Chapter 26: Playing With Fire {2}
The trip to the bath wasn’t a long one, my mind was clouded, obscured by what transpired today or what was yet to come. I have found out my worth as a fairy, why millions were called for my name, and why warlocks were angry I was purchased by William, this discovery was too much. I have spent half of my life asking the gods why I was born like this... to be hated and called an omen and cast aside like I was nothing, endless nights and days for asking ’Why’ I never got my answer, I never got any answer from anybody, I was living an empty life. But now I know why...
And I’m in the hands of someone who can use me for my worth without batting an eye, it almost felt like he was toying with me.
’Your worth, Ava is... your blood belongs to my taste for when I hunger for it... your flesh for my teeth to grease, your eyes for my sight, and everything and every knowledge I will show you about this world. Your kiss is mine to have as well, and your voice... is for me alone to hear’
I stopped abruptly the moment I recalled the words he said to me earlier, that could only mean he wanted to exploit my worth but why does it sound like it had another meaning? Almost like he wanted me to himself, wasn’t that the same thing? Wasn’t that reason he purchased me?
’You’re my bride, Ava’
My cheeks subconsciously heated, I have forgotten that part for I knew what a bride was... does he intend to marry me too? His intentions were confusing to me, both alarming and straight. He didn’t mention he wanted my blood for an elixir but for his taste? What does he mean by that? And my flesh for his teeth to grease? Does he want to bite me or something?!
I hugged myself instantly that ’image’ does not play out well, what was he going to use? His mask?! And my eyes for his sight? Was he blind? But at the other end, he did mention he would show me every knowledge in this word and my kiss....
I placed my palm on my cheeks instantly and held them, they were beaming hot! I shake my head rapidly to wave, maybe somehow wave the thought off, I definitely should stop thinking about this, or else it wouldn’t just be me passing out from questions in my head but from hot cheeks. Oh, gods!
