1 year anniversary special: Lua’s Dream

[Lua’s POV]

... Where am I? ... I was sleeping next to Brian, right? ... But this isn’t the room. This isn’t the bed. This is...

I sat up and looked around. I was in a room I didn’t know and I had been sleeping in a massive canopy bed. This bed was the size of at least four of the beds Brian and I were supposed to be sharing, so where am I? This has to be the Earl’s bed, right? Only he would have such a large bed. Did something happen to me over night and I was moved to a bigger bed? That has to be it, right?

But what could have happened? I feel just fine.

As I was still pondering that, a woman in a purple dress opened the door and walked into the room. I couldn’t see her face because of the curtains around the bed, but I could see her outline. The purple color made her pop quite well.

“My lady, are you awake?” She asked softly as she approached the bed. I recognize her voice, but whose is it?

“Yes. I just woke up.” I responded, before I even realized.

She opened the curtains and I got a first good look at her. As soon as I did, I instantly recognized her. The green hair, light blue skin, yellow eyes, as well as her purple dress and wings. Camula. Or should I call her Vampire Lady? Why is she here? Did Brian summon her?

“How are you feeling?” Camula asked. “Any morning sickness today?”

“No, I feel just fine.” I answered.

Wait, that isn’t what I wanted to say. Why did I? And sickness? So I am sick?

“That is a relief.” Camula said. “Here, I brought you a cup of blood. Please drink it.”

She handed me a hand carved wooden cup filled with blood, and I took it into my hands. Before drinking it, I looked over the cup. On one side, there was a carving of a spiral shape. I think it might be the same, or at least similar to the spiral on the back of Brian’s cards. On the other side, a name was carved.

Lucia Wood.

... what is this? Why is that?

I didn’t have much time to think about that, as I brought the cup to my lips and took a sip.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

“... he really didn’t have to ...” I muttered to myself.

The blood in the cup was from a source I recognized. It was Brian’s blood. I would recognize it from a million different samples of blood.

“Master hoped it would help you with your morning sickness.” Camula said to me.

“It does.” I said. “Where is he?” I asked.

“He had to leave in the middle of the night. Another dimensional fissure opened. Master went to close it and suppress the monsters with Lady Alice.” Camula said.

“Another one? Isn’t this the third this week? How bad is it?” I asked, sounding perfectly calm.

Camula guided me to a nice seat close by, and I sat down. She then walked over to what looked like one of those terminals that Brian has in his factory. She did something on it, and after a bit, she spoke up.

“Master is just a few minutes away, and will be landing soon.” She said, and walked next to me.

“Thank you.” I just said back.

Landing. So that means he is flying in. I wonder what he is flying? The big invisible ship, or the small and fast one?

“He is here.” Camula warned me.

I tried to look around, hoping I could spot him, but I didn’t see anything, so he must be in the invisible ship.

Suddenly, a large three-headed dragon appeared from behind the outer wall, almost like it had been flying up from below us. It wasn’t one which I recognized, and it looked like it was made of metal. I didn’t know Brian has metal dragons.

The dragon then landed, its long metal tail setting on the grass. From its back, two people jumped off.

The first one was Alice. She seemed ... different? I don’t know how to put my finger on it, but she wasn’t like I thought she should be.

But at least the second person was just as I expected. Brian looked like he always looked like. He was dressed in his hoodie and jeans combo, like he does, and he had his ... duel disk out. On it, I just barely spotted one purple framed card, likely the card for that three-headed metal dragon.

“Brian!” I called out for him.

“Eh? Lua? You are ... Why are you here? Are you feeling fine? What about your..?” He asked multiple questions in a row, as if he was panicking a bit.

“I’m feeling just fine today, thanks to your blood.” I answered. “And it is important that I stay active on the days I’m feeling good, isn’t it?”

“... I ... I suppose so.” He agreed. “But really, are you sure? Camula, you are keeping an eye on her, right?”

“Of course, Master.” Camula answered, with a slight bow.

“You’d better.” Brian said. “If she gets hurt because of your lack of oversight, I’ll ban you from using the avatar dolls.” He threatened her.

Avatar dolls? What dolls? What is he talking about?

“Brian.” I said softly. “She has acted perfectly fine. Don’t threaten her for no reason.”

“Fine, fine.” He said, as he walked up to me. “But you know, I was worried about you, and I get like this when I’m worried.” He tried to explain himself.

“I know. I know.” I said. “Let’s head inside. I’m sure the two of you haven’t eaten yet.”

“You need food as well.” Brian said, as if reminding me. “Just the blood won’t be enough for the two of you.” As he said that, he ran his hand over my stomach. He then took a firm hold of me, and gently pulled me up from my seat, straight into a deep hug, which he then turned into a kiss.

... something is poking my cheek. But my kiss. What happened to it? I want it back. I used my hand to try to swat away the annoyance on my cheek. But because it didn’t stop, I opened my eyes, only to see Brian’s face close to mine.

“Good morning, sleepy head.”
