Star Crossed

Chapter 26

Kara knew very well that there were people eyeing her and the Prince oddly. Mon-El knew a Kryptonian dance or two, but he wished to teach Kara the Daxamite traditional dance. She was having so much fun with the Prince that she totally forgot they were at someone else's wedding party.

It was later that night that Kara sneaked out of the main house with her newfound courage. She even managed to sneak into the Prince's cottage, but he caught her, because Aermy had noticed someone and woken him up with a whine.

"Lady Kara, pray tell, what brings you here at this time of the night?" Mon-El smirked as Kara let herself in.

She looked around the cottage, taking in the site. "I thought we could... talk."

"Is that right?" The Prince wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed her earlobe. "Is talking all you want to do, my dearest?"

Kara smiled and shook her head. The Prince whispered something sweet in her ear. It was Daxamite and she did understand what he was saying, not completely but she managed to get the worship her body part. The Prince then led her to his room and made sweet love to her all night. Kara was exhausted and she fell asleep in the early hours of the morning. But Mon-El had to wake her up and ask her to go back to the main house in case anyone would go looking for her. Kara was still tired and she reluctantly left the cottage, but instead of going back to the main house, she found herself walking towards Aermy.

The Prince's dragon was sleeping peacefully when Kara made her way towards her. She then sat with her back against Aermy's neck and fell asleep. The blue dragon woke up to notice the young Kryptonian sleeping against her. This was her master's special friend, there was no way Aermy would disturb her. So the dragon moved a little so Kara could stretch her leg. Once the girl had comfortably settled down and fallen asleep, the dragon hummed and closed her eyes as well.

Morning came with Mon-El ready to leave Braedon. There was someplace he wished to take Kara to. So when Hal-An's mother offered to pack him a picnic, Mon-El didn't refuse.

Hal-And and Zora had already left the lake country at night after the party. So Mon-El had asked one of Zora's cousins to wake up Kara for him. He had been waiting with Zeb-An, all the while talking about his security since he had wanted Hal-An to take few days off work and be with Zora. Zeb-An wanted Mon-El to take a new guard in Hal-An's place, but the Prince kept refusing.

"If it helps, I'll move closer to Aermy," Mon-El said. "You know she won't let any harm come to me."

Zeb-An had finally given up. The Prince had always been stubborn since childhood.

Mon-El, who had been waiting for Kara, stood looking for the cousin he had sent to call Kara for him. When the lady returned, she informed Mon-El that Kara wasn't in bed. He seemed calm for someone whose lover was missing. He excused himself and made his way towards the cottage. Maybe Kara had stayed back? Or had she explored the place in the morning and gotten lost?

As he entered the cottage and frantically began to search for Kara, he heard Aermy's whine. Mon-El rushed out to see his dragon seated. What surprised him were the blonde locks that fell over Aermy's leg. Mon-El rushed towards his dragon to see that Kara was sleeping leaning against Aermy. Mon-El let out a relieved sigh. He gently woke up Kara, who didn't seem to understand where she was at the moment.

Mon-El then helped Kara up and told her to get ready since they had to fly out soon. She nodded and went back to the main house to pack her things. Everyone had gathered to say goodbye to Kara and Mon-El. They flew out of Braedon and Kara was soon looking around, taking in the beauty of this foreign land.

"Where are we going?" Kara asked, noticing that they weren't heading towards the castle she could see far away.

"Just a place I want to show you," Mon-El replied. "You'll love it."
