Cataclysmic Infernal

CHAPTER 18: Obliterate

I gasp and wake up from the petrifying nightmare I can hear my heart beating loudly in my chest my breathing erratic a few stray tears coating my eyes and perspiration run down my forehead, and neck and a chill ran down my spine upon thinking of the dream.

Out of instinct my hand move around my neck pulling the chain out and see that the necklace is there attach to the chain I breath out a breath of relief my hands are shaking as I look at it. I see the same intricate pattern on the necklace causing me to drop it back down and dangle from my neck. I take deep breaths to calm my breathing and close my palms into fists and open them back and shake my hands to stop the trembling in my hands.

I put my still slightly shaky hands on my forehead making them damp from the perspiration coating my forehead. I run my hand across my forehead and neck wiping the sweat formed there and rub my hands on my pants getting my hands clean too.

Once my breathing slows down I get out of the bed and walk out of the room closing the door behind me and walking down the stairs in the hall and pace around to clear my head.

My breathing is calm now, hands are still slightly shaking from the nerves and heart still beating rapidly but now I dont hear my heartbeat in my ears.  

What was that?

Why did I had that dream?

It was such a strange dream.

Was that really a dream or...?

What does my necklace have to do with it?

I dont get it. I reach for my necklace once again and look at it like really look at it but I see nothing apart from the intricate pattern and the black, violet and red colour thats it I see no-

Wait.

Black, violet and red.

It is the same colour as those creatures eyes. Is it a pure coincidence? It can be a coincidence right.

Right?

The next morning or should I say after few hours because it doesnt really matter if its morning or not its still dark outside anyway when everybody got up and came downstairs in the hall I decided to make everybody breakfast since I couldnt sleep after that strange nightmare.

I made chocolate chip pancakes and waffles along with some orange juice and now everyone is siting on the dining table along with the twins and are eating breakfast while I just keep looking at my breakfast plate.

I dont really have an appetite. I cant stop thinking about the dream.

Hey. You okay? I snap out of my thoughts when I hear Jules voice from beside me. She has a slight frown on her face when she notice that I am mentally absent in the room and slight concern look flashes in her eyes. 

Im okay. I nod and give her a tight lip smile to assure her.

Why arent you eating then? she questions.

I look down at my full breakfast plate and shrug and open my mouth to reply.

I dont have an appetite? it sound like more of a question though.

She narrows her eyes at me at ask again

Is something bothering you? I mean our current situation isnt all rainbows and paradise but apart from that is there something else on your mind? I let out small chuckle at the mention of rainbows and paradise and reassure her once again hoping that she believes me. I don't want to worry someone with my shit because I am sure I am overthinking about this dream.

It was just a dream.

No theres nothing on my mind Im just not hungry. she gives me a look that says she is not convince with my answer.
