Chapter 11: Parthina's Stone
Each maiden had a crystallized stone around their neck. Not only did it protect their power it held their power, was their power, managed their power. Basically, it was a part of their life form. The greater the power the clearer the stone. Most Maidens stones were lavender in color. If you used your power for darkness, it became tainted and darkness and turned Red or Black. But Maidens like Ki and Oni had frosty stones. It meant they had greater, cleaner power and would have a longer lifespan. Ki, though old did not look a day 40 though she did have gray hair. Ki in human years was well over 110.
Parthenia was the first of her kind, her stone was clear. She was pure as pure could get. Her power had never been fully unleashed, and her stone was never visible. In the event it became visible it had a disguise. Her power was raw and real and great and abusable.
Parhenia was immortal. Her power would never ever die. It was a well-kept secret and yet Lord Yasa was almost sure that Lord Zane knew.
"Do not worry; we will fight this Parthenia." He helped her up. "In the meantime, try to stay calm and fight your fear."
Her hand slid from her face. "Ok." She breathed.
Parthenia stayed clear of Severin. She bathed and no matter how much she tried the red mark on her face would not go away. She missed having a bed. Sleeping on furs in the Fox den sucked, she didn't know how pregnant Foxes did it. She settled into her room and sighed. There was plenty of time to think of what was to come. Plenty of time to worry about her fears. She needed to work on keeping her power calm.
But she did think of them.
She knew Lord Yasa would fight for her, that Meldon would fight for her. Everyone but the person who should, would fight for her. Parthina could protect herself but keeping the secret of her true power and how infinite it was, was a top priority at least for now.
One day though it would not be a secret anymore.
"I'll never call him big brother again." She whispered.
Parthenia closed her eyes and tried to calm her heart and her fears.
Sleep came to her slowly.
Then he showed. He heard her words from outside, hiding his demonic aura well it seemed. He came and knelt seeing her face. His knuckles brushed against her face where he hit her. He tried to ignore the dried tears.
"Why do you anger me so?" He asked. His eyes ran down her body to her bump. She was growing and still all baby.
He had not wanted to hit her. He had a strong urge to join her, to cover her, to put his arm around her belly. He fisted his hand and pulled back. She needed to have this baby.
Kasonna was not helping his urges at all, in fact, he was becoming quite annoyed with her.
"Severin?"
Severin snapped out of his thoughts and found Parthenia looking at him.
"You should not anger me." He stated firmly.
She blinked slowly. "Your father told me that your demonic nature was unbalanced."
"And you defied me further, throwing it into a rage."
She rolled on her back. "Any way to calm it?"
"Ways I am not willing to indulge."
She blushed, "Oh."
His hand made contact with her belly, and he rolled it over her womb. "He fared well?"
"Yes."
Soon his hands were parting her robe, and she bent her knees up to shield her womanhood from him. Her hands went to her chest to hold her heart. His warm hand roamed over her belly, and he closed his eyes.
"You like pregnancy." She was curious.
"I suppose I will find out once my mate carries."
Parthenia rolled away from him, effectively cutting him off from her belly. His eyes snapped open, and they were pink with displeasure.
"Go away." She whispered. "Please."
He growled, "Woman."
"Don't. If you're going to leave us, ignore his existence, love her, then, please. Please." She was trying too hard not to cry. "Please, don't touch me so."
"Afraid of your big brother's touch now?"
"You're not my brother." She curled up. "You're nothing to me." It hurt her to her soul to say that. He did not believe her lie.
"But you are something to me." He told her, but before her heart could even skip a beat, he spoke. "You are my raw power." He leaned and grabbed her face and covered her mouth with his. He bit her lip, and she gasped. He took in her blood and stole a kiss. His hand went back to her belly as his mouth moved against hers.
He was painfully hard.
"No!" She breathed and pushed him away. "I said don't touch me."
"You love me." He stated, "I can see it in your eyes every time you look at me." He could hear it in her voice even she was trying to deny him.
"Go away!" She tried to push him back.
"Deny it!" He snapped,
She couldn't. "I can't." She yelled. She loved him and hated him.
"It will be your downfall, you foolish girl."
He could stand no more. How could she love him? He didn't love her. He fled from the room; he would not go to her again.
"I know." She cried at his final and raw rejection. The fire in her soul and turned to nothing but a flickering flame. Her body shook as she cried into her pillow. So much power inside her and yet she could do nothing about this feeling, this love of him.
Why did she love him so? He gave her no reason to love him and yet she did. She did not understand how something so wrong felt so right. Even now she just wanted to run to him.
She hated it.
