A Secret Guard: The Return (A Laurance X Reader Book 2)

(Y/N)'s POV

I woke up with still a horrible headache. My Irene, why me? I sat up and there was a glass of water on my bedside table. I picked it up and drank it. I immediately felt better. There seemed to be no sign of the others, so I went for a small walk. I came across a house. A woman with very familiar bright red hair came out of the door. She stopped when she saw me.

"K-Kiki?"

"(Y/N)!" She ran up and hugged me. I hugged back. A small girl with raven black hair and emerald green eyes came up to Kiki.

"Mom, who's this? Is this Auntie (Y/N)?" Aww! I'm Auntie (Y/N)!

"Yes Leona," Kiki said, her eyes watering. Leona gave me a big hug. She grew up so fast. Me and Kiki talked for awhile and then she had to take care of something, leaving me and Leona alone.

"Hey, Auntie (Y/N)?"

"Yes?"

"I need to warn you about something, well more specifically someone."

"What do you mean?"

"Fenrir, the werewolf prince I heard from your conversation with my mom that you were going to marry, is looking for you."

"Wait, what? Why?"

"He considered the fact that you were a Shadow Knight and thought you were working with Laurance and helped in the assassination of his father, the king. I wanted to give you these chili peppers to help mask your scent," she said, handing me a bag of peppers.

"Thank you Leona," I said, putting them into my backpack.

"Anything for my Aunt," she said giving me a cute little wink. We talked for a bit more about stuff and life, including a little about what happened with Laurance. Then, I left.

"(Y/N)! There's a boat heading to Phoenix Drop that we need to get on!" Lillia said, running up to me. I nodded and we went to the docks and got on the boat.

"Wait, guys, are we stowaways?"

"Yup!" Alexia said.

"Hey guys!"

"DMITRI!?" we all yelled.

"I'm coming with you guys!" he said triumphantly.

"Your mom is going to kill me," Avery said, face-palming.

Finally we made it back to Phoenix Drop. Once the boat docked, we gathered our stuff and got off the boat after the real passengers. We headed to an abandoned house near the outskirts of town, or as we called it, home sweet home. When we arrived, I noticed something was different. There was a figure, perfectly flat and smooth on the top, covered in cloth. I walked over and removed it, and I saw my one true love, Table~Senpai.

"I see you found my table," I heard Hazel's voice say.

"Heh! You wish! The table is obviously mine!" Lillia responded.

"You guys are hilarious! The table is mine and will always be mine!" I said back. Let's just say we got in a little 'friendly' argument on who was the tables' worthy lover. Hazel won. Dang it Hazel!

Hazel's POV

After winning Table~Senpai, I went to sleep. I woke up in some pretty field with a huge tree in the distance. I ran up to it, allowing my instincts to take me where ever they wanted. Once I reached it, I heard someone. I drew my sword. Then, from behind the tree came him. Garroth.

"G-Garroth?"

"Hazel!" He hugged me, and I hugged back, locking each other in a tight embrace. We broke and just looked at each other's eyes. Then, his face got closer to mine and kissed me gently. Now, I'm a walking tomato. Then, I did the unthinkable. I kissed back. We broke away eventually.

"G-Garroth..."

"Hazel, I missed you so much..."

"I missed you too..." I wonder if this was how awkward it was for Laurance having to see (Y/N) half naked. After that horrible moment of silence, we just talked. Talked about everything. All the awkwardness melted away as we laughed together.

"So, tell me Garroth," I said while sitting on one of the roots of the tree.

"What?"

"Who's the better kisser? Me or Aphmau?" I asked, smirking a tiny bit. He started to blush.

"Well, tell me. Do I need to step up my game?"

"N-no... You're honestly the better kisser," he said looking at me. I started to blush again. Then, I heard bells from what sounding like a bell tower.

"What the-?" He got up and held me in his arms. I started to feel myself fading away.

"Garroth?"

"Don't worry. I'll see you again. I promise." Then, there was total darkness and I woke up in my bed.

"HAZEL?!"

"WHERE THE FRIZZLE McNUGGETS WERE YOU?!" (Y/N) yelled at me.
