Chapter nine
Joanne's POV
I was sat in a living room on a leather sofa and when I looked round the room I spotted someone sat in a chair. He looked menacing and had greying hair and eyes. He was observing me with complete fascination before he locked eyes with me and I instantly felt small.
"It worked" he beamed as he stood up and came over to crouch in front of me. I was looking at him and I noticed how his eyes weren't greying but, in fact, they were a bright blue colour. I wonder why they looked grey when I first looked at him? I pushed that to the side as he evilly grinned at me.
"You need to listen to me, okay?" he asks and I nod. I mean, heck, this is my dream so nothing can hurt me right?
"You need to get rid of this child. If you have it you're only going to get yourself killed. By me specifically." He points out and I felt all the blood drain from my face as he carried on talking.
"This baby, it'll be the death of you. You can have the child, but if you do that then I may have to kill you. This child is going to be born with a lot of power and in order for that much power to be kept under control; we need to kill off part of the source. Which would be you" he tells me and I kept trying to wake myself up. I didn't like this dream and I couldn't get it to go away. Why can't I break my own dream?
"You think this is all a dream" he laughs and I instantly freeze in place.
"This is no dream, but a warning. I do exist and am currently entering your sleep induced mind with the help of my Djinn of course. We believe that if you and the baby are together for long enough then you will create too much power for the earth to handle" he tells me and that's when I realise where that build-up of energy between me and Lewis has been going. It's getting absorbed by our child.
"There must be another way. There is no way a baby could threaten you." I argue and he just smirks at me.
"Your right. A baby will be no threat, but once that child has grown up there will be trouble" he tells me and I felt the tears as they leaked down my cheeks. Was this man being serious? This has to be a dream, it has to be! I just need to wake up, just pretend none of this is happening. I close my eyes and try to wake up.
I sprang up to a sitting position with the tears still pouring down my face. What just happened? I didn't know what to do, what to think. I was so confused. I then looked to the side where I could see Lewis sat up on his bed staring at me. I could see the concern in his eyes but it was obvious he didn't know whether to approach me or not.
"Lewis" I whispered and that made his decision for him as he jumped out of the bed and came over to me. He sat down on the side of the bed and I flung myself in his arms. I need to tell him, whether it was a dream or not I still needed to tell him. He can always make everything okay. He'll know what to do.
"Hey, what's wrong?" he asks as he holds me close. I didn't want to tell him right now but I needed him.
"Can I tell you later?" I ask him hopefully.
"Yeah, of course you can. Everything's okay, you know that right?" he asks and I didn't know what to say. I didn't know if everything was okay or not. Not after that dream. So I just said the one thing that I knew was the right thing to ask.
"Can you stay up here with me please? I don't want to be on my own" I tell him and he agrees before we both lie down. It wasn't that cramped on the bed seeing as I laid on my side while cuddling up to Lewis' chest and he seemed comfortable enough as he wrapped his arms around me. He promised me nothing would happen while he was here and with that I drifted back off into what I hoped would be a pleasant sleep.
