Ch.3

Ocean Breeze

Sunlight filtered through my window as the dawn broke over the mysterious land, the light was dull, and the sky was slightly overcast. However the light was enough to wake me, and I mumbled grumpily, burying myself in the covers in an attempt to escape the morning.

"Sora, get out of bed." Lune's voice rang through my room, I jumped up and looked at him in shock, I hadn't even heard the door open. My wild brown hair was messier than normal and my eyes were thick with sleep. As I remembered the night's events my face turned a bright red, I looked at him sheepishly then nodded and climbed off of the large bed, touching my feet to the cold floor.

"Breakfast is ready." He snapped, then shut the door behind him, leaving me with a dumbfounded expression on my sleepy face.

"He must have multiple personality syndrome or something..." I said to myself, that was the only logical explanation to his behavior. Sighing, I slipped off the clothes I had been wearing, not bothering to go behind the curtain, and walked to the wardrobe.

"What wonderful outfit will I wear next?" I jeered as I flipped through the clothes rack, then settled on a pair of tight black jeans and a green loose sweater, I changed and put on a pair of socks. The window caught my attention as I passed it, the ocean was beautiful. I decided to go on a walk later, maybe Lune would accompany me, perhaps he would be in a better mood then? I opened my door to find Mandolin waiting for me.

"Don't you look nice." She remarked, eying me with a mischievous smile. She took hold of the sweater sleeve and led me back to the dinning hall. Lune was reading a book at one of the chairs, the same glass of wine in his free hand.

"Morning, did you sleep well?" He asked without removing his steady gaze from the book.

"Uh, yeah. Lune, about last night..." He suddenly shut his book and gave me an expectant look, as if daring me to elaborate.

"Thanks..." I mumbled, sitting down and taking a sip of the tea. He obviously didn't want to talk about it, maybe he regretted touching me? Wait, was he attracted to me? Was that why he...? I shook my head roughly, my brown spikes bobbing, I didn't want to think about that, so I shoved it to the back of my mind. My eyes wandered up from my plate, he was reading his book again, attempting to ignore me.

"Lune, I want to go on a walk...will you come with me?" I blurted out, he shot me a suspicious glance then nodded slightly.

"Alright, sounds nice." I was stunned by his answer, I hadn't expected it to be so easy to get him to agree. I shrugged then finished the egg and sausage, sighing happily as I leaned back in my chair.

"Okay, let's go." I said, smiling at him cheerfully, he gave me a weak grin, more of a grimace, then stood up and led me to the back door. The cool sea breeze nearly took my breath away as he opened the door, a long staircase made of wood made its way down the steep cliff. I took a deep breath, my head swirling as I looked down a the winding stairs.

"Is it safe?" I asked, swallowing the lump in my throat and looking back at him.

"Just go." He lightly pushed me forward and I began descending the stairs slowly, imagining the feeling of falling and hitting the hard sand below. My heart jumped as I lost my footing, I screamed and clamped my eyes shut as the step cracked and gave way. I blinked my eyes open to see that I was safe, then realized Lune's arms were around me. He lifted me out of the hole and held me close, my eyes felt heavy and my head light as I felt his warmth, I let out a small sound of pleasure and he whispered into my ear.

"You should be more careful." He then roughly let go of me and forced me to continue, I was glad I was ahead of him so he couldn't see my tomato red cheeks. My feet touched the solid ground and I let out a sigh of relief, with my anxiety gone I was able to admire the beautiful sea. I turned and smiled brightly at Lune, who gave me a nervous grimace. I took his hand and began pulling him, he snapped his hand back and frowned at me.

"C'mon Lune." I whined, giving him my famous puppy face, a small grin tugging at my lips. "Don't you know how to have fun?" All of his motion paused at these words, his eyes became blank as he stared into nothingness. "Lune?" I asked hesitantly, not sure what was bothering him. "Hey, lighten up." I softly put a hand on his shoulder and he shot me a warning glance, his eyes flashed with anger. I couldn't tell if the anger was at me or not, but he took it out on me anyways. I whimpered as his strong hand clutched the collar of my shirt and he held me off of the ground. His eyes pierced mine, they seemed to cause more pain than his hands did, he clenched his jaw then let go abruptly, letting my body fall to the floor.

"Don't you get it?" He said through clenched teeth as I caught my breath and looked up at him in terror. How could I let my guard down? This was the guy that nearly broke my ribs the night before, yet he was also the one who lay in my bed and cured me. Was he really all that bad? He had taken me in from the beach, cared for me, saved me from falling off the stairs. It seemed like he was being held back by some angry force that his heart was continuously battling.

"I-I'm trying...my best..." His voice wavered and he collapsed to the sand next to me, his head faced down. I hesitated a moment, then crept closer and reached out a hand to touch his shoulder softly. He slapped my hand away, then raised his head.

"Don't pity me! I've been horrible to you, I hurt you! Why are you so nice to me!" He cried out, tears building in his eyes. My heart panged, he had been trying his best. I got the feeling that he was just very lonely, all he wanted was to make me like him. I came closer and put my hand on his back, he lashed out fiercely.

"Don't touch me!" He hissed, my eyes widened and I looked away from him. Why did those words sting so much? As I got to my feet I felt my heart sink, his hand was clenched into a fist and his body shook with either tears or rage, or both.

"Fine." I said, turning from him and walking along the beach. I couldn't handle it anymore, the demon inside him was winning, and I had tried my best to help him. Maybe it would be better if I just left and found a way home myself.
