Chapter 195 - Demands (1/2)
I give him a knowing smile as he slowly steps closer to me, eyes blazing bright red. So much was being said in those glowing orbs but he doesn't utter a single word as he takes me in. My body glows even brighter with the stars, causing me to light up like the North Star, aka, Polaris.
I look into his eyes and even though they're glowing, I can still see my body glowing inside them with equal intensity. ”You're really a star...” He says just above a whisper. I lightly nod my head as he slowly comes to a stop before me.
”Did you really fall because of me?” He asks lifting a hand up to my face as his eyes drink me in. The second his fingers touch my glowing skin, the glow becomes brighter. ”What do you think?” I say looking up to him.
He brings his hand back and looks to the tips of his fingers with awe. The glow from my skin remains there for a few seconds before slowly dissipating. His red glowing eyes look back to me with wonder as he says ”Let me catch you this time...”
He's suddenly before me, pulling me in and kissing me deeply. The stars explode around us like a million flecks of light as his dark energy wraps around us like a dark storm. My light spins and spirals around his dark energy as the two collide and begin to coexist with sparks of lightning.
My bright silver light bleeds over onto his golden skin as his dark energy caresses me in delicious waves. The two polar opposites come together in a delicious mix, one never really overpowering the other but instead, making the perfect mix. The perfect balance between light and dark. The perfect storm... Lightning crawls across the walls as the stars dance along with the streaks of lightning.
He pulls me tightly against himself as he breaks the kiss. He keeps his lips against mine as he says ”Fall over and over, little star and I will catch you every time. I want to see how bright you'll shine for me...” I shiver in his arms but struggle to keep my head clear as I say ”But first... I need to release my mother.”
He growls in agreement and quickly says ”We'll finish this later.” I give him a knowing smile as I pull my energy back. My eyes return to their solid green color as Bai Lei grabs my hand saying ”Let's go” Everything disappears and then I find myself right outside a grand white and golden palace.
Bai Lei walks in like he owns the place, making me chuckle when I see the surrounding people in white all looking at us like we're crazy. Those close to us quickly step back and make way for us as Bai Lei walks right into a large room with an old man sitting in a large golden throne.
The old man looks up from a golden bowl with a look of surprise. He quickly swipes his hand over the bowl and I watch as white mist slowly covers the surface of the water. I look around and quickly realize just how much Bai Lei stands out here... everything is white and gold so his black and gold robes stand out... a lot. There's even white mist floating around on the ground...
”Lord of Darkness... what can I do for you?” The old man says holding a golden staff. ”Where are you holding Lady Mei?” Bai Lei says getting straight to the point. The old man's face crumbles as he says ”Lady Mei is one of ours, she falls under our domain. Are you asking about her because of the woman from another world?”
I release Bai Lei's hand and step around him, coming face to face with the old man as Bolin and the woman from before come running in with looks of unease. The old man looks at me with a frown and asks ”And who are you?” I smirk at the old man and say ”A Demon to some, an Angel to others.” I shrug my shoulders and say ”Depends on you really.”
The old man's frown grows as he looks past me to Bai Lei asking ”Who is this insolent child? How dare you bring her here.” I cock my head to the side and say ”It looks like you already made your choice... don't regret this later.”
I take a step forward, causing Bolin and the other woman to quickly move in front of the old man in a protective manner. Bolin keeps his eyes on Bai Lei and I as he says ”My Lord, this is the one from Lady Mei's prophecy.”
The old man's face quickly changes to shock before he hides it just as quickly while saying ”What do you want Bai Lei?” Bai Lei chuckles behind me as he says ”I'm just accompanying my woman, old man. Maybe you should start asking her?”
The old man looks annoyed as he turns to look at me with anger saying ”What do you want?” My smile grows but it doesn't reach my eyes as I step forward again. Bolin lifts his hands and quickly says ”Nova, why don't you just talk to me. I'll do everything I can to help you.”
