Chapter 199 : Priority List.

Nectar sighed as she collapsed unto the leather couch in the lounge. Though her sleep had been dreamless, that didn't make her any less anxious. She raised her hand high above her head, closing one eye as she laughed " Who would believe I've got a goddess trying to take over my body "?

She shook her head as she suddenly got up, " The important thing is getting her out ". She suddenly frowned, rubbing her chin " Where did I put my demons again "? She suddenly brightened up, looking down at the intricate carvings on the white marble floor.

She pouted, running her hand through hair, " That would explain why Axis puts up with me ". Giggling to herself, the coldness in her eyes hypnotic " I can't afford to let that happen.....well, not now at least ". She looked out the window, smiling at the falling snow " Pollen loved winter more than I did " [ I miss her ]

Kancor couldn't sleep. Instead, he sat cross legged in front of the fire most of the night. He rubbed the bridge of his nose as he tried not to feel bitter, " This is frustrating ". He sighed as he looked into the crackling fire [ She's right in front of me but I can't seem to reach out to her ]

He tilted his head to the side and sighed again, " How would she even react if she knew I was here "? [ Or she might realize it's me ] He shook the thought off and smiled, " That's not possible, she's too oblivious ".

He suddenly heard an excited shriek from outside and he frowned as he got up, " That sounds like Nectar ". When he got to the balcony, he found her putting her hands out to the snow and laughing.

It was like watching her enter a candy store [ She always seemed to love sweets ] The look of pure excitement on her face as she told Liam about the snow was enchanting. She didn't seem to notice him and skipped back in. It was hard to believe she could barely move a few hours ago.

He smiled as the cold wind hit him face first, " Maybe I should be happy I even get to see you again ". Scratching the back of his head, he walked back in, " At least she's back to her usual spunky self ".

Nectar was running out of things to do. She couldn't leave the suite so she didn't get in trouble but boredom was beginning to give her ideas. She rolled around on the floor and groaned in frustration as she sat up in the middle of the lounge.

" What to do? What to do "? She suddenly beamed as she created a snowball in her hand, " I can't believe I forgot about how many people die in this place " [ Maybe I shouldn't sound so joyful ] She suddenly bit her lip as she thought of what happened on the terrace* and nodded smugly to herself [ For keeping my secret, I'll make an extra effort to keep you safe ]

With all her rolling about, her hair had come loose and now she twirled it around her finger " How did he die again "? When she couldn't think of anything, she sighed in defeat " At least he still has the mana stone with him "

She suddenly brightened, making a snow sculpture of Luscious " He's my number one priority right now ". She placed it down and did another of Archie, " Ica seems to like him a lot. I can't let him die either ".

She nodded seriously, putting it down as well " You're my second priority ". She then made one of Athena, looking at it curiously, " You've been nice to me lately, plus I promised your father I'd keep you safe. Number three ".

She then made models of all the Sopins, putting Reli in the middle " Can't let Eros get that token. Plus Reli's my friend now. Number four ". She scratched her head furiously, " I'm forgetting someone ".

She suddenly snapped her fingers, remembering as she made a sculpture of Arthur " He's the father I always wanted. No shipwrecks allowed. Number five ". She drew imaginary circles in her hand as she looked at the sculptures " I can't believe so many people died just like that ".

She suddenly clenched her fists tightly [ And it's all Eros' fault ] " How am I gonna do it all "? She suddenly smiled to herself, " At least I'm not bored anymore ".
