Kira was dreaming, she was in the meadow by her castle, picking berries with Lara. The sun was out, shining gently upon her back, birds were singing, and the berries shimmered like rubies, begging to be picked. Lara reached down and picked a handful of them, offering one to Kira, she dropped the rest in a basket at her side. Kira shook her head, motioning for Lara to eat it. Lara set the jewel to her lips then all of a sudden, she slumped over her basket.

Kira bent over to see what was the matter and gasped. Blood stained the front of her sister’s clothing, and her eyes were glassy in death. Kira heard laughter, evil and as cold as ice, behind her and tried to wake Lara up. But she wouldn’t wake up…
~*~

Kira opened her eyes, escaping from her hellish dream. She was lying in a bed in a dark room. Struggling to sit up, she realized that her wrists and ankles were tied tightly together. She surveyed the dark room as best she could. She was sitting/lying on a large bed with a canopy in the center of the room; across from the bed was a vanity with a large mirror. There was a door, most likely locked, on one wall, and a glass door leading to a balcony on the opposite wall. Moonlight shining through the glass gave the room an eerie glow, lighting up the mirror on the vanity.

Kira stared blankly at it, studying her features. She was medium height and medium build, with dark brown hair long enough to reach halfway down her back, framing a plain yet pretty face. Her eyes were hazel and slightly slanted, giving her a faerie-like look. She sighed, wondering if this was all just a dream and that she’d wake up and see her sister and brother-in-law alive, but the pain that the rope around her wrists and ankles gave her told her otherwise that she was awake, that Lara and Kentaro were, in fact, dead, and that she had been abducted by a long haired Fae with unearthly red eyes.

Then, the door opened. The flash of light that followed blinded Kira, and as she blinked owlishly in the sudden glare, the man appeared. He had changed from his dirty dirt and mud streaked armor to a blood red tunic with a black cloak around his shoulders, fastened by a silver chain. His hair lay free against his back with an unearthly glow.

“You,” Kira hissed as the Fae shut the door and walked towards her. “Why the hell am I here?!”

“I see that you’re finally awake,” his voice purred.

“You fuckin’ bastard!!!” Kira struggled against her bonds.” You fuckin’ killed my sister!!!!!”

“For one,” he held up a finger, “my parents were married for quite a few years before they had me.” He walked closer, red eyes shining, rendering Kira speechless. “Another thing is that I had to kill your sister, otherwise she would have given birth to an heir, and the throne would never be passed down to you.” He stated matter-of-factly.

“W-who are you…?” she trembled, he knew all about her and her family.

“Me? I’m the ruler of Morlat, king Nemphis,” he bowed mockingly.

Kira’s eyes grew as big as oranges. “You…you’re the k-king of Morlat?!” She fell back against the headboard of the bed and began to mumble fiercely to herself, “oh shit. I can’t believe I saved my father’s biggest enemy. My biggest enemy. This can’t be happening…this can’t be happening…this can’t be happening…this can-“

Nemphis strode over and slapped her on the cheek, dragging her out of her stupor. “I think you’ve had enough shock for today,” he said, stroking her hair. “I’ll speak to you tomorrow.”

“But-“ Kira tried to speak.
“Shhhh…” he whispered, putting a finger against her lips. “Goodnight Princess Kira.” He murmured something and she slumped back, asleep once more.

Opening the door, Nemphis looked back into the room, moonlight glowing on the sleeping princess’s face.

“Good lord,” he muttered, “I’ve heard that she has a sharp tongue…I guess I’ll be finding out if the tales are true tomorrow.”

He walked out and shut the door carefully after him and headed to his own chambers, ready for sleep to claim him as well.
