Eclipstar's Fury (Book Two)

VI

I woke up with a splitting headache. My body felt drained of all its energy to the point where I couldn't move.

I  felt I was in a room. It had a rich smell of pines. It had wooden walls with a window by the bed. I turned my head to the bedside table to find a glass of water.

My throat felt dry and it ached for the water. I did not trust this water. I tried to locate the place using my sense of smell.

Just great, I officially can not use my sense of smell.

My magic was out of question. It was weak, very weak. Caelen and Misty.

I have to find them. "Don't worry they are fine." An unfamiliar voice said as if reading my mind.

Like a rational person j ask the first question that pops in mind. "Who are you? Where is this place" I tried to move this time and I groan in pain.

"I wouldn't do that if in were you." The voice said this time.

I can't see the persons face clearly but I saw a shadow at the door. A tall shadow to be precise.

The shadow came closer and sat beside. I blink me eyes furiously to see but to get disappointed.

I felt cold hands on my forehead. It felt smooth. "What are you doing?" In asked afraid. I got ignored by the voice.

My sight was improving by every second and my vision was becoming clearer. I could see the shadow's face now.

He had a pale face with coal black hair. His eye were so enchanting. They were blue with green. He also had a squared jaw with a sight stubble on it. His nose was perfect. It looked like he was created by a god.

He coughed to get my attention." Uh..sorry about that. Where are my friends?" I couldn't help but ask that one question.

"Your friends are fine. I have a question." He asked me." Why were they wounded? You seem..." He paused and took my palms in his." Much stronger than your size. You also have this smell I can't figure out. Who are you?" He asked looking at me intently.

He gaze was burning holes in my head and I felt quite uncomfortable under his gaze." Who am I?" I ask myself repeating the same question over again.

"Who am I?" I asked myself. I look through the window and adjusted my body to a sitting position.

"I let my people down. I have failed. Two people are hurt because of me. And my family is captured because of me. Everything I live is a lie." I sob in my palms.

I feel his hands wrap around me slowly afraid to hurt me. "It's all right. Just let it out." He pat my back.

The rest of the minute was my sobs that could be heard. I look up to him."Am sorry for that." I pointed to his shirt.

"Its nothing." He shrugged it. I saw few people walking in the snow doing their normal activities. I never knew people lived here, Caelen never told me about.

Just thinking about him brings some memories.

I watched as Caelen shot another arrow in the middle again. I clapped for him making rather unladylike noises.

He looked at me with amusement and shook his head." I never you were so unladylike. "He spoke and I stared at him with no interest.

" Well who said I was a lady. I'm your Queen and you dared disrespect me." I followed him poking his back like a five year old.

"Hey, dumbo am speaking to you. Hey.." He turned so quick I jumped in shock. I couldn't finish what I wanted to say.

He wrapped his hand around my waist to prevent me from falling and pulled me close to his chest. The contact was doing something to me and I didn't like it one bit.
