Chapter 7 - 7 Is it love?

When Levy averted his gaze back to the lanterns, Audrey took turn and studied his handsome face, even her mother was witted by, those sparkling black eyes, with black eyebrows, a little bit sharp nose and his fuller lips, they were so eye-catching asif they were painted with pink on them. Those jawlines aaaargh! she found herself gawking at his beauty, he was truly one of a kind even though he wore a smirk most of the time .

She felt something weird growing inside her heart the longer she kept staring at him, the shop seller moved to her and said loud enough for both of them to hear "It's called love " the two of them stared at each other I'm confusion, question marks above their heads, What was this man talking about? Is he drunk? thought Rey "Pardon me" said Audrey "Whatever the feelings that develops in your heart right now lady then its for because if this guy, I saw it in your eyes... love" he pointed at Levyndrion , Audrey coughed shocked by the revealed nonsense, she cursed herself for asking Levy to pull down their mask , this man had to embarrass her infront of him ! She wondered how did this man knew if even she wasn't aware if what she was feeling for Levyndrion! How dare he embarrass her ? She wasn't ready for this ! especially with a questioning face of Levy .

She bit her lower lip thinking of how to get out if this crazy situation caused by this crazy man! Why did she come here at first place?.

"Ofcourse! I mean .... who would've hate their own cousins!" she faked a smile, that's when Levy's face dropped back to normal and looked somewhere else and at not her , she glared at the shop seller "Thank you sir!" .

She walked away as Levy followed her behind 'What? love ? she love him? no way! When did it happened? How?' that man must be drunk!

"We should get going before dinner " he smiled at her , pleased by this memorable night . She nodded and the two of them turned to leave , she spared a last glance at the shop seller and puffed her cheeks silently, thanks to heaven Levy hasn't payed attention to that stupid shop seller or else she just kept imagining what she would do then.

She felt like smashing him to the grounds for embarrassing her and left her feelings out in the public when even she had no idea of.

They head back to the castle just like the way they went out, nobody noticed about their escape today.

They had a lively dinner with the King and the Queen before returning to their respective bedrooms.

Several days passed, Prince Levy was very good unshaped now with all the training, and his abilities were beyond anybodies imaginations, he was unpredictable, his friendship with Audrey grew much bigger than before, they became close voluntarily with the several sneak out and sneak in from the castle.

The date of birth of Crown Prince Levy's was approaching, the two friends planned to meet at the market place in the evening before the feast dinner. Audrey had a special surprise for him so she went ahead of him to prepare for it.

Levyndrion was already used and aware of every escaping route right now in the castle thanks to her, so it won't be a big deal for him to sneak out. What worried him now was how is he going to escape from the birthday feast that was taking place for him two hours later .

The Queen have been stalking him since morning and pamper him for being a new born, "Finnick have you written to your mother lately?" the two of them were walking to the garden and sat down on a bench "Yes my Lady, I sent her a letter this morning " he answered, "That's good son, she must be very restless to be away from her son" she held his shoulder and squeeze it gently, Levy nodded, he would be lying if he says that he doesn't miss his mother, on a date like today, the whole kingdom would be aware that it was his birthday.

Sigh , a frown settled on her face "I haven't seen Rey since lunchtime, I wonder what she is up to" , 'Me too' he said within her.

He got up quickly making the Queen look at her with surprise, waiting for him to explain what made him shoot up like an arrow "My lady ... I'll go look for her , I'll be back" he turned to leave "You don't have ..." she didn't even get to finish Levy had already disappeared heading to look for her mischievous daughter, she chuckled shooking her head "Poor guy .... Rey .... there's no way you can find her" she turned to look at the sky, she creased and felt uneasy somewhere "It's supposed to be a full moon tonight my Queen, many things will happen " came a calm voice behind her , she turned to find an old man, he was the priest that serves in their castle Chapel.

"I guess that is why I feel very uneasy, my heart is very heavy, I just hope nothing bad to happen " her voice was filled with concerns, the night of full moon was a very dangerous and tragic one to their realms, different creatures manifest power but the problem was that some ends up harming the innocents.

She kept praying for her daughter to still be inside the castle premises and haven't gone out like usual.

Levyndrion wore his ninja outfits and sneaked out of the castle, for some reason he had a smile on his face, he couldn't stop thinking of the so called surprise that his cousin was going to give him.

He took a horse and raced to where he was told to meet with her.

On the other hand Audrey stood in the forest tha was near to the market place, jer hands kept behind her with a box that was wrapped with a piece of cloth, a beautiful smile plastered on her face , she couldn't wait for him to reach too. "He should be here by now" she said drawing circles other her shoes on the ground.

The sky had long became dark , she could hear the birds chirping and owls making noise, her smile fell , "What is taking him so long?" she kept questioning the trees and her horse since there was nobody else to talk to , gasp "Did they catch him?" she shook her head "No way! he is too smart for those narrow minded guards " she bit her lower lip .

Levyndrion had ran into a group of people, the horse tripped over a branch making him fell down , he bumped his forehead on a stone "Shit!" he hissed, the horse ran away as if it sensed what was about to happen in the dark forest, "Hey where are you .... Fudge!" he cursed seeing it bolting away.

He got up and placed his hand on his forehead and felt it, he was bleeding, he took out his handkerchief and wiped it, before he could take another step , he was surrounded by man glaring at him. One of them stepped forward while the others circled him "What is a pretty boy doing in this dark forest?" he said and unsheathed his sword .

Levyndrion knitted his brows 'What have you got yourself into Levy?' he said within him, if he doesn't do anything these people are gonna kill him , he staggered back and pushed the one that was behind him and bolted .

The man followed him from behind, he didn't have any weapon to cover him, the only solution was to reach at the market no matter what, he can't die yet , his legs were too fast, one of the man released an arrow, he dodged it after hearing it's sound.

The moon started to brightened, sending shivers and making his blood boiling, like he had lava spreading on his veins instead of blood , "Aaaargh!" he groaned still running.

He suddenly felt his legs loosing energy and fell to the ground like a sack panting . "What's the point of running pretty boy, you can't even handle your feet" yelled another man and they soon surrounded him again in a circle.

Levyndrion was sitting on his knees groaning, his heart pounding, his heartbeats increased ten times faster once the moonlight touched him, he glared at it and his eyes changed to all white with no lens , the man took steps back shocked ! he groaned tears streaming from his white eyes "Aaaargh! it hurts!!" his voice suddenly became stronger and deeper than before, he lowered his head down, he could feel his bones taking turns as if they transforming into something else.

The pain was unbearable! he roared like a thunder! "Seems like he is a beast" said one of the man perplexed, all of them tightened their grips on their swords, "We should kill it before it transform and kill us!" he swings his sword "I think we should just run Away!" came a scaredy voice from another man his legs moving back in ready steady stance.

"RUUUN!!!!" roared Levyndrion not lifting his head to face them, his body had already started to change to something they can't fathom no matter how much they rubbed their eyes in disbelief

He gave them a warning signal, he was aware of what he was capable of doing once he shifts but these man has a death wish! No humans are always stupid wanting to witness everything! and his other self would be honoured to enjoy killing them , he groaned for the last time and transformed completely, their eyes widened to see such hideous monster standing before them, he roared "I told you to run away! humans are so pathetic!!" he said pulling one of them and tore his head with his sharp and long teeth, his blood splashing on his face making him look even more deadly, he grinned at them "Fools!!!" he spitted, with just pointing his finger he commanded another man to go to him, he voluntarily moved his feet and went into the monsters arms, Levy's eyes had changed to Amber by now, he held his neck and sanked his fang draining the man's blood.

The other man ran for their lives. Levyndrion disappeared and appeared before them, "You should listen when you are warned!" he hissed making his bloody fangs visible, he sticked his hand right through the man's chest and pulled out his heart before dropping him down, he squeezed the heart to have the bloody juice fall in his mouth, he suddenly felt something pricking his own heart and he fell down to his knees again transforming back to his human form, he growled in pain, he felt like someone was tormenting him , the other man ran not waiting for him to shift again and finish them too.

When Levyndrion lifted his head he mer with a silhouette of a girl standing before him, his eyes were blurry.

Audrey stood there for a while waiting for Levyndrion but he never came , she decided to get into the woods after hearing a groaning sound , her eyes widened in surprise to see a ferocious creature killing people so brutally that her heart stated to pounce in a wild pace.

She hid behind a tree watching the massacre taking place .She was even more shocked to see the creature transforming back to human but then that human was .... Levyndrion! She gasped and covered her mouth, tears streaming down , she didn't understand if it was fear or pity that she was feeling right now.

She closed her eyes hearing him groaning in pain, she staggered back hesitating to go to him but the next second she broke all of her boundaries and ran to help him, she stood few steps away from him , Levyndrion fell down to the ground unconscious, Rey ran down to him and squatted, she placed his head on her laps , he was reeking with blood that covered his face and hands, she cried "Levyndrion! Levy!! wake up!!!" she cried out loud , she was afraid that he was going to leave her and die.

Back in the castle the feast was already settled but the two of them were nowhere to be seen , the King ordered his guards to look for them.

Audrey's head was spinning thinking ofnwhay to do, he pulled him and laid him against the tree, she went away and came back with her horse, she struggled alone for a while until she was able to lay him on the horse, Audrey climbed the horse and sat at the front , she used a rope that was placed at one side of the saddle this whole time and tied Levy with her, she tightened the rope around her waist so the man on her back wouldn't fall. She kicked the horse and hurried back home .

Levyndrion opened his eyes and all he could see was hairs dancing on the air , Rey glanced at him , she was relieved that he was alive "Thank you heaven! you are back ! I thought you were going to leave me" she cried and increased her speed to the castle.

Levyndrion couldn't understand what she was saying or anything, he could only see her hairs that was hitting his face and her back for which he leaned on he kept closing and opening his heavy eyelids until he couldn't open them again and became unconscious again.
