" Do You remember when you asked what I wanted? You said you would give me anything Milady...now I want to ask for you to fulfill your promise " Sweetheart finished his last statement while standing, his naked front facing the queen and she swallowed, her eyes lingering on his lower part and he didn't mind, the queen was one of the many who drooled after him and was satisfied.
" Why are we talking about that now, you can get back in bed before anything else?" Cassandra bit her lower lip after realizing what she had said and Sweetheart chuckled. " I'm all yours, you should know that by now…. Just verifying and I can get back in bed" he replied coolly with a smile that took her breath away.
" I feel like you want your freedom…. I can't do that!" She exclaimed getting up herself, the covers dropped as she moved and she held his hands softly, she had changed totally and it was his fault, he held her chin up and looked into her eyes and she stayed like that like she was stuck and he combed her hair with his long fingers slowly.
" I will leave now because it's time and you will be a good girl till I return, won't you?" He spoke with glowing red eyes to her like she was a small little girl who was being soothed and she nodded in daze.
" Ready?" Sweetheart asked and Ivan had a known smile on his face and then the wink that Sweetheart wanted to slap that off, they both mounted their horses and headed east.
" If you're lying about me finding solution in your unknown place, I don't mind killing you over and over again until you die" he spoke coolly yet he meant every single word and Ivan just nodded, he wasn't damp nor was he deaf. " I know…. But I must tell you it isn't going to be easy, they don't like us and we don't like them, understanding enough but only they can help " Ivan spoke after a while and Sweetheart finally asked " Who are they and where are we going?"
"The white land popularly known as the witch kingdom, it used to be lively and magical but fell early due to wars between them and other creatures, greedy ones who wanted their power for themselves, you have a connection with them….I felt it the first time we met" Ivan explained shortly which has never happened before.
Sweetheart was quiet and looking ahead, his long hair braided into one single long braid which moved alongside the wind. " You don't think you may have a past with them?" Ivan asked and he turned his head to him, " Do I look like a witch?" He asked annoyed already and Ivan sighed.
" Right! You have to know that the more we get closer the more I loose my self…. I'm not sure you would be affected, if that should happen then it means you are not awaken as you are supposed to be" Ivan added and Sweetheart glared at him, what was that supposed mean!
They crossed lands and mountains in days without food nor blood and Ivan talked less as they continued their journey, he was looking paler and the poison from his wound had resurfaced again and he didn't complain, " We should rest a bit, you don't smell good" Sweetheart said and got off his stallion with ease. Then he lended him a hand which Ivan held on to him like his life depended on.
" we are getting closer and my body is failing me" he spoke weakly, like he was forcing to stay awake or alive. " Why is this happening?" Sweetheart asked when he was able to put him down under a tree with white flowers. " This land doesn't welcome vampires nor does it welcome other creatures without permission…. I am being crushed by their force because I'm a demon " he coughed out continuously until he started bleeding.
Sweetheart stared at him for a while before he got up to find food, Ivan was definitely toast and he would be very soon if he doesn't get blood. Realizing his surrounding he couldn't help but stare at the beautiful land, the ground was dark yet it produced strong plants and after a while he was able to spot live animals. He tried catching a few but was striked by lightning and smashed into a big tree.
It took him a while before he was able to get up, he felt pain….real pain and he gasped out, he struggled to get stable before he heard the voices, was his body failing him too…..the damn land had been empty and quiet since they entered and all of a sudden voices! He couldn't hear clearly but was certain people hid in the shadows.
He was trying hard to even stand after the attack and then, he was able to see them with his inner sight….their faces were not clear but their hair, their silvery hair could not be a mistake and he stared.
Sweetheart finally sat on the ground, his whole body shook and then they came from the shadows, dressed in armor like warriors that they were, each having long white hair either braided or held in high ponytail and they pointed sharp green arrows at him, in super alert mode making him chuckle.
" You are trespassing!" One said and he shook his head, he wasn't…..he just needed help from them and now they were pissing him off, but then he was more pissed at himself for being this helpless. Remembering what the stupid demon said he just sighed, he had no energy to speak not that he has something to say.
Looking at the sharp edges of the arrows and he wandered between their green eyes and the arrow which was sharper than the other. ' lieutenant' they made way for him and he walked forward his eyes wildly looking at the intruder. " Your kind is forbidden here "he spoke with a stern face his sword under sweetheart's chin, blood dropped on it and the lieutenant frowned.
Bright light exploded from him, like a bomb sending the warriors flying away. The light was so blinding and the sound it came with shook the whole place, hurting their super sensitive ears, Sweetheart could hear his heart pounding but he couldn't see nor could he hear at time apart from that sound…..
