"Alright dear, you may want to close your eyes. We will not be going the way we came." Julie said while grabbing my hand.
I did as she said, and she was right. I peeked and wanted throw up so I closed my eyes until she said otherwise.
Suddenly I felt this pull, and then Julie said it was okay to open.
"Isabelle.." I heard him whisper.
I opened my eyes and we were back in the room.
I looked over and saw Richard had been pacing back and forth, once he saw we were back he stopped dead in his pacing. He ran to us and embraced me.
"I'm so glad you are back."
"Me too." I said as he hugged Julie as well.
"I am very happy as well, you have been missed Princess."
I looked over at the door and saw Jason leaning on the door frame. I looked at Richard and smiled.
"This makes me even more happy!" I said eagerly.
"May I have a moment with the Princess?" Jason said as he took a few steps inside the room.
I looked at Richard and Julie and they nodded. I walked over to him and he guided me outside in the garden. Richard has a beautiful garden, but I loved the one at home more.
"I missed you." Jason said as he put his hands in his pockets.
"I missed you too." I said back, not making eye contact.
"What made you come?" I asked quietly.
"Well...After I calmed down, I realized many things. One being, you were right. I needed to rid the hate of my heart. I needed to come speak to my cousin in person."
"That is really good to hear." I said smiling and looking at him.
"I feel better believe it or not. It feels as if a weight has been lifted." He said as he kept walking.
"You're suppose too." I said back, and stopped walking. He turned and looked at me,
He looked so beautiful in the moonlight, the way his hair shined and he's just... making it impossible to look away. The way he is looking at me, is the look that makes the fire inside me get bigger and bigger.
He walks over to me. and is inches from my face.
"Isabelle... I love you. Please... forgive me. I need you, I need you everyday. Come home." He said softly locking eyes with me and grabbing my face.
"I love you too. I will, after I am done helping Richard and Julie." I replied not looking away.
"I understand. Whatever you want." He said looking down at my lips and then kissing me. He started off easy, then started to kiss me harder. Oh how I missed him.
"How much longer do you have to be here?" He said breaking the kiss. I knew why he was asking. I wanted to finish helping his nephew, and Julie's son.
"I'm not sure. I have to see how his nephew is. Why don't I go ask?"
He nodded and grabbed my hand. We walked back inside and found Richard and Julie in his study.
As we walk through the halls, I never realized how much he has the same taste as Jason. Must be a family trait... or something like that.
As we approached the study we saw it already open, we heard Julie and Richard whispering, "Why did you let him come here? He will take her and we have no chance in saving him!" I heard Julie sobbing.
I looked at Jason and made a sad face and told him to wait outside the study.
I walked in and quietly said, "I will still help you, I was never planning on leaving until you found something for your son." I went over to Julie and stood close to her.
She looked at me and hugged me, "Thank you my dear. It means more than you know." I hugged her back and she whispered in my ear, "Careful, don't play with fire." Huh? Odd.
"Richard, I have a question for you." I said while pulling away from Julie.
"Anything Princess." He said.
"How much more of my blood... do you need? I do not mind helping, I just want to go home..." I trailed off looking at him and Julie.
"Is it possible I could visit everyday and give a certain amount? Or every other day? That way I am still helping but I can go home?"
Richard looked at Julie, "I don't see why not?" She nodded in agreement.
"YAY!" I said excitedly. I ran up to him and hugged him! He squeezed me and said you're welcome. I realized we were still hugging when I heard Jason say, "May I cut in?" I stepped back and looked at Jason.
"Thank you Richard. I will be back tomorrow." I said as I bowed to him.
I ran over to Jason, who kissed me and grabbed my hand.
"I'm really happy to see you both talking to each other. Did you figure everything out?" I said trying to diffuse the tension I feel.
Looking at both of them, I can see the family resemblance.
"You can that say that." Richard said, smiling at Jason.
"Yes. Richard told me he was not the one sending the threats, and the ones about taking over my land and people . It was someone else pretending to be him." Jason said while looking at me then Richard and smiled.
"I had explained to him how I felt all those years ago and my point view. I didn't want him to think I was trying to steal his place." Richard said, walking over to us.
"Go home. I know you missed each other. I'll see you tomorrow." He smiled and shooed us out of the room.
"Oh wait! Richard!" I said turning around and facing him.
"What happened with Mark?"
"Ah... that will be discussed tomorrow, Isabelle." He said shaking his head, and chuckled at the end of his sentence.
"Why? I need to know Richard. What happened?" I said sternly, locking eyes with him.
"Princess, you are safe. That is all that matters. Please, go home. " He said with a tired expression.
"Where is he Richard?" I could feel the worry start to build up in the pit of my stomach. "I need to know or I won't be okay. You don't understand." I could feel my eyes start to water.
Richard didn't break eye contact with me. His face softened and I could tell he didn't want to tell me. I needed to know or I won't be able to sleep or eat, or do anything.
"Sigh, Princess. Why? Can you please just trust me? Some things are better left unknown." He said running hands through his hair.
"I need to know. NOW." I said crossing my arms, then moving slowly towards him.
"Princess... he is no where; but somewhere. The witch that helped do the spell said a wrong word... and well now, he's somewhere in a dimension or realm but is constantly moving. You can't ever pinpoint his location, or future ones. He will basically just roam for eternity." He said giving me a shy smile.
"Well.. that isn't... exactly... What I wanted to hear, but knowing he is another realm and is never in one place for long is more comforting. I'll take it. Thank you Richard." I said hugging him goodbye.
"See you tomorrow." He said waving at me as I left the study.
I looked at Jason who was waiting for me out in the hall... looked at me with this confused look, "do you need to tell me something?"
"Huh? About what?" I'm confused on what he's asking.
"Richard? Is there something going on between you two?" He had his eyebrows raised and looking down at me with the most worried expression I've seen.
"You guys are very... similar. You made me feel comfort when I was with you even though I didn't exactly know you, but got the same feeling almost. Just not as strong." I said quietly feeling my face fall.
"Ahh. Okay. That's a blood tie. You can feel Comfort in other Royal Bloods. That's how Royal's can find other Royals. They feel them. Literally." Jason said while he relaxed his shoulders and slowed his walking pace some.
We came to the room I was staying in, and Jason mumbled some words and then a portal appeared.
He grabbed my hand, "Are you ready Princess?" I nodded and we walked through.
Once we arrived, I realized we were in the bedroom. Our bedroom. I immediately relaxed and my entire body just felt so... at home.
I heard Jason laugh as he watched me run to the closet.
"I need my comfy Pj's!" I said super excited and disappearing into the closet. I found the ones I was looking for! My light silver shorts and tank top. They were made of this light material. It was like silk, but much thinner, but it was strong. I quickly changed and ran back into the bedroom.
Jason was already in bed and reading a book.
He looked up when he saw me come out and raised his eyebrows.
"Hey there My Love." I could feel myself blush.
I climbed into bed next to him, and watched as he was reading. I loved watching him do things, seeing him in different ways and moods.
He looked so... mesmerizing as he concentrated. I knew his reading on his ancestors and history, meant a lot to him.
At the same time - I wanted to do something distracting. So I decided to scoot closer to him and run my fingers up and down is abs. He put his book down and looked at me with this... lust in his eyes.
Before I could make a move, he was already under the covers and hovering over me.
He makes me feel so happy and loved. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
