Growl For Your Soul

Chapter 9

Zinnex's POV

I grunted as I felt light just shined into my eyes.

I managed to open my eyes fully and found myself back in Paiogs , in the shared room of me and Agrona. 

I sighed when I realised my escape plan had failed. I tried to get up but a grunt came out from my throat. I looked down as I found myself dressed in a black crop top and my stomach , arm was wrapped with bandages that was still stained with my blood. There are also bruises on my arms and legs as well.

I looked to my left and found Agrona who's hand was held with mine. As I gazed at his painted dog colour hair , it remind me of the things those Chyenas said...

I had misunderstood him....

He wasn't the one who hurt my father.... But the Chyenas was the one to blame.

Not to mention.....He saved me....

I touched his hair which I found it very fluffy to touch. As I glided my hand on his hair to his ears , he suddenly jumped up and looked at me with eye bags under his black eyes. "Y-You're wake." He asked me with a raspy voice. I nodded as he pushed me down to bed.

"You're hurt. Have some rest." "You- Did you save me?" I looked at him who's just nodded slightly. "Thanks." I smiled at him , while he combed my hair. "I don't deserve the forgiveness. I literally made you leave Paiogs and caused you to injure by those brats."

"Speak about them.... what did you do to them?" "Oh just a little killing of their leader and they just ran away. At least Paiogs and you were temporarily save." He said while leaned back to his chair. Then , an awkward atmosphere was formed in the air.

"S-so , I heard what Mihaka told my brother." I looked at him , full of confusion , "I mean , the fact you're giving me a chance..." "Oh..that.... " I moved a strand of my hair for my face. 

"You really think I'm a terrible being?"

"I-I mean , you invaded my nation. Attempting to hurt my people. How come I won't be mad at you?" I looked at him who's quite sad with what I said. I placed my hand on his and said , "I had my wrongs too. Agrona. I called you nicknames like jellyjer- Wait I should stop calling you that. I even being cold to you , well not as cold as Nashira. I just...." I smacked a cushion on my face , not knowing what else to say.

But , Agrona removed the cushion from me suffocating.

"Come on , I'm the one who made the mistake first. I shouldn't force you in a relationship with me , forcing you to breakup with tha- I mean, Clyde." He quickly corrected his sentence.

I sighed as I stood up from my bed but quickly stopped by Agrona's question.

"W-What are you doing?" "Oh me? I can't stand in the bed too long right? Just in case your father came in with those 'Are you lazy?' eyes. Besides ,  I can handle the pain of the scar." I said while walking to my dressing room.

And.....I think I talked too soon. 

I quickly loss balance as I collapsed onto the ground. "Zinnex!" He yelled as he rushed to me and held me by the waist before I had a chance to let my back hit the ground. We froze in our position , as we looked at each other's eyes. A blush grew upon his face as he stared at me.

"Hey Agrona! I-" I unfroze as I turned my neck and found Osiris who went in the room without knocking once again. "A-Am I interrupting?" "Yes , leave." I blushed by Agrona's respond and laughed by Osiris's action then which looked like a desperate maiden. "Argh! Ten years of friendship wasted. Argh! My heart!" And the over laughing made my scar once again opened and I grunted by the pain.

"Enough , enough , Osiris , get your hooves here now. My maiden seem to be open her scars back , thanks to the jokes you just created." Agrona said while scoped me up in bridal style and placed me on the bed.

"It's my honour , Prince Agrona."

Agrona's POV

After keeping an eye on Osiris who healed most of the bruises and scars on Zinnex and setting her in slumber , I got out from the room since Mr.'I'm-Not-My-Dad' insisted me to leave Zinnex for some space. Then , by the next second , I shut the door after taking the last glance of Zinnex who's laying on the bed with her eyes close , he had became Mr.'I'm-A-Interviewer' , and started asking many questions.

"Do you two forgave each other?" "Do you caressed her?" "Do you *gasp* marked her?!" "Or...do you make o-" "GEE , OSIRIS ALEXAS , SHUT YOUR COW MOUTH UP!" I barked at him with my face heated up before he could finished the last sentence. Soon ,  two weirdly dressed maids walked passed us. I immediately stopped them  ,"You two there! Where are you going?!" "Oh , we-" "We're just sending some newly created dishes to her highness Queen Iyuna." The maid with thick glasses said as I quickly dismissed them. 

"Oooo , I see someone being protective over his maiden." Osiris said while placed his arm on my shoulder. "No , I'm not." "Then , what's the use of yelling at random maids? They're just walking pass us to the queen's cham-" He suddenly stopped as I looked at him questionably, 

"That's not the way to the queen's chamber."

Oh lord...

Zinnex's POV 

I grunted as a creak sound of the door was woke me up from my half slumber. I crawled up my bed hardly as I noticed two female Aniture that had a mustache on their face and a tray in their grasp. "W-Who are you?" I questioned them nervously. They quickly peeled the mustache off from their face.

"Nashira? Mihaka? What- How did you two-?"

"We brought some tasty treats to heal your broken heart , sis~" Mihaka flew to me slowly and revealing a cheesecake that was decorated with some blueberries and a base of cashew and nuts with a mango lime pudding that was filled in a cylinder bowl on the side.

"She was mentally and physically hurt , Mihaka darling." Nashira said while opened her folded fan and fanning herself from the heat. "My god.... You girls were the best...Hm...." I said with my fork in my mouth. "How in the world you have got yourself in this?" Mihaka asked while poinitng to my bandages and bruises. "Well..."

"HE DID WHATTTTTT?!?!?!?!??!?!" Mihaka squawked loudly  , echoing her voice in my room after telling the story of the incident last night. "Unforgivable. But Zinnex , I am impressed with your forgiveness." " I mean  , yeah. He saved me from the Chyenas." I said as a loud bang of the door made Nashira growled , Mihaka flapped her wings , and my pudding dropped onto the ground.

"Zinnex! Are you- *cough* Oh , Lady Nashira and Lady Mihaka , you...came to visit Zinnex?" Agrona cleared his throat as he found there're no intruders in 'my' room. "You should really head to change the lock of your room  , Zinenx." 

"Yeah...I think I should..." I said while being sad in the inside as I watched my pudding destroyed on the ground.
