UNDER THE MASK - EPISODE 36

★★★★

“I love you and I can say that a million times” Athena said again and allowed more tears of joy to fall from her eyes

“Thanks for saving me, thanks for saving me I don’t know how to just thank you” he said, still holding tightly unto her

” Just be good like you’ve always been, I don’t care if you won’t love me back, all that matters is that you’re alive right now, standing in front of me and holding unto me, I feel good” she replied

Damon broke the hug and wiped her tears gently

“You didn’t get hurt in the forest right?, You came back Hale and hearty sure? ” He said

” Yes, I’m fine and perfectly ok” she nodded though her arm still hurts slightly, making her wonder if she’s ok”

” Are you sure? ” He asked

” Yes Damon, I’m greatly sure” she replied, smiling without taking her eyes off his face

He looked up to see the others in the room and Moon standing by the door but immediately their eyes met, Moon left, making Damon wonder why

“Welcome back brother” Eden smiled

“I thought I’m never gonna see you again” Damon said and hugged him

” I thought you were gonna die, I was so scared” Eden said

” I’m back now, I’m ok” Damon smiled

” Welcome back to the land of the living” Min said

” My Changmin” Damon said, going to hug him

” Stop acting like a girl” Min smiled, patting his back

He hugged Venus lightly and when he saw Mercury, he smiled more widely

“Athena you’re awake!” He almost screamed

“Yes I am, and I’m glad you’re awake too, now no one should go sick again” Mercury smiled

” Sure” he replied, facing Kaitlyn who has a stern look on her face but as their eyes met, they both started laughing hard

“Coward, you were shaking like a drenched puppy” Kaitlyn laughed

” Silly you, it wasn’t easy, frosted poison isn’t a joke” Damon replied.

” Thanks for waking up, thanks for making Athena’s efforts worth it” she said

” It’s fine, I’m glad to be back” Damon replied

“I’d love to give you a hug but no…. Not allowed” she said

“I know, your majesty” Damon whispered

” A lot of you know about this already” Kaitlyn said

“Maybe, just be fast with the kisses and make the mark dissipate, then we can bravely fight Dantalion when he finally arrives” he said

” I understand”. Kaitlyn replied

” Elaina” Damon said, smiling at her

“Welcome back, thanks for risking your life but you’re so lucky, she risked her life too though that was more risky” Elaina replied, looking at Athena suspiciously

“Thanks for standing by me everyone” Damon said as they all started trooping out

” I have to go see the dean and the sorceress” Damon said, facing Athena

” I’ll be in my room” Athena said and started walking away from the room but she suddenly came back and pecked his chin

“I love you, I’ll keep saying that everyday, will you allow me to keep doing that? ” She said

” I.. I dunno” Damon replied awkwardly

” It’s fine, see you around” she smiled and left him

Damon smiled before leaving the room

During the walk to the dean’s office, he saw Moon just below the hallway stairs

He walked to her and she saw him before he could get to her and tried to run again but he held her

“Are you avoiding me?” He asked

Moon faced the ground and found it difficult to face him

“I’m glad you’re back anyways, but can we stay away from each other?, Please” she said

” What.. why? ” Damon asked shockingly

” I don’t deserve our friendship, I’m sure you know how I feel about you or you’d have been suspecting it but I promise to wipe it all cos I don’t deserve you, pour all the love in your heart on Athena cos she deserves it all, I’m too weak to deserve you, let’s avoid each other” she said and took her hand from him before walking down the hallway to the girls chamber

She got to her room and started crying again

Damon stood in that spot for minutes, thinking about what she just said then looked at the path she took for a while before leaving for the dean’s office

“Welcome back ” Asher smiled when he got there

“Thanks for standing by me masters” he bowed on his knees

” Now that you’re back, be careful, don’t get hurt” Lett said

” Thanks masters” he bowed again

” Your fate seems to be intertwined between two girls” Asher said

Damon went mute

” I don’t mean to pry but you are my student, do you feel anything in your heart for Moon? ” Asher asked

Damon still kept quiet and only remain remained bowing

“Or is it Athena?” Lett asked

“I’m…. I really don’t know, I’m confused” he said

****

After leaving the dean’s office, he went to see Ursula and surprisingly, she asked the same question and all he did was stare at her like a fool

“Their fates seems interwoven too and it’s happening just like it should be, if you love one of them, the other one dies” Ursula said

” Meaning if I love Athena, Moon will die and if I love Moon, Athena will die” he said shockingly

” Yes, the fate of you three kept twisting and twisting and I can’t help but think your end will be difficult to sight” Ursula said

” What should…what should I do?, The heart can’t love two people, and I don’t want to lose anyone of them, I don’t want anyone of them to die, but my heart beats for one, but it has become confusing, I don’t know which one” he said

” You’ll soon find out if you’re not in a hurry” Ursula said

” What’s this?” Rainbow asked when Al Ana handed a pellet to her

“Bleed the soul pellet” Al Ana replied

“Bleed the soul pellet?” Mika asked

” Yes, you just have to posses someone who’ll add this to her food, she’ll bleed in large quantity and you can just steal her blood from there, it works cos I spent a year preparing this, if it fails, I’m killing you both” Al Ana said

” It won’t, we’ll try our best” Rainbow smiled.

Min parted his lips from Kaitlyn’s neck and attached it to her lips, the fifth kiss on the mark has just been completed under the shinning moon.

Kaitlyn welcomed his soft lips on hers with great zeal to kiss it hard, she hardened the kiss and and started caressing his chest, first time she’ll do that

Desire took over him too and his hands roamed round her whole body, not leaving a place

Her regal moans filled the place and when Min felt the need for a safer environment, he made then appear on his bed in her room where they continued what they’ve already started

“Changmin….touch me, you own me” Kaitlyn moaned sweetly, letting each sound come out temptingly

Min slipped her blouse off her shoulders and parted his lips from hers before kissing her shoulder

Kaitlyn freed the holes in his shirt from the buttons and slipped down his shirt

“I love you my queen” he breathed into her ears, slightly bitting it

” I love you my king” she replied impatiently and he attached his lips to hers again

They kept going deeper and deeper till his hands found her thighs and Immediately he touched it, she came back to her senses.

“Min” she said slowly, bringing him back to his senses too

“Kaitlyn” he said, looking at her almost naked upper body

She has only her bra on and his upper body is shirtless too

“What did we do?” He asked

“We did nothing, nothing” she said, closing her eyes and he quickly got down from the bed

“We almost did it” Kaitlyn thought, pinching herself

“Gosh!, What did we almost do?” Min thought, embarrassed to face her.

****

Athena stared at her arm for the uptenth time in front of the mirror in her room, sadly she’s wounded

“It’s surely from when I fell and hit my arm on a tree bark, am I gonna die now?, It seems to be getting bigger every minute and it hurts” she said, dressing it up with bandage after adding treatments

“I’m gonna die, am I really gonna die?, I won’t see Damon and the others again?, Really?” She asked herself as tears fell from her eyes

She finished dressing up the would and wore a long sleeved shirt and a Jacket to cover up well

“I’m wounded, Athens you’re dying” she cried.

” Elaina” Eden called behind her as she walked to her room after dinner

She looked back and frowned

“What?” She asked

“I … I think we should practice swordfight together tommorow, what do you think?” Eden asked

” Not interested” she replied and his face fell

” Why?”

“I’m not just interested, goodnight Mr pervert” she said and walked away, smiling secretly

” Did Venus tell her ?, Why would she?, I’ve gotten over my obsession already” Eden said, walking backwards till he bumped into Venus

“So you’re not only a pervert but a blind bat” Venus teased

” You told Elaina about me?” He asked

“I never did that, trust me” she replied

” Then how did she get to know?” He wondered loudly

” Maybe someone else told her?” Venus said

” I don’t know, you’re close with her right?” He asked

” We do talk” Venus replied

” Help me talk to her then, tell her I’d love to be friends with her” he said

” Why?” Venus asked, her expression changing

” Just feel like being friends with her, thanks in anticipation” Eden replied and winked before leaving

” Really?, Why would he want to be friends with her?” Venus wondered, feeling somehow

*****

Ursula couldn’t sleep so she decided to take a walk round the academy that night

She smiled as she watched the bright moon sitting on the sky and she noticed someone’s back view when she got to the middle of the corridor

“Elaina?” She said and Elaina faced her

“Sorceress” she smiled

“Is my daughter really gone?, I’m never gonna see her again?” She asked instantly

” Don’t be blind to the signs the heavens has been showing you, it’s glaring that your daughter is in this academy” Elaina said

” Huh?, This academy?” She said shockingly

” Find out yourself sorceress, feel it, you’ll find out” Elaina said and walked away

” In this…. academy” she said and Immediately started smelling the chrysanthemum scent, she traced it to her room and saw Kaitlyn waiting for her with Min

“Oh I forgot it’s Kaitlyn’s scent” she thought

“Sorceress something almost happened earlier” Min said

” Tell me” she replied

” Mother… sorry, sorceress we almost….did it, we lost our senses for a while and almost did it” Kaitlyn said

” Mother?” Ursula thought

” Sorceress” Min said, bringing her back

“Oh, you said?” She asked

“We almost mated” Kaitlyn replied

Ursula made an expressionless face before smiling

“That’s not good, you guys had the fifth kiss right?” She said and they nodded

“Left with two kisses right now” she said

” Yes” they both chorused

” Then you’ll keep getting the urge to mate till the kisses are completed, you must fight it with all you have cos you must not mate before then, but on the night of the last kiss, get ready for something hot” Ursula said

” Something hot?” They chorused

” Yes, uncontrollable mating” Ursula replied

” Uncontrollable mating?” They chorused again

” You both want an explanation?, Ok after the last kiss and your crown appears, your bodies will be taken over by burning desires to mate and you won’t be able to fight it, you both will end up on the king’s bed where hot mating will take place, the king is always a giant lion when it comes to that so Kaitlyn be ready to scream out the king’s name countless times that night, you’ll be like…”Changmin yes, there… touch everywhere I want you”

“Min get ready too cos the queen is not an easy woman too, she’ll be too hard to resist and you’ll keep digging deep while saying; “oh my queen, I can’t get enough of you, why do you have to be so juicy, I’m gonna….”

” Stop!!!” Min and Kaitlyn screamed, interrupting Ursula who stopped talking immediately

They both looked at each other and looked back at Ursula who’s smiling

“That’s enough, I’ve heard enough” Kaitlyn said, covered her ears and looked at Ursula before going out fast

“Is all that true?” Min asked, smiling naughtily

” Sure, and lots more” Ursula smiled too

” Then I can’t wait” He whispered

“You’ll be a naughty King” Ursula whispered too

” It’s not a sin to be naughty, I really can’t wait” he whispered back..
