Wings & Dreams

Ch.9 - Work Together

Since I didn't manage to track down Krilie's hideout, we debated what steps to take next.

"Saranku anyway, keep camping here. Clara could try using her ability again," Rio said as he lay on the white grass.

Kei. "I told you it's dangerous! He had just met Chrys in his dream!"

Dain raised his talk. "It was just a dream. It's the same if we have a bad dream. Can't we go back to sleep?"

"Well..." I cut their debate. "Actually, I talked to him. Even physical contact," I murmured. Judging from the gazes that were directed at me, it seemed like they heard it.

Rio gawked and looked at me like I was a new species of creature. "Then, we can at least confirm that you do have some ability."

I'm nodding. I wait until fear or other emotions arise, because I admit that I have some kind of ability related to dreams. But that's not what fills my mind.

Back then in my apartment, it was obvious that Chrys treated me rudely. He accused me of various things, even attacked me with his magic.

I don't really remember the contents of my dream, but a statement came to my mind, that Chrys no longer treated me lowly when I met him in the dream.

It's already night time. Jon had focused his hearing many times, but he still did not hear any sounds or signs of anyone else in the cabin.

He is still locked up in his own room. Sometimes, the white-winged woman opened the door just to deliver food. Jon had also run out of energy to fight, so he complied.

He can't wait anymore. So he brushed off the leftovers, spilling onto the floor, creating the loud sound of a bowl slamming on the floor. He hoped someone would come in and ask him how he was doing. But nobody cares about it.

"Aarray!" She pulled her own hair. He can't take it anymore. He must immediately meet with Clara and clear up this misunderstanding, although in fact some of him still do not want to forgive her for meddling with these strange creatures.

The door suddenly opened, and the girl who was before entered. His black hair was surging as he stepped in.

"What do you want?" Jon's sigh because of resignation.

The girl raised next to her eyebrows, a sign of underestimating her question. "You're human."

Jon laughed immediately. What the fuck was that? He thought he couldn't believe it. "Yes, I'm human. So then?"

"So?" The girl closed the door, then was already standing before him. Although she is taller than the girl in general, to Jon she is just another girl who is short for him. The girl raised her face slightly, and looked directly at her eyes. No fear or nervousness. Usually women will be crazy and unable to resist the temptation of his beautiful face.

Or maybe it was just Clara who did it.

"Say, O man." I don't know why Jon is nervous now. "Have you been healed?"

The girl clutched her chin instead, forcing her to look directly into his eyes. "Get me right."

"Get ready boss."

"Huh," grunts. "I will never understand human behavior" he murmured.

"What did you say?"

"What I just said," he added, "is that you need to get out of here."

Jon's wide-eyed. "really?! Can I do that?!"

"Of course not, stupid," the girl clicked her tongue. "Actually I don't understand why Zeyn still wants you. I can kill you right now if you dare to rebel."

Jon swallowed his mouth. He continued to pray in his heart that this girl would no longer look at him. But his eagle eyes made him focus wrong.

"After I noticed, your face was too pitiful for me to kill" he said. "I'm offering you this opportunity. I'll help you escape this cabin."

"Why?" Jon's whisper didn't understand.

"Why not?" He removed his grip from his chin, then walked towards his bed. "I wouldn't see a man spend a long night in my cottage."

This little house is his. "Okay, I'm leaving this house with Clara."

"Can you do that?" Ask while laughing. "That little friend of yours alone has taken my friend. I'm sure he won't follow you."

"You're wrong" Jon shook his head. "Clara the girl I love. He can be persuaded."

"Yes, yes" he waved his hand lazily. "I don't care about your love problems as complicated as Fae's rules. It's good I didn't ask for anything in return. I just want you out of this house unbeknownst to Zeyn, secretly. It's even better if you're also out of this Fae territory."

"Secretly said?" Jon looked back, and again exchanged glances with the beautiful girl. "So we'll work together? But that means you're gonna betray that man of your dreams."

"As far as you are" he said before walking over and opening the doorknob. His skirt fluttered until it touched the floor. "Kei and your friend are back. We should welcome him, right?" Then he disappeared after throwing a sweet smile at her.

Justright. Moments later, Jon could hear familiar giggling sounds. He finally stepped out, suddenly feeling nervous because he was finally able to meet Clara.

His steps came to a halt as he saw a man busy embracing the neck of the girl he loved.
