The Elemental Love

21 : Mission Finding Derek

Wet grass tickled my bare feet as I walked carefully. I looked down to see that they were muddy. How long have I been walking in this forest? Was it a forest? It surely looked like one.

Hearing a rustle I looked up straight to see white mist in the distance. Something compelled me to go there. Without any hesitation I walked quickly not minding the twigs which were hurting my feets. The mist was making it difficult for me to see but I could make out someone lying down.

I stood there leaning on a tree and squinted my eyes to get a clear look.

I saw a girl lying down on the grass. Very peacefully. She was surrounded by beautiful flowers. Her feet were cladded with white belle flats. My eyes trailed upwards to see her hands were resting gently on her stomach. Her body was giving a faint glow.

The strange girl was cladded in a periwinkle blue dress. It was such a beautiful dress. Her snow white hair reached her shoulder. I looked at her face closely. It looked familiar to me.

I stumbled back in shock when I realized the face I was looking at was my face. It was me but at the same time it was different from me. Suddenly the flowers around her started dying.

The trees groaned as if warning me. I wanted to move away but my feet were entwined with creepers. I tried to free myself unsuccessfully.

Scared, I looked up to see some changes in the girl. Her beautiful dress was torn. Her beautiful nails turned rotten. Black Veins started forming on her arms and faces. I saw a vein travelling through her neck towards the cheeks reaching her eyes and suddenly she opened her eyes.

I unintentionally gasped as she sat up straight, her bones making cracking sounds. The girl met my eyes.

I was horrified to see familiar red eyes. Eyes so haunting that reminded me of someone.

Suddenly my feet were free. I started backing away. The girl smiled at me. Blood dripped down her mouth. She mouthed something to me.

"I am you"

My eyes shot open. I looked around and to my relief I am still on my bed.

Rubbing my forehead I gently sat up. It's been a week since I have had this same dream. It's exactly the same every time. I see myself becoming like that red eyed monster who killed my father. I see myself becoming evil. And after these nightmares my head starts throbbing.

Slowly I got up and staggered towards the bathroom. After getting ready I went down for breakfast.

"Good morning Saph" Mother greeted me brightly.

"Morning" I said smiling at her as I drank some milk along with some pain killers. Mother didn't notice.

"That's a very beautiful necklace dear, where did you get it from?" Mother asked, looking at my locket.

"I bought it when I was out shopping with my friends," I said, touching the cold locket.

Before she could say anything more my phone interrupted her blazing out a loud ringtone. Without seeing the caller's name I picked it up and that was a big mistake.

"SAPPHIRE YOU DUMB!! YOU DARE BLOCK ME??!!!"

I cringed and quickly cut the phone and excused myself from the table and went upstairs. I called her again, this time keeping the phone away from my poor ears.

"YOU IDIOT HOW DARE YOU CUT MY CALL!!"

"Stop being loud jeez my ears will start bleeding" I said.

"Yeah whatever but how dare you block me? I haven't even done anything wrong!! " Zoe said this time a little softly.
