Chapter 14 – Nacht Murist
(Nightmares)
I was in the middle of the Centrum, the fountain of wine flowing behind me making the only sound. Hundreds of people surrounded me, all people of Liore, all with horrified looks on their faces. Their fear filled my nostrils and was wondering why they were so terrified of me. Their minds were screaming murder. When I looked down, I saw why.
There, below me, lay an unconscious Edward, blood coming out of two pinpoints in his neck. He looked at me with blank eyes, but, they weren't the normal golden color I adored, they were black as a Vampire. No beautiful golden irises, but full black eyes with a red tint. No white showed. They were pure blood-black. I gasped and took a step back, and screamed in pain as a blade pierced my lower back, cutting through my chest. I looked, and saw it was Envy, who had morphed his hand into a blade, and had thrust it into my body. Hatred and evil burned his eyes, as I fell to the ground.
"Traitor…" he growled, and disappeared, just like that. How it was possible for him to do that, I did not know, but, there was only one explanation to it. Black Blood Magic. I rolled on my back, gasping for breathe as I felt Death come to take me. I could see him, with his black hood, his bony hands gently grasping my own, but it turned away from me, then ran. Why is Death doing this? I asked myself. Death never ran, and when I saw never, I mean never runs away from his prey.
I looked to where he looked, and gasped. Edward was standing; his eyes back to their golden color, just the outside of them was the pure black of a Vampire. But, why did I transform in the first place? Pain busted through my body, and I looked at my hands slightly before I took in the last deep and painful breath.
I felt someone's light touch on my face, and looked who had grazed my face. Edward looked down on me with eyes filled with pain and worry, but they were human. No black Blood filled out behind his golden irises. "Are you Ok?" he asked. I nodded slightly, and used my arm to dry the tear that slid down my face. "you were crying in your sleep."
"I was?" I asked, actually, not surprised. These nightmares were coming more and more frequent, and they were starting to get annoying. Every night, there was something different, a different place, different people, but, the thing is, is that they always had Edward in them, and I had always transformed him…and then Envy's evil and dark look in his eyes. "Did I wake you?"
"No, I have been awake for quite some time, but, I was watching you toss and turn in your sleep. You began to frighten me. You sure you're ok?" I smiled slightly and nodded. He was watching over me? Why? And why do I feel so happy when I am around Edward now? Why do I feel as though if he transformed into my breed, I would die inside of me, even though my physical body wouldn't allow me to go on to the afterlife? What is this feeling that I feel whenever I am around him, that feeling of confidence and power? Why was I asking myself so many questions on Edward?
I shook my head and turned back to him. "Just a nightmare. A simple nightmare that I know will never come true when I am alive on this earth."
