‘’ok you two enough of that’’ my mum says clearing her throat
I pull back from john slightly so I can look into his eyes I touch my hand to his cheek and look at him for a moment everything else fades until all I see and hear is him.
‘’I never gave up my love, I wouldn’t give up on you I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love you’’ I say with a sigh and kiss his lips one last time as he is lowering me to the ground, when my feet touch the ground I break the kiss she slides his arm round my waist and I finally turn to my mum who is trying to look mad at us but she has a beaming smile on her face.
‘’ok you two let’s go in and get something to eat’’
She walks through the front down with me and john following slowly.
‘’are you ok sweetheart, and I mean really ok please don’t lie to me this past week’’ he sighs and a sob escapes him and I see a tear rolling down his face ‘’I thought I would never see you again and just thinking about someone hurting you I just’’ he broke off and the tears we rolling down his face now, I stop and turn to him resting my hand against his cheek.
‘’I won’t lie to you but I don’t know much, it’s just feelings I get, I just feel like something bad will happen again soon and it will be up to me to stop it, I feel like there is something I can’t run from I have to stand and fight and protect you all. Please don’t ask me any more questions I just don’t know my mind is a blank, but with you by my side I could make it through anything’’. I say with a smile
That doesn’t help love now I’m worried again but thanks for telling me the truth, it just means you have to put up with me 24/7 now’’ he says trying to laugh to ease the tension
‘’not a problem with me’’
We walk through the front door holding hands to see that my mum had somehow set up a feast of food, we both laughed and sat down to try and eat the mountain of food. After we had eaten as much as we could we went to my room snuggled on the bed and watched movies through the day and night, I feel so safe in johns arms I slowly drifted to sleep and that’s when the dream starts.
I’m in the most wonderful place a beautiful meadow, with wild flowers all around me, the sun shining down upon me and all I can feel is pure peace a feeling I haven’t had in a while I take a step forward on the soft green grass, I bare foot with a beautiful dress on, my dress is pure white with what looks like thousands of diamonds sparkling all over the front of my dress. It’s so beautiful I feel like a princess I think with a smile. I have never seen this place but it feels like home, I walk through the meadow and in front of me is a beautiful castle so white it almost shines. I walk through the front gates there are loads of people laughing and running around everywhere I look everyone is smiling with joy, couples are even dancing round with twirls and lifts, the lift are quite scary they throw them into the air and somehow the women do twirls and spins as there gliding down. They are wearing similar dresses to me and the men are in white suits but everyone looks comfortable so they must wear this sort of thing every day. I walk of the cobble stones passing people who just smile at me softly, in the middle of the people is a beautiful fountain with what looks like angles on the top with the water pouring out of jugs that there holding, children are sitting round the fountain, talking and laughing when all of a sudden a dark cloud starts to appear over the castle people start to look afraid instead of happy. People start to run in fear crying out in alarm, mothers picking up their children and running for shelter. I turn round to look at the darkness when people start to run out of it, I know something is wrong these people look so dark you can even see a dark cloud that seems to float around them. They raise their hands and it looks like electricity is flying out of the hands and hitting the people ripping through their bodies, they cry out in pain before they drop lifeless to the floor blood seeping out of there chest. I run towards them screaming no, trying to stop them from hurting these innocent people. The men just laugh at me but don’t attempt to attack me I feel strong arm’s circle round me from behind and I cry out in fear.
‘’no please let me go, why are you doing this’’ I demand
‘’my love our people will not hurt you, look at what our combined strength will accomplice, this is a vision of the future to come. I have to say I’m impressed’’ he says as he turns me in his arms to face him, but the darkness is so black round him I can’t make out what he looks like properly.
‘’why are you impressed with me I can’t even help these poor people’’
He laughs; it makes me shiver his laughter sounds so dark and evil.
‘’I’m impressed my love because I sent you back with no memoires of any of our worlds and yet in your subconscious you are looking into a possible future, you truly are powerful, your using your powers without even meaning to. I cannot wait for you to come home and become our true queen’’
I back away from this evil man not truly believing what he is saying to me, it can’t be true I would never be with this man. I hear an explosion from behind I turn with a gasp as I see the beautiful castle crumbling all around me fires spreading from every corner that I look from, people lying dead on the floor their eyes filled with horror, I back away tears rolling down my face.
‘’I will never help you do this, never’’ I say as I start to run
‘’you don’t have a choice my love, your my wife’’ he says his laughter all around me. I start to scream noooooo
That’s how I remember waking up and scaring john he’s holding me trying to comfort me but I have seen such horror I can’t escape the looks of death and pain, just before I pass out I remember looking at john and saying please god help me.
‘’Isabel please wake up what’s wrong?’’ john starts to shake Isabel hoping to wake her but nothing is working, he starts to panic.
‘’Lynn please help me’’ he screams sat the top of his voice
‘’what’s wrong’’ Lynn asks as she rushes into the room
‘’I don’t know she was having a nightmare she kept crying out, I finally managed to wake her up she looked at me and Lynn I have never seen someone look so afraid she asked god to help her, what do we do’’ he asks Lynn
Lynn rushes over to the bed and lays a hand on Isabel’s face.
‘’I have no idea, please Isabel hunny open your eyes’’
I’m floating round in darkness but I’m not scared I feel at peace when I hear my mums voice through the fog of darkness I’m in, she’s begging me to wake up I don’t want to but she sounds so afraid. I start to feel myself opening my eyes and when I do john and my mum are looking at me looking scared and concerned.
‘’I’m ok’’ I say
‘’what the hell was all that about love you scared ten years off my life’’ he demands now starting to look a bit angry
‘’it was nothing just a bad dream’’ I say looking away from them, afraid that they would be able to see the fear in my face.
‘’it didn’t seem to be just a bad dream you were scared when I woke you up.’’
‘’it’s nothing seriously I’m fine; there is no need to worry. It’s just probable from the stress of today. I say trying to keep my voice level as I lie to them, I hear my mum breathe out in a long sigh
‘’ok sweetheart I’m going back to bed, if you need anything just come to me ok’’ my mum says as she kisses the top of my head and walks out of my room.
‘’ok you’re going to tell me the truth I have never seen you look like that before, did you remember something’’ john demands off me pacing up and down in front of my bed I can tell from his expression that he’s not going to let it go.
‘’no john I haven’t remembered anything it was just …’’ I trail off as his face flashes through my mind, and I know for certain that he is the reason I remember nothing, he did something to me.
‘’Isabel you were saying, come on remember no lie’s between us’’
I sigh ‘’ok john, I may have remembered something but it�
��s not going to help’’ I say in defeat
‘’tell me’’
‘’what is it?’’
‘’I have remembered someone who I think is responsible for my memory lose’’ I say looking up at him to see his expression, and just like I thought he looks almost dangerous, he looks so fierce.
‘’ who is it Isabel’’ he demands, his voice so tight as if he is trying to hold the anger in
‘’I don’t know john, I’m sorry but even if I did I wouldn’t tell you, I’’
‘’what the hell do you mean you wouldn’t tell’’ john demands and somehow starts to look angrier.
I look at john and sigh softly ‘’ you don’t understand I love you so much’’ I tell him with tears in my eyes ‘’ I don’t know why but deep inside of me I know I must protect you all, I don’t know why but all I do know is that none of you can help me, I look down and laugh sarcastically looking up at john I see so much worry and anger, there is nothing I can do to make that look leave him. I pull knees to my chest resting my hand in my lap.
‘’please Isabel just tell me what you dreamed of I can handle it; if you let me I can help you, please. He’s pleading so much I almost give in and tell him everything, his eyes looking into mine almost like he is looking into my soul.
I quickly stand up from the bed and start to pace wondering how I’m going to handle this; I feel so out of control. I turn round to face john looking him in the face knowing that what I’m about to say will hurt him.
‘’john I can’t I’m sorry I will never tell any of you what has happened to me something tells me none of you can know. I must fight this on my own it’s my battle’’. I say frustrated running my hands roughly through my hair. ‘’ no one can help me with the darkness I face every day, there is so much evil and I just pray I’m strong enough to fight it because I feel if I’m not all will be lost, I just need my memories back’’, a frown crosses my face as I think deeply and start to feel my courage return I turn to john walking up to him to cup his cheek with my hand. ‘’I’m sorry please except it john I have seen things that belong in nightmares but for me their real I must keep you safe I cannot bear to lose any of you please don’t fight me on this’’. I plead with him standing close to his face I finally give in and close the gap pressing my body tightly to his feeling his body tight against mine sends butterfly’s to my stomach, I breathe in his aftershave and feel so safe. ‘’ please sweetheart do this for me’’ I mumble into his chest hearing his heart beating so fast I know he is still mad and upset.
‘’Isabel I don’t understand what’s happening but I can see you are serious about not telling us and you truly believe it will keep us safe, I just don’t understand how this could have happened so quickly I will ask one more question and then I will never bring this up again I will just be there for you. These feelings you have; did it happen when you were taken or have you always felt this way. John asks stroking my hair gently I hesitate about telling him the truth, he is so scared for me and I never thought this would happen to us, but I must tell him the truth he deserves that because I’m broken now and I don’t even know how long it will take for me to be normal again.
No I don’t know how I know, but this has gone on for, well as long as I can remember it’s like a sense I’m having, that this is how it has always been’’ I snuggle my face into his chest tightly and close my eyes so I can’t see his expression.
I can hear john sigh over my answer ‘’ ok Isabel I won’t ask anymore but just so you know if any one try’s to hurt you while I’m around I will try to stop them no matter what’’. He says kissing my head ‘’come on let’s get back to bed and try to get some sleep’’, we walk back to the bed and lie down he snuggles me close to him stroking my hair and I eventually fall asleep feeling safe.
John lie’s still with Isabel not daring to move a muscle until eventually her breathing becomes deep a sign she has finally fallen asleep he kisses her head gently before sliding his body out from he’s and wrapping the cover tightly round her he walks to the chair to get his phone out his pocket. He scrolls through the phone until he finds his mother’s number, he signs a he sits in the chair hoping Isabel could forgive him because the truth of it is he is keeping a secret from her, one that could change how she feels about him. He puts the phone to his ear to make the call that could change everything.
‘’hello john you there?’’
‘’yes mum hey sorry about that was just thinking about things’’
‘’its ok son, how is she? Does she remember anything’’
‘’ohhh mum it’s so much worse than I thought it could ever be, before I say anything I need to know did dad and Gary find anything out about were Isabel wondered from’’.
‘’Ohhhh john I’m so sorry and that’s the strange thing, your dad and brother found nothing there were no scents at all not even Isabel’s and she is like family to us we know her scent’’
‘’wait your telling me even in wolf form they couldn’t find anything, how is that possible’’
‘’I don’t know son, but one thing your dad could tell me was he sensed evil, he said it was very powerful and that he has never sensed evil this way in his life, whoever took Isabel he is bad news and something tells me it’s not over’’.
‘’I want dad and Gary to patrol round Isabel’s house until we know she is safe’’.
‘’well off course son I take that to mean you still haven’t told her who you really are’’.
‘’she knows who I am mum’’
‘’I know sweetheart but this is a part of you she needs to know it’s nothing to be ashamed off you’re a shifter, all the stupid werewolves’ stories are just not true and you know it. You are not dangerous your just part wolf and Isabel needs to know about that part, and she needs to know soon you can protect her better if she knows.’’
‘’I know mum but the things she said to me Isabel knows what’s going on mum’’.
‘’what do you mean’’
‘’she had a nightmare tonight she convinced her mum it was nothing, but I have never heard anyone sound so afraid, after her mum left I asked her what really happened she tried to look me in the face to tell me it was just a bad dream, but I could tell she was lying. I made her tell me the truth, she told me she saw who took her in her dreams but she won’t tell me anything. She is protecting us she said if any of us got hurt because of what she has to face she would never forgive herself. You should have heard her mum she says it’s her battle and she hopes she is strong enough to beat the darkness, the worse thing is she says she knows it has been this way for a long time the feeling of protecting us all and fighting whatever this is on her own’’. John sighs with defeat his heart breaking for the one he loves ‘’I have no idea what to do mum’’.
There was silence on the phone for a moment before Susan john’s mum answered.
‘’this is bad sweetheart if what you are saying is right she has been fighting this evil for god knows how long, tell me you know Isabel better than anyone does she have a hint of any supernatural powers’’.
‘’what of course not mum I would have told you, why the hell ask me that, you know she is a mortal which is why we have been so careful.’’
‘’I know sweetheart but it doesn’t add up Isabel said herself she has been fighting them for as long as she can remember, and your dad said he has never felt such evil which means it’s an ancient one, why would they want a mortal. She has obviously been keeping secrets like us so she could have supernatural powers.
John sat there in shocked silence as he thought of what his mum had just said, it did actually make sense it seemed the time to tell Isabel everything had come at last.
‘’your right mum I’ll tell Isabel everything tomorrow night, I’ll even show her just in case she thinks I’m joking, prove to her I can protect myself so she can open up to me about what has happened. Let dad and Gary know what I’m planning to do’’.
‘’of cour
se sweetheart we support you, we have been telling you for a while to let her in on our secret after all she is your mate and ……’’
‘’mum what the hell’’
Susan laughed down the phone ‘’come on sweetheart did you really think we didn’t know, why else would we give our blessing to tell her about us, only your mate gets that honour’’.
John chuckles ‘’guess I was pretty stupid to think you guys wouldn’t know, ok mum I’m going to go now and get some sleep I’ll see you all tomorrow night after I have told Isabel night mum love you and thanks for everything’’
‘’love you to sweetheart sweet dreams’’
John put his phone down and out it back in his jeans pocket, he makes his way to the bed lying down gently next to Isabel who snuggles back into him breathing a soft sigh, and john hugs her close and falls asleep.
Chapter 6
I’m back at the beautiful castle my chest starts to feel tight as I look for the evil men I saw before, but there not here this time. I see a group of children and their glowing I step forward frowning wondering why there glowing when I realise it’s coming from the whole body but mainly from their hands like the evil men. I take a step back wondering if I have got it wrong and all of them are evil but they look so different where the evil men had a black glow, these children are pure white. I don’t know why but I just know that they are forces of good so I walk toward them once more; getting use to the fact we all look like princesses and princes from another time. I watch them controlling swirling balls of light hitting targets and cheering when they hit it. I watch with a smile and each child does something different all of them powerful put with different skills I make a mental note of all the powers its quite a list. I watch them foe about ten minutes from what I can tell there is electricity, fire, water, air, earth and I don’t even know how to describe the last one is like using all of your heart to create a blast so pure and white it blinds your eyes. I finally let my laugh slip out at seeing their joy, they all turn to me eyes wide before they all smile at me a child walks to me, he has bright blond hair cut short, with green eyes he looks to be about ten.
