I am proud to present to you chapter 3! I hope you all enjoy it!
Even though Loke constantly said he was okay and feeling well, I just couldn't shake the feeling that something was seriously wrong. I mean, if your face is full of life one day, then gets pasty as a sheet the next, something has to be going on. We stepped out of the fancy restaurant that Loke so kindly brought me as a reward. He seemed happy and well, but being me, I knew something was up. I tried to read his thoughts being the pshycic I am, but for some reason, he seemed closed off. That was weird. We stopped by an ice cream vendor and sat down on a long bench overlooking he sea. I would've thought it was so romantic if I wasn't so preoccupied Loke's health. I wished I could get over the whole thing, but I never seem to be able to drop anything.
"Mikayla? You okay?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up. Loke had a concerned look on his face. Great. I was worried so much about Loke, now he was worried about me. Fantastic. I nodded as cheerfully as I could. "Yeah. Just a little brain freeze is all." He grinned and put an arm around me. I had to admit, even with all of my concern, this was a good day. I felt my eyes bein to close slowly and my head fell on his shoulder and I fell asleep right there.
I had no idea where I was. I tried calling out for Loke, but it seemed as though no one could hear me. I couldn't hear me. I felt the air around me grow thick, like I was suffocating. What was hapening here?
"I thought you would never show up, Mikayla." A strange voice said to me. "Loke...?" I asked. I heard footsteps coming towards me slowly, but beginning to pick up speed. Finally, I saw a high heeled red shoe stop at my foot. I looked up and through the darkness, I could see a woman who looked to be in her twenties. Her white-blonde hair framed her pretty face. "W- who are you?"
"Some one you'll be sorry you messed with." The woman sneered. I was taken aback. I didn't remember even speaking to this woman. Who did she think she was? The lady pulled out something out of her purse; a card. She looked it over carefully. "Yep. You're the one." I was getting really confused. "I'm sorry," I said, backing away from this strange lady. "I don't know you. Have we met?"
"No. But I know you and Leo have met." The woman accused.
"Leo? Who is that? I don't know a Leo." I said, trying to clear things up. Maybe that was what this was about. A little misunderstanding.
"Oh, don't lie to me, you midget! You know what I'm talking about!" The woman yelled at me. I jumped back. "Hey! I'm sorry! I really don't know what you're talking abou-" The woman held out the card and an image appeared from it. I could see me and Loke talking and walking together. "That is Leo." The woman confirmed. I recoiled. 'No." I said, getting scared. "That's Loke." The woman looked at me, looking a little sad. Then her sadness turned to absolute hatred. "He changed his name, didn't he?" She asked. I couldn't stay here any longer. "Look, I have to go-"
"You go nowhere!" The woman lunged at me.
I gasped and shot straight up. Loke looked down at me, frowning. "Mikayla...!" He said, startled. I looked up at him. It was just a dream. I breathed a sigh of relief. "Sorry about that." I said. "I just had a weird dream." Loke grabbed my hand and squeezed. "You sure?' I nodded. "Yeah. Um, by the way, do you have a different name? Like a middle name?"
Loke looked at me with a confused look on his face. "No...not that I know of. Are you sure you're okay?" I nodded and kissed his cheek. "Yes, sweetie. I'm great. Let's just enjoy our time here."
"Good job, Karen." Jellal said. Karen felt very prideful. She never knew she could learn how to dream-hop so soon. "It's really you I should thank. I scared the cheese outta her. Never saw it coming. The only set back is that she's pretending that she doesn't know who Leo is." Jellal frowned. "Maybe Leo hasn't told her yet." Karen considered. "That makes sense, I guess. But why wouldn't he tell her?" Jellal shrugged. "Come. We must get ready for phase 2."
This is the first time I ever made ma chapter with a dream in it. What did you think?
Mika's Questions
1.) Is Karen ever going to be able to forgive Leo?
2.) Can Loke ever find it in his heart to tell Mikayla his secret?
3.) Were you confused when I changed the spelling in Mikayla's name? (Sorry bout that.)
Thanks again! Please review!
