Chapter Ten

"A what?" Kary asked, confused.

 

"A kiss." Valerian repsonded, with a mischevious glaze on his eyes, daring her to say yes.

 

"No. . . " She turned her face. Kary couldn't, if she did she didn't know what she would do. She would be more compelled to stay than go, but she needed to go. She was worried for her mother. Turning back to Valerian, she saw that he was staring her with glaring eyes.

 

"Then you understand I cannot let you leave." He said, inching closer to her. Kary didn't move this time, breathing in every time her got closer. He stopped right in front of her, and bend down slightly. Just so his mouth was inches away from hers. His breath was hot, and smelled sweet. Inhaling shakily, Kary took a step back, only to be echoed by him taking one step forward. This pattern went on until Kary was completely against the wall, Valerian's hands plastered on either side of her.

 

"Now what?" He asked, leaning closer to her. "Why do you hate me, when I love you so much?"

 

Turning her head, she didn't answer. The hurt in his voice stabbed at Kary's heart, she couldn't bare to look at his eyes. Kissing the top oh her head, he pulled Kary into him.

"Come, its time."

 

Leading Kary through a maze of corridors, squinting her eyes she could see a light at the end. Kary heard the low rumble of people, gradually getting louder as they approached the light. It was a stadium, people were gathered around, familiar women hung around the men.

 

"My king!" She heard female voices call out, they were the two women from last night. Bumping Kary to the side the two women clung to Valerian.

 

"Oh Valerian! We miss you, please we need you. He did not make us scream like you did..!" They whined. Kary felt an unfamiliar anger surge through her. Was it jealousy? She pushed past the women, and pulled Valerian on. She heard a chuckle come from behind her, turning she saw Valerian laughing.

 

"What?" She sneered.

 

"I just thought it was funny, you do not want to kiss or touch me, but get jealous when other women approach me." He laughed. Letting go of her hand, she saw more women crowd around him. Kary felt her face go red with anger and embarrassment. Walking up to him, she swiped her hand across his face. His eyes were wide with shock, the females surrounding him glared at her, and the stadium went quiet with anticipation of what their king would do next. She felt the sting of tears form in her eyes, spinning on her heel she bumped into Olyvis.

 

Olyvis let out a laugh, "It seems as if I do not have to battle you for her, she already rejects you." He said to Valerian.Turning back to face Valerian, Kary saw death in his eyes. Stalking forward he grabbed her by the arm and Kary felt the hard plains of his chest slam into he body.

 

"I already told you, she is my fated one." Valerian sneered.

 

"Whatever you say cousin." Olyvis walked off.

 

"General, I want you to take her with you up there. If anyone touches her in anyway, I will kill them and you. Understan?" Valerian said to the man standing next to them.

 

"Understood my king." He replied, taking Kary by the shoulder. Guiding her to a row of seats close to the ring. Kary saw Olyvis swinging  a blade around, and Valerian walking to the center of the ring.

 

"This battle is between the royal blood. A battle to the death, a battle for the throne, and a battle for Kary. My fated one." Valerian said, and a deadly silence fell upon th stadium. Kary felt a stab at her chest, she could feel her heart start racing. Did she want Valerian to do this? He could die, could she live with herself if that happened.. Kary put her shaky hands in her lap and watched. She looked at Valerian, his eyes instantly locking with hers. As if noticing her worries, he simply smiled and mouthed something she couldn't make out.

 

What sounded like a horn, echoed through out the stadium, and both men took their stance. Ready for battle.
