Chereads / WHAT HE WAS / Chapter 16 - The first encounter

Chapter 16 - The first encounter

"Michael wait I can't keep up" "then pick up the pace Olivia we don't have all day or would you like me to carry you" . I ran faster trying to catch up with him but he was incredibly fast I don't think any mortal could attain such speed, "that's because he's not and you are not Olivia"a voice said which made me stop" I am not Olivia I am Serena... Serena " I said looking at my hands which were covered in blood and so was my dress but I had never had a dress such as this one I don't think anyone in our century still wore such a dress. I screamed moving back slowly," Olivia come on we don't have all day" Michael said, his voice sounded far away. " Where am I?" I said looking around , the ground was completely frozen but the entire place still covered with tall green trees so tall I could barely see the sky then it hit me, I was in the forest and I was standing exactly where I had seen those sculptures. "What's happening I have to find a way out of here " I said turning to make a run for it but my path was blocked by a clear crystal wall which was not there before. I stepped closer to it so close if I reach out I could touch it but I was too afaird to, something just didn't feel right. I looked at myself and the person which stood there had my face but certainly wasn't me, the girl in the reflection looked confident, strong , beautiful, the way she wore her hair, the very revealing dress which showed most of her bosom and thighs, this girl could never be me." That's because I am not you Serena" my reflection said which made me step back " Olivia?" . "The time is close he will return and this time he is stronger than before, you made him stronger, the closer you get to them the stronger he becomes you are connected to all of them. Find the stone of satzyr it's your only hope to finally end this ..." "I don't understand this is a dream that is what it is it's all a dream and I would soon wake up and it would be all over " I said covering my ears with my palms ."Serena " someone touched my shoulder and the girl... my reflection stood there she grabbed my hand pulling me close pushing back my hair, she placed her hand on my birthmark mark "finally you have come" she said with tears in her eyes."I don't know what you mean..." She pulled me closer "you are their bane" she said letting go of me. " Wait you have to explain I don't understand who are you.." I had a cracking sound underneath me, I looked down and the frozen ground was breaking " it's time to wake up" she said with a smile and I fell through the ground.

I woke up covered in sweat my entire night dress was so soaked it stuck to my body. It felt like I had been asleep for hours but when I checked my alarm clock it had only been thirty minutes. I rubbed my eyes, the dream felt like a memory one which most of it wasn't mine. I reached for my table lamp flipping the switch on " Fuck! What are you doing here" I screamed nearly scared to death, Triston was sitting on Tisha's bed reading. He seemed quite amused "I am sorry did I frighten you I didn't mean to, truly" he said the corners of his lips pulling upwards in a smile, his so handsome. "What are you doing here, don't tell me Tisha asked you to watch over me I'm not a baby I can take care of myself" I said apart of me desperately wishing he'd say he was here to see me not because of Tisha but because he wanted to. He looked at me his eyes searching my face " I... Tisha did not ask me to watch you" he paused looking away "I wanted to see you.." my heart stopped for a second and there was a ringing noise in my ear. "You.. you wanted to see me?" I stuttered,"why I thought you hated me?" I said pulling my covers up to my chest. He looked at me for a second I thought he looked surprised "why would you think that" he said his voice deeper than before, did I upset him. " Well you have been quite rude to me though I deserve some of it but not all of it and I did apologize.." " I don't hate you, I can't even if I tried to " he said with a sigh pushing up some loose curls which fell on his face,he placed the book on the bed his eyes meeting mine and I felt my insides turn into jelly. He got up walking towards me , I tried to control my breathing as much as possible. "How are you " he said sitting on my bed close to me. "You know" I said looking away from him, my eyes tearing up. "Hey" he said softly touching my cheek, I loved the feeling of his fingers on me. "Nothing happened okay I made sure of that" he said his eyes locked with mine. I felt like reaching out and touching him. " It was you wasn't it, you were there.. you saved me" I said shocked what was he doing there, what was Xavier doing there, were we're the others, were did they go. "Thank you "I said softly. " There is nothing to thank me for and I promise that is the last you would here from them" he said squeezing my fingers gently. "I am sorry for the way I have been acting, I'm not really used to not being obeyed"he said with a smile which made me smile as well. "I, would you come with me I would like to show you something" he said with a smile

"Now?" "No, no later by 7pm I would wait for you outside " he said letting go of my palm which made me frown I didn't want him to let go. " Okay " I said softly he nodded kissing my forehead slightly his beautiful eyes meeting mine, my palms felt sweaty and I felt like there was a fire growing in the pit of my belly, I wanted him to kiss me. My eyes scanned his face, what perfect features and there it was, that symbol the butterfly right there. " I would be leaving now" he said standing up from my bed "seven pm" he said with a smile before leaving the room. "You're their bane what does that even mean?" I said lying back down on my bed, that was more than a dream it was a message and I needed to find out what it meant and something tells me it had to do with that symbol.
