AN ENCHANTING KISS
" Save you? Why'd you think I would come here to save you? I only came here to watch you burn." He spoke non-chalantly, then appeared a popcorn in hand and started eating from it.
Kimora was caught gobsmacked. Her eyes widened to their limit.
Prince Eric suddenly ran in and sent his sword flying to a gourd above Kimora's head. The gourd broke, making the water in it to splash all over her.
It killed the fire, then she felt weak and started going down. Prince Eric got there on time and caught her in his arms.
He was boiling with anger at Damon, but turned to Master Chaos first.
" Prince Eric, you are not allowed to interrupt the tests, it's needed to know whether she's a supernatural or not." He told Eric.
" It's over. You can't keep on with these senseless and tortorous tests, I won't just stay back and watch you continue." Eric retorted.
" A non-supernatural can't last for more than 24 hours in this realm, and Kimora has been here longer than that. You don't need any damn tests to prove anything." He said further.
" A student can't remain in this Institute without showing any signs of having powers. It's unacceptable!" Master Chaos protested.
Prince Eric glared daggers at him, and he rested his case grudgingly.
He turned to Damon with a disappointed look.
" You had the chance to save her from this torture. Why'd you choose to stand there and watch her burn wickedly? Why!" He fired.
" As long as she's still in this Institute, she'll know no peace. I'll make her pass through the seven gates of hell and possibly, into the sun. I won't let her rest for what she did to me." He swore non-chalantly.
" You're such a heartless jerk." Eric muttered.
" But you're heartless than me, brother, and you know that." Damon smiled crookedly, and Eric went mute.
He walked out on Damon without another word.
Hester pinched herself hard on seat as she watched Prince Eric walk away with Kimora in his arms. She badly wished she was the one being carried by him right then.
Damon fell weakly to the ground after he left, groaning because he could feel how Kimora felt. He vanished afterwards.
Hester stood and walked up to Master Chaos fastly.
" You can't just let that girl be in the Institute without taking the necessary tests, it's not fair." She argued.
" Let her be, I'll find another way to get rid of her completely." He said.
GIRLS' ROOM
Celestia stopped feeling pains ever since Kimora left. She was feeling stronger and healthier than before.
She stood in front of her water tank and tried using her powers to bend the water. The water rose up, and she dropped it back into the tank without spilling a drop.
" My powers are back." She muttered with joy, smiling gleefully.
" Something's fishy. How could your powers suddenly be back right after Kimora left?" Diane thought loudly.
" Stop being spicy over her. It's just a coincidence." Celestia said.
" How could you say something like that is just a coincidence? You lost the use of your powers ever since you found her from that ocean, you should've just let her drown. When we were fighting earlier, I didn't mean to turn into a pterodactyl, I was planning on turning into a bigger human, but she brought out the beast in me. She's bad news." Diane accused.
Celestia stared into space, trying to reason over Diane's words.
" Yes, it was truly since I found her that my powers stopped responding, and it started right from the time I tried to heal her. I remember trying to ask how she landed into the ocean, but I never really got a answer. Strange things also happened that night when I tried taking her out of the forest." Celestia thought.
" There's definitely something up with her that she refuses to tell us about." She blurted.
" I told you that we should've killed her. It was a big mistake bringing her into the Institute." Diane said, and Celestia gave her a 'look'.
" Let's just find a way to make her spill the beans about what she really is, and where she's from." She said.
ROYAL PALACE OF EUPHORIA
Eric brought Kimora into the palace, and she was looking bad with the burns on her skin. The maids and guards he met on the way tried assisting him, but he told them he could handle it on his own.
He took Kimora into a room and closed it before any busybodies could peek in, then gently laid her on a king-sized, soft, luxuriously royal white bed.
Of course it had to be royal. Everything in the room was glimmering like diamonds and riches.
He only had to apply a special lotion on her body and treated her scars and burns professionally with it. He did the job so well like he had been doing it his whole life.
All the marks on her body disappeared in an instant, leaving no traces and she became healed.
He kept the lotion and went closer to her face. The distance between them became dangerous, and the surrounding air turned so tense and tempting.
He removed a hair strand from her face and kept holding her face, staring at her intently.
He gets charmed by her face everytime he looked at her that way. She looked so alluring, and he could imagine himself on her lips already.
The temptation turned so real as his eyes went down to her lips, and he thought of doing it for real. He appreciated how soft & plump her pinkish lips looked and lost his senses, closed his eyes and leaned in.
He regained his senses the second he was about to really kiss her and retracted from her, breathing in relief.
That was a dangerously close one.
" F**k." He muttered, standing from her.
He went to the door and stopped to take a last glance at her.
" Sleeping beauty." He smiled lightly and left the room.
He met two maids on his way out. They stopped walking and bowed respectfully.
" Your Highness." They greeted.
" There's a young lady in that room. Do well to take care of her and change her into something more decent, I want to see her looking better when I come back. Make sure nothing happens to her." He told them and left.
The maids raised their heads and stared at the Prince till he was out of sight.
" Is she his supposed fiancee?" One said to the other.
" Of course, what were you expecting before? She's so pretty." The other smiled, then they left their spots.
