The world unseen

chapter 17: the dream

Nova's pov

I arrive at my apartment and say goodbye to Della since she has to stay with the car. I go to my room and flop on my bed looking up at the ceiling.

So much has happened the past few weeks that not having anything going on felt boring. I close my eyes with a sigh. Usually when I let my mind wander it always ends up in the same place. Thinking about Gale.

I wonder how he is, its been so long. Does he remember me? I doubt it, even if he liked me as much as I liked him, the time since we last met would have definitely caused a significant difference in each other.

I roll onto my belly and pull the pillow down, setting it on my arms and resting my head on it.

"I miss him" I say out loud. I wonder sometimes, if I keep thinking of him that he might return to me. Heh, wishful thinking huh?

I slowly drift off to sleep, which was much needed after everything that happened.
       

In the dream

I walk along a forest path. It was dark out, but there was just enough moonlight to see where I'm placing my steps.

It was quiet, there was almost no rusting of the trees above. I walk into a clearing deep into the woods. Sorbsome reason a take a seat in the middle of it, basking in the moon's glow.

The night time is so pretty, I wish this scene was real. I lay down and look up at the night sky, the stars shining brilliantly.

Then I feel something sniffing me. I jolt up, fear rising in me. What could have invaded my dream?

There was a fox right above my head. He say there head cocked to the side in interest. It didn't look like he was going to harm me.

"Well hello there little guy" I said, reaching down to pet him. He nuzzled his face into my hand

He had beautiful green eyes, they seem familiar but I can't place a reason why. I sit up and pat my lap. The fox came over and laid down on me. "Poor thing, you just needed some comfort didn't you?" I cooed, I began petting him between his ears and his tail started to wag.

I smile softly while looking at the ceeature, something about him just makes me feel secure. As if he was sent to protect me.

He had Gorgeous green eyes, where have I seen those eyes before? I can feel my heart yearning for something but what?

When I wake up, it was dark out. Which makes since as I had fallen asleep around noon. I get up and stretch. I get a weird feeling as if something had happened.

When I had come too, I had already forgotten the dream. Everything except how I felt. That yearning and longing. It was almost enough to make me want to break down and cry.

I sigh as I sit up. I stretch and head to my kitchen. I skipped 2 meals yesterday so I should probably eat something. I start looking through my cabinets and fridge, finding the things I needed to make a few deli sandwiches.

I'm about to take a bite when I hear a knock on the door. I take the sandwich with me when I open the door. It's Alex's cousin Jaku. He is barely taller than me and his dark red hair covers the tops of his eyes.

"Uhh, are you looking for Alex because this is the wrong place. She's not here" I tell him.

"Its not her I'm here for", he said in a harsh voice.

"Hold on dude if you going to use that tone with me you can leave" I say getting angry. Who does he think he is talking to me like an angsty teen.

He rolls his dark, almost black eyes. "You're the one who was wondering what you are?" He said. "I've got some ideas"

"Ok fine, whatever you can come in" I grumble. I open the door wider so that he's able to walk in. I lead him to the living room and take a seat.

He closes the door and followsnin behind me taking a seat himself. "Do you know anything about your heritage?" He asked me.

"No, not really, I was put into the foster care when I was a newborn and wasn't adopted until I was 7, there wasn't any information on my birth parents. Why?" I ask

"Well when I analyzed your blood, I found found Traces of angel DNA. Which is very rare." He starts. "First off because angelic beings are known for hating humans so Nephilims are rare. But occasionally a human might seem interesting for an angel or a fallen to play with."

"So you're saying I'm part angel" I say woth a scoff. "Thats ridiculous there is Nothing angelic about me, I'm not beautiful, I'm not graceful, I'm not even charismatic"

He groan "Oh my Goddess, would you fucking listen!? You do, and it's in your blood, your magic power is what you inherited"

"What magic!? I'm not a witch like your or Alex" I cross my arms. "So how could I use it?"

"Your magic is different, it comes as strength and heightened senses. And once you realize your full power you might even get wings and a sword" he said. "And if that happens I want to be there to see and document it. Like I said Nephilims are rare"

"And who might you think my parents are?" I ask. Its something I wanted to know for a while, like all adopted kids.

"Uhhh I don't know how to find that out. There are a lot more angels that just the main ones we know. And since they don't come to earth we don't have much DNA on them" he said.

"So what does that mean? That there is no hope?" I ask
