Dangerous

Kurai went out to the garden and saw Skylar is hiding behind a tree. He approached quietly and when he was about to scare her, he noticed that she was closing her eyes, and resting on it. He didn't want to interrupt her so he quietly move in front of her.

Kurai silently uses his hand to brush off her hair that was dangling in front of her face. His fingers traced down her face, moving from her forehead to her chin, admiring her beauty. Kurai was immersed in it when suddenly Skylar's eyes snapped open.

"?!" Kurai got shock not because of her waking up, but because Skylar's eyes have change. It was supposed to be a pair of ruby red eyes, but the eyes that he's looking now are a pair of golden eyes, with pupils like an animal. Her eyes show no sense of kindness, only rage and danger in them. "Skylar?" Kurai asked carefully, making sure that both of his arms are in front of him, showing that he doesn't have any weapons. Skylar glared at him, when she opened her mouth to speak, Kurai noticed that she have fangs. "How dare you touch me, you stupid man thing?" Skylar's voice was filled with rage as she hiss. "Don't you have any manners at all?" Seeing that Kurai had no response, she then continues, "You have the courage to touch me, but not the courage to speak up?"

...

Kurai was speechless at the scene before him. The mortal that he brought back, the one that he just kissed, suddenly turned into something different and dangerous. It's just like the Skylar in front of him is a stranger. Seeing that Skylar is still waiting for his reply, he decided to try to bring her to her room. "Don't you remember me, Skylar? It's me, Kurai." Kurai talks while approaches her slowly. Unfortunately, Skylar noticed it and back away, "Stay where you are." Kurai stopped soo slightly and gave her a reassuring smile. "I'm not here to hurt you, Skylar. I just wanted to bring you back to your room." Kurai then tried again. Skylar narrowed her eyes, but didn't stop him when he holds her hand. "Come on, let's go."

Kurai brought Skylar back to her room, and when she's not looking, he immediately use his magic to make her unconscious. He then placed her nicely on top of the bed and exited the room. Her Grace saw that Kurai is troubled and asked him the problem.

"Mother," Kurai paused, "I think that Skylar is far more dangerous than we think."
