Escaped

Euna,

I woke up early in the morning as it was my turn to make breakfast. When i looked at my bed, i realized that i was not in my room. The room was very huge and neatly arranged. i was laying on thick mattress and my head was on a soft pillow. Suddenly last night's memories rushed through my mind. Last night, my head was spinning so, i didn't checked my surrounding. Did he really helped me? I was feeling uncomfortable to face him since from the last argument. I arranged the bed and i was about to leave but my bag was not in the bedroom.

What a trouble. It must be in the first room as i was sleeping there. But where is that room? I went to search the room. His house was very large and there were several rooms. It was really exhausting to find the bag but i didn't give up. Finally, there was one last room at corner. So, i went there making my footsteps as light as possible. I slightly opened the door and peeked inside. One man was sleeping on the bed and my bag was beside him. I slowly walked towards the bed and pulled my bag. To my horror, he grabed the bag and turned around. Erick?

He was looking peaceful and gentle while sleeping. What if he always look like this?

What am i even thinking? I brushed away my thoughts and gently pulled my bag. After my success, i immediately ran away to my home. Finally, i reached at home and i was surprised to see my parents at door. Their face were looking pale with worries. Ohh my god! What have i done? When they noticed me, both of them came running and hugged me tightly. I use to feel comfortable in their hug but they are making me breathless right now. I gently pushed them away and made innocent face.

"Where have you been whole night? Do you know how much you made us worried?" My mom shouted on my face.

"Sorry mom. Please don't be mad. I also didn't know when fell asleep at library. " I made the puppy face. I can't tell them that i was fainted. Otherwise, they will really get worried.

"How can you be so carefree? What if some naughty boys tried to ..." her voice broke down and suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears.

"Mom, please don't cry. I am fine okey? I will promise that i will never repeat it again" i tried to console her but i failed. Her tear freely fall down on her cheeks. Dad and i hugged her and after some minutes she clam down.

Erick,

I woke up and went to check on her. I was surprised to see the empty bed. It was nearly arranged. If i didn't remember letting her sleep here yesterday then i could have said that nobody had slept on this bed. She might be in washroom. I went to check there but she was not there. I searched her everywhere but i could not find her. Suddenly, i remembered about her bag so, i went to my room. Unfortunately, i could not find anything. So you ran away from here. Let me see how can you escape from me.

After having quick shower, i went at kitchen to have breakfast. Uncle Lang was sitting on sofa with newspaper in his hand. When he noticed me, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is that pretty girl?"

"I don't know uncle. She is not there in room so, she might have ran away before sun raise." I was really pissed off with her as i was planning to tell her truth.

"Ahh...poor girl. Don't know what might have happened to her" he sighed.

"Uncle, she was the person whom i have been searching for years and she is also the princess of moonlight family. I have been searching for that person and i didn't even know that she was right under my nose." i watched his expression but it was normal. Did he already know? I started to suspect him though he was not the person who care about other's business . " So, you had really peeled off her clothes. I never thought that it will be this fast" he smirked looking at me.

"Wh...at?" I rolled my eyes. Does he think that i am pe..vert? I shook my thoughts away. "It is not like what you are thinking uncle. She was having nightmares and when she moved, i accidentally saw the mark on her hip." I tried my best to hide other details.

"I want to ask favour from you uncle." I paused. "Please feel free to reach out to me.

If i can be of any help, do not hesitate to contact me" he said with a concern on his face.

"Actually she may not believe me if i told her about her family and Goddess of Universe . So, i wanted uncle to accompany me." I know that he will never reject my request but still then i showed him my puppy face. As expected, he agreed to help me and told me to bring her home some days.

I went to my room and transform into my true form. We dragons have the ability to teleport from one place to another without physically

traversing the space between us. It is one of the fastest way to reach at another place than flying. I wanted to meet with my father and talk about the mark and moonlight family. He might have the answers to my questions. So, i focused on my mental force to open the portal and a brief burst of light came to view. With a whispered incantation, the portal crackled to life but my energies were all drained out. Before i could enter to portal, it vanished with a brust of light leaving behind dark the room. How could it be? Why can't i open the portal? Is it because of not cultivating for longer durations? I sat on the bed and started to cultivate.
