Chapter 12 ~ Sounds
~ Subconscious Fallen ~
I am asleep...
…
But the mind never truly stops thinking...
…
…
What happened?
…
…
…
I seemingly floated out of my body. While I kept sleeping, my subconscious mind was alive.
…
…
I floated, going up through the stages of the ceiling. I could go anywhere. Find anything. First I went into my own mind and went inside, as if a ghost, exploring my mind. I wondered if everyone could do this. It seemed like something only Death Wizards should be able to do. I looked through my memories, it looked like a bunch of place, sorted like a file cabinet, I could choose whatever to see. Everything seem right, except for a small folder back in the corner. The memories in there were stuck, and couldn't get out. I heard sounds. Sounds of whispering, of mystery. I decided to try to open the invisible cage. I got out one Echo.
Instantly I was teleported to an entirely different time and place. I was hovering about what seemed to be... It was my dorm room. I saw Lauren, crying by her bedpost. All the sounds were faint and had echoes, but I could make out some.
"Morg- Why- WHY!-
*Stops crying*
I onl- few- come Shad- W- Can Sa- T- Spr-"
I abruptly woke up, in tears and in the brink of screaming. that flash had been no accident. Somehow, I had learned a memory of Lauren. But, it would take so long... suddenly three more 'words' flash through my mind, but they came from my mind because they were merely echoes. Quee- S- Tail. Hmm... MORGANTHE s CAROLINE QUEE S s TAIL. So Morganthe knew something about Caroline, and one of my roommates' pets were... a tail? Hmm...
My half-asleep mind couldn't make the obvious connections, and this would be merely a dream to me tomorrow. What would happen? Where had it really come from? Where would I go, in place and in life? What would my life be like, knowing I had some of Lauren's memories, but unable to share them?
Lying in bed, I did not know I had accidentally shared my experience with Lydia, Queen Sebastian Caroline, AND Queen Shadow.
So they heard, too.
But they thought it was a dream.
Just a dream.
How wrong they were.
