Recalling the bad Times
Garcia's POV
I still recalled the way he stared at me in the eyes, the way his body was in flames, I felt that pain I have never felt before, especially the very moment he opened his lips to say I should leave the kingdom, I knew when Zakuski came, there was a problem, but I can't pinpoint where the problem was coming From.
I started feeling more insecure as time goes on, my heart was beating so fast, and I can't help but wonder why things were happening the way they are.
I fought the urge to sob, I was still outside, but then I noticed someone was coming closer. I was scared at first, but when his face became more visible, I noticed it was his personal and most trusted guard of Adrian. I raised a brow, I was still baffled and I can't seem to comprehend what was happening, I tried as much as possible to ignore the feeling that overcome me.
I felt a little uncomfortable as time goes on, I can't help but feel insecure and wonder what was happening.
"Greetings my lady" he greeted politely.
I couldn't reply to his greetings, I was still baffled why he was here in the first place after his Master had sent me away, I clenched my hand into a tight fist, I was still angry about everything, I can't help but wonder why I won't be able to see Adrian again.
I thought there was that spark going on between us, but now everything is gone and I won't be able to bring it back, no matter how matter I try.
I felt like just crying my eyes out without stopping, my heart was beating so fast, I don't know what to do, but despite everything, I managed to contain my emotions.
then he surprised me when he led me to a more safe place.
" I know you must be judging him right now right"
" no....yes, yeah sought of," I said in a confused state, because right now I don't what to think of him again, I just feel like drowning myself in alcohol.
I felt like things won't be the same again, my heart was beating so fast and many uncalled thoughts escape through my mind, or is there something he was not telling me, I just can't help but wonder, I felt like some things are brewing behind the curtains, something that I am yet to unveil, my heart was beating so fast.
" I know you might feel like he doesn't want you around him, but the real truth is that he's scared of your life, he's scared of losing you, that's the reason why I'll advise you to believe in him, no matter the situation," he told.
"Please stay in my place for the meantime before everything gets better " he softened his voice, it was something I never knew he had.
I smiled as I nodded, I decided that follow him, I was still scrutinizing his every feature, he has sexy brown eyes with thin lips, long lashes, and a flat jaw, his tough features match up with his apparel features, and it made him look better in a certain way.
I drew my deep breath, my heart was beating so fast, as I followed behind him into the forest, we were far away from the kingdom and I can't help but still think of Adrian and how he was doing.
I know that he was trying to control his dragon, but it was taking a toll on him, my heart was beating faster as time goes, on whenever I thought of anything bad happening to him.
" we are here" he startled me, when I heard his voice, he noticed it. so he immediately touched my forehead, hoping I was okay.
"Are you okay?" he asked, I nodded.
"ye...yes, just that I'm still thinking about Adrian, I am not sure if he's okay, please I want you to be sure that he's okay please be sure" I pleaded because all the thoughts of what he might be going through inside is killing me. I sniffled a breath, trying to ignore the feeling of pain that was slowly growing and the thought of agony I had once experienced.
' Garcia you deserve better ' I recalled his words, it was like a gentle whisper to my ears, I was still recalling those words, and I can't help but feel like things won't be the same again, I tried as much as possible to ignore the thought of the pain that kept hunting me, but all I could think about is Adrian.
" you need to stop thinking about him, he's okay" he assured me, I nodded my head without saying any word again.
but deep within me, I still kept thinking, what if things didn't work out the way I had wanted?
I felt like things won't be the same for me again, I was feeling so helpless, trying as much as possible to ignore the feeling of dread that slowly wrapped around me.
"Please have a sit, I'll go bring you a cup of coffee" he smiled, which was quite unusual because I can't still recall the way he acts so tough with other dragons and he was always moody, but I can't help noticing the change of behavior.
I gave a scrutinizing look at the environment when my eyes landed on the few pieces of types of furniture placed in the middle of the room and other types of furniture placed at the center of the dining room, my heart almost leaped when I heard a loud voice from the other side, I hurriedly rushed to open the door to see who it was, I was hoping it was Adrian.
but then my eyes fell on a Young woman who might seem my age, she was young and beautiful, her beautiful brown eyes made her exceptional and her long dark hair was what captivated me at the moment, but her cherry red lips made her even more beautiful.
" hi...." I said awkwardly.
"Hello," I answered.
"Please come sit, I know you must be tired, have a sit while I serve you a hot cup of tea," she said with the sweetest voice she can ever muster, I drew in a deep breath, I was still staring at her a little baffled, my heart was pounding so fast when I noticed a tattoo on her shoulder, it was a scorpion.
I then recalled how my mother was screaming so they can let her go, but the man who had a scorpion scraped in his shoulder made her bleed to death without any fear.
she smiled, and she was coming closer to me, I had to shut my eyes close so that I did not remember everything that happened to me, but I just can't help it, especially since my eyes were solely focused on her shoulders.
when she noticed where I was looking, she immediately closed the tattoo with her right hand and said; " I know you are scared, especially whenever you see this tattoo, but I am here to help, nothing will happen to you, I'll always be here for you" she said. as she inched closer, my heart was beating so fast, as many thoughts ran through my mind of what I have faced in life, I can no longer think straight.
" go... away" I screamed at the loudest voice.
" everything is fine, you just that to trust me, honey "
" I said go away" I yelled more loudly because at this moment I'm scared, vulnerable and I don't trust this lady for a single bit.
" Garcia... Garcia are you okay" The young man who walked under Adrian came rushing in, he looked scared, he immediately wrapped his arms around me as he assured me that everything was going to be fine. I managed to calm down, but I can still hear the screams, moans and groans of pains so loudly in my ears, I can't seem to concentrate no matter how hard I tried to.
" everything is going to be fine, just.... just calm down " he assured me, when he told me that, I managed to take deep breaths, trying to calm myself down, I was feeling so insecure and my body felt so weak, I kept thinking about everything, and how everything changed in the matter of seconds.
" what is the matter" he asked.
I didn't say a word, as I managed to look up and I was surprised that the lady was not there, there was no one, it was totally Blank, like no one has been there in the first place.
"she... she....she was there..." I stuttered, now I know I'm going crazy. but I know I saw her.
" I know it was not right for Adrian to have sent you away like that, but don't allow it take a toll of you" he advised with his deep husky voice, I shook my head, no it can't be, because I know that she was there.
could it be that I was hallucinating? I can't tell.
' no you are not Garcia ' I could hear her whisper. I felt cold shivers ran down my spine.
