Fallen/ Chapter 19 – It Had Started
Tension.
That was what Gabriella Montez was feeling at that moment. As soon as she woke up from that dream, she felt her body go tense and she wasn't able to slow down her heartbeat. Turning her head to the right, she took a breath at the sight of her alarm clock showing the numbers 2:45 am, in bright red. Slowly sitting up, Gabriella moved her leg to the side of her bed, picking her phone up from her nightstand, dialing a number she knew too well.
"Hello?" The person on the other side said in a sleepy voice.
"Madeleine?"
"Yes. It is she. Who is talking?"
"Hi, it's me, Gabriella." She said, walking to her desk, turning the lamp on before she sat down on the chair.
"Miss Gabriella! How nice to hear you? How have you been?"
"Good and it's nice to hear you too. How everyone over there?"
"We're fine dear."
"That's good to hear. Is Catherine there?" She asked, looking out the window and into the dark pool.
"Yes, just wait a second." Nodding her head, she pushed her hair behind her ear before she looked over her shoulder.
"Gabriella? What's wrong?"
"Hey Catherine. It's nice to hear you."
"The same here. How are you?"
"Good."She said, leaving a silence before she took a breath.
"What's wrong dear?"
"It's nothing."She said, shaking her head to the side, rubbing her forehead.
"I know you. What's wrong."
"It's just a dream. A dream that I actually dreamed for the second time and it's freaking me out."
"What is it about?"Catherine said, slowly sitting down on her bed, giving a look to Madeleine to leave her alone.
"I don't know."Gabriella said, resting against the back of the chair."I keep running in this kind of... of castle."
"Keep going."
"As if I'm looking for something and then out of nowhere, a ghostly figure appear in front of me. She looks so... so angelic."She whispered, closing her eyes, trying to imagine the face of the mysterious figure in her mind.
"And then what?" Catherine said, briefly closing her eyes.
"She calls me. She keep repeating my name when suddenly I can hear screams all around me."She mumbles, feeling chills invade her body just by remembering the piercing screams.
"Screams?" Catherine asked, her eyes opening.
"Yes, screams and I can kind of smell like fire, as if something is burning when suddenly the ghostly figure of the woman ran through me. That's when I woke up."
"It's the second time you dreamed of this? Was the first time when you called at this same hour?"
"Yes and I felt like this time it was more vivid." Gabriella said, almost on the verge of crying.
"Oh dear. Don't cry. It's just a dream."Catherine said, rubbing her forehead.
"I know but it scares me."
"Don't worry. It's only a nightmare nothing is going to happen. Okay?"
"Yeah. Sorry for calling so early."
"Don't worry dear, if you need to talk, just call me okay?"
"Okay."
"Okay then, go back to sleep and don't think about it."
"Yeah. Goodnight."
"Night dear." Catherine said, before she hang up while she let out a breath."Oh boy..." She mumbled before she walked out of her dark room.
Letting her phone fall on her bed, Gabriella pulled a sweater from her closet before she walked out of her room and into the night. Pulling it closer to her body, Gabriella quickly walked from her bedroom to the last room on her right softly knocking on the door when she reached it. Looking down at her bare legs, she let out a breath when she suddenly saw from the corner of her eye the door open.
"Brie?"
"I'm so sorry to be here so late...well early."She babbled making Troy smile at her. Taking her arm, he pulled her into his room before he closed the door behind her. Turning around she noticed that he was only wearing sweats making her slightly uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Troy asked, turning the lamp of his nightstand on.
"I can't sleep."She said, looking at his lamp.
"Why?" He said slowly sitting down on his bed while she shifted her weight from on leg to the other.
"I had a nightmare and I can't fell asleep because I feel like I'll be back in the dream." She finally said, looking at him.
"Come on."He mumbled to her, moving back on the bed so he was giving her some space to lie on. Walking toward him, she pulled her sweater off before she moved under the cover he was holding up for her.
"Sorry if I woke you up."
"Don't worry about it. I'm actually glad you came and did not went to Charles instead." He trustfully said to her, pulling her closer to him by the waist.
"I'm glad too."She whispered, resting her palm on his bared chest. Looking down at her, Troy pushed a strand of hair that fell from her messy bun when she moved slightly up, giving him a kiss. Pulling back, she looked at him before she turned her body away his to turn the lamp off. Once she was back in his arms, she gave him a sly smile before she reconnected her lips with his. Responding her kiss, Troy moved to his back when she slowly moved on top of him, straddling him. Pulling her down by the neck, he started kissing it making her close her eyes while he nibbled at the soft flesh on her neck. Getting a hold of his strong bicep, she moved it out of her way before she started kissing his jaw until she reached his shoulder, slowly biting into it making a groan escape his sore lips.
"Brie."He groaned into her ear, feeling his fangs trying to push out of their hiding. Quickly sitting up, Gabriella looked down at him but a hand on her neck made her stop any other movement.
"Don't."He quickly mumbled to her. Moving his hand into her hair, he pulled at the elastic band around her bun, letting her wavy hair to fall down. Gabriella briefly closed her eyes before she felt his hands on either side of her hips, felling his soft palm make contact with her tan skin. Looking up at her, Troy grabbed a hold with his other hand at her t-shirt before she helped him take it off her small body leaving her in her black bra. Moving his hand back into her hair, Troy quickly turned them around so he was on top of her. Watching every inches of her face, he kept brushing her hair back while she glanced up at him. Meeting her eyes, Troy felt as if he had traveled back into the night he often dreamt, with Her eyes hunting him every night.
"Your eyes."He whispered to Gabriella.
"What about them?" She replied back, putting a hand on his hand resting on her cheek.
"They're..."He said, narrowing his eyes while he didn't lose hers out of his sight."They are so captivating." Furrowing her brows, she kept looking at him."They are so beautiful yet mysterious."He whispered before he leaned down to kiss her soft lips. Parting her lips, Gabriella let his tongue take full control before he started kissing her jaw and neck until he reached her shoulder. Moving her head to the side, Gabriella bit down her lip when she felt his lips move to her neck once again. Leaving small kisses on her neck, Troy felt under his lips her blood rush in her veins, sensually calling him; inviting him to sink his sharp fang into her soft skin.
"Troy..." He heard her softly moan next to his ear. Attaching his lips once again to her neck, he heard a soft thumb outside his room making him pull back before, looking toward his back door.
"What's wrong?"Gabriella asked, lifting her head, trying to see what got his attention.
"I though I heard something outside." He whispered to her, slowly standing up, making his way to the door. Sitting up, Gabriella looked at the door while Troy slowly reached it. Open it, he took a look outside but didn't see anything. Narrowing his eyes, he got back into his room but when he was about to say something to Gabriella, an loud beeping sound was heard in the room making her let out a small cry at the sudden noise.
"Fuck!" Troy cursed, closing his eyes since the sound had scared him also."Stupid phone." He mumbled, picking up the phone that was on his dresser.
"Sorry if I woke you up. Back from a security check. -Marissa" Troy read, quickly sending her a quick answer before he turned the phone off.
"Geez that was scary." Gabriella mumbled, rubbing her forehead.
"Sorry about that."He said, joining her on the bed.
"It's fine."She said, grabbing her shirt that was on the corner of the bed, putting it on.
"Don't go."Troy said, grabbing her wrist."I know we went too fast into things but... I couldn't help it."He said to her while she sat down on the bed, looking at him."We have been in this 'relationship' for almost three months-"
"But that doesn't mean we're official dating Troy."
"I know, let me finish."He said to her with a smile."In those three months, I have come to the point where you mean something for me Brie. It's like, I have this amazing girl in front of me all the time playing my supposed girlfriend when in fact I do which her to be my real girlfriend."
"Troy."Gabriella said, looking down at her hands when she felt herself being pulled into a kiss.
"I really but really like you Brie and I don't want to lose you in any way possible."He whispered against her lips while he pushed a strand of hair back.
"You won't lose me..." She whispered, looking right into his blue eyes. Smiling, he kissed her one last time before they both lied down under the cover, holding each other close.
Back at the Montez household, Madeleine walked up the stairs to Lillian's bedroom. Taking a breath, she softly knocked before she opened the door. Looking over her shoulder, Lillian glanced back at Madeleine's form by the door before she turned her glance back to the window.
"It had started."She simply said before retrieving herself from the room, making Lillian to quickly look back at the now empty spot where she was previously standing. Walking down the stairs, she noticed Catherine stop in her tracks when she saw her. Slightly smiling at her, she nodded her head before she retrieved to her room while Catherine followed her form with her eyes.
