Rian and Lily lay down quietly on the bed . Lily's back was facing Rian and she couldn't help but shiver as she remembered all they had done in the bath . How would she ever face him now?. In the bath, she was a little bit bold but now her attitude was synonymous to a cat beaten and battered by the rain . She turned to face Rian directly, his eyes were closed but she didn't know if he was sleeping. She used her fingers to slowly poke his nose . She knew her attitude for this man had changed but, she didn't know how to describe it. Rian groggily opened his eyes
" What is it, wifey? "
" Nothing " she answered. Rian nodded and placed his arm around her waist.
" I'm leaving tomorrow " he said out of the blue . " I have urgent business to attend to "
" Oh " was all Lily could say, she was not happy that he was leaving, if possible, she wanted him to stay with her
" I'll be back soon, I'll try not to miss you much or I'll probably fall ill " he said and kissed her five points. Her forehead, her nose, her cheeks and her lips " I don't know what you're doing but you're making me fall hard for you, Lily " Rian smiled and embraced her. Before, all he had was his sister but now, this little lady was filing his life with a special warmth and he would go extramind to protect her . Tomorrow , he would find out what she was so he could protect her.
******* *********
Lily was panting hard as she ran for her life. Something was after her, she didn't know what it was but she could hear it growl. She was scared
" Rian, Rian " she shouted so he could come to her rescue. Unfortunately, he was nowhere to be seen " Rian " she sobbed. As she ran, she hit her foot on a stone and fell hard on the floor. A pool of blood immediately formed under her , the pain was unbearable, she could not move. The monster caught up with her, its face was horrible, its eyes as red as blood. It opened his teeth ready to devour her. As it brought its fang closer, something swooshed and the monster fell to the ground. Lily turned to her side only to see half of the monster's face burnt, the golden arrow pierced its forehead deep. Lily instantly got up, she ignored the pain on her leg and looked at the monster beneath her.
" You came back here despite all the warnings, huh? " a voice from behind said startling her . Lily turned around and saw the same lady in front of her. The lady was a stark replica of Lily . The only difference between them was that the lady had white hair and light blue eyes .
" Who are you?, why do you look like me? " Lily asked the lady in front of her
" You came back to scimitar " the lady evaded the question " Do you know how dangerous this place can be? " she questioned and Lily shook her head " the monster you just saw is a dumbleff, a bite from a dumbleff could drain your soul . Never come here again " She turned around ready to leave
" Wait " Lily called and the lady paused " I don't come here intentionally, I just happen to see myself here. What's even scarier is that I find someone who looks like me. Can you tell me what's wrong with me? " the lady turned around in an instant . She appeared to be surprised.
" You don't come here intentionally? " the lady asked in surprise
" I don't " Lily truthfully answered . The lady frantically ran to where Lily was and pulled her gown up to her thighs . There was a mark there, the mark was in the shape of a dragon, the lady joined her thigh with Lily's. The mark on both of their legs formed a dragon.
" It's you " the lady said in disbelief
