of my soul,
leaving me lifeless inside.
'My emotions! Its attacks drain my emotions!' The realization leaves
me in shock.
I back away from the ghosts and cast a 'Minor
Dire Flame'. As powerful of an attack the dire flame is, it still passes
directly through the ‘Ethereal Ghost’ without doing any damage and hits the
common room wall. I feel like crying inside; not a single one of my attacks can
harm these ghosts, and I am trapped here with them!
Not wanting to bring the whole inn down while I
am trapped inside, I extinguish the flame before it can spread.
Seeing victory to be impossible, I attempt to
escape instead. Fen is still propped against one of the walls, so I run at top
speed to her first. I don't have time to properly wrap her arms and legs around
me and carry her on my back, so I pick her up princess-style before dashing to
the staircase and up to the second floor. In the corridor, the ‘Ethereal
Ghosts’ don't follow but the ghost hands and howling wind return.
I frantically dodge the hands while running
back toward room 24. Just before reaching my room, one particular hand latches
onto my ankle and causes me to stumble. Due to Fen being carried in front
rather than on my back, I’m off-balance and tumble forward with the wolf girl
still in my arms. It is a tragic sight, me dropping her and practically falling
on top. It is nothing like on T.V. where the man ends up on top of the woman in
an intimate posture.
Freeing myself from the ghost hands, I pick Fen
up again and flee into our room. Inside, all seems peaceful at last but my
heart still pounds frantically and I keep nervously checking around for signs
of more ghosts. I place Fen on the bed and sincerely hope she isn't overly sore
in the morning from me dropping her and falling on top of her afterwards.
'But why won't she awaken? Is something
forcefully keeping her asleep? Is it a spell?'
I stare down at the white haired wolf girl with
genuine concern in my heart. I try to figure out why she cannot wake up,
thinking about the fairy tales of the princesses in comas, or other unfavorable
circumstances, awaiting a kiss from their prince charming.
"No, stop! What are you thinking
about!?" I say aloud and even slap myself to clear my head.
I try everything I possibly can to wake Fen up,
including splashing water on her face and violently shaking her, yet she remains
in this lifeless state. After trying everything, my mind returns to my earlier
thoughts. I stare at her rosy lips and gentle, sleeping face. Everything in my
body tells me not to do it, yet I am still drawn toward her.
I lean down and with only inches between us, my
breathing starts to become erratic. I did this once with Verde, but I did not
feel anything like this. I place my hands on Fen's shoulders, feeling the
perfectness of her pristine skin. I catch her scent, which is sweet like apples
and causes my cheeks to flush with color.
Forcing my eyes shut to try and make this
easier, I lower my head slowly. My hands tighten on her shoulders as my lips
press against a yielding softness. It starts as a tingle on my lips at first,
but then I press myself down, feeling the full shape of her own and mine
mingling together. Her lips gain a certain firmness to them, and I vaguely
sense them parting slightly as they come into contact with mine.
It feels like several minutes pass, but it is
only a short moment before I withdraw. A strand of saliva remains on my lip,
which I hurriedly rub off while my cheeks flush with embarrassment.
I take a minute to calm my nerves and steady my
breath while facing away from her before turning around again and looking at
Fen. She remains lying on the bed just the same as before, with no signs of
waking.
'Of course that didn't work, you idiot!'
Before I can worry about the situation anymore,
four silhouettes slowly rise from the floorboards. They are the four ‘Ethereal
Ghosts’ from before.
"What? Not even my room is safe from you
guys?!" I whine.
