Chapter 4

I brought her to a room a couple doors down from mine. I placed her on the bed and took off her shoes so it wouldn't get the bed dirty. I debated about it for a minute and then decided to put her under the covers. I haven't interacted with her much, but every time I do she talks about how I act. No one's really done that before and it's kind of starting to hit a nerve. So, me putting her under the covers is something I'm doing to try to be sweet. I moved the blankets and picked her up again to move her under them. She snuggled up against my chest while I held her and my heart sped up. I quickly placed her under the covers then tucked her in all comfy, it didn't take her long to start cuddling up to a pillow and the blankets. The healing coven members arrived and ran tests on her, supposedly they say she seems to have never been sick before. Other than that, she's alright. They left some potions for her to help when she wakes. Whether he wanted me to or not, I went back on my patrols around the castle. I know uncle wanted me watching Y/N, but she'll be fine. I'm going to be checking on her every now and again.

While out on my patrols I was informed that some news stations heard rumors about her capture so I ordered they dismissed them all. Right after that, I went to check on her again. I arrived at the room she was being kept in and opened the door. My breath hitched, she was sitting up. We stared at each other a minute, I liked looking at her. Then, I snapped back into it. "The Emperor demands your presence immediately." I said to her."I'm not leaving this room unless something is given to me so I can cover up." I didn't like her tone, but I also just didn't understand what she said. Something to cover up with? Why? "Did you not understand what I said the first time? The Emperor demands your presence-" I was speaking trying to get her to comply when she cut me off. "Don't be such a jerk, if anything you're the one who can't understand a thing, I just want to cover up!" I clenched my fists and my jaw tightened. "I'm not a jerk." I said letting my tone show how bothered I was. She pissed me off. "Then stop acting like one just because you work for the Emperor." Her dumb little voice sounds sweet but says things that make me angry. I clenched my fists even tighter then grab the door and slammed it shut when I left. I mumbled what she said mocking her as I entered my room, then I calmed myself down. "I'm sweeter to her because she always has to comment on my attitude and in the end I still get told I'm a jerk?" I huffed taking a deep breath. I began looking through my closet for something she could wear, I didn't want to make it obvious it was mine. I took a shirt that I normally wear for pajamas, it's a baggy Tshirt. It fits me well but it's still just a little big, so it'll probably be very baggy on her. But, she can live. I held onto the shirt and went back to the room she was in. My face felt hot going back to the room, especially with me about to give her my shirt to wear, temporarily of course. After I went in and handed it to her things between the two of us seemed more cooled down rather than angry and tense. She agreed to go to Belos so I didn't have to force her.  Y/N always says things that make me think, so while I waited outside the Emperor's throne room for the two I thought about the things she's told me.

*Present*

Suddenly, I heard Y/N raising her voice inside, and it turned into shouting and screaming. I became concerned so I got down on my knee and looked through the keyhole. Uncle Belos was standing infront of his throne watching as guards held her still and Graye used his amplifier to search through her memories. The rooms scenery was changing constantly depending on what memory he was on. Sometimes Y/N would be fighting, other times she'd be happy, and so on. "What the heck..." I whispered under my breath. Although I'm slightly worried, I can't do anything. Emperor Belos makes the rules, and if he wants to search through her memories, he can.

Y/N's POV

I was screaming, trying to fight against him searching my memories. "This hurts, stop!" I felt like my heart was getting slowly ripped out of my chest. "This process isn't stopping until I figure out who you really are... Blossom." My eyes widened as Belos spoke, memories of my Nana started coming across. "No, no, no-" I whispered under my breath freaking out. Even I didn't remember the event with my parents, who said there's a guarantee he'll even find it? But even then, if he sees the memory of the portal he'll know I was in the human realm. I was remembering so many good and bad things. Good things like celebrating birthdays with Eda, King, and Hooty, and bad things like having to fight in some situations that never should have happened. What makes those bad memories even worse is that I wasn't even 12 years old by the time I started fighting and dueling. It's sad, but at least I always won.
