We are accidents

[raihnstar]

She was alive. Of course she was alive. She'd been alive for the three weeks since the wedding night. Had she been living? Hardly. Every day seemed torture, and except for when they were in public, she stayed away from him (don't say his name, don't say his name). But the Queen bore it proudly. Reports came to her about how well the crops were doing, and it seemed that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. She still had to heal people, but there were no more war wounds, and the peace around the kingdom seemed a beautiful reward for the few bruises she got every night.

A small knock at her door, and Kassidy looked up, in the middle of reading another report from her advisors. "Yes?" she asked lightly. Miiera came in. Miiera the empty headed fairy. "Ah, the King--" she giggled, "The King wants to see you, Lady." she told her with another giggle. No doubt he was completely smooth towards him. Kassidy felt a cold trickle of fear and she laughed it off, "Tell him to come in. Allthough I'll be seeing him later." she winked at Miiera, who giggled again. "And he knows he can come in whenever he wants." Kassidy finished, to make sure he didn't hear her, and feel she was keeping something from him.

No, no. Nothing private of hers was private. She had to be completely open...because he always seemed to know...to find out. The Queen felt watched.

["Parker!"]

The King had been off doing his...kingly duties but of course he'd spare a few moments for his lovely wife. She was a rather feisty one at times, but he felt that he kept her in place well. The King knew he could walk in at any moment, but be wasn't a savage. He had politely asked the cute little Miiera to address the queen that he was coming. As he heard Kassidy he started walking to the room, a dark but creepy smile on his lips. He glanced to Miiera gently, his eyes dazzling,

"Thank you dear Miiera."

He spoke his words slick as he noted she was quite the cute little fairy too. Most of the night fairies were... bitter. Of course it was beautiful at times...but these light fairies.... some of them...they were just... wow. He'd always fancied the light fairies, secretly, of course. Their bodies so delicate, so easily dominated. He always found himself... mhmmm. He looked back to his love his eyes upon her hard but in a weird kind of lovingly way.

"How are you, dear?"

His cool words almost seductive.


[whata freak. >33]

[raihnstar]

"I'll leave you two alone!" Miiera said in a chipper voice, flouncing out of the room. Kassidy stared after her, and then unconiously erected the walls around the room. "As always, my King." she said in a flat voice. "Is there anything you wish me to do for you?" Not that I'll do it...I see how you look at my maids...not that I'd do it for you anyway. "Or have you come to inform me that you've fired another of my advisors?" she said in a dry voice. Slowly, Victor was getting rid of the top light fairy's, and they were too afraid to speak out, or to ask the Queen for help.

Not that she would have helped them. She was too drained to stand up to him. Keeping an illusion of happyness around her affected her in more ways than one.

["Parker!"]

Victor frowned gently as she seemed to smite him with her eyes. So rude. He eye'd her viciously before returning to normal. He shook his head gently. No. He didn't want her help. Snappy today eh? He tolderated it... for now. He looked out the large window of her bedroom, looking at his kingdom. He noticed every day more and more night fairies were wanding thoughtout the kingdom. Very good. He turned and gave her a dissapointed look as she mentioned him fireing her advisors.

"No. I haven't."

His face was flat, almost hard. But within seconds of sizing her up, his face went soft. A dark but loving smile on his lips,

"You've been very tense lately..."

He adanved slowly towards her, his eyes wandering the bedroom before he steped before her his eyes snapping to her's...

"Perhaps something is on your mind... Would you like to tell me?"

His features called out innocent, though his heart rang with evil. His face rose to a quizical posture.

[raihnstar]

"Nothing on my mind but you, dear." Kassidy told him truthfully, letting a small tired smile curve on her lips. What else would make me tense, dear husband? But she didn't say it out loud...the last time she'd done that... The memory made Kassidy wince visibly, and she hoped he hadn't noticed. Victor stood close to her. He always stood close to her, trying to freak her out, invading her personal space. The Queen ignored him for a moment, her eyes roving down to the reports again. More reports of peace and prosperity throughout the land. The halt of the war had done the fairy's good...

Night Fairy numbers were increasing in the capitol, allthough the light fairy's had not yet dared to go into Night fairy lands... Kassidy looked up into Victor's handsome face. It was impossible to concentrate on reading when he was there. He put her on edge. Just go...away. She wanted to shout that at him, to hurt him for hurting her. Instead she sat meekly on her chair, her hands only slightly tense. If she showed how tense she was actually feeling... Victor might feel the need to...correct...her.

["Parker!"]

"Oh really now?"

He smirked, his dark eyes glittering. Oh yes, she could show how tough she was. Sure, sure. But she did not fool him. She was tense because of him. But he felt that it wasn't always him... Ever since the wedding she'd been a bit...daydreamy. He turned around, walking back to the window, almost sighing. He could tell...ever since...that dance. Not with her though. The dance she had with that...pixie. He looked at the window as he spoke,

"How's your little purple friend... the pixie? You two seemed to be quite close... Hm?"

He flashed a glance at her, his hard eyes inspecting her, his thoughts lingering on speaking again, but he halted waiting amusingly for a reaction. That...purple..pixie.

[xD haha i know this will get her worked up. xD]

[raihnstar]

[Oh this is perfect!! XD Kassidy can't even /remember/ the dance!]

"Purple-- Huh? What Pixie?" Kassidy asked with a sneer. Jeez. What was he on about now? She wasn't really cheating on him so he had to make up people for her to cheat with? REAL mature. "Do you have to make people up for me to cheat with since I'm not actually cheating?" she asked with a smile, trying to lighten the mood. It was a joke, after all. Odd that he'd mentioned the colour purple...every time she saw it, it made her smile...or gave her hope. (She'd almost ordered her room to be draped in purple, but every time she mentioned it, her staff got evasive, so she decided not to do it)

Did they know something she didn't? Apparently Victor was in on the secret about purple, too... Did it matter? She had gotten the gardeners to pot purple flowers outside, and a few choice pieces of jewelry that were a deep enchanting purple. They hung on her ears now, and Kassidy unconciously reached upt to touch them, as if asking for hope. "And a pixie, no less!" she said with a small laugh, hoping he'd laugh with her. It was...a joke, right? He was trying to make her laugh? She was laughing...

["Parker!"]

Victor looked at her weirdly for a momment. Exscuse me? He thought in his head. What was she talkign about. The pixie. Had she not remembered? He walked away from the window, looking at her his head almost tilted, his black hair falling at his chin. He gently laughed along with her. Hah, a pixie. His eyes were light, but oddly curious at her behavior. Was she denying it?

"Aha, yes, a pixie. Do you not recall your dance with him?"

He raised a brow, slightly amused, but serious. Had she forgotten? The features on that pixie's face...

"He obviously fancied you, if you didn't notice... But who wouldn't..?"

He growled, playfully, eyeing her for a momment before glanceing at the door, waiting for a reply.

[muahah XD]

[raihnstar]

"Uhh...Victor honey, I didn't dance with anybody but you that night." she told him with a light laugh. "So...uh...Listen are you okay?" she asked, a small amused frown coming across her face. "Do I have to check if some of my fairy's modified your memory?" Kassidy giggled, knowing it was imposible for any of her fairys to touch the king. She had forbidden it, and they never disobeyed her.

Allthough...she'd have to admit to herself that if one of her fairy's had modified his memory like this, she probably wouldn't punish them... Kassidy need a laugh every once in awhile. I /would/ make sure ot ship them out of the country, so he doesn't kill them, though. she added to the htought silently.

["Parker!"]

Victor didn't laugh along this time. What... Was she jokeing? He frowned as she spoke of something with messing with his mind. His teeth were starting to grit together, his hands folding gently. He narrowed his eyes, waiting for her to be done. Then he snapped at her,

"Do not treat me like and idiot, dear... You danced with your little purple pixie at our wedding. Why are you denying it?"

He hissed, rather serious now. She was lieing. She was only avoiding the subject. Was she cheating?

[raihnstar]

Kassidy frowned, annoyed that he was hanging on to this illusion. "What pixie?! What are you talking about? Victor you're dellusional. I didn't dance with anybody but you!" she snapped at him in an annoyed voice. Was he really being that thick? She'd always thought he was the smarter sort... Had somebody messed with his mind? She did a quick scan with her magic...no...nothing.

That was...odd, to say the least. She'd danced with somebody? No. Kassidy was certain she hadn't danced with anybody but him! An untraceable spell then? He was starting to scare her with this accusations, and her face showed it.

["Parker!"]

"So you ARE denying it!-- Wait, I am not delusional!"

He raised his voice, his teeth grounded. How could she lie to him! She was sneaky. He didn't like that. She had to be open-- he was always open with her. He gave a snarled face, quickly grabbing her arm, making her face him, his face hard,

"You know this pixie? Where is he? Don't lie to me! I will have him killed at sight! Kassidy..."

His voice raised until he spoke his last comment which was a hiss of a whisper, anger blazing though his eyes. He wanted the truth! And if she wasn't going to tell him... his grip tightened.

[raihnstar]

"I don't know what you're talking about!" she whimpered, his grip on her arm was too tight...another bruise for her collection. "Please, let me go! What pixie? I've never even met a pixie in my life!" Kassidy tried to tug her arm away from his grip, "Victor stop, I didn't-- I don't know what you're talking about!" Her voice was getting panicky, "If I knew what you meant I'd tell you! You have to believe me! I don't know what--" she gasped, because the pressure on her arm was beginnign to cut off her circulation and she let out a little moan of pain. "Please, I didn't--" she stopped trying to talk. It was no use. He just wanted to hurt her...

The truth didn't matter... It never mattered. But I didn't dance with a pixie! her mind protested feebly. She didn't look up at Victor. Let him think what he wanted...she was innocent.

["Parker!"]

Victor watched her feeble attempt to escape him. And he only held tighter, his grip vice. She was squirming, stammering to save her arm. It was no use- he was already worked up. She was denying it. She was lieing. He felt the urge to punch her...he really did. But with the last look in her eye. She was lieing to the king. She would pay. He gave her a death look, then took her other arm, pulling her close to him. His hair fell by his cheek as he looked down at her, his eyes mad.

"You want to play, my queen? Fine. Let us play."\

He hissed darkly at her, before pushing her away harshy. He stood there, angered, but didn't advance to her. He just glared, expecting her to flee.

[which she will do...right? then he'll stick to his little game. xD]

[ßlue]

((OMG just asking, but does Victor know about Kassidy's curse? I thought someone from the night fairy king came and cursed her! If he didn't do it who did? I thought it was Victor who'd had her cursed to forget about Dax... ))
