Chapter Five:

I go to my room and it looks like the living room just smaller and with a bed. The bed has a couple of blankets, one that was black, with a hole in it but it looked cozy anyway. I take that one and give him the light sheer blue one and the heavier pink one. I grab some pillows on my way to the living room. He is still reading in the window sill nook.

"Here I thought you would need these." I walk towards him and that is the moment that the world decided to cause me to trip. I was okay with hitting the ground I should remember this happens often to me but I couldn't handle the fact that I keep falling in front of this man. This freaking man. Next thing I know he grabbed my arm. I could feel his hand burning through the sweatshirt. I look down at his hand expecting it to explode in fire, but it did not, I look back up at him and melt into his golden-brown eyes once more. I open my mouth trying to thank him but instead nothing comes out. I look down at the pillows and blankets scattered across the ground, in that moment I fled. I flew back to the safety of the room I could not handle the embarrassment anymore. I can hear him trying to say something but I don't hear what it is, I am too embarrassed with myself. I closed the door and get ready for bed. I strip my clothing to where I am just wearing my old t-shirt and panties again. Then I crawl into bed hoping that the world will just engulf me into its darkness before I embarrass myself more. Why me? I soon drift off to sleep.

I dream about a dark room. The darkness in the room seems to be almost heavy like you could touch it. I look around me and all I can see the darkness almost like it is a material thing, there was darkness everywhere. It feels like all happiness has been sucked out of the room, feels the opposite than what it actually felt like. I look everywhere and then I see it. I turn around once more and saw this light. The light is beckoning me to touch it, to almost hold it. I reach out with my arm trying to touch the light to hold it, and in my hand, there is my blade. The blade seems to touch the darkness and almost absorb it leaving light where ever it touches. I hear someone yelling saying

"Stop, you are supposed to be on my side, stop, you are killing me." But I continue doing it mystified that the darkness could be turned into the light with the simplest of touches.

"Stop child. You are going to kill what little family you have like you have already. You don't want to repeat history." With this comment, I stop what I am doing in my tracks. Who was this person to blame me for something I couldn't control?

"How do you know that?"

"Just know I know a lot about you. Stop! This darkness is your home. Stop trying to be something you are not. Join my side, leave Dimitri come find me." It begs me. With this comment I could feel power flow through my body, the darkness entering into my soul.

"See you belong here it welcomes you like its own." But the power felt ugly, felt evil.

"Stop!" I scream. "STOP! I do not want this. I do not want any of this. Please leave me be."

"No! You must set me free my child. So we can rule the world together."

"I do not want to rule the world."

"YOU MUST. It is your destiny."

"No. I don't want to take over the world, that is not my destiny."

"Then you must suffer the consequences. I must force you to understand that if go against me then you will suffer and fate far worse than death!"

With that comment, the room began to shake what I think to be walls began to crumble. I try to move but I am stuck in place the floor crumbling beneath me. I watch as everything crumbles beneath me, there was nothing I could do to stop it. In this moment of realization, I wake up screaming, sweating waiting for the world to crumble. It takes me a few seconds to realize that I am back in my room in the cabin. I through the pathetic blanket I have off of me and I get up to go get some water. My throat felt like it was on fire, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was in something that was way over my head. I walk into the living room and Dimitri is fast asleep the blankets only half covering him leaving his chest bare. I go to him and try to cover the rest of him with the blanket. But in the moment I try to do this he somehow flips me over, him on top of me, with a knife to my neck. I put my hands up trying not to let my instincts kick in, all I wanted to do was fling him off of me.

"Jesus comrade I wasn't trying to kill you," I say rolling my eyes.

He realizes in the next second that it's me and lets the knife fall.

"What are you doing up?"

"I had a nightmare. Went to go get some water. Saw you here with barely any blankets on and I went to cover you up."

"What was your nightmare?"

"Oh, it was nothing comrade. Go back to sleep you need it." I looked at him again and it looked like he hadn't slept in decades.

"What was the dream?"

"Just a conversation I had with myself about letting someone free."

"Let who free?"

"Apparently, my father or mother I don't know they called me child, it could be anyone or my own mind which it probably was." I laugh, but he looks at me almost horrified.

"It has started."

"What has started?" But he didn't hear this question he was already on the phone with people telling them what I just told him. I really didn't appreciate that he was telling people my personal business, but I guess I didn't have a choice now. I go and get my cup of water and wait for him to finish talking to his superiors or whatever. When he is done he turns to me almost with this look that he would kill anyone right now if he could.

"They told me not to leave you alone. Start your training right away and then send you to them as soon as possible."

"Whatever you say, comrade. I am going to go back to sleep it's been a long day."

"I will come in and check on you in a few moments."

"Ah the whole can't leave her alone to sleep in peace is a thing now huh?" I say sarcastically as possible.

"They told me not to leave you out of my sight I am at least giving you some room here okay. I shouldn't even be doing that."

"You need sleep too. I probably won't be able to sleep for a while. How about you take the bed and I will take the rocking chair that's in the corner of the room. Since you will obviously be staying in my room so you don't violate orders." I say while mocking him.

He thought about this for a second and realized how tired he was.

"No. I will be fine." I realized that he wasn't going to give in, so I ran to the room before he could stop me and took the rocking chair. He was behind me almost immediately.

"How did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Get here so fast."

"I don't know, but you will take the bed. I am not moving and if you try to move me I will pass use all my power against you, that's going to hurt me more than you."

"Fine." He grumbles, he looked kind of afraid that I might actually do something to hurt myself. He heads to the bed and lays down.

"Just because you gave me the bed doesn't mean I will be sleeping." I could tell he was already falling asleep, and that he will be out in a few second. I sat in the rocking chair and looked out the window into the cold outdoors. I wonder what practice will be like tomorrow with all this snow.

Next thing I remember is being woken up by someone picking me up and moving me to the bed.

"You should have woken me up."

"You needed the sleep," I mumble at him. I feel my head hitting the silk pillow and I was out.
