Chapter 219 Unfamiliar Voice

As they looked at the water, Alix then decided to look at the time.

"It's almost midnight," he said.

"Already?" she inquired.

"If you didn't notice, we left a while ago, time waits for no one, we just didn't realize because we were distracted," he responded.

"If it were up to me, I'd stay here all night," she said while he gazed at the moon's reflection on the water.

"Adora, when did you start pushing yourself to get stronger?" he inquired.

"When my mother died, I used to train before, but not as much," she responded.

"Uh... Sorry," he apologized, and she smiled slightly.

"It's okay, what's done is done, and there's nothing we can do about it, even worse happened to you," she replied and he looked at her with more interest but then remembered her promise.

"Are you losing patience with me?" she inquired, and he lowered his head before taking a deep breath and gazing up at the stars.

"I'm not in a hurry," he replied.

"If you say so, you sure are patient when it comes to this," she said as she stood up.

"We have been out long enough; do you want to go back now? Or do you want to stay out longer because I don't mind?" She asked and he smirked and then stood up.

"Hmm, I think we should head back now, princess, it's getting late, so come on," he replied, and they jumped over the wall and returned to the car after saying goodbye to the girl who had invited them to sit by the bonfire even though they were strangers.

When they returned to the castle, Alix parked the car and they got out, she yawned, and he looked at her.

"You should go to sleep now," he said as they entered the castle, where everyone else was sleeping.

"Yeah, I'll try," she said as her eyes closed and she was about to fall, but Alix grabbed her and saw she had fallen asleep, and he smiled, lifted her up in his arms, and carried her to his room, where he placed her on his bed and covered her with his blanket.

"For once she is actually very sleepy and actually fell asleep," he muttered as he looked at her, then took his shirt and boot off and placed a vest on, turned off the lights, and climbed into bed then covered with the same blanket.

After a little while, Alix fell asleep without a problem.

A few hours later, while Adora was sleeping, she began to have dreams in which she heard screaming and saw blurry images.

"Adora," a voice she didn't recognize called out.

"Who?" she muttered as she noticed a dark cloud encircling her and lightning flashing.

"Adora," said a heavy yet cold voice, and her hands began to tremble in her sleep.

"Adora, run, don't fight run!" someone shouted and her body started to get cold.

"There is no way to escape," said the same cold voice as she heard a roar and saw blood splattering on the ground.

"No..." she mumbled as she grabbed onto Alix's hand and his eyes opened when he felt how cold her body was and he looked at her.

"Adora," he said as she squeezed his arm.

"You have got quite a strong grip," he said.

"Wake up, Adora," Alix said.

"Alix," she called out within her dream which she felt trapped in and Alix's eyes started glowing red as he looked at her.

"Adora, wake up," he yelled, yanking her awake, and she braced her head against his shoulder.

"S- Sorry," she apologized, and he sighed.

"Calm down, your body is cold," he said sleepily, yawning as she looked at him.

"Go back to sleep, Alix, sorry for waking you up, and thank you for letting me sleep here," she said as she climbed out of his bed.

"Where are you going?" he asked and she gnashed her teeth.

"To my room, good night Alix," she said as she checked the time and saw it was already 5 a.m.

"Well, it's already morning," she smiled as she exited his room, and he lowered his head.

"What kind of dream did she have?" he wondered as he leaned back against his bed and fell asleep again.

"Good morning," Adora said as she returned to her room, shut the door, and opened the seal.

"What's the problem?" "I noticed your body acting strangely just now, Adora," the shadow said.

"It was because of a dream," she explained.

"Worse dreams?" it inquired.

"Yeah... Worse dreams," she responded, her hair falling in front of her face and the one within her sighed.

"I'm sorry, but did you have a good night?" It inquired, and she smiled.

"Yeah, I had fun, I felt so relaxed after a while," she replied, and the shadow smiled.

"I'm glad to hear that coming from you, Adora," it said as she sat on the couch and turned on the TV, the shadow staring at her.

"Are you really not going back to sleep?" it inquired.

"No, not going back to sleep, you can stay out until I am ready to leave this room, in the meantime, I might as well do something with my time," she replied, then put on a movie to watch while the shadow kept her company.

Later that morning, after 9 am, Adora came out of her room well freshened up and went to the living room where Vince ran and hugged her and she smiled then patted him on the head.

"Good morning, guys," she said, and Alix smiled at her.

"Good morning, had fun last night?" Nina asked.

"Yeah, I did," she replied, and Alix glanced at her.

"Oh really? Well, that's good then maybe we should thank Alix," Kyris said and Adora smirked.

"I feel like hitting you right now, Kyris, have you guys had breakfast yet?" she inquired.

"Here," Alix said as he handed her a cup of coffee, which she accepted.

"We had breakfast, you should go have yours," Alix said and she smiled then sat down beside him.

"I'm not hungry, but thanks for the coffee," she replied before sipping it.
