Storm
"Where have you been?",
I roll my eyes. I'm not in any mood for this, especially not after what I've been dealing with. I just saw Blossom naked, naked. And oh my my, her body is gorgeous, her curves, her breasts for crying out loud. Emm-,
"Storm? Where the hell have you been?",
"Not now Maren", I roll my eyes. All I wanna do now is head to bed. I need to cool off, I need to rethink and plan on how the hell will I go through with my mission with what I saw. Selina didn't tell me how beautiful she is, her skin, her thin hands and her ass, she's out of this world beautiful, not even Faerie world compares.
"When?", She argues. "You said coming with you here would make our relationship different, you said you'd finally change and be different", she starts pacing around the bedroom we're in and I suddenly feel like she's making me dizzy.
I'm sitting on the bed with my hands covering my face, I'm still caught up with the image of Blossom naked in my head. "I know what I said", it comes out as a whisper. I don't even know why I'm with Maren. She's beautiful and all but she doesn't compare to Blossom.
"You keep saying that but you don't act on it", she whines, then start yelling while pacing. "Faerie world is way better than this place. People there aren't naive, stupid, like these people here are. I wanna go home if you're not gonna do what you promised-",
I quickly get up and grab her tightly. She's driving me crazy right now. This is all my mum's fault, Selina. I shouldn't have listened to her.
Selina came back one good day claiming she's got good news. "Sweetheart, I have good news", she said. She's my mum so I sat down and listened to what she had to say, but instead, in walked Maren. I thought she's the most beautiful Faerie I've ever seen. "This is Maren", mum smiled. "Maren, meet my son Storm", Maren nodded with a flash of black eyes to show me her magic. I showed her mine by flashes a deep green color, that's what us faeries do when we introduce ourselves.
From that day Maren kept coming to my house, checking on me or my mum. One night she came saying she's scared to sleep alone at her house and wanted me to keep her company over night for protection. I must have been stupid, so I agreed.
In the morning Selina walked in my room and found us naked. I still don't know how it happened but apparently it did, so I'm forced to marry Maren.
"Would you calm the heck down", I scold, as I shake her body to snap her out of what's she's in. I'm tired of her acting like a drunk teenager.
"You're hurting me", she cries, struggling to get out of my tight hold. I look at where I'm holding her, my hands are tight in her upper arms and if she was motal, I would have left a mark.
I roughly push her to my bed, letting her fall on her back, "Get out of my room",
"What?", she cries, "This is my room too",
Since Selina caught us naked, and Maren and I having to be engaged, Selina bought us an apartment. It was supposed to be mine, only mine as a high school graduation gift. But I messed up.
"No it isn't, so get out", I yell. "Noooow!",
She gets off my bed and runs out crying. She's probably gonna call Selina and tell her that happened. Selina even thinks that I don't know that her and Maren talk about me all time.
Blossom, I drift into deep thoughts. Why does Jasmine want Blossom dead? What did she do to her to be wanted dead?
I pull off my shirt since it's getting way hot for my liking. I grab my phone and lay on bed, going through my contacts. I need to know why Blossom is on the hitlist.
I dial one guy I think would know the answers to my questions.
"Bro, what's up man",
Its my best buddy Eugene, he never disappoints me. And good thing is that he knows more than I know about everything and everyone in Faerie world.
"You alone?", I ask. I have to make sure.
The line becomes quiet for a while then he says, "I am now",
"I wanna know something-",
"I'm all ears man, just ask away I don't have much time", he says. He's always around people with the job he's got.
"Blossom, I need information about her", I start. "About her magic, why she's wanted dead",
"Oh man, what happened now?", he breaths. He know I ask no questions when it comes to the missions given.
"You don't have much time", I remind him.
"She's the daughter of queen Padma. I suppose you've read about the history of faeries-",
"No. Not at all", I quickly state before our time is up.
"Queen Padma had a lover before King James. She was deeply in love with her previous guy and they ended up forbidden making love in secret. Just when King James was ready to engage her, he found out that she's pregnant but he didn't care, all he wanted was to be with Padma-",
"What happened to the guy?",
"Queen Padma saw him in secret until the King's guards found out. He had her followed just after he was suspecting that it was the ideal child he's willing to raise",
"What's that suppose to mean?",
"Rumors spreaded about Queen Padma's pregnancy, they called it the forbidden pregnancy-",
Oh yeah, I remember now. I grow up under those rumors. It took up to 10years birthday for the rumors to die out. I never got to meet the forbidden child-, shit.
"Damnit", I sigh.
"Yeap, Blossom is the forbidden child",
"How did she get to be here instead of Faerie World?",
I still don't remember why they called her the forbidden child, but I know she has magic powerful than most of us, I just don't know how powerful is powerful.
"Shit, there's someone coming, hold on",
I listen as Eugene move around and mumble to whomever is near him. Then after a few seconds he speaks, "King James married Queen Padma after she gave birth. But a few weeks after Blossom was born they argued a lot, there was something King James didn't like about the child. He wanted the child out of the castle. One night Queen Padma woke up to find King James with a knife, staring at Blossom like he just saw a ghost, or horrible monster. I don't know which is worst",
"Oh", I gasp.
"The next morning queen Padma ran away with the baby. She came back after two weeks without the baby, claiming she's dead",
That's what I knew about the forbidden child. That she changed into some monster and the queen killed her. "She told the King that he was right, that the child wasn't an ordinary child but she wanted to kill her herself",
"He didn't investigate further because of how much he loves her-", the realization just hit.
"Yeah, and the got married the next week", Eugene replies.
A powerful child is the one that combines both parents magic. But the most powerful is the one that works the magic all at once. Once a baby reach two weeks or more, they cry a different cry, it's more like a call out and with that they combine magic or pick which magic they want from the parents.
I took both powers from my parents, I see through walls, thats mum's bright green magic, I radiate light from my palms and that's dad's dark green magic. I got lucky that I can work both magic at once.
Some parents don't hear the cry but I suppose King James heard Blossom's cry and woke up to go check her powers. She must have scared him to want to kill her. Queen Padma ran away with Blossom to hide her, but what exactly did she hide?
"Who's the father?", I ask.
I've seen the resemblance of Padma's magic, radiating fire with her while body, I guess she took the whether magic from her dad.
"I have to go-",
"Eugene who's the dad?",
The line cuts.
"Damnit!", I yell, tossing the phone on the floor. I just hope it's not damaged. This definitely means I should go take to Warren, I know he's working for the Queen and it'll be difficult for me to get to talk to him without him wanting to kill me.
I start pacing around my room thinking of what to do next. Maybe I should call this Nori girl.
After rescueing Blossom and Warren telling her that I'm here to kill her, I ran. I wasn't gonna start answering questions I'm not ready for and I wasn't ready to kill anyone. Noone can defeat me when it comes to fighting. And Warren is the weakest guy I know. It was a bad combination between their parents, no wonder the dad walked out and the mum gave them up.
I have to do something. I put my t-shirt back on, I don't know where I'd find Warren but I'll have to. I can go looking for Nori cause she could be with Blossom and I can't deal with that now. She'll think I wanna kill her and cause a scene.
...
I drive around town asking around if anyone knows Warren and where I can find him. I'm asking girls since Warren has the charm magic. A few girls said they don't know where he lives but they do know who he is. I've been driving for an hour now.
"Hey babe", I've stopped by the park I found Blossom at. I bust checking if I can find Warren on any social media when two girls approach me. "You look frustrated",
Dark skin girls are not my thing but I might change my mind. "Hey sweethearts", I smile facing at the tall one with the body of a famous swimwear model. "I am frustrated but I think I'll get over it since now I got to see your face",
She giggles. "I'm Thando, this is Bonnie and she doesn't like boys", she smiles. "She more into girls but I'm not, I like boys",
"She has a boyfriend", Bonnie snaps. "Can we go now, you've said hi",
"I see your friend is in a hurry", I glance at Bonnie, "Look, I'm looking for Warren",
"Don't tell me you're gay", Thando says.
"I guess officially everyone is interested to Warren", Bonnie smirks.
"But apparently you're not", Thando rolls her eyes.
"Oh no it's nothing like that, he's sort of a friend and I need to talk to him about something important", I correct the whole issue.
"Sort of a friend?", Bonnie rise her eyebrow in question.
"Family friend", I clarify. "I know his family and we almost became more like brothers when we grew up", I don't know why I have to explain myself.
"I'll show you where he lives", Thando smirks and Bonnie rolls her eyes.
"Okay", I nod. "Let's go then.
"Nice car", Bonnie says. "I'm only gonna go with you cause I have to keep watch on Thando, her boyfriend asked me since he knows how much she can be unfaithful",
"You know you don't have to", Thando says and Bonnie shrugs her shoulders.
We get in my car and I drive towards the direction I'm pointed to.
...
"We made it", Thando says.
I look out the window. The place looks like some kind of flats. There's people everywhere, you'd swear there's a drug lord living in one of the flats.
"Okay, where do you live?", I ask Thando.
"Oh hell no. Tell him and I'm calling Alec",
Alec, the name seems to ring a bell. Where did I hear the name?
"Alec? The one who's always with Parris?", when I got to the park, before I rescued Blossom from that Parris girl, she called out the guy's name, Alec. And asked if he knows that he's being Parris's lap dog, something like that.
"What?", Thando gasps. "She'd never do that to me",
"Do what?", I ask. "What?", I'm really confused. Thando looks like she's about to scream, Bonnie looks like she's afraid that Thando will scream.
Girls...
