Whispers Of Love: No Boundaries

Chapter Eight

(Becky's POV)

I wake up with a start.

I really thought the nightmares would've stopped by now.

I turn and see Vidia is gone.

I really thought she would've stayed long enough to tell me goodbye before she and I both left for work.

What if she's left me for good?

What if she found someone better than me to love and marry?

What if she's dead?

What if she died of disbelief?

What if I caused her death in my sleep?

My breathing starts to get ragged and I clutch my chest. Oh, no. Not another one. I haven't had one since before Vidia proposed to me.

Before my parents kicked me out.

"Sweetie! Baby, what's wrong?"

Vidia. She's kneeling in front of me and she takes my hands in her own, dropping something on the floor.

"You... you were... you were dead. I killed you. I said what no one should ever say about one of us."

"Oh, honey. I'm here. I'm right here, and I promise you, I'm not going anywhere. Not if I have any say in it. Baby, we need to get your breathing back under control. Deep breaths, hon. Deep...breaths."

Soon, I get my breathing back under control.

"But what if my parents find out and they say it? It could kill someone!"

"I know, hon. I know. But we've got Prilla to blink over to the mainland and help the hypothetical dying fairy."

"That's true."

"So, don't worry about it. She's the best Mainland-Visiting, Clapping-Talent fairy we've got."

"She's also the only one we've got."

"For now. I'm sure someone else will come along and be a member of her talent guild."

"Are you sure?"

"As sure as I'm in love with you forever. Can I kiss you?"

I nod and Vidia kisses me. That turns into a full make-out session until someone knocks on our door.

"You girls do realize we can see you, right?"

"Sil!"

"Sorry!"

"What are you guys doing here? Becky and I have to leave for work soon."

"We just...we just wanted to get to you before someone else did." Tink says.

"Tink, what are you talking about?" I ask.

"Becky...we don't know how. But your parents are here. As fairies." Iridessa says.

"What? This can't be... this can't be..." The world suddenly goes black.

(Vidia's POV)

Thank the second star I caught Becky, or she would've hit her head.

"We'll go get a healing talent fairy, just in case."

"Good idea. I'll stay here until she wakes up. And whatever you do, do not let Becky's former parents see you or us."

"Got it. We'll be back."

They soon return with the healing talent fairy, Cynthia.

"What happened here?"
