ZUMA
I am looking at him with my eyes wide open. I don't want to grow up. You kno what I wanted, I anted to learn to be an adult from my father, how to rule from the best ruler I know ,well used to know. Now all that is gone. Alastor had that luxury he is older than me he is of age to start earning such things. I am allowed to stay a child.
"Dont talk to me about grow up I don't have to grow up yet."
"You are to be married you will have no choice."
"I know that much"
Im pick up the basket and walk off into the woods following my way back to the carriage and I hear Aastor calling me. I need a break from him right now and I rather be anywhere else. I see the carriage and immediately feel relieved. The guards were sitting on the side of the road laughing and talking until they same and things got quiet.
"Excuse me but where is the prince?"
"He is at the lake getting dressed I left him because he was being a bastard."
I opened the carriage and jumped in, I must admit it was harder than it looked.The guards were left with their eyes widened and their jaw dropped open. Not soon after getting in the carriage I hear rustling from the trees and angry Alastor emerges he dropped the bags and got into the carriage.The guards took the bags and got into formation. The carriage ride was quiet and silent until we pulled up to the gates. We exited and the guards dissapeared.I had the basket and he had the blankets. We walk into the palace without speaking to eachother. I don't want to talk to anyone I want to go back in time, back to the good old days. We walk into the room and I put the basket on the bed and leave.I walk out of the room without a word or so much as a look his way. Going upstairs to the study I remember I left my book in the room.Damn it I have to go back down there. I descended the stairs in dread and find Alastor spread out on the bed fast asleep hugging the basket. I quickly grab my book and make my way to the door. Once again going up the stairs I feel relieved. I was in the study just writing for about an hour,time flew by quickly and before I knew it ,it was time for dinner. I closed my book and hid it in the bookshelf among larger books.I went back into the room and made myself a bath. He was still fast asleep on the bed so I took a pieceful bath. Putting on a plain black shirt and billowy pants I remember how I thought Alastor looked handsome in black. I exit the bathroom and go over to the bed.
"Alastor it will soon be time for dinner wake up please."
He growled at me and got up sluggishly.
"Zuma?"
"Yes what is it"
"Are you still crossed with me?"
"Yes, now get ready I will clean up this room in the meantime."
"Ok fine but pease tell me why you are crossed first, you keep a lot of things inside."
"You told me to grow up, if you have forgotten you are older than me by at least three years-"
"Two years"
"Ok two years,i don't have to grow up yet I bet two years ago you were still having fun and acting like a kid driving you father nuts. I don't want to have to grow up yet I know one day soon I will have no choice. What you said in the woods made reality set in that my father is gone and is never coming back.I have been telling myself this is all just a vacation and i will be going back home to my father soon.I didn't want to face reality and you made me face it in those damn woods. I don't want to get married but I have no choice, I don't want to become the ruler of my people yet but again I have no choice, I don't want to have sex yet but as usual I have no choice. I have no choice like a child yet you are here telling me to grow up,im tired of it and i want to go home but that's not an option it is burnt to the ground. There now you know why I am crossed I had to face reality."
I was now looking at my hands looking at the jade ring.
"Why do you love your father so,it I unusual for a person of your age and gender to love their father this much."
"The reason is because my mother was a horrible woman, she would criticize every inch of me,anything I ever did was never good enough. Despite our similar feature we were nothing alike,my father and my sister were the only ones who mourned after her death,she got very sick, honestly I always thought it was karma that had come to visit for causing a child so much pain so when she started getting close to death and was crying in pain I felt nothing. My father always picked me up when I was down after she scolded me or told me im too skinny or too fat or too ugly. He didnt care why I was crying it only mattered that I was in pain and he made it stop.He is, he was my hero, my knight in in armor, my guardian angel,he was my everything. my sister was just like my mother and we didn't spend much time together so her death doesn't hit me as hard as his does. After mothers death all his attention and all his love went to his kingdom and me,my sister wasn't close with him and preferred the attention of the young guards. Just to torture me at night she would tell me about her wonderful experience with the guards under the covers I thought of it as vile I thought of her as vile,i didnt expect her to get married because she had been with so many men that a sensible and noble man would find her as vile as I did. Father never knew about it because I would have to cut out my tongue before even uttering the vile things she did with those guards. He just traveled brought back presents and taught us about the place she went to. He used to always tell me "Labror for learning before you grow old for learning is better than silver and gold. Silver and gold will vanish away while a good education wil never decay."
"Had anyone ever court you."
"Yes I refused them they were filled with lust like you. I should have accepted perhaps then I wouldn't be here then again you would have killed them and taken me anyways."
He just sat there quiet looking at me I could feel his eyes examining me. I heard the bed creak and now there he was looking at me.
"I didn't take you because I wanted only your body I also want your love but because of the way I took you, you refuse to love me. I thought your father was taking advantage of you, we all though so , your close relationship was odd and bloomed suspicions."
"So because I was too close you all thought bad of him?"
"Yes but now that you have expressed your feelings I now know the truth."
I looked up at him and his eyes were soft for the first time. Was he being caring. He rested one of his hands on my shoulder and the other on my head. he pulled me in close and just patted my head, I felt calm and safe then I remember we will be late for dinner.
"Alastor?"
"Hm"
"You need to get ready for dinner."
"Oh right I almost forgot"
"Wait."
I got on my toes an dgently kissed him on the lips.
"Thank you for making me feel better."
He did the cutest thing and started blushing. He quickly turned on his heel and bolted into the bathroom. Did I just make Alastor blush I never thought it was possible. I started laughing to my self and began cleaning. He came out of the bathroom in minutes smelling of mint and lavender. He Also dressed in full black. We are matching,oh no Aires will never let me live it down. We exit the room and find our way downstairs. As usual Baba is complaining he is starving and we are the last to arrive. I take my usual seat next to baba and Alastor sits next to Aires.
"Well isn't this couple matching tonight."
"Aires dont start Alastor copied me I was dressed first."
"Zuma technically you copied me you normally wear bright colours and a kimishi."
"I did no such thing I felt cold and decided to wear black because it attracts heat."
Aires was looking between both of us and was having a grand time. His name is perfect for him,always causing a war.
"The two of you quit fighting or i'll eat you both."
"You would eat me Baba?"
"If im hungry enough it would be an option."
"Baba? Zuma when did you start calling him baba?"
Alastor seemed confused, oh I almost forgot I didn't tell him about the name.
"I told him he can call me that since you both dont call me anything but Father plus it sounds adorable coming out of his mouth."
Both sons seemed satisfied with the answer. One of the maids came from the kitchen and announced dinner wouldn't be ready for another half and hour. I immediately became scared I am too cut to be eaten.
"Alastor can you switch spots with me please I would like to live to see tomorrow and I dont think he would eat you."
"Sorry Zuma but he has bit me before, it wasn't fun."
I looked up at Baba with puppy dog eyes.
"Zuma that isn't fair you cant look at me like that how do you expect me to eat you. I don't need those eyes on my continence."
"Don't eat me I have so much havoc to reak on yor son."
His eyes widen and he stars to burst out in laughter. Alastors seems confused and concerned. The maids walked in with food and I felt releaved.
"Excuse me please serve him first I would like to live to see tomorrow and remain unbitten."
They seemed confused but thankfully he scarfed it down and looked like a happy cat once again. Dinner went on quietly and awkwardly. When dinner was finally over Baba kissed me on the head and wished me goodnight. When Alastor and I finally reached our room and the door closed he turned to me with a curious look.
"What havoc do you wish to reak on me?"
"You will find out eventually."
I went into the bathroom and changed into my night clothes. He simply took his shirt off and hopped into bed. When I came out of the bathroom he was sitting on the very edge of the bed stretching. I walked up to him and stood between his legs. He looked at me with mischievous eyes. I rested my hands on his shoulders and leaned in close to him. He was about to claim my lips when I leaned back. He was now pouting. Teasing him is fun, this is my way of reaking havoc. I gently push him farther into the bed until he was properly sitting on the bed. I sat on his lap with my legs on both sides of him. He seems to like putting me in such positions. His hands immediately go to my lower back while the other is on the back of my neck pulling me in. Once again I try to pull away but he catches me this time. He pulls my body closer to his until our crotches were touching. It felt weird but not uncomfortable. He pulls me in even closer causing our crotches to rub together. I feel rushing to my nether regions and my entire body starts to heat up. The kiss gets more intense and his hands start to wonder. I untie his hair and slip my fingers through his silky locks. He lays back on the bed and I am on top of him. He breaks the kiss and starts unbuttoning my shirt. He pushes me over to the side and started kissing my neck and collar bone. How is this going to end? He tosses my shirt off to the side and looks at me with lust filling his eyes, lust, not love. In that instant the heat I felt rushing through my body went cold.
"Zuma what is wrong you seem angry and disappointed."
"All I see is lust in your eyes."
He widens his eyes in shock and gets off of me. I sit up and fold my arms over my chest. The look of guilt is all over his face and she is looking off to the side instead of looking at me.
"Look at me."
He exhales roughly and faces me.
"What do you want me to do?"
"I don't want you to make love to me out of lust,because then you take it too far and hurt me. I don't think it even counts as love its just sex."
He looks at me with sad eyes,i continue to look ahead with my hands still folded.
"Why are you still hiding from me?"
"Hiding from you?"
"You are folding your arms"
"So, its my body its my choice to hide it or not."
"But why from me I have already seen you without a shirt."
"Because I want to,now lets change the subject."
I crawl over to the edge of the bed and put on my shirt. After buttoning it up and slipping under the blanket I look over at him and he looks sad.Damn my soft weak heart. I lift up the covers and pat next to me.He slides in and roles over so he isn't facing me. Damn it all the pain he has caused me and now I feel bad for hurting him. I scoot closer to him and hold him from behind. I pull his head in close to my chest and fall asleep. In the morning I hear murmering.I wake up to see Baba and Aires laughing and snickering.There is a small adorable boy in Babas arms.AWW I want him now.
"Good morning what are the two of you laughing at."
"Well my dear Zuma you are hugging the beast, did my little Al have a nightmare."
Alastor woke up and was confused.His father on the other hand was laughing along with Aires the child in his arms didn't know what as going on. When I looked down I realized that I was still holding Alastor. When our eyes met we both realized what was hilarious about our position. I quickly release him and get out of bed.
"Baba who is this adorable little boy?"
"Oh yes this is Allen, he wanted to meet you."
"Oh how sweet, hello Allen my name is Zuma its a pleasure to meet you."
The boy had the sweetest little face he tugged on Baba's sleeve to put him down and he ran and hugged me. I was filled with joy, I picked him up like he was a doll.
"Your pretty Zuma,my uncle is scary."
"Your uncle who is your uncle?"
"The kranky person in the bed that is looking at me with fire in his eyes."
"Huh?"
I turned around and looked at Alastor and he wasn't happy with me holding his nephew.
"Alastor why on earth are you so angry?"
"Allen you brat don't look like an angel Zuma is was mine"
"Alastor! How could you say such a thing to a child he looks no older than four."
"He is a wolf in sheep's clothing."
"Well im stealing him. Allen how would you like to join me for breakfast?"
"I would like it very much."
He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and I gave him one on his forehead. He was so adorable I wonder who his parents are.He had strawberry blonde short hair,white skin and emerald eyes. Good lord I wish he was my own I cant wait to get to know him. I put him down and he sits on the bed. He looked at Alastor behind him and gave him a warm smile,Alastor pouted and retrieved under the blanket.I went into the bathroom and took a quick bath. I got dressed in a red shirt and pants similar to the ones from the night before.I think he will want to play at some point and these clothes are more suited for that. When I exited the bathroom Alastor was still under the blankets and Allen was laying on him, poking at the blanket. I walked in laughing I sat at the edge of the bed and felt something pull on my hair.When I turned around I realized it was Allen. He had my dark hair between his small hands.
"So soft and long."
I smiled at him and grabbed my comb I handed it to him and his little face lit up. he combed my hair gently and slowly,quite frankly I enjoyed it. Unfortunately Alastor had to rain on my joy. He finally rose from under the blanket.
"How do you let him comb your hair when you never let me."
"He is much cuter than you that's why."
Alastor pouted like a child once again,dear lord what am I to do with them both today. Hmm!
