VERGLAS (Complete)

WAKING UP FROM DEEP SLEEP

A new place, a new world and new possibilities with the same fate I was dealing whole my miserable life. I found it Funny, Aren’t that funny but I guess what? f**k you too my f*****g life. I had enough, I mean look at me right now, I am lying on this bed, god knows how long? It felt like the time has stopped. Waking up again on a different place but I was glad that I was alone, wait! Here it comes.

“Silver. Oh god she is awake now. Thank goodness.” Wait, is it Daphne? She is alive but I thought she is dead. Jokes on me now. “Silver, look at me, do you recognize me?” Daphne asks worriedly but she was the one who got hit on her head. I sit up straight on the bed and turn to face her, “of course, how can I forget a bat s**t crazy god mother of mine.” I simply stated and heard a laugh of a maniac. “Shut it Elijah!” Daphne fumes, looking like a buffalo in winter fog. I turn to face the maniac, I mean the guy, Daphne yelling at.

“Bat s**t crazy, ha ha, it was good” the guy grinning at me with a thumbs up, he is a good looking guy with chiseled features. He has a long cut face with sharp, broad jaw line. Bushy brows and same ocean green eyes anyone can fall for. Daphne coughs to distract my thoughts. I face her but she hugged me tightly, “oh I missed you dear. I was so worried, I thought..” I cut her in between, “be happy, I am not dead yet.” I spoke sharply. I get up from the bed and went to the dresser. I was observing myself in the mirror. Daphne approaches me and stands beside me, I frowned but I was more focused in admiring myself, “exactly same.” I whisper but I am sure that both of them heard me clearly.

“I did not get you?” Daphne asks me, I turned to her. “I saw a dream; I was lying in a small pond. I thought that I was dead but suddenly my skin glows and turns white like porcelain; my hair grows thick and long white molten silver flowing from my scalp, than I turned into ice which started to break when I tried to move my body. The ice shattered into pieces like a glass and then I woke up. It felt so real that I get to see myself and look, I am turned into something different.” I explained my awakening.

Daphne looked shocked, but the guy behind her, looking at me which made me uncomfortable. “Who are you?” I narrowed my brows at him. “I am Elijah, Daphne’s younger brother. I am here to protect you, actually both of you.”

I furrowed my brows then raise one brow at him, “protect us? From what?” I questioned him, I needed to know everything. I have to sure that he is trustworthy or not. “Why don’t we just had dinner first, then we will discuss everything, there is lots of thing you need to know Silver.” Daphne replied in his behalf and my stomach growls shamelessly by just mentioning the name of food. I look at both of them, “yeah, I am hungry too.”

We left the room and went to the dining area, which is included in the kitchen, this place seems to be huge, and “where are we? This place is so big, feels great to be here as it is the best place so far, from the places we have stayed till now.” I ask in fascination. I heard a chuckle from Elijah, but I choose to ignore. We sat on the eight seated dining table, which seems to be big as we are only three here. Elijah places a pot filled with pasta, yumm I love pasta, my mouth waters. Daphne serves me first and I took a bite from the blissful pasta. I don’t know what get over me, I ate like a pig, I finished the whole pot without asking others if they want some. The sibling watched me in amusement.

‘Whoa! That was… umm.. Too much.” Elijah said, “Nobody asked for your opinion and I was hungry, I am still in fact.” I replied sarcastically, the looks on their faces were laugh worthy but seriously I am not satisfied. I wanted to eat more. “You eat like a horse.” Elijah muttered under his breath but it was audible to me. “I heard that.” I glare daggers at him. Daphne laughs hysterically and sucked her breath when I glared at her too.

“Are you sure that you are fine Silver? You have been sleeping from more than 36 hrs.” Daphne ask me curiously, “I have never felt this better before. I don’t feel any fatigue or vertigo or any symptoms of weakness. In fact, I am feeling more energetic, more powerful.” I stand up from the chair and walk to the kitchen. “Who is going to tell me exactly what happen when I passed out?” I turn to face the siblings and ask them in a serious tone, both of them look each other and then, Elijah gesture me to take the chair. I sit down. “Do you remember anything about that night?” Elijah asks

I nodded my head, “yes. I killed all of them.” I stated forwardly, I was fed up with twists and dramas. “Why did you do that?” he asks again, I look at him, “I killed them because I thought they killed Daphne, I wanted to avenge her and honestly, I don’t know how but I turned into a killing machine, ruthless, heartless, and whatever anyone wants to call me, I don’t give a f**k. I did what seems to be right to me.” I raised my voice, almost like I am shouting. They both looked sad and then Daphne speaks, “Silver, we caillech heal fast. And the wound was not that deep, that’s why I healed.” I can sense the disappointment in her voice, “you have killed the Prince of Jotuns, Dylan. The whole Jotun community is looking for you; they want to hunt you down.”

I was dumbfounded, thunder strikes on my head, and I was speechless as I have lost my voice. I gather some courage to speak, “I have no idea about that and what are Jotuns?” I was really frightened by the thought of getting killed by other creatures, God why it has to be me? I sigh deeply and try to relax myself, ‘Okay! Leave everything apart. Tell me how can I save myself? I don’t want to turn into that horrible thing again; I wanted to know everything about us and other creatures living in this world. I can’t depend on you guys forever, I have to take my responsibilities.” I look at them but they were staring me blankly. “Excuse me, do I sound stupid or I am not audible to you?”

Daphne approaches me and put her hand on my shoulder. “No, you are right, we need to tell you the history, and you should know everything about us and the enemies and allies of ours. Elijah will teach you that.” She looks at her brother, who was busy in licking the pasta off from the plate, “Elijah, this is disgusting. Please stop right now.” Daphne yells, and turn back to me, “I will teach you how to control your powers and hand to hand combat, at least the basics.” She assures me with a warm smile.

“You were talking about the queen, that she might know why I am different, when we are going to meet her?” I ask curiously, Daphne looked shock, “how did you know that, you were in deep sleep that time?” she gasps. I shrug and replied, “I heard your voice in my mind, when I was in my dream.” Siblings look at each other in startled.

Elijah came to join us, he pulls the chair and sits on it, “we have to ask her but we can’t meet her right now, as the kingdom is situated in North Pole, umm on an island of ice, in Arctic Ocean. We have to go there and as the circumstances are not very good; we can’t leave, at least for 2 weeks. We don’t want to cross our path with Jotuns, we have to wait till the flame dulls.” I was amused by his details but he was right, we can’t rush things.

“So, what we are going to do now?” I ask in determination, they both looks me in a notorious way, f**k, they are plotting something. “What?”

“We are going to start your training; it would be good if we start it soon.” Daphne said. Elijah patted my back, “Be ready little tigress.” He winked at me. I don’t like these feelings that are in my guts. f**k, I am in a big trouble.
