I stare into the dark window and go deep into my thoughts. My mind shifted into a different room and before me stood 3 figures. 2 people both female but one is bad and the other good and in the middle stood my goddess. The evil was my messy self hair let loose and my extremely curly hair, I always straitened and her clothes were loose and black. Black makeup surrounded my eyes and black on my lips. The good conscious wore white and had straight hair, she wore light makeup. Then Gemini my goddess she wore a white blouse and a long black skirt that complimented her body well. She had her hair half up and down. She had no makeup and she let some hair wave curl and the ponytail was braided.
The Good conscious spoke~ "Should we tell her?"
Bad conscious~ "No she'll hate us."
Gemini~ "We'll tell her in do time for now we wait we must keep ourselves under control".
Bad conscious~ "Under control what's in are control?"
Good conscious~ "Bad listen to Gemini she knows best."
Bad conscious~ "How can you be so sure? Huh? We've lost so much, how can you talk as if this world is still good look at everything. We're monsters and we have no way of controlling ourselves. You remember the old days when we were young, still free yet we were in so much pain. How can you tell me to listen when there is all this pain."
Gemini~ "ENOUGH! Genevie the conscious of the bad. You know why they gave you that name? It is because you are the worthy guardian for it do not make me take you away from it. You are strong. Stop being so frightened. You have done enough to Gemini's conscious you are dismissed. As well as you Gwenevere good conscious are dismissed let me speak to Gemini alone.
They both turned and Genevie left by turning into sand while Gwenevere twirled and became smoke.
Gemini~ "Young one, you know your not turning out to be as young your catching up to your time to change quickly. Soon you'll be able to take on your task on becoming a goddess but Koran is near my child. You must protect everyone. Even if it means sacrificing the innocent."
Me~ "Thank you Gemini, but I just have to ask...."
The ground shook and the floor opened underneath my feet. I grabbed the ledge of the floor trying to hold myself up. Gemini came running over by me as she grabbed my wrist.
"Come on fight the darkness Gemini you mustn't fall in fight it."
I Listened to her voice as I tried to but another voice was grabbing at me. Koran.
"Come down here child, you know I miss you."
That's when the hands grabbed my ankles.
"Fight Gemini, FIGHT THESE NIGHTMARES!"
I did I was trying why couldn't they leave me alone the wouldn't stop grabbing.
"STOP IT KORAN!"
"You finally have the guts to talk to me. Well I'm honored why don't we just have a little chat it'll be fun."
He pulled me and both Gemini couldn't hold on so I let go and I slipped out her hands and the darkness overtook me. I glowed brightly but I didn't know how long the abyss would last. Finally I landed in the streamers that were attached side to side. They were soft and gentle hard to imagine they'd be here. They all wrapped around me gently and carried me gently. I had a feeling it was wrong though. My clothes changed to a long white dress It had a corseted top that was bedazzled and a lace skirt that had many layers and a slit on the left side.
"It's been a long time, hasn't it" Koran said gently
"It has been a long time, but why now?"
"Now, why because its almost time my dear isn't it? For that beautiful goddess to join with you to make you unstoppable. You know the consequences you'll have to tell your sister some time."
I was placed on the ground facing Koran's back.
"I can't not yet she needs to be older and than I'll be okay telling her, but right now she's not ready she still young and innocent."
"Yet, you speak to me as though...I may tell her your secret."
"That's because I know Koran, I know your plan with the government but I'll stop you because you already know how strong I am."
"DON'T TAKE ME FOR A PEASANT I AM STRONGER THAN YOU!"
Koran turned fast with red eyes. Full of anger. Hate.
"You know what I see the man I beat half to death. Trembling in fear. As you stared into my eyes and begged for mercy. Your not a weakling but I feed off your fear that you feel as you look into my eyes. They way you crouched like the little cockroach you are."
Koran held his breath as he looked at me. He crouched down as I walked closer to him.
"Oh don't already give in I want to see a good fight show me how your not a peasant."
I took a step back, No I can't give in to the darkness. Your better then he is.
A loud boom of laughter resonated all over the room. "Oh, Ha it seems that beautiful light inside you fades, as you weaken. As I grow stronger."
"No, I am Gemini! The goddess of light protector of others and happiness. I shall not fall to you."
He stood and I fell my body weakened as the darkness my aura was the only light but even that was fading.
"Oh, whos weak now. My little butterfly."
He crouched down and wrapped his hand around my throat the whole time never once did I see his face but I saw his hand. It hand bumps and long nails and it was grayish-white. It was horrid. As my body was to weak to move it. Koran lifted me by my throat as I gasped for air, my eyes going in and out of black and purple. I gripped his wrist. Why am I weak. MOVE!
"You will give me your goddess."
"NEVER!"
I kicked Koran and threw my hand down to unsheathe my blade of light. I sliced his stomach. He screamed and gripped his stomach and went back. I gasped for air.
"No more!"
I twisted my body and disappeared from the darkness, once I opened my eyes and I was back in the room as Gemini my goddess held me.
"You did well you are almost ready."
I sobbed and cried in her arms. My throat burned from Korans claws holding my throat.
...
I snapped back to reality with tears streaming down my cheek. Nina stares at me with fear.
"What happened"? I question Nina.
"You had another black out I was shaking you and I yelled at you, but you didn't answer."
"I'm sorry, I'm trying to get better."
"I know"
I pulled her close and kissed Nina on her forehead.
"Try to go back to sleep okay, and here, wear this."
I take off one of my necklaces that has a string and at the bottom mended was a dream catcher which held a tiny dragon loom on it. I remember it clearly when I got it.
"It was my 14th birthday gift that mom and dad gave me."
"They say it protects you from your nightmares. Since I had so many ever since I was young they wanted me to have what grandma Mahin wore and she said words of dreams, to take away nightmares."
I lay her down say goodnight and walk out her room and cross into mine.
I sit on my bed and look at the picture of me and Nina. I held her in my arms we were both smiling. She's so strong to have to deal with all this pain. She is still so young. I close my eyes. To enter my powers.
...
Air whips around me to make dust fly around me. The dust does a dance like transformation and the dust changes to look like the galaxy and I send it to my sisters head. It'll let her dream of other things but I can't show her my powers so I can only do small things until I get my goddess there is nothing more I can do.
Nina never should have had to deal with those dreams. She's innocent. She shouldn't have to see those nightmares, scream, cry, and shake with fear every night.
I should. I should have to deal with the punishment, I was the one who always caused trouble caused the whole issue. I do have the same issue, I don't want to sleep. I'm worried about Nina and I'm worried about my own dreams. I fear one day I'll destroy our home, my powers will go crazy as they did the first night of this living nightmare.
I lay back on my bed and close my eyes. I reached sleep and the dream started again.
...
The boys face was handsome, He had a strong jaw high cheek bones and when he smiled his eyes and lips curved up, showing creases making him look mature but still young. His eyes were a beautiful Hazel that changed from Gray to green to amber, his eyes we're gorgeous. They were just like mine that's another reason I loved them they were different and I loved it. His face complimented everything for it looked strong and manly. He had a perfect body as you could tell from the outside because of his height and broad shoulders you could tell he had abs and a muscular. His hair was dark brown with one streak of light brown. He called my name lightly almost hard to make out but I could hear it.
I look down below at the pond next to me, I study myself my eyes were Hazel as well the outside was purple then there was a row of gold the bended into the core which was silver than my pupil. I wore a long nude champagne dress with dramatic puff sleeves with a boat neck with a tiny layering at the bottom of the dress. My hair was brown with some natural blond, red and black highlights. I was unique from my family, both my parents had black hair and both had brown eyes. Nina had the same as them. I was different, and sometimes it wasn't a good thing. The boy called my name again and I walked to him barefoot, the grass below me began to grow healthier as vines twirled around my leg gently and flowers bloomed with every step.
The boy wore a black loose shirt and black pants, he had no shoes. As I finally reach him, he leans in toward me and he gripped around my waist and pulled me into an embrace. We fell into a kiss full of passion and love. I loved him yet I didn't know him. Our kiss was overtaken by everything turning dark, the boy disappeared and I searched for him trying to think trying to remember. What was his name? I know it. Come on. In a quick second for the first time I knew his name.
"GRIFFIN"!!
It all stopped, the nightmare stopped. Griffin came back and everything was light and gentle back in the landscape we were in at the beginning and Griffin smiled.
"You said my name." He lit up as he said these words and it made me smile.
"I don't know how but I just felt it here, in my heart. I just knew your name, almost as though I've known you for a lifetime."
His gentle hand touched my face as he said "Gemini I love you."
"I love you too." We leaned our head against each other and closed our eyes.
...
I woke gasping as a heavy object landed on my stomach, I looked forward to see Griffin was in front of me on my stomach.
"What the hell?" Griffin said giving me a confused look.
"WHAT THE HELL!?"I shouted as I pulled up my sheets to cover myself.
I'm in PJs and not very covering ones. It's hot outside, and its okay to wear less clothing. Don't judge.
"WHAT THE HELL IS RIGHT WHAT ARE DOING IN MY HOUSE?! GET OFF ME!"
He jumped off me and Griffin looked around my big room trying to find the exit.
I looked at Griffin again asking a question I already knew the answer to.
"Is you name Griffin?"
"Yes how did you....wait I know you" He points at me and squints his eyes as if trying to remember
"I know you too. Is that a bad thing or a good thing?"
"Well I think its a good thing. I've seen you in my dreams and at your work. I have drawings of you, your absolutely beautiful....sorry I didn't think before I spoke" he said.
"No it's fine, I get it a lot just not the drawing part"
"But how did you get in my room?"
"Um I'm gonna be completely honest with you, I have no idea."
