Chapter Nine: Rose finds Vampires and Hawks do exist in People
Rose could hardly believe it, she was going to get to know JACK better! She smiled, as her heart raced in excitement. But, little did she realize that once Cal had a girl cornered, she was his for keeps! Well, day passed into night again, and Rose went to sleep. It was at this time that she began to have another dream, which went as such:
12:00 - Midnight
Rose could see that she was at school, but this time, the surroundings looked much different. She saw her locker, and she walked towards it. She saw.Dracula? Standing by her locker. Chills ran up her spine as she found herself staring face to face with this, seemingly, mythological creature. However, this 'mythological' creature seemed to be too real to be fantasy! Dracula gave her a quite menacing look before he began to talk. It was then that Rose thought to herself in shock, 'He can talk, YIKES!' Dracula talked in a very distant, and growling tone, which reflected evil. As he talked, he looked at her with an evil smile, and a look in his eyes, which simply suggested that he could hardly wait to make her a part of his menagerie. Dracula said, "So, my dear, I hear that you've met my protégée? Ah, my pretty, sweets to the sweets, you want to escape from this game, this TRAP? Well, such is not possible. When one enters the game of doom and deception, one enters into the lair of devils, from which there can be no return." It was then that he deposited a ring in her hand, which had a strange insignia, which she couldn't quite decipher, he said, "This is a present from the heavens below." Dracula disappeared.
12:10 - A.M.
Rose woke up in quite a state of shock. She looked at her face in the mirror, before she pondered to herself, "I never knew there were heavens 'below'!" The room was dimly lit, but Rose swore that she could see menacing shadows milling around in the room behind her. She could make out the faint image of a vampire, which appeared in the mirror, directly behind her. She turned around in such fright that she could feel her heart racing in her chest. She looked behind her, and she saw nothing, or so she thought! She felt a very strange and unpleasant burning sensation in her right palm, which was where Dracula had placed the ring in her dream. She looked down, and she turned on her chest light. She gasped in shock, 'why, it's singed black!' she thought to herself in shock. She looked down and examined the wound further, and she saw that there was a black, charred round, circular exterior, in the center of which was a huge glistening red area. She ran her hand across the glistening area, "it's blood!" she commented to herself in shock. She took a Kleenex and began to wipe all of the blood away from the center of her right palm. Underneath the blood was where she saw a very bright orange fire, thinking this was strange, she held up her palm in front of her face, so that it was in front of the mirror. She noticed that the fire was a holographic image, and when she looked at this image, she appeared to be taken into a distant dimension. She then saw the image of Dracula appearing, and he looked like a fine gentleman, what being decked up in the nicest black clothes, with a black cape tied around his neck. She noticed his menacing fangs, and she noticed that some light appeared to be reflecting off of these fangs, so that they glimmered with some sort of glow. She noticed that Dracula had a hideous face, something that was grotesque, and was distorted beyond reality, and was UGLY! It was then that Dracula looked straight at her, as he said, "Welcome to my realm, my dear, welcome to heaven, WELCOME TO HELL!" He then disappeared into thin air, as he was laughing. Rose held up her right palm in the mirror again, and she noticed that it had completely healed. 'That's strange!' she thought to herself in amazement.
12:20 - A.M.
Rose saw black smoke gathering behind her. She then saw the image of Cal appear. Cal's image solidified, until he was real. Rose turned around in shock, but when she did so, she saw that there was no one else in her room. So she turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. It was then that she saw Cal's image, which, looked real. Cal talked, and she could hear his voice tones, which sounded as though they were emanating from another dimension, because they were so distant and hollow. "ROSE! I LOVE you! How can you do this to me?" Cal said. It was at that point in time that Cal put his right hand on Rose's right shoulder, as he said, "Come, my dear, be my QUEEN FOREVER!" Startled, Rose said, "No, I've had it with you!" Then Cal gave her a mesmerizing look, as he said, "But I love you. I'm sorry for the way I treated you. Come now, I promise, I'll never do it again, it'll be different this time, I swear!" It was then that he placed a necklace, which had quite a few exquisite blue diamonds around it, in fact, it was the blue diamonds, which made up the necklace, Rose noticed that there was a white diamond, which was a pendant, which hung in the center of the necklace. Rose's heart was won over, and she said, "Ok, Cal, I forgive you!" It was then that Cal smiled, and he said, "Honey, it's ok, I knew you'd see it MY WAY!" He then stooped down, and placed a very gentle peck on Rose's right cheek, which felt as though it was warming her cheek, and her heart as well. Then, the apparition of Cal disappeared.
12:30 - A.M.
Rose looked down, and she noticed that she was wearing the necklace on her neck, and she thought to herself, while she was smiling, and walking towards her bed, 'My God! Cal is a gentleman!'
All the while, Jasmine, from her hidden and invisible place in the spiritual realm was smiling to herself, she thought to herself, 'Poor Rose! She should have thought, 'My God! Cal is a manipulative bastard, he tried to win my heart over by lying to me, and by presenting me with a nice present!' Rose should have thrown the necklace back at Cal in a sign of anger. She'll learn, however, she'll see that there are people you shouldn't ever meet in life. I'm still surprised that Rose hasn't been picking up on the clues I've been trying to send her, with the messages from Jack, with the psychic dreams, and with the visions. But, I guess there are some in this world who must learn things the HARD way!'
Rose could hardly believe it, she was going to get to know JACK better! She smiled, as her heart raced in excitement. But, little did she realize that once Cal had a girl cornered, she was his for keeps! Well, day passed into night again, and Rose went to sleep.
