Chapter 34 ( Just a dream )

Natalia's POV

I couldn't sleep, I keep thinking about Rowan, should I tell him, how will he react, the woman he likes is some common girl from the future, he probably won't trust me anymore. moving the bedsheets off me I got out of bed and made my way out of the room. it was past midnight, and the only people awake were the guards. will Rowan still be awake I thought to myself, why was I even going to his room, what do I want to say to him, I had no idea but I found myself walking? I was suddenly interrupted by a shadow that passed, immediately I followed to find out who it was, not caring if he was a criminal that could hurt me. I took the same turn that I went and saw a man was dressed in black, he had a mask so I could not see his face, he stood at the other end of the hallway staring at me, I could not see his eye but I could feel it was on me, it felt like he was looking into my soul and I felt my body hair raising " who are you " I asked, he didn't reply. slowly he turned his back and started walking away, walking into the dark and I found myself following him, I was curious, I wanted to know who this guy was, what was he doing here, what does he wants, I was curious. it was dark but I could see how? I thought

He suddenly entered a dark room and I followed, the moment I stepped in the door closed behind me " shit " I tried opening it but it was no use, it was locked. the room was cold, very cold and empty, he stood at the window side looking at the sky " who are you " I asked again hoping to get an answer this time " who are you and why are you walking around like that " he didn't reply. the room was getting colder and I could not take it any more, I reached for the door and tried opening it again but it was pointless " let me out " I yelled but he still didn't reply, still struggling with the door I began to panic, the room was not too cold, slowly the walls of the room began to freeze " oh shit, let me out " he still didn't reply, he stood like a statue " hey " I yelled, at this point the entire room froze and my body was beginning to shiver. please, I struggle to walk up to him " hey " I reached out to touch him and I regretted it, his body was already frozen " shit" moving away from him, I suddenly fell on my knees begging for warmth, I cuddled my self " please stop " I begged. slowly he turned to face me " please "

" It is time to wake Aguya " the moment he said does words I was taken by overwhelming heat and could not stop myself

" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" screaming and the entire room was on fire. I found myself waking up with fear and shock, " ha, ha, ha " panting and looking around to find out that I was still in my room in bed, and I was relieved " it was just a dream" I whispered " just a dream "

******************************

Ella was adjusting my bed I sat in front of my breakfast with no appetite, was I lost in thought I could not stop myself from the thing about last night's dream, it was a message I could feel it but what kind of message was that " are you alright" I was suddenly pulled out of my thoughts by Ella who gave a concerned look

" am yeah, am fine " didn't look like she believed me but she didn't ask any further questions. humming as she went back to work, it was strange because I have never seen her do so " you sound happy" I said

" I am " she replied still on her work

" why " with an eyebrow raised

" because" she stopped, I watch her come and take a seat next to me " you already won the game " rolled my eyes, I should have known

" whatever, but what kind of game is this anyway, apart from the first day we did nothing more, " I said

" as I said the other day, everything you do is part of the game, it is not like doing a race. the aim is to win the prince's heart, so it is more like trying to seduce him, and no girl has ever succeeded, people thought that it was because they were not beautiful enough but now I see that he likes girls like you "

" When you say girls like me what do you me " crossing my arm

" I mean girls who are simply and don't care, free girls like you " I smiled at her words " all we have to do is wait for the king to wake and you will be married to him " my heart ached at her words, if only she knows

" Yeah, whatever, " I said

" you say that but I know you are happy, you two will be happy together I can see it like you are made for each other," she said as she stood up and went back to work

" Ella " I called

" yes? "

" I will be back I need to see Amelia" she nodded, and I left

I was on my way to Amelia's room when I ran into her and Colin, the moment they saw me they stopped holding hands and I smiled, they were so cute " princess Natalia" He was surprised

" Hey " I greeted " I hope I am not interrupting anything," I asked

" what " Colin was confused while Amelia blushed " what could you be interrupting " I shrugged at his question

" I don't know?"

" it's nothing," Amelia said calmly

" well it looks like something to me," I said knowing I was making them uncomfortable" I will just go and leave you two to get back to whatever, " I said

" No, it's nothing," Colin said and I rolled my eyes

" Yeah, yeah whatever, " I said and began walking away " have fun," I said waving my hand

"it's not like that " Colin said again but I ignored him

I wanted Amelia to take me to the Library but now that she was busy I have to go by myself
