Chapter 33 - Secrets

Shira Pov:

Shira let me come with you. I need to be with you on this journey to the moving mountain kingdom to be at ease. I cannot stay here knowing you might be in danger and there is nothing I could do to help.

I have forgotten for a minute how stubborn Damien can be. I think we have been on this topic for an hour now.

Damien you cannot come with me. Your parent still needs you here. You all have been apart for so long, I cannot take you away just yet. I have Lance and Pellow with me, and I will have you know that am not a lady in distress. I can very well take care of myself.

You need to stay here and take care of everything you need to do. You might not be the heir to the throne anymore, but you still have your duties to the throne and to your family. When am back, we can all go back home together.

Shira, don't be unreasonable. Am sure my parent will understand my need to leave. What if something happen to you there? How am I suppose to live with myself? I will not even be able to uphold the so called 'Duties' when I know nothing of your well-being.

Ughh! I exclaimed in utter disbelief.. I am the unreasonable one? I really don't have time for this, I need to leave soon. There is no way am leaving here with him though. I don't know what lay in wait for us, my heart will break in a million pieces if I put him in harms way. My soul cannot bear it.

Damien we have the soul bond, you will always know if something were to happen to me. Do you not trust me? I will be cautious and I promise you that nothing will happen to me. I also have Lance with me, he can also help keep me safe.

I was finally able to make him agree to stay back and let me go, believe me it was not an easy feat. After bidding farewell to him and his family, Lance and I left for the moving mountain Kingdom.

Zozo was not able to feel the presence of my Lookalike here in the Grimly kingdom. So the only place left for her to hide is the Moving mountain Kingdom.

The dream I had has been really bothering me, I cannot make sense of it. I am sure I was brought to a past but I do not know what my parent was talking about.. What secret were they keeping from us? Was that what led to their demise? What gem is dimming? The whole thing was heavy on me, I had to put the whole thing off for now. I need to focus my whole attention to the task at hand.

Shira what is wrong? I heard Lance ask me. You have been staring into space for a while now, you seem to be bothered about something. Is it something I should know about?

I do not think this is something that should be discuss now. There is so many people around that could eavesdrop on our conversation. I know I can trust the three people in the carriage but I need to be careful nonetheless.

You can talk to me like this, I heard his voice vibrate in my head. I almost forgot we both share this talent. We both have this psychic ability where we can speak with our mind without moving our lips.

I had a dream last night and it has been weighing heavily on my mind, I saw Father and Mother. I narrate everything I saw and heard in my dream to him.

He went silent for a while. I think he is trying to process everything he just heard. I know it is difficult for him to talk about our parent passing. So talking about this might be heavy for him.

There is so much we do not know. So many things hidden in the dark. I know they might have had the best of intentions by keeping things away from us, but now we are being targeted from all sides and we are clueless as to the reason why or what we are suppose to do.

I understand why it is weighing on you, and I believe there is a reason why you were shown that in your dream. But there is actually nothing we can do at the moment as we do not know all the details. The only fact that is clear is that our parent was keeping things from us, I believe time will clarify everything. For now let us focus on solving the mystery of why there is a vengeful vampire amidst us.

Lance is right. There is no reason dwelling on things I cannot control. I rather focus my attention on figuring out who this vampire lookalike is, Who seem to want to destroy me for reason best known to her. I plan to get to the root of it though no matter what the outcome may be.

Shira, we are getting close to the gate of the kingdom.

Who is in the carriage? We heard a guard ask our guards. I didn't really hear much of what Zeffirelli told them but someone seem to be walking towards us. I looked out the window and as soon as he saw us he bowed.

I am sorry for disturbing your Supreme highness. I am Luka head of the guards assigned to guard the border. We were not expecting your visit, We would have made preparations to welcome your esteemed self.

Forgive our disrespectful attitude, he said bowing really low now, but we had been having series of abductions recently, hence the reason for the precautions.

Talk about keeping a low profile. Am starting to regret why we did not travel incognito.

I understand perfectly. We are here to help rectify the said issue and for us to be able to put an end to this problem, we will appreciate if no one knows of our presence here. We do not want them to evade us now, do we? I said with all seriousness. I hope he is someone that can shut his mouth. On a second note, kindly come in, there is something I would like to discuss with you.

Are you sure your supreme higness? I am not fit to sit in your presence. Being close to you like this is the greatest honor, he said as he bowed even more deeply. Any more lower and his head wil be on the floor, can he just enter already.

You should enter as the matter we are to discuss will help in finding out the whereabouts of the abductors. Do not worry, you deserve to be in my presence as you are highly favored.

He finally entered after instructing the other guards to allow our carriage in. I could see the joy all over his face, which make me almost regret doing this but it has to be done.

Lance, erase his memory of us. We do not want news reaching that entity we are closing in on her, I told him with our mind link.

I could feel her presence already. I heard Zozo said as soon as we enter into the kingdom.
