Chapter 17 A Fastest Route To A Mall

Liliana Roslyn's POV.

Rays of light translucently fills the room from the glass beaded wall paper on the ceiling. They travel over to my skin, softly warming it and it's action, awakening me.

Staggeringly, I walk to the designed mirror fix on the wall to check my self. As far as I can tell, everything looks normal. My milky skin brightens normally and my hair looks still wavy, just lesser than I remember. The waves are disappearing and bringing out straight hair. Well, apart from that, I'm still as awesome as before. Looking for humans that respect their beauty, count me in.

My brain suddenly flash back to that erotic morning when king Adrian showcases his heavenly body. That stunning body that always sends shivers down my core. Plainly, can I remember his completed abs. That delicious six packs on his stomach. His muscled chest too, well I couldn't see much of them. The reflection from the mirror didn't let me see them. Why was I even pretending to be fast asleep? I should have known that he'd have caught me.

Suddenly, a sound come from the outside part of the door. I stealthily tiptoe out of the bedroom on an intention to know where the sound came from. Have I ever declared how big this wing is? Well, it's luxuriously big.

Carefully, since I can't see king Adrian. I check each walls and fixed on them is a portrait. Each imaginary drawings sends a message of meanings through me but since I didn't know much about aesthetic, I guess, I'm lacking out on their meanings.

Soon, I get to the room, where the sound came from and so far I haven't met any security. I move my ears closer to the door but it seems like its strong product is preventing me from hearing anything. My hands hesitantly opens the door slowly. Hundreds of thoughts fill my head.

Why the hell am I opening the door? Who knows what's inside? Maybe its some bender who might possibly kill me, right?

Still, I continue to opening the door until it opens finally and I see him. King Adrian.

I know I should faint but somehow, something is preventing that. I just didn't see king Adrian. I'm seeing three king Adrian. What the freaking hell?!

I clear my throat but no words comes out. What human would even speak after seeing the impossiblity that king Adrian just did?

He turns his head slowly towards me. Well, three he turns their head towards me.

"I should have put a don't enter, I'm busy sign on the door." One of him says. Is he indirectly insulting me?

"I'm sorry. I.." I'm lost of words and I don't even know if its about the three him or because of his half naked frame that I'm seeing. He's wearing only a firm blank pant that hugs his muscled legs. His sweet and juicy-like chest are on full display. I think they are even moving as he's talking. He's too delicious.

Oh! No, no, no

Oh! Yes, yes, yes.

Argh! What's wrong with me?!

As he's standing up, the other him evaporate as they turn into a glowing light that enters his body. One can see the streams of electric surges running down from the veins on his neck adjoining with his shoulders to down the veins that enters his ass, and I can't help but wonder how erotic it'll be for me to see if it reach his horse-like...

"Follow me." King Adrian says. His voice holds amusement. Why? I hope he's not reading me like Lucas.

My legs follow behind him but with my consent. For now, I'll follow him to anywhere once it deals with me seeing his body.

We walk back in the direction I had came from but I didn't notice much of my surroundings for now. All my undivided attention goes to is his body.

"As feisty as your behaviors are is as dirty as your thoughts is. Have you ever wonder that, or is my body the only thing you ever wondered?" King Adrian says. You can imagine him smirking even without looking in his direction.

What?! How did he know that? Oh, shit! He could read my mind my subconscious reminds me. Can't a human girl have a break. I'm sure embarrassment is covering my face right now.

"Why do you think your body is the only thing I ever wondered?" I manage to reply. A question for a question, I guess. Why are we even having this conversation? Why is he being nice? Well I kind of liked it

We are almost back at the room as I can see those portrait, I saw before.

"What makes you think that I think my body is the only thing you ever wondered?" King Adrian reply questioningly. Seriously! We seriously are going to have this silly interrogative conversation.

Because you said it. I wanted to reply, but I would play along.

"What makes you think that I would wonder my captor's body and why are you boasting about your body?" Oh, no! I've gone too far. Hope he doesn't decapitate me. I should have said sexy body. Oh, gosh! I'm officially and legally whipped.

King Adrian's eyes tilt to my direction and I quickly press my lips into a thin line. Somehow, my breathing doesn't quickens nor does my body tremble. Where did this sudden confident came from?

"You are truly fearless." King Adrian says. Somewhat, a question. The technical sound of the door opening makes me face front again. King Adrian enters before me and he gesture for me to sit on the bedside while he sit on the armchair next to the bedside.

"You have questions about what you saw, don't you?" King Adrian ask and I nod hesitantly, hoping this isn't some trick.

"Ask them." He says.

"What are..." I stop when king Adrian bends a pinkish substance into a wine cup and my face squeezes in disgust.

"Oh, my apologies. I've exhausted my powers since the past hours." King Adrian says. Why is he apologizing? I'm his emit. A lowborn. He has the right to drink me instead. I'm just glad he didn't. Well, I wouldn't have object even if he did. Don't mind my subconscious, she's very naughty.

I nod again and continue. "What are those people. The ones that..."

"I understand." He says, thankfully cutting me off since I don't know how to ask supernatural questions. "They are my powers, and can be synonymize as thoughts in human. Yeah, I know thoughts are mental, but for us. We can either call them out mentally or physically. Either ways work."

"Cool." I guess, that's all I can voice out.

King Adrian stands from his seat and return the cup back onto the table.

"How are you feeling?" He ask and I look over to his directions. How am I feeling? What's that suppose to mean? Did something happen?

"Um.. Fine?" I reply, but kind of sound like a question. Maybe, he's asking so he can feed from me. I hope not.

"Hmm.. At least, you're fairer. Do you drink wine?" He change the topic.

"No." I lie.

King Adrian scoff. "For someone feisty like you, I can't believe you'd hate wine."

"I don't hate it."

He looks over to me. Facial expression,  cunning. "Got you there."

I sigh and stompily walks to the table and stand beside him while I collect the new wine cup which he's filled with wine. I rush down the content as it sweetens my taste bud. My body brush against king Adrian as I lightly slam the cup onto the table.

Realization hits me, making my breathing quickens. My internals explode into millions of dirty thoughts. I've never had a reason to think sexually before until I met king Adrian. Why does he have this effect on me? Why does my body react to him just by our body brushing against one another?

After mentally forcing myself to step back, I quickly release the cup and step back.

King Adrian clears his throat and walk over to the window sill of the room. "Have you been here before?" He ask, referring to the balcony. I shake my head and walk closer. I love this mode that I'm in with king Adrian. Its something, I never thought possible.

My hands scruple whether I should open the sill or not. "Go ahead." King Adrian says and I open the sill, serving as an entrance to the balcony.

With each step, the breeze swoosh onto my face and I take in each crispy smell of the beach scent afront the tall building. King Adrian's wing is pretty tall as I walk near the cool rail. My hands firmly grip the rail and I look down. From my far away, the waves disturb the ocean as the cloudy blue sky reflect on the water.

I turn left to king Adrian, who's resting his elbows on the rail. "Why?"

He looks at me, confused. "Why are you doing this? Are you trying to brainwash me? Are you going to kill me soon? Is this some of your tricky ways?... Why... Why do..." I suddenly stop. Have I lost my mind? This would definitely lead to death. Why I'm such a mood-spoiler. I should have continued in enjoying the mood.

"Finish that sentence." King Adrian commands. "Liliana, say it." Why is he so concerned about whatever I said mindlessly and not about me disrespecting his authority. "Ana, fini.."

"Why do you make me feel special?!"

"Because you are." King Adrian says and my knees go weak. My eyelid flutter for seconds and before any further thinking or saying could come from anyone of us while my brain goes into haywire.

All in a second, extremely flashy. King Adrian picks me up and position me in a piggyback ride. Before my nerves could receive any impulses, he helps me hook my legs against his waist and he jumps off the balcony in his inhuman speed. The air whip both our faces, my hair swirl around in the air as gravity pulls us down. When we are in like centimeters from harshly hitting the sandy ground, King Adrian bends water from the ocean. The water runs curly in a c-shape towards us and as soon as it hit king Adrian's feet. He bends it upward while I shut my eyes tightly close. Assuming, if this is another condition I would be shouting like crazy but holding onto king Adrian's shoulders calms me.

By the time I open my eyes, we are near a skyscraper building. I look down and all I could see is a gradually-turning-thin water. Nothing else except the ground.

Wait!

Nothing else! If I fall, that means death! I try to hold onto king Adrian's frame more tightly as we are near the building until my brain reforms those letters. D. E. A. T. H.

Death! Ah!

My brain goes into disorder and I start to yell, an ear-piercing scream.

"Calm down, Liliana." King Adrian shouts to beat the whooshing sound of the air that obscuring any other sounds. "Or I'll let you fall." What!!! He dare not!

Instantly, I cling more tightly than ever before. King Adrian teases me dangerously by suddenly tilting his waist. In return, my legs slip from his waist. My scream reach a new level that I'm sure the whole of earth would be shaking.

My hands start to slip due to the gravity, from his shoulders and he seem unaffected.

Finally, my grip loosen on him and I fall. I scream as I feel myself descending. Instead of hitting something, nothing happens expect that I feel my legs standing on grounds.

Grounds!

My eyes snap open and I find myself in a shopping mall stocked with tons of clothing. Great! What a fastest way to a mall. Quickly, I raise my gaze up but all I see is the ceiling of the skyscraper building.

"Earth bender powers. The ceiling is a rock-based material." King Adrian says from beside me and I fling, hitting my a** onto the hard ground. He stretch forth his hands for me to take but I ignore it and stand by myself. My a** still itch from the impact as I talk back.

"What was that about?!" I half-yell, half-ask. My mind's still in haywire both from the minute-ago deadly thing he did and what he told me at the balcony.

"What was what about?" He teases, pretending to be nonchalant, like nothing happened just minutes ago.

"You've got to be kidding me." I say and rush towards him while clenching my fist. I'm going to take off that smirking face even though I love it. King Adrian move from the direction my fist goes and in seconds he's at my back as he uses his hand to bring down mine while his other hand folds my frame and pull me closer to him. He got me so easily. He's really a predator. He knows how to easily take his enemies. No wonder he became the king.

"Is that all." He tease again. We stay at this close position for a bit while I feel myself calmed. His warm and cosy breathing breeze onto my milky skin and affection engulf us both. He leans closer to me while I slowly raise my head and bring them backwards to his shoulders. My neck, visible to mouth.

King Adrian suddenly pulls back but doesn't leave me as a footstep approach. A familiar bender comes into view but I couldn't remember him. Confusion sparkle in his eyes for a bit but clears them out when he realize that his king is looking at him.

"My apologies, king Adrian." The bender eye me before continuing. "(Speaking Latin.....)  In North American ducem Studiosissimus Oliverius Jace advenit, et regnum in declarat se videt te patrem, statim. Et suus 'pulchellus furore(The North American commander, Oliver Jace has arrived into the kingdom and he declares that he sees you, sire immediately. He's pretty furious). The bender says in a language that I don't know and I'm guessing he said it that way because he doesn't want me to hear. I just hope he doesn't abuse me or else I'd gut his throat.

King Adrian chuckles from behind me and reply. "Take him to a room and allow him to rest. I'll soon join him."

The bender bow and runs flashily out of the mall.

"I'm afraid, I can't stay longer." He says and unhook me. His eyes, looking at me from sideway.

"Hmm." I manage to say. Actually he's the first bender who would talk to me and I wouldn't be able to reply. Why does he have so much effect on me?

"So, back to what we came here to do. I've ordered some clothes for you and the workers here would help you with whatever choice you make. After that the remaining clothes will be brought to the castle. The clothing you chose is for tomorrow evening." He says.

"Okay." I say, still feeling unsure to ask any questions.

"Ana, please say something that keep me calm."

"Why.. Do I have to go somewhere that tomorrow?"

"Yes, I've summoned a meeting and as my emit, you've to be there too." He pause. "Its compulsory." He add and I force out a smile. Why do I feel like there will be other benders there, maybe cruel ones?

"Yeah, they will be there. The cruel ones." He chuckles sharply. "I'll see you later then. Follow the guards when they arrive. No troubles." He warns and I laugh. Okay, no troubles. In seconds, he's out.

When he's out of sight, a female bender walks towards me and leads me to another room with a smiley face. King Adrian must have ordered them to be nice. The room's glamorous frame didn't caught my undivided attention but the many feminine clothing that I saw shocks me. I've ordered some clothing  I remember some words of king Adrian. This isn't some clothing. Its more than a human like me could describe with words.
