Forgiving the Forgotten 8
Amenatsu has found the princess of Jerome, his purpose for living maybe?
CHAPTER 8: FALLING FOR AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
[AMENATSU'S POV:]
I had seen a pretty girl in the morning and I knew it was Ta. My heart almost stopped for a few seconds. She was a million times more beautiful than her brother. She was extremely pretty. Behind those contact lenses I wondered which color her eyes were. She had been writing a diary. I could read minds with a bit of controlled power that the prince had given me. The rest of the power was locked within me. And it would be released when I could fully unleash the black dragon in me. This in turn could happen only when the black dragon found its life source from someone other than me. And I had no interest in finding the other life source.
I had to find Ta and do the things which the prince would have wanted me to do. Like getting her married off to a good guy. God. How was I supposed to accomplish that?
Then we, as in me and my officials, started tracking her life source. I talked to her guardian who said she was going to another continent with his cousin. I don't think she was comfortable with the idea. Anyway, I was not allowed to see her. And I had to leave without seeing her.
Then I had to stay put in the hotel room for the night. The people were almost the same as on my home planet. I felt discomfort. An intense feeling which reminded me of everything unpleasant.
Since I could not sleep, I went walking in the early morning. I could sense Ta nearby. But my tracking abilities were messed up due to the feelings in my head. And I continued walking. When I felt worse I started getting lost in the city. I wanted to walk along the way to Ta's college. Great. I didn't even know where that was. Oh... and I had forgotten which way the hotel was. So... I was in deep shit.
A crowd had gathered there. And Ta's presence increased though her energy levels seemed absent. Could it be... no.... I had to find her. And fast.
By the time I reached there, someone was dialing the hospital. Ta was lying face down on the pavement and a lady was stuffing her books in her bag. A locket lay on the ground. I bent to pick it up.
"Hey... where do you think you're going with the girl's locket?"
I didn't say anything and turned Ta over.
I gasped. All I could say was- Taeen....
She had a fever. Poor thing.
"I'm taking her to the hospital."
My eyes must have flashed for they realized I was not human. And gave me way to carry her and her things off to a hospital.
It was easy to find the hospital, reading it from an onlooker's mind. The hospital was very big. Officials from Jerome were waiting for me. They had told the hospital of my being king. And no one asked me anything as I laid Taeen on the bed. The doctors fussed over her for a while as I waited outside with her bag. It had books of paper just as described in the file on Earth. And there were laser like things which were not laser but wrote on paper. The locket was a trinket. Inside was a small stone. And I immediately sensed what it was. It was a stone from Jerome.
When I was finally allowed to sit near Taeen I crumbled, her mind held too much of fear and her heart was very young and naive. I think I talked to her most of the time to her. Without her knowing it.
Her lovely brown hair spread beneath her head like a soft mane. I saw that her contact lenses had been discarded. I had a very strong desire to see the color of her eyes. But I controlled myself. Somehow, my heart called her Taeen and not Ta. Her eyelashes were thick and her lips were... no... I shall not think about her physical appearance any further. She will have to belong to someone else in the end. I cannot... should not... fall in love with her.
Taeen was being unnaturally shy with me. I understood that I could not understand as easily as her brother allowed me to understand him.
God... this would be a tiny problem. Luckily for me, I had learned occlusion. So I could guard my mind from her. Alas! She could not. Here my sinister side gave a wicked smile.
Taeen slept most of the way to the hotel. It wasn't exactly home but I would have to manage things in such a way that she got at least a few months on Earth. And I also had to leave her for small intervals in between... Jerome had a lot of work piling up for me. Sigh.
As I looked out of the sleek car, which was much backward than those on Jerome, I saw Taeen's reflection fall on the mirror and her hair and her face started working havoc with me.
Control Amenatsu control. It was a long way to the hotel. The car gave a jerk and Taeen settled in her place, my heart clutched as she stirred. Wouldn't she talk to me? Guess her brother's death was a big shock. Who should I be to her? A father? A brother? A lover?
The last one was very appealing. But it just wasn't possible. It hurt to think that way. So I chose something in between. A way by which I could hope for her to select me. To know me more. A chance to love me. A chance for me to love her.
What the hell was I thinking. I would be her friend. I'll always support her. No matter what. But not on the wrong things.
Little did I know that things wouldn't be that way. That she'd turn everything around. And that I would breathe again. And that I would lose myself. Again. That I would destroy myself being with her.
She held the other life source, as I realized in a few days. And the powers prince Washita had left me, were being pushed into me without my control. And the black dragon overpowered me. And I had to constantly fight it. Because the other life source had no idea that I needed her to balance out the dragon. It wasn't my darker side or anything. Just that, it was very violent and very exhaustingly strong. Though Taeen never came to know about her status in my heart, I had nothing to do but learn to control myself. My unlucky little dragon.
