Guardian Dragon Chapter 16
Cyran-“You can’t seriously leave me in here!”The instant we entered the house, I had thrown Azura over my shoulder and took her down to the basement. I wanted to teach her a lesson. Her reaction wasn’t what I expected, but I figured she was just being dramatic.“You should have thought of that before you ran away. I will consider letting you out in the morning.”Stepping away from the bed I sat her on, I moved toward the door and closed it. The room she was currently being detained in was the only room in the basement. I never got around to finishing it. The only thing in the room was a cot and a wool blanket.I figured that I might need to put her down here at some point. Now I was glad I never fixed it up. I didn’t want her to feel like it was okay to be put in the basement. While I didn’t understand it fully, I didn’t like putting her there any more than she wanted to be there.Locking the door, I listened to her pleas as she sobbed on the other side of the door. I didn’t know wh

Azura-I tried not to think about how Cyran kept looking at me. Keeping my head bowed, I ate slowly. I felt a little awkward being around him again. It was like there was something different, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.When I finished eating, I took my dishes to the sink to wash them. I started thinking about the maid and an idea occurred to me. If I took over the housework, I could keep myself busy instead of being idle.“Would it be possible for me to be the one to clean the house? I know you hire someone to do it, but it would give me something to do.” I didn’t glance toward Cyran as I spoke.It took a while for him to answer, so I thought he wasn’t going to. A minute later he joined me at the sink and set his dishes on the counter. Instead of leaving, he turned around and leaned against the counter. I could feel his eyes on me, causing the hair on the back of my neck to tingle.“I will let her know that she can take a break I will have the Gardener start bringing the groc

Azura-It didn’t take two days like Cyran said it would. It took a week, which I was perfectly fine with. It allowed me time to mentally prepare myself.I didn’t have an issue with the treatment that was being suggested. I only had an issue with the one in charge of the treatment. I expressed my worries to Jade without telling her that it was just a bad feeling I had.It wouldn’t have done me any good anyway since they all seemed to trust Arric. Instead, I expressed that I didn’t feel comfortable being around Arric. Jade assured me that he was trustworthy.According to her, Arric and I had been close. In the way that a brother and sister were. Based on what Jade told me, Arric's care for me was enough to rival Cyran's.She told me that my death had affected him as much as it had affected Cyran's. It had nearly broken him to the point of no return. Other than Cyran, he searched for me endlessly, if not more than the others.As she told me of some things that happened between Arric and
Guardian Dragon Chapter 19
Azura-I couldn’t believe it worked. Standing in front of Cyran, wearing clothing that seemed outdated, as if they were from thousands of years ago, I was having a hard time grasping it all. Stepping closer, I studied him. If it weren’t for the clothing and the hairstyle, I would think he was the same Cyran I knew today.Noticing he was looking past me as if he couldn’t see me at all, I turned around. I sucked in a sharp breath when I saw someone that looked exactly like me. She was wearing a long flowing cotton dress, with a brown sash tied around her waist.There was something about her that was different as if her essence was nothing like mine. An air of sadness hung around her, as tears welled in her eyes. Appearance-wise, there wasn’t a single thing about her that was different from me, other than her hair wasn’t cut like mine.I didn’t know what was wrong with her. For some reason, when I glanced behind me at Cyran, who was still standing perfectly still, I knew this was the fir

Azura-“Excuse me?” Cyran’s right brow dropped slightly as he tilted his head to the left a little.“I, uhm…” I thought about what I was going to say but decided to just repeat myself. “I was just wondering how close you were with Arric.”“Not as close as we used to be, but he is my brother and someone I would risk my life for.”Hearing that, I knew I was going to have to tread lightly. If it came down to choosing sides, there is no doubt he would side with his brother over me. After all, I suspected that I was an eyesore to him. He regarded me as nothing more than his replacement mate.“I see.” I mumbled as I lowered my gaze to my hands.“Why do you ask?”“No reason, I was simply curious. I keep hearing things about everyone, but I am struggling to accept certain things.” I shrugged, without lifting my eyes to look at him.“If you are worried about Arric, you shouldn’t be. In fact, he is probably the only other one you can completely trust, aside from me and Kellan. Before I met Azur
Guardian Dragon Chapter 21
Azura-Time seemed to speed up over the next couple of months. After dreaming of Arric, my tension around him eased. I was still cautious, but not nearly as bad as I had been. Every night I dreamt of a memory I had shared with Arric.I had been filled with warmth and love. I felt that part of the reason I had been so on edge around him, was probably some form of guilt. It helped that as time went on, I didn’t feel like Arric was here to harm me.He wasn’t the same as he had been in my memories, but I suspected that it was because he had changed over the years. I wished that my memories consisted of Cyran, but they were all focused on Arric. The only time I could remember anything about Cyran was if I saw it after being hypnotized.The difference between when I was being hypnotized and dreaming, was the point of view. During my dreams, it was from a first-person point of view, where I could feel everything and feel completely connected. Unlike when I was being hypnotized, it was from a

Azura-This had to be the longest winter in history. I thought that I could keep myself busy, but there wasn’t much to do. I tried to write, but when I tried to work on the story, I was hit was severe writer’s block. I kept thinking about Cyran and hoping he was safe.“Has he checked in yet?” I asked Kellan for probably the hundredth time.“Not yet.” Kellan didn’t even look up from his computer as he answered.Although I have asked him every day for the past few months, he hasn’t seemed annoyed by it. Even Jade did not seem bothered by it because I have asked her just as many times. Leaning back in my chair at the table, I looked out the back door.We had just finished eating lunch and just hanging out like we normally did. Things at home have become natural to the point I felt as if it were my home. The only difference was that Cyran wasn’t here.I didn’t have any expectations for him when he did return, but I hoped that I could find a way to connect with him. At the very least I hop
Guardian Dragon Chapter 23
Azura-Two days later, I am at my wit’s end about how to make Cyran feel better. He keeps avoiding me and when I do try to interact with him, he won’t even look at me or respond. I tried to have Kellan talk to him and find out what was going on, but he told me that he was unable to get any information out of him.It was clear that Cyran was avoiding me specifically because he had no problem interacting with Kellan or Jade. Thinking he just needed space, after making supper for us, I placed his plate outside his door, as I have been doing the last two days. As for me, I placed my food in the microwave while I cleaned the kitchen.Taking my plate to the basement, I closed the door, so I wasn’t bothering him. I tried to work on my writing, but it was difficult to focus. Feeling like it was pointless to force myself to write, I laid down on the couch.Since I forgot to bring a book down, I just rested my eyes to sleep. I woke up a few hours later, and I was unable to fall asleep again. Si
