Lost in a dream // Shailene Woodley and Theo James (Sheo Fanfic)

Chapter Eleven

I found myself back in what might as well be the underground batcave. There was so many hidden passage ways and the ceilings were so high they were daunting. I walked alongside the pool of water I jumped into when I met Theo for the first time and waited for him to reveal himself from the shadows. I wonder why we are back here, and what this place actually is. It's huge from what I can tell. There's 3 different tunnels from this main room alone and the path I went down last time I was here had 100s of doors down that one corridor alone. I can't even begin to comprehend how many other pathways may be behind them doors and how Theo even knew his way around.

"Miss Woodley, how are you this fine evening?" I hear from behind me as if on cue.

"I am doing splendid, yourself?" I spin around and greet Theo with a soft smile.

"Better now you've arrived." He smiled in return, kissing my cheek briefly before taking my hand in his. "I'm going to show you something cool, if that's okay with you?" Theo asks tugging me towards the middle tunnel.

"Only if you can guarantee I'll like it"

"I can't guarantee it, but I defiantly hope"

He led us towards the tunnel in the centre of essentially, the caves foyer. I couldn't remember if this was the one we had gone down before seeing as everything in this place looked the same. We came to a smaller tunnel that got darker. It was silent and all I could hear was Theos gentle breathing followed by our quick feet on the hard ground. I couldn't see where we were going so I let Theo practically drag me along blind, trusting him not to walk us off a side of a cliff while I let my mind run elsewhere.

The air around us was cold and fresh, the kind that could clear a blocked nose in an instant. This confuses me seeing as we are underground, or what I think is underground, the air shouldn't be fresh it should technically be warm and thick. I think this is my problem, I look at things too literally and search for logic and a comprehensible explanation. I don't know if ill ever fully except the fact that I'm walking around in another universe with a man who I have just met, whilst our physical bodys our sound asleep at home, we know eachother well yet not at all. We are attracted too eachother in this world but haven't met in our own. Strangely that seems more plausible to me then the freshness of this air.

We come to a stop after what seems like an inhumane amount of walking.

"Put your hand out" Theo commands

"What, where?" Theo grabs my hand and asks me to open my Palm. He hovers it face down in the air when a light moves around my hand, registering it. It beeps as the lights flash frantically, just like Theos had the first time we were here.

"Identity approved, Welcome back Shailene" The British voice boomed as the door slid open to reveal a more high-tech version of the batcave.

"What does it mean welcome back, I've only ever been here under your profile?" I ask Theo. Also when did I get registed? Surely a place that is important enough to have a hand identification system should have some sort of background check before letting anyone into the building.

"You must of got a profile before you lost your memory." He says quickly "Where do you want to go today by the way?" He asks changing the subject.

"What's the options?"

"Anywhere you want." We walked down a brighter corridor where the walls were a bright white, like a science lab. This was the corridor, or one of the many corridors, lined with countless doors. "I should probably explain how this works"

"Please do." I laugh

"When we wake up, we go to the place we are thinking of before we sleep, which is the basis of how any dream works. We can also connect with others and bring them to our locations if we arrive before them. That's what i've been doing to you. So you can manipulate where you are if you play it right and I can bring you along with me. Then there's this place. This is like the night spawners hub. These doors instantly link you to general places, like country's and also specific landmarks so if you want to go to more than one place without walking, this is the place to be."

"So we can teleport?" I ask

"Essentially yes." Theo seemed totally at home with the idea but to me, this was totally bizarre. Our whole life we've been told that teleportation was just a fantasy and now I'm being told nonchalantly that we can go to any country within a blink of an eye?

"Isn't this dangerous?!" Theo lets at a chuckle at my expression. My eyes are wide with frustration from his chilled approuch to this. I feel so dumb for acting surprised at all this new information, when Theos been aware of this all his life. Technically I have too if I didn't lose my memory.

"Maybe, but it works without a problem so I'm not going to look into it" he shrugs. "Know where you want to go?" He asks again.

"What about Hawaii? That's my favourite place" I smile.

"Looks like we're going on a one night holiday to Hawaii!" he beams.
