Chapter 10: Dreaming
I'm walking barefoot through the forest in a white dress, in search of something. The only problem is I don't know what I'm looking for.
"Princess," someone calls. I look around, searching for the owner of the voice. "Princess." It calls, closer this time.
"Who's there?" I whisper.
"Princess," it calls back. I look down at my feet and notice a small bird standing in front of me, looking up at me. It opens its mouth to speak. "Princess." It hops away deeper into the trees. "Princess." It continues to call out as if to have me follow. I pull up my dress a bit so I can walk and follow him through the trees.
I follow the bird into a clearing, and then he's gone. The wind around me whispers in my ear. "Princess," It calls. The world around me begins to spin and suddenly I'm in Moonacre Village.
"Princess," I hear the bird call. It is sitting on the well at the center of the village, staring at me. It calls again. "Princess." I walk forward, heading straight toward the bird. Once I reach out to touch it, it turns to dust. I pull back, horrified, and jump when an arm snakes around my waist.
"I knew you'd find me," A male voice whispers in my ear. The person plants light kisses on my cheek and jaw. I close my eyes. "You'll always find me."
"You left me," I say weakly.
"I didn't," he says. "I never left you."
"Eve!" A girl screams. I open my eyes and see May's body, crumpled on the ground. "Eve, save me!" she cries out to me. I hear a loud bang and suddenly, May turns to dust. I reach out to them but their gone. I begin to weep. I begin to walk toward where May once stood.
"Shh," he soothes. "Stay with me, Princess. Don't leave me."
Then, I am dust. He is dust. Everything is dust. Nothing exists.
I am running through the forest, running for my life. The sound of horses' hooves and the cries of Coeur De Noir and his men urges me to go faster.
The Pearls, my mind screams, find the Pearls. Save the Valley.
I make it to a clearing, and then I realize I am not alone. A dark figure stands beside me. It towers over me and I cannot see its face, but I do not fear the figure. We walked to the massive oak tree at the center of clearing, and I begin to climb. At the top of the tree is a large branch with a hole in the center. Before I know it, I'm falling backwards, plunging to my death.
I stare blankly at the pool of water, knowing what I must do. The magic of the Pearls pulls me towards the water, craving it. I look back at the people behind me and give them a small smile. Then, I look to him. The pain in his eyes is unbearable. He knows as well what has to happen.
"Eve," he pleads. "Don't do it." I just shake my head; I don't have a choice.
I turn back to the water and close my eyes. And then, I jump.
(A/N) Okay, so this isn't very great. Just Eve's dreams while
she's unconscious in the De Noir Dungeons...
A little foreshadowing aswell, maybe? )
