There's a beautiful cherry Blossom tree right outside her compound. Kira doesn't want to go back to the room, even though all she feels like doing at the moment is burying her face in her pillow and crying herself to sleep, she doesn't want to be that petty.
So she sits under the tree and watches some ants she found scattered around. They are unlike anything she's ever seen before, they are bigger and pink, yes, pink ants. Seeing them reminds her of the fact that she was still very much living in a dream, or a nightmare perhapes. Everything seemed surreal, and she couldn't bring herself to accept it. She remembers the lightning, the pain as her vision went dark. And most importantly, she remembers who's fault it had been. If Dae hadn't asked her to get that stupid plant, she might still be home by now. No, she would probably be at his studio getting pushed around by him.
Why did he hate her so much anyways? It's not like she's ever done anything to offend him. They went to school together, and he had started bullying her long before she even knew who he was. He would send kids to pick on her, and they all did as he said because he was the son of some very rich family, he was handsome and had good grades. The dream of every girl in school, her own personal nightmare. And to think he would still bully her even in her dreams.
" Gosh, this is so fucked up " She signed to herself. Whatever, dream Dae could go fuck himself. Once she wakes up from this damn dream, she would quit her job, she doesn't care if she had to move in with her parents for it. " But how to wake up "
Kira thinks hard, the only thing that comes to her mind are scenes from some messed drama she's seen in the past. ' A girl finds herself in a different world, the only way to return is to find love '
" Ah Damn!!! It's so hopeless!! WHY DOES THIS SHIT GOT TO HAPPEN TO ME!"
Hasn't she suffered enough? Hasn't she tolerated enough? Sure, she complains a bit too much, but she has every right to. It's not easy working for that Motherfucker! The whole company pities her for having to put up with Dae. She wished he was the one who had gotten struck by lightning.
Kira rises to her feet, she dusts off her dress and begins walking down a random direction. The palace is so big, even if she walks for days it doesn't seem like she would be able to see it all. She comes upon a beautiful lake with flower beds flowing on top of the translucent blue water. There is a bridge that goes over the lake, and above it are two beautiful women. Kira doesn't even know if there are women truly, appearance can be deceiving.
" Kira! Hey, over here " Kira was just about to leave when one of the girls waved over at her excitedly. She doesn't know who they are and the last thing she needs is to offend someone she shouldn't. So she put on a fake smile and approached them. Both girls looked alike, and they were dressed in the same clothing as well, maybe sisters. " We heard what happened. I can't believe Dae would do that to you!"
" The bastard! I told you it's a bad idea to take him in. Some say that his kind were cursed to be this way, so damn arrogant, just because he thinks he had that stupid beast to protect him " The other girl says, she gives Kira a sympathetic look.
" You mean the dragon?"
" Yeah. Are you going to kill him now?"
" You should. He deserves to die "
" I want to see his beautiful head brought to you on a silver platter "
" Woah, how beautiful would that be "
They are crazy, every single one of them. She takes a step back from the girls, both are looking at her with eyes gleaming with killing intent. Why does everyone expect her to kill Dae, he might be an asshole but murder was....it was just a terrible thing to do. Kira turns away from them with the intention of leaving, however she catches her reflection on the surface of the water below and an idea occurs to her. Since she came here from a near death experience, wouldn't she also be able to go back home the same way? Even if it doesn't work, she knows how to swim, but it was worth a short.
" Kira,um...what are you doing?"
" I am going to drown myself " She tells them as she leans over the bridge
The girls exchange looks and laugh off her words. " Enough now, Get down so we can talk about how to punish Dae "
" Dae can burn in hell " Kira rolls her eyes as she let herself fall. She hears a horrified scream as she plunges into the water. The water is cold and it smells too much like flowers. Above her, she can see two figures having a panic attack, yet non of them made any move to come after her. Idiots, the water wasn't even that deep, the only reason she hadn't resurfaced was because she was keeping herself below. She was running out of breath but she didn't mind, Kira wanted to pass out. She wished to wake up next and find herself in her bed, all of this would only become a weird ass nightmare
Her eyes snapped open when she heard a splash. Her vision is blurry, but she makes out a silhouette swimming towards her. Before Kira could think to get away from whoever it was, her arm was gripped and she was yanked to the surface. She took in a deep breath as she was dragged through the water, only when her legs were touching land did she manage to pull herself away. The man let her go and she stumbled back and fell on her ass.
Dark eyes glared at her. It was a man she didn't recognize, he had short dark hair and was dressed in white clothes, similar to the one Moon had been wearing. He was just as good looking as every other guy she had seen here, except his features were more defined, she could actually tell his gender, what a surprise.
" Who the fuck!?"
" I saved your life " The man said in a voice that was both calm and impatient. " How will you reward me? "
" Who the hell said I needed saving?"
" You were drowning "
" That was the point!"
The man stares at her for a very long time. Kira can hear footsteps approaching, she turns to see a bunch of palace guards coming her way. The man who had spoilt her plans was nowhere to be found, weird how he was able to get away without her even noticing.
" Princess!!"
" On no account should you mention this to the King " Kira made them swear. That man scared the hell out of her, and she was hoping to not have to encounter him again. It's not she was suicidal, she was just trying to get back home.
* * *
" You tried to kill yourself "
Not an hour after her little stunt, a rumour had spread all over the palace that she had tried to kill herself because of her unrequited love for Dae. The King had personally come to see her in her room, Kira shrunk under her sheets as the man's eyes threatened to make her lose consciousness. It was just her luck that she would catch a cold after just one dive into the water. Each time she sneezed, the King would have a murderous look on his face, but none was directed at her.
" For that man " He says, voice soft and velvety yet laced with venom.
" I would nev..."
" Shut up!"
" Y..yes " Kira clamps her mouth shut
