The Dark Queen

10

Rose POV

"The Queen will be in shortly." Rolling my eyes of course she will be. Watching the girl every move, she was pretty. Something about her was different but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Sitting down in front of table she served my food. Not bothering to wait for Zara I was almost hoping she would forget about dinner. The girl left without another word leaving me alone. Enjoying the peacefulness until Zara came in.

All I wanted is to be alone screaming to myself in my  mind. I kept on eating not caring to say hello or glance her way. Petty yes but necessary maybe not but it did make me feel better. We ate like the rest of the time never saying a word to each other. Which I was grateful for. Until I noticed she was breathing heavier than usual almost as if she was in pain. Finally looking up for the first time I saw she had scrapes and bruises all along her body.

I felt my body heating up, standing up "who.did.this.to.you". She stopped eating and looked up at me as if I had gone crazy. "No one it was training day and I wasn't paying attention and five of the warriors got at me". I'll kill them. How could they have done this she's their queen they should have known not to touch her let alone hurt her.

Feeling my wolf raging inside of me forcing herself to be set free and tear everyone to pieces. I need to calm down I can't shift not right now. Breathing in and out slowly and heavily but I couldn't. "What's happening"!? Zara called out panicked.

Ripping the black long sleeve shirt I had on, off of myself revealing my mark on my chest she had given me. "I need you to touch my mark I need you to calm me down or else I'll kill everyone here"

I see her rushing toward me placing her cool hands on my chest I begin to feel better. After a few seconds it began to work. "What the hell was that about rose?" Opening my eyes seeing as though I was calm now I breathe in. "My wolf didn't like to see you hurt she wanted revenge the only thing that could calm her down was you". I could see in her eyes shifting back and forth trying to take it all in. Grabbing her hands and pulling them off of me I walk away into the closet searching for a new shirt. I still felt warm but I couldn't let her keep her hands on me it would be to tempting...

Walking back out of the closet I saw her sitting at the edge of the bed. Her hair falling in waves on her shoulders. I couldn't help but get lost in her green eyes. I always seem to loose all my mental strength when she's around. It's hardly been a day how was I supposed to keep going like this. I've always been stubborn for my own good my father always reminded me of it.

I have to never see her again no matter how much it pained me to do so. "You have to leave and never come back to see me".

Staring at the back of her head she had stood up and turned away from me. So I couldn't see her reaction. Seconds felt like hours in this moment. Waiting for her response was worse than saying the words it self. "If that's what you want then so be it" looking back at me tears threaten to fall. I caused her pain and here I was wanting to kill everyone who had physically caused her pain. Shaking the chilling thoughts I quickly composed myself.

"Yes it's what's I want" practically forcing the words to come out of my mouth. With a final glance I watched her leave my room. It felt as though a tension was finally lifted in the room. Curling up in my bed I knew I wouldn't last, not long at least. Eventually my wolf will become restless and need her other half. But until then I will hold out for as long as possible if not for me but for my father. Sighing I wonder what they were doing. The princes and their fathers must have gone home already seeing as there was no reason to stay any longer. Leaving my father alone. I will be back I promised him.
