Chapter VII
(Daniel)
My body burned, is what I have done, I end up leaving my body was completely exhausted and sore, I could dimly make out the silhouette of Yue, was like an angel, the same angel that I thought it was when she entered the room this afternoon, leaned close to me, I put a cold cloth, looked sad, try to mumble something to find out what was happening, but it was impossible.
- Only whisper cause me problems.
On hearing a knot formed in my throat, I wanted to tell her not to worry about me, it was okay, but who cheated, when the minimum effort gave me a horrible pain, I still wonder as I could to avoid giving a howl when the spell possessed me, but I knew that whatever happened I would not give them the taste, it may be that pride off my mobile home in fact I have no idea, just ... I do not know what happened, but at least I got him a lesson to all Gruca, could have become their slave, but that meant he would accept his orders willingly fight to get away from them, with that last thought to roam unconsciousness.
A strong chest pain woke me up, I could not help moan, I realized that the cause was applying a substance Yue green.
- alas, hurting, more careful - I demanded, looking angry, then see their dark circles due up all night watching over me that I am, forgive me raw, I should not talk like that, but is that ... that thing gives me a lot of burning-add, trying to sound reasonable.
- Stop complaining, this ointment will help heal faster, "sigh - Why did something so stupid?, Interrupting the moment when the king was amused with the offering ... was unreasonable as I've seen ... we are talking about a simple breenum is going to heal anyway.
Each word that fell from his lips increased exponentially my anger, as he dared to say something so cruel, so heartless, as someone who spent the night looking after me was able to speak so lightly of the suffering of another living being.
- What could understand a monster like you?!
I repented after having acted, it was not his fault, not that I wanted to justify it, but their society and their principles if they did, were very different to what I was used to in my world but still, it hurt me to hear those thoughts come of it, could you change it?, Yue took off his lips, clearly for yelling, but it was the opposite.
- if I told you I'm half-whisper monster.
- What?
- hear me clearly, "said exasperated - what if I told you I'm half monster ... that runs through my veins also human blood like yours, would you still think the same of me? - Answered, I saw sadness in his eyes, as if expecting an answer to their replicas.
was stunned, first thought it was a joke, by repeating it convinced me that it was not, as such information could assimilate!, I realized I had taken a long time to give an answer and she started to leave.
- Of course it changes!, But ...- shout, still did not know how to tell what he thought about it without hurt-you you grew between Gruca is not it, as a "monster" I said it because ....- sigh, here we go "... because you care so little the suffering of someone as young as Alice.
- Young? - Ask, and watched his face confusion and fun at the same time, what was so funny? "Alice is seventy years.
- seventy years, that ... that's not possible! - Answer alarmed, she laughed at my reaction each time he did leave me breathless.
- Remember that we are immortal, "he said as if he were explaining to a child.
- Wait that means ... How old are you?
- Seventeen years what your master insolent? - Asked funny, apparently noticed the thread of my thoughts to imagine an elderly serving.
- I have twenty one ... I can not believe it to Alice.
- Well, let's leave that talk to here, the smile still covering his face - you need rest.
Following his council slept soundly. The sun's rays the next morning I woke up, I came across the surprise of Yue found asleep, was kneeling next to my face, a few inches of my arm, the study is felt uncomfortable, that view captivated me, it looked so quiet and peaceful, without realizing I was stroking one of her hair I stopped immediately, not wanting to wake her, let alone find me stroking it tenderly, in that, his eyelids began to move, and closed my eyes pretending to be asleep, I heard her complain slightly stretched and then approached, my heart was beating fast not just for the sake of being discovered, but also because of its proximity, was checking whether he had a fever, I could not stand it anymore and opened my eyes, topándome with theirs, seemed surprised, embarrassed to be found in fragrant.
-eh ... well, hesitation - you look good ... I mean, I shake his head, looked sweet, your wounds are apparently better, do you get up?
I tried, despite the pain, can sit, she looked relieved, bit his lip, I was nervous, this frightened me.
- You are right to think badly of me, what I said yesterday was sadistic, I apologize for my words.
That
me taken by surprise, never thought to hear you say something, acknowledged his error!, for it meant that a very important step.
- I accept your apology, "he said, but apparently not only that he cared about, is there something else I want to say?
She looked at me intently, and then divert your eyes, moving his hands vigorously, had to be a serious matter, do Tam was involved in their trouble?, Or maybe the offense I committed was the cause Each passing minute I despaired over, what was what was it?
- I'm sorry, let's blow-is that I was too selfish to become my breenum, just ... - watch his eyes shining, was on the verge of tears - forgive me?
As dared to ask me for forgiveness, after all that happened, everything that his people and she had done so, create a simple "sorry" it will erase all, never accept their excuses , ever, get hold of his arm violently, had regained some of my strength, I would not flee.
- This conversation is not over, "he hissed.
(Yue)
I had strongly pressed his arm, his face showed anger, rage, but I did not care that I was also angry, and although I could have easily released from prison, no I did, because the simple fact cause some harm in trying terrified me, but was hurt after he finally understood the magnitude of which had, he wasted in this way, I was naive to believe that the answer would be different, which I gladly accept my apologies.
Daniel seemed sorry for the abruptness of his last words.
- I ...
- Do not say it! - I broke, I was terrified to hear, but to recite what I thought was going to say "Do not say you have met me in other circumstances could have been friends.
- Yue ...
releasing lift my arm I do not want to hear no excuses, nothing to make me have hope that our relationship changed.
I send on my bed, cover my head with the pillow, wanted to forget everything that happened, in the distance hear the voice of Daniel, the more carefully I realized that screamed, jumped me up, their cries echoed throughout the house , it was strange that nobody came to find out what happened, it is most likely to believe that my breenum was punishing for his recklessness.
knew that at some point had to go back, I needed to check his injuries, but still I was not prepared; a heavy blow alerted me, sounded like a great weight ... collapse, I heard him groan, went quickly, I found Daniel the floor whispering my name.
- But you've done? - Prompted angry, I saw him blush, you felt angry at his outburst
- Yue, I would do anything to avoid hurt you, but I doubt one second ...- , thinking of whether or not to continue, take my hand-me stare ... but I can not lie to you, not when you're so honest with me - ended with a smile that's what I like about you "seemed so surprised at last, like me, despite being as nice to me that since we met had to remove it from the error.
- Only with you I'm sincere, "he whispered.
We watched without saying anything, the minutes passed, no one could look away from the other until a noise broke our connection, I woke up, before I go see Daniel's eyes, and saw that I begged them not to open but it was not possible, maybe it was the king or offering Roxanne their services, how wrong I was, because people who met me at the door was none other than Tam. I did this happen, expect their defense, but was limited to walking around the room finally stopped.
- Yesterday I should not leave you alone, it is normal to be angry with me.
- You're wrong - I thought quickly replicate your ...
- Yue ...- took my face in his hands, I could never spend much time angry with you, and ... How's the patient? - Wonder doubtful.
really cared about his welfare, I told him and his face reflected a mixture of anger and amusement.
- Okay, I admit, I'm not very interested in the welfare of your breenum, but, I pulled beside him, her hand resting on my waist - even though it pains me to admit it, how important is it for you, so consider that at least out of respect for you, should consult their health.
That left me without words, do not know what to say, while I struggled internally Tam I interrupted.
- But the real reason I came is because ...- deep breath, I was getting nervous, "I will fight for you" ad.
- What do you mean? "Asked shocked.
The situation was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, I wondered if Daniel would be listening, we approached until we were just a few inches of another.
- both know that the relationship between Daniel and you is far from that of a servant with his master, do not let it continue so! - Express strongly - You are my bride!, Why not let a newcomer you away from me.
- And how you plan to get it?
- Viniéndome to live here, "smiled maliciously introduce you to your new tenant, pronounced with a face that brooked no argument.
Then I kiss the crown and went, and I thought that yesterday the situation was uncomfortable, would not imagine what it would be Daniel and Tam under the same roof, not yet assimilated what had happened.
(Daniel)
When Yue was felt distracted back, I wanted to know the identity of visitors and the left, but did not want to disturb her more.
- With so sore I am, I would welcome the help of Roxanne-jokingly suggested, with the sole intention to lift the mood, but I saw the horror on his face, I knew had broken.
- Do not know what to say ....- angrily replied she would use any excuse in order to get something in return - seemed doubting his next words, never trust a Gruca or are in trouble.
- So I'm definitely in trouble because I trusted you.
- Well ... stop it! - Cry.
- Why? - Ask confused.
- For ...- said wryly as if laughing at a joke, and focused his eyes on the floor, and more would be added, because ... I do not want to disappoint.
- You will not.
- How can you be so sure! - Looked at me with her dark eyes inviting lost in them.
- I do not know, just ... I believe it will.
- Well, stop immediately disappoint-apparently was complicated by what was going to say - Tam henceforth live with us.
I got up at once, it caused a wave of pain through my body, what I was thinking Yue?, Analyzing best might be a good thing, and Tam would be secure and would avoid getting too close Yue.
- No contest.
- But who was asking you your opinion?, You just reported - exasperated sigh - now let me see status of your injuries.
Gently clean each of my wounds with soft hands, Unto the green substance, as he always did, he ordered me to rest, I like a good slave I ignored him.
been three days since the ceremony, my body was almost recovered, so did my hurts, my stomach growled demanding food, I got up and as if they had guessed my thoughts on the table was a tray of fruit with with other herbs, it was a great feast, but anything to starve, I approached slowly, Yue noticed my arrival, I just got a beautiful smile, which was looking increasingly more often.
- Glad to see you and you can walk, "said Yue finally I was valued, but I think you reach that conclusion too quickly, as she added - soon can I have your services in the collection.
Hear that exploded inside my little bubble, I did not getting around the issue and I concentrated on my breakfast, which has not changed since my time in this strange town. Tam
I was finishing burst in with bag in his hands, threw me so hard that I lost my balance, had crashed into the ground But for Yue, unintentionally end up in his arms, look at your face, this was contorted with fury.
- What do you think you're doing? Yue-rebuke.
Tam was still in the doorway seemed stunned, but his face gradually shared the same expression as that of Yue, anger, closed the door, apparently to prevent any unsuspecting hear the discussion was to come.
- What I'm doing? - Tam asked ironically, threatened really want to know - well I'll tell you, I was giving a lesson to your breenum, perhaps you do not realize that conscious too - River - obviously not right? He said looking at them both, I noticed that he was still in her arms, she realized the same thing, gently turn away, not wanting to leave, if he did I was overcome that feeling of loss, Tam seemed calmer after we parted, letting out a loud sigh, so I thought.
- You are a negligible breenum! - I cry - You will never be at my height and much less than that of Yue, so stop acting like a spoiled child and accept your reality, I will not any fault, because ...
- Basta! "Said Tam Yue-beam case you forgot Daniel is mine.
What did that mean?, Tam's words had taken me by surprise, but this was different, Yue was calling me, I ... I would not allow something like that, I am not an object which can be appropriated, I am a human, and as such would enforce my rights, but for the first time I did not get carried away by my impulses, let Gruca was in front of me settle their problems becoming a spectator.
- No need to remind me, "said Tam hurt.
- I mean ... - Tam approached, I take it out of hand, but note that there was still a trace of anger in her, "... is that if someone should be punished Daniel, that will be me - said, he had never heard that tone of voice so cold and calculating at the same time, including intimidated me, then pulled back sharply from Tam, but imprison her shoulders.
- I'm your fiance, and your like my girlfriend, you should not question me-sigh-when what I'm doing is to avoid problems-pronounced.
saw Yue chin tremble, is that he was afraid, perhaps Tam was hurting, I approached the only intention to leave that situation, but no scope to carry out my goal, because Yue is cast out the arms of Tam, which immediately responded to that momentum, without hearing a "sorry" come from the lips of my love, however I may be paralyzed, once I step away from there I wonder, I would definitely not be looking at this pair, made clear that was left over, I just thought about running away, not realizing I was in the forest .
(Yue)
- I'm your fiance, and your like my girlfriend, you should not question me-sigh-when what I'm doing is to avoid problems-pronounced.
not know what to say each had misinterpreted his words, the only explanation is that I had cut down by the fury, I did not see that Tam was trying to rescue a situation that was becoming increasingly more dangerous, many times over of my reflections reached the same conclusion "Daniel had to get away, but all my convictions vanished the moment he was in his presence, not as it got.
At that moment what I wanted was to breenum see me in this state of chaos, lose the little respect I had, why hide my face in his chest Tam, also because they did not want him would know how special it was for me.
- I'm sorry, "I whispered, addressing both Tam and Daniel.
There are many reasons why one should not be friendly with a breenum, much less be kind to them, ignore rules, but the main lesson was the reminder that my parents taught me. Since childhood I always knew they were dead, the reasons I was never officially revealed, so driven by curiosity to enter that room nine years ago, but now I realize that maybe that was an unnecessary action, because growing up I suppose the reasons, I learned that Gruca and breenum not mix, not only for being of different classes, since it would be humiliating for all Gruca, the lineage has a fundamental role in my town, but more insulting was that the collector to join with a human, the little information I have, I know that my father made it, did not make my mistake, I am glad that a little.
was in these moments where I want them with me, but more distressing is knowing that if I had not been born, perhaps he would here, and inevitably my mother had been killed, but at the moment they were no longer there necessary, perhaps I expected the same fate, being killed once my child is born, probably these were the king's plans for me, but did not have anything to prove, only assumptions.
I realized I was surrounded by the arms of Tam, and several tears flowed freely down my cheeks, then listen close the door, what was best, so give me time to calm down and recover.
not continue and for how long, until finally lift my chin Tam, stare at me as he wiped my cheek, on his forehead to mine, he promised to take necessary measures, did not know whether to thank or afraid to act actions take place, then left the house.
(Daniel)
Why come here? Unwittingly was in the place where I knew that was exactly the lunar flower, this place was full of memories, so it was not the right place Yue to get my thoughts, I should not have behaved that way, out like a coward, that was not my style, but that scene did not stop your stomach, what bothered me most was knowing that I could not do anything to prevent, Yue was free to do whatever I wanted, plus I'd leave soon anyway, but it was really what I wanted, abandon arms as Tam, as I did few minutes ago tenía que dejar de pasar en eso, debo concentrarme en mi objetivo que era largarme de este pueblo lo más pronto posible.
A lo lejos distinguí una figura, se trataba de un gruceen de eso no había duda, tense mis músculos, debía estar preparado para cualquier posible ataque, estaba expectante, aguante la respiración, la cual solté de golpe, porque me di cuenta de una cabellera blanca, la que se acercaba no era otra que Yue, se notaba pensativa, algo distraía también, tanto que casi choco conmigo.
- ¿Y tú que haces aquí? – pregunto desdeñosamente.
Hace tiempo que did not hear that tone of voice, from the moment we met, it was as if the little time we had ever known had happened, he perceived that respect vanished from the ceremony, did not understand, why he was behaving as coldly me?
- What do you hope to answer? - Added impatiently.
- I ... - I nervous, I was trying to find some excuse, well that was still dislocated by this new attitude - Flower ... looking lunar-answer, but immediately I realized that she did not believe me at all.
- You forget that only I can find, "said as if he were explaining to a child.
- No, but maybe by chance I can find it.
- That's impossible, "replied flatly.
- Want to try? - I saw a gleam in his eyes appear malicious, really going to accept my challenge.
- Okay, you have an hour to find it, and give you a clue - he shut his eyes, I perceive it-is trying to fifty feet around - said that he approached a rock and sat down.
I started to walk the field at least this site is relatively well known, would prove her wrong, is thought to resume my search.
passed the minutes, but still found nothing, and turned my view Yue, observe a smile decorating her face really was having fun, that I am happy, no matter what was the reason I was beginning to believe that during his childhood did not have much time for fun as it was doing now.
- Have you surrender? - Cry.
- What do you think? - Answer.
- I definitely think no, never forego something - or someone add mentally, she would be the first exception in my life - but I regret to say that you only have two minutes.
In that short time made a general survey, Where was I?, In that Yue approached, I knew the time was up, I felt frustrated, but she looked sad, it was strange, a moment ago and now happily laughing ... could not understand.
- family heritage is something only my family members can find it - he turned to me, give me an attempt to smile, I was trying to conceal his melancholy, would require you to tell me was wrong, but I refrained, because whatever the cause, which wanted was to remove old wounds, that I knew very well - You were very close - he said, cost me remember that I spoke I had lost my mind - I'll show you.
We went to a tree, which traveled only a few minutes ago, it was impossible, but then I saw that unmistakable flower, Yue take it in her hands, she definitely was right, it may sound strange, but it was as if the plant will only be shown to her, I gave a lot of laps around and not see, I'm sure I was very careful to find it.
As there was no other issue that we retain, we went to Yue's house, where we hoped Tam, this seemed angry, that increased when laid his eyes on me, then I see the flower, I think so calm that a bit, finally his eyes rested on Yue.
- We need to talk, "he said - alone.
did not want to leave, I wanted to find out what happened, who was so serious that it had disrupted Tam, hesitate a little, but finally decided to leave, regardless of whatever was not my business soon I go from here, should record that as a fire in my mind and in my heart, I went to my room.
(Yue)
Once Daniel disappeared from the place, I went to Tam.
- What happens? - Asked stroking his face, I feel it was tense in the muscles of his face, something terrible must have happened.
- Yue ...-sigh, looked away, but instead grabbed my hand come from the house of my father, and ... - he bit his lip, he was nervous - it was decided the date of our link.
abruptly released his hands, that could not be happening, when I made the deal promised to be "someday", undated, but said it would be in trouble, because obviously he would realize that played it and force me otherwise, I might threaten to hurt or even Daniel Tam, although it was his son, in order to get their goals knew no bounds, any decision to take none had a nice finish.
- It was your idea - answer, that was the only explanation.
- No, Rhiannon suggested - sorry whisper, seemed somewhat embarrassed.
- I suggested? - Ask puzzled.
- not what you think, "I add quickly, we were just talking to him about my future as a ruler, and then mention it would be appropriate for the link soon ... "would reply, but I stopped - ... the king is no fool, has noticed your closeness to the breenum.
- But the king's request that out soon, he gave no specific date.
- So you find it unpleasant to link to me? - Asked timidly.
- You know that's not what worries me, if I ... "I could not say if he did feel that my fears would become reality.
- Of course it is you and said calmly - I'm sorry I was a fool to believe otherwise, but I want to know that I'll protect you, I'll do anything to keep you safe.
said that I strongly embrace, as if afraid to lose, he wished fervently believe in his words, but Tam was right, then Daniel was in danger, although I did not like the idea, it would help my breenum to escape.
After that talk I went to my room, I had many things to think about, It was my duty to help Daniel?, My life would be easier if we just leave things as they are, but could not, my desire was to protect stronger than my rational side, maybe if you ask for help to Tam, together we could bring forward a plan, but promptly dispose of this idea, I could not engage in more trouble; I was desperate, I rolled on my bed, I felt the discomfort of my wings, that jerk, but ignore it immediately, because an idea formed in my mind, it was dangerous, yet it was the only option I had, with that last thought I plunged into the world of dreams.
The next morning I woke up, no longer as optimistic as the night before, the weight of what was done fell on me, but I decided to reject the feeling of guilt that washed over me, and Daniel helped a lot in this task, the single view I did confirm that what was about to do was the right thing, I could not leave him to his fate. Immediately observe a few small bags under their eyes, undoubtedly due to the lack of sleep, I remembered the words of Tam "I'll take care to inform your breenum to share a room, it is best you go to rest," now seeing the appearance of Daniel was wondering if there was been a good option is to leave Tam charge it, but this time there were more important things to occupy me.
- Where is Tam? - Asked anxiously.
- went out early, said he had some business to attend to and would return in the afternoon - replied annoyed.
This is my chance, am I doing the right thing?, then look at Daniel, I remembered how I endure this pain, I knew that regardless of our proximity, which would never be accepted by some Gruca, just need to remember what happened to my parents, and the King would get rid of it anyway, because Daniel had the potential to build a revolution within the breenum, I made my decision, I would do anything to keep it safe.
I left the beat of my residence, he ordered Daniel to follow me, definitely the forest was the safest place, it would also suspect that my breenum and I we were going there, we could always give the excuse that we were in search of the flower moon. We arrived at the lake, that lake that once I wanted to bring the look at me expectantly, it sensed what he had to communicate, did not want to turn me see my face as he said, yet I was ashamed, breathe deeply and started.
- help you out - I said quickly, my heart was beating loudly, I was nervous - there's a way, but you must trust me.
- I told you once, I trust you.
I took of the shoulders, and lightning is facing those deep brown eyes, I lost myself in them, move my hand caressing the contours of his face pero me aparte de inmediato de su agarre, no podía dejar que las cosas fueran más lejos.
- Yo….-titubeé, no me reponía de lo que acaba de pasar, al parecer a él también lo había tomado por sorpresa, porque movía sus manos sin cesar- yo tengo un plan para sacarte de aquí, así que escúchame atentamente -por fin tuve su atención- te enseñare a volar.
- ¿A volar? – pregunto escéptico.
- Si- afirme.
- Pero aunque consiguiera huir mi apariencia seguiría siendo la de…
- Un monstruo – complete, me sentí ofendida porque el seguía pensando así de mí-… lo sé, tengo la solución para eso, pero antes I need to learn to fly.
- Okay, but what I will ask in return?
- What change?
not thought about it, I just wanted to help, but now that you asked, I knew I could not miss this opportunity, I knew he would do anything to win his freedom, now I could test, because there something that only he could deliver me, my most coveted desire.
- In return I want you ... - I saw the anger decorating her features, not expected such a response appeared after all, they felt offended, but I continued - tell me things about your world.
Silence conducted, notice that he was baffled by my request, but how to explain something that was hidden in my heart for so long, and neither suspected Tam.
- You may wonder why I ask you something so insignificant? "I said, he just nodded - Because ... - I could not keep my eyes fill with tears - my mother was human, I do not have any recollection of it, or my father, but I at least know how it was their world, help me form an idea ... the only thing ... I just - do not support more and began to mourn.
Daniel approached me, hug me while I whispered words of comfort.
I welcome your comments, complaints, criticisms, death threats, all are welcome.
