Mated (supernatural)
He was always there the moment my head hit my pillows. I could hardly remember a time, i had not known him. But as i grew older, things began to change...
I could feel discomfort etched into my entire being. I had not seen him for the past six months. After what I had done, I felt stronger. I felt better. Than I had in years, it had been a detox. A good clean detox. There was no doubt that part of me loved him. Part of me that craved his presence, a huge part just wanted to see him again and hear his voice. But I could no longer afford his presence in my life.
When Kanta chachi, had decided to take me to a doctor, I could not help but feel anxious. And uncomfortable. I hated medication and doctors.
But she had assured me this one would just do a check-up. I needed to see the world more. I needed to get out more, so I agreed. But I could not help but fear, that he would come back...
As a child I had thought of him as my guardian angel. He had saved me, in my dreams. I had been in a car accident with my parents and before the car could explode I had dreamt of him.
I was seven at the time. I had wanted ice cream, that night I had insisted on it. My mother and father had been far more lenient with me, than my chachi's and chacha's were with their children. So they had taken me out that night, for ice cream. If I had known that night I would meet him, that night I would lose my parents. I would have given up ice cream all together.
But I don't remember much about them. I only remember the little things you know, like my mother always smelled like cinnamon, and father love for winter green and how when he hugged me I would wrinkle my nose at the smell.
I remembered my mothers little smiles, the ones she gave when I smiled at her.
We were happy. Normal. And then it happened. It happened so quickly I cant even remember how or where the car came from. All I remember was we were off the road, and the reeds of the field which the car had lit up.
I remember thinking that it was so hot, I could not breath, and how badly my hand hurt. And not being able to open the car door. My father turned and looked at me with tears in his eyes, and told me to open the door, I couldn't open it. It was stuck. My eyes blurred, my mother. My mother was not saying anything...
I was looking at my father, who was crying.
I could not understand why was he crying.
The door was ripped of the hinges.
"Please save my Mehek I could hear him beg, a stranger. I finally looked up, and my eyes widened. As a beautiful man stood at the door, he was pale, with inky black hair all brushed away from his forehead, he wore a black suit. His eyes, were dark brown, he reminded me of those actors and models, Mansi chachi would show my mother pictures off. He had a tattoo on his neck that looked like wings of a bird...
"Go with him Mehek, I love you... He had told me, I wanted to say I love you too. But I could not. All of a sudden I was outside. The white dress my mother had made me wear was covered in sooth. I stood there on the highway. And the stranger bent down. He looked at me weirdly. We were not anywhere near the car. We were on a bridge at the top of it. On a narrow beam.
"This is impossible He said, touching my face. His hands were warm and gentle.
"A little f**king human He said almost angrily.
"Mummy says we shouldn't say bad words
He seemed taken aback that I had spoken.
"The elders are going to have a field day, a puny little human child is Shaurya Khanna's... He said as if I had not spoken.
"I want to see my parents I said taking a step, I never liked heights much. I stumbled a little and I felt his hand grip my upper arm, in an iron clad grasp.
"Are you mad, you could have died He said angrily lifting me up, I reached out and placed my head on his shoulder, the way I had always done when my chachu's or father had carried me. And my bottom lip wobbled.
"For gods sake... He muttered annoyed.
"I want to see my parents... I said softly. He pushed my head a little into his chest. He smelled, like spice, warm and inviting.
"How about ice cream? He asked in a different voice one that was almost soft, When I looked up over his shoulder, I noticed we were at a park.
"I will have some later can I see my parents... I asked again, something in my chest told me something was wrong.
He took me to the ice cream vendor and got me a cup in every flavour.
I did not want to eat it.
I couldn't...
He would from time to time, reach out and touch my hand almost as if to make sure I was really there.
After what felt like 30 ice creams and a trip to a weird place where all the people had tattoos like him, and several movies. A younger looking man met him. He also had a similar tattoo.
"You have to give her back, you cannot take her now, She has to be of age
"Vicky, She is my little human, her father gave her to me practically
"You are being selfish, her parents funeral has being stalled because the child has disappeared, from the accident, you know the order of things. A human child, missing will cause a lot of problems in the order
"I have waited, for 10000 years, Of misery, of living in this purgatory...
"I am not saying don't watch her or see her at all but be practical about it Shaurya
"Fine I will take her back, But not because I am scared of the order, or the elders, but because she should get a chance to tell her parents good bye. When she is eighteen I will take her to the realm to the people
"I understand brother He told him. I could not understand their conversation. I was far more interested in the tricks the man with a similar tattoo was showing me while looking at me in almost an awe like stance.
"I cannot tell her... Shaurya said to him.
"Let her family tell her He told him and left.
"Come we need to go back He said, holding out his hand, he wore black always. Suits perfectly tailored expensive, but only in black. I gave him my small hand. and he stared at it for a minute.
"I could squish you like a bug He said to me, he was weird. He often boasted about how strong he was.
"I will haunt you forever if you hurt me I said to him.
"I am bound to never hurt you
"You talk weirdly I informed him. "Are we going to see my parents? I asked him.
"Yes, you are going to see them
"Why don't you want to meet them? I asked him.
"I... He stared at me, and then closed his eyes.
"Off you go little Mehek do me a favour don't cry too much it will make me want to squish your kind, I will see you later He was gone in a blink of my eyes. I was outside my house. Maybe mom and dad would scold me a little for going off with a stranger, but when they met him they would understand he was a good person...
My kanta chachi and mansi chachi, answered the door together, they were wearing white.
Suddenly I was lifted in the air by Kanta chachi.
"We found Mehek She screamed.
"Where were you Mehek? They asked me.
"I was with Shaurya, he saved me... My chachi looked at me strangely.
"Mehek, you were thrown out of the car, on impact... She said.
I shook my head.
"No Shaurya saved me, ask daddy he saw him
"Mehek your father died on impact She said, I was about to argue but her words stuck me.
"What do you mean died? I asked.
"Your parents have gone to heaven She told me.
"When will they come back I asked, were they mad with me for leaving with Shaurya and having so many ice creams?
"They wont be coming back
I was devastated. My miraculous survival had been plastered all over newspapers. And like everyone else, I had started to believe that I had imagined meeting him. Nobody else...
After the trauma.
And then on my birthday. Everyone had forgotten about it. I guess, with all the ceremonies and stuff for my parents, I kind of understood. I went to sleep that night only to be woken up with him.
We were back at Disney land.
He sat across me.
He looked tired.
"You are real I whispered. What I had seen had not been fake. There was no way, I could have imagined, meeting him. Now I would show him to everyone and they would know I was telling the truth...
"Of course, I am real chicklet He said, reaching out and touching the top of my head.
"But everyone says...
"That I am not real?
"Yes I don't understand
"Did you ever watch peter pan Mehek?
I nodded.
"I am like peter pan without the f**king ugly clothing He said, with a smirk.
"You want to take me to neverland
"No I want to... He remained quiet for a minute. As if he did not want to say what ever he needed to.
He did not say it. Because he probably did not want to
"When you are old enough I can take you He said touching my hand. He liked touching my hand. I noticed.
He took me to an ice cream man and got me a cup of double chocolate chip. He knew I liked it. He remembered.
When I noticed another kid crying over a fallen cone of ice cream. I handed it over to him. He looked at me weirdly almost as if he could not understand why I would do that.
"Do you want another one? He asked me, I shook my head.
"I want to see my parents again... I told him, he looked uncomfortable.
"I rented out this place for your birthday He said pointing to a tent, carefully changing the topic.
"What is inside?
"A friend told me little girls like you like fairy tales so... He seemed to be uncomfortable saying it.
I went towards it... Inside there were woman dressed as princesses, feathers rained down on my head.
I half smiled when one of the princes handed me a heart. And allowed them to usher me.
{}{}{}
After my birthday, I began to look forward to meeting Shaurya. No matter what I said nobody believed me about him.
I was diagnosed with sleep walking. And bipolar disorder. They gave me medication, to make him disappear but he never did. I hated taking those tablets and mixtures, the only time I did not see him was when I went to the temple.
Growing up I was the abnormal Sharma. While Nehal and Mohit would play outside, while I remained inside. My medications made me weaker than them. I was not able to run outside and play normally. Not that they really liked playing with me, my chachi's were often to busy with work to pay me any attention and I spent most of my time asleep. With Shaurya...
When I was with him, I did not feel as tired as I did when I was awake. I remembered asking him about it.
"Shaurya why don't I feel tired with you? I asked him, he stopped mid stride. He looked at my smaller hand latched onto his.
"Because we are not supposed to be apart for long periods of time He said, to me.
"Why is that
"When you are older I will let you know
"You don't need to play with other kids, we have each other right He said, I nodded.
"Good, would you like to go for a walk on the beach?
I nodded and he bent down and picked me up. I closed my eyes as he asked and suddenly we were on the beach.
As I got older, our relationship changed. So did I. And my energy levels just were not normal. I could barely wake up and get out of bed. Chachi often brought a priest to see me, and on those days I felt even worse.
Around my 16th birthday, I began to notice Shaurya never aged. At this point, the internet had grown rather large around our area and when Nehal and Mohit went to school I would take their computers and try to look up what he was.
Was he a figment of my imagination that I let control me so fully?
Was he real?
If he was real what was he?
Why did he keep seeing me?
He often called me little human.
"What are you? I asked him one day as he sat next to me in a beautiful garden.
"Peter pan? He joked.
"I am not a kid anymore I told him, he smirked.
"I know that, that's why I prefer us going to places like this where we can be alone. His eyes, ran over my body. I had just started to feel my hips and breasts grow. And all of a sudden I was...big...
"You don't age, you never eat, you never get hurt... or sick...
"If I told you, you would not want to be with me He said, I shook my head.
"Never He was my best friend. I always wanted to be with him.
"I know how humans behave... He said pointedly. "I cannot afford to lose my mate
"Vampire?
"Do I look like a mosquito He asked laughing.
"Werewolf?
"Nope
"Mermaid
"I don't smell like fish
"Incubus?
"Have I ever tried to have sex with you?
"No... I said blushing uncomfortably.
"Don't worry about what I am Mehek, just enjoy our time together once you are 18 we will be able to be together forever, we will no longer have to wait like this...
{}{}{}
About 6 months before my eighteenth birthday. I saw my tablet container on the counter, I took 6 every day. It looked weirdly empty. I waited for Mansi chachi to come upstairs, to tell her.
"Chachi, I don't have medicines I told her, when she finally came up stairs. She looked at the container and frowned.
"I guess we should go to the clinic then
{}{}{}
The trip was uneventful, I don't remember much of it. What happened afterwards would remain in my mind until the day I died...and maybe even there after...
I was waiting for my doctor to see me. With Mansi chachi at my side.
And there was nothing familiar about him apart from the fact he had the same tattoo like Shaurya. On his neck. Excitement bubbled inside me.
"Mehek Sharma, how long has it been since you last saw Shaurya? He asked me.
"Do you know him?
"No He said, without looking up from the case file, he was lying. Right.
"Mehek concentrate, when was the last time you saw Shaurya?
"Why do you need to know this?
"So I know how much medicine to give you...
"Last night
"And what happened last night
"He told me soon we would be together forever
"Does he ask you to hurt yourself
"No He was protective of me.
"How will you two be together forever then?
"He has not told me yet
"If he asked you to hurt yourself would you do it?
"He would never
He kept noting something down.
"I think we need to give you an injection
No doctor had ever given me an injection in years.
Something was wrong.
"No I said, shaking my head.
"Do you want to be normal like other kids?
"No I wanted to continue the way I was.
He pressed some buttons and some people entered his room. They all had similar tattoos like Shaurya. I looked at chachi panicked, she seemed frozen almost.
"NO!!! I screamed, trying to look for an escape. They were going to hurt me.
"This could have been easy, but you want to fight. I will not accept a human queen
"Yes, she is not even that pretty how can she be the great kings mate
"He is probably mistaken, humans can never be a dark faes mate
They closed in on me and started touching my hair.
"She smells like him
"He will kill all of us are you sure?
"I tried to kill her before, but she holds onto life like the little parasite she is Had they been the ones to hurt my parents?
"He saved, her he has been looking for us...
"What about this one One of them asked touching Mansi chachi's hair.
"Don't touch her I spat out.
"You think you can order me? He said looking amused.
"I will never answer to a human queen
"We have no time be quick another whispered.
"In the name of the king the doctor said raising a silver knife, with engraved word on it. At me.
I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact that never came.
I was in a garden, Shaurya often brought me to in our dreams, I was covered in blood only it was not my blood. He was standing in front of me. In a perfect black suit. His hand same face crumpled in anger.
"Whose blood is this? Those people were like Shaurya, he never bled. I was not bleeding. The only possible person was Mansi chachi...
I fell onto my knees.
And felt my eyes grow misty.
"Why did you not save her
"I couldn't save her...
He bent down to hold me, I pushed his arms away.
"I want to go I said.
"Mehek...
"I don't want to see you ever again, they said they killed my parents because of you
"Mehek its not that simple
"I don't want to see you ever again I told him. He closed his eyes.
I hit him on his chest.
"I want to go home, I don't care what you are...I don't want to see you ever again... I don't want to hear anything...
He looked at the ground.
"Fine he said. The garden began to disintegrate.
I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital room. Kanta chachi was at my side. She was holding my hand.
{][][]
Now.
The doctor seeing me, was beautiful. He was wearing a thick polo neck, I had this habit of scanning peoples necks to see if they were well one of them...
"How long have you been a doctor? I asked her. When we were alone and she had asked me sit on the bed in her room.
"I should be asking you questions She told me politely.
She looked weak. Very weak.
"Are you ok? I asked her, when she held onto the bed where I sat, on I reached out and touched her arm. She looked at my hand. and for a weird moment I felt her almost regain her stance from my touch.
She was a fae.
She was one of his people.
I read about them.
They enchant people. With their beauty. They play tricks on their minds. He was gone, but I could not keep my mind of him. I wanted to know more. I wanted to know what he had been afraid of me finding out.
"Are you going to kill me? I asked her, she looked mortified.
"How could I kill the queen? That would be a sin of the highest order She said.
"I am not any queen... I said queens were fae. I was human.
"We need you, we were all ordered not to see you ever again, the king would kill me if he knew I was here She said, she bent down onto her knees. And held a hand over her heart.
"I pledge my allegiance my queen, I have come to seek your help, the king will die if you do not come with me
"What is wrong with him?
"Being apart from you my queen has made him ill it's the first time since the beginning of all time a dark fae has found a human mate, for the first time there is hope our kind will see that not all humans are evil it is the beginning of a wonderful era, Fae cannot live without their mates, they perish, the king will not survive if you do not come to the realm before your 18th birthday, if he does not see you he will perish. He cannot be part from you, we have very little time
"I don't want to go back there, this must be a trick
"It is not I assure you
She pulled out a mirror like object from her pocket, in it I could see Shaurya laying on a bed, with a dozen people all surrounding him. while his handsome face contorted in pain.
I, blinked and a tear ran down my cheek. Memories of him carrying me and asking holding my hand flashed before me and my chest ached. Then little chips began to fall in place, these past six months had not been a detox. All I had done was look for answers to what he was to what he was afraid of telling me.
"Why did those people kill my parents?
"There was a prophecy that, a human would be the 7th kings mate, whose father would ask him to take care of her, and she would change the realm forever with her kindness, perceptions would change... The dark fae does not even know what kindness means... They were part of the rebellion against the king my queen, our people are not murderers She said shaking her head. I believed her. Memories of their land floated in my mind.
And how when I was a child they would all stare at me in awe...
"Shaurya...
"Has been protecting you, as long as he keeps seeing you he was able to live and our kingdom was thriving, better than ever before
"Why did he not want to tell me what he was?
"I do not know my queen, all I know is my kings life is in your hands
I closed my eyes I could see him smiling at me when I gave all my food to other kids for the 10th time.
"I will go I said to her. She looked relieved.
"Thank you my queen She said.
Suddenly we were in the room. The dozens of people in the room all turned and looked at me. Unlike them all dressed in black I was wearing white.
I could hear them whisper human. Human. I did not really hear any of it. I just walked towards him and half threw myself on the bed against him. His brow that had contorted with pain earlier relaxed. And his colour slowly returned. His ragged breathing eased.
"I thought you never wanted to see me again he said, with his eyes he motioned for all the people to leave.
"I didn't I told him.
"What made you change your mind?
"Living without you is hard but living in a world where you don't exist would be impossible
"Being with me means leaving your world behind
"Being with my family means you die, I will stay with you. I was wrong to blame you for my parents death...
"It was my fault
"No it wasn't, She told me everything, she told me about mates about the kingdom, about you...Why did not tell me? I said referring to the doctor who had brought me here.
"Humans are not the most understanding creatures, they fear the unknown
"I fear everything, but I know you will protect me always, so as long as you are with me I fear nothing
"I have been in love with you for a long time He said finally his hand threading through my hair. I looked away.
"Ditto I said to him, he shook his head.
"I still cannot believe I have a human mate He said laughing to himself. I laid my head against his chest.
"What happens when I grow old and you remain young?
"In the realm time does not move, you will remain this way for eternity
This was the beginning of my eternity with him...
THE END.
