Decided to show my love and care by posting another chapter earlier than usual. So enjoy
We stayed in that position for a while. The footsteps were already getting closer with each heart beat, maybe if i stopped beating, the footsteps would stop too
Vicky, that's not how it works
I didn't even know i was holding my breath until the guy told me
"Breath, would you?"
Right
I took a deep breath and look at him. He gave me a nod with a small smile. I didn't know what was happening. I know what you guys are thinking. How sure am i that he is not the bad guy. I wasn't sure but the least thing i want to do in a foreign world was to get into some kind of trouble so i decided to just stay put and not do anything I'll regret
The footsteps stopped and they discussed something among themselves. I wasn't sure if the stranger heard what they said but i did
"Search around for him"
Are you kidding me right now. Don't tell me he's a criminal and the cops or soldiers or whatever they call themselves have come to arrest him. This is not my day at all. And where the hell is Nicky. I should have stayed and laugh over it at home with everyone else
Their men or whatever started moving closer and when they were by the alley we were hiding, they faced us
I was expecting some shooting, some blood, some actions but i guess some people's imaginations are too wild. Hehe
"Prince, where have you been?" One of the men said. I got that part right but not the other part of course
A prince? I couldn't believe this dunk was a prince. In my years in my world, I've never met a royalty at all but now i met one and almost made him unrecognizable by his peeps. Oops
"I went for a walk, my good man" he let go of me and patted the man on his shoulders "No need to worry"
No need to worry? He was almost freaking out. He said don't worry. I couldn't help but burst out laughing
"Sorry but i can't help myself" i said when i noticed everyone starring at me. "Your highness, what are you doing with this creature"
This creature could make you eat your words. By the time i snapped out of my thoughts, the guy was having that lust in his eyes and his claws were out. Wait does he think I'm a threat or what?. I barely understand what's going on here rather than being called the threat here
"Oh i dare you" i said as i was about to approach him but the werewolf stopped me. Yeah, a werewolf in my eyes, not a prince. "Okay, let us all calm down. Winston, she is just a friend"
"A friends?" Winston and i asked simultaneously "She looks more of a peasant to me" he said with obvious disgust. "Repeat it. Call me a peasant one more time and your claws would be the odd one out when you fully transform"
"Okay, Winston, do not offend our guest"
"Our guest?" Winston asked
"Yes. Our guest. When we get to our premises, tell the helps to arrange a room. Got it?"
"Yes, your highness"
"Good. Shall we?" He turned to me already extending his elbow. What does he think this is, some fairy tale. I still held him either ways because i didn't want to the men who looked more like a mafia gang to me to be suspicious
It took us a while to get to his place and it was a literal mansion. It had a fountain in the middle of the drive through. The whole building was cream and had royal written all over it. Wowww
There were a lot of details that i couldn't highlight. They opened the mansion's door for the both of us and stepped aside as if he was the owner of this place, i mean he is a prince
We stepped into the well furnished and designed parlour. There were a lot of paintings on the wall. I saw one which had an heading 'The Queen', i guess that's his mother. I could see the similar chocolate skin which both of them had in common. The mother had brown eyes instead
I guess it's not just purple and green, huh?
He stopped in the middle of the living room and so did i. He turned to Winston and asked if his mother was back from a meeting but she wasn't, so he led me upstairs
I thought we were going to the room i was going to stay in but he led to a library. I wasn't upset but at this point, i wanted a break from reading
"You are not meant to be here". Wow, that was straightforward. "Reminder, you brought me here, your high ness"
I kept my gaze as i sat down on the couch closest to me
"At least you are here and not out there. You can't be going into worlds and telling anyone where you are from, especially the world that destroyed harmony"
"What do you mean destroyed harmony" i immediately stood up. "I mean exactly what you heard or are you deaf now. You guys destroyed harmony". The way he talk so smoothly and without remorse, made me want to punch his well sculpted face. Punk
" You guys destroyed harmony but I'm not even surprised" That wasn't funny again. I sprung towards him in the speed of lightning and held him by his collar. I didn't care about the fact our faces were close but it was very close
"Enough with the shit coming out of your mouth and explain" i pushed him away also letting go of his collar.
"You must have heard of extractors before"
"Yes"
"Do you know that they weren't from your world?"
"Seriously?"
"Yes. They are from the multi verse"
"The multi dimensions"
"Exactly. But you guys killed all of them"
"Don't say you guys as if everyone was involved"
"But no one stopped the stupid hunter from doing it"
"Don't call him stupid"
"Why is that, because you are stupidly affected by it"
"Stop saying stupid" I wasn't going to let him talk like that about my world. I never really liked what they did but it was my world and he had no right to judge it
"Stu-pid"
That does it. I was about to tear his face apart but luck was on his side
Nicky flew in through an open window in the library with a quick move like she was about to do a surprise attack. If my face was close, i would have gotten a scar but it wasn't. Thank goodness
"Where were you, Nicky?"
"I would have said hiding if it sounded more befitting but let's just say camping" Nicky said still in the air
"Yeah because camping sounds more professional" i said sarcastically and turned around to face the werewolf but he looked kinda weird or was he looking at me with the weird look
Oh, i see. I'm kinda like the only one who can hear Nicky, so I'm sure i look like a crazy person right now
"Um. So as i was saying"
What was i saying? Oh no, it's what was i doing?
I moved close to him in one swift move. I pulled by his ridiculous tie towards my level
"Listen punk, you brought a stranger to your home. A person who destroyed peace and a person who talks to a dragon. That is how stupid you are, so before you call anything stupid again, look into the mirror to see your reflection first, okay?"
He pulled his face closer to mine. Was this dude a flirt or what
"Sure, pretty face" he said with a smile on his face before i could do anything else, the door swung open
Already knowing what was happening since i heard the footsteps a mile away, i let go of the dude and got a hold of Nicky and stuffed her in my bag. Sorry Nick. I looked at the woman who was by the door who was the same person in the portrait but i was expecting her to be wearing a ball gown or something but to my total surprise, she wasn't
She was wearing an all black outfit
She wore a very fitted long sleeve shirt with a similarly fitted long black jeans which brought out her splendid shape. She wore a black tall heel and her black straight hair was in a ponytail. And it's now i saw the Prince's outfit in a whole different way. He also wore all black. Black long sleeve, black jeans with a well polished black shoe and a loose tie but not from me dragging it but by his own intentions. His hair was lying tenderly on his face and some were covering his face giving out that bad boy look. As if
"Hey mum, got my message" the werewolf said walking up to her. "Yes, Tyler"
I guess the idiot's name is Tyler
"Is this our new quest?"
"Yes mum"
"What's your name, honey?"
"Vicky" said the werewolf, i mean, Tyler
"Awwnn. What a pretty name for a pretty face"
The fact that she was similar to Tyler made me almost like her lesser now
"Yes, I'm Vicky. Nice to meet you". How did prince charming over here know my name. Oh yeah, i stupidly told him. Now i think I'm stupid
" Nice to meet you too darling. You are welcome to stay as long as you want coz it's not safe out there for a power being, so make sure to be safe, okay?"
"Yes. Thank you". Okay i take back my words she is pretty cool at least better than Tyler in a lot of ways and also similar
Whyyyy?
