Chapter 8
I fell on the bed as Damien refused to let go of my wrist,even though his eyes were still shut.
Gripped with fear of him seeing me so close to him,i tried to release wrist gently from his grip but he kept holding firm.After a while of unsuccessful trials, I sucumbed and then stretched my left leg backwards towards the direction of the dressing stool trying to move it towards me.After minutes of stretching and straining I moved it close to the bed and sat on it.
I watched him sleep peacefully,and I kept wondering what could have made him look so scared and it made me curious about the dream. However for some reason he seemed relaxed after holding me.He was no longer sweating.
I covered my mouth with my other hand as I yawned repeatedly;my body was calling for rest. Minutes later,I decided to rest my head on the bed for a while and then zzzzzz.
Damien's POV
I woke up with my head banging;'oh what a terrible migraine' I said placing my hand over my forehead.I decided to get my drugs from the table. I opened my eyes only to find the witch sleeping beside me on MY BED.
"How did she get her?"I said.
I thought about pushing her from the bed to the floor,I was about placing my hands on her to do so when she turned around facing me.
I stopped for a moment looking at her sleeping peacefully like a baby,her long and full eyelashes would make any heart flutter.I continued to stare at her face throughly scanning her facial features."She is beautiful"I said absent mindedly.
She suddenly smiled with her eyes closed still."She must be having lovely dreams" I thought.
I remembered the dream I had,for the first time in a long time I slept peacefully afterwards and didn't wake up from my dream sweating profusely.
"Was it because she slept near me?"That can't be,it's not like she possess some special powers to calm nightmares I said to myself calmly.
"Hey!get up" I said shaking her roughly in order to wake her up.
"Hmmm,give me just 5 mins I promise to get up"she said turning to the other side with her eyes shut still.
Seeing her behave like a baby made me chuckle but then stopped immediately when she flung her eyelids open.She saw me and sprang out of the bed,she looked terrified
"I'm sorry,you seem to be having a nightmare last night and I slept resting my head on the bed,I didn't know when I got on it" She said preventing me from questioning her first.
"I don't want to see you on my bed anymore "I said putting on a serious look and in a stern tone.
"And it's none of your business whether I have a nightmare or not do you understand?"I asked her incrimidatingly.
"Yes I do" she replied looking downwards.
About an hour later Diane came looking for Seraphine and asked her to accompany her to the family stall after which they both left.
I laid on the bed after deciding to take a day off work.I had already taken the drugs I usually take to help me sleep better,I closed my eyes hoping that this time I'd wake up feeling better.
Seraphine's POV
Finally I'd be leaving the walls of this house for the first time,ever since the selection I have been indoors,from going to my room to the garden,to Diane's room or mother's and then the music room and art gallery. It was like an endless cycle.
I was happy when Diane asked me to accompany her to the stall.
The thought of me going to enchanted again is amazing. I remembered the first time I went there was when I followed mum to get the dress I'd wear for the selection. We saw various dresses which all looked attractive and expensive enough to pay Dad's salary.
"Seraphine,you look excited have you ever been to enchanted?" Daine asked as we got into the car,she then told the driver to proceed.
"Is it that obvious?" I said sounding as if I was disappointed that she knows.
She laughed and said "Who wouldn't notice that when you were smiling here and there".
"I have actually been there once"I replied laughing as well.
"Okay then I can't wait to show you around again " She said looking all excited as well.
I thought of telling her about Damien's dream.
"He said it's none of my business so why should I bother" I said in my mind trying to kill the curiosity eating me within.
I didn't know when I blurted out "Diane,I think something is going on with Damien"
Diane faced me and said "Damien? What are you talking about?" I could see fear all written on her face. "Why can't I ever keep quiet" i mumbled softly.
I explained everything that happened and emphasized on how scared he looked while he dreamt.
She sighed and finally said "Oh that? I never knew he still has those dreams"
"Those dreams?" I questioned not taking my eyes off her face and why doesn't she look scared anymore.
"I mean he has been having those dreams since he was 10" She paused and then continued "Something happened to him when he was 10 but I'm not sure you'd want to hear it"
I told her I was willing to listen to the whole story. She promised to tell me later signaling me to look towards the driver and I understood what she meant.
She wouldn't tell me in the presence of the driver. She wouldn't want rumors spreading about her brother.
I have so many unanswered questions about Damien, why does he hate me so much? Well I hate him as well but he started the cycle first by bullying me in community high. However I can't ask Diane about that because she doesn't know that our hatred for each other goes that long.
Even though I was impatient,I kept calm trying to put my curiousity under check as we drove silently to the stall.
