part 34 carry me like a princess

As I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Refyus sitting beside me, a worried expression on his face. He smiled when he saw me looking at him.

Refyus:You're alright?

he said softly, his voice filled with emotion.
I tried to sit up, eager to know what had happened and where everyone was, but Refyus gently pushed me back down.

Refyus: No, don't move. You're not fully recovered yet,

his eyes filled with concern as I lay on the soft grass.I felt a pang of awkwardness as Refyus continued to look at me intently, almost as if he was seeing me for the first time.

Rose:Why are you looking at me like that?

I asked, feeling self-conscious under his intense gaze.

Refyus: Like what?

he replied, a hint of sadness in his voice.

Rose:Like you're seeing me for the first time, or maybe the last,

I said, a tinge of uncertainty in my words. Refyus silenced me by placing a finger on my lips.

Refyus: Don't say a word. You have no idea how I feel right now.

He then took my hands in his, his grip tight and desperate.

Refyus: Don't ever do that to me. I can't bear to lose you, Rose. I've already lost my mother. Please, don't do that again.

Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke, and I felt my heart constrict with guilt. I never meant to worry him, but I had been so ill suddenly that there was nothing I could do. Refyus had been by my side through it all, and now seeing him so vulnerable tore at my heart.

"I'm sorry, Refyus,"
I whispered, reaching out to him. I knew how it felt to lose someone you loved, and I didn't want him to go through that pain again. As I tried to comfort him, he suddenly pulled me into a tight hug, catching me off guard.

"Refyus," I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper. He clung to me, his body shaking with suppressed sobs.

"Don't leave me." he pleaded, his voice breaking. I hugged him back, feeling the weight of his fear and sorrow pressing against me.

Rose: I won't, I promised.

holding him close. In that moment, I realized how much he meant to me, how much he had done for me without asking for anything in return.

As we sat there on the grass, wrapped in each other's arms, I felt a newfound sense of gratitude and affection for Refyus. He was more than just a friend; he was a kindred spirit, a soul that understood mine in ways I couldn't explain.

"AHUM..."

A voice reached to my ear and when I turned around to see big brother and Blezi was looking at as, from the bushes.
'Oh my god'

As we saw them, we quickly break the hug and distanced our bodies from each other.
Feeling embarrassed I turned my face to other side trying not to look at him or them.

Blezi: Wow. You look much better now. How are you feeling Rose?

As she ran to me. Her words was more like a tease then concern.

Blezi: I am fine.

She smiled and whisper to my ear. "I saw what you guys were doing." This sudden attack of words make my heart pound and I blushed really hard.
'why is she so naive.' I was trying hard not act, how I feel.

Rebass: So...... When we are done here. Let's go then.

Blezi: awa......why so soon? Look at the view... it's so beautiful. The water fall, the flowers. Why don't we stay a bit longer?

Rebass: we have already west half of the day here. I think it was enough for you to enjoy. And the purpose of coming here was to heal Rose. So.....when she have done her recovering. I think it'll be the best to head back.

Refyus: Brother is right. We should go.

Refyus finally spoke without looking at any of them he quickly changed himself into dragon again as he is ready to fly.

Blezi:Oh okay. Well then......

Blezi looked at me as I ignore her teasing smile. 'what is she thinking to do now?'

Blezi: Rose...

"Yes" as she called my name. I replied with my slow voice. Not trying to make eye contact.

Blezi: If you are fine now then...... I don't think you need a support anymore, to sit.
So why don't you go With Refyus. And fly with him.? And I will come with Rebass. Isn't that a good idea? Right Rebass?

Rebass: Whatever. Just hurry up.

Brother also transform himself into dragon and Blezi looked at me with her questionable eyes.

Rose: Well.....

Blezi: Oh why you are so shocked. Is that your first time, flying with him?

Rose: oh.....no

Blezi: then just go. Don't worry. I know you can do it.

She winked at me before climbing on brother's back. And now I had no option then to accept the fact, that I have to fly with Refyus.

Hopeless, I looked at him. As our eyes meet, he kneel down to give me a easy way to his back. I hesitate for a moment before climbing into his back. And then after his big brother, he followed him in the sky. He was gentle all the time.
I was holding him tight. I know I can trust him with heights, but even though he was fine with me I can't shake of the fear, that I am flying in the sky. I know that this isn't my first time I am flying with them, but this is also the fact that I don't even remember when the last time we had this kind of sky, journey.
It's been so long since I have this kind of ride. And not going to lie I am scared. Very scared. I hope it doesn't take long to reach to home. This is not a fun thing.
