Wings & Dreams

Ch.10 - Tired

The next morning, I was not at all excited to get up early. The atmosphere at breakfast also worsened my mood. Clora who as usual pretended not to be aware of my existence, coupled with Zeyn's presence and the gaze of her eyes that kept watching me.

Bodyguards. From today on, I will continue to be stalked like a dog that is being strung by its master. I shook my head and continued to eat this tasteless vegetable in front of me.

"There's still leftover food" Kei said as he thrust it at me. "I think you ate it, Clara."

"Oh, it's okay." I raised my hand and refused. "I'm full already."

"Don't lie. From then on you look lethargic," Zeyn said slowly. I continued to chew my food. "I slept less yesterday."

"I'm done eating." Clora suddenly got up from the chair and flicked her finger. Food droppings suddenly floated and immediately fell and moved into the trash. I immediately felt envious of his ability. If I could do that and snap my fingers every time I want to clean the house, maybe every day I could just laze in bed.

Zeyn tightened his jaw. "This is why you can't take him hunting, Kei," he said, stressing the phrase. The girl gulped and nodded. "I'm sorry. That mistake I won't repeat."

"So, I think I need to know about it now," Zeyn propped his chin up on his hand. "Are you using your abilities again, Clara?"

"Yes" I replied without hesitation.

Zeyn smiled with satisfaction. "And the results?"

"I hurriedly remembered the contents of my dream the moment I woke up. I saw Chrys."

Zeyn's pupils darkened. Like a storm in the hot sun, his expression instantly changed. "And...?"

"She can talk, but she can communicate with him." Kei helped me answer. "Maybe he not only gets a vision to see something, but can feel it."

My hair is goosebumps. Maybe Kei overestimated my abilities.

"So, she can communicate too?" Zeyn muttered without seeing me. He was busy staring at his dinner plate, but I knew his mind was drifting. "What about touch? Can you do that too?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"And you're fully conscious in your dreams?"

"Y-yes." I don't know where he knew that. Maybe he was just guessing. "But don't expect too much." I tried to steal his sight. "The downside is, once I wake up, I can't remember the contents of the dream."

"So you could say, free," said Kei. In my heart I agree. Maybe thanks to that reason, now Zeyn can weigh in to let me go. Anyway, Jon's cured and we can go back to

I'm sculpting. I almost forgot my friend. Though yesterday he wanted to take me home, but I had messed things up and now he must have hated me.

My chest became tight. I don't know what to do now. Even if Jon could return to the human world, I knew I couldn't, because now my situation was dire. Since I myself have already confirmed my abilities, that means the rumors are true.

I glanced at Kei. The girl had already leaked my secret to her two friends. He may believe them, but I still don't know them. What if they were to leak it out instead and more and more evil Fae like Chrys would come after me? What if they do the same trick, which is tracking me through my dreams? I don't even know if it can be done by them.

Zeyn again knew what I was thinking. "Don't think too much, Clara. I'll take care of you. You'll be fine as long as I'm by your side." With that, he smiled, making his face even more radiant. Her flying brown hair stupefied me.

"I told you what. You failed." Clora slammed the door hard, then looked at the human in front of her with a condescending look.

That man looks pathetic. His appearance was getting disheveled, and his tangled hair had been squeezed. From her visible eye bags, Clora knew Jon definitely couldn't sleep last night.

More precisely, the incident last night also made him unable to sleep. Zeyn obviously had paid a lot of attention to the little human girl, but she was not beautiful at all. Human height is lower, and their posture is sometimes not upright, coupled with spots on their faces.

"How's this? I'm out again." The man still muttered indistinctly, but Clora could still hear his voice, thanks to Faeenya's ears.

"So right said the girl? You attacked him and almost killed him?"

"I almost killed him?!" Only then did the man look at her with his black eyeballs. "I don't know. I thought I was just..."

"Strigger him to death," Clora closed her sentence. "It's so great of you. No respect for women."

Jon buried his head and bent his knees. Clora walked up to him, and knelt before him. "Aren't you going home by yourself?"

"alone?" Jon raised his head. Up close, he could see clearly. The fatigue that emanated from his eyes. "No. I'm gonna take Clara."

"Is that so? I doubt he'll accept you again after last night."

Clora smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the man who was speechless. Indeed, she is a creepy girl. He was able to make the men kneel before him not wrinkled.

He immediately felt irritated because the weak man was still staring at his face. He recognized the gaze, the gaze that was dazzled by the beauty of his face. Clora hurriedly got up to her feet, but her hands were held back.

"You.I don't know what your name is yet" he whispered. Clora rolled her eyeballs. "What's important, Jon?" The man was silent again, surprised that he had already known his name first.

"Don't be surprised, man."

"What's your name?" He asked again, still holding his wrist fearlessly. Maybe eventually this guy was used to seeing Fae.

"Clora." He counted to ten, and sure enough. His hand was finally removed. "Well, you rest. You need energy and energy to get out of here."

"Maybe right" he whispered. He then crawled towards his bed. Bed sheets until it looks messy because it is not cleaned for days.

"You know, this used to be my room?" Suddenly asked. Jon shook his head. "Why don't you sleep here again?"

Clora grunts in disbelief. "From the many questions you can ask, you choose to ask such a question?!"

Jon scrunched his forehead. "Are I not supposed to ask you that?"

"So!" The reply was half screaming. "That's personal!"

"But you brought up the matter of this room first" he said, still staring at him in confusion. Clora shook her head. "I'm crazy to try to talk to humans."

"What did you say?"

"Sleep there!" Without looking back at her again, Clora had already closed the door of the room hard.

"Woa, Clora! What's up?" Ask Kei from a distance. His friend approached him. Before long, he laughed.

"Why the hell?" Ask Clora wonder. Kei still laughed out loud. "No. Your face is like..."

"What-like?!" Ask annoyed. "I don't want to joke right now, Kei. I'm tired of facing that man."

"Haha!" He laughed again until he held his stomach. "Who told you to enter the room anyway?"

"I'm..." Clora could feel her cheeks getting hotter from embarrassment. "Ughhh!"
