Oh dear what is wrong with me?

*As I awake suddenly I hear screaming. I gasp as I sit up to see the massive well before me. When I hear Inakta yell "Nile!" I look down to see younger Nile tightly hugging me as he says "I'm here Elliane, it's Nile." I gasp as I look around to see children around like Liam, Sult even Qarizan. I turn again to see Anazar besides me crying.*

I gasp, suddenly I awake sitting up to see the massive doors before me. As I clench my fist I breath heavily, Zin grabs my hand and asks "are you okay?" I turn to see Zin barely sitting up as he pushes his hair back. I let out another breath and respond "yes." Zin asks "are you sure?" I nod and Zin sighs as he says "I'm sorry Elliane." I ask "why?" Zin turns getting off the bed and he replies "I should have mention I could see nightmares if there strong enough." My eyes widen and I say "I have no idea why that came to me." Zin glances to me before walking to the door, pulling it open.

As the door shuts I think "why was I even thinking of that."

I let out a breath before laying back, my face scrunches up as tears collect at my eyes I think "I know exactly why I thought of that day, that's when everyone saw me more differently."

I clenched my fist, raising my hands looking to them as I think "it already happened Zin saw how my own people see me."

As tears flood out my eyes I think "why does it matter to me if Zin sees me like this?"

Suddenly the door opens and I hear Nile say "thank you Zin." Zin responds "of course." The door shuts and I sit up seeing Nile walking to the bed. I sigh as I look away. Nile sits on the end of the bed as he asks "do you want to talk to me?" I softly respond "Zin sees me as a monster now." Nile responds "he told me what he saw, not that he saw you as a monster." I sniff and ask "then why did he bring you here?" Nile responds "he thought you needed someone to talk to." My eyes widen as I look to Nile I ask "what?" Nile replies "his exact words were I need you to make sure she is okay." I couldn't help but blush as I smile looking down. I think "he went to get me help." Nile says "you seem much better." I respond "thank you Nile I just got worried." Nile smiles and asks "may I assume you care about Zin?" I look up as I respond "no, just embarrassed." Nile chuckles as he stands he says "well then everything does seem fine so I must go I have a lot of work." I smile more and respond "thanks Nile." Nile smiles at me before walking to the door, pulling it open. The door shuts and I think "he left so fast to get Nile."

I smile as I place my hand on my chest.

When the door opens I look to see Zin, before I could say a word his furious face freezes me. Zin marches straight up to me and instantly picks me up over his shoulder. My eyes widen as I ask "what are you doing?" Zin walks to the door, pulling it open and kept walking. I gasp as I push myself up I say "Zin!" Zin kept walking completely ignoring me, I sigh and ask again "what are you doing?"

When Zin pushes doors open as he steps into the marketplace. I gasp and I say "ah don't hold me like this!" Suddenly Zin pulls me back over his shoulder, holding me in his arms. I couldn't help but blush and I ask "where are we going?" When Zin finally stops walking I turn to see everyone was holding flowers and different types of plants. My eyes widen as I ask "what is going on?" Zin responds "today is flower day, to honor the fallen." I smile and reply "that's very kind." Zin softly sets me down as he says "I need to tell you something Elliane." I look up to Zin as he looks away he continues "today is the last day you have to stay with me, the curse is braking so probably will finish after a nap." I smile as I ask "really?" Zin smiles as he responds "yes you can also decide if you wish to stay in my place or with Nile." My smile fades as Zin turns he adds "you can stand on you're leg now."

I look down as I think "good news yet why do I wish he didn't say it."

I clench my fist when suddenly a flower appears infront of my face. I look up to see Zin holding out a deep blue flower as he smiles. I grab the flower as I say "thank you." Zin responds "of course." I look to the flower and say "thank you for everything Zin." Zin responds "don't thank me yet the curse isn't broken." I reply "I'm sure it will." Zin's eyebrow raised and he smirks. My eyes widen and I push Zin lightly as I say "anyways." Zin grabs my hand as he pulls me off through the crowd. Zin's hand makes me blush as my heart flutters like a trapped Kani bird.

Finally Zin stops before a large table filled with flowers. Zin explains "most people, we couldn't find there bodies so we do this in memory of them." I clenched my fist and softly add the flower, making all the flowers perk up. My eyes widen as I instantly say "I'm sorry." Zin responds "why? this looks beautiful." I couldn't help but blush as Zin places his flower he smiles and adds "most people put one as they think of someone who passed but it's nice to honor them." I ask "do you think of someone?" Zin glances to me and smiles more as he responds "yes, my mother." My eyes widen as I reply "I'm deeply sorry Zin." Zin responds "no no don't be I don't talk about it so." I grab Zin's hand as I look away I could feel his eyes on me. Suddenly Zin pulls me off again through the crowd. I gasp as Zin stops, just before us was a group of fairy's and orcs dancing, even humans. As I look around the crowd I notice a tiny rock person. I think "wow so many different creatures." Zin asks "do you like to dance?" I respond "uh well I've never really danced, only that one time when." I stop as I look up to Zin. Zin looks at me confused until his eyes widen and then they slightly close.

I think "oh dear I shouldn't have said that."

Suddenly Zin grabs my hand pulling me into the dance circle. I gasp as Zin pulls me close, I couldn't help but just blush as he spins me. Once Zin stops spinning me I'm in his arms and in this moment the fast music stops. My eyes widen and Zin turns, looking around. As light music starts a fairy shouts out "couples dance!" I laugh and say "we really don't have to." Zin asks "why not? Do you have a partner?" As my face burns I ask "are you serious? Don't you have a partner?" Zin's eyebrow raised and he spins me again. My spinning comes to a end as my back hits Zin's chest he whispers in my ear "if I did, I don't think she would like that I've been sleeping with you in my very bed." My eyes widen as my face and neck feels hot. Zin spins me again, pulling me into his chest as I think "what do I even say?" Zin held my waist tightly as he guides me he clears his throat before saying "not bad for someone who doesn't know how to dance." I smile and reply "well you know how to lead werewolf." Zin smirks and responds "well what about you, you didn't answer my question." I respond "well you didn't answer mine." Zin replies "oh but I did, I said if I did." I nod and say "alright alright you did, but no I don't have a partner I believe I've mentioned that the first time we met." Zin smiles as he says "ah yes that's right I thought you were the vampires wife." I laugh and correct Zin with "wifey." Zin nods and says "alright alright, it was only because of the mark." I let out my laughter and I respond "well I think it's quite funny now." Zin was still smiling and his cheeks slightly turn red, I couldn't help but finally say "you're blushing werewolf." Zin's eyes widen as he instantly states "you've been blushing more elf." I laugh and ask "oh so are we going there?" Zin smirks and asks "what do you think you have elf?" I smile and lean forward, just besides Zin left ear, as I softly whisper "the second book in the library wasn't a language book." I lean back seeing Zin just as his eyes widen, they also close slightly and he smiles showing this teeth slightly. My eyes widen as my heart flutters Zin responds "well you got me elf." Zin lightly grabs my chin, gently pushing it up as he leans forward.

I think "Is Zin going to kiss me?"

I could feel my face burning and I shut my eyes when Zin whispers in my ear "what did you think I was going to do elf?" My eyes widen as I lightly push Zin I look away. Zin adds "well looks like i got you back princess." I gasp and respond "elf is better than princess." Zin replies "well we don't always get to pick that now do we princess?" Zin smirks and I couldn't take it anymore my burning face, melting heart and the loose wild kani bird in my stomach won't stop fluttering.

I look down as I think "what's wrong with me? Why does he have this effect on me?"

Zin spins me once more before ending with us apart. As I think "finally." Zin grabs my hand as he says "thanks for the dance princess." Zin brings my hand to his mouth and lightly kisses it. My eyes widen and Zin looks to me as he smiles letting my hand go, yet it stays in the air due to me being completely frozen. I gasp and push my hair back as I look down to the stone.

Zin suddenly grabs my arm as he pulls me off. I ask "where are we going?" Zin stops as he looks around to shops he responds "I never gave you shoes because I have to carry you, after our nap you will be able to walk so you need shoes."

I couldn't even say anything and Zin pulls me off again. Zin finally stops before a small shop with different shoes. Zin kneels before pretty heels as he asks "do you like these?" My face scrunches up and I respond "what about these?" I point to small rectangular shaped flats which looks like it has a tiny wrap around the rectangular part. Zin's eyes widen and I kneel grabbing one, my eyes widen and I instantly put it back down. Zin asks "what's wrong?" I respond "there to big." Zin looks to the shoe before looking to my feet yet my dress pools around me. Zin pushes my dress up and I gasp as I slap Zin's hand. When a woman gasps, I look up to see a small human with brown hair and blue eyes. Zin's eyes were wide open and I say "it's a habit I,-" Zin suddenly leans forward, only a inch away from my face, and he states "I've seen more up you're leg elf calm down." I could help but blush and instantly look down when Zin suddenly reaches under my dress, grabbing my ankle and pulling my leg out from under me. I gasp as I fall back I put my arms out, I say "I could have done this myself." Zin grabs a flat as he asks "then why aren't you?" Zin places a flat on my foot which dangles, I couldn't help but laugh and he looks to me. My eyes widen and I say "sorry it's just you really thought that would fit, there quite big." Zin's eyes slightly close when the human says "these are the smallest ones I make alpha," as she held out a paper bag. Zin peeks into the bag and I think "does everyone call him alpha?" Zin pulls out small rounded black flats. I smile as I reach foward Zin moves the first shoe then puts on the small flats which fit perfectly. I ask "how much?" The woman's eyes widen and Zin responds "I'll take them thank you." The woman says "of course thank you." I say "I have money in my bag." Zin drops the shoe back in the bag as he grabs it out the woman's hands. I ask again "uh how much?" Zin suddenly picks me up as he stands he states "you don't have money." My eyes widen as I ask "what do you mean?" Zin walks off as he responds "you don't have the money they take, but don't worry princess I got it." I ask "could I pay you?" Zin glances to me and says "alright I want to pick where we nap."

I think "oh dear no."

I ask "you mean in the tree huh?" Zin smiles as he responds "yes, is that a problem?" I respond "gold or silver won't do?" Zin asks "do you think I would drop you princess?" My face burns as I look down I say "no just that I really don't like being high up, I've already been up there twice." Zin responds "one of those was a deal so it shouldn't count." I sigh and reply "alright fine." Zin opens a door as he says "don't worry I won't drop you elf." I let out a breath as Zin smirks he corrects himself "oh I mean princess." My eyes widen as I ask "why do you have to say that name?" Zin asks "why do you hate that name?" My eyes widen and I respond "no reason." Zin's eyebrow raised and he responds "well I'll tell you why when you tell me why." I respond "well then I guess we will never know." Zin says "alright," as he looks forward. I sigh and ask "are you really not going to tell me?" Zin responds "I could ask you the same thing." I say "fine, well could you answer a different question?" Zin looks to me and I ask "does everyone call you alpha?" Zin looks forward as he explains "yes actually, every single human, orc, fairy or something straight out the book, I've saved them all so they look up to me." I respond "Zin that's amazing." Zin's eyes widen as he looks away he says "ah yeah I know." I smile and suddenly Zin runs as he jumps instantly I shut my eyes. I could feel the wind on me as Zin jumps.

Soon Zin sits leaving me on his lap. I open my eyes as I let out a breath I think "don't look down." Zin places the bag on the branch before pulling me forward to lay on his chest. With our faces inches apart Zin smirks as he says "last time princess." I could only blush when suddenly Zin put his hand over my eyes as he commands "sleep." Complete darkness along with quietness it felt nice. I could feel a hand firmly grip my waist and I slowly open my eyes to see I'm still on Zin yet he was asleep. My eyes widen as he looks so peaceful suddenly a lock of his hair falls forward, I slowly reach out, grabbing it lightly. I think "this whole time, theses feelings I've been feeling I know exactly what they are. Yet I can never admit this." I quickly bury my face into Zin's chest, drifting off.

As I lightly awake I feel Zin grab my waist and suddenly a lot of wind which wakes me entirely. Zin lands as he squeezes me I open eyes to see him looking forward. I ask "so is the curse gone?" Zin responds "I believe so but let's ask my father."

Soon Zin stops before a door as he knocks. The door opens and Al steps out as he says "oh hello Zin." When Laicy shouts "Zin?" Al's eyes widen as he responds "you got this Laicy I'll be right back." Al shuts the door and Zin says "I believe the curse is gone." Al replies "is that all?" Zin asks "well if you could check her leg for me?" Al nods and replies "alright how about this you help you're sister I'll take Miss Elliane to the tree, just to make sure it's completely gone." Zin responds "alright," as he softly sets me down, holding out the small bag. I grab the bag and open it pulling out my flats, I slip them on as I say "thank you." Zin responds "of course." As Zin smiles I blush when Al clears his throat. My eyes widen and Zin says "I'll meet you at the tree."

I nod and I turn to Al to see him already walking off. I run to Al as I softly fold the bag in my hand I then slide it into the top of my dress. I stop beside Al as I catch my breath. I glance to Al to see him smiling to me. My eyes widen and I ask "is everything okay?" Al looks forward as he responds "everything is wonderful." I think "his smile is so warm." I smile and look forward to see the massive room with the tree in the middle. As we step in Al let's out a breath and asks "well may I?" I nod and Al kneels as he softly places his hand on my left leg. I shut my eyes, fearing the worst, Al clears his throat and says "I'm glad to tell you the curse is broken." My eyes widen as I gasp I ask "are you serious?" Al stood straight as he responds "I never joke." I smile as I spin I think "yes finally!" I stop as it quickly fades I turn back to Al. Al was smiling and he asks "what is it?" I shake my head and respond "no nothing is wrong, thank you so much." Al turns and states "I knew there was no threat here, now wait for Zin dear." Al steps out as I softly smile I think "this is good, right?"

I look to the tree then down to my hands as I think "I guess I shouldn't be scared of my power after all." I clenched my fist when suddenly I hear heels echoing, I turn to see the woman, from the food stand, as she turns down the hall I run to the door. As I watch the woman I think "I can't believe I followed her, so stupi,- wait the food I can eat is nymph right so she is!" My eyes widen as I run down the hall after her.

As I look around I think "which way did she go?"

I turn seeing the woman wall down this darken hall. I say "excuse me." The woman turns stepping into the wall. My eyes widen and I run down the hall. I stop before this green circle on the wall.

I let out a breath as I think "what am I doing?"

I place my hand on the green circle for it to disappear. I gasp pulling my arm back I think "what is this?" I reach out touching the green circle instantly my hand disappears. My eyes widen and I step forward, leaning into the green circle to find I'm under a massive tree with water below me there was stones just peeking out the water.

I clenched my fist and step through, onto the stone. I look around to see the water stretching down further along with a stone path. I jump onto the next stone when thump! My eyes widen as I look forward I think "what was that?" I jump onto the next stone when suddenly I slip into the water. As I'm fully submerged I could see thick tree roots beneath me. My eyes widen and I swim up yet I can't brake out the water. I gasp letting out my air as I think "oh no!" As if there was a clear barrier just above the water, I sink down and think "what have I done!" I look down to the tree roots and my eyes widen. I swim down, reaching out my right hand for the root once my fingers touch it instantly a branch shot up taking me up. The branch ends just above the stones peeking out the water yet, I was still trapped in water with only my right hand out the water.

Suddenly a hand grabs my arm pulling me out the water and into the stone. I cough out water as a man asks "what portal did you come through?" I ask "portal?" As I look up to see a man with blue-black hair and brown eyes, with tiny bits of blue in his eyes. My eyes widen as I think "I've seen him before but where?" The man answers himself with "you're an elf so probably over here." The man steps over me, jumping to the next stone. I sit up as I remember when I exactly saw this man,

*As I run my fingers across it I suddenly see a flash of a man with blue-black hair and brown eyes*

I gasp as I push myself up, staring at the man. The man points to a blue circle in the tree as he asks "did you come through this one?"

I ask "Al?"

The mans eyes widen as he looks to me, it's as if he actually looks at me now because he looks speechless. I jump to the next stone as the man asks "Adaillene?" My eyes widen and the man reaches out as he stops he corrects himself "no, Elliane?" I smile and reply "yeah, it's me."

The mans eyes widen and suddenly he leans forward grabbing my waist. I gasp as the man picks me up over his shoulder I ask "what are you doing?" The man turns jumping to the next stone as he asks "what portal did you come through?" Instantly my mouth opens responding "the green one." My eyes widen as I hold my mouth I ask "how did you do that?" The man stops before the green portal and I grab onto him as I say "wait wait." The man mumbles "no you can't stay here, this is for you're own good." As the man lyfts me off his shoulder I shout "Atlas Leon!" The man freezes as our eyes meet he softly replies "Elliane Leon." I smile yet the mans light smile fades. My eyes widen as the man says "I'm deeply sorry." I could only say "wait!"

Before the man throws me into the green circle, I land abruptly on the cold stone. I groan as I push myself I think "what!" I look up to the green portal as I clench my fist. I stand, stepping towards the green portal when Zin shouts "Elliane!" I turn to see a furious Zin marching to me. Zin asks "why did you come this way? Are you soaking wet?" Zin grabs my shoulders and I ask "what is this?" Zin looks to the green portal and his eyes widen as he asks "did you go in this one?" As Zin looks to me I nod. Zin sighs and responds "that's the portal to the nymph's world." My eyes widen and instantly my mind races yet I'm pulled back by Zin grabbing my arm as he pulls me out the darken hall. Zin states "this place is off limits alright?" I ask "why?" For Zin to only give me a glare. I sigh and say "fine."

Zin kept pulling me until he stops before a door and he finally lets my arm go as he leans against the wall. I ask "what are we doing here?" Zin responds "waiting." I look down when the door behind me opens. I turn to see the person from the dining hall, she had long blonde hair and green eyes with animal-like ears and even a tail coming out her pants. Zin asks "what are you doing here Latia?" Latia responds "alpha? I'm doing what you told me to, well what Laicy told me to." Zin steps towards Latia as he says "I ask if you could get a room for Elliane and move her stuff." Latia nods as they opens the door more she replies "I did." Zin's eyes widen as he turns glancing to his bedroom door behind us he asks "why is is so close?" Latia responds "Laicy said you wanted her near you're room." Zin sighs and replies "thank you Latia that's all." Latia nods and leaves rushing down the hall. Zin sighs and says "if you wish to stay here this will be you're room, go clean up." I respond "thank you." I step towards the door as Zin states "I'll be back for you." I smile and step into the room.
