Finding You

Chapter~~18

            “This is my Myx” he said in a darker voice than his usual. “You shall respect her and protect her as your own. So I command” he said. All the Demons put their right fists over their hearts and bowed. But it wasn’t to Lucas, it was to me. I began to feel happy and a smile spread across my lips. “Tonight we gather in her honor.” As soon as he said that the room broke out in clapping and cheering. We stood there for a minute before Lucas led me away. We stood off to the side.

            “You did this for me?” I felt so touched that tears threatened to spill over. I pushed them back and gave Lucas a kiss. We were cut short when a Demon and a Myx walked over to us. The Demon bowed once at Lucas and then at me. He didn’t say anything after he bowed to me. He just looked at me with scared eyes. I heard Lucas’ voice whisper in my head ‘He is waiting for you to nod and accept his bow. He does not have permission to speak with you until you do.’ I nodded my head and the Demon’s eyes relaxed.

            “I am thankful to be here. You look very beautiful in that dress. This is my Myx Margret.” I looked over at her. She was taller than me with dirty blond hair and hazel eyes. She smiled at me and I return it.

I want to ask Lucas a question but I don’t want to say it. I wish I knew how to use my telepathy. Lucas had been trying to teach me how to use it but I hadn’t been able to put anything into his mind yet. I tried to concentrate on Lucas. The Demon began to talk with Lucas and I began trying to speak with him.

            ‘Lucas do Myxs have to bow to Demons?’  I waited a few moments but he didn’t answer and I took it that he hadn’t heard me. I thought harder, only thinking about him. My brain suddenly felt warm and I thought my question again.

            ‘Navia you did it. You put your thoughts in my head. I am so proud of you.’ I felt it too, there was nothing but warmth and happiness coming from him. ‘And the answer to your question is no they do not unless the Demon ask that they do or if Myxs are in front of the queen’ he thought back.

            ‘Who is the queen?’

            ‘That is a conversation we will have tomorrow. That needs to be spoken, and tonight we shall be busy’ he said huskily. A shiver ran up my spine and I really wanted to push this Demon out of the way and tear off his clothes.

            Can Lucas control my emotions?

            ‘I cannot control them but I can make you feel a certain few just with a thought.’

            Oh I hadn’t meant for him to hear that.

            ‘You might want to go back to your own mind then because I am hearing all of this.’

            ‘How do I do that?’

            ‘Think of being cold and the warmth that is in your mind is not there.’

            I did as he said and the warmth left. I thought something and Lucas didn’t respond. Good I don’t need him to know my every thought.  The Demon talked some more with Lucas before leaving. I looked around the room and saw a familiar face. Ryan was standing off the side with two Myxs.

            “Lucas look it’s Ryan” I pointed out. “He was a friend of mine at the institute. I wonder how he is.”

            “His Demon will eventually come talk with us, and he will be with him when he does.”

            “Wait, are all the Demons and their Myxs going to come talk to us?”

            “Yes they will come pay you tribute. Mostly in respect to me.”
