I have been running, panting in the woods. Everything seemed foreign to me.
I look form left to right while running. Everywhere was eerie and somewhat quiet. So what was I running from?.
I grip the hem of my gown firmly, scared I may fall. Looking below me, and strangely the floor is not filled with sand. The surface of the earth. As it should, but it is filed with ice.
How?.
My breathing quickened. What is going on?.
Did the ground freeze?. Is that even possible?.
No that's not. My surrounding does not feel or look like the palace.
Neither does it look like the kingdom of Meth.
The kingdom!, where is Ares?. Why am I running alone?.
I am so terrified! Am I dreaming?. Am I not?. This feels so real.
Oh heavens. Can't I stop running?. I want to but I cannot just bjng myself to stop running. .
Especially when I dont know who or what I am running from.
I think it is safer to keep it like this, keep running.
Suddenly, before me is another being-no not another being. But me, I am running in two. How?. The same person-me-but with faster speed and stronger passion I can feel it.
It was like a new wave of power filled me. It was like I am a new version of me. But not me but the version is inside of me.
I observed my stronger version as she attacks the creature that is running after me, filled with so much energy it was tearing apart so violently. Growling and hurtling towards me from beneath the ice.
She shut her eyes, embracing to drive the chill out of her body, and leapt to her right, only to have the creature follow her. I panicked, but my other version does not seem to faze.
But I screamed in panic. "Is it after me?". I muttered,my eyes widening.
I screamed in horror, when I am faced with two gigantic creatures. Very dark, and huge. It is neither a lycan nor is it a warewolf.
It has not only fangs but very huge claws and red piercing eyes. Its movement broke the ice.
I am frozen in place.
Please If I am dreaming I need to wake right now.
The first creature neared me. And it was about to smash me before my other version took control and could suddenly feel the new wave of power radiating through me . I did not know how but i managed to bring down the first creature.
I did the same to the second creature without thinking.
And I am left with my other version.
She smiled at me.
"I am you. I am not your enemy. The ice is". She says.
I blinked once and stroke a nod. Ofcourse we're the same with the looks but I definitely do not possess this much abilities. Yes I am powerful and I am a witch.
But this type of power?. "We are the same person?".
I half whisper_half scream.
"Yes Avalon. I am you and you are me. All you have to do is unleash me." And she is suddenly gone.
"Wait!. Wait, how!please wait!"
"Avalon wake up, please" I open my eyes to meet his emerald ones.
Was I dreaming?. Oh my!. I was. It felt so real I can still feel the power surging through me.
"You almost burnt our bed. It is a good thing I am cold. I have the power to ice fire". She chuckles.
"ICE!" I was running on ice. And he could freeze fire? And my other version said my enemy is ICE?!
"You seem startled. Are you okay?. You are burning up seriously. I will call Penelope to help okay?."he says, kissing my temple before he hurries to the door to find Penelope.
He seemed really concerned for me.
And he is my enemy?.
Why do I keep asking myself. I already know that. I am suppose to hate him. And destroy him.
When did I become so soft.?
Maybe that other version is my true self.
I just need to unleash her.
I am not sure how but I must.
After all this while, i have hoped Ares is not my enemy. But it seems that is not true.
"Your majesty, his majesty says you are burning up, and that you are not feeling well. I have set up the bath for you.
"What is the temperature of the water?'". I ask Penelope, my voice crooked. "Lukewsrm your majesty,may I?". She says helping up.
"No I am good thank you". I being to strip as I ran towards. The bathroom not allowing any maidens in . I just need some alone time. I need to think for myself .
Without obstruction. If I am going to formulate a plan, Ares does not have to know about. Especially when the plan is against him.
I dont know how to explain this but it is not possible that Ares is an enemy of mine but I cannot ignore the fact that my true version want me to believe in myself.
So henceforth I will just go forward with my plan. To make him not suspect anything . I shall betray him.
But I am in too deep. How am to betray the man I have fallen for.?
I am his mate for heavens sake.
It is going to be so hard to listen to my inner self.
"What is he betrays you before you even do?' My inner thought questions.
I sigh, this is such a backfire. What drastic turn my plans has made.
I could just avoid the fact that I am in love with him. But not the mate bond.
It is simply impossible.
Teaching my index finger on my neck, I could feel the want and need to be near him. Just to feel his touch. Just once, just to have his hand all over my body,I cannot imagine how it will feel like when he is on top of me.His mouth on every inch of my body, while he whispers sweet things to my ear as his finger traces my- Oh Heavens, i am fantasizing about my potential enemy.
I groan loudly, I hate how pathetic he makes me feel.
This sexual tension between us is very hard to ignore. We cannot keep denying our feelings and cravings. Well, me especially, I dont know how is holding up, because he is the one with the beast who thirsts for sexuality.
"Ava?". I am brought back from my train of thought by his soft baritone voice. I can feel the need for him growing stronger at the moment, through every inch of my body.
Oh heavens.
"Yes?". I reply, my voice betraying my attempt to sound cool.
"Dammit I can smell your arousal from here, you may have blocked me away from your thoughts but not your scent. So please help me here, else you want me to do sinful things to you. I dont mind at all." I could feel the restrain in his voice like he is trying to calm himself.
"Oh_i am so sorry". I replied in low tone, knowing he would hear me nonetheless, due to his high senses.
My cheeks are on flames. I did not know he is in the room. I thought he did not return here.
He chuckles loudly.
Gosh dang it, this is so embarrassing.
I quickly do my thing and put on my a robe.
Running back to the room, while avoiding him.
"I cant say ou should not fantasize about me. But can you.pease make it less obvious.?". He says his voice full of malice. I am do sure if I am facing him right now, he will be smirking.
Cocky bastard!. I screamed in my head allowing him to read my thought.
"Am I now?". He breathes in my scent, he is suddenly behind me. Dangerously close.
"You like to tease me little bird". Hun?Little bird ?.
His licks my neck where his mark is. And I let out a satisfied moan. Oh heavens there's no way I can resist this man.
I really have to stop before things escalate.
"Ares_please" I breathed out.
I could feel his smirk on my neck as he places open mouthed kisses on them.
"Please what?". He groans as he runs himself against my behind.
"Please_ah!" I squeak as he bite my earlobe.
"Want me to stop?"
He asks,"No-"!
