Chapter 21 - Ç20

TWO WEEKS LATER .

Graduation day.

"Ria Gonzalez " Ria walked to the podium to receive her Certificate. Once she received it and heaved a sigh of relief.

Finally,university is over!!!

"Congratulations Ria" June embraced Ria happily. Lately June had become a breath of fresh air and always made the Gonzalez family happy due to her always cheerful mood. But as she got more happier it's the more weirder things were happening to her especially at night , sleepwalking, screaming in the middle of the night as if she was being chased but she didn't know this since in the morning she became her normal person. Last night she almost strangled Ria leaving strangle marks on Ria's neck. It was getting scarier.

"Thanks" she looked around for her dad " Where is he?"

"He couldn't come there was an emergency at the company but don't worry am here ,let's go to the mall and celebrate your success" June was very cheerful as she dragged Ria to the car. Ria's dad had never asked about June's identity,guess he was happy to see his daughter happy and with company.

They both had been avoiding Tristan especially Ria ,she didn't even want to get a glimpse of him though they collided many times at the campus but she made sure their conversation was simple and light.

Currently they are inside a café in the mall. The place is full to capacity such that they had to wait to have a table just for themselves. They were both eating as they silently stared at each having a silent convo on who break the ice first.

June sighed.

"Why are you avoiding Tristan so much especially after we came from Klara's weird place?" June asked carefully watching Ria's any slight reactions.

" Because I just don't want to speak with him" Ria lied to her sister wishing that June wouldn't know but...

June narrowed her eyes and Ria could deduce that June knew she was lying.

" Ok ,when we were coming back from that place two weeks ago ,I had a dream, a vision I don't even know but am sure I saw it " she trailed off as she looked at the food.

"and?"

" Well ,I saw him covered in blood ,his clothes and even face was covered with blood and below him there were bloody bodies " her eyes shone and tears had began to show. June could see the horror on Ria's face. She could just imagine having the same dreadful dream each and every night and she couldn't avoid it. She knew how it felt since she had lived with her worst nightmare, Ace, everyday. June inched closer and and held her hands. " What scared me was that ,all of the dead bodies were girls bodies,all of them"

June stared at her and only shivered at the thought of it and she was not even done .

" Why didn't you tell him or me, by now we both know that he and his brother are obviously not normal humans and so are we ,he should have a good explanation to all this "

" I can't ,I'm...I'm ,I'm scared since I have those dreams everyday ,I can't even face him since I keep remembering him once I see him" her tears were flowing at a faster rate than before. She sobbed as she hugged June who avoided tears. Once done she wiped her tears and looked at June.

" Let's not worry we'll figure this out ,okay " June assured her. Some people were watching but the two cared less.

"And you ,why were you Soo stunned when you saw Khalifa the other day " Ria asked smiling a little.

"Well because, I once saw him at Ace's house back then but am not sure he recognized me but I once saw him in my dream" June saw the small blush on June's cheek.

"What was that dream about, dear sister" it was fun watching her blush and act as if nothing happened in her dreams.

"Let's go home now, it's getting late now " she said trying to avoid that topic ,Ria only shook her heard while she smiled. "I have to go to the restroom wait for me" June ran off to the restroom leaving Ria to wait outside.

'Hey Ria' she only heard a whisper and looked around and searched.

"Who called me?" she muttered to herself as she looked around.

'Ria' this time it was louder and colder.

Ria almost jumped due to the scare , looking around she saw no one.

"Looking for me?" she looked and saw Tristan standing before her. He was towering before her smiling. How was he ever smiling. When was the last time she saw that gorgeous smile, his face and hair. Everything about him always lured her to him.

"Since you've been avoiding me so much I decided to come see you" he said that so seductively such that she she forgot how to breath. She even forgot about that disturbing call earlier on. He inched closer to her as he looked at her. He jailed her between his strong arms.

"Breathe Ria" he whispered as his lips touched hers. How was she supposed to breathe when he was this close to her. Her traitorous body had already deceived her. She closed her eyes and kissed him first. Then he pulled away.

"Seems like you missed me more than I did , bye Sweetie" he began to walk away. She just stared at him then he disappeared in less than a second. He must have been following her. June just walked out.
