Fairy Guardian - Carson Ch25

After Damien got the message, he took off, and Stanley showed me to my bedroom. Not even looking around to the castle as he was leading up the stairs to the upper floor or down the hallway. I was falling asleep on my feet. He opens the door to a large room. Its massive, probably takes up 4-bedroom lengths. Must be the master. Cannot think anymore, beelined it straight to the four-poster golden metal bed adorned with black bedding. Got right in, put my head to the pillow and fell asleep immediately. Could hear the door shut softly. 

Then Hal was there. 'Hal!'

""I love you, Carson. I am sorry I did not stop you. I came to you almost minutes after you left but dickhead took you away. Please forgive me. I will never leave you again. And just so you know once I have you back, you're not leaving my sight." 

The words every girl would ever want to hear. I felt lighter, stronger, and surer of my feelings toward him. Carrying these unknown feeling for him, felt like a huge weight I am carrying, then seeing him and saying the words made all the weight come off. Like the truth set a part of me free. My mother installed in me that I would never be enough for anyone. Her words no longer ring true in my world any longer.

Could not remember what I said back to him, but it did not matter. Hal loved me. Wanted me.  The kiss we shared showed our love. The spark became transformed to a rainbow of an electric pulse. 

Noticing we were in some kind of violet haze, and his blue flame, was now a violet inferno. Hal was magnificent. Just when other things were getting heated it ended. Bummer. Woke up alone back in my bed. Plopped back on my pillow looking up to the ceiling made of stone. Was it a dream? Bringing my arm up and turning over my wrist with his tree of life batman signal he placed on me. No more a blue sign but violet one, touching it with my finger. The violet flame reached out for my finger. A thrill ran though me, delight of butterflies in my stomach. Felt like being kissed for the first time.

Smile spread across my face. No dream but real. Carson found love. Missing him already comes across my brain, and the next moment Hal comes across like he talking on a cell phone. Except no phone, just brain to brain contact. 

"Carson. Do you need me?" Warmth is felt through me. Stretching my limbs from this primal need for him. Touch me. Carcass me once again.  Noticing for the first time what I am wearing, I seem to have transported Hal's T shirt on me.  Must have dosed and my last thoughts of him before sleep claimed me. Oops. 

Decided to send him an image of me wearing some new violet lingerie. Heard his groan and exhale. How is this possible? Don't care. Now, I feel safer, knowing he is a thought away from me. 

Just then my door burst open and scared me. Shrieking. Hal say, "What is it, Carson. Are you Ok?" 

Two familiar twins come in and jumping on my huge bed that could fit twenty people. They are beaming with pride. Both started talking at once, "Hal is King!" "Our family lives" "Saved" "Damien not so bad." "Mother wants to meet you." "Damien is hot." 

I was saying in my mind to him, laughing, "I am fine. Twins are here telling me. Alot at once. Busy here at the castle?" Another warm caress and chuckle from him, Hal says quickly, "I have to go. See you soon." 

Can this be happiness? True happiness. Friends come jumping on your bed. Your boyfriend sends you text messages of love via fairy brain transport. This girl is winning. Finally. Happy bubble is huge. Deciding I don't have to be defined by my past, all I have is right now. Live Carson. Live. No excuses. 

"Okay. Okay. One at a time," with a teasing tone in my voice. They don't look like prisoners. Ember still has her lab coat on with some cute orange high heels. Lily is wearing a bohemian dress with sandals.  Twin talk was happening as their gazes at locked in private conversation. They must have decided Ember will do the talking. 

"A tornado of light magic was felt throughout the kingdom. Did you feel it, Carson? It can only mean one thing," looking again at each other than me.  "Hallious is King." All the pieces finally clicked in place, why his blue flame was now violet.  Feeling of utter contentment came over me and gave the twins my scoop, including having fairy text talk in my brain space.  

"That means you are now in full Annin Trails again. It might have torn apart if you would have been separated longer. Even a day could have severed the connection you two shared." Thinking back to the club with Damien and him bending down to kiss me with a spark. 

All of sudden a wave of anger carried to me from Hal. "What! He touched your lips and more? I will kill him. Dead man walking. Dream guy is finished." Before he would get any more al macho, I said "Hal. I was confused by your rejection of me. Yes, he took advantage of the situation. But Damien's kiss felt more like a snake bite than our extra sparkly kisses. Damien kiss is like comparing a cool breeze, to a dip in a pool on a very hot day." Sent him images of exactly how I would like to kiss him this very minute. My dragon was holding back his flame. Was listening at least. 

In a much softer male voice, Hal tried to articulate his feelings, "Do not let him touch you again. I mean it Carson. With my King magic. Just please do not let him touch you. Promise me." At least he was not holding out fingers and dictating to me but asking nicely. "Hal, I want no one in this realm touching me but you." Warmth was sent in the form of our flames intertwining around me. 

"Look Lily. Their individual fires can reach them, even while being separated by miles. Interesting. Carson, I will need a blood samples, brain scans, and saliva..." pausing and then saying, "Of course when we are able to go back to the lab at the Palace." Rat in the cage came to mind. But no one could burst my love bubble right now. Not even the threat of being treated like some kind of test subject. 

"Are you talking to the King now? Can he feel what you feel? How does it work?" Ember had so many questions before I could begin to answer her, my door bursts open a second time and left open. Covering my naked legs. Acting casual if it was Damien or someone else. Smoothing my hair down and rubbing the satin silky texture of the comforter. Why was I nervous? 

My bedroom did feel like Grand Central Station. A fairy with Lily's hair and face ace couple years older came in carrying a tray of food that she sent down on a table on the side wall.  Smells of fresh baked bread, warm tomato soup, and some kind of apple pie. Stomach grumbled. 

Next came a dapper gentleman with apron that said, 'Grill Master,' carrying flowers in a vase. Deciding to set it down next to the food. Both were restless with hands coming up and down their servants' clothes, then glancing from the twins to me. Thoughts were clicking quickly. Really evaluating the newcomers' appearance then at the twins. NO WAY. Shut the front door. Tears coming freely. Their family is alive. 

Grabbing the girls and hugging them as they cried. Then their parents joined us on the bed. These fairies were friendly. After living in the human world, were everyone would rather avoid you than talk to you. This was a very nice surprise. More friendlies from fairyland. Excitement and joy coming from my vocal cords, "You're here looking at the older couple. Wait. Did Damien. Are you prisoners or worse. Slaves?" Anger surfaced. All of them sighed and then smiled at me like would we be here if we were owned or otherwise. Which allowed me to chill a little. Lily decided to fill me in.

"Long ago, a plague was sweeping throughout the fairy realm. The royals were caught up trying to prevent the spread, but our village was going to get brushed away. This certain plague is called a fairy dust fire. Which comes every once in a while, to restore a balance to our magic land. Anyway, Damien got word it was going to take out our whole village. He came just in time, and all of the village was saved by his actions. Except my sister and I were away at the time, so when we were returned it looked like the village was disserted. A dust fire does not take the land only its people." 

Sadness was circulating the room, with what ifs and should ofs, carrying the weight on the parents' and twins' shoulders, "My parents never knew we survived. Hallious found us and took us to the Royal palace. Anna took us as servants when we reached adulthood. Until." suspense hung there. Dramatic pause in the movie. Their mother answered,

"Damien saw them and knew they were ours,' wiping tears from her eyes. The twins' days says, "Damien is a savior in our eyes. I got my girls back."  Each of them hugging each other once again. 

Yes, Damien's creepy needle draw at the club was gross. Disturbing. Some would say, sinister. Probably the very reason the fairies in this realm tremble and quiver in his presence or fears shakes their light souls when he is mentioned. Could the fairy realm have it all wrong about him? 

Those club participants signed a contract to be there, no one forced them. I see a family together because of his actions. Huh. Villain? Hero? Monster? Or just a dark fairy just trying to survive in this magical realm? 

Doing Hal's finger thing with myself. 1st. He is trying to save his sister. Yes, kidnapped me but a last resort for her safety.  2nd. He saves all the lost puppies of the realm like Stanley and Anna. 3rd. Has treated me with nothing but kindness and trying to get me to understand him. Why?  He actually cares how others view him? Not the mind of a killer. Now 4th. He saved a whole village from being slaughtered. 4 1/2 Via heist of yours truly, brought their daughters back to them. Finally, 5th. If I was not in love with Hal with all of my heart, no room for anyone else. I might have put my hat into the Shadow King's dating ring.

A rumbling and violet flames came over my body, like a very intimate touch, " Your mine only. End of discussion. He would be dead before your first date." Now full on having too much fun with him, "Hal. Do you think I would ever have anyone, when you, my King, are mine. Not a chance." Smiling dragon could be felt moving against me. I could definitely get use to this kind of flirting. FUN. 

But some things had to be said to the now Kind of the Fairy Folk, I showed him everything since being taken by Damien. Spots and all. No lies or half-truths will be between us. Could get the impression he was taken everything in like the ruler, I know he can be. Seeing things beyond what you think are true, to the actual truth. 

With a grumbling approval of Damien's actions but could tell the King still needed to sit down with Damien to determine where his loyalty lies. This fairy realm or his own agenda. "You are making me too soft Car. But. I would rather have you change me.  Before you I was walking around broken, alone, and miserable. Functioning on some level but a vaper compared to how I feel now. We will discuss more. Later, after your brought back untouched." Connection was again lost. 

"Don't worry. She is talking to her future hubby," Lily tells her parents. Her father pipes in, "The King?" Ember and Lily nod. "Oh, by the stars. We are jumping on the bed of the future Queen. Our utmost apologies my dear," trying to scrabble off the bed with swiftness of someone half their age. Giggling now fully, I grab them with my rainbow flame, lightest touch, "Please. I am new to this realm. And could really use all the family or friends, I can get." Hopefully, they can see my sincerity. Being with the King of the Realm will not be easy. His enemies will become my enemies. 

"Well, if we are to be your newest fairy family, my name is Martha and this handsome man is my husband, Vincent. But you can call him Vinny." Trying not to let anyone see I am in just a T-shirt, grabbed everyone hands and say, "Stronger together than apart." Since the door was open, someone else walks in. I look up and see a very pissed fairy.

"You piece of human trash. I saved you," points to her lusty chest. "I saved you to be my guardian. You were supposed to serve me. Me. And now what. Your to be Queen. Unfair. I hate you. I hate that you were ever born. You stupid bitch."  Anna comes barreling at me with a shade blade. My rainbow flame tosses the twins and their parents to the hallway. Before she reaches me, I see a flash, then look up.

"Hello Beautiful."
