In The Spotlight (MikuXLen)

7. nightmare

Len was walking in the castle, for some reason no one noticed him! Not even when he asked them something! Was he invisible or something? It was light as ever, but that changed fast. Als he walked further in the castle he saw that everything starting to changing. The place started to get darker and darker. suddenly he was pinned to a wall (if there was any wall then, maybe it was some barrier or something), everthing was dark now. He couldn't see anything.

'Hey there cutie...' A voice said, a voice so familier. He swear he had heard it before! A cold breath tickled at his left ear, causing him to jump. He tried pulling away, but he had no change. He felt really weak and sick. How he wished to escape the person who was holding him! Fear started to rise in his head. He didn't know how to escape this situation... He had been in this kind of situation before, but this was harder then the ones he got before...

'L-let me go!' Len stuttert,  struggeling againt the hands who were holding him tightly. One hand was letting go, Len saw his change to escape, but couldn't move. What was wrong with him? Had the sickness token so much of his body over, that he hadn't any control? A hand was pinching his cheek, like he was a cute child of 4. he froze. 'What's wrong? After I treat all your wounds, shouldn't you pay me back?' the voice said. Treat all his wounds? No way! That voice couldn't be her! She would NEVER do this! right?

Suddenly he felt that the hands were gone, just dissapeard in nothing, and a back of a man was faced to him. The voice was gone and Len could see a bit clearly, just a little bit. 'Don't expect me that I was saving you! I only need you, not harmed to get what I want. Maybe I could do some payback to you, but I'm not in the mood...' this was a new voice, a manly voice he could say. He was guessing on 20. He instantly knew that this man, whoever he was, had no good intenstions...'W-what do you mean "payback", did I do something wrong?' Len asked scared, looking at the man. Trying to get every detail. But his back was turned to him, so he couldn't see anything in detail. suddenly the man burst out yelling: 'DON'T YOU ASK ME WHATS WRONG! STEALING MY DEAR MI-' the man was suddenly in front him, chocking him. A mask was shown on his face, a blue mask, with two graceful teal feathers at the right side. Two seablue eyes were shown, but that was the only thing that he could see... He felt his body go limp at the lack of  oxygen. soon he heard...

He heard sobbing...

The man was suddenly gone, he gasped for air. Holding on it, scared to lose it again. He was wondering: who had he "stole"? It started with a mi- . The sobbing was starting to get louder and louder. And suddenly he  felt the "ground" under him break open and he fell...

Miku looked at the boy on the bed. His chest was raising and falling really slowly, showing that he was still alive. His skin almost as pale as when she first saw him. It was a bad sign... It was her fault! She should have let herself panick and search for him! Now he moved too much and he hadn't took his medicine! She started sobbing with Rilliane, she was also scared, of course she was, he was her twinbrother after all! Aria was with them in the room, looking weirdly at Len. A wrong weird. But Miku ignored it, she was busy worrying about Len. Then she heard something:

'L-let me go...'

It was Len, she shot up beside Rilliane and looked at his sleeping face. He had a scared expression on. Was he having a nightmare? What was his nightmare about? Were nightmares involved with his sickness? She felt uncomfortable, what if he was traumatized at something? She grabbed his hand a was sqeezing it a bit. She felt his cold hand warming up at her touch. It relieved her, she closed her eyes, praying that he woke up soon.

And her wish was granted, like the godness of luck was with her.

She felt movement. Hopeful she looking at Len. Just when she was giving up her hope the eyes of Len opend slowly, showing two beautiful sky blue eyes. They were showing nothing but fear. Miku froze, there was something wrong with Len, she just felt it...

'Len!' she heard Rilliane scream beside her, she was jumping to him to give him a hug. Like a child who finally found her favourite doll again. A worried smile plasterd on her face. 'No, miss Rilliane. Len is still sick, I don't think you can hug him after such an virusattack' a voice stopped Rilliane, it was Aria. Miku noticed that Len stiffend by the voice of Aria and he ducked under his blanket. Had Aria something to do with this? Rin pulled the blanket of him and cried: 'Len! How dare you forget to take your medicine?! And how dare you give me a double-heartattack!' Len didn't reply, he just looked at Aria, with great fear in his eyes. He was shaking! Had Aria done something with him?

'Aria, you may leave.' Miku said dryly. 'I'm gonna take care of Len for the coming days, you may have free. But stay away from Len' Aria looked shoked and starled. 'But-'

'DON'T YOU "BUT" ME!!!' Miku screamed at the top of her longs. Aria backed away scared and leaved without a word. Rilliane looked confused at Miku, why was she sending Aria away? She felt that Len was less stressed and started to relax a bit when Aria left the room. Was Aria the culprit or something?

'So Len, tell where your nightmare was about.' Miku asked, leaning forward to hear he story. Playing with her hair. Rilliane stood besides her, showing curiousty in her eyes. 'But first...'Miku said, she turned with anger in her eyes to the door and yelled: 'ARIA! IF I HEAR YOU EAVESDROPPING EVER AGIAN, YOU HEAD WILL BE THE NEW DECORATION IN MY ROOM!' Then everyone went silent, they heard light footsteps running in fear and some panting.

'Were was I? Oh yeah! What was your dream about?' Miku asked again, looking intensly at his skye blue eyes. Len started doubting if he should tell them, the memory was starting to get blurry too. It was just a simple nightmare right? He sighed, he was softly hitting his head, trying to remember anything that he could, he had a strong feeling that that dream was telling him something. But his brain was saying that it was noncence. 'Uh... I...'He started nervous. Two pair of eyes were staring at him intensly. It worked only more nervousness on him. '...Don't remember that clearly anymore...' His voice trailing off by "that clearly anymore". 'Had it something to do with Aria.' Miku asked straight to the point. Len stiffend, he remembered her voice the best from all. It was the second most scary from all, after the man chocking him to dead.

'I take that as a "yes" ' Miku sighed, she saw that Len wouldn't want to tell them what was happing in his dream, she couldn't force him though, it felt like that was the wrong way to do... 'Tell us, Len!' Rilliane started to scream, making Len cover his ear to protect his ears. So Rilliane was the type who would force people in doing what she wanted. Day by day Muki started to feel more afraid of her. Maybe thats why the people in her town didn't even try a move on her... 'Rin, Miku, I just don't feel so well right now. Can we talk about it later?' Len asked, a bit dry in his throat. First Miku wanted to say "No" but not a sound was coming from her mouth. The voice of Len was sounding in his head, putting a curse called "Love" on her. Wait! She found him nice, handsome and cute, but she wasn't in love right?!

But he was so adorable!

A blush was starting to form on her face. With al her might she tried to calm herself down. Which... unfortunatly failed. 'Can I know how long I was out?' Len asked again. Rubbing his left eye. Miku's heart just melted at his sight and her heart exploded when he yawned. Again she turned, trying to cool her cheeks, this time it succeeded. 'two days...' Rilliane answered hugging the tired boy. Miku opend her mouth, wanting to say something, but she got interrupted:

'Your majesty, Lord Kaito is here for a visit.'
