Chapter Nineteen// I'm sorry

~Rose~

I let my eyes flutter shut as Alessandra held my face in between her hands. Her hands were cold against my flushed cheeks.

This was perfect. This was what I've dreamed. Alessandra holding me again, Me in her arms. Her being alive again.

My dreams have come true!.. but why does my heart not feel happy. Why is my chest not fluttering like it should. I couldn't feel our made bond anymore.

"I'm sorry" I said. I slowly pull away from her. Alessandra looked disappointed but Just nodded.  Her hands fell down to her sides and she tucked her hands into the pockets of dress.

I couldn't look any longer at the disappointment clear on her face. I looked up at the darkening sky instead, The moon's stars already twinkling down upon us.

The stars seemed to wink at me as I turned to look back at Alessandra once again but she wasn't looking at me like I thought she was. Instead her head was angled down towards the ground, her short red hair falling around her eyes as she rocked on her heels back and forth.

Growls and hissing sounded suddenly around us. Andras and Kaida began fighting again.

I let out a sigh and run a hand through my hair completely messing up the braid in it.

I'm hoping this is just a faze. They wouldn't act like this forever will they? Fighting all thee time. They're children, babies, even, I know. They're siblings and siblings fight but this is starting to get out of hand.

I shook my head running a hand through my hair once again and giving it a firm tug "One day they're going to kill each other"

I kneel down and separated the two so one was on one end of the blanket and the other was on the other end.

I didn't even bother yelling at them instead I began grabbing things and hauling them into my hands.

With my things wedged under my arm pits and in the palms of my hands I turn back around to face Alessandra once more and I felt a big ounce of dread.

"See you tomorrow?" I said a smile on my lips. Awkward.

Alessandra nodded "see you tomorrow Novak" she immediately turned on her heels and walked down the hill into the now darkness.

I watched her until I couldn't see her anymore. Thinking she was gone I turn back around to grab Andras and Kaida but then I heard her voice again. Stopping me in my tracks.

"Maybe you should think about what you want. What you really want, for yourself"
I didn't hear anything else after that.

On my way back to the castle that night my mind was continuously going. I was constantly thinking.

Alessandras words were what got me thinking in the first place.

What do I really want exactly? I didn't know what I wanted but that I wanted to be happy.
I don't want to be depressed anymore, and I don't want to cry any longer.

~Alessandra~

I could barely sleep that night. The bed felt lonely. It was empty instead of being occupied with my lover.. if rose was even my lover anymore, I didn't know. The way she looked at me—was telling me otherwise— yesterday.

I could tell In her eyes she didn't love me anymore. I felt it in my icy-cold heart that our bond was long gone. My father was right, but I was really hoping to prove him wrong. I guess proving him wrong was no longer an option.

Instead of crying, or drowning myself in my own sorrow I buried myself in work. like I always did. A Workaholic doing her best.

I worked until the next morning. My eyes burning and red with irritation from rubbing them. Exhaustion finally hit me around eight am and just when I was about to fall asleep behind my desk...

"It's time to leave" Isabelle's rough morning voice sounded from the doorway.

My head immediately shoot up. I blink my eyes repeatedly before they fully adjusted on her face.

Isabelle's lips were pinched as if she was annoyed and the dark circles under her eyes told me she didn't get much more sleep than I did. 

It registered in my mind that I totally forgot I needed to pack for this "Trip" it was so last minute. Usually I'm notified a week prior of any needed trips out the country.

"I already packed for you" Isabelle said simply before turning around and leaving out of my office. I follow behind her in my own pace.

"Thank you. would you mind telling me what this trip for?" I caught up with Isabelle as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

"Did rose not tell you?" Isabelle asked grumpy. Her shoulder hunched as if she dreaded being anywhere but her own bed. I guess somebody hasn't had their morning coffee yet.

"Obviously fucking not if I'm asking you" I rolled my eyes. Isabelle walked off instead of replying. I didn't follow her.

~Rose~

For the first time in what felt like forever I wasn't awoken by Isabelle. Instead I was awoken by Kaida cradled in my neck. She was so affectionate.

I nuzzle my nose into Kaida's warmth and stretch my arms above my head.

I slowly blinked my eyes open and look towards the farthest corner of the room where Andras slept.

Andras was no where near as affectionate as his sister. He would rather jump off a cliff than ever sleep in the bed with us.

He prefers the cold dusty floor and a small baby blue blanket to keep him warm than my comfortable bed sheets.
His loss. 

I sit up in bed and let out a tired yawn. I could barely sleep last night and when I did It was off and on. I couldn't stop thinking about no one other than Alessandra, and her words.

"𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟"

"Come on babies" I said.
Andras head immediately pops up. Kaida stays asleep on my pillow.

Before I knew it there was a sound at the window. A sound of claws scratching glass and a deep long purr.

Andras and Kaida beat me to the glass window before I could even move. Saphira hovered near the window.

I smiled when I saw her eyes looking at me. I get up and go slide open the window and Kaida an Andras immediately find their way to their mothers arms.

Saphira drowned them in her own way of giving them kisses which was licking their heads wet. She purred affectionately.

"I'll see you soon" I said to Saphira and the babies.

Saphira let her wet snout touch my forehead. I titled my head down and closed my eyes briefly, feeling the love of my dragon.

With my eyes still closed I felt Saphira take off into the sky. Her flapping wings caused a massive wind, leaving my hair and loose t-shirt out of place.
