I know I said I'd update them with a one day gap but I thought I'd upload all the chapters that I'd done so far onto it all at once then start working on the next few chapters. Sorry if I confused you.
"How about this one?" I ask and push the curtain aside so he can see the bright pink dress I chose.
"Hmmm," he considers, "No, I think you look better in the midnight blue one."
I let out a sigh of frustration and walk back into the changing rooms.
I pull the black, corset style dress off the hanger and slip it on. It comes down to my ankles and has 3 layers to the skirt. I turn and look at myself in the mirror and gasp. I have dajavou as I hold my hands in front of me. I think I have wore a dress similar to this before.
"Is everything ok in there?" Daniels voice rings loud and clear.
"Yeah, give me a sec." I say and push the curtain back. He starts to gape at me which causes me to blush. "Well?" I ask nervously.
"Definitely. Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe you." He replies and continues to run his gaze over me.
"But I don't think she'll appreciate everyone coming in black dresses - she said bright colours like pinks and oranges and lilacs and turquoises and yellows, not blacks." I say and make a start towards the changing rooms for the 11th time today. I look over all the dresses, and go with Daniels advice. I do think the midnight blue one did suit me rather well. I put all the other dresses back where they came from and purchase the blue one.
"I do think you looked amazing in that black dress, but you alone. I don't want to imagine anyone else wearing the exact same one when it is clearly made for you." Daniel says as he takes my free hand. "Why couldn't you buy that one as well?" He runs a thumb over the back of my hand and a jolt of electricity bolts up my arm, causing me to jerk my hand away.
"Did you feel that?" I ask and he stares at me with wide eyes. Frozen. "Daniel, are you ok?" I say and put a hand on his shoulder.
"I need to talk to you." He simply says and drags me off to a secluded corner of the mall.
"What?" I ask, my voice laced with concern.
He looks both ways to make sure no one is listening. "Images appeared in my head of us at some sort of school where everyone was wearing black when I touched your hand. It was like it was us but from a different time but I don't remember any of it taking place." He whispers and a chill runs down my spine.
"Like a flash back?" I say, remembering my dreams.
"Sort of. There was me, you, and 5 others - 2 guys and 3 girls." He says slowly like if he starts to panic, he'll go insane.
"Describe them to me." I reply quickly, needing confirmation that I wasn't having random dreams.
"What?" He asks, clearly confused.
"Describe them to me." I repeat, slower, so he can grasp it.
"Ok. Well, one of the boys had dreadlocks that were-" he starts.
"Black and gold." I finish.
"Yeah, how did you-"
"Carry on - I'll explain later." I cut him off.
"And the other boy had short, black hair. One of the girls had black hair, cut just below her ears, and the other girl had piercings on her face with half white and half black hair in a pixie cut. As for the other girl, she was smaller than the rest by an inch or 2 and she had long, curly, blonde hair."
I stand there, shocked at what I'm hearing. Those people are from my dreams - apart from those last 2 girls - but everything else is pretty accurate to be a coincidence.
"Those are the people from my dreams." I whisper to him and a look of shock crosses his face.
"Something's going on Luce. I feel like I've lived an entirely different life. First you're reoccurring dreams and now my flashback - it's all too much. They're definitely connected because you seem to have seen the exact same people I have and it can't be a coincidence." His words click something in my head and I feel as though a switch has been flicked on.
"I think we have lived a different life Daniel. In my dreams, we made a choice to - I think - forget everything so we could live a normal life. What I hope were our friends, seemed like they didn't want us to go. That night we met, when I snook out of the party to get fresh air, I remember instantly thinking that I knew you from somewhere and maybe I did. Just not in this life." My head starts to hurt really badly like I wasn't supposed to be thinking that. A flicker of pain crosses Daniels face and he puts his head into his hands just as I do. Just like the feeling of the switch being flicked on, I feel it being flicked off. I shake my head and look at Daniel perplexed. "Why are we over here? I thought we were going shopping for dresses." I ask Daniel and he mirrors my look of confusion.
"So did I." His gaze shifts to my hand and I follow his gaze to find a bag with a dress already in it. Did I get this? When?
"I think we already got it." I shake my head, "this is getting confusing, let's just go back to campus."
"Yes, I think we blanked out for a second. Anyway, we need to show Nora what dress we've chosen - though I admit I don't remember buying it - and classes start in 2 hours. You've got a physics test today and you need to revise." He says and pulls me back from my daydreaming.
"Yeah, revise." I echo, my mind miles away - trying to figure out who and what were causing my blackouts.
Oh the mystery! Haha. If you've read all the Fallen books, you might have an idea what's going on hear but for those of you who haven't, stay tuned :)
