Chapter 2: New Home

November 3rd

Kira P.O.V

Prince Issac Castle (Underworld)

Waking up to no sun for the first time is weird. I know it had to be at least 8 am, but it was so dark it looks as if it was 8 pm. I sat up in bed and felt that I was no longer in the blood whit lace dress anymore. Instead, I had on some grey gym shorts and a large black t-shirt. My hair was frizzy due to the blood residue that was still in it.

"Glad your finally awake." I jump at a woman's voice that sounds familiar, but it didn't sound as soft as before.

"That's because im a demon love. We can change our appearances and even our voice, but for you, I stuck with the appearances you usually see every day." she got up to turn on the light, and at first, I was blind by it, but as my vision got clear I saw Monica sitting right next to me on this queen size bed.

How the heck did she do that? She was just across the room, and only in seconds, she's right next to me on this big queen-size bed with purple satin sheets with a big pillow with satin pillowcases. It had purple and white flower designs in it with silver patterns to make it pop on the blanket. What? I lovee that word pop (Laugh out Lound). She saw I was admiring the room the floor hand whit carpet, and it had purple lines in it as it was painted white and purple, and the bathroom wall had a little brown to add to it. Before i could finish admiring the painting room, Monica got up to do a tour.

"Ok, This door right here on your left is your bathroom. It's stock with every personal thing you need. from makeup to toothpaste, etc." She walks to the door on the right. "This is your closet. It has all clothes and accessories that you could ever need. Oh, and the door that's straight ahead are your shoes." She walked in front of the room. "This right here are your books and whatnots. this remote right here control different panels on the wall." She came to me and brought the remote that holds a lot of colors. "Yellow is for Tv." She showed me the Yellow button with the word tv on it. "The blue buttons are your books, and the green is for your music." she pauses and sighs, "Oh, and the red is for your movies. Ok." I nod and smile. "Good, Now Prince Issac would like you to meet him in his office in an hour. Don't be late, and He hates that." She walks to the door and turns around. " Im glad you are ok. When i found you dead, I panicked. The Master will explain everything. Go and shower." She looks so sad, but she gave me a reassuring smile as she walked over to the bedroom door.

"I'm glad you're alive; when i saw your neck, and i felt that you were dead, i lost it." i couldn't do anything but feel numb. Monica ran to me in a flash; my breath got caught in my throat for how fast she moved. "Sorry, i didn't mean to scare you. I keep forgetting." she had a guilty smile on her face this time. Is she blushing? I touched her cheeks, and her face was warm. She stops talking, and then her whole body started to calm down.

"Don't be sorry. I know it's something I have to get used to," I said as i kept my left hand on Monica's cheek. I felt my eyes burn and start to water, but i never broke eye contact. The room around us began to change; everything shimmers as if it was changing its image. I appear in a black family house. In this house it had s victorian style to it. It could be as if i was in the late 1800s. Children were running up and down the stairs. Everything felt like home.

"Mother, Dinner is ready and on the table." The woman walks to the living area as the children play with their dolls with tinker toys and little toy trains. "Monica, John, and Emily! Dinner served." She smiles as she saw the child run to the table. But when she said Monica, she didn't look like the caramel red hair woman I know. Oh no, this little girl looks different, more inhuman. Well, all the children did, to be honest, but she stuck out more because not only did i hear her name but the woman she was smiling up too. Monica had black hair like mines, and her eyes were different, just like mines was except her eyes were purple and green.

I freaked out when i caught a glimpse of the woman that called them for dinner. My eyes widen big, and it seems as if time had slowed down As if she was in slow motion. I touched the woman's cheek, and instantly different imagines of me pop up in my head. What was that? How can that be? i backed away from the family as if they were going to hurt me. With a blink of an eye, I was back into Monica's room in front of me. Her eyes were close, and tears were down her cheeks. She saw what i saw she had to. When she opened her eyes, she looked at me with a new type of expression that i was yet to discover.

"Who was that?" I asked, "Why are you looking at me like that." I asked, not sure what to do. So i looked down at my hands.

She grabs my wrist with a pissed-off facial expression. "Don't you dare peek inside my past again. You got that. Stay out of my head; you have no right, do you understand." She scared me, and I jump at the pain she inflicted on my wrist. I nod my head to let her know I got the point. She walked out the door without saying a word, and just like that, she's gone. I felt shooked up. What was that? And Who was that, and why does she have my face.

Walking into the white marble bathroom, I felt my body weakened as I began to take off my clothes. My tummy let out a loud rumble, and i knew its been three days since i last ate something. I'll ask your HIGHNESS for some food once i finish. The bathroom was huge; it had a shower and a hot tub, everything was white marble, two sinks, and A huge ass a mirror. Everything in it was beautiful. The toilet even had its room. This place is fantastic so far, and I wonder who this Prince Issac is and what makes him so great. But most of all, that memory in Monica's head. Who was that woman she keeps replying in my head like a bad song i can't get rid of, and why does she look just like me? Something doesn't seem right. Also, Why did Monica freak out the way that she did? I took off the large man t-shirt and baggie shorts.

I turn the water as hot as it can get, and then I hop in the shower. The hot water hits every inch of my body as I wash the worries away. Monica taught me that when I was little. She's been with me for a long time, and it's like she never ages a bit. When i would have a bad day, and I was all dirty from playing or even getting beat up by bullies, she would take me to the bathroom and say, "LET'S WASH ALL THE WORRIES AWAY!" As i sat here wondering about everything that happens and everything that's about to happen. The question that pops in my head every time i close my eyes.

"Why did she keep this from me?" I grab the shampoo that smells like peaches and began to wash the blood out my hair. As i see the drops of blood falling the water, i felt overwhelmed. I realized that on my birthday night, I lost two people who are so vital to me. I cried when i replayed what happened at the ceremony. My death and My mom's death. Even if she was a bitch to me and mistreated me. I loved her and will truly miss her. My eyes started to burn as tears continue to fall from my eyes. I couldn't remember much from my death, but it didn't stop me from mourning the human soul i lost that day. I wash the shampoo out my hair, and i grab a towel to wash my face. I felt the burn sensation in my eyes again, but this time, both eyes turn entirely white, the hot water that ran on my body i couldn't feel it at all. I faded into a white room this time, and Little images flash in my mind.

Lucien!

My brother and his pregnant wife...

It's night and wet...

Their scream...

What is happing? I couldn't make out what was going on. I place my hands over my ears and drop down to my knees so i can block out their cries. But no matter how hard i tried to block the cries and screams, they got louder and louder. Tears run down my face, and a loud bang came from the bathroom door. I jumped up when i felt strong arms bend down to pick me up. I smelt his scent before i know i have, so why can't i put a face with it.

"Oh, sweetheart, we meet once before. On our birthday, to be exact." He placed me on the toilet and got a towel to wrap around me. "This was to be a conversation meant for the office, but it was urgent because of the vision you had told me." I look confused as to how the hell he knew that. "My queen, i know everything. Connected for a reason," he paused and got me a glass of water. " I know what you are thinking, and I know your deepest darkest desires, and im here to give you everything you ask for in return, you love me unconditionally." He wasn't lying when he said we are connected. To be honest, i wanted to claim his lips right here and right now. "In due time, my love, but right now, tell me about your vision."

I drunk the water in three big gulps and placed the glass on the counter. Closing my eyes to calm my nerves, i focus on my vision. "It was about my father... Well, my brother's father Lucien." i swallow and try to, think hard to remember every detail about my vision. I open my eyes to see golden brown ones staring at me. It was like drawn to them. Couldn't take my eyes off them. I clear my throat a little and then shift my weight. When i look back into his eyes, i begin talking again. "I can't tell you everything but i can tell you, my stepfather,r is planning on killing my brother and his wife." the pressure to have an anxiety attack started to build up. I felt hot and sweated, my breathing started to pick up, and the room started to blur.

"Kira, the breath I will get them out." he pulls a phone out his pocket hit the redial button. "Hello, Are you in place." he waited for an answer then breathed slowly with a relieved face. "Come back in one piece, you hear." then he hung up. "When you had your vision, i saw it. I made arrangements to have them brought here." He spoke, and i just look at him. Why is he so lovely. He didn't feel like that man that night on my birthday.he felt dangerous.

"Well, sweetheart, i am both. Just like you im half human half demon." He smiles and looks at me. "My mother was a human, and my father is the angel of death." He pulls his scythe out of thin air as if it was magic. "Well, like i took my father's role, and now im the angel of death." He made the scythe go away, and then he bends down to pick me up. The towel fell off, and i tried my best to cover myself. "I've seen it...Your body, i mean, no need to hide it. i like what i see." he smiles a cocky smile, and i roll my eyes. As he begins to walk out of the bathroom, i couldn't help but as.

"Where are we? It's like almost noon, and theirs no sun." I asked

"Well, my bride, we are in this place called the underworld, but it's THE UNDER for short." he places me on the bed, walks over to the vanity, grabs a tray, and walks back. He uncovers the tray, and to my surprise, i had a plate with eggs, bacon, pancakes, and a lot of mixed fruit that i don't know how to read or write or do basic math. My parents did that to me, but Monica did teach me food, music, and art. I wish she could teach me more, but my parents didn't allow it. "Eat up while i explain." He snapped me out my thoughts, and i did what he said. "The day your mother found out she was pregnant with you, she knew she had to hide you. She came here seeking help and promise me to take you because of who your father was." I paused and looked at him, and i place the fork down on the plate.

"My father," i said above a whisper, but he heard me anyway. "Yes, Your father was and is known to be the most powerful god in the under." He walks back to the vanity and pours a funny looking orange drink and walks around and hands it to me. "Its orange and mango juice its good." i drink it and look at him to continue. "Ok, So your father is Hades. He meets your mother one summer night. She was dancing and singing to her ancestor to bring good days ahead at the cemetery. Your mother was a powerful witch and well known too, and Hades took a liking to her. Let me tell you no woman could ever catch his eye. I know him from the back of my hand. Anyway, he had to get to know her, and he did, Years go by, and he was planning to ask your mother to become his bride, but of course, she turns him down because of her father." He pauses to see if i got caught on. "Yes, i know she ran away with him when she told what was what. but what i don't know is why she lied and said he was human," i asked, kinda getting pissed off at this point. " And why did i touch my best friend face just to learn i was in one of her memory," I yelled, and the light started to flicker on and off.

"Kira, calm down, look at what you are doing." He points at the lights, and i saw them flicker; my emotions calm down, and the lights stopped.

"Sorry, Continue," i said and cleared my throat again.

"Now yes, he asked her to run away with her, and she did. And yes, he appears to be human; remember us demons can alter or appearance if we wanted to. Him being a god that's children play. Your mother didn't know who he truly was. Until that day, her father found them and sent an assassin to kill him. They were on the run after that. It took him three years for your grandfather to catch up with them and when he did. He showed no mercy. He killed your father's human body, which set him back to the under. " He looked me in the eye, and i reply with, "So does he know about me." i had to ask to see if it was true.

"He does now, the night your mother asks for help, she was eight months pregnant; that's is when she found out who your father is...She knew if i claim you as mines on your 18th birthday, he will find out." He stole a piece of bacon off the plate and look at me.

"So how did she figure that." i paused. "How did she know that Issac wants me in the first place. She never did," i said, getting upset again but try my best to control it.

"It's because of the fact she gave you all of her powers the day she died. Your mother was a powerful witch, but she was also the descendent of the goddess of love herself. Aphrodite." i just sat there with my mouth open i remember my transformation. My skin glow just as if i was a goddess. "Yes, my queen, you are now her descendant, your mother past it own. She wanted to die that night so her spirit could collide with you. She wanted to show you how much she loved you even when she hurt you. Your stepfather places a curse on her because of her stepping out on him before there engagement. So the only way she could get the message to you is by jumping inside of you." I didn't know i was crying until he wipes my face, My mother truly loved me, and I didn't even realize what she was going threw. I have just been hating her.

"She understands love, and i know she will connect you when the time is right." He hugged me and calm my crying when my bedroom door bust open. "Master, they are here and await your orders." i almost jumped out of bed, and the plate almost fell. He moved everything to my nightstand and pick me up bridal style. i couldn't help but blush, and the smile on his face already told me what he was thinking. We made it out of my room, DOwn a long hallway with paintings of beautiful, influential people. "Those are my family." HE said as we made our way downstairs.

"Kira!" my brother shouted and dropped his bag to run over to me. He hugged me so tight and cried his tears as if i was dead, and he would never see me again. But then i realized i had been killed.

"It's ok...I'm safe and alive and very different," i said and smile and hugged him back.

"Make room for me." Jess came and hugged me as well.

"Sam!" a man came from around the corner and stood next to the gorgeous god of a chocolate fountain with whip cream on top. I need to stop with these thoughts. He still didn't even tell me his name. "Its Prince Issac to you, my love Issac Banks." I looked up at him as if he was joking, but the smile on his face told me otherwise. "Take Princess Kira's brother Master Liam and Lady Jessica to the guest room beside Princess Kira's room for the time being." he looked at my brother and smile. "The rooms for you to stay permanently are not finished yet due to not knowing about the bundle of joy. It should be finished by tomorrow morning. " They nod and walk, Sam i came to learn. "Oh, and also Liam, do you mind meeting Kira and I in my office in 30 mins. We have important matters to discuss." Liam said, of course, and walk behind his wife.

"For a grim reaper, you're nice and tamed." My words triggered him, and a flash im pin to the wall and couldn't move as his hands are firm around my throat. "Don't ever insult my kindness for weakness. My queen, it will be the last thing you will ever do. Don't let my human side fool you because of my demon side." He laughs a cold chuckle, " Is not so nice." He let go of me so i could cough up air. It was like i yarn for it. "Now get up and fix yourself." i did, but be careful not to break connect. I concentrated on his blood and imagined it going to the top of the head. He stops in his tracks and turns around and smiles. "Nice try, my love but your magic won't work on me." He laughs and kept walking. "Maybe with the training, you might do a little damage. Now come."

*Issac P.O.V

In my office, it looks as if we are in a library. It was my favorite place to come why it was more like my man cave than anything. It was my place of peace, one i will share with Kira when the time comes. Something tells me i will have to break her in because of what she throws. I don't tolerate when people make fund of my kindness. Being half-human has its blessings and curses; I can have the emotions a human, but i can be ruthless as a demon. As I'm trapped in my thoughts, smoking a blunt, i realize how beautiful my bride truly is. The mocha chocolate skin glows when she walks, Her color eyes as one is golden like the sun, and the other is blue like the sea, The way her long black hair flows down to her feet. The way she sits and presents herself as if she knows she will be queen. She has more confidence then she knows, and i will help her tap into it. A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. "Come in!" i shouted. I watched as Kira smoot down her yellow sundress. Yes, i had her put on clothes other than a towel. When she heard her brother was here, she didn't hesitate for a second to see him.

The door open and walk-in was her brother. "Please sit." as i blew out smoke from my blunt before putting it out. Kira sat in a chair beside me, and i can tell she wanted to be next to her brother. "I'm glad you and your wife are alright. I know you heard of me now, and please don't be afraid im anything like my father. I have a soul" I laugh to brighten up the mood, and Kira and Liam caught on and laughed a little. "Now, your sister is here to be my bride, but this morning she had a vision of your death, which made me act quickly." he looked shocked and then look to Kira.

"Yes, I always knew my sister was special. I heard she claim both darkness and light and is now one of our covenant's powerful witches. That explains why my father wants us died. To bring her out of hiding." Liam stood up and walked to the window. "Where's the sun?" He asked i knew this was a question everyone asks.

"In this Dimension has no sun because were in a place called The under," i said as he walks back down to the chair in front of the desk sat down. "Its where bad witch who's been claim dark, Vamps, Werewolf's, Sirens, etc. comes to live in peace." Liam nod and look at Kira.

"Kira, That night of your claiming what happened to mother." Liam looked at her as if she did something wrong.

"When Father started the ritual, he cut my neck, and i was beginning to die, but before i did." she stops and swallows the tears back. She looked at me for comfort, which i proved. Then she continued, "Father was mad at mom for stepping out of their marriage. He found out i wasn't his, and he killed her in front of me." She cried

"He told everyone that you killed mother that's is why darkness claims you, But Monica saved you. She told; that's irrelevant about what happened. He got mad and was banished." He finished. Something tells me we'll be hearing from this guy soon. "Thank You, Issac, for saving me and my wife im in great debt to you and will like to do anything to keep my sister and wife safe. She will be having my daughter soon. Two more weeks to be exact and you can have a perfect time." I was just about to speak when Kira's eyes slowly turn white, and she began to glow. She's having a vision of the future. In a flash, as if my mind was with hers, our minds became as one. Her dream had two parts, Ones she dies by the hands of Lucien, and the other she restores nature in the world. "In this vision, it wields a two-sided future. Which one will you choose to be killed or to save your people, Listen to it well the prophecy, for he will be? I'm Coming for you. Even though you have both, your body can not take this toll. For it will give out if you don't decide." Then in a flash, i was back in my office, but Kira's body knocked out cold on the floor.

The words of the spirits haunt my thoughts. i put my hand on my head as i groan a little as i sit up in my car.

"Oh man, your ok, Thank the heavens." Liam was next to Kira. "What happened to the two of you. it was like you felt what she felt." his eyes open wide. " Is she your mate." how did he know. Well, duh, he has his mate, that's how he knows. I nod until i can work on my breath.

"Thank the heavens." i gave a sarcastic laugh.

"Oh, sorry i didn't mean too," Liam said

"It's a fine man." Chuckling "To answer your question, I knew the day she was born she was mined. Just like the other past lives we encountered." I said

"Past lives...What is truly going on with my sister." Liam asked

"To be honest, i don't know myself. I didn't realize we had past lives until..."

"The day of the ceremony." Liam finished

"Yeah, that's when everything hit me. I just kept it from Kira until i can figure it out myself." I got up out of the chair. Grab my shorts and lit it back up. Inhaling the smoke and blowing it out, feeling the high consume me until i can think clear. "I'll call Sam to taker to her room. Monica is out finding answers. She's my beta, and i had her watch over you and your sister. " i said. I walked to my desk and buzzed for Sam. Instantly, a knock hits the door. "Master Issac, can i enter please," he asked respectfully, and i answer with a yes. He opens the door and looks to me and then to Liam, "How can i be of service Master Liam and Master Issac."

"Can you take princess Kira to her room. im afraid the day got to her, and she needs her rest," i stated, and he nod walk over to Kira. "Right away, sir." he picked her up and was out of the room in seconds. "Now it brought to my attention your sister, don't know a lot about the world." i walk to my desk, grab a sheet of paper and walk back to Liam. "If you're serious about helping, can you please help me in getting your sister academically ready to fit for a queen. the rest im sure she didn't have a choice to learn, but she truly needs to learn how to read and write." He nodded and got up and try to hug me. i back away not because i didn't want to be touched. It's just that if i did, he would die at the drop of a hat. The only one that i know that can is Kira. "Sorry i would hug you, but if i did, you would die. Im the angel of death, it's hard for me to be touched." I said he understands but asked anyway, "What of Kira do she....." He asked out of curiosity. "Oh No, She's the only one that can." i paused then continued, "It's nice it's because she's my mate. The last person i loved was the last day of my being human. We wanted to share our last time sexual because i had to move with my father to learn how to be a grim reaper. She was the only one to know who i was, and she loved me anyway." Thinking of the woman who looks like Kira, but at that time, she was Monica's sister. And Her name was Akira. "Anyway, we proceed to have sex, so i took off her clothes, she did the same, but as soon as she saw my body she got hypnotize by it.... it was like her mind wasn't hers then touched me, and then kissed me and then she died." I took another puff of my blunt, and then i began to roll another. "Smoking is how i keep my demon at bay. It's how i remand human. If i don't smoke, he takes over my demon. Its name is Jace...Jace is not who you want to meet."

Liam took in all the information and couldn't do anything but take the paper and walk to the door. "I need rest and my wife to takes all this in." He opened it and looked at me one last time. "It's funny because i feel like its more to come." i inhale the smoke letting it intensify my high more then i blew out and sit my chair and chilled.

"Get rest; we start tomorrow." He left me in the silence of my bride's thoughts and the smoked-out room as i get high with the night sky and feel the troubles melt away.
