Chapter Twelve

Dream

There were strange people in his home, one of them was standing next to his father there was a mean looked in his eyes. There was another man standing near his father as well, the man have black wings sticking out from his back. Jamie couldn't make out what the man look like, from where he was standing. As soon as Jamie ran up to his father the man with the big black wings bent down to whispered something into his father ears before walking pass him heading toward the door, Jamie was to scared to looked up at the man when the man passed right by him.

“Father, whats going on? Who are they?”

Jamie father pulled Jamie into his arms and hugged little Jamie tightly.

“Jamie forgive me, I wished that I could take you with me.”

“W-what are you talking about father?” Jamie asked his voice portray how confused he is about what his father had said.

“Jefferey if we don't leave now it will be too late to save your life and you will never get a chance to see your son ever again,” Jamie heard the man with the mean glared said to his father before his father have a chance to answer him.

“father,” Jamie whispered softly.

“Jamie, I love you my son.” Jeffery whispered beside his son ears.

The man with the mean glared pull Jamie away from his father before shouting out orders for his men to take Jamie father away. Little Jamie stretched out his small hands to tried and grabbed a hold of his father as he was being restrain, he cried and screamed out for his father.

“FATHER! FATHER!!!”

End of dreams.

Jamie woke up screaming out for his father, it took him a few moment to realized that he had been dreaming. His pillow was wet with his tears, Jamie sat up and wrapped his arms around his knees. He rested his chin on top of them. Just as he did that the Zhanthia King opened the door to his room and quickly make his way toward him, concern was written all over the Zhanthia kings face. Jamie gave the king a small smiled.

“I heard you screaming while I was having a talked with Nicholas outside. Are you are right?” Sebastian asked as he went over to the boy side.

Jamie nods his head, “I was just having a dream about my father,” he answered softly.

Sebastian reached the boy side and sat down beside him on the bed, “tell me, what was the dream about Jamie?” he asked as he put his arms around the boy, and hug him gently.

“ I dream that my father was taken away from me by people that I had never seen before.”

“What did these people in your dream look like?” Sebastian asked the boy.

"They all have long silver hair and their face was conceal with a black veil, and they also have small white and silver wings sticking out from the back of their ankle. All except for one man. He have long black hair and black wings sticking out from his back,” Jamie paused and stared up at the Zhanthia King, “come to think of it that man somehow reminds me of you,” he said softly.

“Really,” Sebastian said with a smiled.

Jamie nod his head.

The man in Jamie dream was him, Sebastian has no doubt about that, his Jamie was dreaming about that day, the day that his memories was erased and replaced with a different memories, one that the boy believed to be truth. Sebastian wondered what Jamie grandfather will do when he find out that the boy is slowly regaining his memories of that day. Sebastian gazed down at the boy in his arms, he find himself wishing that the boy would remember that they have met way before that day.

--------------
Jeffery stood by the small window in his room, looking out into the court yard, tomorrow is his last day here in Zhanthia and that means that it is also his last day to spend time with his son Jamie. Jeffery closed his eyes, and memories of that day, the day that his father found him came rushing back at him.

flashback

Jeffery rolled to the side and vomited black blood onto the ground,before rolling back onto his back to wait for his young son to returned from the town. He didn't have to wait long, his young son Jamie came running up the mountain carrying a basket of herbs on his back.

“Father I'm back,” little Jamie called as he enter their small home.

Jeffery managed a weak smiled for his son, he coughed and vomited more black blood. little Jamie put down the basket of herbs and run to his father side.

“Father,” little Jamie called with concern as he took out a white handkerchief and wiped the blood off his father mouth.

“Father I got some herb for you from the town people, they told me that you will get better once you drink the herb. I am going to run down to the waterfall and get some water to boil the herb for you to make you all better again father.” Little Jamie said before disappearing out the door.

Jeffery closed his eyes and silently he cried, his young son Jamie thought that he was sick but in reality he was poison by none other then the person he love with all his heart. He knew that it is only a matter of days now before the poison will reached his heart and killed him leaving his son all alone in this world. And that thought sadden him. he was lost in his thought that he didn't hear the door opened and a man stepped inside his home until the man said his name.

“I finally found you Jeffery.” said a deep voice.

Jeffery was brought out of his thought right away, he recognized the voice, for it belong to none other then his father the King of Aislin.

“Father,” Jeffery uttered out with his eyes wide opened.

“Jeffery,” said his father.

“How?” Jeffery asked in a low voice. He coughed and vomited out more black bloods.

“I am not hear to tell you how I found you Jeffery, I am here to take you back to Aislin, don't you think its about time for you to returned to your country? Jeffery.”

“I won't returned, I don't want to be king, let me die in peace out here.”

Jeffery father the King of Aislin walked toward his dying son side, “are you sure you want to die Jeffery, what about your son? Think Jeffery what I will do to your bastard son once your dead.”

Jeffery glared at his father, “you bastard, don't you dare hurt my son!” Jeffery shouted out, then he cough and vomit out more bloods.

“If you don't want that bastard son of yours to come to harm then I suggest that you do as I say and returned to Aislin.”

“I'm going to die soon anyway what good I'm I too you father,” said Jeffery.

The king of Aislin let out a cold smiled, “I am able to cure you of your poison Jeffery and when you are cured and well again Jeffery you are going to be the king of Aislin and married the man I choose for you, instead of that weak boy Nicholas that your dad had arranged for you.”

Jeffery knew that he had no choice in the matter, his father is a cruel bastard and he will do what ever it takes to get things his way, what he doesn't understand is why? His father kept insisting for him to be king of Aislin when his brother is much more capable then him. Jeffery turned his face away to avoid looking at his father.

“I will go with you but you must promised not to lay a finger on my son Jamie.” Jeffery said finally agreeing to returned to Aislin.

“I am a man of my word Jeffery, as long as you do as I say I will not harm your bastard son.”

end of flashback

Jeffery turned away from the window and walked over to his bed. He took off his boots and lay down on the soft bed, remembering that day got his blood all boil up, if it wasn't for Sebastian back then his father would have kill Jamie. He was thankful when Sebastian had announced right in front of his father that Jamie will be his consort once Jamie turned twenty. The looked on his father face back then was priceless.

------------
Early the next morning Jamie quickly bath and dressed before heading out to find Eli, he was turning the corner when he bumped into the man that look like his dad. He quickly apologized for bumping into the man.

“I'm sorry!” Jamie and Alan said at the same time. They both looked at each other before bursting out laughing.

“I'm Alan,” Alan introduced himself to the pretty boy before him.

“I'm Jamie.”

Alan eyes widened in surprised, “your Jamie the king consort?”

“Yes, did Demetrius tell you?” Ask Jamie.

Alan gave a slight nod of his head, “he sure did, that damn man kept on going on and on about how you almost die twice because of my brother Arian.”

This time it was Jamie turned to be surprised, “Arian is your brother?” He asked.

Alan nod his head, “yes he is, I just found out yesterday that I was related to him, the man that have a price on his head,” remark Alan.

Jamie suddenly remembered the scene he witness yesterday evening, “is that why you were crying yesterday by the pond?” Ask Jamie.

Alan once again nod his head, then he gave Jamie a small smiled, “I better get going before that damn man started getting suspicious of me?”

Jamie gave Alan a confused looked, “why would Demetrius be suspicious of you?” He asked.

“That damn man still think that I am my brother, he believed that I paid some man to be my father and lie about the whole thing can you believed that?”

“No I can't, and I wonder why he refused to believed you and your father claim.”

“You should see the looked on his face when your king announced that I could returned to my home, because of that damn man I am stuck here until they find my damn brother who I had never met before in my entire life. Because of him I am a prisoner here, confide to his room and only allowed to be out for no more then thirty minute a day that is what that damn jerk said to me.”

Jamie try hard not to smiled, the looked on Alan face tell him that the man was not as mad about the whole situation as he made it out to be.

“Well then I shouldn't keep you from returning to Demetrius chamber.”

“I hope to run into you again consort Jamie, I don't know why, but I like you,” then Alan ran off.

Jamie continued on to find Eli, he looked every where and still no signed of Eli, Jamie put both hand on his hips and think as hard as he can, “where would Eli be at this time of day?” He murmured to himself.

------------
Eli stood in front of the cell facing Conor holding a tray of food, he patiently waited for the guard to unlocked the cell to let him in.

“Called for me if he gives you any troubled consort Eli,” said the guard.

“I will,” Eli said before entering the cell. The guard closed the cell and locked it. Eli slowly walked up to Conor and place the tray of food in front of Conor.

Conor stared up at Eli and grinned, “why are you here Eli?” Conor cut right to the chase.

“I want to know the truth from your mouth Conor, did you or did you not killed the Zhanthia king first consort?”

“What would you do to me if I said yes?” Conor said with a smirked.

“Just answered the damn question Conor!” Eli demanded angrily.

“Yes I did I killed him,” Conor admitted.

“Why? Why did you killed him? what did he ever do to you?” Eli shouted angrily at Conor.

“Nothing, I just wanted Sebastian to suffered for making you his consort.” Conor said in a cold voice.

“You,Conor are the worst,” Eli commented before calling out for the guard to let him out. He ran up the stairs and bumped into Nicolas.

Nicholas took one looked at Eli and knew that Conor was the reason for the man distress.

“Eli, you should forget that man, he isn't worth it.”

Eli nod his head and then he looked up at Nicholas, “Nicholas there is something that I need to ask you?”

“What is it?”
