A Stranger in My Room

Free of Troubled Thoughts

Chapter 17

Kate's POV

All alone in my room as Thanatos disappeared, I felt renewed with all the knowledge that was left in my head,it freed me from all my worries and fear.The feeling of lightness were all I felt as I come to understand the situation I'm in right now.I never regret that defiant stunt I pull out a while ago,for it a peace my troubled mind.Now I can face anything that they will throw at me with out cowering away of fear.For now I know that all that is happening has its purpose and all of us are link together as one.Sadly I am forbbidened  to utter a word about what I discover,for the knowledge I gain could endanger my safety.Only if the situation ask for it, I can only unveil what I saw.

A smile grace my lips when the door in my room opened up and reveal my beloved,I can sense that he is worried about me.With a faint smile on his lips as he covers up his emotion he near our bed to lay beside me.

Do you want me to get you something to eat,or maybe you want to do something perhaps?He ask hughing me from my back as he caress my face.

I shook my head and hug him as tight as I can to ease his anxiousness.No I'm fine,there is no need to worry I understand now.Marynel told me not to worry that much,and I trust you......and love you that's all that matters hmmm..I uttered as I lean my forehead on his  as I close my eyes.

I have to lie to him I can't tell it to anyone nor him that I cross over to the other side just to understand him and the things that troubled my thoughts.Oh gods I felt guilty already that I'm keeping things to him.Ignoring my guilt I open my eyes and peck a kiss on his lip,hoisting myself up I tug his hands.Come I felt like craving for a black apple pie,I told him as I pull his hands for him to take me to the kitchen.

I don't reckon if Aunt Carmen bake one,Alessio uttered as he rake his hair.

Well you can always make one for me,I demanded with the sweetest smile I could muster.

Oh gods! looks like I need to ask Knight for help to fetch some of those black apples then.

Hu? Is the only word I could uttered when I heard what he said.My eyes widdenned with excitement.

Wait can I come please...... I want to see the Fae land.

Yeah I guess so.......he uttered with hesitation as he pull out some pearls from his pocket.

My eyes brightened up for I know what those pearls are for but I play innocent for him not to suspect that something is not right about me.

Uh what are those pearls for?I ask playing dumb.

I guess you have to see for your self,he uttered with a glint of excitement in his eyes.Then without further a do he drop the pearls in the floor near the mirror.

And as it hit the floor the mirror started to move like a calm water.Alessio went near it as he raise his open hand towards me.

Come don't be afraid,its a portal to the Fae land we need to cross for us to fetch those apple.

I took his offered hand without hesitation and we both walk through the portal.

I felt mesmerize with the beauty of the Fae land as I set my foot to it,I inhaled the sweet scent of the lush garden around us.

What a beautiful place this is,I uttered more to myself as I whirl around while taking in the beauty of my surroundings.

This is the Ealven Palace we are at the garden he supply as a soft chuckle escape his lips.

Ehmmm.... I hope we are not spoiling the moment Irish uttered with a smile as she make her presence known.

I walk towards her and gave her a tight hug,this place is so beautiful I breath out.

She look at me with an odd expression as thought she felt something in me has change.

Kate are you alright? Irish ask with worried expression.

Yeah truly,Im fine please don't worry to much of me,I have finally little by little trying to cope up.I uttered as I try to conceal my thoughts for them not to read it.

If you say so! she uttered with relief then she reach for my hands and pressed it.

So what can we do for the both of you? Knight uttered.

Man she's craving for black apple pie,can both of you help me out on this one.This is the only place I know were black apples grow in abundance,Alessio told them.

I did not remember telling you about this certain apple how did you know about it?Irish ask with confused expression.

Oh boy! Here we go again another lie I have a feeling that Im getting good at this I told myself.

Well you see I got to taste one when Thanatos brought some for me,when he has his turn on guarding me.

Oh that god!..... remind me not to include him on taking turn of watching over you.Alessio uttered as his jealousy were written all over his face.

Hey don't be jealous,he is just being nice to me  and informative.I told him as I took hold of his arms to calm him down.

Alessio heave a deep breath and nod his head as for the two they try to cover up their laugh.

Yeah laugh at it man he snap at Knight as he pull up his  sleeve.

Ok enough of your steam Mr. come I'll show you were to pick those apples Irish uttered as she started to walk towards the cobbled path way.

In just a few minutes of walking we are now at orchard,the waffling crisp sweet scent of black apple greeted us as we stood at the entrance.I felt my mouth water as I eyed each tree,all bears an abundant fruit waiting to be plucked.

Im fully aware that you already know that I can get you a basket full of apple in a blink of an eye.But I won't, because I know you want to experience picking it for yourself.So please help yourself and have as may as you can.And Alessio please do assist her well for her not to get hurt ok! We will be leaving both of you here now.Irish uttered with a smile then the two of them make their leave and let us be.

With excitement I pull Alessio and run towards the rows of trees after trees.I let out a laugh as I enjoy myself like a child,plucking an apple at arm reach from one tree to another as I place it carefully in the in the basket that I carry in my left arms.

Alessio on the other hand just let me do the picking as he indulge himself on watching over me.
