How to love a Monster

Chapter 14

He already planned how he'll separate them. "Curiosity, killed the cats...." as the humans says. Curiosity will also kill the mood between those two.

He waited until Marinette got tired and asked "Chat" to show her the way back. As he did, the god was following close behind them. When they got close enough, he sent one of his little soul-head ghost towards Marinette.

The little ghost quickly cached Marinette's attention, he took one or two round, around her then he turned to the left following a long but thin hallway winch ended with stairs.
The hallway was dark, mysterious and very......appealing. It was almost like someone called her name, telling her to come closer and take a look. She couldn't help herself, she wanted to know what that room was hiding.

As curious as she was, she wanted to sleep so she dismissed the idea of following that thing and followed Chat instead who was just about to turned around, not understanding what she was doing. He saw how she looked at the hallway, winch angered him. It was the hallway winch lead to his room. He forbid-ed everyone, to ever go inside, even if it's only to clean. But he quickly calmed, he didn't told her yet to stay away so he shouldn't be so angry. He calmed down and accompanied the woman to her room. He opened the door for her, stepping aside and letting her pass.

He waited until she was inside then he gave her a little "warning".

- Listen, I'll only warn you once. That room, is my forbidden place. No one can go inside, including my servants. Please, respect that one rule.- He stayed calm and as polite as possible, she really couldn't ask for more.....maybe a little explanation could of been nice but she was already thankful that he warned her before she even considered going inside the room.

- Alright. I'll stay away.- She finished her sentence with a yawn, signaling that she was way too tired to continue any conversation. Fortunately, Chat understood and with a quick "good night", he already left the room to let the tired woman rest. She barely heard him as she quickly changed and trowed herself on the bed, quickly falling asleep. She didn't wanted to think about that room anymore Chat asked her not to do so...........But Discord wouldn't let her off so easily.

He watched as Marinette quickly fall asleep waiting for the right moment. Finally, when she was deeply sleeping he sent another of his-headed ghost next to her. The little ghost began to to whisper incoherent words in her ears causing her flinch in her sleep. The effect he wanted was immediately kicked in as the little ghost retracted to the God who watched the woman below. His eyes looked through her, inside her head and mind, her dreams.

Or to say his dream.

She dreamed what he wanted her to dream.

She was at the corridor again and faced the stairs that lead to "that" door. The forbidden door.

She knew that she wasn't supposed to even think about entering the room, after all Chat asked her "politely". Still, she felt her body move on it's own towards the door. She walked up the stairs and stopped before the door, her arm reached towards the knob. She tried to resist herself but to no avail, her mind and body was disconnected or at least she felt like it.

Her hand hand grabbed the knob and as she was about to turn it and open the door......

....................She woke up by a thud.

She shot up, looking for the source of the sudden noise. She looked down next to her bed when she heard a groan. Sans was sitting up, putting his hand on the back of his head. She couldn't stop herself from laughing at the thought that he probably bumped into something and fell.

Sans looked up at her, a nervous smile on his face. She stopped laughing as soon as she made eye-contact with him, an awkward silence was replaced by laughs. None of them really knew what they should say.

Finally Marinette spoke:

- Are you.....okay?- She nervously asked.

- M'fine. But sadly I didn't fell for you.- Sans took the opportunity to lighten the mood and jokes were the best way to do so. the reaction was immediate, she brushed out laughing and soon, Sans joined.

This time it took longer for the both of them to calm down and stop laughing. When they did, Marinette took a deep, ready to apologies to the skeleton, but she was too slow.

- M'sorry. I was very rude yesterday.- Sans said, an apologetic look in his eyes, in the main time he looked anywhere except at Marinette.

- No, no, no! I understand that I said something that made you ups....- She couldn't finish because sans interrupted.

- Yes you did.- He paused. - But....It wasn't because you said something rude....It was my fault. It brought back some bad memories and I overreacted...Sorry.- Before he could make any sad expression again, Marinette took his hands and gave him a reassuring smile, then stated:

- I'm not mad. If I brought up bad memories for you then it should be me who need to apologize.....Sorry.- She was so kind and genuine that Sans became speechless for an entire minute.

Finally, he smiled and hugged Marinette before murmuring a quick "thank you".

I'm not going to apologize. Because I have no excuse. But now, I'm in the right mindset. I'm going to spend the next few days working on the following chapters.

See you REALLY soon
