The Goddess Within

~*Chapter 2*~

~*Celestia's POV*~

Father yelled at him.

"You want to marry my daughter? In your dreams!" my father shout at Ren.

Ren?! Why would Ren and father be in the same world? The most confusing part of all of this is that Ren wants to marry me?!

I am on the ground, tears sliding down my cheeks. Why am I crying? I look down, I don't have a physical body. Is this a dream?

"Sir, please, I beg of you, I love your daughter more than all of the world!" Ren got on his knees begging my father.

The dream me cried, "Ren!"

My father took out his sparring sword and stabbed Ren with it. I saw my dream self's eyes widen in horror.

Ren's eyes widen and he turned to dream me, "I'm sorry," he pants, "I can't keep our promise."

Dream me ran to him and cradle him in her arms, "Heal, heal, heal!"

She screams heal with uncontrollable tears flowing down her face, "Don't.....it won't work."

He smiled and caress her cheeks, "I love you," he said with his dying breath.

His hand dropped and I see the life escaping him. She cradled him calling out his name. Father pulled them apart, "Throw away his body, anywhere is fine."

"No!" I screamed.

My cheeks were stained with tears. I took in my surroundings and find myself in a tent. I try to get up but an arm was holding me around my waist.

Ren's arms held me tight against him. My eyes widen, "Get off me!" I screamed.

Ren didn't budge at all. He seemed really tired. His face lay just inches away from me. I feel the heat rise in my cheeks. His long blue hair lay with mine. His hair was a shade darker than mine. His peaceful face a few inches apart from mine. 

After taking a long look at his face, I can't help but admit that he is handsome. His eyes slowly open, "Huh? What time is it?"

He rubbed his eyes with the one open hand he had. He then stared at me, "You finally decided to wake up?"

"Get. Your. Hand. Off. Me. Please," I smiled darkly.

His hand retreats from my waist. "I never felt so tired in my life!" he added, "Thanks to you."

I stare at him, confused. How did I make him tired? Wait! Is it because he had to carry me here after I fainted?! I remember Luna said I was really light.

He saw my panic and grins, "Not to mention these bruises I got."

He showed me his bruise on his neck. I took a closer look, the bruise was made probably a few hours ago.

"I'm so, so, so, sorry!" I got up and bowed to him.

He seemed satisfied, but then concern covered his face, "Why were you crying in your sleep?"

"Bad dream," I said.

I didn't want to tell him that he wanted to marry me in my dream and that my father disapprove. I can't tell him that my father killed him just because he begged to marry me. But, then again, why would I have such a weird dream like that? It is also surprising that I remembered it at all.

What....what if it was going to happen in the future? I'll fall in love with him? I'll keep my distance from him, love is useless.
