I could feel my chest rise and fall frantically and my breathing was practically escaping my mouth in small explosions.
This scene didn't look familiar but sounded familiar. It was the same place my mother came to safe my father, only this time the sky was so dark it was black. I couldn't see any stars. The only thing that lit up the square was the lights from the fountain.
If I closed my eye's the noise was the falling water reminded me of my stream, of home and of the dream I had just woken from.
"Follow me in. I will go and tell the others you are coming." Heidi said before she ran off at an inhuman speed.
I could just about find the energy to walk. I thought when you sleep your body relaxes, well that dream just made me so tense I felt like I was about to crack.
Demetri wasn't handling like precious cargo anymore. Now, he was just standing way too close for my comfort.
"Will you calm down." He stopped to look at me, half laughing. "You heart is doing triple flips in there. You will give yourself a heart attack."
"Not a bad idea." I spat. "I would be better off dead."
"Come on." He breathed waving his hand, ignoring my last comment.
But I couldn't stop my pulse from practically beating out of my skin. Every step I took closer in the square, I knew it was a step closer to the Volturi and my head began to spin with the thought of it.
"Whoa." I felt a cold grip around my waist. "You want to sit down for a minute?"
"No I am fine." I said, harshly, brushing his hand away from me.
"You are going to sit down for a minute." This time it wasn't a question, it was more of a statement. "I don't want to bring you in to meet everyone looking like you are ready yo collapse. Take a few moments." He said leading me to the edge of the fountain.
I glared at him for a moment and with a loud huff I reluctantly sat down.
I leaned over and put my head in my hands so he wouldn't be able to see the tears. Then, I closed my eye's and listened to the water. I was right it did sound like home.
"What happened back at the car?" He asked after a few minutes silence. I appreciated that about him. I knew he knew I was crying but he never said anything, he just let me be.
I sat up, taking in a lung full and fresh air and wiped away the moisture that was sliding down my cheeks.
"I had a weird dream, that's all." I explained.
"A dream?" He exclaimed.
Then, I remembered, he doesn't even sleep never mind dream.
"Yes dream, Demetri." I laughed.
"What was it about?" He asked, sounding truly intrigued.
"Oh nothing." I said dismissing the question.
"Come on, you have to tell me now."
"Ok." I said once again giving in. I pressed my palm against his hand.
"What are you doing?" He jumped.
"Showing you my dream." I explained, laughing at his reaction.
He seemed to relax after that. So I tried again, I pressed my palm against his hand and watched as the images of the dream transferred into his mind. The stream, what Jacob said and waking up to him.
For a moment he stared at me with a blank expression, probably getting used to my power.
"See told you to trust me." He nudged me playfully but he sounded serious.
"Hey, don't get your hopes up. It was only a dream it doesn't mean I am going to trust you." I pointed at him.
"Still, it is a start." He smiled. " And you have to start somewhere. A dream will do just fine for me. So just trust me in there. You don't always have to be on your own, you are going to need someone." He nodded.
"So is there anyone I need to watch out for?" I asked.
"Not really, you will be part of this family now and just like you were with yours, we all look out for each other. They all look scary at the beginning but you will get used to them." He smiled. "There is no need for you to be scared. Believe me, they will treat you like royalty. They have been warned to treat you with respect."
"Warned?" I asked.
"Yes, Aro told them before he left. And nobody steps out of line when it comes to Aro or any of the Volturi leaders for that matter. They have a plan for you, they are not going to let anyone get in the way of that." He told me.
"Heidi said something about that on the plane. Something about the rest of the plan. What did she mean? I thought they were done with playing games with me." I cried.
"We will cross that bridge when we come to it, I promise you that. But for now, we are going to take one step at a time." He smiled gently. I couldn't help but notice the way he said "we" and not just me on my own. "Ok, I hate to do this to you but we better get going. They will think I ran away with you." He laughed, standing up.
"Oh please do." I begged, pouting.
"Yeah, am, that face doesn't work on me. Actually you are scaring me." He laughed and I joined in. "We will work on your faces and see which one does actually work, just don't use that one." He smiled.
I took in one big deep breath before I stood up.
Before I knew it we were walking through the square again, my breathing becoming frantic and my pulse racing just like before.
I was about to enter my new home, my new life and I was scared as hell to find out what it had in store for me.
Hey everyone, sorry the chapter is so short but this is just a filler chapter because I haven't updated in so long. Sorry about that by the way.
Hope you like it.
