The Princess and her Guardians
Chapter 6: Confusion
Is what cloud said true?.. It seems possible but..I dont know..how can I trust him?.. Cloud must be able to see my skeptisim because he gets up and is about to leave the room then looks over his shoulder at me.
"I know its all hard to believe but what I say is true..I'll let you think it over..I'll be outside just call me if you need me" He leaves the room.
I cant believe this...is what I believe a lie?..Or are they lying just to trick me..I dont know..my head hurts..I just want to sleep and wake up and all this be a dream..I'm so tired... I close my eyes and sleep swallows me.
Zack and Reno come back to see Cloud laying against the wall outside the room.
Reno: Where is she? Is something wrong?
Cloud: No I just wanted to give her time to think about what I told her.. I'm sure its all confusing..
A little later I wake up to see the guys in their boxers, they must have been getting changed. I can't help but blush bright red, I have never seen a guy in his boxers even my dad never walked around the house like that. Zack noticed I was awake and smile. "Look whose being a little peeper!" I blush even more. "N..no no..I just woke up!...please put some clothes on." I sit up, it still hurts but I can handle it now.
They put on their pajama pants and cloud hands me some food. "You need to eat we all ate a little while ago, besides your still injured." I just nod and eat my food.
Zack scratches his head and looks at reno then to cloud and smiled "We have reserved two rooms, two beds in each so one of us needs to stay in here and since I found her I think I should" Reno looked mad "no way man! she should stay with me"
While reno and zack argued cloud sat beside me and looked me in the eyes. "Who do you want to share a room with?.." I blush a little and look at the others. "I..would like cloud to stay in my room..." Zack and reno look surprised but just sighed and nodded. Cloud looked away but couldnt help smile a little bit.
A little while later zack and reno left for their room and I laid in my bed while cloud was in the bathroom. When he came out he turned on my favorite horror movie, did he know or was it just a coincidence?... I sat up "thats my favorite horror movie.." Cloud just smiled and nodded "I know..we use to watch it when we were little..when we were kids we use to sneak into the living room and watch scary movies..you were always the brave one of the group.."
"Cloud...you are telling me the truth right?...I mean it does sound familiar but...I have always been raised by my father.." Cloud suddenly looked angry. "He is NOT your father! he is a bastard who kidnapped you and did god knows what to you when you were a child..hes the one that took you away from me...from us.."
I suddenly felt angry even if they were telling me the truth he still raised me he never laid a hand on me! "Dont talk about him that way! He never hurt me! If he did such horrid things then would I live such a peaceful life! Just get out!" I threw a pillow at him and he left... I felt wrong for yelling at him but I cant change my emotions..I feel so sleepy..
I lay down and fall asleep he comes in a little later but I pretend to be asleep, he comes up and sits on the edge of the bed by my head. he plays with my hair carefully like hes trying not to wake me and kisses my forehead and whispers "I'm so sorry air...if you can hear me then I want you to know...I love you...so much.." I'm tempted to grab his hand and hold it tight..tell him im sorry too..but my body wont move..I will tell him tomorrow though.. He gets up and goes to sleep in his bed. Before I close my eyes and allow sleep to take me I mutter "Good night cloud..." He smiled and muttered "Good night air..." We both fall asleep peacefully.
