"Mom I'm scared!...Thank God you guys are here..."
"Alec run to the car and don't look back! Mom's gonna follow you afterwards..."
"Honey can you drive? I'll distract them so you guys can escape..."
"Mom we can't leave dad!! We have to go back..."
A loud crashing sound was heard, pain and blood were everywhere.
"Mom! I thought you were I deity! Please don't die... don't leave me! I'm scared..."
"Silly... even goddesses die when their mortal bodies break...But they can only break this body my love... My Spirit will be with you always...and Forever..."
"Moooooom no no no please don't leave me!!!
Alec tossed and turned as she woke up screaming, beads of sweat combined with tears flowed down her face as she woke up from her nightmare. "Ugh! **sniff** the nightmares are back... I wish it were all just a dream... I wish you guys were still here..." Alec muttered to herself as she wiped her tears. She snapped out from being in a daze when she heard her phone ringing. She checked the time it was 3 am.
"Hey... what's up?" Alec said while trying to stablize her voice.
"...Are you okay?", Mason asked, his voice was filled with concern.
"Why am I not gonna be okay? And why did you call me so early in the morning?" Alec said trying to change the topic. "I just felt like calling...want to check up on you and stuff?... A-are you free later?". Mason said as he stumbled through the words trying to find the perfect excuse. "Mmm... who the hell calls at 3am just to check up on someone?! Seriously Mason, don't you know that 3 ams are for booty calls?" Alec said as she laughed at his lame excuse. "Nah, I have a date today", Alec added trying to annoy Mason. Although she said that to annoy him, she did not actually lie because she will be hanging out with Yuri today.
"..." Mason did not answer her, he just let out a grunt and hung up the phone.
"..." Alec was dumbfounded. "Did I actually go overboard with the teasing?... Why do I feel like I need to explain myself?", Alec said feeling guilty about what happened. After tossing and turning again, "Ughhhh... I can't sleep anymore...", Alec muttered to herself as she tried to go back to sleep. She was no longer able to sleep, when the sun has risen she decided to just shower and go to Yuri's place.
Alec met with Yuri at the latter's condo in F city. "You look pale today, are you okay? You're not sick are you?" Yuri said after opening the door and seeing Alec, then she touched Alec's forehead trying to feel her temperature. "Nope, not sick but I'm not actually feeling too well either..." Alec said as she hugs Yuri tightly. "You're having nightmares again?..." Yuri asked as she placed her arm on Alec's shoulders. "How'd you know?" Alec asked. "Duh. Cause you wouldn't hug me this tight and you wouldn't look so sleep deprived if you're not having nightmares again." Yuri said. "For all you know I could've stayed late watching movies or-or I could be doing something or someone the whole night", Alec said admitting and denying things at the same time. "That's a very stupid excuse, Alec Kim wouldn't be "DOING" anyone the whole night, hell, no other guy except for miguel, can touch you without you getting disgusted", Yuri laughed as she looked at Alec's pouting face. "Let's just cancel today's plans... You need to sleep" Yuri said as she lead her to the bedroom. "**Sigh** Are you sure you're not my mom? It feels like you know everything... What about the reservations you made for today?" Alec said while looking at Yuri with a concerned look. "Your health is much more important, I can have it rescheduled so don't worry. Just rest for now and when you're feeling better later, I'll prepare something for you." Yuri said as she prepared pajamas for Alec. "Yuri are you sure? I mean, we can still go -" Yuri cut Alec before the latter can continue her sentence. "Just go change and sleep, we can always change our plans, reservations are just reservations. We can actually watch movies and chill here." Yuri said smiling, afterwards she pressed the remote controlled blinds, dimming the entire bedroom.
Yuri's Bedroom has a Modern-Futuristic design where everything can be controlled by using a remote controller. Her bedroom has a spacious minimalist design having just a couch near the window, a study table, an abstract painting, and a side table. In her room lies her walk-in closet filled with bags, clothes, shoes, and other accessories. She also has a big full-view window that let's her see the beautiful sunset, sunrise, and the city lights at night. She lives at the top floor of one of F City's most luxurious condos, and being at the highest place inside the tower allows her to see the most beautiful views.
When alec was done changing, she came out of the bathroom and found yuri on the bed, dressed in pajamas as well reading a book."This feels nostalgic, we used to do this a lot back then..." Alec said as she walked towards the bed. "Don't you miss our sleepovers? Now come here and rest, I'll stay with you." Yuri said as she signaled Alec to lie down beside her. Yuri looked at the sleeping Alec, she cleared the hair that was on Alec's face, traced the beautiful profile of her face and said, "I wish there would be more peaceful days like these". Alec, still asleep, turned to her side and hugged Yuri's waist while muttering, "Mom...can I eat this big cotton candy?...". Yuri chuckled when she heard what Alec said. "You can eat all you want love..." Yuri said as she slowly pulled Alec's head closer to her chest.
Hours had passed, Yuri woke up when she heard her phone vibrating, she opened her eyes and moved slowly not wanting to wake the sleeping Alec beside her. "What do you need?" Yuri said in her bedroom voice. She looked at Alec still sleeping peacefully, then she got up and walked towards the window. "The old man is summoning you". The voice on the other line said. "When?" Yuri said not interested with whatever the man was saying. "Tomorrow at 7 pm be there". Yuri hung up the phone without answering the man. 'The insects are on the move, that's why the old man is being rattled. such a dysfunctional family' Yuri thought to herself as she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
