His Little Fae

Saccharine Showers

I pulled away from my mother to glance up at the man, taking note of how he wasn't the only unfamiliar person in this room.

Everywhere I looked there was another animal, all of them carrying weapons of their own. Guns loaded with bullets and perfectly forged swords, all prepared to serve their purposes.

We were surrounded.

I watched as Alexius finally broke away from the man who held him and rushed towards the center of the room, where we all stood, surrounded by the limp bodies of our court. "Are you alright?" he immediately asked, looking me up and down as though he were searching for injuries.

"I'm fine," I replied softly, my eyes still searching the throne room. "Father, what's happening?"

My father looked down at me, his pale white strands of hair falling in front of his face. He leaned down, his hands landing on my shoulders. "Do you remember how we spoke about the mistakes people often make?"

I nodded my head, waiting for him to continue. "Well, one of our own may have committed a grave sin."

"But that has nothing to do with us!"

Father shook his head, his face serious. "The royal family represents the people, Alexandria, you must always remember that."

I wanted to argue, to tell him that I didn't understand, and have him explain it again until it could process within my mind. But it was too late.

We had all been gathered here for a reason. Every member of the Sparrow bloodline, and all of my father's ranking advisors.

But why? Why was this happening?

The answer to my question came a moment later when two men walked through the doors.

They smelled just like the others. That same scent that was unique to werewolves. But one of them had this strange aura of power, parallel only to my father.

"King Artemis," my father bit out, the sudden anger and bitterness in his tone surprising me. "What is the meaning of this?"

The King glared back at my father, his pale blue eyes unrelenting. And the man who'd walked in with him, shared the same look.

I'd never seen eyes so bright in my life. They were so blue, the color wrapping around his dilated pupils, almost prepared to overtake them like an ocean wave with the warm sands of a beach.

The two men looked very similar...

Their only clear difference was their rank.

"Alexandria!"

I looked around when I heard an unfamiliar voice calling my name, my brows furrowing in confusion as everything suddenly became distant. The figures of my mother and father blurred and twisted until they were completely unidentifiable, and the image of myself in a ball room slowly dwindled into complete and utter darkness.

***********************
I awoke with a start, my heart beating so fast I could barely even catch my breath. And the first thing my eyes caught sight of was that same bright cerulean blue, parallel only to the oceans magnificent hues. They were swirling with genuine concern as their owner held me tighter in his embrace.

It was only then that I remembered what I had been dreaming of.

Another vision, huh?

He must've woke me up when he heard my heartbeat speeding up as I was forced to recount the worst memories that my mind holds in its deepest, most constrained chambers.
