A Dive to Remember

Chapter 10

Elara's pov
I could not get her out of my head, her smile, her sweet voice, her shyness and especially her face, it was as if her face was permanently burned into my brain.
I tried everything from training for as long as physically possible to sparring with my warriors to learning to cook new dishes to catering to the needs of my people, holding a court, everything. But somehow through all of it, I still would subconsciously remember her, I hated the effect she suddenly was having on me, the control she had on me. I constantly felt like seeing her again, as hours went past I found myself getting more and more irritated.
I hate feeling out of control and not knowing why I'm feeling whatever this is, I could not think of any plausible reason or explanation for any part of this mess.

Mentally slapping myself, I forced myself to concentrate on the present, luckily this time I was focusing greatly. I finished with the day's to do list and settled in for the night, switching on Netflix, I started watching my favorite series 'Girl from Nowhere'.
But her face started to come in front of my eyes yet again, and I started to imagine her sweet voice calling my name. What in the world was wrong with me? Why was I behaving like this, why was everything about her captivating to me? She was a normal being.
Sure she was a naga and yes, they were considered extinct, was that the reason why I was so drawn to her? Now knowing that her kind is still existing?
Yes... That might be the case, that might be the reason for me to obsessively think about her.
