Alison looked at herself in the mirror and touched her touches. She couldn't stop giggling as she thought about Walden.
''Hey! You've gone crazy, Alison. What is wrong with you?'' Alison shook her head.
''Walden is your friend. You can't be having such wild thoughts towards him.'' Alison stood up and went to lie on the bed. She covered herself with the quilt and closed her eyes, drifting to sleep.
That night, she had a dream. A very strange dream about a woman. Alison saw herself walking in the middle of nowhere. It was a deep forest. An unfamiliar forest and she was walking barefooted.
''Where am I?'' Alison mumbled as she continued to walk. She didn't know where she was going but she just kept walking. Until she reached a house. More of a mansion with a heavy gate. There was a woman standing outside the house. She was in a pale cream gown and her hair was neatly tied with a bow fastened around it.
''You are here?''
Alison suddenly heard the woman say. Assuming she was the one spoken too, Alison opened her mouth to speak and heard a voice behind her.
''Yes, where is Lord Walden?'' A beautiful woman with delicate features asked.
When Alison saw her, she gasped. The woman was insanely beautiful. Her voice was soft and meek and the way she walked was unhurried and felt with confidence. Her light green dress had flowery embroidery at the hems making it exquisite and beautiful.
''I will accompany you to his quarters, Lady Kaadie!'' The woman in the cream outfit said.
''Yes!'' Lady Kaadie replied and the giant gates opened. She walked to the gate and turned to look at Alison.
''What are you doing? Are you not entering? Once the gates closes you will not be able to find this place.'' Lady Kaadie asked, and Alison looked at her with a confused gaze.
"I… are you talking to me?'' Alison asked the lady.
''Come with me, let's go.'' Kaadie walked to Alison and held her hand. Her lips curved into a smile as she walked towards the gate with Alison.
''Do you see me?'' Alison asked when they entered the gate.
''Mm! You came from the future, right? You are the future me, right?'' Lady Kaadie looked at Alison with an affectionate gaze and mumbled. ''You are beautiful!''
''Is this not a dream?'' Alison asked.
''It is a dream. Come with me, I will show you something…''
…..
Alison's apartment.
Alonso finished dressing up for school and didn't see Alison. He went to his room and saw her laying on the floor unconscious.
''Alison, Alison…'' Alonso called a few times but Alison wasn't responding so he went out and took his phone to make a call.
Lucia looked at Alison carefully and placed her hand on Alison's forehead. She closed her eyes and a series of images flashed in her head. Lucia opened her eyes and turned to look at Walden.
''Alison is having a dream. More like she has travelled to another time.
''Lady Lucia, what is wrong with Miss Alison?'' Alonso asked.
''I can't see anything. I am only hearing voices and it seems like she is in a banquet. There is a lot of happiness there.'' Lucia looked at Walden.
''Will she be alright?'' Alonso asked.
''It depends on the place she is. if she encounters danger or anyone who sees her, she might really be in danger.'' Lucia looked at Walden. ''Walden, I can't see anything. Something is blocking me from seeing where she is.''
''I will go and bring Kaada. She might know what's going on. For now, don't leave her side." Walden turned and walked out of the room.
…..
Alison watched with glee as she walked in the garden with Kaadie towards the quarters.
''Isn't it beautiful?'' Kaadie turned to ask Alison.
''Huh? Yes… it is indeed beautiful!'' Alison nodded her head.
The two continued to walk, following the servant in front of them. They walked past a few separate quarters. The more the walk, the more Alison felt tired.
''Are you tired?'' Kaadie asked.
''Yes, a little.''
''Don't worry, we will be there soon. Once we get there, you will be able to get a lot of rest.'' Kaadie said and smiled creepily.
Alison's hands started quivering. She suddenly had an ominous feeling. The same feeling she had back then at the elevator when she saw the mysterious lady.
Alison looked at her surroundings and a few things didn't seem quite right. The path they were taking didn't seem like a straight one. The flowers she had seen early on or thought she had seen were suddenly turning into dead plants.
Alison shook off the lady's hand and stepped back.
''What's wrong, Lady Kaadie?'' The lady asked.
''What name did you just call me?'' Alison asked.
''I called you lady Kaadie.''
''Isn't that your name? Why are you calling me by your name?'' Alison asked and stepped back. She fell down and found herself falling into a sinkhole.
…..
Alison's apartment.
Kaada lifted Alison's neck and saw two sharp pin marks at the back of her neck. ''I knew it!'' She muttered.
''What is wrong with Alison?'' Walden asked.
''Alison was poisoned. From the looks of it, it has being a few hours already.'' Kaada placed Alison's head back and stood up. ''Someone poisoned her with the dream potion. The dream potion was once used by the Afila clan to induce dreams in their victims. Using those dreams, they can trap a person's soul in an magic world. The Afila clan has being wiped out by the werewolf pack 300 years ago. There is no one such a portion still exist.''
"Alena! Do you remember her?'' Walden asked.
''Yes, what about her?'' Kaada asked.
''She is back!''
A few minutes later, Lucia stood up from the bed and shook her head. ''That's impossible! How could the elders take such a decision without consulting us first? We are the ones watching the humans.''
''That's why I hate your clan. You demi gods think that you can do anything without being held responsible. My sister's soul is trapped in a dream world and your elders want to sacrifice the human girl just to get rid of a demon you failed to catch years ago. This is the most ridiculous situation ever!'' Kaada said as she glared at Walden.
