Chapter 10: Clutched in Fear

1.) David looks at me. We laugh. "So who's your afternoon?" asked David. "It's fine… I guess. E.J. gives us a bottle of wine. "For the engaged couple…" said E.J. "Dude, this is too much." said David. "Come on David… We are both students of your uncle… our friendship is way, way back! And Flowers for the Lovely lady…" said E.J. as he gives me those Fae lilies. I stab myself with some of its thorn. "Aw!" I said. "You okay?" asked David. "I'm fine…" I said. "Oh… Ms. Drazel, is something wrong?" asked him. Dad goes to us. "David ma boy, we will be going back for now, please take care of me stubborn child." Said Dad as he and aunt goes back to the cars. "So… what do you want to do?" asked David. I am still a little bit sad, He noticed it, maybe?

2.) Later that night. I was having nightmares on a laboratory. The young David looked scared. He was very scared, I run to him as crawling vines started to run away. The people there became, people are all killed. Blood everywhere and this…Fae Lilies. Mom Pick me and David up. Dad pick this black sheep boy as we run to the entrance. "Mom… I'm scared." said The Sheep boy. I look at my hand, it was greenish. I tap my head. It has some sort or…rock? Crown? As I touch my ears, it was sharp, elven like.

3.) I woke up. I go outside my room. Back to the fireplace in the mansion. David was laying down on the big couch, looking at the stars tin the veranda. I joined him. "Can't sleep?" asked Shane. "Yeah…" said David. I join him and huddle close on his chest. "I'm having this bad dream… I don't understand. You were there, but you look like a elf with 3 spiked emerald crown, roots was wrapped around your arms, you are controlling them, helping me to get out." Said David. He snuggles closer to me and kiss me on the forehead. "Sometimes, I wonder, why we forget memories…" I said. "Sometimes, we forget it, to forget the pain… others. It's not really important, but some are too much to bare, that's why we… don't remember it." Replied David. We yawn and laugh again.

4.) On the next morning. I go down the lobby. E.J. was there, cleaning off the table. I go to him. I sat down. He looks at me. "What?" asked E.J. "No, I'm just curious… I mean, you are a sociopath? Psychopath? But… Tell me the truth, what's your relationship with David. E.J. Open the window. His hand becomes black and wooly. It vibrates. David goes down stairs and sit next to me.

5.) "David, Say the truth about us." said EJ. David looked weirded out. "E.J. is one of my best friends here. We knew each other since we are young. He also attended the same academy I was and college. All though, why this dumbass still stays here, he should be a good biologist…" said David. "Because I was needed here dumbass!" replied E.J. David and I go outside. E.J. keeps on washing his glasses. David and I go around town. I watch him doing Patrol work. Heath was facilitating some other people younger than them, seems like junior cadets. One of them. Shane goes to the flowershop. E.J. was drinking coffee 2 blocks away. "Uhm… Who's that Innkeeper?" asked Shane. "Oh… E.J.? He's an orphan… Adopted by the former Sheriff, such a jolly young lad…" said by her. "I mean… He's full name." said Shane. "Now come to think of it… I don't remember…" said The Flowershop keeper.

6.) Shane goes to a restaurant. David goes inside. David picks a blue lily like flower. "Fae lily… Why I know this flower?" I asked myself. "Oh… I pick one up… I think you will like it…" said David. It put a smile on my face. "I wonder though… why people, seems to be accepting on… non-humans here?" I asked. "It's a long story, there are laws here that threat us as endangered sub-species of humans… by the prime minister himself, if maneaters are found, they will be killed by an operative…" said David. He ponders.

"It's Obvious, they will not remember anything and everything."

7.) "Who's that operative that kills maneating monsters…" david obviously won't remember… E.J. made him forget. Bernie goes inside. "Oh… My favorite couple. David…" said Bernie as he hands down papers. "There are residues of aphrodisiac gasses in the Pyramid mountain. The waitress looks at us. "Oh Sheriff, Sir Bernard… " said by her. "The usual…" said David." We ate some corn. David seems to be avoiding shellfishes, crustaceans, coffee and chocolate, he smiles at me with his cute fangs hanging just right. He is very cute. I can stare at him forever. Then comes afternoon. Now, I'm a bit board. I went to patricia lake, then wait even more. The sunset is quite nice as I sat down the ramp and play footsies on the lake.

8.) A Mermaid? She goes to me. "Hi… Sheriff David told me, don't go near the Fae lily path inside a cave… He was undergoing a difficult mission, he will be fine." Said the Mermaid as she sinks down. Marina swims by me in her Bullshark folk. She crawls to the land as she becomes a human. She was panting as she raises her cross bow.

9.)"What happened?" I asked. "Shane, calm down… David and Heath was fighing a tree monster… Fae lilies was planted on that tree as A 30 meter tree runs to the lake. David Jumps to it as he makes an Ice axe, he slams it again and again and again as pink pollen starts to scatter in the area. "Back off!!!" shouted David Heath and Jeremy fly away. Marina takes her bow as water droplets starts to her bow, looking more like a water gun as she barrages the tree, freezing it. Marina inhales as she focuses and douse the Giant Tree monster with a barrage of water. The tree jumps towards us as he swipes Marina to the left. David does jumps to us as the Tree Monster almost slams me. I panicked, ready to be squashed. "Huh?" I look at The Tree monster.

10.) I move my hand, he was moving along it. The Tree Monster sprays me with pink pollen. I fainted. I woke up, David was carrying me like a Princess. I laugh a little. I hold his face. "Shane…Are…Are you all right?" he was flustering as the sun sets. I…I kinda feel. Weird. I kind of feel hot. David puts me on my bed in the Inn.

11.) "Da…David." I said David goes to me. He touches my head. "Damn… The aphrodisiac fever…" said David. I hug him. "Shane you should rest…" said David. I kissed him. "Shane… no… You are affected by the aphrodisiac pollen…" said David. I remove his shirt as I kiss him. "David holds my face." He blows a cold breath on my face. I was shock. I hide myself. "I'm so sorry… I don't know what got in to me…" I said but, my judgement, being clouded. David giggles a little. He sat down. He kisses me in the forehead and say, "You know, I love you. If you wanted to have sex again with me… On the time you are better. Okay?" said David as we laugh. "Thanks. I love you too…." I said. David hugs me. I rested on his lap. I kinda move to his… Bulge. It was half hard. "Whoa! Whoa!" said David as He puts me on the pillow.

12.) I love how shy he was. David flusters as he laughs. "Sorry… that. Turned me on…" as he looks away with his ears red and his head, steaming, "Okay… It's good night for reals…" I said. David goes out, he peeks again. Said David as he closes the door.

13.) In my dream. I was covered in vines.

"Mom…It hurts… my head hurts… The vines trembles…" I said as I cry. Mom kiss me in the head. "Sweetheart, soon it will be all over… Trust mommy on this okay?" said Mom as she cut herself with a knife and let blood flow thru the vines.

"This...is a song... I would sing, for a while... Right on this moment..."This is a song... I would sing, for a while....

Right at this moment... before we say farewell!,

This is a song, That we share, this moment,

This is a song...before, I say Good bye! Good! Good bye! ..."

Sing to me…The song of the stars….

Sing All your love… Oh Cherished heart…

Sing to me…This song of love…

So I would remember….

REMEMBER….You…."

The vines grows and engulfed me. "Goodbye Shane…" said Mom as the Vines covered me.

"MOM!" I shouted out of the Blue. I stand up and go to the terrace. I walk to it. I notice E.J. was out of his room to the porch in red shorts. He was panting. I look to my right and David was panting out of his room, half naked in blue shorts. Why are these men half naked anyways? A shadowy figure moves from the forest. E.J. Leaps to it. He looks back and saw me. He looks to the right and he lands on a tree. He becomes a were black sheep. The area around us vibrates. David stood up. "David, go back to bed." Said E.J. David goes back inside his room.

14.) I just realized. My palm…there's a growing leaf. I try to remove it. Then I sighed. It's weird… Why there's a leaf growing in my palm. David goes to me. Huh? Did he just defied the hypnosis order? David looked terrified. He hugged me. "I thought….I thought I lost you." He said. He presses me on his muscular chest. I smell him. Damn he smells nice. We go inside my room.

15.)I realize. I took my smartphone. I type. E.J. "E.J.?" he said. I nod. "Who is…" I point my smartphone. "Oh… E.J. is an orphan…. He was raised by…." David froze. He looks at me. "Argh!" he said. He touches his head in pain. His nose bleeds. The crystal horn starts to grow out of his forehead. I hold his head. Water droplets starts to surround us. But, why…why. I hold his face, and in the back of my mind, I need to kiss him. David stops. "I….I…." said David. He closes his eyes. He snored. I smile, I put him close to me. Remembering few things, freaks me out. I hum my mother's song…David subconsciously moving as he hugs me. I lay my head on his head. "I remember…I remember everything…" said David as he was shaking.

16.) "Shhhh…." I said to him as I continue humming. David snuggles closer. "You remember too don't you?" asked David. "No." I said. David hug a little tighter. "I know you don't want to say it… Let's…let's take a rest…" I said. We sleep together. I woke up the next morning. The Village was covered in mist.

17.) I walk around. The people are standing in the place. Looking at me. "My dear child… I did not know you are here…" they all said in a monotonous voice. "Dear child, why are you here? Visiting your father?" asked them. "Father? My dad was back in…" I said. The mists full covers everything, like a solid smoke. Then Dad was there. He has gray hair, gray skin and black eye in a black tuxedo, made of shadowy smoke. "Look…I promised Victoria, to erase your memories… Then, you are here…breaking…everything!" said my Shadowy dad as his pupils glow in red. His ears are sharp, he has 3 horns. He has black leaves as shadowy branches sprouts on his back.

Eizen!!!

18.) Mom?! I look back. I look in front, THAT DAD was gone. There are no mists. Instead, a flower field. I look at the mirror, my ears are sharp, leaves and fae lilies grows in my hair. 3 emerald horns was growing out like a crown, with a long moth antennae, I spread my wings. Then, there is this Giant one horned White Wolf with bloody fangs and dead people on his feet, He looks at me. He howls as the mists rushes to us

I woke up.

19.) I open my eyes and look at David resting in my bosom. I laugh a little. "What a fever dream." I rest my chin toward's David's head. Bernard was sitting in the chair, in the terrace. I slowly crawl away from David. "So… You are awake…" he said. "I am… Tell me, why are you here?" I asked him. "Listen… I had no idea… why you came back. I already told Jonas, you should not go back here… But, here you are… I really did try to snatch you away…" said Bernard as he appears before me in a strong forceful gust of air. Somethings….not right. "E.J…." I said "I vaguely remember… Who you are…" said Bernard as he goes out. E.J. goes inside.

20.) "Sorry, but…This is Nothing personal…" said E.J. as he snaps his Finger Bernard, flicks my forehead, enough to knock me out.

The next thing I knew, I woke up inside a cave, with lots of fae lilies. E.J. goes in front of me, as,THAT Dad…. The shadowy one, emerge from E.J.'s Shadows, gray skin, gray hair, shadowy tuxedo and branches on his back with very sharp ears, He looks a lot like my Dad but Black leaves are falling out, sharp ears and red pupils. "I'm sorry my daughter… you need to sleep…" said E.J.
