"Ender, we have talked about this. You can't just arrive at my private chambers unannounced. What if Lucille were still here? I know you feel I was ignoring you, because I didn't respond to you. Your proposal to hunt Prince Vatgkan down, is denied. Your services are needed here. You're far to valuable and important to this castle. I can't risk losing you, Ender! Why can't you understand that?" Avalon demanded, as she looked over at him, still furious.
Ender played the part of a dutiful Sylph. He passively looked to the ground, while Avalon enjoyed her putting him in his place. But her words and tone, stuck a nerve with him this evening. His eyes shot to her in anger. "You can't risk losing me? But yet, I cannot be with you. It's an unfair bargain, my queen. When two contradictory statements are expected to be obeyed. So your denial doesn't matter, I'm going anyway." He said sharply, while he looked her in the eyes with a defiant glint.
Avalon gasped, shocked by his defiant declaration. She advanced on him until they were mere inches away from each other. "You wouldn't dear!" She said with a hiss.
"I would! At least they will know true happiness and fulfillment." He growled through his frustration. Ender was quite prepared for her retaliatory slap. So with a blur of motion, he effortlessly captured her wrist and held it firmly. Then did the same, when her other one flew, when the fist strike failed to hit it's mark. He'd banded his large hands around her's as he held her tightly. She was no match for his iron grip.
Avalon pulled brutally against his hold on her. She glared up at him with fire in her eyes. "Release me at once!" She demanded through clenched teeth.
"Never, my queen." Ender whispered sternly, as he leaned in to kiss her passionatly. He chucked deeply, as Avalon latched onto his lip with her teeth. She growled before she bit him hard enough to draw blood. He shuddered at the pleasure pain and he twirled softly to her. Without hesitation, she twirled back. He slowly released her wrists, in order to pull her up aginst him roughly. At her soft sigh, his embrace tightened. He then nip her tounge as punishment for denying him her kiss for so long. He savored the slight copper taste of his blood, as it melded with the sweet taste of her own.
Avalon moaned softly, as she snaked her arms up his chest, over his shoulders and up the back of his neck. She then spread her fingers wide, as they ran through his longish dark hair. She then balled her hands into fists. Grabbing his hair and pulling him roughly away from her lips. "We play a dangerous game, my love." She cautioned in hushed tones. Her stern expression softened, as she slowly smiled. Her eyes moving down to looked at his lips. She was about to lean in to resume the kiss, when an urgent knock sounded on her chamber door. She froze mid-motion. Her eyes going wide. She quickly stumbled away from him. Her hand shot up to wipe Ender's blood from her lips. She cleared her throat and composed herself. After drawing in a deep breath, she called out, "Enter!"
Ender licked his lips to get any trace amounts off his own. He then straightened and turned to face the door curiously. He frowned at the sight of his brother.
Spyro hurried into the room. He said breathlessly, The princess Star is gone! Vatgkan has stolen her from the balcony! I'm so sorry! I was to late to stop him. "
Ender frowned and cursed in fey. "We have to track her. Let's get to it!" He said with determination.
Spyro shook his head, as he held up Star's protection and moonstone pendants. "He left them on the balcony."
Ender and Avalon looked at them with horror. Avalon recovered first, "Get me Sonya! There has to be a way!" She ordered.
(I know, really long. But I'm building the ground work for something.
