Chapter 4: (unedited)

Chapter 4💙

"Vy!! Wake up, Vy!"

"Haaahhck!!! Hahh!! Hah!!" She woke up with a start. She gasped hard in an attempt to calm her breath down.

At that moment, she felt like her body had frozen from the chill she felt deep inside.

She was only able to calm down only after minutes have passed.

"Vy, have you calmed down?"

Only then did she notice that Serk's arms were wrapped around her in a form of a back hug and that her hands were clutching Serk's arms to tightly it was leaving nail marks.

Usually, she would've removed his arms from around her but this time, instead of moving and leaving his embrace, she loosened her hands slightly and held on.

Today, now, even only at this short moment, she wish to be wrapped in this warmth.

Unbeknownst to her, Serk was gazing at her back with unfathomable eyes, silently studying her movements.

He had stepped into her room with the intention to wake her up for dinner.

He had expected to find her sleeping deeply without any worries but upon entering her room, he instead saw her having nightmares.

Looking at her small frame that's shivering due to the nightmare she was experiencing made him unable to stop himself from hugging her while calling her name.

Only when he had hugged her did he realize that she was soaked in her own sweat and that she was shivering in fear.

Never before had Serkien seen Vyfelle looking so scared and panicked. Even though it's just a nightmare, she was sobbing and shivering in fear. She was also scratching around and clutching at his hands.

When she woke up and had finally calmed down, he had already braced himself to treated coldly. But unexpectedly, she let him hold her.

Even though her actions was so slight it can barely be seen, he had noticed it when she loosened her fingers upon seeing the scratch marks on his arms.

Such actions made him confused. Sometimes, she acted so cold so aloof and so uncaring, but sometimes, there were moments where she seem so vulnerable and sad.

This warm action of hers, instead of making him feel happy only made him feel like something dreadful was coming...it give him the feeling of dread coming...

(AL'sN: Just a passing thought as I'm sitting here on the balcony while writing and looking at the stars though: As I look at a pair of husband and wife, I suddenly imagined myself being tied to one person for the rest of my life and it feels so scary. Sure, at the beginning, it seems sweet and exciting...but once the days passes, as the months and years pass by. Being tied to one person feel choking and really scary.... Or was this my thought due to the fact that I'm still young? Maybe as the days passes, I'll agree with what the others said? That living a peaceful life with your loved one was something beautiful and desired by most? That growing old with your beloved was the greatest blessing?...💙) (A very short chapter was made tonight though...gomenಥ‿ಥ..)
