Beautiful nightmare (Contagious Dreams sequel)

Chapter 1-Rivals

"Anna, can you help me to get past level twelve?" Comes Kelv's deep voice, ringing in my years, jolting me out of my thoughts.
In front of Kelv is his T.V, and he sits there, fingers moving quickly over his video-game controller.

Seeing Kelv so eager to finish this level of the game almost makes me laugh. He's focused so intently on the screen.
Although Kelv has changed after his amnesia, his undying obsession with video-games hasn't changed a bit.

Staring at my watch, I gasp. "Oh my god! I've completely lost track of time! Sorry Kelv! Got to go!" I stammer, giving Kelv a quick hug before rushing out of his bedroom, saying goodbye to his mum and running out onto the street.

As I run through Kelv's familiar neighbourhood, I try to forget about Blade and Saskia together. Helping Kelv to get through his amnesia has not only helped him greatly, but it's also helped me a great deal.

Sometimes I feel the need to get out of the Dawn Kingdom. It no longer feels like home there.

Without Blade to talk to, I have no one. Oscar is still one of my best friends, but he has daily shifts as a royal servant. I am still grateful for the Dawn queen's hospitality, although I feel the need to escape to the human world a lot.

Now Oscar only has weekends free, leaving me without anymore friend options. Kelv is not my boyfriend, he's totally forgotten about our previous shaky relationship, and I think it might be best to keep it that way.
I'm not ready for another relationship yet, that's for sure. Kelv and I should just remain as best friends.

Out of breath, I find the portal to the Dawn Kingdom, still as magical as ever, in the local park. I remind myself that I really need to bring Kelv to the Dawn Kingdom sometime, for his amnesia has swallowed up his memory of it.

~~~~~~~~~~~
The first sight to greet me when I arrive at the Dawn Kingdom is Blade and Saskia kissing. I grimace.The memory of Blade pushing me against the wall and kissing me so long ago is still clear in my mind.
If only Blade and I had known that we were both cousins, otherwise we would thankfully have never kissed.

Still, Blade has been kissing Saskia everyday, in public, which makes it even worse. It takes all my willpower not to vomit.

I glare at Blade as he pulls away from Saskia, his eyes skimming across me nervously. Blade has seemed so distant lately. It's like he doesn't want us to be friends anymore, and it hurts. A lot.

Blade and Saskia embrace, before walking together hand in hand towards the dining room, disappearing into the crowd of Dawn fairies wanting something to eat.

I walk towards an empty table in the corner of the dining room. "Guess I'll be eating alone again." I think to myself.
I take a menu out and study it intently. Today I think that I'll order a chicken salad......

"Boo!!!" A loud voice comes from behind me, and something slams into my shoulder with a jolt.
I turn around to see Oscar, whilst rubbing my shoulder.
"What did you do that for?" I exclaim with a frown. "You seriously scared the hell out of me!!"

Oscar chuckles, before seating himself on the other end of the table. "Someone looks like they could do with some company." He says.
I ignore him, and pretend to be reading the menu.
Oscar scratches his head and glances in Blade's and Saskia's direction. "Those two really need to get a room." He mutters under his breath.

"Tell me about it." I reply, rolling my eyes. "Saskia has totally turned him into a different person."
I pause. "Anyway, why aren't you wearing your servants uniform?" I ask Oscar.
He grins, before turning his gaze towards me. "Time off from work. Actually, I came to talk to you about something. About Blade."
