.Devlin didn’t comment, only watched with amusement.“You’re right, but watch how well I get to know him now.Either way, it’s better than being here.” I turned and started away.“Trystie, you can’t.We have a deal and there are certain things you need to do.”“I don’t have to do anything now, Halo.We are in Faery, remember.You don’t need me anymore.”A menacing growl escaped from his throat.“Devlin, you can’t do this.I gave claim.”“Tell that to her,” he said as I took his offered arm and together walked out the door.Once outside the door, Devlin spun me around and pulled me in close against his chest.“Hold on and close your eyes,” he said, wrapping his arms around me.I felt the room move, the floor give way and wing swirl around us.When I opened my eyes, we were in a room very similar to Halo’s, but decorated differently.“What just happened?” I asked, my voice shaky.I rested the hand against my head waiting for it to stop spiining.He laughed and held me steady.“Sorry, I shifted us.He was running toward the door.It was the fastest way out.”“Shifted?”He opened his mouth and I held up my hand.“Nevermind, I don’t think I want to know.” I said pinching the bridge of my nose.“Thanks, I think, but more of a warning and, I don’t know, a class or two, would be helpful in the future.”His smile widened.“Got it.And might I say, I loved the way you handled that.I think I can still hear his heart breaking from here.”I shook my head.“No, his heart isn’t breaking.His ego might be, though.He doesn’t care about me enough for his heart to break.I just got in the way of his plans and he cut me a deal, which I obviously didn’t understand fully.”“Well, I don’t know about your deal, but I do know he has feelings for you way beyond what you believe.In fact, I have never seen him act that way or allow someone to talk to him like that.” He stopped and shook his head.“He always said he would never get bonded.For him to ask for this from the King is a huge deal.”“Well, what should I expect from him after this stunt?”“I’m not sure.He might try and handle it between the two of you or he’ll run to the King.”“Great,” I sighed again and fell into the closest couch with my eyes closed tight.I heard a brush of cloth and felt him lean down.Opening my eyes, I saw Devlin kneeling at my feet, eyes focused intently on my face.“I see why he is acting this way, why he is rushing the ceremony,” Devlin said, running his fingers down the side of my face then into my hair.“You are extremely beautiful.”I barked out a loud laugh and Devlin jumped.“I am average at best, Devlin, and compared to you people, Fae, I look ridiculously plain.”His head cocked to the side, regarding me with curiosity, then rose to take the seat next to me.“I don’t understand why you would say this.” He paused to look me up and down, making me feel exposed.“And I can honestly say I have never seen anyone more beautiful.”I looked away as I felt the heat rise to my face.He chuckled softly and pushed my hair back behind my ear.“You are even more beautiful when you blush.”I fidgeted nervously.“Flattery will get you no where.”“I disagree.Flattery will get you everywhere,” He stood and started for the door.“And I haven’t even begun to try yet.” The look on his face alone was enough to make me hold my breath.“Make yourself at home.I will bring you back some food.If you need anything at all or you wish to leave the room, just call my name and I’ll be here.” He winked and walked out the door.“Damn,” I said out loud to no one.“I am in deep shit if they are all like that.”Later that day, while Devlin was still out, Halo came by the room.He knocked lightly on the door and called my name.Sitting across the room I could barely hear him.Quietly, I padded across the large room to the door and leaned my head and shoulder against the wall.I listened to him quietly as he calmly talked to me through the door, not actually knowing if I could hear him.“Trystie, please forgive me for this.I know you are upset with me.The last thing I would ever want from you is to be angry with me.I… you don’t understand… my father…” He stopped and I heard his sigh through the door.“I can not explain further,” I heard a noise, a slight bang against the door, when he spoke again, his voice was clearer.“I wish I had the words to tell you how I feel, but… if you would let show you.Come back to our rooms, stay with me, please.You don’t belong here with Devlin.”I shook my head and said nothing as he continued to talk calmly through the door.He wasn’t offering me any answers, so I just listened, trying to understand this person I really didn’t know at all.After a good amount of time talking, and getting no reply, Halo said a good-bye with a reminder that I could call for him at any time and he would be there, than left.I ground my teeth in confusion, not understanding this guy I thought I knew.Well, I guess I made that mistake before, right? He wasn’t the same person I met at Kamdyn’s party.He wasn’t the same person who came to my house everyday for homework.He wasn’t the same guy who attacked me in the dark room.It seemed the guy I stayed with, in his enormous home, was closer to the true Halo, but still, I wasn’t sure.Completely lost in a strange world –in which I was stuck-, with no way to get out, consumed by so many questions –and absolutely no answers- my head was spinning.I couldn’t find a single phone anywhere, so I had no way to contact anyone.Not that I knew who I would call [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
