Erase Me (Book 2)

Different

Mytheras POV:

ZI sat on my bed, everyone was our and
I was thankful for that. Things had been so awkward between us all, not the same.. Not how they use to be. I guess it was getting use to Travis again, it's hard to look at someone you watched die... You know they died-but yet here they are right there. And don't get me wrong, I love him. I can't change that, I will and always will. But I'm not ready, I can't just go back to the way things were. Things were different
now.
I wrapped myself in blankets, not wanting to move. I just wanted to stay in bed all day-some things never change. I pulled the cover over my head, warming myself up slowly. It was cold out, it was winter so what did I expect?
I bit my lip pulling the blanket back over my head and staring up at the roof, I closed my eyes wanting to sleep-but I couldn't.
I spent hours watching the back of my eyelids. When I opened my eyes, I looked towards the window seeing it was dark. So I assumed everyone was back.
I got up, fixing my outfit and walked out of my room. I was right they were back. I looked at them, they were sitting at the table talking.
I walked to the table grabbed a apple out of my basket and walked away, not wanting to talk to any of them. I sat down on the inside of my room, against the door, I closed my eyes and sighed.
Just as I was falling asleep there was a knock at my door, I jumped up, and opened the door.
Travis.
"oh hey.." I smiled.
He looked at before pulling me into a hug, my face was against his chest he was warm. I slowly lifted my arms wrapping them around him squeezing the back of his shirt.
Cold tears ran down my face, whenever I seen him it felt so unreal, I just wanted to sit here for hours, days, years, entirety.
when we finally broke the hug I frowned looking up at him "come sit." I said walking towards my bed.
He shut the door and sat in front of me.
"Mythera listen.." He sighed "I know this is probably hard for you... I mean.. Yeah.. But listen it's me, Travis. I'm here and I'm alive. And I promise to whoever runs this world of ours that, I won't leave your side." He ran his fingers through my hair sending shivers up and down my spine, his touch was always toxic.. Drug like.
"I know Travis.." I mumbled "I just. I can't process this, my brain won't let me..." I frowned "it's so... Unreal..."
He sighed "damnit.." He looked so depressed, "all I want is things to be the same... All I want is this was to stop.." He looked at me "and more than that, all I way is you."
I looked down at my feet, I didn't know what I was suppose to say 'I love you..' I thought but couldn't speak, it's like my vocal cords were in a knot.
He leaned in, kissing my forehead and smiled "have a good sleep... Princess." He stood up and turned away.
I grabbed his hand "stay.." I whispered.
"What?" He asked.
"Damnit I said stay!" I snapped pulling him as hard as I could to the bed. He ended up on top of me, we stared at each other for a moment. 
I smiled and leaned up, pulling him a bit close as doing so. Our lips met and my eyes closed slowly, as I got lost in the lips of my man.
In the morning I woke up and looked towards Travis, instantly noticing something. His skin, was normal.
I smiled a bit and closed my eyes once again, it was strange, I won't lie. But I didn't mind. I didn't care.
I sighed not being able to get back to sleep, I sat up and rubbed my eyes, leaving my room and walking into the main room. 
I saw Alexis at the table and Laurance fast asleep on the couch.
I sat down beside Alexis, leaning my head on her shoulder.
"Morning." She said.
"Morning.." I smiled and got off her shoulder, looking at her "how are you..?"
"Good." She smiled "so, how's things go?"
I smiled a bit "I mean... Good." I sighed "bit different.."
"What did you expect?" She frowned "they can't just go back to normal right away, but I promise you they will soon."
I nodded "I hope everything can just be okay again... I wish.. None of this happened.."
"You coming back?" She asked.
"No! I mean.. I wish the war hadn't happened, I wish it was... Like it was before.."
She sighed and looked at me "Mythera, things change. It's part of life. You need to realise that in the end, it's going to be okay."
I nodded, "alright." I smiled at her.
I traced my finger along the table edge, "I don't know what I'm suppose to do.." I looked at her "how I'm suppose to stop this. I though about killing the King & prince, but that can't be the answer..." I thought "I think it's bigger than a war between Kings..." I mumbled getting lost in thought.
"Mythera?"Alexis asked.
I snapped back into reality "oh-uh-yeah?"
She sighed "nothing."
Laurance and Travis came walking in, making me and Alexis turn to him.
"Travis looked normal." Of course the first think Alexis points out.
He nodded, a smug smile on his face. I looked away, at the table.
"Anyways, what's today's plan?" Laurance asked, directed at me.
"Oh- i don't- I didn't make any..." I l replied with a laugh "I was thinking about taking Zander for a walk... And then... You guys can do whatever.."'i said as I stopped tracing my finger on the table.
"Zander?" Laurance asked.
"Oh.. The dog, his name is Zander."
I said and called his name, Zander game running in.
"Ohhhhhh." He laughed "alright." He looked at Alexis "now what are we gonna do.?" He said stepping towards her.
