Running. Running from what? A eerie glow manifesting behind her. Chasing her down claiming it owned her. That it would consume her once more. 'No!' She thought recognizing the eerie glow it was just a different colour it wasn't the green she recognized which made her only run faster.
"I own you foolish girl" the dark hissing voice said. She knew it wasn't the one who once contained it because their voice was alluring,compelling made you want to help their cause. "No! I refuse to! I refuse to be part of this!" She claimed and looked around her there had to be a way of escape a way out!
She saw the alley it was all she had running faster as street light exploded as the eerie glow chased her down, hunting her. That made her run faster and made her more alert. Stumbling she felt it wrap around her entrapping her pain searing through her. Her screams of pain did nothing no one came to her rescue.
This had to be her own personal hell, she regretted ever working for DOMA. Feeling the familiar power but it was…stronger? Far worse than last time.
"Welcome back princess. Now how about you get me the pharaoh and this time you won't fail"
She awoke to a sweat the figure next to her on the bed still fast asleep , it been five years, and she was married to him, the one who lead her to Dartz. Lately her nightmares had been the same. The orichalcos returning and far worse than ever before.
Slipping out of bed she slipped her slippers and robe on going into the kitchen grabbing the kettle putting water in it placing it on the stove starting to heat the water as she grabbed a packet of lavender tea, this was the third time this week she's had that nightmare, and it frightened her to tell him about it. Grabbing a cup from the cupboard she tried to calm herself down as she placed the cup on the counter and sat at the table tapping it with her fingers worried.
"Oi!" A all too familiar Aussie accent called "wha'cha doing up?" He asked leaning against the wall looking at her seeing her expression. A'wright what's buggin' yah?" He asked seeing her stressed and worried composure. He felt he wouldn't get a answer out of her, typical Lizzie stubborn yet he loved that quality in her. Seth sighed wrapping his arms around her from behind "ev'erthin' is gonna be a'wright luv. I know you're worried an' all but don't be I mean it's ta be expected with children and all.
She jumped up blushing a vibrant red. "Oh..you think I'm.." Laughing nervously she shook her head "I can guarantee you I'm not pregnant. It's nightmares…just fragments of my imagination."
Raising his brow he looked at her a seriousness appearing on his face. "shelia what about? What are the nightmares about? You can tell me what's bothering ya."
Going to the whistling tea pot she poured the boiling water into her cup dunking the tea packet into it. "It's nothing to worry about. " she said and avoided eye contact.
He knew she was lying and immediately grabbed her wrists. "Tell me!" He begged noticing the pain in her face the last time he saw this was before making her join Doma. "The orichalcos?!" He asked "we both know that's not possible!"
She looked at him "Seth. I'm frightened these nightmares feel so realistic. I swear at times they're real and I can't escape from them. " Throwing the tea bag away in the garbage and adding a little sugar stirring her tea she bit her lip finally bringing the cup up to her lips taking a sip as her hands trembled. What if it wasnt a dream? What if it came to pass or if something similar happened? She didn't know but it frightened her and if it did happen could she resist it this time or would it consume her as it did once before.
This wasnt going to help especially since she had college classes and her mind wouldn't be completely focused. "I'll message my professors say I won't be able to make it, I'll have to message pharaoh later to figure this out. " she spoke softly before finishing her tea and headed back to the bed room to lay down.
He saw this was bothering her, what if she was right? What would they do? Would they stop it as they did once before, and the main thing was Dartz behind it this time around or would it be a totally different threat? Most of all would who ever was behind this , were they trying to regroup Doma?
