The only thought running through his brain now was, “Why would someone like her try to help a monster like me?” Arren noticed how pretty she looked right then, and he was hypnotized. Her hair formed a beautiful radiance about her. Her face reflected the moonlight stunningly, and her eyes sparkled in the luminous beams. He turned to look at her, and noticed her persistent look. She then reached her hand over to his joined ones on his legs. “Even so, that isn’t nearly enough to repay for the terrible things I’ve done. Therru’s gaze became serious as her brows furrowed. “But I know that you’re not a monster, and never will be. However, it quickly became a frown and he took his arm off her shoulder, and clasped his hands together on his knees.

But thanks to you, I was able to break free from it.” He gave her a small smile and Therru returned the gesture. I was always thinking how I would be able to live with myself if I hurt one of my friends. You saw that, and I still regret it to this day. “My darkness overtook me, and made terrible decisions. “I was a true monster when my shadow was still separated from me,” Arren started. He’s comforting her, now she should return the favor.

Therru now put her full attention on him, and rested her hand on top of the one on her shoulder. Arren continued, “especially not me, because I felt the same way as you did once.”Īrren then looked at the floorboards under his bed, remembering his dark past. Not Tenar, Sparrowhawk, and,” he started massaging it, and Therru’s face started to redden. She never did anything wrong for as long as he’s known her, unlike him who had sins stacked in the back of his mind ones that he will forever regret.Īrren then, after some silent thinking, put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Arren thought she would not have any reason to think so. He would have never thought in a million years that Therru would have thoughts like this like his were from time to time. He was astonished even further with her behavior. She then hugged herself, showing her discomfort and anxiety. What if that ever happens and I end up hurting you? What if I become a monster? I would never forgive myself.” And that you died… All because of me.” Arren was silent for a moment, deep in thought.
Therru nodded silently before saying, “I dreamt that I had turned into my dragon form and burned the cottage. “Do you want to talk about it?” asked Arren, voicing his earlier concerns. He did the same and gazed to her direction. He, who was still awake from earlier, hummed a response and heard Therru shifting to sit up. Later, Therru whispered, “Arren, are you still awake?” He could hear Therru shifting in the sheets next to him, turning her back towards him. Muttering a goodnight, a still worried Arren sighed and lay back down.
Therru then wiped the trail of tears from her scarred face and lay down with him. “S-sure.”Īrren lay back down on his bed and moved to make room for her. However it was unnoticeable in the dim light of the night. This surprised him even more, causing Arren’s face to burn. Therru sniffed as she mumbled, “Can I sleep with you tonight?” Arren then released her from his embrace and let her calm down. Let it all out.” He held onto her tighter as he started to rub her back.Īfter a while her breathing became normal and her tears ceased. Arren whispered, “It’s ok Therru, I’m here. Therru clutched his nightshirt in her grasp and pulled herself closer to him. With the initial shock quickly passing, he slowly wrapped his arms around the quivering girl and rocked back and forth, hoping to soothe her. Then, the tears wracked her shoulders and she quickly clinged to Arren’s torso and cried silently into his shoulder. “Are you ok?” A moment of silence befell the two teens. He leaned closer, trying to meet her eyes. Arren’s expression became even more concerned when he noticed that Therru was looking anywhere but him, and her hands were clasped tightly on her lap. “I had a nightmare, and it really scared me.” She murmured. Therru sat down next to him on the mattress, not looking at his face.
This confused him, because Therru was a strong person in his eyes, not someone who would cry very often. Her eyes looked glassy, as if she was holding back tears, and the corners of her mouth were quivering. He rubbed the sleep off of his eyes and replied groggily, “Hm? Therru? Is there something wrong?”Īrren yawned the last of his sleepiness and got up to sit at the edge of his bed, facing the half dragon girl with a look of concern adjourning his features. The wood floors creaked beneath her as she bent down and reached a hand his shoulder, gently shaking it in an attempt to wake him up.Īrren groaned as he was awoken from his slumber. The girl heard a snore in response, so she tiptoed her way to the ex-prince’s bed, with only the moonlight from the window to guide her. A feminine voice called from outside the boy’s door.
