Falling

Ch 2

Of course I was in darkness again. I sighed to myself and started turning around, looking for the speck of light that I saw in the previous dream. Luckily for me, the entrance to wherever was still there, along with the figure.

They took a few steps towards me into the dark tunnel, and after a few moments of silence they began to slowly walk towards me.

"There you are, Kiera," He said in a husky voice.

I raised an eyebrow at him, looking him up and down as he circled around me and turned back to face me. The light illuminated his features and when his face was finally revealed I couldn't help but stare.

He was possibly the most attractive person I had ever seen. He was a good bit taller than me, considering my eyes were at his chest and I was already five-foot-six. His dark hair flowed back effortlessly, making me want to run my hands through it just to see if it was as soft as it looked. I tried to avoid his nearly all black eyes as they watched me, instead focusing on his high cheekbones and the bit of scruff along his chin that made my heart flutter. But upon closer inspection, I noticed that his skin had a slight red tinge to it, which only further pressed home that this was just a dream.

After tearing my eyes away from him, I laughed to myself as I started walking back and forth in front of him. "This is definitely the most ridiculous dream I've had in a while."

"What makes you think this is a dream?" He asked, walking towards me slowly.

I rolled my eyes. "Because there's absolutely no way this isn't a dream. It's just not possible."

"It's entirely possible," He shrugged.

"I'm not arguing with a fake guy in my own dream," I laughed, turning and taking a few steps away from him. "This is just too weird..."

"Kiera."

I paused and looked at him. The way he said my name was almost too real, as if we were actually standing together and having a real conversation. But I knew that it wasn't real, especially since he just looked too perfect.

Sighing, I turned to fully face him, crossing my arms across my chest as I decided to play along. "What do you want?"

He grinned, sending chills down my spine. "You."

I snorted as I tried to hold back my laughter. "Of course me. Why do you want me?"

"Because I've been searching for someone like you for a long time," He answered, taking a few steps towards me. "Someone to stand by my side and help rule my kingdom."

"Are you a prince or something?" I asked, unable to hold back my grin at the craziness my subconscious was feeding me.

"Yes," He grinned widely. "I am one of seven, and I am the last of my brothers to find a worthy bride."

Okay, I may dream about ridiculous things, but this was by far the most ridiculous. "So, you're telling me that you want me to marry you?"

"That's correct, yes," He nodded, still smiling. "Such a smart one. I knew I picked right."

I turned away and rolled my eyes again, shaking my head. It had been quite a long time since I had dreamt of anything having to do with princes and kingdoms. I'd certainly have a laugh about this in the morning. He was rather nice to look at though, I had to admit that to myself. At least now I knew exactly what my dream prince looked like.

"Alright," I said, turning back to face him. "I'll marry you."

His face lit up instantly with a grin. "Perfect! I shall come to collect you soon!"
