Star Crossed In Time

I slowly point at myself with a confused look. He watches the jester before nodding his head. I shake my hand and quickly say "I think you've misunderstood something. I was kidnapped before by the Bandits but now, I'm with the person I want to be with."

His cold, dark eyes narrow on me as he asks "You're with the King of the Demonic Realm?" I sigh in relief and nod my head saying "Exactly! He rescued me from the Bandits so I'm fine now. I really appreciate you trying to help me though." I give him a warm smile and watch him freeze. 

He quickly looks away and stares at the wall next to us. I turn to look at the wall a few times before looking back to him, perplexed. Uh, hello? He suddenly turns back to me with a stern look and says "It's a good thing you're okay but you should know that the King is an evil man."

I frown at his words and shake my head saying "I think there's been a misunderstanding...  the King of the Demonic Realm is a nice person." His cold eyes harden as he stares at me from the middle of the room. The air in the cave seems to get several degrees colder as we stare at each other in silence. 

I break the silence first when I ask "Do... do you know the King?" The handsome man scoffs at me and says "You could say that. He murdered my entire family and even tried to kill me! If it wasn't for you, he would have succeeded." 

I feel my whole body turn cold as my poor brain tries to keep up with him and what he says. Bai Lei killed his family?? The man sees the look on my face and sneers at me as he says "What, you don't believe me?" 

I look up to the man with conflicting emotions. The man's eyes held his truth... Did it bother me that Bai Lei killed his family? Yes, it does a little bit but that's only because I'm from a different world with different rules.  

What I know from Bai Lei though... he wouldn't just kill this man's family without a reason. "Can You tell me what happened?" I ask with a soft voice. The man's face hardens as he says "There's nothing to tell. He killed my family so I will kill his while making him watch. Then, I'll kill him." 

I snap my mouth shut in shock and quickly realize that this man is dangerous. I nervously lick my lips and quickly look around the room as I try to figure out how to get out of this. When he catches me, his smile grows as he says "Get used to it. This will be your new home." 

I glare at him and say "Look, whatever happened between you and Bai Lei is between you two. Let me go. I have nothing to do with any of this, okay?" I try to pull my legs but they're still dead making it impossible to move. 

He chuckles and lowers himself in front of me while looking me over with dark eyes. "When I first saw you, I thought you were an angel. I thought I had already died..." He lifts his hand up to my face, causing me to lean away from him with a frown. 

His smile only grows as he says "I couldn't see you very well then, I had lost too much blood but I do remember these eyes. They've haunted me since... You are really too pretty for your own good." He says in a low cold voice, causing me to shiver.

This man... why does he seem so familiar and yet so foreign? "W.. who are you?" I ask in a soft whisper with a sinking feeling. His cruel smile grows as he says "I'm your new world. Whatever you need, I will provide. Everything." 

I slowly shake my head and ask "You... what's your relation with Bai Lei?" I ask the question out loud but I'm almost sure I already know the answer. His cruel smile is back as he leans forward and stops at my ear. "Bai Lei's older brother, Lei Wei. It's a pleasure to meet you, Nova. I have a feeling we'll get along just great."    

I quickly try to summon my powers but nothing happens. Lei Wei chuckles as he leans back to look at me with a smile while saying "This cave is special. You won't be able to use your powers here, no matter how hard you may try."

He slowly stands and fixes his dark blue robes as he says "I have a few more things to settle so I'll leave you to get acquainted with your life because from now on, this will be the only thing you know. This cave and me." With that, he turns and disappears. Leaving me in a raging mess.

"HAH... Hahahaha!!! Nova, you've really outdone yourself this time you IDIOT!!!" I yell as I flop back onto the soft bed. I continue to laugh as thoughts and images flash through my head at the speed of light. 

This cave will be the only thing I'll know? I slowly lift my head and look around the nicely decorated cave with an evil smirk. If you want to play dirty, two can play that game bastard! If he thinks I'll behave like a proper lady, he has another thing coming. I'll do just as he said... I'll get to know this room VERY well...

I lower my head back down on the bed with my fist clenched in anger. This girl has walked down Bourbon Street at night, down in New Orleans, ALL BY MYSELF!! Do you really think you can scare me when I walked through streets full of Voodoo!?!  

Bring it, pretty boy! You won't have time to worry about Bai Lei when I get done with you. You'll wish you had left me be by the end of all this... hehehe. Never Threaten a lady... especially this lady.
