 days is fine with me. your blood just the vitamin for my immortality, not my daily food. i still eat like you." Onyx explains.
"But the first time is really important, Onyx. if i was wrong, we don't have enough time to find the right one!" Sirius shows his really worry face, they are bestfriend, i'm sure now.

" So do you make mistakes? do you feel that you are wrong?" ask Onyx.
Sirius looks at his feet and freeze for about 1 minute and shout, " I AM NOT!" he grins.
"well then, don't worry too much and shall we have fun today?" Onyx pats his shoulder and smiles.

"So, where will we go now?" Sirius asks.
"My new Theme park." Onyx smiles.
"Who is he? Is he that rich and famous? Is he a superstar or something?" I ask Sirius curiously with a low voice.

"He is a member of Three Pure family; of course he is wealthy and rich. In this Tierra, only three families that have one pure blood Heir, him is one of the heirs. Each family owns a country and some allies and other groups from different kinds. so technically there are 3 vampire countries. And Onyx is the next King."

"Wow, he's that great? Maybe a girl whom he loves is definitely the luckiest girl in the universe."
"Well, congratulations for you!" Sirius jokes.
"What..." i was cut by Onyx who jumps between us and shout.
"Hey, hurry up! What are you talking about? Are you gossiping about me?"
"You wish!" Sirius runs from him before Onyx attacks his head again. It's been long time since i can laugh hard.
