Chap 2
I was sitting in the back of a plane. Looking around, I saw a bunch of gaurdians, and closer to the front sat my parents. I knew right then, that this was one of my nightmares. I started screaming, hoping that in real life, I would react so that someone would wake me up. Sure enough, someone was shaking me awake. I opened my eyes to see jade green ones staring at me with pain and fear in them.
"Rose?" Andre asked uncertainly.
"Are you OK? Right then, I started crying. Andre wrapped his arms around me and I cried into his shoulder. I heard footsteps running down the aisle and suddenly, Mason was in front of me.
"Rose, what's wrong? Was it another one of the dreams?" Mason asked me. I just nodded. He tried to take me from Andre's arms but I held on. Right now, for some reason, I needed Andre. I figured he would understand. Just then I saw Mason glaring at the fact that Andre still had his arms wrapped around me. I have always known that Mason likes me and I had tried but I just diddn't feel the same way. But right now I realized Mason more than just liked me, he loves me. That makes me feel really guilty about not being able to return his feelings.
"I'll be right back," Mason told me gently. Then with another glare for Andre, he left.
"Wow. I thought Mason and I were pretty good friends." Andre told me after Mason had left.
"I think he's just jealous," I explained to him. We stopped talking them because Mason had returned with a bottle of water and Lissa. He handed me the bottle.
"Drink," He ordered, but my hands were still shaking so badly I could barely hold the bottle, let alone open it. Andre took the bottle and opened it. He then guided it to my lips and I took a drink. I turned my head slightly and he took the bottle away and recapped it. H e then tucked some of my hair behind my ear. I smiled at him. I saw Lissa smile too, glad he was being so kind and gentle. Mason. Well Mason just continued to glare at Andre. I loked at Lissa and smiled. She wasn't fooled though.
"It was another one of your dreams again, wasn't it?' She asked. I nodded. Andre got up and gave his sister his seat. He sat on the armrest of my seat, still holding my hand. Lissa was holding the onther one.
"It was just a dream Rose, only a dream." Her voice was soft and soothing, it helped me calm down. I saw Mason relax slightly now that I was calm, but I could still see some tension. Probably because Andre's around. While I was thinking I got an amazing idea.
"Liss?" I asked.
"Ya?" She asked kindly.
"Would you use ompulsion on me so I stop having the dreams?" I asked her.
"We can try, but remember Rose, since you're a Spirit user too, it wont last as long and your own compulsion will try to fight it," She told me. I nodded. She looked me in the eye and started talking in a soft voice. I could hardly hear what she was saying, all I knew was that the leftover memories from the old dreams were fading. Just like that it was done.
"Thanks," I said softly. She just smiled. I knew that no matter what she would have done that for me, just like I would do it for her. I then noticed that sometime during the compulsion, Eddie had joined us. He was probably wondering why she had been using it. The pilot came over the intercom, then, telling us that we would be landing soon, and to return to our seats. Lissa and I got up to head back to our own seats. I smiled and thanked Andre then went to the back of the plane with Lissa. Eddie and Mason followed us, stopping at their own seats.
The plane touched down shortly afterwards. I was slightly scared to be going back to Vlad's. This would be my first day back since my parents died at the beginning of the summer. I felt bad enough about their deaths without others sucking up saying they're sorry when they probably aren't. It was almost like Lissa sensed what I was thinking.
"Don't worry, Rose." She told me.
"You have me, Andre, and the King on your side. It will be okay." For some reason, even though I already knew that, hearing her say it made me feel at lot better about getting off the plane.
