Chapter 24 - Theory

.......ONYX'S POV........:..

I paced around the corridor close to my room ,I was feeling perturbed and I couldn't go back to sleep after that weird dream. This time around I saw my sister in a dark cell chained to the wall and instead of shouting for help she was declaring her stance to not give in to the vices of a dark hooded figure.

I sat down for a while and thought things through, this certainly means that she doesn't actually die prior to my first set of dreams.

Still I felt uneasy about the dreams and I also felt like my dreams were planted. I mean it's possible,my recent discoveries had proved this thought. I was about to go back to my room when I saw a strange light emanating from Ondina's room.

Curiosity got the best of me and I walked towards her room and silently knocked on the door. She didn't reply for a while so I decided to let myself in. 

Lo and behold, Ondina was there glowing on her bed with her eyes wide open and a strange velvet hue lingering in her pupils.

"Ondina!!!!!!" I shouted shaking Ondina with force but she didn't respond. I continued shaking her for a while but still I didn't receive any response.

I stopped trying to snap her out of the trance and just watched her. From the corner of my eye I saw the book on the Norahsans opened with words in the book.

I could remember clearly when I was younger that I found this book in my dad's study with no words in it. But now,all of a sudden it had words and was also glowing with the same aura and energy of my sister.

I picked up the book and glanced through it,seeing how explanatory it was I used my phone to take pictures of the book. When I checked the pictures the pages of the book was blank.

The book was very precise and had a chapter about dreams and how they can be planted or can sound as a warning. I was developing a migraine from everything, so I dropped the book and continued to watch my sister. 

While consistently watching her for a while I noticed how she held the necklace I got for her close to her chest. I took the necklace from her and suddenly everything around her lost the glow and eventually her. Suddenly her eyes turned normal and she started hyperventilating.

I hugged her and tried to calm her down but she was still hyperventilating. She looked at me and hugged me tightly 

"Onyx I'm scared" she said admits sobs.

After she finally calmed down I tucked her in and told her to sleep. After she had slept,I returned to my room and slept with a million thoughts in my head.

......…ONDINA'S POV.......

I sat up on my bed with my head wide open ,I took steady breaths to calm my palpitating heart. After I had calmed down for a while I felt a warm sensation coursing through me and that's when I finally noticed that my whole room was glowing with bright lights and so was I. I was so shocked but before I could question anything, I felt something take over me.

It felt like I was transported into a dark realm. This place was so dark that I couldn't even see myself. As I was questioning the reality of this place I felt myself moving towards a large iced structure that was the only source of light in the place. As I was examining the structure I felt a presence there but I couldn't see anyone.

"Who's there!"I screamed into the darkness and no response came.

"Come out now!" But still no response from anyone. I was starting to get creeped out and then I heard someone laugh and it wasn't that type of calm and humorous laughter but it was that which carried a lot of malice and darkness.

I immediately stepped back when I heard the laughter but there was literally no where to run to. The person stopped laughing and said 

"Nice to meet you again sister....., it's been a while" the voice said with a scary voice.

What did he mean by sister?, the only brother I ever had was Onyx and this was definitely not him.

"It's sad you know, the fact that you forgot about your dear brother within a short period of time. But don't worry sis, this time around I'll make sure that I perfect and complete your death as soon as I have the access to my powers." He said menacingly and the presence left.

I was so scared but before I could grasp what just happened I was in my room again and Onyx was there comforting me.

         I woke up with a bad headache and an even worse mood. Nothing in my life right now was going accordingly. I stood up from my bed and went to take a cold shower to calm my racing mind. 

After freshening up, I got dressed in casuals and was about to leave my room when I caught sight of the necklace that Onyx got for me. I decided to wear it even though it was off my outfit.

I left for Onyx's room because we had a lot to talk about. I got to his room to find out that he wasn't there. While I was still contemplating on where he might be, I heard a familiar laughter coming from the dining room. 

I got to the dining room to find out that we had visitors. My Uncle who was also the General in charge of the Military forces in the kingdom the and his daughter Jemma.

"Ondina!" Jemma exclaimed rushing to hug me. I hugged her back enthusiastically and greeted my uncle.

We all sat down for breakfast but I noticed that Onyx seemed off. He wasn't eating neither was he talking to anyone on the table I texted him and asked him what was wrong but he told me that he was fine and I shouldn't be worried.

He smiled at me then continued devouring his food. After the eventful breakfast I showed Jemma and my uncle to their room to freshen up. Jemma decided to come with me to the garden

"I've missed you Jemma, it's been long that I had a friend around me" I said with a huge smile.

"I've missed you too" she said.

We continued walking deeper into the garden, we reached the greenhouse and she faced me and held my hands.

"Ondina I have something very important to tell you but I can't tell you here or anywhere near this house but what I want you to know is that you should be very careful because some people here are after something you possess." Jemma suddenly said with a worried expression . But before I could inquire about what she meant her expression returned to normal and she signaled for me to stop talking and we returned to the house.

Immediately I escorted her to her room, I rushed to Onyx's room to have a word with him. I knocked on his door for a while before he finally responded. I noticed his mood again was off, I wanted to inquire about his mood when he said 

"Ondina I think that you are presently in danger"

"You had the same dream again, when I fell off the cliff right" I asked

"What ? No, is that what you dreamt of the previous night?" Onyx asked perplexed 

"Umm so you dreamt of an entirely different thing last night" I asked Onyx

"Yes" he replied with a shaking voice.

  ...…. A FEW MINUTES LATER...…

Onyx and I each shared the scenarios we saw in our dreams and about the weird light and the supposed trance I got into. I avoided the the conversation that ensued between me and the presence while I was explaining things to Onyx. I had a feeling that all these things were more complicated and I had to solve these mysteries by myself.

Onyx was in deep thought after I told him what I saw, we were both shocked without reason so there was a weird silence that ensued between us. I finally broke the silence saying

"What's going on Onyx?, why these things happening"

My words were met with a thick wall of silence, I looked over at Onyx and realized that he was hesitating and he obviously want to tell me something. Before I could ask what it was, he suddenly brought out the strange book I had found in my dad's study.

"I found this in your room yesterday "Onyx said 

"I'm sorry but I swear I was going to return it " I said apologetically 

"That's not what I mean" he said 

"This book was glowing too and suddenly it had words in it "he continued. I shook my head in denial and said 

"I don't know what you saw yesterday but I have opened this book and there's no sign of it having any content". Onyx sighed frustrated and began to speak 

"But last night it did. And I read some contents of the book which made me to understand that the Norahsans were actually humans who were embodied with magical abilities. 

This gave life to my theory which is that we are descendants of the Norahsans...…
