The Dragon Warrior [Completed]

I Love You~Part 2

"What do you mean this is going to be harder than you thought it would be?" Niko said, turning around to face Bree.

"Toxicus Amoris is one of the most powerful spells ever to be brought upon this world. Only the most powerful can properly execute a spell that wields the amount of strength to make an organism feel affection for another." She explains.

Everyone is silent

"If done properly, then the afflicted organism will feel the affection at full force without there being any love in the first place."

"And if not done correctly?" Niko asked

"Well...then it could go one way or the other. If the afflicted person feels hatred for the organism its supposed to feel 'Love' for, then they will experience some side affects. These include slight weakness, blurred or colored vision, and migraines. However, if the afflicted person feels even the slightest bit of 'Love' for the organism, then it will supposedly 'Fall in Love' without knowing why or how it feels this way. Symptoms for that include sudden weightlessness, loss of balance, and an inability to talk."

"This is going to be very interesting." Cameron said, while Niko paces back and forth.

"Wait... how do you even know that?" Marc asks, arms crossed.

In a second, Bree whips out a giant leather book with strange symbols on the sides and cover. She flips it open to a random page and snaps her fingers. Symbols then appear on the page and slowly merge into letters.

"The Amabrę Tönķe!" Cameron squeals, running over to the book.

"Nu- uh no touching." Bree says. A large pink bubble suddenly enshrouds her, blocking Cameron from the book.

"No! No! You can't do this to me! I just want to look at it, pleeeease?" Cameron begs, banging on the barrier

I let out a small laugh and look over to both Marc and Niko. Niko is smiling, yet Marc is serious, staring at the blank wall. Something was wrong. It was usually the other way around.

"Marc, what's wrong?" I ask, touching his arm.

He flinches suddenly, as if he hadn't seen me.

"N- nothing."

"Are you sure?"

He doesn't speak for a moment, looking into my eyes.

"I- I'm just worried."

"Oh...well, you don't have to really worry. We'll fig-"

"No. It's not that." He pauses briefly, looking down at the ground. "I just want you to be safe."

With a small smile, I give him a hug as his body stiffens up.

"It's okay. I'll be fine. Plus, you'll be there to protect me like you always have been, right?"

His face suddenly drops.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."

Wait, was he leaving?

"Marc, are you leaving?"

"No, of course not. I- I just did something before that I really regret."

Before I could finish speaking, he left. Presumably towards the bathroom. Just as I start to walk back to Bree, someone grabs my arm.

"Jennifer."

"Niko?"

"Yes, it's me."

I sighed in relief.
