Hi guys! This is the chapter I was most excited to share with you all, ever since I started this story! Hope you enjoy it :D
Some clarifications: this chapter is in W's POV and it's a bit shorter than the others because, as I explained before, chapter 20 and 21 were originally a single chapter that got cut in half to make some structural changes

Chapter 21: The first dream
After dinner is over and a little celebration toast is shared in honor of Yuuri we made our way to our room and Yuuri throws himself into the bed, looking exhausted. I think he hasn't been getting a lot of sleep lately, but now he seems more relaxed. I bet he was freaking out about me meeting Greta, I think I would have been too, being a parent is not something I would picture myself doing so soon, but the little girl is just adorable. She has those beautiful brown eyes that make you want to just say yes to everything she asks, and she's quite smart too. I don't know if I have the right, but I feel really proud of her as a parent.
"Yuuri, put on you pajamas before falling asleep" I say and Yuuri stands up like a zombie and walks to the dresser. I suppress my laughs and go to the bathroom to get changed, when I come out Yuuri is already out for the day. He looks so peaceful and beautiful I want to just kiss him... I mean... well...
I'm just hopeless aren't I? How come I fell for this guy in only a few weeks... maybe it has something to do with my past memories coming back? I really don't think so though...
I get under the covers and exhaustion quickly starts to put its weight on me...
~ O ~
I can hear the whistling again. Is this a room or am I in the middle of a forest? I just can't tell, it's too dark for me to see even myself...
I stand up and run, run trying to find a way out, trying to find a light, but it's useless, around me there's only darkness, and this sound won't leave me alone. That voice that sounds so familiar but so threatening, a woman, a mother maybe? I feel her voice has a power over me, a power I can't reject, I feel drawn to her, to her voice.
But I don't want to leave, I don't want to go, I want to stay, why do I feel this woman can't take me away? I'm desperate and only one name comes to my mind, only one name could save me...
"Yuuri!" my shout echoes in the invisible walls and I hear something breaking, suddenly there's a light on top of me, a red and golden light that shines like nothing I've ever seen
"He's mine"
A soft voice comes from the light. It's not angry, it's not dangerous like the woman's voice, but just as familiar. I come closer and try to reach it. There's someone there, he's smiling so sadly it makes my heart ache. Tears start running down my face as I walk away from the warmth of the light. My back hits a wall and I fall to the cold floor.
The light becomes brighter and warmer, and it reaches out to me, what would happen if I accept this embrace?
"Don't cry" he says and his feet touch the ground. I can see his eyes for the first time... those eyes... that fire... I know him... I know who that person is... he's the owner of Yuuri's heart... and that person is not me...
He extends his hand for me to grab and I slap it away.
"Why!? Why can't he be mine!?"
"That question, only you can answer. Only you can take him away"
Purple smoke starts surrounding me and the light starts to fade. I feel something inside of me is crying.
"Take him away, make him yours..."
The smoke has become serpents and the the whistling has become hissing, they surround me, they cradle me, like a mother's embrace... but something's wrong isn't it? Somewhere something is breaking, somewhere someone is crying, somewhere... someone is dying.
The pain is almost unbearable... but I have already made my choice...
He'll be mine. I'll take him away from you.
I'm so sorry... Wolfram.

So now that little W understands who he really is, actually who he is not, what will happen? And what's with this motherly feeling he gets from the snake lady?
Anyone wants to take a wild guess? ;)
