(Zane x reader) The Divine Chronicles Book 1: Change

Chapter 15: Dreams

I woke up in Zane's room. I exhaled a sigh of relief, it was all a dream, everything was just a dream. Zane walked in "finally you're up," he said "what time is it?"

"It's late morning I figure I would let you sleep"

"Thanks," I bleary looked around the room, letting my eyes adjust.
"Did I miss breakfast?" I asked as my stomach chimed in with a growl
"I'm afraid so, but I can have Hanna bring you something" I nodded my head. "So how's did you sleep?" Zane asked as he shuffled through the stack of papers on his. "Well, I slept well but I had the strangest dream" I explained as I got up from the bed. "What was it about?"

"We'll everyone, you, me, Garroth, there were a bunch of people who I didn't know though it was strange an awful at the same time"

"How so?"

"We'll for one you hated me..." Zane's eyebrows shot up "impossible"

"What?" I was confused, what did he mean 'impossible'?
"that was most certainly a dream there is no way I could hate you, I mean don't get me wrong I hate alot of people but you could never be one of them, you're one of the only people I trust" I loved it when he did that when he would let his walls down just for me. I was truly the only person he trusted enough to let see his soft side. I smiled as I hugged him he mumbled in protest as he squirmed I'm my grip. I let out a short laugh "Zane you don't have to act like you don't like my hugs, there is nobody around" he narrowed his eyes at me "I don't like hugs" he said. I rolled my eyes at him. "You're ridiculous" he let out an annoyed huff before he went back to searching the papers on his desk. "What's that?"
"Just some stuff for work," I nodded my head "so are you going to be busy with work or are we going to be doing somthing today?" I asked "Well I figured we would spend the day in the library. I found a new theroy that I thought you might be interested in, I thought we could research it."

"That's sounds like a fantastic idea, what's the new theroy?"

"I'll give it to you once you're done with breakfast" he said as Hanna walked in with a try in her hand. "Thank you Hanna" I said as the maid set the try on the side of the desk that wasn't cluttered with Zane's papers. She smiled and with a curtsy she left.

After I had finished breakfast Hanna had come back into get me dressed and ready for the day after wich I was to meet Zane in the library. I was standing in front of the mirror admiring the lovely deep crimson dress Hanna had picked out for me to wear. "You look absolutely beautiful" she said. "Thank you" I replied as I felt my cheeks heat up in an obvious blush. "You should be on your way to the library now." She said. I nodded my agreement as I left the room.

I entered the library seeing Zane standing in front of the grand fireplace examining a book. He looked up as I neared him and he greeted with me a smile. He wasn't wearing his scarf wich I enjoyed. He didn't usually wear it around me and I liked that. "You look lovely" he said I felt my cheeks heat up again as I smiled sheepishly, Zane want usually one to offer compliments.

He set down the book he was reading and he held other his arms to me, I was confused, was he asking for a hug? Just hours before he was complaining to me about hating hugs. Surly this couldn't be the same Zane. I stepped closer to him and then the scene in front of me shattered like glass breaking into a thousand pieces, the cheery amber light from the library fading into nothingness.

Zane reappeared infront of me only it wasn't the Zane from moment before this Zane was looking at me with eyes filled with hatred and pain. It crushed me knowing I was the cause and source of that pain and hatred. He laughed at me, mocking me were I lay crumpled on the ground. "No! I'm sorry!" I screamed fighting back tears "please!-" I screamed as I jolted up from the bed, panting and sweaty.

"Y/n!" Laurence called my name from the chair that was placed next to my bed. "Are you ok?" And incredible aching pain was searing through my skull. "How long was I out?" I asked as I rubbed my head. About two days" Laurence said. "TWO DAYS?!" I quickly tried to get out of bed but Laurence stopped me placing a hand in my shoulder "woah, hold on you've been out for days you can't just leave; you hit your head pretty helard, we've all been worried about you, Garroth hasn't left your side except to go on duty."
"It's thay were he is now?" Laurence nodded his head. I furrowed my brows as the pain in my head grew. "Here drink this," he said handing me a cup. "What is it?" I questioned before taking a sip. "It's tea, it's supposed to help with the headachec." I took a sip of the drink and quickly downed the whole glass. "Thank you" I said. "You should lay down and rest"
"Laurence I've been resting for two days" he let out a sigh "I know that, but that doesn't mean you're well. You need to take it easy and relax" my mind wandered to the fight with Zane in the square. "DANTE! we're is he? is he ok?! What about you and Garroth? We're is everyone-"
"Relax, everyone is fine Garroth just had a few minor cuts and bruises. My leg Hurst like hell but it'll be fine and Dante has a minor concussion but he's resting upstairs."
"Is he asleep? Or can I go see him?"

"Last I checked he was awake but-" I didn't give him time to finish before I was wrestling the blanket off and heading towards the stairs. Laurence sighed in defeat as he hunched back in his chair. I climbed the stairs and sure enough off on the far wall was Dante in a bed. He offered a smile as greeting when he saw me and I returned it as I took a seat next to his bed. "Are you ok?" I asked. He nodded his head. "Yes thank you for worrying but you should be resting yourself, you took a pretty nasty blow to your head there" I winced as a sharp pain shot through my skull. "I'm fine I wanted to check on you and make sure you were ok, Laurence said you have a concussion."
"It's a minor concussion so I'll live"

"I'm really sorry about all this"

"It's fine, it's not your fault" he said. I gave him a confused look "he wasn't here because of you, he wanted somthing from lady aphmau. You could tell by his reaction to seeing you that he was quite shocked, so don't blame yourself" I bobbed my head "ok but I still wish there was somthing I could do,"
"Y/n, I'm fine, don't worry yourself with things that aren't important, just get yourself some rest."
"Ok but I'm staying right here" I said as I climbed into the bed next to Dante's. "I'm not leaving you up here all alone" Dante chuckled "thanks"

I stared at the celing for awhile. Dante had fallen asleep, I could tell by his light snoring. I know he had said it wasn't my fault but I couldn't help blaming myself for the whole situation. Zane might not have been here for me but I'm the reason he is the way he is and I was determined to fix things, no matter how tuff things got I was going to bring my Zane back.
