Oblivion

Chapter 18

{Ryan's room ^^}

Val's POV

I woke up a little late today as I was extremely comfortable while sleeping. When I was fully awake I noticed that it wasn't my room. My eyes widened slightly and then I gradually relaxed as the incidents of the other night came back upon me. I smiled to myself, I was in Ryan's room.

Until now I didn't noticed how big this room was. It was probably the biggest room in the entire castle and it was breathtaking. It had huge windows with beautiful curtains flowing down. The floor was shiny and painted beautiful mosaic. A mirror was placed at the right end of the room which reflected the sun rays falling upon it, illuminating the whole room in a gorgeous golden color. It was the most amazing sight I had ever seen.

I was brought out of my trance by a smooth voice "I see you, like my room." I was startled by his sudden interference but i quickly composed myself. When I turned my whole attention to him, I noticed that he just had a white fluffy towel around his waist and his hair were dripping wet. I couldn't help but admire his perfectly sculptured body. "Like what you see." He said with a smirk on his face. I quickly averted my eyes from him and said "No! I wasn't staring at you."    "Who said that you were staring at me." He asked cockily which caused me to blush on my own foolishness.

He noticed my uneasiness and changed the topic by asking "How's your feet now?"      "Better then before." I answered truthfully. He nodded and went into the closet to get ready. When he came out he said "Ask Raven to shift your stuffs in my room today itself. I don't want to take any further risk with your life." I nodded and said "Okay."  "Hm, I think you should get read---" he couldn't finish his sentence as we were interrupted by the room's door being opened and someone's head peeped in, well to be specific it was Keil. "Oops, did I interrupted something important." He asked playfully, and in return he got a glare from Ryan. I smiled at the best friends and said "No Keil you didn't." and with that I left them to get ready.

After I was done I went to have my breakfast. Ryan and Keil were there with their usual glasses of blood in their hands. Now, however I am used to, with them drinking blood unless they don't drink from me, then I would not be so comfortable. "Um, Ryan told me what happened last night." Keil said breaking the silence and I nodded while pursing my lips together. I don't want to recall my near death experience of last night. "Can you tell us how they looked. It would help us in finding out who they are." Keil asked hopefully. I reluctantly nodded my head and told them about those creatures.

When I was finished they looked at each other and Ryan said furrowing his brows together "We haven't seen such creatures."    " No, we haven't. But I know someone who can help us in finding out who they are." Keil replied. "Who?" Me and Ryan said at the same time. "Laura the queen of witches. I have a doubt that she has something to do with all these incidents happening. Because without magic no one can take Valerie to the forest while she was sleeping." Keil actually had a point because there was sever security at the castle. No one can enter or leave without permission. "You are right Keil. We have to go and visit this queen." Ryan said seriously.

It was afternoon right now and Ryan and Keil were busy preparing for their visit to the witch. "When will you guys return?" I asked. "Not sure but it will take some time. Its not easy to enter the witch's kingdom." Keil replied. "Can I....... Can I also come with you?" I said and bit my lower lip nervously. "NO!" Ryan exclaimed sternly. "But why I-I.......... You told me you won't leave me alone. So, take me with you. I won't feel safe here without you." The words left my mouth before I can stop myself from saying that. Ryan was looking at me intently and said "So, you feel safe with me."    "Yeah... I mean no. I-I just want to come with you." I said while blushing red. "Its okay Ryan take her with us. She will be more safe with us then here in the castle anyway." Keil said and I looked at Ryan with hopeful eyes. He sighed and said "Okay, you can come." I squealed like a kid and hugged him.

I came out of my little world when Keil cleared his throat uneasily and said "Well, you have to stop your public display of affection as I would also be accompanying you two love birds." I blushed again and Ryan just shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay guys ready to go to the witch's kingdom?" Keil asked dramatically making me laugh and I nodded signalling that I was ready.............
