Chapter Fourteen

“I EXPECT YOU found the castle to your liking?”

Shade jumped as well as Dylan from the frosty voice that emanated from the doorway. They were both back in her room, the one she had initially awoken in and had been chatting incessantly as they sat on the bed. Dylan had also woken in his own ‘room’ but found hers more comforting. Maybe because she was in it.

“Corb.” Shade stated more than asked. Her eyes widened at the Ice King and she jumped to her feet. Dylan had moved around the bed to stand by her, ready for a fight if need be. “What’s going on? Why are we here?”

His flat expression gave them no clue of his mood. Mother of pearl irises made him seem more like a ghost than anything else. He was handsome with his sharp nose and carved jawline. The long mane of white with a black inlay of hair was tied tightly into a lone ponytail which trailed down his back. He looked different somehow. He was no longer wearing his white attire he’d worn when they’d arrived. Now dressed in his black riding attire, the lieutenant’s uniform he’d worn when he led Aveta’s army. He looked somewhat tired, as if he’d been riding for many hours. Dirt clung to his boots in small clumps, trailing bits all over the snowy floor.

“It doesn’t matter anymore why, it matters that you are here now, both of you. Forever. I’m glad you’ve found it cozy enough and have each other’s company as I am away a lot dealing with Aveta and the Unseelie Army. I still lead them for now and there have been some changes going on that I personally have to take care of.” He slowly pulled off his black leather gloves and rubbed his eyes, looking more and more exhausted. “I’ll take my leave now. Continue to enjoy the grounds but I warn you, don’t try to go past the gates of my castle, you will not be able to pass and it will alert me immediately.”

“Wait, how do we find you if, you know, if we need to ask you something.” Shade attempted to stall him before he disappeared to who knows where for who knew how long. “And why can’t we remember anything at all?”

Corb sighed, partially turning away from them, obviously annoyed. “I will explain a lot of this later. There is nothing to fear, this is your home now. That’s all you need to know.” With that he disappeared behind the closing doorway, as if he’d never been there. Only the small specks of dirt left in his wake told otherwise.

“Well that wasn’t very helpful.” Shade groaned and plopped back onto the bed, staring up into the open sky above. The snowfall had stopped and only white clouds shifted above like billowing puffs of cotton. “That Aveta he speaks of, do you know who that is?”

Dylan slumped onto the bed next to her leaning on his arms as he turned toward her.
