Chapter 13: Confusion-Part 2
Act 2: Renesmee's Important/Difficult Decision!!
In the dining hall, Coryn and Nyroc are finishing eating their breakfast. To Nyroc; he can still smell the human blood scent in the air, but it is very faint. He wants to ask Renesmee about it, but he has to talk to her in person and in private. So he waits for her to come into the dining hall, so she too could eat.
Suddenly, a crow flew in and landed on a chair. "Kaw," it said. "Kaw, kaw,"
"Hmm..." Nyroc looks at the crow, "Well, what is it then?"
"Kaw, kaw," it answered. "Kaw, kaw, kaw,"
"Our queen won't come to speak with me," Nyroc stood up. "And she told you to tell me that if I have to talk to her...I must go to her instead?"
"Kaw, kaw," the crow nodded.
"Well that is the first," Nyroc scratch his chin as he saw a tray that holds two apple oatmeal with honey drizzle on it, four bacon stripes and two glasses of water appeared on the table. "What's that?"
"It's for our queen, father." Coryn answered,
Nyroc looks at his son, "Then why is there two servings on the tray?"
"Oh that umm...you will find out yourself when you go in there."
"Coryn?" Nyroc growled at him,
"Well...umm...she has a guest in her room,"
"A guest? What guest?" then Coryn picks up the tray, turned to his father.
"You should go ask her yourself," Coryn answered. "Then she'll show and explain why to you," then they both have started to head towards Renesmee's bedroom.
At Renesmee's bedroom, she is wearing a black robe to cover herself and she is starting to fluff some of the pillows. Then she gently scoops the princes' head, lifted it up and put the pillow underneath his head, then she gently settle his head down so it could lay on it. Then Renesmee has sat down right next to him, "Don't worry my prince," she spoke to him softly. "Our brunch will be here at any moment now, and I'll help you to get fed. I promise," then someone knocks the door. "Come in," she ordered as she turned to the door then the door opens.
When the door is open, she sniffed the air that is filled with familiar scents coming in. "Good morning Coryn," Renesmee smiled. "Good morning Nyroc,"
"Morning Ma 'Lady," Coryn replied as he bowed his head and walked forward. "I've brought you yours' and his breakfast/lunch,"
"Thank you Coryn," Renesmee bowed her head lightly. "You may put the tray on the dresser," then Coryn put it down. All of the sudden, Coryn and Renesmee smelled fear in the air.
"Impossible!" Nyroc's voice barked as they turned to him, "Why is that human prince is here?" Nyroc points at the prince in Renesmee's bed,
Renesmee sighed, "Coryn," she stood up. "Would you give us a moment? I like to talk to your father in private,"
"Oh," Coryn suddenly understood. "Of course," he bowed to her and he went pass his father. "I will wait for you at Training Hall father,"
"Alright then," Nyroc replied and Coryn closed the door, and he left his father and Renesmee alone while the prince is still in bed.
While they are alone, Nyroc growled. "What is he doing here anyway?" Nyroc asked,
"He's recovering from his injury of course," Renesmee answered.
"What?" Nyroc jumped, "How's that even possible? I saw him got stabbed by his father sword right in front of my only eye,"
"So was mine but only two anyway," Renesmee walked towards him. "But...he shared the blood of my past self and it allows him to heal from the inside instead of the out."
"But...but how?"
"Maybe if you shouldn't be such a bird brain lately, you'd probably figured it out by now."
"What?"
Renesmee sighed, "Ever since my heart left his body and return into mine, I've believe that my heart has left residue in his body and be able to activate the old raven's blood that's within his veins."
"But why did you brought him here?"
"So I could patch him up and help him to get better,"
"Did you give him you blood along with it?"
Renesmee didn't answer, all she do is to stare at him. Suddenly Nyroc has fully realized the answer of hers,
"You did or did you not?"
"Of course I did, what else that could save him."
Nyroc growled, "You've shouldn't have done that,"
"Why not?"
"Because you and him, you both are enemies and enemies kill each other."
"So?"
"So...he...because you can't and you're supposed to eat his heart, not to take care of him."
"I don't care about it,"
"Then why didn't you?"
"Because I need him,"
"Need him...for what? To become a weak leader?"
"No,"
"Then for what?"
"Because I love him,"
Then Nyroc is stunned but yet, he listened.
"I love him with all of my human heart and if I have him right next to me. He calms me and I do the same thing to him,"
"Is it because of your human heart is starting to become unstable?"
"A little bit, that's why I tried to keep Heaven alive because she's also the part of the puzzle that is connected to my human heart."
"Then why didn't you get rid of that heart and get it over with?"
"Do you want me to die too early Nyroc?"
"No, of course not."
"Then why are you treating me like a fledgling and don't agree with my decision?"
"Because I am protecting you, that's why!" He roared as he held her arms,
"Nyroc, let go." Renesmee ordered,
"Look, I don't want you to do the same mistake as our old lord did. So I just need you to just..."
"Stop treating me like a fledgling!" Renesmee tries to jerk his hands off of her, "And let go of me!" But he won't budge, suddenly Nyroc has felt a painful stab on his arm and he has let go of Renesmee. Renesmee stepped back a little bit and she saw a black feather knife sticking out of his arm. Nyroc pulled it out and throw it across the room,
"How did you...?" he held his arm,
"I...I didn't..." she nodded,
"But who...?" then they look at the bed. They saw the prince; sitting up and gasping for strength, and an arm is sticking out and other arm is supporting him. "How did he...?" then Nyroc saw something in the princes' eyes. The princes' eyes are blue but there are a slight of red in his eyes. Nyroc jumped, No... Nyroc thought. It...it can't be... suddenly the prince has collapsed to the left side; where his arm is supporting him.
"Mytho!" Renesmee ran to his side, she checked his breathing. It is mild, then Nyroc has broken the last straw of hers'. "Nyroc, I want you to leave us."
"What?"
"Leave us!" she ordered as her eyes are glowing red, instead of arguing back. Nyroc stood up and begun to walk towards the door, "And make sure that you clean your arm on your way out," she commanded. Nyroc can hear a growl in her voice as he closed the door and headed to the emergency room.
When Nyroc's gone, Renesmee's eyes stopped glowing and she has started to help the prince. She helped him to lay back at the same position that she has left him and she listen to his breathing again. It is normal, she felt relieved as anger left her then worrying has washed over her. "I'm sorry," she spoke softly. "Nyroc and I...we..." she sighed, "Our argument shouldn't have to push you so hard to wake up and be able to sit up. I've never realized that you have that type of strength left and a power to attack Nyroc in order to release me," she trembled a bit. "Ever since the Heart of the Raven returns to me, temptations wash over me. But..." her eyes are starting to get watery, "...I...I just don' know what to do if I..." then the prince slowly opens his eyes and moves his hand. He put it against her cheek, she looks at him with worrying in her eyes.
"...you're not alone..." the prince whispered as he understood how she feels. Renesmee tries to smile and held his warm hand against her cheek. Then she has decided to feed him before he could sleep again and she could too feed.
To Nyroc, he is frustrated about what have happened in Renesmee's room. After the nurse patched his wounded arm, he stormed out of the room.
In the hallway, Coryn was heading to Renesmee's room until he saw his father. "Father," Coryn spoke.
"What?" Nyroc asked,
"I was going to come and get you," then he smells his father's arm. "What happened to you?"
"Does it matter?" Nyroc replied, "Practice today is canceled, I want you to give me some space for right now."
"But...father...?"
"Don't..." Nyroc stormed passed his son and Coryn has begun to worry.
What's gone into him? Coryn wondered and his own gizzard has got a feeling that something bad is going to happen. So he has decided to follow Nyroc and see what he is up to.
