Growl For Your Soul

Chapter 12

Agrona's POV

I grunted from the couch as I found the space of the bed where Zinnex slept at was empty and the door of the balcony was open....

No...

I quickly buttoned my shirt as I walked to the balcony , seeking for Zinnex. Soon , I heard a small sob on the roof. I jumped with my intelligent legs and found Zinnex who's sleeve was torn and was right now sobbing for a certain reason.

"Zinnex? Are you...good?" I walked to her carefully and on guard. Who knows what will happen if a Lionard gone that sad? Well apparently , I don't.

She turned to me with her ocean like eyes filled with tears. I was shocked by what I saw.  "W-What happened?" She wiped her tears away and turned back to the rising sun. I slowly sat next to her , looking at her , while mumbling , "Please stop crying , I don't know how to comfort Anitures." She stopped sobbing and looked at me , then a chuckle come out from her throat.

"N-No , I just.... Haha!" She laughed while tears kept coming down from her eyes. "Man... you don't have to comfort me...You already did... Thanks Agrona." "Then....," I said while sat next to her , "why are you being blue?" "Clyde happened."

That Clyde came? But how did he pass through the high security of Paiogs? "He came and decide to take me away , back to Lionards. I refuse because of the perfect life I had now. He gone mad and we had an argument. And......yeah , our relationship ends."She said full of disappointment as her ears flopped down and so is her tail.

"Bet you're that happy for it , aren't ya?" She said while turning to me with a face of creep. I quickly swing my hand , denying "N-No! Why would I?! In fact , I felt terrible for you honestly. That Clyde just missed a perfect mate." She suddenly turned to me with her face blushed. 

"Come on , we should probably get you dressed." 

Zinnex's POV

"Y-Yeah , I still got some maiden lessons going on schedule." I said as I stood up from my ground. But quickly being lifted up by Agrona himself. "H-Hey! What's that for?!" "First , I don't think it would be a good idea for a maiden jump down from a roof that had the exact height from the ground. Second , you're not going to the idiotic lessons."

"But-" "You're not going , and I said so." I huffed as he jumped down from the roof , taking me back to our room. "Besides , you have somewhere else to go." I glared at him , letting him put me down. "Trust me , it's not the prison cells , or the butchery as what my father called them. Just dressed in your normal outfits." He said ruffled my hair and left.

I slowly placed my hand on my head , and felt a huge heat gusted to me.

'What's this feeling?! I can't be falling a other male right after my first relationship?!?!??!'  I quickly shook my head crazily , as I head to the dressing room.

Nashira's POV 

"That's all for today , maidens. You're all dismissed." Lady Sampurna said as she first dismissed herself and I quickly pulled out my fan , calming down the fire inside me. "Nana , do you have any idea where's Zinny?" She asked me with her head was placed on my shoulder.

"Nope , but we'll probably meet her somehow on our journey back to the man of ours." I said confidently. "How do you know?" "Cause I'm the spirit who protects over Polastra , Mihi." I said full of pride and justice. I'm sure if my parents know about this , they will sure slapped me with raw salmon fish in the face for this childish actions.

While walking across the soldier training field , where there are a bunch of soldiers that weren't leashed with the training leash , just I was about to full speed across , a familiar figure had caught my eyes. I quickly dragged Mihaka behind a pillar , shutting her beak up. "Nana! What's that for?!" 

"Plan X?" I looked at her with a evil smirk as she hummed in respond.

'*squawk* Definitely!"

Zinnex's POV

'Ugh , why can't I?' I thought as I once again raised my bow and arrow but once again , failed to hit the target. I have actually succeed to shoot a arrow but not bullseye. 

"First playing with an arrow and bow , princess?" I turned and found my head leaned on Agrona's shoulder who's right now placing his hand on mine which was holding the bow and arrow. "Your shoulder wasn't wide enough , princess." He said as he pressed his hand with mine as he pulled my body backwards , widened my shoulder. 

I could possibly heard awes which make me ridiculously blushing by now. 'I thought he said this was to calm my feelings from my first relationship! Was this how Paiogs calm themselves? Like how? They make the bullseye as the-' My mind was wondering as Agrona's voice cut my mind.

"Imagine the red spot of the target was the heart of the male who broke you heart earlier..... Aim , " I took a deep breath , aim the arrow to the spot , 

"Shoot." He whispered into my ear as I let go the arrow and bullseye.

My heart somehow felt much more comfortable as I thought so. "Not bad , princess." I turned my head and found how close was my face to his. My face might be as red as a red poppy , cause that's what his face told me.

Right when I was staring into his sparkling eyes and hearing at those awes with howls, I was suddenly dragged away in a comet speed and was placed on a chair in a random room.

"Well , my sister....." I turned my neck and found Mihaka staring lifeless and emotionless with her face darkened , I did squealed by her terrifying self , "Why are you doing in the unleashed dogs pen? Do I need to elaborate the dangerous in there?" , I turned and found Nashira who's standing in the darkest corner of the room , making me gulped a bit.

"I-I-It's f-fine , girls. A-A-Agrona's there to cover for me." "That's even strange , you wouldn't even be s-s-stutter Agrona's name." Mihaka said while copied me stuttering. "Cause you're making me nervous , girls." "Cause you're making us feeling that way in the first place."

I immediately shut up by Nashira's answer , I had clearly forgotten to tell the girls about it. "Your heartbeat was higher than usual and....," Nashira said as she came out from her dark corner , "Are you feeling down recently?" I looked down as I felt Mihaka's feather wings embraced me. "Okay....there's something I need to tell you girls..." 

"He did what?!" Mihaka yelled after I told them the tale. "Mihaka , chill." 'I am chill , and sane." She said while grabbed a curtain and tore without hesitation. "But he had a small heart. Can't he just... you know what? He's in my scratch list."

"Scratch list?" I questioned. "A list of Anitures who she wants scratch to in their face." Mihaka elaborate as Nashira said whille scratched the curtain , drawing three scratch marks. I gulped nervously as the door was kicked down.

"What's thi- Lady Nashira? Lady Mihaka? You're the one who took Zinnex?"

"Didn't I told you not to lock the door , Mihi?"

"Hehe.... Accidentally... Sincerely apologies..."
