This is too much

As the door shuts behind me I turn, looking to this massive room. Straight infront of me was a massive deep blue bed and matching end tables with my bag before the bed. With only one door on the wall along with dressers and it's massive mirror. I think "I'm guessing there's a theme here." I walk towards the door as I unzip my dress the straps fall over my shoulders. I open to door to find a toilet and tub yet. I look up to find a sliver circle coming out the wall and arches out and above the tub. My eyes widen as I step to the tub reaching up to touch to silver.

When Knock! Knock!

I spin around as the door opens I hear "Miss Elliane?" Latia steps into view as she continues "it's been brought to my attention that you need help." As she steps into the room I grip my dress tightly. Latia walks to the tub as she instantly kneels. I slightly step back as she turns the clear nobs, water floods out. I ask "why would I need help?" Latia grabs a sliver piece as she pulls it up water floods out the silver above us. I gasp as I ask "how?" Latia stood as she responds "human technology, called pipes." I ask "pipes?" Latia nods and she turns as she says "this is a towel to dry yourself." Latia points to a fuzzy blue sheet on the wall. I think "towel?" I ask "why isn't it called sheet?" Latia responds "humans have different names for things it's quite cute if you think about it." Latia walks to the door as she adds "I'll get you a clean dress alright." I respond "thank you." Latia looks to me and she smiles before leaving. As I hear the door shut I think "she is very kind."

I clench my fist and finish undressing. I slowly step into the tub as I stare at the water falling from above. I reach out, touching the warm water and I smile as I step into the water. I think "my goodness," as water pours over me.

Soon I step out the restroom with this "towel" wrapped tightly around me. I think "this is just a shorter robe." As water drops off my soaking wet hair suddenly the door opens. Zin steps in holding something black as he shouts "couldn't just put it on the dresser?" As Laicy shouts back "you brought her here," the door shuts. Zin finally turns fully to see me. My eyes widen as Zin slightly blushes he could only say "I,- sorry," before dropping the black cloth and dashing out the doors. I could feel my face burning as I walk to the black cloth.

After putting on a black dress and my new flats, I quickly dry my hair. As I stop before the door I let out a breath glancing to my bracelet. Instantly a small red flower pops out making me smile.

I think "alright everything is fine, I can do this."

I open the door stepping out to see Zin leaning against the wall beside my doors. Zin says "I apologize Elliane I thought you would still be in the,-" I interrupt Zin by saying "it's alright I know you wouldn't do anything." Zin's eyes widen as he looks to me, I smile and step towards him. Zin instantly turns walking down the hall and I quickly follow. Zin is walking quite fast and it makes me think "this feels familiar."

Soon we step into the dinning hall and I follow Zin to our seats yet this time he pulls the chair out for me as he slightly blushes. I smile and sit when Zin pushes the chair back in. I couldn't help but blush as Zin sits beside me. With trays already before us Zin grabs a glass putting it to his mouth. I open the tray to see different color balls. I grab a green ball and bite into it. My eyes widen as I think "this is so good." Zin clears his throat and he asks "so how was you're day?" My eyes widen as I smile I respond "just wonderful, thank you so much Zin because of you so much has happened for me." Zin replies "is that so? I only healed you're leg." I respond "yes but you saved my father, explain things I never thought I would know and I got to see my real,-" I stop midsentence as my eyes widen Zin instantly asks "you're real what?" I gasp as I look down I respond "nothing," and grab a red ball. When Zin grabs my wrist. I look to Zin and he says "this whole time you have been nothing but honest to me Elliane I actually appreciate that but you just lied to me." I ask "how could you know that?" Zin replies bluntly "you think my wolf is lying to me?" My eyes widen as I ask "my wolf?" Zin responds "tell me the truth." As I look down I reply "I've heard that before." Zin's eyes widen and he responds "you haven't."

Suddenly the doors burst open as Laicy strolls in. Laicy gasps as she asks "Am I intruding?" Before Zin could even open his mouth Laicy responds "great." Laicy walks around the table and Zin asks "is Al coming?" Laicy responds "everyone is coming." Zin's eyes widen as he replies "everyone?" Laicy sits one seat over from Zin as she responds "yes." Zin clears his throat as he glances to me.

I quickly look down to my dish as I think "who is everyone?"

As I continue eating a loud echo comes from the door. Laicy sighs and Zin sips from his drink. The doors fly open as men and women flood in. My eyes widen as the room is filled with talking, laughter and shouting, everyone takes their seats. With the only two empty seats besides me and one beside Zin, the room is now completely filled with chatter.

I think "it's quite loud in here, I will be honest they came at the perfect time." I glance to Zin to find him glancing at me.

I smile and suddenly Zin clears his throat as he sets his drink down he suddenly shouts "enough!"

The room fell silent and I look around, mostly everyone has animal-like ears and tails yet some don't, mostly all were now looking straight down. I think "this is, Zin's pack!" Laicy laughs, braking the silence as she says "goodness Zin look how you scare them, calm down their mostly excited you haven't been here." Zin responds "you have been taking my place I see no difference." Laicy's eyes widen and Zin eats. As the doors fly open to show Latia pushing a rather large cart filled with trays followed by a person with short black hair and green eyes with animal-like ears and even a tail coming out his pants. This person was guiding Al as they talk. I look around to see everyone quite as Zin eats. Latia starts setting trays on the table with the help of the person with her. I look down to my tray and Zin asks "is it not good?" My eyes widen as I could feel eyes on me. I quickly respond "no, of course it is." Zin bluntly replies "then why aren't you eating?" I gasp and slowly grab a pink ball. Soon Latia sits beside me as she smiles to me. I smile and Latia says "hello I'm Latia." I respond "hi I'm Elliane." Latia opens a tray before her as she starts to eat. I think "this is nice." Suddenly Zin pushes his chair back as he states "I'll be back." As Zin walks to the door I watch him hopelessly.

My eyes widen as I think "what am I doing?"

I look down to the table before grabbing more food which I quickly eat. I slip out my chair and walk to the door. I push the door open as I look around. I turn looking to the door to see Laicy staring me down as the door shuts. I clench my fist and turn walking down the hall.

I think "what should I do? I should stay away from Zin right?"

I stop walking as I sigh I think "I don't know what to do!" I turn down a hall and pass the darken hall. My eyes widen as I spin around staring down the hall. My heart skips a beat as I think "what if I went to see him again?"

I clench my fist as I think "but why did he push me away to." I take a step when someone clears their throat stopping me. I spin around to see Zin as he asks "you weren't going down there huh?" My eyes widen as I ask "what? Why would I?" Zin eyes me making me look away. As Zin walks to me my heart beats, almost out my very chest. I slightly step back when suddenly Zin grabs my chin as he states "I thought I said "this hall was off limits?" I pull my chin back instantly as my face burns I clear my throat. Zin turns as he asks "would you like me to show you to you're room?" I nod, not able to say a single word. Zin walks down the hall and I follow. As I keep my distance I fumble with my fingers. Soon we stop before the door and I instantly reach for the door. Zin asks "why didn't you answer me?" I respond I have no idea what you're speaking of." Zin smirks and I say "good night Zin." Zin replies "good night Elliane." I step into the room when Zin asks "Elliane would you like to join me for breakfast tomorrow?" I pause as I think "this is harder than I thought." I turn as I respond "no I actually wanted to go see Nile." Zin nods as he replies "alright sleep well." I shut the door as I think "so much harder than I thought." I turn walking to the bed, I kick off my flats and I instantly drop onto the bed.

I sigh as I think "beds are so cold now."

I turn in the bed as I shut my eyes I think "well it's over now he shouldn't be having to deal with me now, I'm all healed." I slowly drift off, darkness consuming everything.

I awake to a loud thump!

I gasp as I push myself up. Seeing the empty bed slightly hurts as for some reason I miss his presence.

I think "ah no!"

I stand, fixing my dress then lightly fixing my hair. I step forward slipping on my flats then to the door. As I pull the door open I slowly peek out. I step into the hall quietly closing the door before rushing down the hall. I think "I remember exactly where it is!" I turn down a corner and turn once more. With the darken hall before me, breathing heavily I slowly step forward. When suddenly the woman I saw go into the green portal steps out. My eyes widen as the woman walks across the hall she steps into a blue portal. I think "should I?"

I look down to my hands as my heart hurts I slowly step back when Zin says "Nile isn't over there." I gasp as I spin around to see Zin. Zin stops not far before me and I grab a lock of my hair as I say "I must have gotten lost." Zin replies "is that so?" I think "he knows I'm lying." I respond "of course I was looking for the marketplace but I believe I went the wrong way." I walk down the hall just passing Zin as he says "more like two wrong turns?" I laugh slightly as respond "I guess so." I could hear Zin's footsteps behind me and I sigh as I spin around I ask "what are you doing here?" Zin replies "I thought I heard someone sneaking into the off limit hall." My eyes widen as Zin walks pass me he continues "if you were looking for Nile you would find him asleep because it's still night time in the safe zone." I think "what?" I turn as I reply "I thought it was morning." Zin stops walking as he responds "truth." I ask "excuse me?" Zin turns slightly looking to me as he responds "you know what I'm talking about Elliane." My eyes widen as I reply "I don't." Zin's eyebrow raised making me instantly look down as I think "his eyes!" I sigh and Zin states "this way." I look up to see Zin walking off. I slowly follow as I think "I can't believe it's still night." Once Zin stops I look to my door as I say "well I'm sure I won't get lost again." Zin replies "I'm sure you will." I glance to Zin to see him smirking at me. I turn reaching for my door when Zin states "you're book is still in my room." I stop as I turn slightly to see Zin walking into his room, leaving the door open. I walk to the door, peeking in as Zin grabs my book off his dresser. He turns saying "maybe tomorrow, when it's actually morning and maybe after you see Nile we could read the book." My eyes widen as my face burns I step in as I respond "maybe." Zin smiles as he stops before me he holds out my book. I grab my book as Zin asks "why aren't you talking to me?" I gasp as I respond "what do you mean I,-" Zin replies "don't lie to me." My eyes widen and I could only say "I uh,-" when Zin grabs my chin as he lightly pushes it up he states "tell me Elliane." My face is burning intensely as my heart skips a beat. I instantly turn run out the door and into my room.

As the door shuts behind me I lean against it. Breathing heavily, my heart racing, the Kani bird in my stomach wanted out and finally as tears collect at my eyes I think "I can't tell him because." Tears stream down my cheeks as I fall to my knees I think "why do I feel like this from Zin? If he knew," I clench my fist as I think "because he would just see me as a monster just like my whole town and now just like my real father." I sob as I think "Zin can't know, I can't take him seeing me like this." I sob until completely darkness.

Knock! Knock! Wakes me as I gasp.

I'm still laying on the floor and push myself up.

Knock! Knock!

I look up to the door as I stand. I open the door to see Nile. Nile smiles as he says "Elliane." I gasp, dashing forward and throwing my arms over his shoulders. Nile laughs and he responds "look at you on both feet," as he tightly hugs me. I reply "yes I'm all healed." As Nile let's me go I step back seeing his bright smile making me feel better.

Much better.

I smile and ask "what are you doing here?" Nile responds "Actually I had breakfast with Zin then came here." I reply "really?" Nile nods as he responds "yes though he is busy with work now so he did have to leave." I respond "well no more health duty as he called it." Nile replies "I'm glad you're all healed." I smile more as I reply "me to." Nile asks "would you like to take a walk with me before we eat?" I respond "yes I would love that." Nile smiles as he grabs my hand, leading me down the hall. I comment "I was actually hoping to see you today." Nile replies "really?" I respond "yes." Nile says "well I think that's quite funny, perfectly timed huh?" I smile and respond "yes it is." Nile pushes the door open as he replies "the marketplace is quite nice." I ask "really? Do you like it?" Nile responds "of course it's very peaceful." I reply "I'm sure it is." Nile looks around the marketplace as I stare at him I think "he really loves it here." I ask "how is it at the doctors office?" Nile responds "just wonderful Elliane I'm learning so much I've almost filled up a book alone." I smile more as I reply "that's amazing Nile." Nile smiles to me as he pulls me he states "I want to show you something." I smile, following Nile.

Soon Nile stops before a shop which is the nymph's food shop. I look to the table to see the different color balls yet now beside it was fruit. My eyes widen and Nile explains "theses fruits are made by nymphs who also make the food so I thought you would be able to eat it." I smile as Nile let's my hand go he grabs a red fruit with a dark green stem. As Nile holds it out I grab it and ask "what fruit is this?" Nile smiles as he grabs another one he responds "strawberry." I think "alright." I bite into the strawberry and my eyes widen as I think "oh my goodness." I say "this is so delicious!" Nile responds "right? I thought you would like it." Nile bites into the strawberry and I smile before eating the rest of mine. Nile finishes it but keeps the stem as he grabs a paper cup putting different fruit into it. Nile turns as he says "don't eat the stem." I laugh and respond "I know." Nile hands me a cup of fruit and I smile as I continue to eat. As Nile puts more fruit into another cup I hold up a red/purple fruit as I ask "what's this?" Nile responds "grapefruit." I bite into it and gasp as I respond "this is to good." Nile replies "you have been missing out." As Nile turns eating fruit out his cup he guides me. I smile and respond "I really have been." Nile laughs and I hold up a orange fruit as Nile responds "orange slices, it's peeled and cut like the grapefruit." I think "whoa?" As I bite into it I smile and say "fruit is good." Nile responds "it is." As Nile looks to me he smiles brightly before putting a orange slice into his mouth. I hold up a small purple ball and Nile opens in his mouth to show the orange slice. I burst out into laughter as I quickly grab a orange slice and put it in my mouth. As I open my mouth to show the orange Nile cracks and beings to laugh. As we both laugh Nile clears his throat and says "sorry I had to but the one you held up is grapes." I smile more and ask "this one?" As I hold up a grape Nile responds "yes." I eat it and think "this is so much fun." I look up to Nile seeing him with a grapefruit in his mouth instantly making me laugh. Nile asks "how are you feeling Elliane?" I respond "great." Nile replies "oh no I mean do you like it here?" My eyes widen and I think "of course you do but I like this place for different reasons." I open my mouth to say- when suddenly screams echo through out the marketplace. As I look before us I see everyone running pass us. I think "what happened?" Nile drops his fruit cup as he grabs my arm he shouts "come on Elliane!" Instantly I think "Zin!" I gasp as I pull my arm, dropping my cup and dashing forward. Nile screams "Elliane!"

I kept running to the scream as Nile shouts after me. My heart is beating so fast when I finally see it before me a brown haired man with red eyes stepping in holding a chain. Before him was a woman with blonde hair and green eyes, she even has animal-like ears with a slight notch in her left ear, along with her tail she has a thick collar around her neck as chains pool around her bare bloody feet. My eyes widen as Laicy suddenly dashes out from the right punching the man. The man drops the chain instantly the woman dashes forward to only collapse not far to the right. As Laicy stood over the man she screams, kicking him in his stomach before he suddenly jumps onto her. Laicy falls back and instantly I dash forward yet someone grabs my hand. I turn to see a furious Zin. Zin states "go, now Elliane." I couldn't respond as Zin instantly runs forward but the blow back pushes me back. I shut my eyes as I step back slightly. I slowly open my eyes to see a man being pushed out the door, he had blonde hair and blue eyes with only one animal-like ear and same collar. Behind him was a woman with black hair and red eyes. My eyes widen as I think "vampires?" Zin instantly crashes into the woman kicking her in her stomach making her fly out the door. As the man in chains falls to his knees Zin turns to the man with Laicy. As Laicy was fighting the man he suddenly locks a collar around her neck. Laicy screams and Zin screams "no Laicy!" Laicy steps back as she grew brown fur spreads across her body. Laicy grew into a brown wolf with green eyes yet suddenly the collar opens up, grabs at her jaw pulling it open. Zin instantly dashes to Laicy as he steps on the metal, pulling at her jaw, and pushing her down completely. Laicy whimpers as the man stood he yells "you can't stop it, she is dead." Zin grunts as he pushes the metal down he shouts "I'm not losing you too!" The man steps to Zin and instantly Zin punches at him yet the metal snaps up slightly making Laicy scream. Zin steps down harder pushing the metal to the stone floor as he yells "enough!" As the man gets up we make eye contact making me gasp. The man shouts "you!" I gasp as Zin turns slightly he yells "Elliane run now!" The man laughs as he dashes forward, around Zin and straight to me. Zin shouts "no!" Zin grabs the collar as he grunts pulling at it. Finally the collar snaps and Laicy instantly turns back to herself. Zin turns to see the man not far infront of me. I could only step back slightly as I scream putting my arms up and suddenly-
