Part 9
Kitty, the fae, manages to work as a guard for the Queen. A nice change and one that does not goes unnoticed. The pureblood faes seem to take an interest in her, of course, pureblood faes are royalty in every sense of the world (there´s a small legend, one that Kurt loves to tell her in the full moon, where pureblood faes are regards as the real children of the Outer Gods and Pheonix loves to gift them with whatever they desire) and is not always good to be on the receiving end of their direct attention.
Lately, she´s thinking about the past, no, that´s the problem. That´s a lie. Kitty can lie and she often dreams with a corridor. A dark navy corridor with few lights and smell of alcohol in this dream Kitty is walking and is calling for someone...she´s afraid.
And as always...she wakes up before the dream could give her any more detail.”Good morning, Katzchen, how was your sleep?” Kurt speaks with a pearl smile. Kurt smiles at Kitty. Kurt has many smiles and Kitty knows a majority of their meaning.
He knows something.
“My sleep was the same” Kitty feels her heart beating and somehow feels as if it will leave her ribcage. A change of topics is in order. “Kurt, why faes can´t lie?” again, another smile of his. He knows something.
“Oh, my beloved Katzchen, Zaorva made us...Zaorva hates liars even though she can lie...guess is a double stander here, anyway, she made us unable to lie and we don´t lie. Period.” Kurt looks at her is so rare to see Kurt wearing outfits. Normally, he prefers to be completely naked.
“I thought it was because of Death...she was mad at us and cursed us to be unable to lie” Kitty offers an alternative explanation and Kurt nods at her words calmly. For a huntsman of his calibre, Kurt is actually very calm and is very seldom one can see Kurt losing his temper.
“True, true. Death was not happy with one of us and cursed us...maybe, the two sisters cursed us together or it was a coincidence, either way, we can´t lie...we can´t...but you can, Katzchen...you can lie, can you?” Kurt now drinks his beverage with his golden eyes lock on Kitty.
He knows!
He knows!
He knows!
“I don´t know” she reveals neutral and tries to not thinking about her supposed lie. Was it a lie? “I really don´t know” and now he stops smiling as seems to be judging her.
“In that case, this stay between us, Katzchen, don´t forget this. It stays among us and only us”
And Kitty nods silently.
“Don`t let the Pureblood faes know...they can´t know...for your own good” and now he refuses to speak anything and Kitty can only nod and promises to him she won´t tell and she´s not lying.
Can she really lie?
No, of course not, she´s a fae.
