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

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

Azura-All day I avoided Cyran, as he wanted me to stay away from him. I thought that until he at least cooled off, I would abide by his request. It helped that Jade came over and offered to cook meals today, which allowed me to stay in the basement.For most of the morning, I struggled with my writing, but by afternoon I managed to write a few chapters. After eating supper, I reread the chapters and realized they weren’t that great. In the end, I deleted the chapters.Until I could get my head right and settle the emotional turmoil that I was in over Cyran, I was not going to try to write for now. I would prefer to give my book the best writing material that I could, instead of mediocre stuff when I wasn’t feeling what I was writing. Maybe this wasn’t the career I should have chosen.Sighing, I debated on sleeping in the basement tonight or returning to my room. I didn’t want to chance running into Cyran. The last thing I wanted was to upset him more than he already was. After consid

Cyran-Lingering by the pool long after Azura went into the house, I fixed my gaze on the water. What I saw wasn’t the water though, it was fragments of memories as I recounted the scene of finding Azura dead in a cave. Since seeing the first Potential Stone Keeper in the cave, at the beginning of winter, I couldn’t stop seeing Azura’s dead body, covered in blood.Every night I have relived the same nightmare, never finding any relief. It wasn’t until I woke up next to Azura the night before last that I had finally slept. I had been angered to see her in the room, but more than that I had been mad at myself.When I first woke up, I had been surprised to see her next to me, but I had mostly felt a warmth spread through my veins. That alone had been enough to make me want to keep her as far away from me as possible. If the last few months weren’t enough of a reminder to stay away from her, I didn’t know what was.This morning when I woke up, having slept soundly, I realized that I neede

Azura-Sitting across from Cyran as we ate, I was struggling to understand what was going on. Since this morning, it was like his personality has changed drastically. He wasn’t glaring at me or giving me the cold shoulder.We weren’t talking as we ate, but it just seemed like everything was now working in my favor. I hadn’t even mentioned the idea of getting out of the house. It was strange that he had suggested it.Then there was the kiss. I wasn’t even going to attempt to dissect that. It wasn’t like it had been the first time he had kissed me unexpectedly. This time though, I wished he wouldn’t have stopped. Sneaking a glance at him across the table on occasion, I tried not to get wrapped in the kiss and expect more from him. This entire situation was a complete mess.On the plus side, I was glad to be out of the house even if it was just for a little bit. Looking around the small restaurant, I was happy to see so many people. They weren’t even paying any attention to me, which I l

Azura-That night, I thought I would sleep in the same bed as Cyran, but he had yet to return home. Jade informed me that he and Kellan had left to handle some things. She didn’t know the details but told me not to worry.The next morning, I woke up alone in bed. After searching the house, I learned that Cyran hadn’t returned. I had texted Jade to see if she knew anything, but she didn’t. As the day went on, I began to worry. I didn’t like the uncertainty that I felt not knowing if he was okay.One day, turned to two and then three. I tried to keep myself busy, so I didn’t agonize about it, but it was difficult to concentrate on anything. Jade spent time with me, telling me that it was normal for them to disappear to take care of things. With the killings lately, she suspected it was related to that.I still didn’t like how they disappeared without at least letting us know what was going on. What if something happened while they were gone? I even tried texting and calling Cyran multip
Guardian Dragon Chapter 28
Azura-As Cyran told everyone what happened, my eyes were fixated on Arric. Shortly after we arrived, he showed up and I found the timing strange. It could be a simple coincidence, yet the uneasiness I used to feel around him returned.It didn’t help that his eyes were glued to me as well. Up until now, I have been keeping it to myself, but maybe it was time that I discussed it with Cyran. Despite everything I did trust Cyran, so it was time that I let him know that something was bothering me about Arric.“Did you get a plate number? I can try to locate them.” Jade’s voice pulled my attention back to the situation at hand.“There was no plate. I don’t know who they are, but I don’t think this was random.” Cyran leaned forward in the recliner he was sitting in, placing his elbows on his knees.“I do think it was strange that a human came here.” Kellan was pacing the room, which I noticed he did when he was deep in thought. “If this was planned, then we have a bigger problem on our hand
