Having just woken up fron a nightmarish dream, I stretched. My heart was still beating loudly in my chest, but it was fine, I knew it was all a dream. I took a deep breath and held it in, placing my hand on my chest and gripping my sleepshirt. I then slowly breathed out, well untill Opera knocked.
I heard two loud knocks, signalling he'd be coming inside wich he then did. In his left hand he was carrying a glass of milk.
"Goodmorning. How long have you been awake for?" He asked me, looking at me sitting up in the bed. "Goodmorning! And not that long, I just woke up." I responded. "I had a nightmare."
Opera nodded understandingly. "Would you like to talk about it?" I shook my head. "Don't worry, im fine Opera." I said, flashing a small smile. He then nodded again, handing me the glass of milk. "Its sunday now, and you know what that means." Opera then said. I looked at him, confused.
"You mean more food?" I asked, unsure. He shook his head. "You seem to have forgotten with everything going on. Sunday is the day we walk in the park together." He then said, his face as neutral as possible. "So go get ready for breakfast and a walk around the block, metaphorically speaking."
Oh yeah, this is a castle, I forgot we don't have neighbors. "Sure!" I said jumping out of bed. "Your clothes are in the bathroom." Opera then said, walking back towards the door. "Now excuse me, I will leave." He waved, I waved back. "Cya, Opera!"
Once he closed the door behind him I walked to the bathroom and took a shower, I then brushed my teeth, combed my hair and got dressed. Opera taught me that selfcare is of huge importance. Both mentally and physically. Hes a good teacher.
He taught me so much when I first got here, how to eat properly with a fork and a knife, how school here works, how to make your homework and plan, how to play dodgeball or well, the demon version of it and so much more!
He's kind of like my mother now, one that I do love, and I appreciate him being here for me every day, even if hes a bit strict at times.. but I know thats for the best.
I smiled to myself while looking in the mirror. Even if things are hard now, eventually they will be fine, right?
I looked away from my reflection, seeing someone I didn't think id see again so soon. I half screamed while looking at him, Alikred!
"Hey Iru-boy! Im back!" He said overdramatically, I sheepishly waved back. "Oh, hey Ali!" I said before trying to learn him a lesson. "And whats up with the jumpscare every single time? You could just call my name before actually doing anything!!" I screamed, not getting that someones attention in the kitchen was now directed at me.
"But Iru-boy, I enjoy scaring you once in a while. After being asleep for so long like a beauty I finally woke up, only to be met with boredom.. So I spiced it up!" Alikred said, as if he was on the theatre preforming for an audience.
"You already woke up a week ago, there's no need to be so dramatic!" I said, huffing. Then someone opened the door loudly, it was Opera, looking agitated and worked up.
"Are you okay!?" Is the first thing he asked as he came running towards me, throwing the door open with lightning speed. It then slammed harshly against the wall, I looked at alikred who was already back into the ring and then at Opera, who looked at me, shocked.
I nodded, trembling on my feet. "Y-yeah, I'm fine Opera." I said, shaking from the agitated person in front of me. He then slowly opened the door wider, looking for someone. "Who were you talking to?" He then asked.
"To no one." I then told him, wich was a lie. "Iruma, I know you're lying, I could hear you screaming who were you talking to?" He asked, not very happy with me.
