Aaaahhh!! I'm so excited! I mean, I haven't updated since--GOD, it's been so long! Sorry I took so darn long to update. I'm having my FINALS and it's a very important time for me but I can't believe I'm actually siting here typing stories. I must be out of my mind. But anyways, this is a REALLY REALLY short chapter. Don't expect much out of it. I didn't have much time to write. So here is a new chapter for you all! SOrry for the long wait! Just to let you all know, I'll be back updating more and more chapters as soon as my FINALS are over which is during December...damn, that's a long time, isn't it? Well, tell me what you all think of this VERY short chapter...is it cliff-hanging? *laughs*
Chapter 11: The Future
It's cold.
I opened my eyes slowly and saw only darkness. I sat up slowly and felt the cold tiles beneath me. I looked around and groaned as soon as I came to realize that I am in the same dream as I was a few nights ago. I'm in the same long room and the dimly lit candles still floats in mid-air. The floor tiles are still of the same color; white and black, like of a chessboard.
I stared into the endless darkness and saw a slight sparkle of light. This time however, the feeling of this dream was different from the last. Like a magnet, I was drawn to what stood at the far end of the room. And even though I knew what will happen in the end, I still went.
This time I didn't have to suffer from the miserable chest pain to see my other me; the one with the glorious long silky blood red hair and the fiery red eyes, standing in the mirror looking right at me. I stopped a few feet away from the mirror so I could prepare myself for a run if she were to pounce out again and tear my throat out. She smiled a seductive smile and beckoned me to walk closer. I shook my head.
Uh-huh, no thanks.
My twin in the mirror shrugged and as if I'm watching a horror ghost film, she pulled herself out of the mirror and climbed out of it. She gracefully glided towards me and even though my mind screamed for me to run, my legs couldn't move. So I was stuck standing there staring face to face with the prettier version of me.
She raised a finger and pointed at something behind me. I looked behind, even when it was never a wise decision to turn your back against a vampire.
A huge gust of wind and we were brought to a different scene.
I looked around and even though it was snowing, I felt no cold. Everywhere was covered in snow. The trees were just blurry black figures at the background. Then I heard it; the sound of someone crying.
A man with his back facing me was kneeling on the floor cradling a woman with both of his arms and sobbing uncontrollably. His long black hair that reaches his shoulders was long messed up by the wind, his coat torn and tattered as if he just came out of a fight. From my view, I could not see the face of the woman lying limp in his arms. The only clue to if she was a woman was her long blood red hair that cascade down onto the white snow beneath. Her beautiful red hair looked like a pool of blood on the white snow.
The man's moaning was so sorrowful that even the coldest heart would cry.
…Adele…
I looked up at the figure standing beside the man. My twin smiled at me and beckoned me to come closer, to look. I have to admit that I'm curious to as why she would show me this picture so I walked closer. My feet seem to sink deeper into the snow with each step I took. Somehow another part of me was refusing to see who were the man and the woman in his arms.
I stopped in my tracks.
Something about this man is familiar…
I backed away. Something is telling me that I shouldn't be seeing this…
She was right in front of me before I could blink. Before I could say anything, she moved aside and my breath got stuck in my throat. I shook my head, the word 'no' kept playing in my head….no wonder my instinct was telling me to back away…
The long haired man was the man I haven't seen for ages—
"Julian."
He looked up at me, his eyes an eerily green and by looking up, the view of the lady in his arms is no longer blocked.
"Oh-my-God…" I took a step back. I recognize the lady immediately. She wasn't that hard to recognize actually, with her long red hair and hazel-brown eyes that have lost their light.
She is, after all.
Me.
I know I'm evil. You all can throw rocks at me. See you all in December!
