Beastly

Dream 1

" Help." she muttered as she fell to the floor. She coughed so hard until breathing became a pain. Wasn't anybody around to help?

There was a bright light in the midst of the fire,a silver glow from above her. She struggled to look up and she found it was a woman,with strange-looking white hair. She was glowing,in pure white clothes, but Thrianna couldn't make out her face from the haze of the smoke. She stretched her hand and placed her index finger on Thrianna's forehead.

"Rise,"she muttered, and with that, Thrianna woke up from her sleep very quickly to realize that she was being held by Ivor.

"Hush now, it's just a dream."he spoke in soft tones as he smoothened her hair. She was shivering like she'd been out in the cold,but she had been here all along,it wasn't long since she even fell asleep. He wondered what she had dreamt about. She had screamed for help in her sleep. He had been awake as usual and he had noticed the minute she started feeling uncomfortable,also the increase in her heart beat, but when she had screamed,it had hit harder than it should. He was actually scared when he tried waking her up and she wasn't waking up. When she finally did wake up,he noticed tears in her eyes, and again he wondered what she must have dreamt about,but he wasn't going to ask her now, it would just be insensitive of him. He patted her hair till she fell asleep again.

Thrianna woke up still cuddled by Ivor,she would have taken off the minute she woke up ,but she didn't, she felt the need to stay just a little bit longer, something she wasn't sure she was meant to feel,she smiled at the thought of Little Ivor babies around the castle,they would be a pain ,the devil's incarnate just as he called it and she shook her head,did she just consider the thought of bearing his children?,no she was getting off this bed, being with him was intoxicating,then she remembered her dream of last night,it had felt so real,she couldn't even wake up and she had a really bad feeling about it, she rarely ever had dreams, and even when she did they were mostly forgotten the minute she woke up, and the fire, she had felt like everything was happening at the same time , and then the woman in her dream,she felt like someone she knew, but then on second thoughts she didn't know anybody with white hair ,if only she had seen her face,everything was just so confusing,she wouldn't think further on the matter, maybe it was just an after effect of the things that had happened the previous night,she looked at him for one last time and just as she made to look away and climb off the bed, he opened his eye just to catch her before she had the chance to look away and she flushed in embarrassment, with the need to explain herself she started talking.

"Well I was-"her words caught in her throat as she realized how strange it would sound if she said she was starting and he raised his brows.

"I wasn't-"she said again, only to stop as she realized she would be lying if she said she wasn't starting,oh just forget it, and that horrible smile that was gradually creeping onto his face would just make things worse.

"I owe you no explanation,"she said as she stood from the bed.

"I didn't ask for anything,"he countered.

And he didn't. She scowled at him, somethings could never change,she thought, as she limped her way into the bathing room and he scowled. Was something wrong with her foot? Why was she limping?

"She needs rest, that is all your highness."the doctor said when he was done examining Laurel. She lay on the bed curled in a ball. She looked pale and it just broke his heart to see her like that. She didn't deserve it. She was obviously devastated,he would find both Beatrice and that garden boy. She might be in a lot of trouble, but the garden boy was definitely getting what was coming to him, and by the time he was done with them,she would wish she had never run away.

"I think she's undergoing a lot of stress at the moment,but she'll be fine with enough rest."the doctor said as he packed up his things and he was led out.

He stared at the fragile figure of his wife. He knew that getting one of his daughters married to the lord of Nightfalls got to her,but it had helped a lot because, a few days later,Garius called off the war, even if he had an army of great number,he was still obviously unsettled by their alliance with Lord Valot. He wasn't someone to be meddled with,it was a huge weight lifted off his shoulder,but with that weight off ,there came another. Why couldn't they just make things easier for him? He cupped his face in his palms. At some point he would have to face the council,they would have questions to ask, and he would definitely have to answer those questions, and the people, the people would be furious,they would all blame him for everything. If he hadn't been so lenient with his daughters, things would have been different. He!, they would all be married, probably with children,they would just have to learn to love their husbands,but that wasn't the case. Maybe it would have been better. At least Tina hadn't decided to leave as well.

"Have you made arrangements?"

"Yes, milord,we have successfully penetrated their security,and as I have collected,they aren't having their best moments,"he said with a bow.

"Good then,we will strike at any moment then,"he said with an unnerving smile on his face.

"Father,I think this is an utterly impossible mission,we cannot fight them,they have the lord of Nightfalls by their side,a war with them is just a death-"

"Hush now,we do not need a war to gain control of their land,we need not cause alarm ,they. They would find out soon enough,all we need is the seal and we would have both the kingdom and their army."Garius said with a sly smile on his face,they wouldn't even know what hit them.
