| 4 | memories and dreams

As soon as you got home you jumped on your bed and cuddled with your cat, your fingers ran through its soft white fur as it purred beautifully. Zayne crossing your mind occasionally, why is he weirdly charming? Why is he oddly mysterious and why is he kinda hot...? You stopped yourself there and shoved a pillow in your face.

"I really shouldn't be thinking these things of a stranger I like JUST met" you sighed to yourself while continuing to stroke your cat's soft fluffy fur. You quickly ate the meal that your mum made for you before plopping yourself down on the couch to watch a movie when all the sudden something popped into your mind, "what was Zayne's number again??" you questioned to yourself as you tried to recall his exact words, "714...47-" you whispered to yourself then let out a long sigh because you didn't remember the rest. You constantly repeated the numbers to yourself quietly, trying desperately to remember and you managed to remember 3 more numbers '714 479 20' but you knew there were still 2 more numbers.

Time skip: 3 hours

You've been watching tik toks for ages now, its 11pm now and you're starting to get a bit tired so you got ready for bed, slipped your smooth silky blue and white pj pants on and put on your grey cotton top and jumped into bed. Your head rests soundlessly on your fluffy pillow as you let your eyes drift off slowly into a world of beautiful memories and dreams.

A/N - yes yes the title of this chapter is a sally face reference

Your face rested perfectly on your pillow as your eyelashes laid softly against your face. You could hear the wind whistling around the streets outside your window like a murder of crows swishing in the air. Soon enough your whole body was completely relaxed as it melted into the mattress, suddenly you heard a strange yell but it sounded strangely distorted. You got up out of bed to realize that you weren't in your cozy bedroom anymore...

Your eyes drifted around this strange place, the room was basically all a light shade of brown. The dust in the air circled around the room as you carefully walked towards this wooden desk covered in papers...actually now that you notice it, the whole room is covered in all different sorts of books and random papers...documents, strange memo notes and just blank pages. You picked up one of the pages on the desk and ran your index finger lightly over the surface, the texture was bumpy and the corners of the page were burnt, you continued tracing the page with your finger as you tried to understand what was written on the page but it seemed to be in a different language...perhaps Latin? You softly placed the paper back down on the desk, soon something caught your attention, you casually ran your hand across the wooden desk until you made your way to a tea cup with green and gold swirls on the outside of the cup. There was a small amount of green transparent tea inside, someone or something had been drinking out of this, you lifted the cup to your nostrils gracefully as you smelled the tea. It smelled strongly of green tea and lemon-grass, you had never smelled something this divine in your life, you let your body fully relax and melt into your surroundings as memories came flooding into your mind.

You heard another distorted scream like last time but it was a bit different...it was, closer...way closer than before. The hairs on the back of your neck stood up as your body jolted as if lightening had come down from the sky and struck you violently, it was such a loud scream that you noticed the candle lit chandelier in the middle of the room was slightly swaying back and forth. Out of the corner of your eye you noticed something sparkle vibrantly, you couldn't help but quickly turn your whole body towards the sparkling light. There they were, sitting asymmetrically on the polished wood window sill...a bunch of jars, your feet start moving on their own, its like you no longer have control of your body...its like you're in a trance.

The closer you got to the mysterious jars the stronger this certain scent became, you couldn't quite exactly point out what the smell was but you liked it...loved it in fact, the smell of something or someone comforting, a combo of 2 totally different scents that you never thought would work...but they surprisingly work very well. You soon were standing directly in front of the jars, each jar was a different shape, different size and some even had different coloured glass. You tried to focus your eyes on what was inside these jars but the strange smell that you smelled before was powerfully overwhelming you...like the source of the smell was right behind you and all around you. You took a small step back but was stopped when you felt something warm and soft on the back of your head, a quiet but deep voice from behind you softly hushed you, you wanted to be scared, you wanted to scream and run but you couldn't help but feel at ease by this comforting voice that seemed...oddly familiar. You felt a palm slowly press into both of your shoulders, as soon as the hands contacted your skin you felt energy being pulsed into your blood and you lost control of your body once again as you leant back into whatever was behind you, letting it or...him fully consume you and making you warm all over. Your hand slowly began to rise up from your side to touch the glass of the jar, upon contacting the jar your hair blew back as a bright light shone from within the jar. The thing from behind you slowly moved its hand down your arm, working its way up to your hand, its fingertips felt like heaven on your bare skin as they glided ever so softly along until it finally reached your hand, its hand on top of yours...as it guided you to grab the jar and slowly twist the lid open...
