"Alright this is the door! I will save her no matter what!"
My Love has found the source of my illness. I must hurry. I enter what may be my last door.
/ Click!/
It's a classroom. I see My Love. The red bump has nearly healed. All the students were talking to each other, except for My Love. He instead, was reading a problem book and solving them with some white paper on his desk. The 4 pests are together. At different times they all take glances at My Love. I would slaughter them if this was reality. As I try to calm my bloodlust, what must be the teacher walks in.
" Good morning class! Before break ends, I thought I'd announce the results of the end of term exams. The teacher goes through the students' names, the pests did well. They scored in the top 10 of the year. And at last, My Love was called. He was number 1 for his year. I nodded.
* Pride!*
With pride in my chest I can safely state that it only makes sense for My Love to be the best! He's won my heart after all! Once the teacher leaves, the pests begin to make attempts to move towards My Love. But they were too slow. A boy shorter than My Love with black hair and brown eyes opened that disgusting thing he called a mouth and insulted My Love.
" Well, it only makes sense for the freak to have 1 redeeming quality! what a nice score you had genius."
* ANGER!*
My blood was boiling and so was My Love's.
" Who are you?"
My Love... He spoke in a tone I never heard from all the memories I had seen. It seemed to have shocked the pests as well. Good, I'm glad he has a fire in him. It might be nice to have him do as I please, but I know a True Marriage between us can only last if we're willing to show our true selves, warts and all. But even his anger filled face makes my heart flutter. He's so handsome... But now isn't the time for that! The disgusting thing began to speak again. Why must I be cursed from being able to interact with these memories... One punch and I can put my fist through his chest...
" I'm Luke, you loser! You should remember my name! I'm the guy who's going to mop the floor with you in the next test!"
" Luke? Luke? Luke Smith? Ah number 9! Are you sure about that? I didn't even see your name in the top 20 on the entrance exam scores. Are you sure you're not punching above your weight?"
The class went silent as they should! My Love put this fool in his place!
" The only reason I'm number 9 is because I have friends and don't spend all my time studying like you freak!"
" I have a friend, it's Laura."
I want to cut this Luke's head off! My Love looks at the pest and she begins to speak.
" Yes, John and I are friends! We've been friends for a long time so you can stop trying to bully him!"
"AH! Yeah, you and he walk to school together, don't you? Everyone's been talking about it! So, spill the beans Laura, are you dating him?"
With the eyes of the whole classroom on her, the pest speaks.
" NO, we aren't dating! I'd never date him!"
* Pain.*
With that, it felt like glass shattered in my chest. My Love is hurting deeply from that. He's starting to second guess their entire relationship. What a conundrum... I'm sad he feels this way, yet I'm so glad she screwed up this badly... Love truly changes a woman.
" HaHa! Freak don't get your hopes up!"
" Luke, ENOUGH!"
That Lucy pest spoke in a loud voice.
* Rage...*
My Love is filled with anger at that disgusting pig. It's bad enough with him, but that pest Laura is now trying to glance at My Love, probably realizing how badly she messed up while the other 2 look on in silence. Oh, it's too late for you now, Laura... Thank you for your foolishness... Lucy is giving an earful to that pig, but she's making no attempts to apologize to My Love. The scene melts... My chest begins to calm itself. I won't allow them anywhere near him after that. Those pests don't even deserve to breathe the same air as My Love! If they appear before me, I must cut them down immediately!
/ Rumble!/
The hallway began to shift and rumble, I could see cracks forming all around... It seems my time is running out. However, I have time for another door while the infrastructure around me is fading away I quickly enter another door.

* RAGE!*
It is a cabin this time. There is a get together of young people. I find My Love, guided by his emotions. I'm a witness to an argument that happens. My Love finally gives that Laura a piece of his mind. All 4 of them are in shock! It serves those cowards right! A White Light smashes down before Laura speaks, but that look she had... She was going to try to move his emotions. The White Light must be a Summoning. A door appears in the Light. I enter it as the memory fades. In the hallway doors are disappearing. but I see one more that's stable! I quickly enter it!
/ Click!/
I'm in the Castle Hallways. My Love is in a group with My Parents. They're heading to my room. this must be his most recent memory. He looks at My Parents.
* Warm!*
I feel warmth, good he likes My Parents that's one hurdle gone. They make it to my room, they enter, he enjoys the design I picked for my room. I can feel a smile form on my face from that... I can't believe just from that, I'm this happy... Does Love really make me this easy to please? Regardless of my thoughts, He moves to me. He removes my curtain and views me.
* Flutter!*
This feeling!!! He's attracted to me! Thank the Gods! He lost himself staring at my face. My smile grows even larger. This feeling. He wants to heal me so badly and he wants to meet me! The room is starting to fade. I hear My Love say "Holy Heal" I hug him from behind and I can't help but whisper my Vow.
" Soon we will meet! And we will be together forever! I won't allow you to ever feel pain like with them again! I Promise I'll Protect you from that. And all I ask for in return is your Love and I will have it, I Promise."
* Kiss!*
I kiss his cheek before he disappears. And I feel reality call to me. I close my eyes and wait to meet My Love. Because I know he'll be the first person I meet after so long.
* Pain! Warm!*
As I feel light through my closed eyes, I can feel my eyes hurting somewhat. I suppose this is what happens when they haven't been opened in a long time? I also sense that warmth again. So comfortable. I open my eyes to him. His beautiful eyes staring back at me with those kissable lips I can't decide which part of him to get lost in... I eventually chose his eyes, his beautiful eyes that used to reflect those pests... Only now, they reflect my face back at me. The way it's supposed to be. Now I know for sure I'm the one in his sights. And I won't ever give that position up. He smiles at me just as with the other girls, and I too fall just as they did. I suppose I really am that easy now? Regardless, He speaks to me.
" Welcome back, Princess Sarah!"
As I stare at him, I think about what to do next. I must find a way for him to speak to me casually. I need him to become more intimate with me, more comfortable... Then I'll enter his heart and take it over as quickly as possible! Who knows how many bugs will be attracted to this sweet honey when it's out in the open like this if I don't stop them!? As I was thinking of how best to proceed, our sweet moment was rudely interrupted.
/ Crackle! Swoosh!/
" !"
Someone fired magic at My Love. Wait he cast a Barrier Spell on me. I fight back a smile and proceed to fulfill my promise. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE WILL HURT HIM WHILE I'M HERE!
* Raise! Jump!*
/ Fwishh.../
I get up and stand in front of him and protect him. I now notice my body is fully healed. Holy Heal is quite powerful. After canceling out the magic, I glance behind me, and I see how exhausted My Love is. My rage consumes me, I try to calm down, but the rush is too much, I howl in rage from the sight.
" HoW DaRe YoU AttAck HiM! YoU'LL PaY WiTH YoUR LiFe!"
I appear to scare everyone in the room except for My Parents. My Father looks nostalgic for some reason? And my Mother looks as if she understands everything. Regardless I must fight to quell this fire! I bellow out as I use my Skill, Mana Spear to arm myself before attacking.
" HOW DARE YOU!"
* Thrust!*
I thrust my spear at the enemy. It appears to be Peter. I never truly liked him, he always felt off. He dodged my thrust, I follow his trail and begin to attack again. He continued to dodge till I found an opening in a moment of respite, I'll pierce his skull for attacking My Love! He summoned his daggers and blocked my attack.
/ Clang! Woosh/
He used an Assassin Skill to create distance. It matters not, I'll crush him regardless for his crime!
* Jump!*
I jump, hoping to bait a response... And it worked to perfection.
/ Crackle! Woosh!/
* Push!*
He attempts to hit me with 3 Lightning Spells. I use a basic Wind Magic to change my position in the air and begin my new assault. He continues to dodge. Maybe this is a golden opportunity! Instead of just showing my Martial Skill, I'll show my Love my pedigree as a Spellcaster! I begin to charge one of my most Powerful Magics. This will impress him for sure!
* Tied! Tighten!*
At that moment, I was frozen by My Mother. She cancelled my Spell and used a Binding Spell on me. It seems Peter was stopped by My Father... My chance to leave a good first impression was taken without remorse... What a shame... I could cry...
" No, it isn't a shame! You would've destroyed a room that has been a part of this Castle for 5 Generations of Kings, Sarah!"
I heard My Mother's voice in my head... But how?
" What kind of Magician do you take me for, My Dear Daughter?"
" You can hear my thoughts, Mother?"
" Of course, I can! But enough about me, we need to talk! You've fallen in Love with that child, haven't you? don't deny me! It's clear as day from your thoughts being full of protecting and showing off to him!"
She's got me... It's not like I need to lie anyways...
" Yes, Mother I love John! Is that going to be a problem!?"
" Not at all! That child is a good one! If not you. I was hoping to pair him with Cyn!
* Anger!*
Settle down. I won't have to now if you want him!"
My anger flared at the mention of John being taken from me. That alerted My Mother.
" I have thought up a plan during your fight with Peter! Tomorrow, your Father and I will announce John's deeds to the public and with that, we will publicly announce his Rewards. Originally, I was going to let your Father decide on them all, but I'll make one of them your hand in Marriage! what do you think?"
* Bliss!*
A scene of my Wedding to My Love flashed through my mind and the joy was barely containable.
" Calm down, let's not scare him off. For now, be on your best behavior so as to not scare him. Take it from me, a little goes a long way in these matters! Trust me! I used the same tactics to secure your Father's Love for me! I'll slowly convince your Father to accept it, I may need you to voice your True Feelings on the subject, so be prepared."
" As you wish, Mother! Now though... Can you please undo your Spell so I can go and make a first impression!?"
" Sure, but before you run off and do that!"
/ Step. Step. Step./
My Mother walked towards me and I heard a sound that I wasn't expecting.
/ SNIFFLE!/
" I love you so much Sarah Beth Dreadnaught!"
Mother started to cry... And from her words, I started tearing up too!
/ SNIFFLE!/
" MOTHER!"
* Hug! GRIP!*
My Mother hugs me and I hug her as well. And soon after My Father joins us. And like that I had an emotional reunion with My Parents.
