Sighed. I just slumpy put my arm at the armchair catesh my chin. What have I doing here anyway. I was dress beautifully and my maid are so smiley today.
Hey what are we doing in this hall and were like royalties without people? - I growled at him. Who's suiting in the chair beside me. Beg he doesn't respond. Then the door open and a girl came in carrying something cover by satin. He stood up and take the thing as the girl bowed and left. He look and walk toward me.
What is this?- I asked when he present me the thing.
Why don't you open it? - I do as he say and pull the sheet and it reveal a ring and a shiny ruby necklace.
So what is this?- I asked again with slightly furrow brow.He put the tray on the side taking the ring and my hand.
I. Sorry for every I've done and cause you and for not giving you this ring for a long. This will serve our relationship sealed by the human standard. - he's half way through when I suddenly felt nausea's. My head is aching and push him away to throw up in the sound.
Are you okay? - Naseth rush toward me but I stop him from touching me.
I'm okay I just need a fresh air. - I run outside still feeling sick ..
Happy birthday!!!- I froze and awe speechless look at the people around with other in their original form. They're applauding and the sorrounding is decorated seem they really take an effort. Seeing these I fixed my postue and smile at them. The wolf kid walk to me with a balloon on their mouth. I pick it and stroke their fur. The people lead me to the banquet and a big cake.
Lady Reklanar, we had all prepared this for you for your special day.- they show me the thing a human things a speaker, dance ball and mic accompanied by emergency electric power. A wines and various drinks, beauty products of what I have done the other day the salon things. Just wow.
Wow, guys this is amazing- I was overwhelmed that I forgot everything happens before.
Thank you guys this was sweet of you. I was blessed to be here as your mistress, you'll are awesome. Grateful for always being there for me even I was not that responsible in my job and the fact that I ran away once. For the first time I've experienced my birth is essential and you guys brought me this feeling of warmth. And so I felt guilty for what Ive down so far.- I bow down my head. I was ashamed of myself they praised me but I never really give them attention. A hand held my shoulder when I look who it was Naseth.
That's not true at all. Look at them.. they never smile and do everything of this if you don't do anything for them. Your such a wonderful person who bring positivity in this gloomy place and out smile on our faces, you have done more than enough of your job.- The wolves awoooo... And the other in human form nodded with a smile. I smiled, I love these creatures. however their surprised didn't end there. The party start and we start eating. Everyone was enjoying the party. As I'm drinking beer at the side watching the crowd my eyes kid join Naseth, when our eyes met I look away. Seem like I ruin his romantic plan.
Mistress, Golo and Warlty is looking for you- one of my maids whispered. She pointed to the right and there they is. They smile at me as we walk toward each other.
Hey what are you doing here?- I asked.
It your birthday ofcourse we be here- Golo hug me and greeted me.
How did you know it my birthday?- I wonder because I didn't even know it my birthday till this thing happened.
You've told us once, don't you remember?-; Golo respond quite surprised. Maybe I spill it during our conversation. I look around for someone but no one catches my eye.
Those three didn't come. I never seen them come out a week.- Golo added as if he read what am thinking.
No, it's fine. But im just curious since Itnesse never come visit in these last days. That quite weird right.?- now to think about it even Naseth forbidding me to go there and just tell my friend to come over if they want to hang out.
Nothing weird that old man return afterall- Warlty spoke boringly. Old man? The elder? Maybe they still busy.
I see, that might be is.. anyway let go there and eat- inakay ko namn Ng dalawa sa catering. Matapos Ang lahat pagpasok sa kwarto tumba agad ako. Kapagod.NASETH POV
What do you think. Do she have any problem? - I asked our medicinal elder. After thorough examination he straighten up and nodded.
I don't think she had a problem physically. Her vitals are all normal.- he responded.
Then why did she throw up earlier. - he sighed and look at me then to her.
She may mentally disrupted and emotionally exhausted. Human mind is complex and mang reason may causes her sudden reaction. Do you have idea what she been thinking or problems.- I shook my haead. What shoukd she be thinking to. I ponder possibilities when he speak again.
It will become worse just let you know. Her body was reacting to her mind and if we can't know what her worries is her mind will be completely shut down. - his word taken me aback. I stare at him waiting for him to say he's joking but he nodded.
Can I heal her with blooddrip!- he shook his head with a sad face. Before he left me he posted my shoulder. I sat at the bedside and watches her sleep. It is mg fault isn't it.
The next day, Reknalar and I start our journey to the white continent like she asked me to. I carry her omat my back in my monster form and sometimes I try to apologized at her over and over again and strike conversation about her worries but she doesn't really open about it. She always mess around or give me cold shoulder as usual.
When we reach the continent I watched her play in the snow like a child. Tossing up the snow, jumping, making trace in the ground and shouting and then taking pictures right here and there. Seem she forgot she's in the home of monster. . How really reckless she never learn how many time she been almost in danger .
Hey what are you staring there. Be in human form and take pictures of me will ya.- she slightly knock me on my head. What a unruly girl. She was about to hit me again so I transform and catches her hand. I glare at her yet she just shrug my hand and hand me the camera.
Stop glaring at me and hold taht properly- acted like a mean girl then as I raise the camera she's start smiling and posing like what a cast transition. I become an instant photographer like for real I was shooting in different angles as she instruct me to. But it's fine, I love watching her enjoying herself. Afternoon approaches so I set up the a little dome made of snow blocks. While she went to gather woods for fire.
Ahhhh
Hearing the scream j immediately rush to Reklanar running away from a Mahaha. A thin humanoid monster with blue color. It was laughing as it was chasing her, Reknalar with the woods she been carrying she start throwing it him but tht nit enough to take down the monster.
At the frozen lakes, she skip which make a big chance to the monster. It launched sit long hand to her but bride wthag happened I rush to it grab the arm and this away. Ii jump over him and the I've crack a d hole created as he fell to the water . But since it not a perfect circle the forsen lake start cracking so I transform into wolf I run toward her he grab on me and ride to my back til we reach the safe zone.
Thank you for saving me out there.. wooh that was exciting- she shouted. Now now I wonder what going on her head. How can can she be near collapsing when she look so enjoying herself. I let her do anything she wishes even flirting to others and he seem enjoying her self. Back to the shelter I've build, we ate with silent then went for fishing. When the dark came we stayed inside the shelter. I notice she was shaking so I put my arm on her shoulder. When our eyes met I lean forward for a kiss but she pushes me yet she didn't speak afterwards. I fixed my sitting.
Do you still hate me.? - I asked staring the flame.
No.. but I don't like you either. - I glance at her.
Just what are thinking at this moment?- she continue to store the branch in the fire while intently looking at it.
I was thinking what will I do for my life. Will I continue to play like this?I'm tired and scared of those flame keep burning in my heart. When it finally consume me or be free from it, will I achieve happiness?. I don't know anymore.- the silence wrap the sorrounding, I just look at her. I don't know she was thinking a lot of stuff.
Oh,.. Sorry what am I talking about. Forget it I was just speaking to myself- she added a if she just woken up to realization.
It fine, I also want to know a lot about you. You can speak your thoughts to me if you like. - I need to know what her problem was and so I needed her to open up to me.
Now that you mention it. We never really talk much, we been exhaxing cold treatment all this time. If you don't mind can you tell me how you know I'm your bride and so how you you meet Shinel- I glance at him in his last request. She just smile at me. But why did she want to hear something that can hurt her. Either way I narrate it to her. But she just remain in hd usual ni reaction face.
Your first love huh? How funny to hear that. -
What do you mean- I asked. But she just shrug and let if the stick.
Let sleep- she fixated on the sleeping bag. Hour past and she's completely asleep. His head was unstable so I pull his head fall in my shoulder and to lean in her. At my fuzzy dream I heard her whispered to me something I barely remember. Morning co.es and the fun continous, we build snow man and other stuff and snow balls which we thrown to each other. It was childish but it quite fun in fact I love it. On our journey back I noticed something. She's always screaming in her dream and become more distant to me. Whenever is touch her she startled and name a distance between us. Her eyes also wary. Though I asked she won't speak I'm about it. I just held my heard this is supposed a way to get closer to her but why she become more distant to me. .
