Chapter 11 learner
Liliana Roslyn's POV.
Unedited
The suppose to be small chat conversation between Anne and I has gone into a more expatiative one than I've thought but I couldn't be more grateful. Thanks to the chit chat, I learned more than enough from her about benders. Well, things that she knows about them.
According to her, emits are different from slaves just as commander Lucas had corrected. Emits are chosens that stays close to benders whenever they go. They sacrifice their; body, blood, and mind forcefully. They follow every instruction their owner give them.
They are known as life replenisher, helping benders to regain their weakness and powers.
While slaves are known as former Emits. Once a bender buys another emit, the former one is regarded as a slave but nevertheless, can still be fed from, from any bender which makes them awful and even more worst than emits. Which means Anne is a slave- a former emit of commander Lucas. In the case of King Adrian, he chooses his emit every year in whichever country he resides in. Obviously he owns the world. Once he chooses another emit, his former one is left behind in the continent he is in. Then his former emit becomes the continent's commander's slave. It means that if king Adrian chooses another emit over me then I'll become commander Lucas' slave. Creepy!
The conversation later drift to Linda - commander Lucas new emit.
Linda is kept in a different room in commander Lucas' chamber. The bitch's kept in because commander Lucas is feeding from her since she's his new emit. Probably due to commander Lucas weakness, he's feeding from the source and I'm sure Anne doesn't know that commander Lucas was injured. Guess only I knew it. But the question is, why would king Adrian show me commander Lucas weak self, if it's to kept as a secret?
Somehow I still wonder why king Adrian would help me out, I mean.. heal me. He's never heard of that.. Helping humans. And why would I even strip myself and wear his shirt? Isn't it ridiculous? No wonder his wonderful scent hits my nostril when I woke up, I thought it was because, I woke up on his bed. Oh, gosh! I feel like I'm still inhaling that beautiful scent. I wonder how his wonderful, hypnotizing and intoxicating hazel eyes must have looked down on me, when I wear only his shirt and when he smile, I wish I can remember that smile myself and not from Anne telling me.
Oh, no! I sound like a whore! Like that pathetic Linda. I'm not her. I have self-control. I'm not brainwash by my enemy's beauty. Pull it together! My conscious shouts.
No, we enjoy thinking about king Adrian. My subconscious says quietly.
Oh, God! Jeepers creepers!
After finally focusing on Anne's talk again...
... Europe - commander Lucas continent, breeds emit only, no wonder why, I've never seen any dator or emunctor lactis before. Most bender prefer coming here to pick a slave, so they can get the best and strong and subservient emit that has received the best academy training on 'how to be a perfect emit'
Australia - commander Felix's continent, is for breeders who are also called dators, and also a continent for emunctor lactis.
**********************
As if on queue, immediately Anne and I finish our little chit chat, one of the men in black, amber eyed bender enters the quarter, and order me to follow him. As always, he won't win over me without passing through my cursing words because I don't give a shit! Before the words could leave my mouth, I find myself in a light-dark room after which the door creaks close. To hell with their stupid air bender speeds!
When my accommodation fully focuses on the dim intensity of the room, a broad frame of a familiar figure meets my gaze.
"It's been long since we last saw." Commander Lucas says. Its true, and that's the second time he'd save me from dying. I'm internally sorry for taking him as an actor, he didn't deserve it, and apparently, he has always been the opposite of the race and their wickedness. Suddenly, the destructions of the referendarius flows in my mind. The injured humans, and all. I wonder if they'd have even begun the repairment of that place. Oh! The blurry frame that commander Lorenzo went to meet must have been commander Lucas. Now, I think my questions are gradually diminishing.
"You are less.. Fiery and talkative like I've known you to be." He says again. He's even more creepier than I've known him to be and he hasn't even known me for that long, so how does he quickly gather some of my character?
Commander Lucas sigh. "Liliana, please be lively during this conversation. I'm sure we don't wanna talk mentally."
"So, how did the quarters treat you?" He ask, obviously restarting the conversation.
"Does it even matter. My remark?" I say.
"Brave one, it does to me." He says. "No matter what Ana, always never let your arden die."
I'm starting to get worried. What's arden?!
"It means, fiery. A perfect nickname for you." He's reading my mind again!
"Oh! Where are my manners? please take a sit." He gesture to a arm chair while he take the one opposite mine and that's the creepiest. Unmindfully, I take a look at his gorgeous body.
Commander Lucas is currently wearing a inner white round neck and a black flannel shirt on top, the sleeves are rolled up, with a black jeans and a white sneakers. He looks hot but a hint of weariness still shows on his face. I may hate his race for an eternity, but nevertheless, he is my savior. He might have done bad things, guaranteed that's how he receive the one and only, callous, and cold-hearted names. Still.. Everyone always would have done bad things. Oh! Gosh! How cliche is that?!
"Stop eye-fucking me. Adrian is available." He suddenly says and cutting me off guard, blood start to run up my face. Am I blushing! Why does he have to mention king Adrian, that sexy chick guy. Flashing back to the room : king Adrian is really endowed below. Seriously I'ven't seen much of dicks, well expect at the academy. When our instructors would show us videos of penises during sex lessons, or dator's training. I'd call it.
My eye didn't want to look away but, you know.. I can't let him know my arising lustfulness. Just the girth alone can make me go on my knees and beg for him and the length... Like a horse dick. Have you ever seen a mature member? That's the kind, king Adrian possess. Adjoining with his sharpened v-line. Its so amazing, I felt like eating him up. And that's a hell of bipolar disorder for me!
Snapping out of thoughts, I see commander Lucas watching me with amusement. Oh! No! I hope its not what i'm thinking! He's not reading me! Nooooo!!!
Suddenly he burst out laughing. "Seriously. You.. Are.. Amazing." He says between laughter.
Quickly I cover my face. I've had enough of embarrassment. "Please stop." I beg, suddenly feeling some courage to talk. Commander Lucas has always be friendly and I doubt he's going to hurt me. At least he could have done so since a long time ago, or maybe he's just waiting for me to like him and then he'd kill me. Well.. Either ways, I can't regret. It's not like I don't want death before or.. Friendship.
"Well, I'm not the one with the dirty mind." Commander Lucas flash me an annoying smirk, painted with a wink. Once again. What's wrong with him? Isn't he the badass king of Europe anymore?
"Well, I am still but never to you, Ana. Royals never betray royals. Rule 1." He says indirectly, cutting me off guard again and reading my head.
He narrows his eyes at me as he clears his throat. "Brave one, I want you to be free throughout this conversation and I'll like to know your opinion on each subject time permit us to prey on." He says searching my eyes with his. prey on,
Isn't he some kind of a serial killer predator?
"I wouldn't argue on that."
"What do you think about this place so far?" Questions, commander Lucas.
I scoff sarcastically with a sharp smile. "What do one think about a place that imprison one?" I answer without really answering. Question for a question, I guess.
"True." Commander Lucas leans more closer. "I'm sorry for the deeds my race has done unfairly to yours but nevertheless some things don't just happen without reasons." I think I'm probably getting used to slightly understanding his riddles.
"I.. When I.." Commander Lucas pause and close his eyes. The worries on his face brightens and he runs his hand through his full messy-curly dark blond hair. The coloration of his hair makes me appreciate my dark blond hair just as much as his blue eyes. His orbs are even more of cerulean than actual blue of mine and different from when I first met him. He looks like a god as his hair flop. Jeez! He and king Adrian are both amazingly handsome. While commander Lucas is a badass beauty kind of an attractive serial killer, king Adrian is more of dangerous and delicious, and his irresistible beauty compliment it. I wish one day I'd see him run his hand through his hair. I'm sure he'd look like a sexy, deadly and intoxicating shaped god.
Cerulean orbs focuses back on me. "Liliana, I intentionally saved you from Rogue from some reasons that can't be disclosed now. My race created the academy just to break and enslave your race, we consider you all as a fragile, useless and unwanted creatures rambling without a destination upon earth, somehow Ana, you didn't break nor crack. You pass all odds, and you did exactly the opposite of what my kind wanted which I've never seen any human do. And most importantly, you survive. You pass through all difficulty and carry the burden inflicted by my kinds, of being human without allowing it to fall and those alone are enough for me to save your life and if need be, I won't hesitate to do it again." Commander Lucas leans closer so that our knees are slightly touching each other.
"My little Arden, I promise you this, no evil shall come your way as long as I'm here. I shall always come to your aid whenever you might need help. Since the mass, I've never seen any human fight for their right but you did, you break all the wall of fear my race encloses on yours." His voice lowers more. "You.. Awoke the dead me. I thought, if I did all I did then I'd be free from.." Suddenly he smiles. "Like I've said, time will let you know all that you didn't know now. I'm going to help you in return, Ana. I will make you to become your real identity." He finishes riddingly. My human brain couldn't register all his hazy-like words. Starting from, what the hell is all this? Is this some kind of prank, or dream or some brainwashing thing? Is this all happening because I hit my head yesterday? But Anne should have told me if I hit my head pretty hard. Oh! She said king Adrian healed me, which means I must have hit it hard.
Then it certainly is a dream. My conscious accepts but subconsciously I decline.
In order to clarify and know the real truth, I quickly stand and run fastly to a table on which a pencil box lies and throw it at commander Lucas. Well.. I'm not a kind who will hurt herself just for some prove, especially when wanting to know if a bender is real or not, I'll very much hurt the bender than hurt myself by pinching my arm.
As the mighty man he is, the box didn't project centimeters away before his bent-water collects the box from reaching him and dropping it carefully and well arranged back onto the table.
"Cool, not a dream then." I admittedly say.
"What?!" Commander Lucas laughs his butt off, probably at my stupidness.
"You think this is a dream? I'm real, brave one. Real." He says between laughter. "I'm going to say this, you're funny." He add.
Like seriously, I'm funny?! He just told me one thing that no human, nor benders has ever told me before and he expect me not act this way or even more. It's the best compliment I've ever received, well, if it can be categories as one.
I'm speechless.
"Please sit, arden." He says and I heed, I didn't have much of a choice though.
"Ana, you are every one's savior, human and benders, whatever creature that may be out there. You are our redeemer. You are far better than us, more pure. You are meant to cure this unbalance, I can sense it." He speak in riddles for the thousandth time. Before he speaks again, I quickly ask.
"Why do you speak in riddles?"
