The long lost princess

"Geraldine.. "

Geraldine's sole reaction to his touch was a light stiffness, indicating her uncomfort with his closeness, he called her name again more gentle than before, she heard guilt in his voice and she wished she didn't, it only made the pain in her heart go bigger

"Let's not talk, let's just sleep tonight " her shivering low voice made Eren swallow what ever he was going to say, not that he had any words to say, the atmosphere in the room was unbearable and he wished he can just leave...

minutes turned to an hour before Geraldine spoke again, they both knew that none of them was really asleep yet they acted so...

"Eren... " She never called his name that way, he noticed, no matter what situation they were in before, she always said his name as if she is saying a prayer, her voice was full of love and respect, but right now, it held nothing but a deep disappointment, he got closer to her trying to ease the brokenhearted girl he just hurt..

"Leave, please" came the unexpected words out of her mouth, Eren took few seconds before he released a deep sigh and got out of her bed and then her room, once she couldn't feel his presence anymore, her tears broke like rain, she cried so bitterly she nearly choked with her sobs, having no one but her pillow which turned wet with the amount of tears she shed...

Eren went straight to his room, opened the door angrily before slamming it shut, causing the sleeping beauty in his bed to snap awake in fear, he laid his back on the door with his eyes shut and his brows knitted, what kind of mess is he in? since when did he became an emotionally driven person? and since when did he even care about emotions? all the things he was feeling now were too strange and heavy for him, making breathing a heavy task, guilt, anger toward himself and the girl on his bed, uncontrollable urge and lust, distraction, sadness, and lost, he hardly recognized himself in that estate, what was happening to him..

By the time he was done, Eren's mind was much clearer, walking back to his bed, he noticed that the hybrid was hugging the pillow and sleeping on the cold ground, he sighed deeply before walking toward her, he placed his palm on her head, slipping into her subconsciousness he watched the girls nightmare, there was her mother,crying without any sound, and what was left of her father, hurt and weak, she felt helpless, claws from the shadows were trying to reach her, she was terrified, best moment to take action, Eren thought to himself...

Using his magic to twist her dream to his favor, he walked inside her dream, with his human form, his honey eyes that he inherited from his mother, and a deep bleeding cut on his belly, he appeared in front of her, she was afraid at first but as he expected, once she saw his human eyes she ran toward him directly, worried like she never was, holding his face in her warm palms, she called his name, Eren didn't waste any time afraid that he may lose his self control again said in an agonized voice..
