The Dream Walker and Catcher

Chapter 8 - The Reunion

Evans PoV

When I hear this girl thoughts, I'm never get bored by it and always enjoy hearing it. There's going to be a very interesting event happening once I come back.

As I and my brother Damian where off the graveyard to go see our parents, we first drove to the flower market to buy some Lilies. Those where their favorite ones, especially the green and blue ones. Could you guessed it? Once we bought them, we once again head off to the cemetery where our parents where.

I slowly began to feel uncomfortable as I saw the graveyard closer and closer.

'Are you okay?' my brother gave me a worried look since I looked like I'm about to jump out of the car

'I'm fine... it's just that I'm still not very used to this...' I murmured

He patted me on my shoulder as we stopped near the graveyard.

'Don't worry, you're not alone. I'm having a hard time accepting it just as much as you are having...'

For a moment we just sat there in the car. I can't handle this... the fact that my parents died was more painful than you have could imagined. The fact that they were murdered made me still wonder who would such thing. And the anger and furiousness in me couldn't get bigger.

'Look I know you have a hard time accepting the fact that we can't find the suspects-'

'You don't understand, I saw them Damian. I saw how they murdered our parents with my bare eyes and I couldn't do a shit about it. Why? Because I was afraid to do so'

'Don't blame yourself for the death of our parents. You were 12 years old, you couldn't have done anything'

'I could, but I didn't have the courage. I still feel ashamed of myself every time I go to their cemetery'

Then Damian puts both of his hands on Evans shoulders and turns him around to look at him face to face

'Look Evan, living with the feeling of guilt because of something you couldn't prevent from happening isn't going to bring them back nor please them. Do you think our mom and dad would like it? To see you live miserable and in pain because of that? They protected you, because they love you and they sure as hell wouldn't accept the fact that you may have been killed instead of them...'

I was stunned by the fact at what my brother said. Because it was true. I don't have anything to object with. As he saw that I was speechless, he let go of my shoulder and got out of the car, taking the flowers with him.

I just sat there with astonishment as I saw that my brother went ahead of me to the cemetery. He is always the brother who supported, trained and played with me. That's why I always look up at him and always will. To moments such as these, he always gives me courage to be strong enough to face my own fears.

As I took a deep breath, I opened the door of his car and run to catch up with my brother...

Clarice PoV

School was done as soon as it started and as always me and Ann went home together. For the first time, it felt as if the whole situation with Evan didn't even happen and it just was a regular day. He didn't even talked to me through my head or commented on anything I said or thought. I should be feeling relieved right? But I didn't, since it wasn't normal for him to be acting this way...

'Missing me already?' I heard a voice full of amusement. For some reason it stunned me to hear him after he didn't talk to me for like a whole day but it actually relieved me that I could hear him again.

You wish I would. I was just worried that something might have happened to you since you didn't do or say a thing to me

'I had some business to take care of. But once I'm back, you have my full attention princess'

Didn't we talk about the nickname thing? And I didn't even say that I need your attention...

'Oh so it's okay if I don't come back?'

YESS WITH PLEASURE.

'As you wish princess. But don't regret your words afterwards'

Why would I?

'Since you already made plans with me where I didn't know of'

Crap.. I totally forgot.

'I assume you forgot?'

I could just sense that he was enjoying this moment. But I sure as hell didn't

Look I didn't have a choice, so I had to make something up. And Ann was already suspicious of you.

'Oh so saying that I'm clinging on you and practically begging you to go out with me is better?'

Just deal with it. You can ask me anything to do for you if you just could corporate with me on Saturday

'Hmm... anything you say' the tone of his voice gave me shivers of what he might ask.

'Fine, I will corporate with you under one condition'

And that is?

'Say to me that you miss me and that you want me to come back and...'

And what? Like if that's not enough of a trouble

'You have no right to complain since you involved me in this without asking me first'

LIKE YOU DID AFTER TELLING ME ABOUT THE WHOLE DREAM WALKER THING

'But that wasn't my own doing, that's my job sweetheart. Anyway the next thing you need to do is to is please me at the date'

How?

'I think you already know that'

OH HELL NOW MILLER. You think I would do that in front of a bunch of people?

'So you would do it if we were alone?' there was a tone of curiosity and questioning in his tone

Nn-o, why would I? It's not as if I like you... in that way

This just couldn't get any worse than it already is.

'So you want me to tell your friend it was all a lie and you just didn't want to go to the party?'

I was wrong about it. It could get more worse than it already is...

You have no idea how annoyed and pissed I am now. But I guess I'm at fault for that since I involved you...

'I like where this is going to...'

Shut up already okay?

I took a deep breath and was already thinking that I what I might say, is going to be the thing I'm going to regret the worst.

Fine, deal, whatever you call it. But just don't pull any pranks on me AND keep your hands where there are supposed to be.

I heard him smirk at that as if he knew himself that he was victorious.

'Believe me, I'm going to be the one who has to say that to you sweetheart. Can't wait for Saturday, see you soon princess'

As soon he said that, I didn't feel his presence anymore in my head. Good that this conversation wasn't face to face, or else he would be able to see that I was flushing red as I don't know what.

'I don't need to see it sweetheart, I already sense it'

SHUT UP ALREADY! YOU'RE NOT MAKING IT ANY BETTER YOU KNOW!

As I heard him laugh, I wondered how I was going to survive that whole day without chocking this guy and maintain my composure.
