You Are My Soulmate!

Chapter 11

It was dark and cold as always. When Hope felt his warmth she didn't run away this time, she headed to his direction. Nothing seemed to be different, but she knew Penelope was with her. She said she would see and feel everything Hope did. She saw his burning brightness and she followed the light. She missed him. She was hesitant to turn to her human form, to talk to him but the more Penelope saw, the easier it was to figure out how to stop the dreams. But she didn't want to stop now. How would she live without these dreams? How could she live without him? She had no other choice and once the dreams vanished it'd be easier.

She reached him, she looked up at his burning eyes. She could swear she felt the same emotions radiating off him as hers. But it was just in her imaginations. Landon didn't love her. Hope slowly turned to her human form, then Landon hid his burning wings. She stood up to her two feet staring into his eyes, but keeping an arms length distance between the two of them.

"I've missed you." Landon whispered quietly and took a step closer to her. Hope shivered at his words and stepped backwards to keep distance.

"You can't say things like that to me." She replied firmly, trying hard not to give in to her intense feelings for him.

Suddenly a blinding light flashed across the darkness. It was so bright all of a sudden that Hope had to close her eyes to adjust to the light.

"What's going on?" Landon asked in a worried tone. "It supposed to be dark in here, this never happened." He added. Hope had no idea what was going on but the one change in the dream was Penelope lurking around, so the light might be something she did. She mentioned to Hope that she can change the dreams, although she said she wouldn't.

Hope opened her eyes slowly. It was light everywhere. The surrounding was a huge open space and there was nothing around, the only difference was that the dark blackness turned to light. She saw Landon standing in front of her. She looked into his eyes and in the light it turned back to its beautiful green color. He was so handsome like that as they were looking at each other. He was looking at her, even staring but not in her eyes. Suddenly Hope was very much aware that she was completely naked after she turned to her human form. She could feel herself blushing and she tried to cover her private parts with her hands.

"Do you mind?" She yelled at Landon, to at least turn around, but he was still staring. He was staring at her chest and Hope started to get angry... she tried to cover her breasts then she noticed he was looking at her mark above her beating heart. "Give me your shirt!" Hope yelled at him again.

"What?" He asked her confused and his eyes finally left her body and met her blue ones.

"Your shirt! Take it off and give it to me. I feel really exposed over here." He nodded then took his shirt off and handed it to Hope. She quickly put it on and thankfully it was long enough to cover everything that needed to be covered. She felt more comfortable. Hope looked at him but now, it was her who couldn't take her eyes off his chest. There it was. The same exact mark as hers. She knew of course that he had the same soulmate mark, he was her soulmate after all, but seeing her mark on Landon still seemed so unreal. It looked really beautiful on him. She couldn't help but feel even more drawn to him. Hope looked up in his eyes. He looked confused but he smiled at her when she looked at him.

"I don't understand what's happening." Landon said out loud.

"It's probably just the witch... you don't have to worry about it. Someone is trying to help me figure out how to stop these stupid nightmares every night." Hope replied but she saw him getting more confused. Of course, he didn't believe Hope was real, and Hope wasn't going to force her truth on him. He's choice was clear, maybe it was better for him if he didn't know Hope was really his soulmate. It would be much more devastating for Hope to see him disappointed in real life too.
