Chapter 55: Wish Wish
"I don't know why or how you lost all your memories, but I wish I could help you and stay beside until you get better," Volca began. He suddenly took her in his arms and carried her over to a rock nearby. He put her down and made her sit properly on the rock.
"Rest while you speak," he said and tussled her hair. He looked sincere as he did it. She smiled and held on to his arms, laying her head on his chest for sometime feeling tired. She could sense his feelings towards her and she liked it, very much that her heart almost exploded with joy.
"Thank you," she said. "I want you to listen to everything carefully and speak back only then,"
"I will," he promised her and waited for her to speak.
"The first day I met you was at school, the day we joined, the water princes and I together, " Volca refused to pronounce her name and mentioned her only formally. She felt her heart clutching tight inside at the very thought of her friend, but that was not what was important to Volca.
"We were taken to shifu and you were his right hand at the school, he appointed you as our senior brother and our guide," she kept going. "You were raised by him when your parents abandoned you," she said it to him plainly. She couldn't look at his face. She played with her fingers looking down. "We grew closer and I always attached myself to you, following you around. Water Princess and I used to be best friends. She knew I was in love with you and that we were close, but, " she paused thinking what to say next. "But she began to use her power and abuse her authority and tried to hit you, she started sending you mixed signals, gifts and offered gold to win you over, and taking you to meet her family. She coaxed you somehow and took you to her coronation. Then she called me to her room and made me watch you two getting intimate, I still don't know why you fell for her, but I felt too bad and betrayed that day. Back stabbed by my own friend. I started hating her and tried take you back and always failed."
"What? I dated her ?" and to his question she nodded her head, answering him back.
"At that time, my mother came to visit me one day and revealed a truth about you, I was shocked. She said you are the moonchild, the missing prince of the Demon Realm. Your father, a demon, and mother, a human. You were being hunted by your step father, the emperor, he wished to destroy you. And your biological father wanted to find you at any cost, since you were the only heir to demon throne. As a demon I grew up watching your father close, and knew exactly what his pains were not having you around and mother convinced me to take you back," she smirked.
Then she looked at his face, he looked serious. She continued. "That day, you captured me red handed when I was speaking with mother. I remember how I was crying and you offered to help me. I hugged you and we spend sometime together and she did not like it, the water princess. She left on her own and came back only a day after to show her protest and you felt too broken that day to see her rudeness for not understanding you helping a friend," Volca kept lying
"Then one day when we were training, she arranged a drama where ninjas tried to attack her and hurt herself to get your sympathy. Then she took you out of the school and forced you to spend time with her. You were so in love at that time. It used to break my heart alot," she said and looked Huo, with her eyes brimming with tears that made her vision very blurred. She took his hands and kept it on her heart. "It hurts," she said. "So much," she looked at him. "All the love, betrayal and sins, regrets, you have no idea," He looked at her with a bleeding heart. He started feeling bad for her. His heart pounded fast as he watched and listened to her story. "I know all that I have done just to get to you, but the event that took place were not just," she said.
"What happened?" Huo wanted to know more.
"We graduated from school, she and i. And we left. By that time she came to know about your birth secret and the real identity and still attached herself to you. But you weren't aware of how she was brought up fed by Emperor himself for the great cause. She let herself be used and got close to you for you to catch her bait, Emperor's bait,"
"What?" he was horrified. "How did I let her do that?" he couldn't believe what a fool he has been.
"You were so in love, so was I, and I leaked your information as per my mother's request to your father and brought you home," she sighed. "But I didn't know the Water Princess was visiting the Demon King, when she saw you, she took you out, in the name of escaping, saving you from me. I don't know where she took you, but within few days you returned back to the castle and took the throne as the Demon King, I have been on your side since then," she kept going with her instantly made up story. "She kept visiting the castle and even attended your coronation, along with her family. You two were stuck on each other. But she was called back,"
"Why?" he asked her curiously.
"Because the news of her betrothal with the heavenly prince Aaron spread like fire and she had to go back leaving you behind. She said yes to the engagement and moved into his palace. Thinking she was abducted and kept as a prisoner, you walked into the Celestial Palace falling for their trap," Volca cried at this point. She sobbed hard. "And they caught you," she said. She put on a very good act making the story look as real as possible. She dropped his hands and let go. But her tears were real. Real tears from the deep sense of regret and guilt killing her inside that came out in the form of tears. "They made you fight alone with everyone and then she revealed the truth of how her love was nothing but a trap,"
"She did that?" he asked astounded.
"Yes, and in anger, shame and regret, you stabbed her right in her heart, she dropped dead, but before she died, she transferred her unique power, the Crystals in to you to kill you, you both died in each other's arms but you returned and she can't, " she looked at his face that looked serious and sad. "She might not come again, and probably my prayers were heard. I have you now, fine and healthy, but need more training,"
"She died so, the water princess? In my hands?"
"Yes, for good," she said while her throat ached controlling her emotions. She bit her lips trying not to burst out crying. Things she is doing for love. It hurt him to see her cry.
"I walked around for your core every minute of the day in the past years and found you, and I used her Crystals she left for you to form your body and soul, her powers were unique that it can create a life since they are blood. "The person who came for you today is her cousin, the Grand Prince of Water Realm, Aiden, he wants to own you now since we used her crystals,"
Huo smirked and took a step closer to Volca and took a seat next to her. He sat looking away along with her accepting what he had heard. Feeling ashamed of how me made a fool of himself in the past and felt grateful to have Volca with him.
"I will make up for everything, for everything i did and hurt you," he said and looked at her. "Nobody else matter anything to me anymore. His heart skipped a beat as he laid his on her. Her beautiful smile amidst of the painful memories and tears in her eyes. He could not help it and reached for her face with his hands. He then moved closer to her and took her face in his hands, wiping her tears away. "I promise," he said and touched her lips with his. "I no longer wish to waste out time staying apart," he said and leaned his head on hers, taking her lip again. He kissed her deeply and put his arms around her waist pulling her closer. Volca out her arms around his neck and apparated quickly back to the underground chamber without alerting the guards.
When Huo opened his eyes he was inside his chamber with her. Huo got excited and lifted her as she wrapped her legs around his hip. His feelings were getting deeper and lust defeating them both. He put her on top of the desk and kissed again and again, biting her, caressing her breasts and her inner thighs. He kissed on her neck and took the tiara off her head. She placed her hands on his chest and began to take his hanfu off. She felt her body going too hot already. Huo slipped the cloak off her shoulder and then lifted her in his arms again walking towards his bed.
Huo placed her carefully and looked at her. "I love you," she whispered looking into his eyes. He smiled and kissed her forehead, her nose and took her lips again. He slowly ran his fingers over her clothes and undid her gown and slid them down her shoulders all the way through her hip and kissed her in navel that send a shiver all over her body. She sat naked in front of him, shyly. She then took his hands and kept it on her and slowly undressed him kept her hands on his chest as he climbed on top her. He took her nipples in his mouth and the he slowly entered her. Volca could do nothing else but moan, as she kept whispering his name in his ears, digging her nails on his back, new to all the sensual pleasures that she was going through. She was happy.
"Volca," Huo called her. "Volca, you hear me?" he asked her.
