We continued to stay just like that, wrapped around in each other’s embrace. We were both lost in our world, the world of Kronos and Catina when suddenly a group of guards voices ringed out from the training ground startling the both of us.
He released me abruptly. I looked into his eyes that were wide with disbelief; it was like he realized something. His eyes became cold, distant and empty once again.
His green eyes narrowed as sent me an icy glare before saying through gritted teeth, "Get out!"
"But b-I... l," I said.
"Get out of here.”
This time he yelled and I hastily scurried to the door, closing it behind me without turning around to look at him. Mission failed! Stupid, stupid Catina you didn't even negotiate with him.
Oh yeah certainly because you were too engrossed with him in another type of negotiation! I blushed and automatically as I palmed my cheeks to get off the shades of red but of course, it won't go. How did that even happen in the first place, did he truly embrace me in his arms or was I dreaming.
I leaned against the wall and pressed my palm on my chest trying to stop my heartbeat from racing any longer. My heavy breathing calmed down and I sigh for the hundredth time as a smile graced its way to my lips. But seriously, what was that again!
‘Wait what is wrong with me to feel like that towards him’ A frown replaced my smile as I remembered what exactly has happened until now. ‘His self absorbed rude behaviour and slicing anyone’s hand as if it was nothing but just some meat for him to slice for free.’
Kronos came out of the room to leave without wasting time. As he reached the stairs, he stopped suddenly and turned his gaze towards me, "By the way Ellison, the black diary is a gift from my mother." With that being said, he left the palace. My lips curled into a wide smile and I grinned like a damn fool while blushing at the same time.
I didn't tell Dustin about this despite his constant grandpa nagging. It was sweet of him but well it's my concern, not his. So I should be the one to figure it out. I hate relying on others but I would ask him for help only if things get out of hand maybe.

‘Is it fun?’
‘Yaaa soft marshmallow pillow yum...’
‘Marshmallow never heard about it.’(what kind of ancient ape doesn’t know marshmallows.)
Who?
I opened my eyes to see who…
“…”
"..."
“WAAAAAAHHH” I screamed startled.
“Ahhhh! YOU MADE ME SCARED”
“I SHOULD BE THE ONE SAYING THAT DUSTIN! What are you doing here? You should have woken me up if you had come inside!”
“Aww, but I didn’t want to disturb you; you looked cute mumbling.” He said with a teasing smile on his face.
“What! Your... What are you doing here?” (Did he come early morning just to tell me that..Dustin can be a little teasing guy)
“We are going to the Palace finally!” Dustin exclaimed excitedly in contrast to my emotions.
"..." I continued to stare at him trying to process this newly feed information in my brain processor.
Catina Ellison, We are going to another place! Yayy... Kill me! Oh God, no! This wasn't supposed to come, at least not yet.
I have completely forgotten about Mr Guard yesterday, I couldn't even do anything for him! I knew that the day would eventually come when he would take me to another place but not so soon. I have not even 'ran away yet!'
Well duh, I didn’t run away…
Hell, I'm not one bit ready. I can't go, but I'm absolutely sure; no plan of mine will work this time.
I am not going there; no we are absolutely not, at least not me. I won't go, but how? Maybe Kronos thought the person who attacked has backed off. That's why he decided we should get outside this place. Oh God, I don't want to go! "Oho lala..."
I snapped back to reality when Dustin waved his hand in front of my face. I looked at him, this man! He is so carefree like he has absolutely no worries in life. Why can't I be like that?
"What’s wrong little sheep? Hmm, I can guess there is an uproar going inside your little head. That frown is marrying your pretty face. If there’s something on your mind I can help." I chuckled at his abnormal joke. A marriage to Ethan!! I wish... Don't wish, you are in no position to wish right now.
Right!
"Dustin, I- I don't know. I mean, I don't think I am ready to go somewhere else yet the attack and Mr Guard… It may not be a big deal for others but for me it is different. I feel responsibl-”
Dustin cut me off by placing his finger on my lips stopping my talking instantly. "Hey, relax! I told you, do not stress yourself on such trivial matters. Although I agree I realized seeing you that day for your too softhearted for your good. But you should know that Kronos is not the type who would do nothing for a person who has served him. If it were not him someone else would have just taken the guards life.”
His point calmed me a bit.
He is right, why should I be tense. I did nothing; I am an innocent Pokémon, so no need to be a scared cockroach.
"Alright, I am fine. Thank you, Dustin, whenever I need someone, you are always there for me. You are not like everybody else. You are a good man Dustin, thank you!" I told him smiling cheekily. He nervously palmed the back of his neck.
A taint of red appeared on his cheeks. Awww, he is embarrassed! "Yeah right, what are friends for." He said looking everywhere not knowing what else to say. I tried hard not to laugh looking at him. He can be such a cutie sometimes.
"So, I will leave you to yourself now. You have to get ready and I have some work to take care of see you soon little sheep!"
"See you."
"What is this I'm hearing Kronos?"
