Dale had been surprised when Laila showed up at Kiel's house with a worried look on her face. His brows narrowed when he saw the look in her eyes. He could tell something was wrong.

"What did you do?" He asked in a grave tone making Laila shudder, and her lips tremble. She hastily shook her head indicating she had done nothing wrong, but the look on the faces of all three men told her no one believed her.

"I didn't do anything." She declared, but Dale was already on his feet stalking towards her. She took retreating steps away from the man. She still hasn't forgotten her encounter with him few days ago. She'd live to remember it everyday of her life. The man was dangerous and out of control, especially when it came to his wife.

"Laila?" Elyon teasingly called, and she heard the taunting amusement in his voice. She turned and glared at him before returning her gaze to Dale, who looked grim.

"I showed her my wings and told her about the—" She hesitated, her eyes quickly darting away from Dale's gaze, too afraid to behold his murderous intent in them.

"I told her about the spell and what it was supposed to do. And...." She paused again. She bit her lips and peeked at him from under her lashes before she continued. "S-she started crying, but I don't know why." Laila felt her blood run cold when Dale's appearance suddenly looked grimmer.

"I swear Engel, that was all. I didn't do anything to her." She hurriedly added. She trembled under his intimidating and menacing frame. She heaved a sigh of relief when he turned away from her.

"Engel, what about the Hydregor?" Elyon asked when he saw he was about to leave. He turned to Kiel, who looked as if he was too bored to ask or make any contributions, and sighed.

"An Hydregor?" Laila's eyes widened when she heard him. She caught a glimpse of the paper in Dale's hand, and her eyes widened even more.

"She has a fear feeding demon in her dream?" Laila asked, sheer horror looming in her eyes. Engel turned to look at her.

"Do you know how to kill it?" He coldly asked.

"Kill it?" Laila was amused by his response. He should know better. An Hydregor wasn't like every demon he could kill. But this was Engel. His only desire and concern was his wife, and to kill whatever causes her any harm.

"You can't kill it, only her can send it away." She said making Engel to narrow his eyes at her.

She sighed and continued when it seems he was silently ordering her to continue. "The demon only feeds on fears, and she must have a lot of it to have attracted such a demon in her sleep."

"What are you suggesting?" Elyon was getting bored and irritated. He wanted out of there. Engel had summoned him without asking if he had any prior engagement.

"She must let go of her fears."

"That's impossible." Kiel suddenly said, making everyone look at him. This was the first word he had said since they started the conversation. Even now, he had his eyes fixed on whatever he found enticing, outside his window.

He turned to look at them. His apathetic face still as inscrutable as ever. "She died with the fear of losing him." He gazed at Dale before looking outside again. "She has fear etched in her soul. She always be afraid. And as a human, she has even more fears." He said making them all quiet. But he spoke up again. "Aren't you all over forgetting the main problem here?" He looked back at them, most especially at Engel who had a impatient look in his eyes.

"Her nightmares. Weren't they supposed to be memories? What changed?" He thoughtfully asked.

Everyone turned their gaze to Engel who was completely silent, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. They waited for him to say something, but the man turned around and vanished out of sight.

Dale felt a pang in his chest the moment he appeared in the room and he saw in her all curved up in a ball and in tears. She looked sorrowful from where he stood.

"Elleanor." He softly called, but he felt another pang on his chest when she muttered in a tearful voice, "Go away, I'm not thinking of him."

Was she trying to fight her thoughts for him? Why?

He had tried approaching her, but she asked him to stop. His brows furrowed at that. What was wrong? Why was she always trying to push him away?

His body stilled when she staggeringly stood up from the bed and raised her hand to stop him, again. He felt like a knife had been thrust through him. He was hurt.

But he was more hurt seeing her scared and in tears. That broke him. He didn't want to see her like this. This was the third time she was crying this badly and he was yet to know why.

And this time she seemed to be in so much pain.

He wanted to hug and calm her down. Beg her to stop crying, as it would make her sick. His muscles twitched to be wrapped around her.

He took a step closer but she took a step backwards.

"Do you know?" He heard her say, but underneath her words he could see the anger that lingered there, as it also burned in her eyes, as well as the accusing look that were pointed at him. He was lost on what she was asking about, and he could tell she was struggling to ask him something. Something important. But right now, he didn't care about whatever it was. He only wanted to calm her down.

"Stop." He ordered. He saw the shock in her eyes when she couldn't move. She was making him do what he wasn't supposed to.

"What did yo-"

"Shh-" He stopped her. His heart gave him a tight squeeze when he saw the look on her face. Her shining and mesmerizing eyes seemed to be reflecting so much anger and hurt.

He cupped her cheeks and wiped her tears away. She struggled to move but he refused to let her go.

"Please stop crying, my love." He pleaded, as he wiped her tears away. But more kept rolling down her cheeks. "Elleanor, are you scared of me?" He didn't want to ask, but he feared he should. He couldn't think of anything else, why she would always be in tears.

They both gazed at each other without saying a word as they tried to ascertain each other thoughts.

"I feel you're scared of being with me, hence why you always push me away. Is that it?" He asked.

"E-ngel." She whispered her name. He watched as her lips moved but nothing came out.

"Tell me Elleanor, what do you want? Why are you so scared?" He asked again as he nudged her a bit closer. The drumming sound of her heart filled the entire room.

"That I can't read your mind, makes me feel useless." He said as he removed tear stuck hair away from her face, and kissed her salty cheek.

He raised her chin up, so she could look deeply into his eyes. "What makes you so scared?"

"You.." She replied.
