Ok, so I may have just exaggerated when I said it was super long and I'm sorry. God, I've been apologising a lot lately. I do hope you have enjoyed it so far and you still have followed through until here, I would love to hear your thoughts about it so if any of you have any ideas on how to improve them, that would be great. Thanks.
Daniel doesn't take me to his dorm like we usually do, instead he drives past campus and out of the gates.
"Where are we going?" I ask, looking out of the window.
"You'll see." He says, not taking his eyes off the road. I shift in my seat.
"What's with all the mystery today? It's so unlike you." But so sexy, I add in my mind.
"I found something I need to show you." He continues to keep up his charade.
"What is it?" I ask, now officially filled with curiosity.
"A cruel joke, I think. If not, then I don't know." Now his face has turned hard and his brows are set low above his eyes.
I can't say anymore so I just stare out the window. 5 minutes later, we arrive at a cemetery. "Daniel, what are we doing here?"
"You need to see this." He says and jumps the wall and opens the gate from the other side.
"What the hell? Daniel, you're scaring me." I say, edging my way back towards the car like he was crazy. But somewhere deep inside, I want - screw that, need - to follow him.
"Well then maybe I shouldn't have brought you here because this will scare you."
He opens the the gates and pulls me inside before closing them again. He takes my hand and drags me towards the gravestones. "Look." He says, pointing to the 2 graves in front of us and I gasp.
"Here lies Lucinda Price. Born 1997, died 2009. Daughter, girlfriend, best friend and friend. Buried next to her boyfriend. R.I.P." I say aloud and turn to look at the one Daniel is looking at.
"Here lies Daniel Grigori. Born 1997, died 2009. Son, boyfriend, best friend and friend. Buried next to his girlfriend. R.I.P." He says after me. "Coincidence?" He asks and looks at me. "I don't think so."
"I don't get it. So these are the same first names as ours - so what?"
"Luce, don't you get it? They were us. We are them. You're dreams are starting to make sense now. It was you and me from a different lifetime."
"Now I think about it, it does make sense." Whilst saying that sentence, I try to come up with an alternative.
"So do you -?"
"Luce?" A voice from behind makes me and Daniel spin around, fast. "Daniel?"
We are face to face with a blonde woman - maybe 35 - and she look shocked. Like she'd seen a ghost, shocked.
"I'm sorry, but who are you?" I ask taking a step towards Daniel.
"Luce, it's me, Callie. Don't you remember?" She says, sounding hurt.
"I've never seen you before in my life." I reply as Daniel puts a protective hand around my waist.
"Oh yes, they said you wouldn't remember." Callie smiles. "But it was great to see you two again. I always knew you'd find each other."
"Who said we won't remember what?" Daniel replies, stepping in front of me.
"Oh no, I've said too much!" She shrieks and quickly puts her hands to her mouth.
I squint and imagine her younger. Yes, she does look familiar, my mind whispers.
"Actually..." I drag out and take a step closer so I can see her better. "I do think we have met before but when you were younger. About my age, correct?" She gives a slight nod and an image appears in my mind of me and her - at the age of 17, out side somebody's house with Daniel and the people from my dreams. Someone - I think Daniel - is on the floor and crying or trying to pull his hair out and everyone, including Callie, is standing around him with a look of sympathy on their faces. Speaking about faces, theirs are still blurred but not as much as my dreams. Ll of a sudden the images come to life and noise fills my head.
"You don't know what your doing Luce!" The boy with the dreadlocked hair shouted to me. "It could take you anywhere."
I looked as if I was about ready to jump into a black shadowy thing behind me when a voice rang out that made me melt a little inside. "What are you doing?" Daniel's voice rang loud and clear. He seemed somewhat happy, frightened and anxious all at the same time.
I stepped forward and called over my shoulder, "Guess I'll just have to figure it out."
Turning back around, I caught a glimpse of Daniel running after me before I waved goodbye and jumped into the black, disfigured shadow in front of me.
I jerk back into the present and Daniel instantly reaches for me.
"Luce, are you ok? What happened? Do you know her? Are you sure your not hurt?" He bombards me with questions whilst I turn to Callie.
"You!" I point a finger at her, wanting to know explanation. But Callie runs off - quite fast for a 30 odd year old woman - and me and Daniel are left looking down they path that she fled towards.
