Chapter 35: Talk

I was attacked by dreams that night. The snake telling me to fulfill my destiny, someone telling me to free Dark Rose, which I didn't understand, the young girl I saw go into the attic, sitting in a blood soaked room crying and begging an invisible killer to not harm her. When I finally woke up I was more tired than when I fell asleep, and my bed looked like a tornado hit it. I groaned and my head rolled to the side to see Alyx sitting on the dresser with something warm, and hopefully chocolately and packed with caffeine, in a mug.

"Please tell me that coffee with chocolate syrup and whip cream," I croaked, Alyx giving me a small smile.

"Is there any other way to have coffee?" he asked, making me smile as well and sit up. After the initial shock of drinking something too hot, I tried to slowly sip the whole cup.

"Ah!" I said a little too loud to get some of the extra heat out.

"Thanks I needed that," I said looking at Alyx, ghost or not he was rather sweet.

"Dark Rose is waiting downstairs, he wants to talk to you," Alyx said my smile fading, well there went my good mood.
