CHAPTER 12
I moved a short distance from my house and saw the gorgeous horses. I stopped in surprise at their sheer beauty, Ian guided me by the elbow to a winged stallion.
"This is Fury, he is my personal stallion, we grew up together in fact." He explained to me, while I looked on awe struck.
"You can pet him you know." He smiled down at me. I stared at it askance, and noticing my look, he rolled his eyes.
"You should be grateful too you know." At my raised eyebrows, he continued.
"Fury is practically royalty, who knows when next you will get the opportunity to touch royalty?"
He asked with a roguish grin.
"Seems like one can't keep his hands off me right now." I returned, narrowing my eyes at the hand clasped around my elbow.
"Quite impertinent of you don't you think?" He asked, with an exasperated expression.
"Oh do not behave as if you do not vex me as well, your majesty." My ire rising.
"Oh for God sake, I didn't want to fight with you in the first place." He gritted. "You are simply intolerable."
I turned on my heel to gracefully stalk off in all my fury, when he caught my wrists and tugged me towards the stallion.
Still clutching my gloveless hands, and causing my heart to hammer out of fear I tell you, something he had no business doing. He carefully placed my palms under the nose of the humongous animal. I stayed very still, cursing him in my head.
Finally he decided he had done enough damage and released me.
"Go on then, you have wasted enough time as it is." He dismissed.
I stomped up to him." You." I stopped remembering his title, and stormed off to meet the others instead.
"Hey here is yours." Rose led a unicorn to me.
"Thanks, what's her name?" I asked Rose, her eyes widened.
"Storm, and she has a temper." Rose giggled.
" mine is called Calla. " Rose explained.
"A flower eh? Ain't that nice?" I mumbled. Her's was called something so mild. A flower, while I was given a horse named after a worst weather.
"Can you ride?" Sebastian asked coming closer.
"Is it anything like a normal horse?" I Asked in fascination.
"Just more trickier, they tend to squirm a lot." He advised.
"A test of grace and poise. Except everything has to happen on air?"I teased him.
"That's quite correct am afraid." He laughed.
After saddling, we got on our various mounts and with a shout, Ian proceeded to lead it.
We raced forward, then a screech and he was airborne. I stared as Sebastian shrugged his Shoulder. Bella looked over at me .
"Come on Bella!" I raised my shoulders taking deep breaths, we lauched ourselves into the air. Bella could already fly, as could the others. I was the beginner in their Midst.
After a couple of tries, I was finally stable. I stopped and sniiffed at the air.
"Over there." Sebastian interrupted pointing north, they all turned to me for confirmation, giving an affirmative nod, we all turned north.
We flew in an arc with me slightly in the lead, and Sebastian right behind me. Ian on my other side.
"This is exciting!" Rheanon laughed. And Rose nodded her head in agreement.
"When this is all settled, we should do this again." Alexander suggested grinning. He looked very handsome in the moonlight, inky black locks escaping from it's confines and blending with the night, black eyes gleaming.
"I am so scared to be honest, I have never done anything remotely dangerous before." Bella confessed, looking very pale.
Alexander leaned in, face ernest as he addressed her.
"I think you are bloody brave, all of you, and I am right next to you remember that." Alexander smiled softly.
"Damn, the bastard is always so cold its shocking to see him speak so gently." Ian laughed to Sebastian.
"I know, and I allowed him to curse so much at me thinking he didn't know better. Bloody bastard." Sebastian and Ian laughed.
I patted my hair, and was satisfied to find it in its perfect position. Rose locks were also looking perfect, despite the strong wind whipping it every which way.
I caught Sebastian staring at her in awe for the moonlight casted an halo above her head, making her look like the angel she is.
Turning her head, she caught him staring and her pink lips lifted up in a lovely grin. Sebastian immediately looked away, confused.
At the back Rheanon and Finnegan were engaged in discussion that had a lot of inappropriate words in it.
Levi was quiet as usually, flying with determination, his black braid swinging behind him with every motion. He was dressed in armor and as I studied his confident yet alert expression, I was thankful he was here and not these idiots around me.
"Are you scared too Rhea? do you seek comfort perhaps?" Finnegan asked, with a mischievous expression on his face.
"I would cut off my tongue before I ask such a thing of you." Rheanon spat back.
"Hmm, would you ask it of Levi then?" Finnegan asked, merriment in his eyes.
"I would not ask it of any man, but if I must then it doesn't get better than that." She gestured towards Levi, whose lips tilted just the slightest bit.
"Did you just smile?" Rose asked, leaning forward.
"No." Levi deadpanned.
"He definitely did, I saw him clearly." Ian laughed.
"This is a night of revelations it seems." Sebastian laughed as well.
"I guess brooding men are your type then?" Finnegan prodded Rheanon.
"Definitely better than obnoxious narcissists I must say." She replied.
"Damn." Levi muttered. We all exchanged smiles, with the exception of Finnegan of course. He looked quite disgruntled you see?
