Chapter 75: Gestures

~Dream~

I heard a familiar name. Echoing in here. I stood up and I made a signal to close the pathway. The Troll blocked it as if it was a dead end. I made this place my home. Nobody has come here in three years. Felix's creations basically destroyed by the time they have been here. I was even able to get the cursed necklace. It took a year but I was able to snatch it. Sadly we can't destroy it as there aren't any witches or warlock found. I went to the now opened hole. Then I saw such change. The city is alive again. Woman are walking in such beautiful dresses. Men were laughing. There were some soldiers but not as fierce or angry as before. But what caught my attention was the man I once loved. Even I still call him my boyfriend mentally.

But he was well dressed. There was this beautiful music playing as people sat down. Someone sits in front of my vision so I had moved a bit. I wanted to see. But who I saw tore my heart. My sister. She was wearing a puffy white dress. Walking towards Felix with a big smile. She had something in her face that made the color in her eyes pop with beauty. Their getting married. I felt my soul breaking at the sight of their happiness. Suddenly the person sitting places his hand on the floor but it had glided by accident. I heard his name mentioned again and I had moved my body dodging the hand. Bad move. The see through cover moves because of my legs.

His hand snatches the cover and I moved again. But was caught by his speed. He isn't human. This new King found me. I had revealed myself by accident as I heard my boyfriends name being mentioned again and I moved. He was getting married to my sister. I felt betrayed and shocked. I always thought they didn't like each other. The new King basically drags me out and I am shocked to see his face. Such handsome man. I was upside down. Luckily I had no dress so nothing is shown. But everyone gasps and I just smile cheeckily.

I waved once as this new King spoke "Seems like someone decided to finally appear..."

"So what!" I complain a little as I cross my arms

"You are feisty..." He says with a gentle smile

"Put me down!" I try to protest

I started feeling nauseous from being like this "Why? Afraid of being dropped?"

I hurled up a little and say "Too... L-Late..."

Everything came out. I had vomited all over the Kings clothing. He groaned in annoyance. When I stopped he placed me back in place and I rush to the side where nobody is and vomited again. I hate being upside down. I tried training so hard but I still can't be upside down. My weakness. People started laughing as the wedding was paused. I wiped my mouth with the big shirt and I looked to the two getting married. They looked at me in shock. It made me roll my eyes. Two maids grab my arms and I am in shock.

"Go give her a bath... I need a change of clothing... Continue with the ceremony" the King orders

I was pulled away and so I ignored their eyes on me. He forgot of me. I didn't forget him. I clench my jaw and just let the maids drag me. I smell of puke thanks to that stupid King. They take me towards the baths. It looks like a pool instead of a bath. Steam was coming out of it. My whole body tensed up. As they tried stripping me down. Two maids started throwing rose pedals inside the pool. I struggled with the two trying to get me naked. I felt flustered and embarrassed. Nobody has seen me naked. Only Aqua and because that's her style anyways. Mermaids don't use bra's. Or when they transform human they don't use underwear.

It took this maids five minutes to strip me. I covered myself with my hands. This is embarrassing. They started putting something on my skin. It was really sticky. It was on my legs. On my arms. Even in my arm pits. They even put a small one above my lips and above my eyebrows. I looked like as if someone smeared me in honey and I fell on top of a pack of rectangle papers. Then the smaller pieces of my face. Two maids remove my hands and they did something in my under area.

I am in shock. They aren't touching me inappropriately but I am in fear as they have some kind of sharp knife in a very sensitive area. I was shaking like crazy. Is this the new norm in the top area with this new King. This is sick. I know I have not taken care of my body but that was never an issue for me. I glanced at the two maids and noticed how no hair were in their arms. It was smooth and it shined with life. They weren't skinny or dehydrated. They looked healthy. Did things change so much?

Pain erupts in my legs and I shrieked out. They joinked the thing off of my skin. There was no more hair there. It hurts like hell but fascinating. 'Wait!' One after the other they joinked at it. Even the one on my lip and above eyebrows. Pain is all I can feel. I hate these so much. I was shaking and holding on to my body as if it was a cliff. Then I was placed in the water. A pile of towels was placed down by the corner. I hissed in pain. Hot water plus whatever they did to my skin. It burns. I heard gentle steps and I tensed up.

"You may go now" the Kings voice is heard

Oh no. What will he be doing? Why is he here? What will he do? Will he kill me? Is he like his dad? Is he like his brother? Will he just have his fun with me? Will he torture me after the maids did all of this? I can't believe all of this. I did my best to keep my distance and cover my body as much as I could. I stared at him as he removed his clothing. I am a bit afraid. I rather die than to be taken by this man. Last time I saw him before I was knocked out by something. He was making out with another woman.

To say the least he is completely alive and well after we all saw him get killed by his own father in a battle. I just can't believe any of this. I scurried in search of something to cover my body. I hear the water splatter so I turn to look once again and noticed his naked glory entering the giant bath. Oh no. I was able to cover my body with my hands as I didn't find any towel or cloth around to cover my body. I just can't be in here. How can I run away when the only exit is across from me and he is in the way.

It's fight or flight situation.

~Back to Reality~

I slowly opened my eyes and I felt completely confused. Is this another dream? For a moment I can't recognize the ceiling. But once I blinked again and everything cleared up I noticed the light colored ceiling Luke has in his bedroom. I sighed out in relief as I wanted everything to lighten up a bit. But when I looked to the side I noticed the windows were closed and I felt completely confused. What time is it?

I looked at the desk where the clock sat and it showed that it was one in the afternoon. I almost slept all day. I felt slightly alone in the bed for some odd reason so I looked to the side. I felt lonely. I was all alone on the bed. What? I remember falling asleep with Luke beside me. We were cuddling basically. Tonight even though I had a weird dream I still wanted to wake up with Luke by my side. I wanted to open my eyes and see Luke. But he wasn't here. There are a lot of things to do but I didn't expect to wake up so late.

I slowly sat up as I felt something slide gently from my lap and I felt confused. What? I looked down slightly and noticed a bouquet of roses. Beautiful red roses. I felt slightly happy and I just smiled lightly. So I grabbed it holding it against me. I tried standing up but I felt something in my feet and so I looked to the floor and noticed more petals. It made my smile grow a bit more. What did he do? I noticed something black on the chair so I walked to it gently. A black cloth?

With one hand I grabbed it and noticed it is a dress. I felt confused. He left me a dress. Looks completely comfortable. I placed the flowers down. Shower first. I may not have the perfect nose at the moment as I still barely awake but I want to make sure I don't smell bad at all. So I rushed into the bathroom to clean myself quickly.

What is this man planning?
