She Unchained The Demon : Again

Nine

Dyrroth doesn't like waiting but for the sake of his feelings he wants to. This might be him cheating on Lunox but his gut is telling him he has to find out something. Plus, Lunox doesn't seem to  be excited every time he's around. It seemed like he doesn't matter so, might as well practice and find out stuffs.

"Where is that lowly creature?" Dyrroth was getting impatient. He was ready to leave when he heard some shouts.

"Dyrroth!" He hears.

There a lady wearing a mask was running towards him. This scene seems familiar, he thought. There's only one lady who calls out his name and run towards him like that; Lunox.

"I'm sorry, I was here too early so I went for a walk but I ended up falling asleep. I'm—"

Karina couldn't finish what she was saying because Dyrroth hugged her. Her eyes widened in surprise. This feeling was so oddly familiar to her. She wanted to break the hug but then she liked the feeling.

"Why do you seem so familiar," Dyrroth whispers.

"I do not know." It took few more minutes for Karina to be guilty remembering her mother's words. She broke the hug.

Dyrroth thought he was insane for a moment. He cleared his throat and said, "Come on, let's practice".

•••

After the practice Karina had managed to have only one cut. She's happy that she's learning, but the twin blades are still unresponsive to her.

"You're doing better than the first time," Dyrroth said and sat down beside her. He took her arm and healed up her cut.

"Thank you for teaching me some tricks." Karina smiled at Dyrroth.

He leaned back and feel the wind blowing at the the trees. "You know, I'd really love to know your name."

"My name..." She whispered. What is really her name? Karina? Lunox? She doesn't know. "I'll tell you my name some other time."

"That's unfair but okay. You should come to our Kingdom, once in a while. Just pay a visit or I don't know, lurk around," he said.

"Do you like the light?" She suddenly asked.

"Doesn't the kingdom you belong to has lights?"

"We have but not as bright as of the Kingdom of Abyss. It's like we're hidden behind the shadow of Abyss." She completely forgot that she was talking to the second prince of the Abyss.

"I didn't know..." Dyrroth muttered. "We should listen more to other Kingdom's people. How sad, your kingdom isn't as bright as ours."

"Wait, are you mocking our king—"

"No! Not at all," he said but chuckled.

"Tch!" She glared at him.

"Anyways, why train so hard? And why do I feel like your blades isn't into you? Are those really yours?" Dyrroth continuously asked.

She look down and started picking some thin grass. "I train because my mother told me, In a war, I should kill in order to protect."

Dyrroth frowned hearing what she said. That's a fait enough reason yet crazy. It's crazy that she thinks like that. "Why would you think in a battle perspective? That's insane! You're mother should teach you something else like gardening or something."

"How did your mother raise you?" She asked.

"Ah, my mother died when I was a baby. I only spoke to her once in a dream. But the mother who raised me was beautiful and loving. She spoiled me to do whatever I want. My life story was crazy." Dyrroth was shock to find himself chit chatting a lot with this mysterious girl. It was as if he was talking to someone so close to him.

"I heard stories about you. You and that hu—" She couldn't say the word. She frowned as her head was flashing some images and she suddenly heard voices.

"Are you okay?" Dyrroth asked but to his surprise, the masked lady stand up.

"I don't feel good. I have to go," she said and ran away leaving the surprised Dyrroth behind.

As she continues to run home, the voices got louder.

My name's Lunox not caterpillar!

And I hate caterpillars!

You can't kill me!

Unchain me! Please!

Why are you turning red!

Ha! You think I'll take someone like you as my lover?

My, my, how pitiful!

Comeback before sundown tomorrow

That was the last word she could hear before she blacks out.

On their meeting path, Lylia was surprised to see only Harley. "Where are the others?"

"Oh they can't come. Nana got sick and needs to rest. She knew you'd come here, so she sent me in case you think we sabotage you." Harley saw a sad look on Lylia's face.

"Wow, I never knew you get sad too," he joked.

Lylia sighed. "I guess I'm going home then. See ya."

She turned away to go back to their kingdom when suddenly Harley pulled her back.

"C'mon! Let's not waste the afternoon!"

Harley continues to hold Lylia's hand while they both ran towards somewhere.

"Where are we going?" Lylia asked.

"Somewhere I know you'll have fun to."

Lylia smiled and enjoyed Harley's hand holding hers. This is one of the best afternoons in her life.

"Here we are!" Harley yells and stopped at a field full of flowers.

"Wow!" Lylia exclaims. She hasn't seen so many flowers before. "They're so lovely."

"I know. I've never brought anyone in here before. I'm glad you're the first one I brought here. Your reaction is priceless!"

Lylia pressed his hand and surprised, Harley squeezes back her hand. She giggled at what he did.

"I'm glad you're smiling now," he said with a grin on his mouth.

Lylia smiles back and then pulled him for a hug. "I knew you like me," she whispered and annoyingly giggled.

"What!" Harley yelled with his unpainted face. Now the playful Lylia is back! He thought.
