“ Nyk… Dreams… ”

☘️ Chapter 17 ☘️

💕 Unknown 💕

The black limo stopped at the front of the palace. A guard went to the back side of one of the car opening it for the young lady to step out.

The guard closed the door behind her. Her face was already plastered with a smile as she stared at Lucas.

“Hello, son.”

He went forward to her k-ssing her palm softly, ” Mother, it’s nice to see you again.”

“I couldn’t stay without thinking about you. How have you been? ”

” Great. Especially now I’m looking at you. ” He k-ssed it again. ” Why don’t we go in,side? ”

” Thank you. ”

As they made their way into the palace, Elena met with them. Nyk was overwhelmed to see her once again.

Elena ran into her embrace hugging her tightly. ” Mother. How have you been?” She asked breaking the hug.

” Much better and you? ”

She looked at Lucas, ” I’ve been great. Lucas has been there for me. ”

He smirked,

” Come on mother, we have a ceremony for your return. ”

[THAT NIGHT]

The hall was crowded. Both the royals and the villagers all assembled in the palace.

There were lots of food and drinks to celebrate Nyk’s return after her long lost.

Lucas excused himself out for awhile. Just at his usual place of being alone, he wondered within himself.

Elena noticed this and decided to follow him.

“You should be happy.” She said walking to where he stood. ” Everyone are happy, you should be happy too and not staying here all alone. ”

He looked at her, then smiled. ” I don’t think the ceremony is meant for me. I wanna be alone for now.”

She held his shoulder, ” What’s bothering you, Lucas. You know you can talk to me about it. ”

He looked at her again. ” Nothing. ”

She sighed. ” If you say so, I’ll let you be. But… try not to overthink. ” She k-ssed his forehead.

She left…

The ceremony was a long lasting one. After the dinner was over, entertainment took over. For once, everyone seemed to be happy again.

Such occasions like this were rear, only often does it happens.

Nyk felt more entertained than anyone could feel. Her teeths spread open at each showcase.

And for awhile she felt like being alone. She excused herself and went out through the hallway.

Lora on the other side returned back to her chamber as soon as the main occasion was over. She noticed Lucas had left so she decided to leave too.

She asked a guard about his whereabout and she was told that he’d left to his room.

She set off to his room. She wanted to a chance with him, to see reasons why he’d kept his true identity away from her.

She wanted to proof to herself that she didn’t make a mistake falling in love with him .

And by that chance, she was ready to understand whatever excuses he’s got.

As she made it through the hallway, Nyk came from the opposite direction. From afar, their eyes made contact with each other.

It was like a slow motion as they came closer then passing each other without taking an eye away from one another.

“Excuse me.” Nyk’s voice stopped her. Lora turned back slightly bowing at her. ” What’s your name?”

“I’m Lora Weston.”

“Lora Weston? ” She repeated. ” Have we met before? ”

” Of course not, My lady. If not mistaken, we’ve never come across each other before. ”

She smiled with a nod, ” Forgive my attitude. I was only curious that I’d seen this face before. ”

” It’s nothing serious, My lady. Pardon me too for not noticing you earlier. ” She said, bowing.

” I guess we’re equal in that. ” She offered a smile. ” Good night, Lora. ”

” My pleasure. ” They departed.

Nyk felt a strong omen around Lora that had made her stop her. Not actually because they’d encountered each other somehow. But there was something behind the statement.

Seems like Nyk has seen something no one could see. And that’s why she wasn’t only the highest of all witches… She was the high priestess too.

Lora changed her mind on going further to meet with Lucas, so she decided on returning back to her room instead.

Something might have changed her mind on seeing Lucas. Something so strong about her sudden encounter with the Queen.

She laid flat on her bed, why doesn’t the face look so familiar to her? How can she not remember seeing such face before?

Where have they met each other?

And there was no one to give an answer those questions.

She closed her eyes to sleep even though she could hear the noise from the hall.

[HOURS LATER]

It came again in that same manner.

Then everywhere was quite, the ceremony was fully over leaving everyone to return to their various homes.

Lora began making a sarcastic movement on her bed. Her body was greatly shivering and sweats stained her body with the pillow and the blanket she laid on.

Each time she sees herself in such dream, the samething keeps repeating itself over and over again. And she was the only one left to witness them all.

Her head moved to and fro on her pillow, her body was shaking at the same timeshivering the more.

The curtains torn into halves, everything shaking and falling at the same time. Who knows what level she might be in the dream.

As she opened her eyes, her chocolate brown eyes turned golden, causing the wh0le candles to lighten up.

At that, she was still held captive to her dreams. The candle lights began growing wide. Slowly, it made it’s way in contact with the curtains.

Each seconds, the curtains burnt down. What the hell is happening?!

She fully wake up to reality to find herself in the middle of burning room. She covered her nose with her cloth to prevent the smokes from entering her nostrils.

“Someone help! Someone please get me out of here! ”

Soon, someone banged the door open. He pulled Lora into his arms and out of the room.

Last night it was broken windows and shattered objects on the ground. And today,… It’s a burning room.

What’s really going on?

He buried her face in his palms. ” Are you alright?” He asked, concerned.

She nodded. ” Yes. Yes, I’m fine.”

He pulled her into a hug, k-ssing her forehead softly. ” You’re safe now. You’re safe.”

Elena ran towards them and Lucas gave Lora to her. ” Lora? ” She hugged her too.

“Take her out of her.” He ordered.

Then Nyk was already coming as the fire had caused a great scene in the palace. Her eyes met with Lora, and for some minute didn’t leave hers.

Lora took her eyes off her resting her head on Elena’s chest.

“What happened?” Nyk asked.

“I think someone is trying to kill Lora. ” Lucas replied.

” How long have that been? ” She asked again.

“Last night.”

Elena tapped her back like a child, assuring her that everything was gonna be alright as soon as they find who’s behind the plot.

“What really happened, Lora? Did you see who did this?”

She shooked. ” No. Even if someone did this, it was impossible for me to see who it was. The wh0le room was already on fire when I woke up. ”

” It’s okay. ”

” Elena… ” She called.

” Mm-hmm. ”

” I wanna tell you something. When I told you that my dreams were about Acacia, I lied. They weren’t because of it. ”

Elena was surprised. Why would she hid it from her.

” What then is it about?” She asked.

“It’s about the demons and the hunters.”

“I don’t understand, Lora. What happened between the hunters and us? ”

” There was a war, and no one survived it. Not even you or Lucas, none of you did. The wh0le demons were taken by the hunters. The demons lost in the war. ”

There was a brief moment of silence.

” I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier. I thought it was only a dream but as it kept coming, I don’t think it’s just a dream. ”

” How,,, long have this been? ”

” A week, I didn’t lie in the part I told you it was only twice I’d had this strange dream. ”

” Lora, why? Why didn’t you tell me about this? Why didn’t you tell anyone about what you saw? ”

” Like I told you, I thought it was only a dream. I didn’t mean to keep it from you or from Lucas either. I don’t want you guys to think I’m crazy or,,, or insane, okay? I’m sorry. ”

” I don’t know what to say, Lora. This isn’t just an ordinary dream. ”

” What are you talking about? ” She asked confused.

” You just saw the future.” Nyk concluded as she walked in.

She haven’t overheard their discussion, have she? ”

” What?! ” She exclaimed. ” What does that even mean? ”

” It means the future revealed itself to you. ”

Lora looked at the both of them, shooking. ” This is insane, okay? I only had a dream and not some kind of future happings. I don’t know what you’re talking about and I don’t care. All I know is that it was only a dream. ”

” That made you tear down and totally burn your room? ” Nyk asked.

She was quite.

” Have you ever asked yourself why you are the only survival of Acacia?”

She nodded.

” Have you asked yourself why your little sister had to die in the explosion? ”

She nodded again.

” And have you ever asked yourself why you ended up being here? ”

She nodded again.

” Did you find the answers to those questions?”

She shooked.

“It’s because you were never ready for the answers. You survived the attack is because you’re destined to be alive for a reason. Tina, your little sister had to die not just because she wanted to, but because it was supposed to be that way. ”

“Lastly, you’re here for the same reason as you’re alive. And all this were programmed by fate itself. ”

She sat on one of the chairs beside the bed. ” You keep blaming yourself for being responsible for the death of your people. Why? ”

She made no comment.

” Because you think you’re a demon?” She chuckled.

“Why then did the hunters attack my village?”

Nyk moved her first finger at both sides. ” No. The question is, what really are you?”

“What am I?” She asked back.

Nyk smiled for she knew it was the right time. After all, there stood to be a single survival of her kind.

“You’re a witch, Lora, just like I am.”

“I-I’m a w… witch? How can that be possible? ” She asked in disagreement. “My mother was never a witch and neither was my father. You’re mistaken, there’s no how I can be a witch. No, it can’t be possible. ”

” Lora… ” Elena whispered.

” No! I’m not a witch. Tell her I’m not a witch, Elena. Tell her that I’m that human you always see me as. ”

” Lora.. remember when you asked me what if you were the Demon within,”

” No. I was only trying to believe I’m the reason for their death. Not that I really am a demon!”

” You also asked what if you were the kind of demon I couldn’t find out.” Lora shooked as the tears of disbelief ran out of her eyes. ” I couldn’t find what you are all this while. You need to accept what you really are, Lora. You have to embrace it.” She held her hands.

Nyk stood up, ” If you’re scared of what you are being exposed, I say we keep this to ourselves. ”

She calmed down.

” What kind of witch am I?” She asked.

“We’re yet to find out. But for now, act like we never had this conversation.”

” Why?” She asked again. ” I thought witches and demons are in peace.

” Only ordained ones are expected to be with the demons. ” She replied.

” And if you aren’t ordained?”

” You’ll be executed. So, promise me you will say nothing about this. ”

” This is for my life. My l-ips are sealed. ”

” Good. ” She left.

Elena and Lora kept staring at each other.

“Everything is gonna be alright, okay?” Elena assured.

” I know, ” she sat beside her. ” I’m only scared of how all this will end.”

“I have this feeling that it will end well. Trust me when I say that. ”

She nodded.

“ Come get me… ”

☘️ Chapter 18 ☘️

💕 Unknown 💕

Suddenly, Lucas walked over her, holding his hand out for her to grasp.

“ Walk with me.” He said and she blushed. He must have noticed her ogling for a walk with him, why couldn’t she?

He took her to his secret place, a beautiful lake located in the woods.

Lora looked happy walking on the green grass with her bare feet, then dipping her foot in the water and flicking the cool liquid with her toes.

Lucas just stood there staring at her from afar. She was beautiful with her long blonde hair and her chocolate brown eyes.

Her dress clung to her body in all the right places, showing of her beautiful figure.

He still couldn’t believe that he saved such an angel from her enemies. Where would she be if he hadn’t saved her on time?

Suddenly, he heard a shrill yell of pain as he was lost in his thoughts.

“ Lora!! ”

She wasn’t in the water anymore. She immediately stood up from the ground dusting herself from the little dirt on her skin.

He rushed to her side.

“ What happened? ”

“ Nothing much, I just fell. ”

Her dress was torn but there weren’t much bleeding.

“ It’s nothing serious, you don’t have to bother about me. ”

She gave him an assuring smile and he let her walk on her own. She never knew there was somewhere in the fortress that was a lot beautiful than the garden.

This one was extraordinarily beautiful, you can call it that. As she played with the butterflies, her hair flew backwards. Her cloth clung to her skin the more.

She picked up one colourful butterfly, and she was talking to it like she was talking to someone. She was in love with nature.

She believes she was getting what she hadn’t got years ago. It’s only two months with the demons and everything seems like a year.

She returned to where he stood, “Its beautiful here, everything looks amazingly great. ”

Her eyes caught at a beautiful tower. ” There, ” She said pointing at it’s direction, “ What’s that tower over there? ”

“ Do you wanna find out? ” He asked.

“ Yes. ” she replied with a nod.

As they kept walking, her weight shifted onto her leg, her knee started to ache. Not wanting to draw his attention, she didn’t say anything.

But Lucas must have known, he put his strong arms behind her knees and back, lifting her with ease.

“ What are you doing? ” She asked embarrassed.

“ Carrying you. ” He stated simply.

“ I know, please put me down, I can walk. ” She said, her face and neck flushing red.

” Lora, if I was to let you walk, we wouldn’t reach the tower even after sunrise. ”

Did he just called my name? I loved the sound of it. She mumbled within herself

As they moved through the woods to the tower, there was no one around and she was thankful for that.

Closer and closer they got to where the tower was built. This particular place was unique above any other place in the fortress.

Her eyes wouldn’t stop from glancing it’s fullness. Don’t blame her, she hasn’t been in a place like this.

Everywhere, everything stood to be ever new to her.

He gently dropped her to her feet. She managed to limp a few distance away from him.

“ This,,, this is so beautiful. ” her smile got to her eyes. “ What’s this place called? ” She asked.

“ It’s the tower of the great kings. ” he answered. “ The great kings always hold a meeting here. ”

“ Wow! ” it came as a whisper. “ Why isn’t anyone here? ”

“ It’s restricted from ordinary Demons. Only those with higher ranks can enter the tower. ”

He looked at her, ” Do you? ”

She shook her head. “ Not at all. ”

He took her again in his arms as they headed back to his secret place.

She had noticed something like a cliff with little water rolling down from it. It wasn’t that much high though but it still resembled one.

Her knee ached again, and a small yell escaped her l-ips. “ Are you alright? ” he asked.

“ I’m fine. ” She said, moving very close to the cliff.

She wanted to know his feelings…

She wanted to prove to herself that she hadn’t made a mistake falling in love with him…

And that her burning desire for him was true…

And if he feels the same for her…

Then he should come catch her…

She smirked, “ Come catch me, Lucas. ” she muttered before letting herself fall freely.

He noticed she was no more with him.

“ Lora!! ”

He ran so fast to the cliff looking down to see her body freely and making it’s way to the dead end of the cliff.

Her blonde hair fell, her arms spread open for his catch. And if he doesn’t get to her, she was ready to die for that.

She shut her eyes close as she slowly got to the ground. A hand held her wa-ist pulling her to still.

She slowly open her eyes staring at the figure. His dark wings spread wide, his ocean blue eyes fixed into those chocolate brown eyes.

For a moment she thought it was a dream. But when his strong arms never left her elegant wa-ist, it wasn’t just a dream.

It was damn reality!!!…

He didn’t stop from staring at her beautiful face, his eyes taking her in. The world seemed to have stood still as everything happened in a slow motion.

And her eyes made no effort to leave his.

They were like this until they were back on the cliff. He didn’t try dropping her, she was in his arms till they got back to the palace.

As they moved through the halls, the maids and servants looked down quickly as soon as they caught sight of them and she was grateful for that.

He stopped for awhile and told a made to bring something to clean up the wounds before walking again.

Upon arrival at her chamber, he laid her gently on her bed as the maid came in with things to clean the wound. He took the kit from her and dismissed her shortly.

Taking a seat beside her on the bed, he lifted her dress above her knees.

“ Uh… It’s fine, I can clean it myself.” she stuttered nervously.

” Just sit still. ” He ordered.

He put one hand at the back of her knee, his hands cold yet his touch hot. She wondered how a tall and strong man could touch so gently.

Strangely, his touch made her yearn for more and she found herself imagining how it would feel if he ran his hands down her legs or if he…

Her thoughts were interrupted by a burning pain.

She hissed…

“It will burn a little.” He said and Continued cleaning her wounds.

She bit her lower l-ips as to hold the great pain she felt. As if he noticed, he leaned towards her leg blowing air to her wound.

When his hot breath touched her skin, it made her shiver and curl her toes.

Good God, he was doing something on her body, and almost doing nothing.

“Feel better?” He asked.

“Yes,” She whispered. ” Thank you.”

After he was done, he pulled her dress down.

“You need to get changed.” He said standing up. ” Do you mind if I call a maid?”

“No, I can manage. ” She said.

Walking with an aching leg, she went to the dressing room flipping into her night dress then returning back to her chamber.

By the time she’d returned, Lucas had left. She felt a little worried.

He could have said a good night before leaving.

Seems like she was the only one who was affected by the early happings.

The room was with few candle lights. She laid down on her bed, her eyes facing the ceiling.

Everything reflecting itself in her mind. Feeling his hand around her wa-ist, his gaze piercing into hers. And everything was like a stand still.

She felt something familiar between them. Like he was having those urge for her, those similar feelings she has for him.

And she wished for one thing, his l-ips against hers and to devour those sweet taste it possess to it’s fullest.

Each second as she thought, she wanted him the more. She wanted him just right beside her. This time, the feeling was pure and real.
