Begin Again (Part 9)

"Talk about the devil," her brother remarked, nodding towards the figure at the entrance. "That's definitely my cue to leave!"

And he hurried off in quick footsteps.

She approached him, smiling but a bit puzzled.

"I thought I'd check on you after today's events," he began.

"That's very considerate of you, Riven. You didn't have to," she said appreciatively.

"As crazy as this is going to sound, I care. I can only imagine what happened this evening, so I had to make sure to check on you," he replied sincerely.

"That's very sweet. I am fine. Thank you for taking the time to do that, especially after the hectic day you must have had yourself. You're a good friend," she replied warmly.

He chuckled nervously. "Friend... yeah. Well, this friend saw some pretty ugly shits this evening, and thought he might just take a another big risk before the next attack. We never know, I could run out of luck."

She frowned, puzzled. "I needed to make sure you know that I will fix whatever is going on. I guess it's a fucked-up way to teach me a lesson, but I am going to fight for you. Even if all our memories together are gone from your memory, even if I get erased, I will find a way to get back to normal. Our normal... now that sounded completely insane," he laughed, and she joined in.

"It absolutely did! And to be honest, I am not sure I understand" she admitted.

"Just try to remember that I love you, (Y/N)" he blurted out.

The silence hung heavily. "Your timing is very bad" she said with a low voice.

"And technically, you love me." He added

"You don't say..." she quickly responded, she wanted out of the awkward situation, and passing him, but she stopped abruptly upon hearing his next words.

"And, icing on the cake: You and I, we are dating! Or at least, we were... it's complicated."

"I can see that." She turned to face him

"I broke up with you."

"May I ask why?" she said in a harsh tone, feeling strangely hurt by the revelation

"Honestly, I'm not even sure anymore..."

"Are you doing this because you want closure?" She questioned her heart tightening, and accelerating. But she could not understand why. Could he be telling the truth? Why couldn’t she remember?

"No! I mean, honestly, this situation is fucking confusing..."

"You're a nice guy, Riven. But communication doesn't seem to be your forte. I'm going to assume this was a drunk conversation," she concluded, then turned and left for good.

As she approached her suite, she noticed a shadow at the door.

"This might be creepy, but I was hoping to see you before turning in," Zane greeted her.

"Zane, hey. You didn't have to. Funny, someone had the same idea."

"Oh. Someone I know?"

"Let's not go down that road... it's too late for heavy conversations."

"Well, let's not talk then," he smiled, opening his arms. "Sometimes all you need is a hug. And you look like you could use one right now."

She contemplated it for a moment before accepting. It felt nice—his strong yet gentle arms, his calm and soothing heartbeat, his regular warm breath on her head. It was pleasant yet oddly unsettling. As if this comforting moment was somehow wrong. For now, she decided to push those feelings aside. She was tired, emotionally stirred by her earlier conversations: her brother's warning and Riven's strange revelations had left her feeling on edge. So, she welcomed this support.

Zane started to rub her back and then her arms slowly and tenderly. She relaxed, wrapping her arms around his waist, savoring the moment. How could this be wrong? His lips brushed against her forehead, and he gave her a gentle kiss. She shifted her body slightly, just enough to look up. Only a few inches separated their faces, their noses almost touching. His eyes admired her features, eventually moving to her lips. With no opposition from her, he leaned in.

Her mind got hazy for a moment, enjoying the softness of his lips on hers, warm and gentle. She opened her eyes and gently pushed on his torso, creating some space between them. They gazed at each other, both smiling.

She broke the silence first. "I'm sorry. We have a rule about boys staying over that prevents me from asking you to stay the night..."

"Well, we could go to my dorm? Nothing frisky, I swear. It's just that... it would be such a shame to walk away right now," he suggested.

She laughed before agreeing. Before leaving together, she slipped into her room to grab some essentials for the next day.

Begin Again (Part 7)

On that same day, after their morning work and practice, the group rejoice at their usual lunch table.

There were conversations yet the discomfort was palpable. The girls on their way crossed Zaine, and (Y/N) happily invited him to eat with them.

Riven was on a near table with Sky, and his girlfriend Bloom, along with an earth fairy, that looked oddly familiar. But (Y/N) friends couldn’t seem to understand why she suddenly was there.

(Y/N) was completely oblivious of what was going on, she was chatting and making good conversation with Zaine, who grew increasingly touchy, rubbing her shoulder, playing with her hair, and moving strands away from her face.

She smiled even more. Mischievously. Bringing her drink to her lips, when Stella, one of Bloom’s best friend rushed over to her.

“I am sorry.. well not really. Better me than anyone to bring you this” she urged, handing her a small card, adorned with (Y/N) family’s seal.

She looked in Stella’s hands, noticing a similar card.

She quickly went serious, took her courage in both hand before opening the small card. Her face went pale.

“I guess we got the same news.. I believe our afternoon is scheduled” Stella said.

“Thank you Stella, I appreciate you bringing it..”

“Good lucks are in orders” she smile anxiously

“Absolutely.. go ahead, I’ll be a minute”

“Are you alright ?” Asked Zaine when she left

Hesitating, she turned towards the group, mustering a smile, and hummed in response.

“So, my family will be here soon.”

“Would you like us to be there?” Asked her water fairy friend

“No, I’ll managed..” she played with the card a bit before adding “actually.. I have a bad memory of our last get together.. but.. I don’t remember exactly why.. I mean I suppose it was about our usual differences..” taking a breath she got up “I need to catch up with Stella. I will see you tomorrow”

Zaine caught her hand and rubbing it gently he said “if you need to talk afterward, or during their visits because they are annoying, I am here for you”

She hesitated before thanking him and pulling her hand free.

Preparing wasn't overly difficult, but stress weighed heavily on them. She got dressed in Stella’s suit, after bringing everything she would need over.

Once downstairs and outside, they awaited the arrival of the cars. The manicured hedges, pristine path, and clear water didn't calm their racing hearts. A long red carpet was laid out, adding to the grandeur of the moment.

"It's just one day," Stella attempted to reassure.

"The card didn't provide any details."

"They may have planned activities, and perhaps your family is staying longer to spend time with you. That's rather nice of them," Stella mused.

(Y/N) side-glanced at her knowingly.

"I know, that's a stretch! I'm just hoping it won't—"

At that moment the first car pulled on the road, followed by another, and another.

“Stella who else is coming ?”

“No body! I mean I don’t know, I don’t have more information than you.. oh god”

This was worse than they would have anticipating.

(Y/N) stood a bit backwards as Stella’s family car approached. Her mother was alone, they greeted before Queen Luna approached her.

Now, (Y/N)'s family's car stopped. Her heart pounded harder, and her hands tensed. As the door opened, her brother emerged, and relief washed over her as they warmly hugged. Their father followed, extending his hand to her mother.

Her father's joviality was apparent as he embraced her before greeting Queen Luna. However, her mother's demeanor remained stern and stoic.

"Hello, Mother," (Y/N) initiated, striving to control her voice.

"Child," her mother responded dryly, then turned to Queen Luna, offering a welcoming smile and open arms.

(Y/N) couldn't tear her eyes away from the last car.

“Dad and I tried to prevent it.. but we failed” said her brother on a barely whisper voice.

A middle-aged couple emerged from the car, accompanied by a young man. She froze, eyeing Stella.

Quick greetings ensued, with the mothers leading the way, seemingly ignoring the rest of the party.

A room was cleared at the Garden globe, a room the girls did not even know existed. They had supper, and (Y/N) was glad to see her brother again. Stella and her even had a chat with the young gentleman. It was going smoothly, so smoothly that her mother stood up, for a toast. Expressing gratitude to everyone, her mother's final words left (Y/N) and Stella stunned. "This seems like the perfect time to share the news. Please, Aldrich, stand." Aldrich rose, beaming. "Starting today, I'm proud to call you a son and welcome you into our family."

(Y/N)'s gaze darted to Stella, who mirrored her confusion.

"Um, Mother, I'm a bit lost. Are (Y/Bro/N) and Aldrich to be wed ?" (Y/N) almost laughed, the absurdity a mix of stress and confusion.

"No, my dear. You are."

In that instant, the calm shattered, and turmoil took over the moment.

Begin Again (Part 8 )

"Hmm... Mother, I don't quite grasp this. (Y/Bro/N) and Aldrich are getting married?" She wanted to chuckle, but stress and confusion overwhelmed her laughter.

"No, child. You are."

Right then, the calm moment shattered. Stella confronted her mother, her brother argued with their mom, and her dad tried to intervene. Voices escalated, and chaos ensued.

But suddenly, she burst into hearty laughter, seeming a bit mad, yet it silenced the room.

After a sip of water and more laughter, she stood with a serious expression.

"No," she declared firmly, placing her cup back on the table. "I'm retiring to my suite. Aldrich, I apologize for your family's journey in vain. You're surely a fine man, but I'm not the girl for you. Mother, Father, these customs belong to a bygone era. Enjoy the rest of your night here, but be gone by morning. Queen Luna, it is always a pleasure meeting you." She turned towards the exit.

"Stop right there, (Y/N)!" Her mother raised her voice.

"Not this time," she replied as she left.

Her anger kept her warm in the chilly night. She discarded her ridiculous heels as she entered the building.

Inside, it was a stark contrast. People hurried about, the scent of blood and smoke filled the air. Injured individuals were being rushed to the infirmary.

She rushed back to get Stella.

Together, they reached the infirmary, searching for their friends.

(Y/N) spotted them in the crowd, helping out. Without hesitation, she joined in and they explained what had occurred. Burnt ones had breached the protection barriers and they found themselves surrounded.

She scanned the room, clearly looking for someone but without knowing who exactly, yet her instinct told her, that she needed to find a certain person.

“He’s alright” said her friend

Before she could question her, a voice came around “I am indeed”

“Zaine!” She eyed him head to toes “you alright”

“I am aware is not the time or the moment but, woah girl ! You look ravishing!”

“N/N” called a familiar voice from over the crowd

“What happened?”

“Burnt ones.. (Y/bro/N) you don’t have to be here. Mother…”

"Is not someone to be near right now. I'd rather lend a hand," he replied, eyeing Zaine suspiciously.

With everyone helping it took no time to mind the injured, and they soon got send to their chambers, once the medics declared the work manageable.

(Y/N) and her brother made their way back to her suite.

"So, you and Zaine...?" he began.

She smirked at him. "He's nice."

"Nice? Are we talking about the same person?"

"Wait, you know him? How?" She stopped in her tracks.

"Yes, we do. I mean, you probably don't remember; you were very young. His father was a good friend of the family. Father always suspected his mother of having suspicious motives, so he never fully trusted her," he explained.

"You need to be careful about him. His mom is a powerful witch, and not a sympathetic one. Also, I've never seen anyone so obsessed with someone the way he was about you. And back then, it wasn't in a healthy way."

“ What do you mean?" Panic crept into her voice.

"You two were still so young, and Mother found it cute how he'd follow you everywhere, be at your beck and call, always by your side, defending you in arguments, and things like that. But when no one was looking he did some shady and ugly tricks to get what he wanted.. never really thinking about consequences.."

"I don't remember any of that” she said, resuming her walk.

"What's going on between you two?" he pressed.

She flushed red "Nothing... but he's a good friend. He's always kind and funny. He's nice, a good fighter too. Not as good as my friend Riven, but not too bad," she beamed.

"Ah, now! I was wondering when you'd start mentioning him," he continued.

She just smiled. "Why?"

"Last we spoke, you couldn't stop raving about the guy!" He paused. "Did you two have an argument?"

"What? Why would we? And Riven and I are just friends."

"Just friends?" His expression showed confusion and shock. He was at a loss for words.

"What happened?" he asked kindly.

"Nothing happened," she answered, not displaying any specific emotions, leaving him even more puzzled.

They walked in silence for a while. As they approached the building, he stopped her.

"(Y/N), I hope you know you can talk to me."

"I do, and I love you for that " she replied and hugged him.

"Here. You might want this back," he said as he searched his inside pocket and retrieved a thin chain with an elegant oval-shaped medallion. It was the kind of jewelry you could wear every day without worrying about matching your outfit.

"I figured I'd give it back to you in private. I know how much it means to you."

Her uncertain expression unsettled him. She took the necklace as if it were her first time seeing it.

"Thank you," she said with a smile, as her hand instinctively clutched it tightly to her chest.

They bid each other good night at a path fork.

"Talk about the devil," her brother remarked, nodding towards the figure at the entrance. "That's definitely my cue to leave!"

And he hurried off in quick footsteps.

She approached him, smiling but a bit puzzled.

"I thought I'd check on you after today's events," he began.

She wasn't really sure where to go, but it's started to get suffocating in there. Why were everyone so worked up ? What could've had happen last night ? Is it so bad that she doesn't remember ?

She unconsciously walked up to where the specialists are training, she decided to sit there for a bit, watching them. She noticed Zane showing some paring move to a group, before letting them practice with each other. He took advantage of the situation to come to her.

"Aren't you cold ?"

"I wasn't when I left the suite" to that he started to remove his hoodie

"Isn't it all sweaty ?"

"Your hair is still a bit wet, I don't see the difference" he laughed

"Ew.. alright give it here"

She expected him to hand it over, instead he passed her stretched out arm through one of the sleeve, and she cooperated to pass the other one aswell

"Don't you have class ?"

"In an hour or so"

"Nice, so you can stay and watch practice"

"Watch ? Or kick your ass ?"

"Am I being challenged ?"

“You absolutely are” she said heading on the platform while adding “don’t hold back”

He just smirked at her nonchalantly.

She waited for him to give the first hit but as it never came, she decided to show him that she really meant it, and with no second thoughts threw a punch at him. That he lucky caught, passing her arm around and arm locked her. To what she answer by hitting him with her head, while he grabbed his bloody nose, she hit him in the stomach, crotch, and jaw, letting him fall to the ground.

“I did say don’t hold back”

“Clearly, that’s not your first time” he laughed in pain

“Because it’s not..” a stern voice answered

(Y/N) smile faltered when she met the eyes of the one who spoke.

“Didn’t you people figures that I needed a little break.. is it too much to ask..”

Her friends felt guilty, not just because they were acting behind her back and investigating, but also because for a split of a second she got that shine back in her eyes: the genuine happiness.

“I mean Zaine is pretty easy to fight against. No wonder you won” he spit out with much bitterness in his voice, joining them on the platform.

“You have some steam blow off. Take me on”

“I’d rather face Silva. Or Sky”

“But you’re not mad at them, are you” he rhetorically asked, coming inches away from her.

With no warning she tried to elbow him but was stopped instantly. She did not prevail and tried a combo to get at least one hit. She gave all she had but it felt like he knew all her moves in advance. Even when she tried to be sneaky and chance tactics, he read her to the bone. Until she saw an opening and got him nailed to the ground.. she smiled very proud until it hit her “you let me win?” “I always do..” he slowly breathed out, “what do you mean?” He had no time to answer when she exclaimed “well this feels like a déjà-vu..”. She got off him, a bit puzzled. “Déjà-vu or not, this was fun” she sympathetically smiled at him, handing out a hand to help him get up.

“I am (Y/N)”

His jaw dropped as he held her small cold hand and his, and stared in her eyes trying to figure out what was happening.

“That’s my name. (Y/N). What’s yours? You know what a name is right ?” She joked

“Riven..” he baffled

“Well thank you Riven for that little head to head, it was fun!”

Her friends were in chock and could say nothing. What was there to say ? The truth would seems to crazy, and they did not need her to anger up again.

“Oh you guys are here ! We should go tho we’re gonna be late. Zaine I’ll see you later, Riven, I’ll see you around?”

He did not so now what to say, luckily they did not wait for an answer.

He quickly spun around “whatever you did to her, we’re gonna undo it. And let me tell you, whatever she plans on doing with you when everything gets back to normal, I will not stop her.”

“I did nothing to her Riven. You’re the one that broke her heart. I am just the comforting shoulder. I mean you gave her up”

He tried his very best not to show his anger and rather walked away.

Zaine words resonated in his head “I did not, gave her up.. or did I ?” The long forgotten knot in his stomach made its come back.
