Fear
Ken sighed as she got ready for the day. She yawned tiredly and stretched her limbs. She smiled softly at her partner as he murmured in this sleep. At least one of us got some sleep. She thought it was adorable, despite how exhausted she felt. Ken stayed in her bed for a moment before getting out of bed.
Ken made her way to the bathroom and got ready. She stared at herself in the mirror and grimaced at the bags under her eyes. She sighed in disappointment. The sleeping pills didn't help at all. They managed to prevent her from actually sleeping, but not enough to give her a good night's rest.
Ken sighed as she wondered if she should tell Daisuke about her dreams. No. He has his own problems to deal with. Ken moaned at her lack of sleep. She needed rest. But she had work to do and horses to attend to.
With a sigh Ken exited the bathroom, got dressed, and left her room to go to the stables. Ken gazed at the sky as she closed the door behind her. The sunrise looks so beautiful, she thought as the sun rose into the sky with a flurry of colors. She could watch it for hours and hours. Ken felt a small smile grace of her features as she made her way to the stables.
A sigh left her as she noticed a letter taped to the door of her supply closet. Ken groaned, "Not another one."
Ken huffed as she pulled the letter off the door and glanced at it in annoyances.
Dear my white flower,
I watched you as you work on those animals with so much passion and heart. It just takes my breath away. I don't know how you can stand those beasts. You have so much more potential my lovely flower.
You are like no other. Strong, powerful, and very beautiful. You have so much grace and a kind aura around you. I can see this. No one will understand you like me. Not that boy that I see you with. That fledgling boy is nothing and will not make you happy or give you the life that you want.
Ken gritted her teeth and forced herself not to shred the paper into tiny pieces. The letter made her skin crawl. Ken didn't like being stalked and certainly didn't like it when someone insulted her boyfriend or her relationship with him.
I doubt he will survive the change. In fact, I am the only one who loves you. You will love me in turn and realize that our love is true. Until that day, I hold you in my dreams and remember I am watching.
Ken wished she hadn't read the letter. She was nervous and scared. This person had been watching her and confessing his obsession for her for months now. But she was scared. Not for herself, but for Daisuke.
The boy will not get in our way. His love is not pure my white flower. He is nothing, nothing, and will not love you as I do.
Her hands trembled as she held the letter. Ken loved Daisuke with all her heart. This stalker was wrong. Daisuke loved her too. He had no idea what he was talking about. But the words he wrote scared her. She truly was afraid for both her and Daisuke.
This person was obsessed. He would do anything to possess her. Ken wasn't sure if she could deal with that. Ken closed her eyes and rested her head on the door.
"Daisuke," she whispered fearfully. "I'm scared."
Daisuke blinked groggily as he heard a soft knock on his door. It was only six in the morning. Who would be up at this hour? Daisuke thought as he made his way to the door. On the other side, to his surprise, was Ken. Daisuke looked at his girlfriend in concern as he saw the bags under her eyes and her nervous posture. Ken clearly hadn't been sleeping, and she seemed scared and nervous about something. She looked over her shoulder as if searching for someone.
"Ken? Are you okay?"
Ken looked at him with fearful eyes. Her voice trembled as she spoke. "D-daisukeā¦" Daisuke was started as Ken throw herself at him, crying into his shoulder. Daisuke, instinctively, held her close. He didn't know what was going on to reduce Ken to this. Ken was terrified. He could feel it from their bond and he didn't like it.
"Hey, it's okay. I'm here." He rubbed her back as he tried to sooth her. But nothing worked. Ken clung to him desperately as she trembled in his arms. This startled him to the pit of his core. What is going on? What could possibly scare Ken to this extent?
Daisuke frowned as he moved Ken into his room, closing the door behind him. Ken didn't seem to notice that she was not longer in the hallway or when he moved them to the bed. Ken just kept on crying. Daisuke pulled Ken into his lap and whispered words into her ear. As he did this Daisuke could make out minor words like "stalker" and "letter" and "obsessed" and "I'm scared" and "you're in danger".
Daisuke narrowed his eyes as Ken continued to sob. She being stalked? Daisuke gritted this teeth to hold in his anger. Ken was terrified of some stalker. He didn't like this one bit. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he knew someone was going to have pay.
Daisuke pushed his thoughts to the side as Ken held on to him tighter. "Shh, it's okay. You're safe."
Daisuke wasn't sure how long they sat there. All he knew was that Ken was terrified and didn't want to leave his arms, even after passing out from exhaustion.
Daisuke sighed as he tucked Ken into his bed. He knew he wasn't going to sleeping anymore. He was wide awake and alert. His mind was already thinking of ways to find out what was the best way to track the person who was upsetting his girlfriend.
Daisuke glanced at Ken with a small frown. Ken was curled up to his side, clinging to him for protection. Her bottom lip trembled slightly as she whimpered in fear. Daisuke sighed as he soothed her. He had done this enough times when they were younger, but this was a totally different situation. He was worried and angry.
"Who is stalking you Ken and for how long?"
