Living A Fantasy

chapter 12

" wait a minute, if you got me here and you say it's dangerous. If I die then you die, why will you take me here if there is a risk of you dying " Damon asked now swimming next to her with a serious tone.

He had a serious and straight face displayed, he waited for her answer patiently. " who said anything about dying and I am no fool to put myself in danger just to get rid of you, I can do that in a snap of my figures " Aqua stated while as a scoff released from her mouth. " there is no denying in that, but what are we doing here if no one dares to enter this place? " Damon questioned again making Aqua stop and look at him with a pleasing smile. Damon was not sure what she meant by that smile, she stood in front of a big round gate with bars big and thick enough to hold gigantic creatures.

" what are we doing here, there is nothing here really, I was worried for nothing. " Damon said with relief and signed thanking God internally. Aqua observes his reaction, she gives him an evil smile before heading to a bell next to the big gate. She rang the bell creating a loud noise that could probably be heard miles away. Damon gave her a puzzled look and was about to turn around to leave but stopped abruptly, his jaw wide opened him gaping by looking at the creature in front of him swimming towards the gate.

While Damon was busy with his
' little ' creature there was another bunch of things which had to be solved and figured. There was chaos on the land itself.

I was at the dock still figuring out the possibilities and there was no clue, they had searched all day and it was 7 in the evening. Rick had brought a lot of people to investigate through his connections and money and to my surprise Philip had also been doing his part of work too. He was worried very much but didn't show them, he was always bad at expressing his feelings. I had not eaten anything after I had left my house and, to be honest, I wasn't hungry I was just worried. Rick insisted that I should head back home since we all had a long day, we had a tiny conversation before we bid goodbyes.

I head straight home, made myself a coffee and a sandwich after taking a shower, boy was I sweaty and the shower was so relaxing and soothing for my tensed muscles. I took what I had prepared for me, my so-called dinner and sat at my desk and continued with work. I was still looking at the footages and the tiny streams this sea produces and where it lead to. I ended up staying up all night with twelve cups of coffee and tired eyes. I had got a text from Philip saying that there they had figured out something and I should head there right now.

I was super excited when I read the text, I was hoping it would give us a lead or something. I asked him to send the location and told him that I will arrive within an hour, I rushed to the bathroom. Cleaned up, grabbed the first thing I saw in the closet and took my belongings with a cup of coffee and drove my car to my destination. I got off at his father's company and headed to the twentieth floors as Philip had informed me, I knocked on the door and went in when I heard a tiny 'come in', I looked around to find Philip signalling me to the seat next to him.

I went and sat next to him without hesitation and with that they started the meeting, informing us that they had found all the tiny sea routes the sea had formed. They had also found the possible places he could have floated off to. We thought of all possibilities we could reach out and get this done quick, the meeting was about six to seven hours and it had drained all their energy. I was tired, exhausted, dehydrated and lacked sleep but I just couldn't stop thinking about saving Damon. When I was about to leave for home and do some more digging, Philip had stopped by coming calling my name. " so you're leaving for the day huh " he asked while coming to a halt in front of me, I nodded looking at him with tiredness written all over my face.

I had not slept for two days, the night Damon vanished I couldn't put myself to sleep due to all the thoughts running in my head. " you need your rest, you look tired and that's not good for you. You need to be healthy if you gotta find him if somethings disturbing you text me or call me " Philip stated with eyes full of sincerity which had bought a tiny smile on my face. I told him I will and that he doesn't have to worry much and that he should be getting back to work. We bid goodbyes and headed our different paths.

I reached home and took a quick shower and decided to eat something other than a sandwich or a salad with coffee. I did have my dinner and headed straight to my laptop continuing my work from today's morning. I ended up in front of my laptop till four in the morning and was tired but at the same time restless, this wouldn't do me good so I decided to sleep. I relaxed my paining muscles on my bed mattress and closed my eyes and drifted away to my dreamland. I had tossed and turned around in my bed contemplating whether I should sleep but after a few minutes, I slept.

I had woken up sweating, breathing heavily, my hair sticking to my forehead and feeling hot. It was the same nightmare, I thought it had stopped but looked like my brain ain't letting that incident go. My heart was racing, I calmed myself first by drinking water and signed that it was just a dream. I looked at the time, it was seven in the morning, that should be enough sleep thinking that I head out to my bathroom to take a shower a get rid of this sweat from my face. The whole time I was thinking about my dream, it's always the same nightmare I am in it but I don't remember one bit of the incident.

I got out and got ready ate my breakfast as soon as I could and headed to Philips house cause I think I got a lead, I have been their plenty of times so I didn't bother to call. I pulled up my car in the drive-through and rang the doorbell for his wife aka daisy opened the door with an annoyed face, looks like she was asleep. I greeted her morning and asked if Philip was there, before she could answer Philip came to the door and asked me to come in. I got in the house and took a seat on the sofa waiting for him to come from the kitchen.

He entered the living room with two cups of coffee and sat beside me, well daisy went back to their room after giving me few death glares. " okay so, what happened " Philip asked like it was obvious, " what do you mean. Anyway, forget that I think I know where Damon is if he is not found near the banks of the rivers " I stated with full determination, I know he won't buy it cause it's ridiculous to sound even for me but I think I have to sell it to him wisely. Philip looked at me for a second but he nodded indicating me to go on with the thing I was hesitating to say.

" I got my nightmares again, and I think there is a connection between my nightmares and Damon being missing, " I told him as fast as I could like removing a bandaid. He took time to put the words together and when he did he gave me a worried and a startled look. " you got your nightmares back, when did it happen. Are you okay now? What did you dream of anyway if you don't mind me asking " Philip bombarded me with worrisome questions.Well you all must me wondering how Philip knows about my nightmare, well lets go back in time shall we?
