Her Knight In Armor

Part 4. Voice

A few days later, Dream and Salem were on a walk around the castle grounds. There was a flower field she enjoyed walking around. Dream was following looking at the flowers and looking at their beauty picking a few up to give to Salem. He grabs an array of colours being: red blue and yellow.

Something about him intrigued to Salem. It cant of been his eyes or the way he speaks cause he showed neither his face or spoke. She found him very interesting. He showed he cared, he gave her flowers when walking through the flower gardens the flowers being her favourite colours after he wrote down the question "what's your favourite flowers?". Salem was becoming quite flustered to these simple acts of kindness.

A thing about dream was he wasn't comfortable with talking so most of the times she was sad he wrote down little notes like. No sad, happy with a small heart and smiley face. After her family approved of dream he was close with them and talked to them and reported Salem's day to Philza everyday. Philza Techno and Wilbur were and still are the only people who know what dream talks like otherwise he's writing of nodding along.

Everyone accepted dream even Tommy. Tommy came up with several nick names: Big D. Dré. many more. Dream was fitting in well, the sleepy boi inc family they were all accepting him.

Dream wasn't talking to Salem, He would talk to everyone but her. Salem went to her father for help. She sent dream to do what he wanted as she wasn't going anywhere today. She knocked on her father's office door. "come in." Salem walked in the room with a concerning look on her face. "Salem what's up." Salem walked over to Philza and just hugged him. "Its Dream dad, I feel like he doesn't like me. He talks to everyone but me." Philza hugged her back squeezing her reassuring her its not like that.

"He's just nervous and insecure." Salem sighed. "But it's not father he's fine with everyone but me."

The more Salem got paranoid, the more concerned Phil got. Salem was sitting in the garden on her own before dream came to see where she was. She was in the flower garden on a bench that her and her mother sat on when she wanted to read. Today was a day she needed to herself. The 5th of July, the day she visited her mother. Today was the day she wanted to be on her own. Salem was peacefully reading in the flower gardens. She heard a small foot steps but she ignored it and was to invested in her book to notice it was late at night. Philza had sent Dream out to find Salem.

"Salem?" Salem replied still looking in her book to notice who it was. "Yes." "Philza wants you in for dinner." Dream realised how distant she had come and was told to do this he didn't wanna scare her by walking over there and giving her a nice note like normal. Salem thought a new maid had been hired and thought it was that. "Salem?" "Tell him I'm busy and not hungry." Salem wasn't interested in food right then she wanted to finish her book. "Salem you haven't eaten all day, I know that, I've been with you all day."

Then Salem looked up to see who is was. "Dream?" Salem took notice of who it was realising he spoke to her. "Your looking at me like ive come back from the dead." Dream was concerned of what he did wrong but Salem reassured him she was just startled. "You spoke. Why?" Dream thought about this. He didn't really know why he did. "I felt more confident, I thought it was time." Salem's face finally relaxed as she walked into the castle to and eat.

It was early in the morning on the 6th. Salem was leaving through the vines climbing down slowly until she saw a figure who looked like they were going to the guard tower. Only one guard stayed up this late. Dream.

Dream was sat under her window like he knew she did this. "Dream?" Salem whispered. "What Salem, I know what your doing but where are you going?" Dream was furious. He wanted Salem to be safe not sneaking out at 1-2 am in the morning. "I was going to visit some- some-some-something." Salem was nervous. She was nervous he was going to snitch. Tell her father and never be aloud out again.

Salem wanted to visit her mum. She wasn't aloud out of the walls so she did it at night. "Salem Who or What are you going to see?" Salem was nervous to hear this tone in dream. Not because she was scared, because she hadn't heard it. It scared Salem to hesr him like this. He's normally peaceful "I'm going to visit something important to me, then ill sit there and read for about an hour then come home like every 5th" Salem started to finish climbing down and through the gap in the wall. "Salem if you go I have to, I promised your father I would care for you."

"Dream no, this is my time to talk about everything to the one person who loved me through everything the person who passed because she wanted another mini me." Dream lowered his head and said "If you told me it was your mother, I would let you go." Salem just walked out of his way ignoring him and left.

When Salem go to her mothers grave she sat there and expressed her emotions out. Including the ones she felt towards Dream. She told her mother about her book.

Little did Salem know Dream was there listening to everything. Her feelings being the same as his. He wanted to protect and love her.

She is what he wanted.
