A/N Hey there. Here's the next chapter Please continue reading, otherwise we might discontinue. It's papaya here! Sorry for rambling on. I'm currently pretending to do German homework. Also to my co-author, you can write the next chapter ( our messages aren't working, yes I know I've mentioned it a million times.) Anyway, I won't keep you any longer.
The dream scene:
We were in a dark forest. No- a light forest. Sort of both. And Noor was clutching my arm.
'So we're here.' She said, 'finally.' I simply nodded, and looked her in the eye. I don't know what she saw but she recoiled the moment her gaze met mine.
And then the ground shook, and everything went blurry. I was now directly outside a huge castle. And being lifted on to a horse.
'Take care.' Said a man. Wait- I knew that face. Prince Arthur. That was his name right?
'We will.' I found myself saying. And I helped Noor onto a space behind me. There was a horse in front of us which Merlin mounted. Wait- Merlin? Where were we going with him?
'Here goes nothing.' He said looking over his shoulder. And the scene dissolved into a forest. Was it the same forest we'd fallen into?
'Well, we seem to have reached the right place.' I chuckled. Noor looked around.
'Not the sort of place you'd expect them to be.'
Who to be? But I didn't say anything. instead I just smiled. A bit like an idiot.
'Jake- there's something I have to say,' Noor started.
I felt my heart picking up speed.
All of a sudden a voice groaned,'Oh save me the cringe lovebirds.'
We swivelled around to see Enoch. A very grumpy Enoch.
I'm sorry what was he doing here? Why was Enoch randomly in this weird loop thingy? This dream was getting weirder by the second.
'Don't you start laughing. It's not fun being stuck in some miniscule sack for half a day.' He snapped, grumpily brushing straw out of his ruffled hair.
'Should have known you'd come along for the ride.' Noor said, walking up to him.
'Wouldn't miss it for anything in the world.' He grinned. They looked at each other for an unnaturally long time.
I felt myself getting jealous and put a protective arm around Noor's shoulder.
'The hollows are here.' Said Merlin, jumping of a tree.'I see we've got company.' He said eyeing Enoch.
Hollows. I should have felt scared, but I didn't. Instead I just laughed good naturedly.
'Took them long enough.'
And everything went a bit too black.
JAKE POV:
I woke up, panting and very, very confused. I looked to my right. Noor had woken up too. She sat up looking at me concerned.
'Not a good sleep?' She asked me. I sat up too, next to her. I shook my head. We were in Gwen's spare bedroom. It was the middle of the night. And I was right next to Noor. The whole thing has been a dream.
'I had a weird dream...'
'Me too. You were there.' She said. I looked at her curiously. 'So was Merlin. And that deadriser guy. You know, your friend,' I was getting a hunch that we had both had a similar dream. 'And there were some hollows-'
'Were you in a forest?' I asked, eyes wide open. She nodded, shocked. We'd had the same dream.
'Do you think it could be prophetic?' She questioned.
'No... Enoch was there... He couldn't be here...' She bit her lip. It was quite possible she was right. We both lay down, Noor snuggling up to me for warmth. It was freezing. I tried to get a good sleep. I knew I wouldn't thank myself if I woke up the next morning feeling tired.
A/N Yes I know that the chapter's confusing, but we skipped some time. And yes that was Enoch! I'm not going to spoil anything but carry on reading to find out! I swear me and my co-author are the only ppl reading this, but I don't care. Anyway, bye now!
