Chapter 8 (part two)
Predicament
When they arrived at their cave, Switch noticed that Anonym had not spoken a word and lightly put her down on the chair. Her face was pale and showed sweat on her forehead, even after he"d already wiped her face not long ago. Switch was sure that she was in quite a lot of pain.
Putting his hand on her ankle, she flinched.
Clicking his fingers, an instant later she let out a groan, "Better?"
Anonym breathed out and nodded, the pain from the bone going back together, had already pa.s.sed. "Thank you."
Switch brushed some of her wet hair behind her ear and sighed, "Killing an Emperor isn"t a wise decision..."
She put the sword down by her side and frowned, "I have lived too long to care about who I kill. Emperor, concubine, a great master...If they want me to do something that I don"t want to do and force it upon me, that ends up injuring me...Then it sucks to be them! Now that I think about it, I could have gone invisible...Forgot about that...Oh well, I’d rather not run away."
She shrugged and fixed up the crown on her dishevelled head.
Shaking his head, he removed the crown, and asked, " He was the most powerful person on this continent, aren"t you afraid that they"ll get everyone after you?"
Anonym looked at him, from looking at the crown that he had placed next to the sword, she had no fear within her eyes at all. "I thought you would understand me..."
Switch was a little hurt by her words, "I worry about you, you can still die...You can still get hurt!" He pointed then to her ankle.
Letting out a small smile, she leaned forward and put a hand to his face, "It is good that my a.s.sistant worries for me..."
For a moment they stared at each other.
Switch was in conflict, as she gently had touched him, yet, called him an a.s.sistant. Anonym, on the other hand, stared at him in silence, as she silently celebrated his faithfulness. Not wanting her to get hurt, gave her cold heart some warmth that made her feel funny.
Remembering her previous life"s, she had indeed fallen in love before, most of those times, they were all dramatic. You seem to care more if you are in love. What are they doing? When can I see them again? Can we be closer?
It was that dramatic that Anonym didn"t want to relive it again...But, this feeling that was warming her heart seemed to be something similar to that.
Not wanting to ponder further on it, she went to take her hand away, but he put his hand over hers instead and leaned in himself, touching his lips to hers.
Anonym was angry, not only did she not want this to happen but she was taken by surprise.
Putting her other arm to his chest, she pushed him back and he fell to the floor. His strength was nothing to hers, after all, he was just a wizard who couldn’t cultivate...
It had only been a small gentle kiss, but she wiped her mouth anyway. Wanting to get away from Switch, she stood up and just as she went to walk away, he tripped her with his own feet and she fell back into his embrace.
He didn"t forcefully keep her there, as he let his hand go over her face once again.
Being quite shocked at his sudden change of tactics, Anonym didn"t know what to do. "Are you going to force me too?"
Switch gently smiled at her, "No, my leg slipped."
Anonym"s mouth twitched to his words. They sounded like something she would say! Noticing that he wasn"t holding her down, she felt glad, she really wouldn"t be ready to leave him.
Looking at his face, she couldn"t believe that she already liked having him around that much...She didn"t want him to make things difficult for her or have him leave on his own accord. It almost felt like they had already become somewhat of a family...She wanted to know how he got that scar on his face, how he came to be here…Also, she hadn"t seen how much power this person actually has!
Through this thought, she gained an idea!
"I know how you can make it up to me." She said, slyly.
Switch let out a chuckle, as he stared at her lips, "Oh? Then how can I make it up to you?"
Anonym pushed herself up, which made them become very close, "I have an idea that will help my curiosity and maybe could stop any kind of people coming after me."
He put a hand around her wet waist and said, "And this idea is?"
She put her hands around his neck, trying to remember how to flirt, and continued, "You are powerful right?"
Leaning his forehead against hers, he let out a small, "Mmm."
Putting her fingers through his shoulder length hair, she smiled at him, "How about I leave them to you. But I want to watch!"
Unable to totally comprehend her words, because of his slight l.u.s.t, he hugged her tighter, "Me?"
Feeling his warmth on her body, she suddenly remembered what it was like to be entangled with another. She had forgotten how enjoyable it was, because she was thinking too much about not wanting to fall in love.
Thinking about it now, led her to moving her mouth to his.
This time, the kiss wasn"t a small and gentle kiss. Anonym had let her l.u.s.t come out and felt overjoyed in knowing that it was still something she would like to do again. Moving herself to be directly on top of him, she took the initiative to deepen the kiss. Feeling her senses go spiralling out of control because of his taste, smell and touch, she couldn"t help but continue, even though she was running out of breath!
Switch, on the other hand, was melting away to a point that he remembered how young this body was. There was nothing he could do but pull away from her breathlessly and sigh. "I didn"t think...You"d kiss me like that...But."
Anonym wanted to continue, but was pulled back again, Switch becoming more serious, "I already let you drink when you aren"t supposed to. I won"t go further with you until your body is older!"
Stunned, Anonym only just remembered that she appeared to be only as a twelve-year-old girl...She"d totally forgotten!
She thought about the normal age that girls would get married and sighed. She still had a couple of years, did he really want to wait that long! She could feel his desire below her, and wondered if it would drive him crazy to wait!?
Frustrated, she looked at him and shook her head.
Switch smiled and put his hand on her face again, then kissed her on the forehead. He had been absolutely smitten before, and it had taken him quite a lot of effort to pull back. Knowing that this body was too young, gave him enough strength to stop. That was just one thing he definitely wasn"t going to do...
Now, he remembered why he had kissed her in the first place, having also forgotten because of her sweet taste. It was because she had called him an a.s.sistant. Not knowing how it was going to turn out, he prided himself on having her forget such things. Didn"t that mean that she wasn"t thinking about anything else except him and the kiss they shared?
Feeling like he had gained control of a weakness, he clicked his fingers and a new set of clothes and cloth came into his hands. Putting the clothes down, he put the cloth around her head and dried her hair.
While Switch checked on Presley, Anonym got changed into the dry clothes that he had left for her.
Upon his return, he clicked his fingers again. A bed appeared close by. Picking her up, he laid her on the bed, and he laid down beside her, "Sleep."
He heard a humph, but she didn"t leave his arms. He wanted to tell the world that he could possibly tame this little runt! He felt like he had won some kind of victory!
***
The next morning, Switch woke up first, after awhile of watching the girl beside him sleep, he slipped away and went to Presley.
"Presley!" He yelled, happily.
"Switch?"
"Yeah, we have something to do today!" Switch clicked his fingers and the lovely, sparkling treasures disappeared.
"Hey!"
Laughing, Switch looked at his best friend. "Want to show off in front of Anonym?"
Presley took a moment, then lost his anger to happiness. "Really!?"
Switch nodded, "She wants us to sort out a problem of people possibly coming after her because she killed the Emperor."
Presley nodded, he clearly didn"t totally understand, but waited for Switch to continue.
"So, she wants to see some action. Want to join me?"
Presley nodded his head with great enthusiasm, looking quite funny, as it was a dragon. He hadn"t been able to do anything big since coming to this planet. He hadn’t complained though, because this was the first time since meeting Switch that he was able to have so much treasure! The best thing he has done, besides be with his treasure, was ride with Anonym and scare all those people!
This dragon was ready to team up once again with Switch and show off to Anonym!
Suddenly, Switch sighed, "I"m just worried it might be too much destruction...And too quick, since Anonym is still asleep we"ll have to discuss this further."
It really was a predicament for Switch, he could totally destroy the whole of the Rain Clan and even make it unliveable for thousands of years! But with that idea, he thought it would be too much of an overkill and not enough of a good impression on Anonym. Having seen it first hand, on his own planet, he had also seen the way the world had sort of gone backward because of it as well. People became extremely scared of him and quite a lot of the population had been in that explosion, making people have to find new people to become the Magic officers and Elders.
Remembering his past, he had hated that his secret of being the most powerful person being leaked out, and that they had all come after him. For years, he had told them to stay away from him, but they never listened and even trapped him enough to scar his face...He had gotten very angry and just exploded the capital, without a moment"s thought. If they had just stayed away, they might even still be alive today...But he had no regrets. They had taken enough from him and Presley! Studies, stealing Presley, using Presley, using his new friend...He would do the explosion all over again!
Presley only thought of one idea, and that was that he and Anonym could fly around and cause havoc from the sky.
Switch had nodded, coming back to the present. He said that it was a promising idea and remembered that there were things, that he could materialize, that would blow up on impact. Maybe she could throw them down?
If the Rain Clan were to hear these thoughts and ideas...
