“What should we do with her?”

The girl in front of her raised her eyes from the marble floor to her, pleading the young Medarda to save her with her expression.

“She won’t make trouble for us. Strip her from her possessions and send her to the far colonies” the young noxian said with security.

Her mother, with her cape fluttering with her movements, grabbed forcefully the girl’s face “She is a symbol of the old regime” the girl was on the verge of tears “kill her now and only one must die, let her live and you may need to kill thousands” finished the older Medarda.

Mel started to feel even more anxious “We can show the people we are merciful” nearly shouted, with desperation in her voice.

And, in a matter of seconds, the eyes that were pleading her to live before, were now lifeless. In a quick movement, the noxian warlord cut off the girl’s head, in that moment on the floor, flowing the marble’s floor with blood.

Mel couldn’t hear the screams of her name outside the nightmare. Inside the dream, she was shocked, but outside she was trembling and crying like she has never before. She was gripping the sheets with her hands so tight that it was painful.

“A wolf has no mercy” was the last thing that she heard, and the girl’s necklace soaked in blood was the last thing she saw, before she woke up.

She breathed rapidly, her cheeks soaked from her tears. Jayce embraced her intensely, later more carefully when she returned the hug . She gripped him like her life depended on that. She tried to talk, but she was unable to. He kissed her forehead “You don’t need to talk, Mel. I’m with you, I won’t leave you”. That was exactly what she wanted to hear.

She got comfortable in his arms, crying softly, while he caressed her skin to soothe her. He didn’t force her to tell him anything, he knew how difficult it was for her to express her feelings, always with this armour, she always put others before her. But she told him the nightmare, which happened in reality, that haunted her every night.

“Only two people make me explode in uncontrollable emotions” Mel started. They were both lying down in her bed, “One is my mother” Mel’s face in his chest, “She always makes me feel all the negative emotions that exist: sadness, exasperation” Jayce was still caressing her “She always makes me feel like I am not enough, a failure and weak” their fingers intertwined.

“The other person is you, Jayce” She adjusted herself to look him in the eyes “You just make me feel… All the best things in the world, I don’t know how to explain it” she looked away because of the embarrassment, and he just gave her the sweetest smile ever.

She looked him right in the eyes again, gathering all the courage she could “I just know certainly that I love you like I have never loved anyone” he stroked her cheek and kissed her gently “I love you too Mel, more than anyone could think” he whispered, in a way that bewitched her. Now she was the one who kissed him, This time longer and more passionately, but still softly.
