The Monster Reborn

Part 20

HELLO CHILDREN, I'm currently writing this on my phone so please forgive any spelling errors. 

Lilly's P.O.V.

I circled the egg, as it sat in a nest of rocks. Its shell was dark with red specks all over it. I reached out to touch it, as I did, it twitched.
I nearly had a mini heart attack, but when it began to crack I really began to freak out.

"No no please stay as you were."
Wait, this is a dream. Calm yourself.

But it felt so real, I could smell the must from rocks and the dripping of the cave walls was audible. It was getting increasingly colder by the second.

The egg trembled and fell over, I waited a few moments before approaching it.

On the other side was a lump of black. It blended in with the shadows of the cave but if you focused on it it became somewhat apparent.

I reached out to touch it with my fingers and it didn't move.

It felt warm and the texture of its surface felt like scales. I picked up the creature, it was curled into some kind of ball. I couldn't see the ball clearly enough to know exactly what it was so I held it and started to walk out of the cave.

As I reached the Exit and the light shined onto my face. It was warm, I looked down at the bundle in my arms. 

I came face to face with blood-red eyes.

^﹏^

I startled awake, my breathing was erratic. 

I furrowed my brows, what was that? I looked around and saw I was in my room. The sun was high in the sky, it streamed through the window and on a sleeping Tus. His hair was tousled and messy, he breathed slowly and his chest rose and fell with the movement.

I saw I had stolen all the blankets, making me into a human burrito. I unraveled and laid them over Tus's body. He made a small noise and rolled over, I smiled. 

I got up and walked to my bag which was set against a wall. I opened it and took out my book, I stood up and walked over to the window seat. I sat with my back propped up against the side of the box. 

Tus sifted and placed his head on my stomach and wrapped his arms around my waist. I placed my book on his head and began sketching red eyes I saw in my dream. When I was done I labeled the page with a Question mark. 

I closed the book and began running my hands through Tus's hair.

Somewhere Else...

Leo had Bex pinned against the wall, his face was close to hers. There bodies where mere inches apart Bex was resisting the blush that wanted to take over her face. 

She could feel the hot breath on her face, she manages to maintain a neutral face. Leo grinned seeming to know her suppressed emotions. His cloak fluttered around him and his hair was long and seemed to shimmer in the light.

"What's wrong Love? You looked rather red." He smirked as he said this, 

Bex scowled, " I am not! I'm just... hot. Yeah, I'm hot that's why my face is red."
