(From Blue's Perspective)
That night, Dem and I went to the magic tower. On the way, Dem clung to like glue. He did not let go of my hand and often gave pecks on my lips. I did not know why he was doing it, but since I liked to be close to him as well, I did not care.
"I love you," he said.
"I know."
Luc told us to wait and went to bring sothing. I had a feeling that he had gone to bring a dagger.
"You still can say no," Dem said.
"I'm fine- I told you," I said.
We were sitting on the couch as usual. Luc seed to have cleaned it a bit. He said that I was coming as well, so he wanted to make a good impression as my friend. Luc was actually a good friend and he was trustworthy as well, or Dem would never keep him by his side.
I had no idea that Luc warned Ezekiel and told him to stay away. I had noticed that Ezekiel was being odd, but I had no idea that he felt that way towards and that was also very strongly. Even Luc and Ruby noticed it before and tried to warn him. I could tell that they were very loyal and trustworthy.
Luc ca back with a dagger as I expected. The dagger looked scary, especially the way the sharp edges shone. I did not want to look scared since Dem would not let do it if so. But perhaps he had figured it out already.
"I told you to say no if you're uncomfortable," he said.
"I'm fine," I said.
"She is fine, she said. Stop being so annoying for god's sake," Luc grumbled. "I understand that you love your wife. But aren't you being too much?"
"It's alright," I said. "He is just worried. But I'm really fine, so don't worry."
I patted on Dem's arm to calm him down. He glared at Luc as if he could burn him down with his eyes.
"Blue better go first," Luc said.
I knew why he said that. Perhaps he thought that I would get scared if I saw it cutting through Dem's skin. He was right in a way. I would definitely get scared.
"Are you okay with it?" Dem asked and Luc rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I nodded and gave him a reassuring smile.
Luc asked for my hand and I placed it on his left hand. He brought out the dagger and I looked away. But he did not cut my skin.
"No, it won't do... Give your shoulder," Luc said clicking his tongue.
"Shoulder?" I asked.
"Why?" Dem asked, eyeing him.
"Getting the blood would be easier if it's her shoulder," Luc explained. "Don't give that look. It's not like I want to hurt her either."
Dem unzipped my dress slightly and helped get the sleeve down my shoulder slightly. This ti Luc slashed through my skin quickly before I could understand. I could feel blood pouring out of the cut endlessly. Luc placed sothing there and collected the blood. It did not hurt as much as the beginning and kind of felt normal.
"You alright?" Dem asked.
"Hmm," I mumbled. It was surprising how many tis he asked to make sure that I was okay. It made kind of happy that he cared for that much.
It took a while to collect my blood. Even though I told him not to, Dem still licked the wound right in front of Luc to heal it. It was very embarrassing.
"Do you have to do it when I am in the room?" Luc grumbled.
"How will the wound be healed then?" Dem muttered. "Did you see how much blood she lost?"
After Dem healed the wound, Luc collected his blood as well. When he cut his skin, I was observing his face to see his reaction. But to my surprise, he was unmoved completely.
"Are you okay?" I asked him.
He chuckled and pinched on my nose with his other hand. "Why would I not be okay?"
"He has a body that doesn't hurt at all," Luc said. "I know what you're thinking. The world is indeed unfair."
"And Detrius even said that there was sothing you would like to talk to about. It was very unusual of him, so I was surprised," Luc added. "What is it?"
"Ah, do I have to say it now? It's weird to talk like this. I an, you're collecting blood..."
"Alright, then," Luc said. "I will finish it soon, after then..."
Luc went to place the blood aside. It was pretty disgusting to look at the bright red liquid. But Dem seed unaffected. It did not surprise . A man who could kill people like mosquitos could not possibly be affected by blood. It was stupid of to ask if he was alright because of that little cut, but still, I did not like it.
"You look like you want to talk to about sothing," Dem said.
"Yeah," I said. "I do."
I had not yet talked to him about his eyes. His mother told a lot of things about it. But the person I wanted to hear everything from was him.
"About what?" he asked.
"Is it okay if I tell you this later? It's supposed to be a secret," I said.
"What is..."
Dem wanted to say sothing, but he stopped as Luc had already co back. He flopped on the couch beside with an eager but rested face.
"Now, tell what is it that you want to talk about," Luc said, placing his arms crossed on his thighs and leaning forward while glancing at sideways.
"Well, it's about black mage," I muttered.
"Black mage? What about them?" Luc asked.
"Well, I have been having weird dreams for a while now," I said.
"Is it about the dream where you talk to soone?" Luc asked.
"No, it's sothing else and even weirder," I said. I did not even tell Dem about this, but now he would find out about it as well. "It's well... I an, Dem appeared in my dreams and he was saying weird things."
Dem looked uncomfortable, but he did not seem surprised. But I did not rember telling him about it at all.
"What weird things?" Luc asked.
"Well, so scary things, but Dem is not soone to tell sothing like that," I said. "And I think a black mage is around and manipulated with my thoughts."
Luc did not look as surprised as I thought he would be, even Dem was surprised to see his normal reaction.
"Are you sure that Detrius has never told the things he said in your dream?" Luc asked.
"No... No, he hasn't," I replied.
"Alright," Luc said. "I think I can guess what you want from . My answer is yes. I will be with you for so days."
"Why are you like this about it?" Dem asked. "You don't look surprised at all."
"Well, a few years ago, I sensed the mana of a black mage for the first ti. But then, when I went to look for them, it vanished. Black mages are able to hide their mana energy though it takes a lot of practice and experience. Then, a few days ago, it happened again. It was when I went to get so pie from the main palace kitchen.
That day, I tried to look for the source as well, but then, it vanished yet again. That's why, it's possible that a black mage manipulated her thoughts. But the question is, why her?"
"I can guess," Dem muttered with a hand on his chin. "I think that person wants to separate us."
"Yeah, I think so too," I said.
When I had the dream and suspected that it was the black mage's doing, I had a feeling that it was because that person whoever it was wanted to create a wall between Dem and . The dream showed how scary Dem could be and it truly scared . But when Dem ca to again, the fear lted down as I saw the sincerity in his eyes. Whoever that person was surely failed. They could not separate us.
Still, a doubt remained in my mind. Everything had a base. If there was a suspicion, it ant there was a base to that suspicion too.
What if Dem thought about those things? What if it was not wrong? It might not be entirely right, but it also might not be entirely wrong. There needed to be a base for such things.
Dem's previous words ca back to . The way he said he wanted and how much he wanted .
It was not normal. None of it was normal at all.
He could be severely obsessed with , even more than I thought. Was it not dangerous for then? Was I was so very safe with him like I thought previously?
I decided not to think about it for a while. I needed so peace and quiet. For that, for the ti being, I needed to stop thinking about such things. Even if he was that much obsessed with , at least, he would not hurt , would he?
