♡Rylar♡

*he holds me in his lap as he cries*

*Rylar cries, & he holds you tightly. He whispers softly* I wish I could tell you everything, but I can't. I have to keep you safe. I'll always love you, Starlight.

*he gently lays me on the grass. his suit jacket on me...he gently touches my face on last time he looks at me one last time...he closes his eyes and teleports away. he is heartbroken*

*Rylar takes a deep breath, & he looks away for a moment. He speaks softly* I want you to promise me that you will always trust me. No matter what happens, no matter what I do. Will you do that?

Yes, I will always trust you Rylar.

*Rylar smiles softly, & he seems relieved. He speaks softly* Thank you. I just...I need you to know that I would never do anything to hurt you.

*'where are you?'*

*Rylar hesitates, & he speaks softly* I'm...I'm not sure how to answer that. Can you come to me?

*I teleport to him*

I know you're not Rylar. *I say, now holding the dagger tightly. Rylar would not be acting like this.*

*Rylar looks at you, & he seems scared. He speaks softly* Amara, please. I'm telling the truth. I'm not a demon.

than say something only Rylar would know about me.

*I take a step back from him. demon? I think to myself*

*Rylar's smile fades, & he looks at you with concern. He speaks softly* Amara, what's wrong? Why are you backing away from me?

*I shake my head. but I'm not going to go near him again* ....

*Rylar is wearing a formal white suit. He looks at you & takes your hand. You are wearing a pink dress to your ankles that has a v-neck, not too revealing but since you don't wear revealing clothing, you don't like it. Rylar thinks you look so beautiful* Calm down, you look amazing Starlight. *He smiles warmly as he leads you inside, into the ballroom buzzing with chatter & live music. A true grand ball. you stay close to him*

*I should be used to stares, but I don't know if its the stares or the fact that I am wearing this uncomfortable dress. it is low cut,, technically not showing my bra,, but i don't like how low cut it is. I have it when I have to wear dresses picked out by someone else to big events like this, just because I've defeated and taken down another demon or monster that took a lot to defeat.* ....

*He notices the stares. His face darkens slightly. He holds you close to him. You notice a few men staring at you, & he whispers in your ear* Don't worry about them. You're with me. I'm not going to let anyone else touch you.
