"Muse" (Rouxls Kaard X Reader)

"Cold" (Chapter 2)

"So, is this guy going to look as weird as you?" You snicker.

Rouxls is not amused as he swings open the cell door abruptly, peering down at you with a conceited look.

"You arst a very rude young lady."

You shrugged and took a step out of the musty cell. You were only acting this way because you had nothing to lose. In real life you never spoke so rudely. Unless you had a bad customer that is.

Before you could even take another step, Rouxls grabs your left wrist roughly. A cold jolt swims up your arm, causing you to reel back out of his grasp. With wide eyes, you peer back up into Kaards blackish blue eyes. That...felt so real. You were scared now. Why was this dream messing with you so much? In the past you've had way worse nightmares.

"Would thoust just stop?" He grumbles after you come back to 'reality'.

He snakes his long fingers around your wrist again, yanking you forward with him. Your mouth was left hanging open as you begin to study things much, much further. His warm fingers, laced with a cold touch of his royal coat buttons. How was this so real? You follow him against your will, being led like some lost child. The silence only made it worse as the man didn't seem like one for conversation.

"Kaard?" You pipe up, pulling your robe hood down that was starting to choke you.

You see him looking down at you from the corner of his eye "Yes?"

"What is the King going to do to me?" You stoically ask, masking the fear that was beginning to pile higher in your mind.

Rouxls eyes dash away at your question. Panic. Your heart was now in your throat, and beating so fast you could hear it.

'I have to get out of here' you thought, tracing the corridor walls as you two begin to walk up to what seemed like an elevator.

Rouxls held onto your wrist tightly, not wasting time pushing buttons and opening the elevator doors. Once inside with you, the contraption made a low rumble. While ascending slowly, this is also when the tall figure began to speak more.

"You are the enemy, human. A Lightner. King Spade will know what to do with thee." He proudly confirmed, his free arm brushing off his coat.

You cringed, having no idea what he was talking about.

"I'm a what? 'Lightner'?" You ask, wondering what any of this meant.

Desperation to wake up had started to set in rather quickly. You didn't like this dream anymore. You squint your eyes and begin to slap yourself, hard.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!" You holler, readying your right hand for another punch.

"Wait!" Kaard seethes, stopping you from smashing your cheek again "Are thoust insane?"

"Please, Kaard, I don't want to die!" You beg, assuming that this is what King Spade was going to do to you.

Rouxls arrogant smile lowers at the sight of seeing you helplessly squirming around in his grasp.

'There really is something wrong with thoust woman' he thought.

And what was worse is that he knew King Spade would more than likely do worse things than kill her. Now Rouxls was having a reality check. If anyone found out that he was hoarding her, or letting her go, he would be punished severly. He flashes his eyes to the elevator panel, they were about to reach the throne room. With a quick thrust, Kaard stops the elevator.

You wobble over as the machine grunts at the sudden change. You were bewildered from the man you just met change of pace. He kept his face hidden from you under the faint light.
