I slowly woke up alone feeling groggy, to realise that I was again in the prince's room.

I looked around for Tzara. But he was absolutely no where to be seen.

Maybe all of that was my wet dream?

But then my back hurt real bad.

So I slowly got up and walked out of the room. It was already early morning. So I decided to walk around in the garden for light workout. Maybe then find a gym like place to workout?

Suddenly someone held my hand.

It was a little boy. He didn't exactly look like an average Xanilian. Like Tzara he did have amber eyes with cat pupils, but he had extremely scaly yet smooth cold skin like a snake's.

"Are you...lost?" I asked uncertainly. I didn't really know how to handle children. So I usually get extremely nervous around them. But strangely I felt like nothing bad would happen by interacting with him.

He simply slipped out his snake-like tongue in reply.

"Ohhhh...right..you don't have the translator chip. Do you?"

He slipped me a rose in reply.

"Wow, you're a smooth little guy." I chuckled as I took the rose.

He smiled back sweetly.

But in return, I felt my hand sting painfully.

The rose had been thornless. But suddenly it had thorns that pricked me terribly.

I quickly threw it away and my whole hand turned greenish blue.

How could I have been so careless? It's always the possessed looking children in horror movies that cause the ultimate demise.

"Hey, I know you have the antidote for this..." I breathed in clutching it in pain. "If you're playing a prank, you win. So please..."

"I....hate....you....kill...you.." He replied pointing at me.

"Oh you shitty brat!" I tried to moved but my body wouldn't let me.

He hissed in return and ran away.

I laughed madly. I felt like I was starting to turn crazy. Maybe the venom had a hand in it.
