Chapter 5

That night I felt the familiar pull of one of Adrian's visits. This time I was on a beach. This time I was what looked to be an island. This time I was wearing a spaghetti strapped red summer dress. This time the eye on my neck on a silver chain.

" I need to talk to you."

"What is it and why didn't you ask me when we were awake."

" My dear aunt has eyes and ears everywhere."

" So what do you want?"

" I want to learn how to fight without magic." I thought it over,

" Fine how are we going to train, like you said eyes and ears everywhere."

" We'll train in our dreams." I sighed, " Okay, has anyone ever told you you're a pain in the butt."

" It's one of my best qualities." I rolled my eyes

"Can I get back to my own dreams?"

" Of course." I felt myself go back to the darkness of my regular sleep.

I woke up to a loud 'why' in my head. It was Lissa and she was angry. 'You can't do this you're my friend. Please come talk to me.' I could feel her anger growing and I was getting a real headache from it.

Next thing I know there was a knock on the door. I walked past Adrian's room, to the main room and to the front door. I answered it, it was Ethan. "Lissa wants to speak with you."

" I know." I said rubbing my forehead. " I don't want to speak with her right now though."

" Why?"

" I can't tell you. Now go back to her and tell her what I said."

" She'll kill me." I felt myself flinch but replied " I'll visit your grave then." I closed the door. Adrian walked out with a black sweatshirt on and jeans, yawing and rubbing his eyes.

" Who was that?"

" Ethan."

"Why was he here."

"Lisa---" I didn't get to finish my sentence suddenly I felt like my head had been split open and I screamed in pain. It was Lissa I was in her mind, she was pacing apparently Ethan had told her what I had said.

" She didn't give you a reason." Ethan shook his head " Fine if you won't get answers from her I will." Ethan grabbed her wrist but she shook it off with a strength I didn't think she had. She slammed and headed for my room.
