Chapter 28 - Annoying

Twenty-Eight:

 

Dream World

 

As he walks passed through me, I couldn't help but to get angry and without even thinking I threw him my sneaker.

 

"Ouch!" he fiercely glares back at me. "What's your problem?!" he shouted back at me and I kind of scared of his tone but not the way he looks at me.

 

"You! You are my problem!" I answered bravely.

 

"You!" he was about to approached me when someone suddenly blocked his way. "Ilmatar!"

 

"Calm down, Im." She calmly said.

 

"Get out abr let way!"

 

"Kausta äthr, älfinn did néiat mulabra thäet."

 

"Huh! Eru ono trying eom defend her?"

 

"Né. Eka eddyr… varding ono. Ono kenna hvat eka mulabra."

 

Silence.

 

I don't know how long those two keep quiet and it's kind of a tense silence making me hard to breathe.

 

"Whatever!" he answered and walks out.

 

Ilmatar quickly turned around and smiled at me. "So, let's go?"

 

"Wait! You know who is he?"

 

"Yes."

 

"May I know who he is?" Ilmatar looked at me intently but she just smiled at me and walked ahead. "Wait! Am I not allowed to know his identity?"

 

"Of course not!" she answered. "You have the right to know who he is but then, this is not the right time. For now, let us focus in more important things."

 

"But---"

 

"No buts, Jeanne." She said cutting me off. "This isn't just you it is also about Al and I know you understand it more clearly. So, let's go."

 

'She was talking about Almos and when it comes to him, I'll definitely ignore that guy and focus on what is more important.' I decided. "Alright! Let's go!"

 

 

Other Realm

 

"You're being too rude back there, Asim."

 

"What do you expect me to do?"

 

"Talk to her like you normally do."

 

"Really!" Asim harshly hissed. "Do you even know that I don't have the power to control that body?"

 

"Because it has a soul," she said and smiled.

 

"Exactly! That is---"

 

"You just need to treat her well. Even though you are a Fallen Angel, it doesn't mean you should always avoid her. Because if 'he' comes back, Almos won't be able to protect her, he will need someone just like you to protect Jeanne."

 

He deeply sighed. "I know and I will protect her no matter what it takes even if I stay away from her, I will surely keep her save."

 

"Good. And that will be enough."

 

 

Dream World

 

"Where is Almos?" I asked Ilmatar as soon as we sat down at the library.

 

"He's fine. Really fine."

 

"Then, why I cannot see him?"

 

"Because he still busy with the other Dreams, as I told you before, Al is an Angel of Dreams and he has a duty to protect the entire dream in this planet, I hope you understand."

 

I sighed in surrender. "I just couldn't stop myself not to worry of him."

 

"I know…" silence and for some reason I feel like she's hiding something from me. "It's time for you to wake up." Before I could answers the wakeup call pulls me back to my waking days.

 

 

Again, I'm back to my reality without even getting any good explanation that can help me to solve the things that going in my dream.

 

"Haist!" I breathed out deeply and stayed lying in my bed. 'How can I get a chance to talk to Almos and that guy that looks like Chaddy? I really have to know what's going on around me but as I keep waking up I continue to fold all the opportunities that I have.'

 

I close my eyes and just simply let the morning pass by, not even care if I'm going to school and I'll be late if I continue doing nothing.

 

 

Junior and Senior High School

 

"Why were you late earlier?"

 

"Chaddy!" I intently looked through his face and the guy that I met in my dreams and the guy that standing in front of me, were really different. I couldn't even imagine that those two are the same. "No!" I blurted out so quickly that surprised Chadd.

 

"What?!"

 

"Oh! Sorry! I didn't mean to say that, what I mean is I slept over that's why I wake up late."

 

"And for what reason?" he curiously asked, as if I will honestly tell him the truth.

 

"I watch movies late at night that's why I overslept, okay."

 

"Huh!" he smirks. "You really intend to do everything that you wanted just to make sure you finish it."

 

'Oh, that's a relief. He believes my lies.' I silently speak to myself. "Anyway, I won't do it again! I pro—"

 

"What movie did you stay up all night?"

 

Cutting me off like that lost my thoughts and I don't know what I would answer. "Ahm, por qué hay siquiera una necesidad de preguntar eso?"

 

"Hey! What did you just said?"

 

"Ah, I said I watch Dawn-Breaker." I answered and because he knew how much I love watching Vampire stories, I knew he will believe what I just said.

 

"That movie series?" he said in shocked because he knew I already watch the five parts of that movie not only once but many times.

 

I laughed. "Come on! You know how much I love that movie!"

 

"Yeah, right! To the extent that you let yourself sleep so late just to repeat it all over again." He answered. "Anyway, you've already been punished so there's nothing to say."

 

"Uhm!" I nodded and smiled even though I have lots of things in my mind, it was hard for me to open up since even myself I still couldn't believe who I met in my dream.

 

 

"Snap out of it!"

 

"Wha—you!" I was shocked when I suddenly met the last person I don't want to meet in my dream, this rude guy. "What are you doing here?!" I irritably asked.

 

"I supposed to ask you that."

 

I was surprised by his answer but even more surprised by what I discovered.
