Astrid The Hybrid Princess - Chapter 312 Concerns and Love

CHAPTER 312

“White-Fire?”

“We need to talk.”

Astrid’s smile immediately changed the next minute and she became serious. “I know, White-Fire. Thank you for coming as well.”

“Anytime.”

“Umm, Jareth.”

“Yes?”

“Please give me some time, I need to do something.”

“What do you want to do?” He was not sure about her request, considering her mood changed almost instantly.

“I need to think.”

“You mean recall.” He took the words right out of her mouth, leaving Astrid at a loss for words. “Astrid, do not do this to yourself. Your mind does not need that mental stress after just waking up.”

“I understand your concern, Jareth but this is important. I cannot know. I need to know exactly what happened.”

“And you will. Give it time to come to you naturally.”

“It may take time for that to happen.”

“And it might not. Remember that last time at the forest when you took down all those men?”

“I remember, not something I would like to recall.”

“I am sorry for bringing it up but you recall how you tried to recall when your brain was still not full at his best and how it made you fall unconscious again?”

“Yes, but this is different. I did not have a power surge. I just… I do not even know what I had.”

“You were angry. Let us leave it at that, Astrid. I do not want anything harming you further.”

“I would be fine. Besides, White-Fire would be guarding me through it.”

“White-Fire?”

Gulp!

“Yes. So relax.”

“Snow, talk to her.” Jareth turned to where Snow sat down watching them batter out the inevitable.

He yawned and then gave Jareth a nod that he understood before looking at his master.

“Astrid, I would have said listen to him but then again, mother is here so I can trust that she would properly guide you as she can reach you better than any of us if you are going too far.”

“Thank you, Snow.”

“But remember, it was quite dangerous with what happened and you scared him so bad. Try and understand where he is coming from. All he wants is for you to be okay.”

“I understand. Look at my baby talking so maturely.”

“It is what happens when you interact with adults a lot.”

“Naughty baby. I would be alright, now off you go to play with Jareth.”

“Yes, master. Mother, take care of master for me.”

“I will, son. I will.”

With that, Sow shook his head back at Jareth who was looking at him expectantly.

Realizing that her mind was made up and bent on the issue, he rubbed her arms lightly, before giving her his final warning.

“Please be okay, do not overdo it. If you feel any strain on your mind, kindly stop and continue later.”

“I will. Thanks.”

Jareth got up and went to sit down with Snow as both of them watched from afar silently.

“I am sorry, he is worried.”

“He should be.”

“What?”

“Astrid, what we are about to discuss isn’t something to be taken lightly.”

“I understand.”

“No you do not know the gravity and I feel it may be linked to your emotions as well. Astrid, you are changing.”

White-Fire’s words kept replaying in her mind. ‘You are changing. Astrid, you are changing.’

“Quick, erect a barrier to keep you in and prevent them from interrupting,”

“They agreed to let me do this,” Astrid countered.

“Your boyfriend would not let you continue. He would be far too scared to see you go through it again.”

At the mention of boyfriend, Astrid blushed a bit but tried to mask it with her reply. “But I am just going to recall and nothing more.”

Unfortunately for her, White-Fire could feel her reaction. “Naughty girl, I guess there is no denying the love between you two now. You did not deny him being your boyfriend, has he confessed his love for you?”

White-Fire’s question did indeed shock Astrid as one minute they were talking about something serious and the next minute, she changed the topic to something not serious.

“I thought we were discussing something else, how come it changed to this?”

“Do not deviate from the question, Astrid. As he?”

“There is nothing going on between us.”

“The same person that kisses you whenever he wants and touch you and yet you tell me that? You two can keep on deceiving yourselves. Wasn’t his steamy session what caused you to go berserk?”

“You saw that?”

“What do you think?” White-Fire spat back, sharply, causing Astrid to blush from embarrassment.

“He loves you, Astrid and you love him too.”

“But he would not say it.”

“Then make him to.”

“I would try.”

“that is better. Now, where were we? Ah! I remember. Like I said, recalling can trigger your powers to act on their own again and when that does, he would jump in and save you as he had always done, without thinking. Unlike the last time, he knows not all times could be easy.”

“What really happened to me?” Astrid asked. she was tired of all the pieces of information going on and needed to know what had occurred.

“You are about to find out. Erect the barrier first and close your eyes.”

Astrid obeyed her command and in no time, she had erected the barrier without Jareth and Snow’s awareness.

She shut both eyes closed and readied herself for what was about to happen.

“Now, try to remember, look in deep to the depths of your heart and mind, to where lost memories are found. Take it slow, no rushing. Calm you remind, dear.”

She tried all she could, trying to take her mind slowly so that she would not trigger anything once the memories kick in.

“Good, now recall the events that happened the previous day. What triggered you to use your powers.”

Astrid continued, remembering their argument and how heaty turned to steamy and Jareth leaving her like that, then she got mad.

She did not get mad because of what he did but that he deliberately did that to show a useless point and still smirk about it.

All she wanted was to scare him a little and scare him, she did.
