Theia Pov
Theia- I look at myself and can't help but stare at how god damn gorgeous I look I don't mean to brag or anything even though I did not want to go I'm kinda happy I got the opportunity to get all dolled up
Nisha- damnnnn. Girl you look stunning
Theia blushes a little
Theia- stop it you already got me to go no flattery needed
Nisha- never these girls have nothing on you
We both laughed
We leave taking a carriage to the small palace
Stepping out the carriage we both get down and for a second I take it all in it is really quite big we enter the ballroomNisha already disappeared into the crowd of people as they all want to meet, talk with the host I opt to find a nice isolated quiet place and hide until the gathering is over so I can make my escape
While the party was going on and noise was booming in the ball room I sneak around the palace making a good sense of direction being I have never been in here before; it's much bigger than I imagined but just as polished as I thought it would be. I walk up some stairs that take me to a private library area connected to a room filled with artifacts and things that look shiny,valuable and important so of course I go in there to inspectforcing myself not to touch anything
Walking around slowly and admiring while still hearing the commotion of the party downstairs at least I am away from everybody including the dark—......
Before I could finish the sentence I sensed a presence before the presence was given a voice and face
The Darkling- Can I help you?
I freeze my eyes going wide body tensing before turning around to meet a tall attractive man in all black I say nothing just stare before realizing who he was
Theia- Oh sorry
I say looking away from him
While rushing towards the door I came from he stepped in front of me and I jump a little taken a back
The Darkling-Who are you? and what are you doing away from the party?
Theia- frozen in fear but also curious I look up to meet his eyes apologizing again
Theia- sorry I just am not really good with parties and...
Before I could go on rambling he gives me a look that somehow compelled me to get to the point and answer his question
Theia- My name is Theia Drakos
Nobody had ever made me feel this way or answer to them but all he did was look at me and I talked. We were inches apart so I took two steps back licking my lips, blinking profusely and swallowing hard I was nervous
The Darkling took two steps forward filling the gaps between them once again lifting one hand and putting one finger under Theia's chin making her look at him and their eyes meet
The Darkling-"Theia"
He sent shivers down my spine by saying my name
The Darkling- you're the one Nisha is always talking about she says a great deal of good things about you it's good to finally meet you
His hand is no longer touching me but our eyes never leave each others we are both staring into each others souls
Theia smiles awkwardly
Theia- it is a pleasure to finally meet you general kirigan
I knew I was lying and somehow I felt like he knew too
The Darkling- Really because I was told you are not a fan of us here at the little palace
He gives a small teasing smile raising his eyebrows waiting for me to respond to his taunting but before I open my mouth to defend my distaste
The Darkling- I'm joking the pleasure is all mine plus I would be suspicious too if I were on the other side of these walls. Please call me Aleksander I want us to be good friends ms.drakos
He extends his hand for a handshake and I quickly take it don't want to leave him waiting
