A short little story of love
It was a dark, snowy night somewhere in Russia. A small grey car was driving through the forest, the girl inside desperately trying to find the road on the map her grandmother had given her. Irina was on her way to her grandmother, Karen’s house to stay with her and her uncle, Adrian, during the Christmas holydays. It had been 5 years since she saw them at her home in Manchester and she was 21 now. Unfortunately Karen lived far from the capital in a smaller village deep in the vast forests of Russia and the map she had been given seemed to older.
Now here she was in the middle of the forest and had been driving for 19 hours with no luck nor cell service. Suddenly the car slowed and stopped, it had run out of gas. Irina got out of the car in frustration, she cursed loudly and leaned against the car in defeat with tears brimming in her eyes what if no one would find her she thought sadly. It was dark with no lights except the one from her car and she was scared that she may be attacked by some wild animal. Suddenly she heard footsteps and a tall figure came in to view. Now she was scared for real, what if it was a murderer or something but then she smelled something heavenly coming from the direction of the dark figure, drawing her to it. The figure stepped into the light if her car and she saw a man, a very big but also very handsome man making her feel small. She and her family were very short, she being only 1.53 cm in height. He started walking towards her almost in a daze, towering over her more and more with each step until he was right in front of her, her head didn’t even reach his shoulder.
Alexander had been out to patrol the borders of his kingdom, to check that no rouges or dark witches were causing trouble only to hear a loud curse. At first he thought it was someone trying to break the barriers of protection of his kingdom but when he smelt a mouthwatering aroma he knew what it meant. His search for his soulmate was finally over. Alexander was a werewolf meaning he had a soulmate he could recognize by scent. He walked towards the scent and found a small woman in a red jacket. When she heard him she turned rapidly to him and he saw the cutest woman he had ever seen. When he saw her unshed rears he asked:
What’s wrong? Why are you crying?
I was on my way to my grandmother’s house, but my car is out of gas and I can’t call her.
What’s your name?
Irina
I’m Alexander, you can stay with me for the night and tomorrow well see what we can do.
Irina couldn’t explain it but she felt eternal safety with Alexander but was utterly shocked when he picked her up and then ran so fast all she could see was trees pas by in a blur. When she opened her eyes she saw a big castle surrounded by a beautiful town but that wasn’t what surprised her was the people. Some had wings, some had red eyes, some were super tall and some very short. She turned to him in amazement.
Who are you?
Welcome to Zinor the kingdom of the supernatural and I’m Alexander the werewolf king.
Why am I here if I’m human? She asked in bewilderment, she was human and if this was a kingdom for the supernatural why would the king let her in?
Well that’s because you are my soulmate, the other half to my soul and you aren’t human. You are a nymph.
Now she was really confused, all her life she had thought she was a human. He pulled her hand to get her attention.
Let’s go to the castle and I’ll explain everything there.
When they reached the castle Alexander explained everything, he explained about the vampires, werewolves, fairies and nymphs that lived in Zinor and their properties. He told her the history of Zinor and about his family when they were hunted 900 years ago and how his ancestors built Zinor as a sanctuary for supernatural creatures. He helped her discover her powers as a nymph and during this time fell more and more in live with each other. Before they knew it a week hade almost past and Irina remembered about her grandmother and uncle. With Alexanders help she called them and drove to their house but not without many protests from Alexander. She herself almost didn’t want to go and leave him behind but she had to at least see her family once. Once she got there she explained her adventure to Karen and Adrian much to their horror. They were supernatural hunters and had loved Irina until they found out she was a nymph. They locked her in the basement and called the Jagters a big group of supernatural hunters who had been searching for Zinor for a long time to wipe out the supernaturals.
Irina sat devastated in the basement, she had heard that Karen was launching an attack at Zinor the same day and didn’t know what to do to stop it. She felt betrayed by her grandmother and uncle and wanted to warn Alexander of the attack. There was a little window in the basement that she was able to get open and used the powers she had learnt she had to send a message with a nearby bird to Alexander. Karen and Adrian were already gone by the time he arrived and got her out and together they joined the fight against the Jagters army. They fought all night and by dawn the fight was over, the supernaturals had won.
Irina decided to move to Zinor to live with Alexander and accept her role as queen of Zinor and the supernaturals. She wanted to explore the world she had never known and she also wanted to explore the love for Alexander that already ran deep in her heart.
The end
