“ Dreams... Nightmares... ”
~ Lora ~
I strolled around the garden before sitting under a tree to take a rest.
The days aren't meant for caging oneself in the room, right?
The air blew towards my direction causing me to shiver.
The way the green grasses bent in response to the wind was so fantastic that it caught my attention to it.
The butterflies flew around, especially the ones with the different colors.
Talking of the birds, my ears were attentive to those melodic songs even though I didn't know what they were singing.
Everywhere, everything about this fortress was so glorious and unique.
I'm pretty sure the outside has nothing compared to this place.
On the other side, I heard Lucas was back. His arrival was late at the middle of the night.
I didn't want to think about him now or what he might be doing. Although, I know it was difficult for me to let it off,
“ Nightmares... Day dreams... ” ~ Lora ~I was getting bored in my room, my mind still at the dream and I wanted a quiet place.I shut the door gently behind me making my way to know-where.The hallway, rooms, everywhere were calm so was my movement.The silent air blew, causing me to shiver greatly. I folded my arms around my chest.My teeth gnashing together, goose bumps surfacing on my skin.Nightmares... Day dreams...I didn't want to sleep, I didn't want to see what ever happenings in there.It was horrible. It was scary. No... I can't.I wish I can talk to Elena about this, but I don't know what she'll think of me as.Maybe, I was kinda crazy, right? Or somehow losing my mind.And there's no one else I can openly talk to about this.“ Lucas... ”Shut up! I yelled at the thought.I won't think of telling him this. Telling him that I'd seen hi
“ His feelings... My pains... ” ~ Unknown ~There were movements here and there causing her to wake from her gentle slumber.She shifted the blanket aside jumping out of the bed and forcing her legs into her porn slippers.She rushed out of her room, stopping a running guard on his tracks."What's going on?" She asked breathing heavily out of the force she had used to wake up."There was a sudden attack." He replied.She gasped...Lucas?!"What about the vice commander?" She asked again wanting an immediate response from the guard." He has been injured. But he's receiving treatment as we speak.""Okay. Okay. Thanks by the way. " She said trying to dilute the ugly news. " She made a sign with her hand signaling him to go. "You may leave."What might have caused such sudden attack at this late hour if the night? What's really going on?She shoved her hair to t
“ Truth... Dreams... ” ~ Lora ~I wasn't at rest for two reasons I wish I can find an answer to.First, seeing Lucas in such state was something baffling. I don't know why the hunters won't rest and they won't let us rest either.I just can't imagine the pain Lucas will be feeling right now.Second, last night Lora had seen me in his room. God only knows what she might be thinking right now.I don't want her to find out but if she did, I'll have to tell her the truth then.I was so much relieved seeing Lucas sit on his bed like nothing happened. With the royal physicians, I had much hope everything was gonna be alright.But I can't help wondering why Lucas won't heal himself. Or was he enjoying feeling the pains?I searched for Lora in her room and she wasn't there. There's only one place she'd be now, the garden.Luckily for me she was sitting under the same t
“ Lora... ” ~ Unknown ~The whole palace were alerted at Lora's scream. Elena made no hesitation as she jumped out of her bed running to Lora's chamber.She banged the door open, pulling herself towards Lora's unconscious body."Lora... Lora?" She called, moving her body gently. " Lora, answer me! "When she'd realized the environment, her eyes moved at each corner of the room. She gasped.What the...?She looked at Lora's body again, " Lora!"The royal physician made his way into the room, straight at Lora's body he placed his two first fingers on her neck feeling her pulse.Elena gave the physician a questioning stare,"She's still alive but she has lost a lot of air in her lungs. "She sigh in relief.He made a stop at the door, everyone in the room bowed to him. He saw how scattered the room was and how unconscious Lora's body laid on the bed.Elena stare
“ Nyk... Dreams... ” ~ Unknown ~The black limo stopped at the front of the palace. A guard went to the back side of one of the car opening it for the young lady to step out.The guard closed the door behind her. Her face was already plastered with a smile as she stared at Lucas."Hello, son."He went forward to her kissing her palm softly, " Mother, it's nice to see you again.""I couldn't stay without thinking about you. How have you been? "" Great. Especially now I'm looking at you. " He kissed it again. " Why don't we go inside? "" Thank you. "As they made their way into the palace, Elena met with them. Nyk was overwhelmed to see her once again.Elena ran into her embrace hugging her tightly. " Mother. How have you been?" She asked breaking the hug." Much better and you? "She looked at Lucas, " I've been great. Lucas has been there for me. "He smirked,
“ Come get me... ” ~ Unknown ~Suddenly, Lucas walked over her, holding his hand out for her to grasp.“ Walk with me.” He said and she blushed. He must have noticed her ogling for a walk with him, why couldn't she?He took her to his secret place, a beautiful lake located in the woods.Lora looked happy walking on the green grass with her bare feet, then dipping her foot in the water and flicking the cool liquid with her toes.Lucas just stood there staring at her from afar. She was beautiful with her long blonde hair and her chocolate brown eyes.Her dress clung to her body in all the right places, showing of her beautiful figure.He still couldn't believe that he saved such an angel from her enemies. Where would she be if he hadn't saved her on time?Suddenly, he heard a shrill yell of pain as he was lost in his thoughts.“ Lora!! ”She wasn't in the water anymore. S
“ My home is in-between those thighs... ” ~ Lucas ~I couldn't stop from thinking about what had happened yesterday.What was she thinking? Why would she want herself dead?For the first time in my life I was this concerned and disturbed because of a human.Whatever it is, I just don't know what she's done to me. Even when I try pushing her face away, it came again.And I just can't help but to think about her the more.But not as yesterday, what if I hadn't get to her so fast? What if I was so late to catch her?What... was she thinking?!I sighed, rubbing my forehead with my palms hoping I would just get an answer. But I couldn't...Would she be thinking about her family's? Or about the hunters?I keep having this feeling that she's keeping something to herself, something strong and so difficult for me to read through.She was different from the others. I
“ Truth revealed... ” ~ Lora ~My head ached and I slightly rubbed it. I mean it badly ache and I don't know why.I entered the bathroom having a quick cold shower. On getting to my room, I saw Elena sitting on my bed while Nyk sat on one of the seats beside the bed." How,,, how did you entered my room?" I stammered, surprised.Elena rose an eye at Nyk signaling that she was the one who had opened the door."Oh!" I said. Not that I was actually surprised though, but I think I just forgot we have a witch in the castle."Let me guess, something bad happened?" I said and Nyk brought out a paper stretching it out to me.I took it from her hold staring at the who-knows-what's-written in it. Like some kind of Greek or Latin language was written on it." What's this?" I asked, confused."Do you remember saying this last night?" Nyk a
“ ANASTASIA.. DRACO... ”( Seven Months Later )"Call me, Lucas! Call me my husband!" She cried in pains."But, my lady. You... ”" Call me my husband!" She yelled at the nurse who did that Immediately.Not quite long, Lucas walked in straight to her side." Hold me tight, don't let me go." She said in pains and tears." I will never leave you my love. I'm here for you, okay? " He assured her.She nodded continuously while the nurse asked her for a push.She screamed, her grip tight on Luca's hand. She kept gasping for air.The nurse ordered for another push which she did. Again and again, this she went on until sometime like a head was seen."I see it. I see it. One more push my lady.""Ahhhhh!!!"There came the cry of a baby filling the air."What do we have?" One of the nurse asked."It's a boy!"Lora stared at Lucas who offered her an assuring that everything was gonna be o
“ THE WAR... ”The time has come.On the battlefield stood the hunters and the demons.The night had already surfaced fully because that was the perfect time for wars like this especially when it has to do with this two creatures.Lucas sat on his black horse coated in pure golden armor with some other of his men who were actually his war front men.While the rest of his armies stood at the back. And from the gathering Lora walked silently to the front with her head covered with her coat cap, hiding her identity.No one seemed to have noticed her entrance until she made it to the front beside where Lucas stood.According to fate... Lora was meant to fight along side with him.Both leaders rode to the middle of the battlefield as a normal way to do. Luca's eyes held darkness, darkness the hunter leader feared not.He laughed evilly. "Do you think I'm scared? No. I've patiently waited for this moment to come and I'll mak
“ LORA IS ORDAINED... ”( A Week Later )"The war is in two days time, likewise your one year training is coming to an end. Lucas will be waiting for you. You always read his letters, don't you? " Asked Nyk as they stroll around the castle." Yes, " she replied with a nod. "I still have them with me.""That's good." She sighed deeply. " Tonight, you'll be fully ordained by the witch sisters. You'll be becoming a true witch, you have to get yourself ready before the time. "" I will. "Nyk nodded again.They kept quiet, none saying a word to each other as they kept walking.Lora groaned, rubbing her head slightly. Nyk looked at her."Are you okay?""Yes, it's just a little headache, I'll be fine."But the little headache was becoming so severe. She stopped walking, touching her head. Just then, she felt her stomach grumping and she felt neusea."Lora, is everything alright?" Nyk asked, holding her."I think
“ SAVED... ” ~ Matilda ~I picked the courage to talk to priestess Nyk. Even if they don't listen to me, I wanna live a clear mind.I knocked at her door."Come in." She permitted immediately without asking who it was. I guess she's kinda having a visitor.I walked, shutting the door gently behind me. Indirectly, or I'd say quietly taking in as much air as my nostrils can occupy." Matilda." She called my name in a surprise.No one expects me for a chat so, it's definitely not her fault seeing me."Please have a seat." She offered me and I sat while she dropped her ink, shifting the brown scroll beside. "Okay. Is there any way I can help you?""I wanna tell you something, it's been bothering me for some days now. " I started." Okay." She nodded. I'm listening. "" It's concerning Lora. " I said and her eyes widened in surprise."What does that mean? What has happened to her?!" She asked in a yell.
“ DARK LORA III... ”He flipped each page of the book over and over again. Life has been bored for him without Lora.It's been five months her haven't seen or heard from her and all he wished for was her safety.Only twice and that was two months ago his mother sent Lora's letter to him. Since then, no letter, nothing.Brian walked in with a scroll which contained the reports of the kingdom affairs.Taking it from him, he read through the reports, dropping it on his desk. He rubbed his eyes, everything was going well in the kingdom. But what about him?Even recalling his moments with her wasn't making things better, he wanted to see her. He wants her standing right beside him, promising him that she'd never leave his side.But still, he knew going to the witche's castle was the only option to keep her safe likewise everyone else.At night, when it was time for him to sleep, he would feel the bed empty.
“ DARK LORA II... ”" Lora..." It called once again.She knelt with a single leg. "Yes, mistress. Your servant is at your service. "She smirked evilly" Yes, I can see that." Said the voice. " Finally, I found you dear child. I've waited for months for your arrival, and now I've seen you, you'll be of a great task for me."" Your wishes are my command." She said still on her knee.Out of the witche's lips came a devilish laughter. It was so strong and hard to the listeners ears.~~~~~~~~~~~~She stretched her body as soon as she got down from the bed.Whew! What a long night.She looked at the sky. “ Oh! No. ” It's almost to nine.She rushed for a shower. She didn't take much time for the dressing, she ran to professor Morgan's class.She tried her possible best to make her entrance unknown as professor Morgan wrote on the board but, it ended up being in vain.
“ DARK LORA ... ” ~ Lora ~Do you know how it feels when you think of the ones you love?How happy it is when you think of those moments you shared with them?And those moments you wished to share with them?On your bed you lay fast asleep to find yourself in a world of an unknown imagination...Until suddenly you hear a voice call you from behind...That's how I felt... So happy until I heard that beautiful voice call my name from behind.“ Lora... ” ~ Unknown ~She turned to look at who it was.Standing up from where she sat, she ran so fast with the smile that got to her eyes, she called..."Mother! ” Running into her mother's spread arms.It was like the world went in a flash back to those moments back at Acacia.They didn't let go off e
“ IN THE WITCHE'S CASTLE... ” ~ Lora ~Matilda and I sat at a secret place I discovered two days ago.We were just resting from the brief play we had together. It's been so long I last had this moment.Then she laid flat on the grass while I kept sitting, my both hands were behind for support, but our eyes were fixed up to the sky.For a moment, we sat in silence." Mm-hmm. I just remembered something." I said breaking the silence and drawing Matilda's attention."What is it?" She anxiously asked."It's concerning about professor Shakes class. " I said and she slightly frown." I'm not talking about what happened to me. " I defended trying to make her know it's totally not about me.The frown disappeared."It's concerning what Gloria was thinking."She scoffed, chuckling.I looked at her but she still stared up. She seemed not to bother about it.Not t
“ IN THE WITCHE'S CASTLE... ” ~ Lora ~"I have been noticing your closeness with Matilda lately. It's been two weeks and it all looks like a year. Seems she's more special to you than anyone else. " Mother asked me.I smiled. I know where she's heading to." You're over thinking, mother.""Oh! I guess. So tell me, what's so special about her to you? "" She's a good friend. When I thought I couldn't do anything, when I stopped believing in myself, she made me to keep believing that I can still do it. "" I can cast a spell is all because of her, mother. Professor Eva once said, magic isn't all about rush, it's time-steady, Matilda made me understand those words. And more of them I'm yet to find out. "She hummed, smiling." I don't want it to look like I'm being so inquisitive over your closeness with her but, I was expecting such closeness would be with Gloria."And that
