CHAPTER 3: VIBES AND VISIONS.

(POV: Mysterious Narrator.)

After the gathering had come to a close, Thomas changed out of his fancy occasion attire and put on his sleepwear. As the teen then flopped onto his bed, it was very clear that he was not happy.

(POV: Thomas.)

"She's mine, you rat! So stay out of places you don't belong."

As those very words echoed throughout my brain, I could not help but cry, for they hurt me so much. Allen, the prince who I met at the birthday gathering for her, wishes to take Lady away from me and out of my reach. I could not stand that fact, and just was not able to accept it. Lady is everything to me, and I don't ever want to lose her. I never do. As I continued to cry, Timothy entered into my room.

"Are you okay, little brother?" He asked me.

"No." I sobbed in reply. "That Allen wishes to take Lady away from me."

"I'm sure he never meant it."

"No... he did!" I retorted in a dark voice, as I then told Timothy what Allen had whispered into my ear.

"Oh my gosh! T-that's very unacceptable. Why would he even say that to you?"

"I don't know!" I replied. "All I know is that Allen hates me, and is very set on having Lady."

As Timothy then sighed, he gently rustled my hair and spoke to me in his kind yet serious tone.

"If it's alright with you, Thomas, I'll bring the truth to our parents and Lady's father, and then they could possibly do something about Allen trying to separate you and Lady."

"Okay." I sobbed in reply as I nodded.

(POV: Mysterious Narrator.)

As Thomas's tears began to dry up, he was not the only one who was negatively affected by Allen's actions. Lady had been way more solemn and silent ever since the gathering had ended. The magicborn was just heading to her bed chamber, when Allen stopped by her.

"Mind if I join you tonight, love?" He asked slowly as he got closer.

"Leave me alone." Lady replied as she then pushed him away and ran to her dorm.

"Oh, well." He sighed under his breath. "At least it was a try. I guess I better ready the plan b I had in mind."

(POV: Lady.)

As I sat on my bed, I could not hold back a single tear, for my wishes to be with Thomas were dashed.

"Is it wrong of me to want to be with my most loyal sorcerer knight?"I asked with my thoughts. "Is it wrong of me to always feel that kind gentle warmth that belongs to Thomas's hand? Am I to be stuck here with Allen?"I quizzed within my mind as I then laid down across my bed. "I think I need to tell dad about how I feel." I then concluded as I fell asleep.

As I slept however, the dream that I received wasn't a mere cheerful fantasy as some would get at times.

"...Lady..." Whispered an feminine voice that was oddly familiar. "...Beware of the tyrannical prince...He threatens your true fate... your true spouse..."

"My true spouse?!" I exclaimed. "What are you..."

Before I could even finish my question, images of a certain nobleman accompanied by two members of Allen's guards, flashed into my mind. One of the guards was poisoned, before he and the one boy whom I wished to be with were killed by the guard who was standing, all completely untouched. As I then awoken with shock, I found that it was the very next morning. As I then felt an uneasy vibe within the atmosphere, something within me, to me to keep my battle attire and spells ready. Little did I know how true that these vibes of mine would be as I then got my things ready.
