My Demons

Chapter 6: A Knight's Dance

Ray woke up quickly and got dressed. He didn't know when the dance was but he was excited. As he was getting ready, there was a knock on the door. Ray opened it and was greeted to Sabrina.
"What are you doing here?" Ray asked her.
"General Anna wanted me to take you to get some clothes for the dance." Sabrina responded.
"Where are we going?" Ray asked.
"The dressing room down stairs." Sabrina responded. 
They both began to head down stairs and then went into the dressing room. 
Ray saw his shiny tuxedo and he was excited to try it on. He then realized Sabrina was watching him.
"Uh, can you excuse me?" Ray asked her with an awkward smile. 
"Sure, but its noting I haven't seen before." Sabrina responded and walked out.
"Wait what?" He asked her.
She was already gone when he asked. Ray was very confused but got dressed anyways. When he was done, he found Anna. Anna stared out him and analysed his body.
"You look nice, I'm glad I chose the right one." Anna said finally.
Ray felt a little awkward but continued the conversation. 
"Thanks I guess." Ray said with another awkward smile.
Ray looked at Anna, she was in her silver dress again. He then looked at her face which was blushing while looking at him. 
"Are you okay Anna?" Ray asked her.
Anna snapped out of her trance and shook her in embarrassment. 
"Yeah I'm fine." She responded.
"Alright uh, I'll see you at the dance." Ray said and walked away.
Ray thought that Anna was thinking of something sexual, he didn't want to figure it out if it was true.
Without looking, he bumped into Sabrina. She fell to the ground and he felt like an idiot. 
"I'm sorry Sabrina." Ray apologized and held out his hand toward her. 
She grabbed it and he pulled her up. 
"It's fine." Sabrina said. 
"I wanted to ask when is the dance?" Ray asked her. 
"It will happen when it's sun set." Sabrina responded. 
Ray's eyes widened in shock.
"What!" He yelled.
He ran toward the window and looked outside. The sun was only half way across the sky.
Anna walked in and wondered what all of the fuss was about.
"What the hell is with all the yelling?" Anna asked them both. 
"Can you knock me out for a few hours?" Ray asked Anna.
Anna looked confused on his question.
"Why?" She asked.
"I don't want to wait for the dance for so long." Ray responded.
Anna walked up to him and smiled.
"You sure?" Anna asked while smirking.
"Just do it." Ray commanded while closing his eyes.
"Alright." Anna said and then his the top of his with a strong amount of force.
Ray then blacked out and fell to the floor.

A few hours later...
Ray woke up and looked around his room. He saw Sabrina beside him nice again.
"Were you waiting for to wake up?" Ray asked her.
"Anna demanded I should." Sabrina responded.
"I'm sorry." Ray apologized.
"For what?" Sabrina asked in a confused face.
"For making you wait for me." Ray responded.
Sabrina then just smiled at him.
"It's fine, I don't mind it." Sabrina said."It's time to go anyways." 
Ray then jumped out of bed excited as ever. 
"Lets go." Ray cheered.
Sabrina smiled and began leading him to the dance. They finally entered the large dining room where everyone was at. Ray saw a few of the trainees that passed and also saw Anna. People were playing instruments on a stage. It was a nice atmosphere to be in. People were dancing and having fun. He saw Anna alone and felt like she deserved one. He walked up to Anna and held out his hand. Anna noticed and gave a slight smile.
"Shall we?" Ray asked her.
She took his hand and they both began to dance. 
"Why do you want to dance with me?" She asked while smirking at him.
"Even though I hate you for stabbing in the stomach and nearly killing me, I can't thank you enough for training me." Ray responded.
She chuckled a little at him.
"There is a way you could repay me." Anna mentioned.
"What could that be?" Ray asked.
"You could.." Anna said before being interrupted by a knight.
"General Anna." The Knight called out behind her.
She turned toward him and gave him an evil look.
"What is it Alex?" Anna asked annoyed. 
"The King needs to see you." He responded. 
Anna nodded and turned back to Ray. 
"I have to go, but I'll be back." Anna said. 
Ray nodded and Anna left with Alex. Ray then went to where all the drinks were and drunk a few cups. Someone then walked behind Ray and pulled on his shoulder. Ray turned around and saw Sabrina.
"What brings you by?" Ray asked her. 
"You're the only one I know here." Sabrina responded.
"I thought you knew everyone." Ray said.
"You and Anna are the only ones I truly know." Sabrina said.
Ray looked around and felt a little bored. He then looked a Sabrina for a moment. Sabrina noticed and looked confused at him.
"What is it?" She asked him.
"Want to dance with me?" Ray asked her.
Sabrina looked a little surprised and shy.
"I don't know how to." She responded.
Ray smiled and held out his hand.
"I'll teach you." Ray said.
She took it and Ray began teaching her.
As they were dancing, Ray noticed Sabrina was acting a little odd.
"Are you doing alright." Ray asked her.
"Yeah I'm fine." Sabrina responded.
After awhile, they stopped and looked at each other.
"I know you're probably gonna slap me but, you honestly look cute in that dress." Ray mention.
Sabrina gave him a smile and laughed a little.
"Thank you." Sabrina said while smiling.
Ray looked a little shocked but smiled back. 
"Ray." A woman called out. 
Ray turned to the voice's direction and saw Anna. She then grabbed his hand quickly.
"I want to show you something." Anna said.
Ray then looked a Sabrina for a moment.
"I have to go." Ray said to her.
She nodded and smiled at him. Anna then lead him outside and walked down a trail. Ray was curious on what she wanted to show him, but didn't ask what it could be. 
They eventually went to a small circular puddle. 
"Touch it." Anna commanded. 
"Why?" Ray asked confused.
"Just touch it with two finger." Anna said.
Ray crouched down and tapped  the puddle with two fingers. They both waited for a minute and a blue orb floated out of it and kept going up to the night sky. 
"What is that?" Ray asked.
"It's a spirit orb." Anna responded. "It's not a spirit though, we call it that because of it's color." 
"It looks amazing." Ray said.
Anna looked at Ray and blushed a little. Ray noticed it and smiled a little.
"Thanks for bringing me out here." Ray said.
Anna then walked up to him a with a smile on her face.
Ray looked confused at her and wondered what she wanted. Without any warning Anna began kissing him. Ray eyes widened in shock, he didn't know how to respond to it. 
When she stopped, she was still smiling.
"Think about it." She said and walked back to the castle. 
He didn't know what to say or express after that. This was the best experience he's ever had.
