Shouldn't have come here.

Soft touches. Incomprehensible whispering. Cold mist. I opened my eyes and found a blue creature hovering above me as his tail brushed my cheeks.

My heart pounded as I looked up at him, who had a curious expression on his face.

"Is there a problem?" I asked absentmindedly.

"I was wondering how you crossed my door" he replied

"There isn't any door" I exhaled.

"I want to know if you're my key, I feel a connection to you, it's unexplainable but unmistakable"

"Tell me your name," he commanded.

"He—ra" I instantly invented when I suddenly remembered the galaxy-eyed guy asking for my name.

"Show me your portal Hera" he cast and a cold mist erupted in my body then it traveled in no direction.

"There's none, but my mist is right there, you are a key but have no portal. I don't understand"

I looked away and was confused as to why there's still an effect even though I just invented the name?

We got interrupted when the mirror created a sound and a woman, or a deity went out through it.

She has fair skin, pointed ears but has no tail, eyes as dark as the night, and has to glitter like the stars. She's really beautiful.

"Ether" the blue guy called

"Was it her?" She asks with the voice of an angel.

"She is." the blue creature answered.

"No human has ever crossed my door without your consent, I don't think she's human" He added

The woman looked at me with cold eyes. I don't understand but I feel like she knows something.

"I'll do my investigation"  she stated as he walked past us and went outside the cage.

I turned to the blue guy but I already found him too close to me and staring at me suspiciously. I stared back at him and again his eyes dilated.

"Your eyes are beautiful" my mouth spoke on its own.

"We have the same color" he commented

"Not as pretty as yours" I replied and looked away. Staring at him is getting awkward.

" I don't usually ask this since I never used to have a woman in here but, you wanna eat?" He asked.

"What's your food? Was it edible for humans?"

"Yes or no is the answer, slave" he stated with a serious expression.

"Yes," I answered, again looking away from him.

He turned into mist and a second after there he is again holding a platter of fruits.

I picked the apple, orange, grapes, and pear and started eating them one after another.

He watched me. Closely. As I devour my food.

"You don't wear anything under" he spoke as his hand touched the cloth of my long skirt.

I cleared my throat and was inches away from him. He noticed and he lay his head on my lap like a cat that wants to be a pet.

It startled me and I momentarily pushed his head away from my belly.

"You're warm" he commented

"Yours is cold" I replied not meeting his gaze and started eating the grapes.

"Give me one" he demanded and I took one piece for him. I brought the grape into his mouth and he intentionally bit my fingers.

I nearly winced but prevented myself so he wouldn't gain any satisfying reaction from me.

This blue creature is flirtatious. And blunt enough to make it not so obvious. I shoved a grape in my mouth out of confusion.

"One more" he breathed and I took one again yet he got up and didn't take the grape in my hands.

His next action caught me off guard that all I did was stare at him with wide eyes.

He is taking the grape in my mouth. It kinda feels nasty but the way he does the process makes me feel like it isn't.

His cold eyes never left mine until I had the courage to barely push him away.

"This is so unusual. But you just kissed me. A not-so-average girl, I thought you're not attracted to me, but now you're acting all— my blabbering is interrupted when he pulled me and again did the same thing.

What's going on?

Was he doing this to gain some human energy? If kissing was his way to do it, then it shouldn't hurt me to give him some, besides he gave me food. He is a great guy.

I kissed him back slowly and I could feel him slowly deepening our contact. He is good. So good.

We stared at each other and felt the connection. I watched his swirling blue irises stop circling and just like the calm water, it actually looks like normal blue eyes.

He went down to kiss my neck, I was panting nervously as I realized that things are getting further.

But it feels good.

Not until Galaxy's eyes flashed in my head, and I watched him lick the skin of my belly.

A gasp left my throat as if some force prevented me from breathing, I pushed the blue guy away from me, not in a harsh way but in a calm manner. He stopped and shifted to look me in the eye.

"You're not ugly, you're actually getting prettier the longer I look at you" he stated in a low voice.

His statement blank my mind, and for the first time I believe those words coming out from him,

I looked away and released a heavy sigh. I want to swim.

"I'll go swim for a while"

"It's late at night," he said, still watching me.

"It's fine, I guess that's better" I replied and got up on the couch.

"I'll see you later" I bid and started to walk out.

"Make sure you come back" he stated but rather in a cold voice.

I nodded and finally got out.

The starry night and the perfect full moonlight the way to the calm ocean.

It's enticing.

I ran to the place where I hung my clothes to hang them right there again. I dipped my bareness in the water ignoring the coldness of the sea that sent a shiver in my system.

The moon is so bright and beautiful. and the stars look really magical—

"Come to my place when you're done"

I nearly jumped with the voice I heard behind my mind. Suddenly I noticed myself facing the vacant wall.

No. It couldn't be. How does he do that though?

Maybe I'm just imagining things.

I stayed on the water for a few more minutes and when the coldness had already become unbearable, I walked to the shore but it was twice colder than in the water.

I'm miserably trembling even when I finally get my clothes on and unfortunately unable to create a fire.

I need to go back with the blue guy— but his room is cold. I'm already cold.

I turned to the vacant wall and imagined his warm velvety blanket. I stood up and headed straight to that wall and went through it easily. There's the single-lit candle again.

I exhaled when the warm environment enveloped my body. I can't see him since it's all dark in this place again.

I walked forward and then bumped into something hard. I looked up when I smelled something else and I found gorgeous glowing galaxy eyes. Looked down at me straightly.

"You're betraying me" he stated. I looked away from him and headed to his bed. I felt his blanket and again smelled something else. The smell of fresh women's perfume. Immediately, I went away from the bed and sat on his couch.

"How'd you cross Karim's and Caelan's portal?" He asked with an angry tone

"There isn't any door"

"Were you planning to do it with anyone else!" He yelled and the atmosphere inside the room became dense. It makes it hard for me to breathe.

"Caelen would be better than you who only knows how to do things by force" I breathed and I felt the air completely vanish in the room and my lungs started to burn.

"I could see his traits lingering around your skin, do you give him your energy?" I heard him ask. I couldn't respond since the flow of air didn't supply my lungs.

I'm slowly losing my mind and so I stood up almost being pinned on the ground by how strong the pressure is but I reached for him begging him to fill me with some air.

I shouldn't have come here.

I'm getting light-headed and can't hold its weight so I end up leaning on his chest as my arms loosen their grip on his arm.

He's so cruel.

Tears streamed down my cheeks and I didn't want to let him see. So I closed my eyes preparing to die.

When the pressure started to become normal, a large intake of air was all I did as I finally dropped to the floor feeling exhausted.

Yet Again, the air ceased from the room but was way stronger than the last time that it felt like I'm being held by the neck.

I'm choking and wheezing out on the floor trying to pull some air but nothing is happening so I crawled, wanting to get out of this misery.

Then suddenly, the air once again reached my system.

He did the same a few more times until he was aware that my body had reached my limit. He never tells me words. He just looked at me with coldness and wrath.

I swear, I'm never gonna come back to this wall ever again.
