Chapter 230: Reunion

"Princess, please escape now! Something… something's wrong with this person! This man isn't our -" Before Elias could finish his statement, he suddenly went still as if he could no longer move nor speak. Evie was still waiting for Elias to complete his sentence, thinking that perhaps he was considering what to say but after a few more seconds, she noticed that something was wrong. Coming around Elias and peering at his face from the front made her realise that Elias had been frozen mid-sentence and could not move on his own volition.

"This one does not seem as powerful as the others." A voice so familiar, that deep velvety voice echoed and then in a very fluid and regal manner, the blue-eyed man in the dark cloak descended from the top of the wall, right before them. It was not in the blurry and fast way vampires usually landed; but it was as if he was floating. "Since this one seemed like such a useless guard, I guess there's no need to keep him alive anymore." He drawled out as he let a lazy smile spread across his face.

Evie's eyes widened and at last, her voice came out in a burst. "No! Don't you dare kill him!" Evie was too shocked and still in an emotional mess and confusion that she blurted out whatever that was on her mind before she even realized it.

Now that she had managed to snap out of her confusion, her mind began to work again. She now realised too that something was wrong. This Gavriel… he had fought against her men, his men. And now, he even wanted to kill Elias as if he never knew him? Evie did not know what was going on, but she could feel her mind was about to burst due to these confusing happenings. Was Gavriel possessed? But his eyes were not the same green like what had happened to her father when he was possessed.

Evie had seen her possessed father and the moment she saw him during the war in Dacria, she immediately knew he was possessed the moment she saw him. Her father's actions and the way he behaved, his characteristics, even some of his features like his eyes and some parts of his skin had changed into a greenish colour, and there was something black on his neck that extended to the lower parts of his face. If she were to describe, it was like some jet-black veins being painted on his skin. And most of all, even her father's voice had changed as though it belonged to someone else and did not sound anything close to his original voice.

But for Gavriel, he was still very much the same except for the colour of his eyes and what he was doing right now. His calm voice and the way he looked at her despite the coldness in his eyes were still the same. Her heart keeps telling her that this person is still him… so, what was going on? His actions right now seem to tell her he was not quite himself! In fact, it was almost the exact opposite of how he usually brings himself.

Their eyes met again after Evie's outburst. And there it was… the most confusing thing. The one thing that she had been trying to understand in her dreams before. Now that he was very much closer, Evie now knew what was bothering her with the way that he looked at her.

He was looking at her as if he could not believe she was real. His gaze was so intense and piercing as if he had been longing for her or looking for her for an eternity. And now that he had found her, he was actually having a hard time believing it. It does not quite make sense to Evie. It was only a matter of days that they were separated from each other, not an eternity. Even though she does admit that she felt those days to be so long, what she was seeing in his eyes right now was just too much. This was Gavriel they were talking about. He was the epitome of calm and collected. He always knew how to control his emotions even though things were really going badly and not according to plan. So, she could not believe her already overwhelming longing for him seemed to be nothing compared to what was blazing in those blue eyes of his.

Without a word, he moved his outstretched hand, and it was as if an invisible string was holding Elias, he was being moved to the side, still being held immobile like a statue. Evie's eyes widened and her mouth opened a little in shock. Since when does Gavriel have such powers? But was this something that Gavriel already had since long ago and just did not show or used it? Or was it a new power that he had gained during the time that he was separated from her?

Then he took a step towards Evie, fixing his gaze on her again. Evie was held in thrall even when her heart was racing and beating like a drum within her chest cavity.

But this time, it was Zanya who suddenly appeared and stood before Evie, protecting her.

He stopped and Evie immediately felt an immense aura of danger, not for herself but for Zanya. Evie could see how he pinned Zanya with a gaze so furious and dangerous that Zanya was even shivering as she still stood resolutely in front of Evie.

"Move, light fae, or you'll die this instant." He growled out threateningly and both Evie and Zanya could not move in utter shock. How did he know Zanya was a light fae? Zanya now looked fully human and had no characteristics of a light fae at all on her. So how could he even tell?! Was he really possessed?

When Evie saw him lifting his hand again, Evie was quick to step forward and this time, she blocked Zanya.

"Stop! Don't you harm her!" she exclaimed loudly as she spread out her hands to block Zanya as she bravely met his icy gaze. It was strange, being in this situation. Who would have thought that this was how they were to be reunited?
