2 months later I slowly open my eyes and roll over. It's still dark outside, but my heads still spinning from the nightmare I had. I pull the blankets up to my shoulder and shiver. As the memory of his cold hands wrapping around my throat invades my mind. A whimper escapes my lips and my heart starts pounding out of my chest. I throw the covers off and put on my slippers. I grab my shall, and walk into the hallway. I walk down the long hallway till I reach a door that was slightly ajar. I push it open a little to see Ezra sleeping peacefully. I go to walk away when a floorboard creaks. He sits straight up and looks around I can see his eyes zero in on the open door, and soon I hear him walking over to the door, and I just stand there. The door swings open, and to my great surprise he doesn't look angry. " angel what are you doing out here?" He asks pulling me into his arms " I had a nightmare so I thought I was going to go read but I got lost." I say feeling so embarrassed. He shakes his head before leading me into his room. I look around the dimly lit space. There is a king size bed in the center of the room. Then on one side of the room there are two bookcases along with a window seat. There is a wardrobe right across from the window seat, and a fireplace directly in front of his bed. I hear a chuckle behind me and I'm pretty sure my whole face turned red. " do you want to talk about it?" He asks rubbing circles on my back. I'm pretty sure I'm a chameleon because all the color drains from my face. " hey it's okay if you don't I just" he starts, but I cut him off as I turn around and hug him. Sobs escape my small body and I clench the back of his shirt in my fists. " it's okay angel your okay" he says while stroking my hair back " no I'm not" I finally say. He gives me a quizzical look. " it hurts to breathe, to think, to listen, and to love. Everything hurts and I don't know how much longer I can keep up this mask that I'm fine I'm perfect. So that no one will bother me so no one can hurt me again." I say sobs raking my body " no one asked you to be perfect i'd rather you be a mess, and tell me what's going on. Than you bottling up all your emotions just to put on a brave face. I want to know you to take care of you. So there's no reason to hide." He says giving me a gentle smile, and wiping away my tears. I walk over to his bed and lay down. He sits down beside me. " Angel you know this is not appropriate" he says giving me a serious look " I don't want to be alone" I say with a frown " I know Angel. How about we go to your room and I stay with you until you fall asleep" he suggests begging me to agree. I nod yes before getting up, and following him back to my room. We walk into my room and I lay down. He covers me with the covers before laying down beside cuddling me to his chest. I lay my head in the crook of his neck, and a feeling of calm washes over me. I can't believe I only have four months until I marry him it might not be so bad. I close my eyes as sleep wins, and I fall into a restless sleep. I wake up to an empty feeling inside me. I wonder why until I realize that Ezra was no longer laying beside me. A whimper escapes my mouth before I get up and force my self over to the closet. I pick out a dress that is green and white.

I set it on the bed before getting my shoes. I set them on the bed before stripping of my nightgown and putting on all my undergarments. Then walking over to the bed. I grab the dress and slowly put it on. Making sure not to touch the dress to my neck. I do not like anything touching my neck because of the incident. I finally get the dress on when I notice that there's a necklace on my nightstand. Dear Angel I know it's hard to, but I would prefer for you to wear this today Love Ezra Crown I smile at the note before looking down at the necklace. It's beautiful with a blue stone. The stone is set in silver with small design all over the metal. Though it is beautiful I cringe at the idea of putting anything on my neck. Let alone drawing any attention to it. I slowly put on the necklace it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The metal is cold against my neck which makes me shiver. It is so beautiful nothing like me. My dark black hair is glossy and smooth, but frizzes up when the temperature gets above ninety. Also it's unruly especially since it's curly. My light tan has completely faded away leaving me looking like a ghost. My once bright blue eyes are dim with dark circles under them. I close my eyes and take a deep breath willing myself not to cry. I walk over to the bed and sit down as silent tears run down my cheeks. How could I let this happen? How could I let him brake me? How could I let him do this to me? I hear footsteps before I'm engulfed in a hug. I squirm a little so I can look up at who's hugging me. I see Ezra's pained face looking down at me. " I love you and I'm here for you." He states before kissing my forehead, and in that moment I knew in my heart what I was. No I am feeling " I l-love yo- you t-too" I manage to stutter out. God why am I so nervous. I look up to see his award winning smile. " do you know what that necklace is?" He asks with a blank face I shake my head no. " it's a protection stone which means that as long as your human, and I'm around you will always be safe" he says looking proud of himself. I lean up and peck him on the lips " thank you" I say before getting up and leaving the room.
