Valek POV
I was dreaming of Yelena, at least I thought I was, and then all I saw was black. One minute I leave Sitia, rushing back to the Commander's aide, the next I'm in my room sleeping; it feels like I'm running now. It's so odd. I try to open my eyes but I can't.
Yelena POV
I take a few steps back and launch myself at the door. It bursts open, nothing. From what I see Valek's not even in here. I run over to the bed and put my hand on it, still warm, like he was just here. I run to his carving studio, not there either. I run through his suite. Nothing. I'm starting to worry, he said he'd be safe; maybe he's lost his touch since he's been down in Sitia with me. Just then I hear a screech. Like a window. I run to where the sound's coming from and see two black figures jumping out. I rush over, they hit the ground and run. Why is Valek running with that person? I know if I jump down I will get hurt, it's too high, I focus on the person. It looks feminine; I see the long hair pulled up in a ponytail. Is he running away because he knew it was me? Why is he with her though?
I slowly sink down to the floor. I have to do something. I have to get him back. I know he wouldn't leave me for someone else, Dilana even said he was never into any other woman, and he loves me…we're getting married! He couldn't. He wouldn't.
Valek POV
What seems like hours later, the movement stops. I'm on the ground. I attempt to open my eyes again but it's no use. It's like they're glued shut.
"Oh Valek, I see your awake, sorry about your eyes, you just can't see for a while. Not until we get there." A woman's voice that I vaguely recognize says.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?" I ask.
"You don't remember me? Remember when we were little and you would always hide in your mother's closet, every single time. You weren't a very good seeker either. Then as we got older I tried to kiss you, you led me on and I thought you liked me, but when I tried to make my move you pushed me away. Remember how you never looked at me the same way again? Every time I'd come over you'd look away and act as if I wasn't there. You think that didn't affect me?" She was practically yelling now.
"You're not over that, after all these years?" I asked, annoyed.
"You left the Icefaren Province because of me! Because of me, Valek! That hurt, and I want my revenge. Especially now that I hear the cold-hearted Valek has fallen in love," she said with a sneer.
I groaned, "You don't understand, we were young, I got scared. And I left to get revenge on the King for ordering his servants to kill my brothers! As for my love life, that's none of your business. Just let me go, please." I was practically begging. I didn't need this nonsense; I had to get back to Yelena. I just knew she was worried.
Sorry guys for taking so long to post this, and sorry if it's short. I need to get back in the habit of writing these stories. Thanks for all your comments, stay tuned.:)
