"Lord Cedric" there was no answer, he was too deep in sleep.
"Lord Cedric!" I panicked.
The glasses came.
"CEDRIC!" I shouted as I drew back in panic.
That moment Cedric shot awake and sat up, the glass froze in mid-air, I let out a gasp, they were close so close.
Cedric growled holding his head, the glass landed on the floor making loud noises. I was left paralyzed, in total shock, my breaths were uneven.
"W-what was that?" I said frightened to the core, my eyes drifted to him for answers but I wasn't sure he would comply.
He was just in that position, his fingers buried in his dark locks and his green eyes were beaming, a frightening appearance.
I shivered.
Suddenly I jolted when I heard the glasses moving again, I just watched closely as the glass levitated gathering together, and slowly merged back the way it was like it was never broken, I gasp in amazement at the wonders of magic.
"Lord Cedric," I said faintly, I couldn't tell what he was thinking and his expression wasn't helping, his green eyes were still glowing, it was the brightest in the dim darkness.
All I knew right now was that I should be gentle with him, and wouldn't wanna make him angry.
"Lord... Cedric" I said softly as I slowly reached for him.
Suddenly he grabbed my arm, yanking me to him, our bodies brushed together, the heat coming off him was intense, he wasn't cold like he usually was.
His glowing green eyes fixed on me, our faces inches apart, the sweat still hung against his features. What did he dream about? Was it a nightmare?
"Speak of what happened tonight to no one," he said in a slow deadly tone, it was an order coming from him, the way he said, like if I told anyone I would be punished severely or worse.
Staring at his glowing green eyes was scary, I shifted uncomfortably.
"Your grip..." I said, twisting my hand in his tight grip but it wouldn't budge.
"It's too tight"
He let go, getting off the bed. I watch as he grabs a robe, flapping it in and then walking to the window doors leading to the wide veranda.
I finally let out the breath I was holding in relief, his close presence was always so dominating and suffocating.
I took my time to stand holding myself, I was still in shock at what just happened, was he having a nightmare? Does it always happen like that when he is asleep? Well, I couldn't tell from that aspect, but ever since we shared chambers something like this has never happened.
A lot of questions ran in my head, I needed some answers, I didn't like being in the dark for anything. I made my way to the veranda, the skies were surprisingly clear even though it was raining, my eyes caught Cedric, his hands placed on the pillar, his head bent down.
I silently made my way to him and stood a distance from him, I cleared my throat.
"Do you wanna talk about it?"
The wind blew harshly around us, he slowly raised his head, his eyes fixed on the view of the Empire.
The silence bored me, he wasn't even making any effort to talk to me and worse it was like I wasn't even here. I sighed, this was a waste of time, I wondered why I even made the effort to talk to him.
"Fine, then I will just pretend I wasn't just about to be killed by broken glasses!" I snapped, I was getting impatient.
"I do not wish to be disturbed" his voice cold and distant, leaving no room for question.
I wasn't so surprised by his words, there was like this wall around him I couldn't explain, why did I even bother to ask, why was I worried about a man who tried to kill me, at that thought I scowled, the painful memory coming in, what I had to endure because of his so-called punishment.
In silence, I turned walking back into the room. I lay on the bed, using the covers to cover my whole body, away from the world. I sighed. Cedric was a difficult man, there was never gonna be any understanding between us... the actions said it all, I just have to stay clear of what to come, I think it's high time I put up my own walls.
