The Spiritual Dragon

Chapter 5: The Dream

The ground is covered with red arrows..blood everywhere.

What the hell happened here?

I widened my eyes. My parents are on the floor, laying there dead. I see Kyro..looking at my parent's bodies. I started to hyperventilate.

My breathing got heavier.

'Ayame! Please hang in there!' Kyro stepped towards me. I couldn't take it anymore. I started to cry.

Why this dream. Out of all the dreams I have, why this one? I still have nightmares thinking about this day. And why is he in this realm with me? This isn't making any sense.

I couldn't take it anymore. I suddenly woke up screaming. I held on to my clothes. I was sweating. I can feel my heart beating fast.

Someone opened my door. Kyro? He walked towards me. I backed away from him. "Relax..I'm not going to do anything to you. Just tell me what you saw."

He sat next to me. I sighed. "I-I..saw my parents dead on the floor..with arrows through them.." I started to cry.

He sighed and pulled me next to him. "Stop crying will ya?"

Out of nowhere, he kissed me. I widened my eyes. He quickly pulled away from me. "I'll be going now," As he said that, he started to walk away from me but I grabbed his arm. He looked at me.

"P-please don't go.."

"Please don't make this difficult, princess." I didn't listen to him. He sighed. He pulled his hand away from me. I widened my eyes.

"W-wait!"

"Please return to your chambers, princess"

"Did that kiss not mean anything to you?!" I blurted out loud.

"It was just a mere infatuation"

I widened my eyes when he said that. I returned to my chambers. I laid in bed and started to cry.

Nothing more than infatuation..

My heart sunk..How could he do this to me? Play with my feelings like it's nothing. How dare he.

I heard the door opened. Aaron? "Do you need something lieutenant?"

"I was just checking up on yo- Ayame, Why are you crying?!"

I wiped my tears. "I-it's nothing!" I faked a smile. "H-huh. Sure Ayame. I know you better than anyone else."

 He pulled me close to him. "I'm fine Aaron. Please go back. I need to rest. I'll call you when I need you ok?"

"Ok.." He let go of me and walked to his watch area.

Aaron P.O.V.

No way in hell I'm believing that Ayame cried for no reason. That damn prince has to do something with it. I thought to myself.

"Aaron, where were you?" Nouren asked me.

"Nowhere." He looked at me suspiciously.

He widened his eyes. "Black hair..."

"I-it's not what it looks-"

I felt a burn on my cheek area. He slapped me. "You must be really stupid, to think I don't know what you did."

"You only have one job and one job only; to protect that dragon with the cost of your life."

"You should be ashamed of yourself."

"Ashamed of myself? For holding a frightened girl in my arms? What if that monster drags her into bed and ravages her."

"That's none of our concern."

"Bs. I'm leaving." I said as I started to walk away from him.
