Rise of the Malactric Heir

Adora looked out the upper deck window after they left and smiled as she saw Lily raise up and roar.

"That dragon really likes you," Alix said as she smirked at him.

"Are you jealous?" she inquired, to which he scoffed.

"No way, why should I be jealous?" Is there a reason for me to be?" Alix asked and she smiled.

"That's mean, a little jealousy would be nice..." she responded as she stared at him and he smiled.

"You stare a lot these days, what's with that?" he asked as he got closer to her and she grabbed onto his shirt then lowered her head and he smiled.

"It's fine, if you don't want to answer, I won't ask, you know you can do as you please," he said and she smiled.

"If only I could really do that," she replied.

"Why can't you?" he asked and she looked at him with her heartbeat increasing then she gnashed her teeth and moved away a bit from him.

"There are numerous reasons," she responded.

"Well, if you want to talk about it, I will listen, that much I can do for you, Adora," he said and she smiled.

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ "That's good to hear, thank you, Alix," she replied.

"You don't have to thank me, I keep saying this, but you don't listen so you are welcome," he said and she scoffed.

"I'm hungry," Adora replied as she walked away, and he looked at her.

"What's going on?" Sarah asked as she approached Alix and he looked at her.

"Nothing much, we were just talking, and she was hungry, so she went to get something," he replied, and Sarah smiled.

"Do you think she's scared, Alix?" Sarah inquired.

"Maybe, maybe not, you never know with Adora," he replied, and she sighed.

"You're right, I find her difficult to read, but I know her life hasn't been easy despite being the princess and all," Sarah said.

"Yeah, I know," Alix replied with a slight smile.

"You okay?" Sarah asked and he glanced at her as Ayden approached them.

"Yeah I am fine, just thinking about a few things I haven't given much thought before," he responded and Sarah patted him on the shoulder.

"I think we've all been there, thinking about certain things that have crossed our minds before, but we didn't give it much thought and just let it slide, and then there will come a time when you have to actually sit and think it over," Ayden said, and Alix smiled.

"Exactly, you've been through that with your family, huh?" Alix asked, and Ayden sighed.

"Yeah, they're a pain, a bunch of assassins living together is never a good idea, we don't get along well, my mother is a little different, she wants me to have a normal life, something I couldn't get in that environment, but I found my calling thanks to the princess, who really wants me to go visit my mother when we get back," Ayden said.

"That's difficult; are you going to see her or are you still considering it?" Alix asked, and Ayden sighed.

"I'm thinking about it, but I'm starting to think I should go see her, so maybe I will," he responded.

"I believe you should," Alix suggested.

"I think so as well," Sarah added, and Ayden sighed. Adora approached them while eating cookies, and they looked at her.

"Here," she said, handing them a box of chocolate chip cookies, which they collected and shared it with the others.

Adora clutched her head while eating the cookies, and Alix looked at her.

"You should get some rest, sleep will do you more good," he said, and she sighed before continuing to eat. He snatched the cookie from her hand and was about to eat it when she tiptoed and bit a piece of the cookie he had placed by his lips, then she moved away from him and ate it while he ate the rest and scoffed.

"You're really stubborn," Alix said and she smirked.

"You are not that different Alix, want more cookie?" she asked and he collected a few more then they sat down with the others to eat them.

Later that day, after night fell and everyone had dinner, Adora went to her room to freshen up and when she finished, she threw herself against her bed and stretched off while yawning.

'Damn it, to think I'd want to sleep like this, I guess I can catch a few more hours,' Adora thought as she got out of the bed and was about to close her room door when she felt her eyes hurting and covered them with her hand before exhaling deeply and moving her hands away.

'Damn, why is this happening right now?' Adora pondered, then shut the door and returned to her bed. At the very same time her eyes started glowing red and purple as the star markings appeared in them.

"What in the world is going on with this when it's not even time for it?" Adora inquired as she stood up and examined herself in the mirror.

Her eyes trembled as she saw the reflection of the dark monster that had killed her mother behind her. The girl did nothing to do but stare at the moment.

"You are not really here, are you?" She asked, then touched the mirror and turned around to see nothing. Adora sighed and her eyes returned to normal before returning to bed and covering herself with the blanket.

The girl had a lot of trouble sleeping that night, and she was getting angrier because she was tired and all she could think about was getting some rest.

Because nothing she tried worked, Adora left her room and went to Kyris's, where she knocked and he opened the door since he was not asleep.

"Adora, what's the matter?" he asked then she wiped her eyes.

"Your eyes don't appear to be in good health, Adora," he observed.

"I know," she replied as she lowered her head, and he smiled.

"Come on," He said as he walked away and she followed him back to her room, then he sighed and placed her to sit on her bed.
