Wings & Dreams

Zeyn Plan

It was midnight, but I was still not asleep. Zeyn forced me to tell him what had happened. Because of everyone's worried gaze, I finally raised my speech.

"Jon had misunderstood and thought that I..." I almost gulped when I glanced at Rio. The man seemed to understand what I meant. After all, everyone here must understand my relationship with Jon.

"What?" Ask Clora impatiently. Following the direction of my glance, he laughed in disbelief. "You? With Rio? Impossible."

"Shut up, Clora," said Kei, who was met with a sharp gaze of Clora. "Oh!" Clora crossed her arms. "It doesn't matter, Zeyn! It's just a complicated human relationship!"

"But I need to know." I can't believe Zeyn defended me. "If you hate humans so much, I suggest you keep your mouth shut."

Clora's expression instantly changed. The girl obviously did not expect to get such unpleasant treatment. I saw his hands begin to tremble. "I'm..." He stood up, and without saying anything else immediately left the living room.

"And you guys," Zeyn changed his gaze towards Rio and Dain. "What time is it? You guys wanna spend the night here?"

Rio took his eyes off of me, then moved away from the sofa. "Huh! If you don't want to see me, just tell me." Then, he had already pulled his brother's hand. Before long, there was silence between the three of us.

"Kei, you can get out of here" Zeyn whispered subtly. The man again threw a smile at me. "I have to speak four eyes with Clara."

"Well," Kei bowed a little sign of respect, then gave me a smile of spirit marks.

I don't know what to talk about. Zeyn just looked at me fixedly, making me even more nervous and bathed in sweat. Shouldn't I be getting out of the cabin? Or was he angry at me for coming home too late? I thought that was a ridiculous idea. Zeyn, not my grandmother. He won't ban me because he's gone home at night.

"Let's relax" he said, pouring tea on the table, then gave it to me. "Tea flower. Good for health."

"You mean, human health?" I said while sipping the tea. I immediately choked because it turned out that the tea was still hot. Zeyn was already behind me, then patted my back. "Slowly. The tea is still hot."

"Ukh," I really feel stupid. Suddenly Zeyn's head was already very close to me. I sat, not thinking. Fortunately he only intended to blow my tea with the wind from his mouth.

"Ma..." It's really a strange situation. "It's okay, Zeyn. Actually I can blow it myself."

Zeyn smiled again. "I have to do that, so that the tea is no longer hot." My cheeks blush. Zeyn opened his palm, then the wind tendrils began to be created, blowing my hair bangs. "Only Ventus' magic is capable of doing that."

"Oh," I said as I lowered my head, avoiding the gaze of her eyeballs. In my heart, I hope that he soon realizes his actions. His face was so close to me that I could feel his breath.

As if he could read my mind, Zeyn immediately cleared his throat and returned to his original seat. "So I have something to ask you."

"Is this about..."

"Yes, about what you've done with Kei's friends."

I swallowed spit. This man in front of me is like my principal's father. It also reminded me of my interview with Miss Lucy. How I was scared to death.

"They invited me to hunt Krilie," I answered honestly. Zeyn immediately nodded. "Krilie?! Make what?!"

"Said Rio, their wings can be sold at a high price."

"But you're only human!" Zeyn patted the table so hard, that the wind hit me in the face. "That's dangerous! You could die!"

"So you're tracking him?!" Zeyn bobbing head. "This is unacceptable. You don't even have the talent of abilities like Fae, why they" Zeyn didn't continue. I just keep looking down.

"This must have something to do with your divination ability" he whispered. My hair began to rise when I heard the sound of its weight. I nodded slowly.

"No way," Zeyn squeezed his long robe. "There can't be any more Fae who knows your abilities."

Suddenly I raised my head. "You-you mean?"

"It's dangerous, Clara." Zeyn was still staring at me sharply. "Have you forgotten about Chrys? What did he do to kidnap you? Your friend got hurt. You're very vulnerable to attack, Clara."

Of course I didn't forget about that evil Fae. "Then you won't allow me to leave the house?"

Zeyn pursed his lips. His expression this time was illegible. "I hope you can understand me, Clara," she said in a soft voice. He came up to me, and touched my cheek with his rough fingers. I'm slack. "I won't burden you."

Whatdoes thatmean? So I'm being held in this cabin? I opened my mouth and was about to ask the question, but Zeyn's finger had already been taped to my lips.

"Of course not." Zeyn smiled sweetly. It made his face more handsome. "You're free to go anywhere, as long as you cover your identity."

Mercifully. I heaved a sigh of relief, but Zeyn had not finished speaking. "I have to stay by your side and escort you."

"Attacking?!" I said half screaming. Zeyn walked away from me, with both hands behind his back. "Yes, escort. I'll make sure you're protected, and that no more Fae knows your secret."

***

That night, I couldn't sleep. I kept staring at the ceiling of my room. Did I make the right decision when I met these Fae? Will my life be happy?

I turned my body to the side, and put both of my hands under my cheeks. Zeyn's words were still ringing in my mind.

Zeyn will escort me, meaning I will be followed wherever I go.

Why does he really care about me? Why am I being treated so special by him?

My head is already dizzy. My mind is tired, but my body says something else. I closed my eyes, waited until the dream came back and I could sleep.

"Grandmother.." I whispered. "I miss."

That night, I had a dream. Not a dream about Chrys, not a single dream related to Fae. Just an ordinary dream, a dream that normal humans have ever experienced.

Dreams where you can meet the people you love, without fear of loss. Dreams where everything can happen, including reuniting with Grandma.

"Don't be sad, son," Grandma whispered as she stroked my hair. "In a moment, you'll be reunited."

"discovered? With who?" I looked at Grandma's face. A face that looks shining. There was no sign of wrinkles, there was only the clean face of a young woman.

"With someone who will love you so much" he whispered again. "She's appeared before you, yet you don't know her yet."
