"Oscar, time for dinner." yelled his aunt from downstairs. He got out of his bed only to hear, "We have to go now. People need us." This is just my imagination, i said to myself. Just go downstairs, thought. "No, we need to go, now" "Stop" I yelled out loud. "This is not a game, That woman you saw in your dream is real, all the people were. If you don't go and try to stop them they will kill everyone, including your aunt." The voice said this with so much emotion, I paused.
"Who are you?" My question was answered with, "Someone very old, the wise part is debatable. It does not matter my name only what I say and do. I could take control and and make you go, but i want it to be your choice. If that cannot happen however, you will force my hand. Besides, don't you want adventure, intrigue, maby romance?" The voice continued on but i still wasn't convinced until a scene, almost like a memory, appeared.
In my vision was a woman who looked to be in her late 20s with with silver and red tipped brown hair. She looked at me and said,"I know this isn't fair to ask but please help him. You have to defeat Salem and end his suffering so that we can finally leave this world and move on." She said this with tears in her eyes. "Take care of her too, please." Then I was startled when I was brought back into my room. The voice had gone quiet then, "Well?"
"Who was that and who is the Salem person she wanted me to help you defeat?" I asked. The voice responded saying, "That was one of the latest Roses. She was a huntress and she was killed about a decade ago on a mission I sent her on in hopes that she could defeat Salem. Sadly, it failed. Salem, to answer your other question, is the master of the creatures of Grimm. She is the mother of all evil, and the reason I am cursed to reincarnate into the body of a like minded soul."
When the voice finished he thought, this is crazy. The voice responded with, "I assure you you are not crazy." "I am talking to a voice in my head!" "I said you were sain not normal"
"I have another question." I said. "Ask away" The voice responded. "Why did she give up her life to help you defeat this Salem? I mean I get that she was a huntress and all but-" He did not get the rest out because a scene was playing in his mind. A man was standing inside a train station looking like he was waiting for someone when a woman came over.
"I came to say goodbye" The man said. The woman who looked exactly like the woman from his earlier vision said, "I am going to do it, but before i leave I have something I want to ask of you." The man looked at her with confidence and said, "Of course, what do you want?" "Leave Ruby out of this" The woman said almost pleadingly. "I am doing this so that she can have a chance at a happy future and we both know that you are dangerous to be around, nothing against you but a child needs safety."
The man looked devastate for a split second then the look went away. "She has the silver eyes, we need to protect her and guide her in how to use them." "No, you need to leave her alone. Promise me or I will not go on this mission for you." The man looked pained, like he was deciding whose interest was more important, then he said, "Fine, I promise" The woman looked relieved then a bell rung.
"I have to go now." The woman said turning to leave. For a second the man looked sad then disappointed, then turned without saying goodbye. "You are too good for Tai." he said under his breath.
My room came back again and the voice said, "Does that answer your question?" To which i responded. "Yeah." I was so surprised. This woman sacrificed everything for a brighter future for her daughter. "Fine, I will go" He said.
"Oscar, come down here and eat your dinner, now!" Came the angry voice of his aunt. "Right after dinner, I mean." He said. "This will be your last calm meal for a while, enjoy it." The voice in his head said then left, leaving him alone to have one final dinner with his aunt.
