Kaltain Leiya That was all he said to me. He didn't give me any more details and I couldn't bring myself to ask them of him. We simply sat on the grass in silence, staring at the same moon but living in completely different worlds. “Would you like to join me for dinner?” He mumbled absentmindedly. Again, it wasn't much of my choice as he made it seem. My life at Kaltain revolved around him. It was either him or spend solitude hours in my bedchamber. “I would love to.” I sounded way more interested than I should have. He raised himself up using his hands, clasping them together when he was on his two feet. When he was done, he stretched out his hand towards me. Anywhere I needed to be, I needed him to get there. I took his hand and he helped me up. For some reason we didn't immediately teleport. Not letting go of my hand, I looked into his eyes and he looked into mine. I desperately wanted to look away, but I couldn't bring myself to. His eyes were mesmerizing. The sof

Kaltain Leiya Helion had been gone for a few days and as a result, I had not left my chambers for the period of time. I would eat, read and sleep. When I slept and I didn't have the same violent dreams I was used to, I would dream about Nayla. I would dream about her telling me stories of her life at Hepthan. She would sit on my bed, and we would talk at length and laugh at her stories. Whenever I had those types of dreams, I didn't want to wake up, but I always did. Whenever I was awake, I would think about Helion. I would imagine what my life would be like if he never returned. Would I be sent back to Hepthan or would I be let to go free? Above all, would I ever get to see Nayla aside from in my dreams? I had read all the books Helion gave to me and began reading them again. Sometimes I would imagine myself in the shoes of any of the characters that appealed to me. I was living through my own imaginations. As instructed, Calin brought me food at different times of the day.

Kaltain Leiya “I think Calin doesn't like me.” It was a childish thing to say but I said it anyway. “Why do you say so?” He asked after responding with a light chuckle. “Well, when you were away, anytime I asked about you, he would always give me a straight answer that doesn't actually answer my question.” He chuckled again. “And when I begged him to let me out of my chamber, he outrightly refused." We had finished breakfast and he asked that I follow him to a room within the castle. “He was simply following my orders. If anything had gone wrong, I would hold him responsible.” It sounded fair but I still was not convinced that his attitude was solely just following orders. We continued to walk through the castle halls until I could barely recognize the castle anymore. It seemed like we were in somewhere new. After a few more steps, I realized I had never been to this place. I noticed a big portrait on the wall. It was the portrait of a woman. I fair, beautif

Kaltain Leiya The loud, annoying sound of tools hitting against each other woke me up from my sleep. I slowly sat up, rubbing my eyes to see what was going on. I glanced outside my window to realize it was noon already. The book I remembered reading was lying beside me. I must have fallen asleep while reading. I looked up to find where the noise was coming from. My eyes noticed Helion standing at the center of the room, watching a few men work with tools. On closer look, I discovered they were breaking down the door. “What are you doing?” I mumbled as I walked towards him after I climbed down by bed. “It's about time you got up.” he said as he turned to me. “I'm replacing the door with one you can open.” As soon as I heard his words, every bit of sleep disappeared from my eyes. I snapped my head in his direction. “What?” “Did you lose your hearing in your sleep?” I knew I wasn't expected to respond to that so I remained silent, watching as the wooden door was b

Kaltain Leiya Seconds later, I eased into the kiss and soon enough, I wanted more. He gently jerked my body closer to him, kissing me with so much passion, it was almost impossible to keep up with his pace. When my eyes opened, I noticed we were still in the middle of the hallway. Maid came and went. I knew they noticed us but none of them had the guts to look at us or turn back after they had walked past. I felt a little embarrassed but he kept working his way around my tongue, it was hard to care about our surroundings. His hands traveled behind my neck and into my hair. He cupped my head with his hand, pushing me closer to him, and my lips further into his. To inch closer to him, I raised myself on the tip of my toes. As soon as I did so, his other hand travelled around my waist, softly crashing my body against his. My thoughts were in complete disarray. A part of my head and body wanted more of him. To submit to him my entire being. The other part of me wanted to get away.
