Bell the white core mage (Being rewritten)

A nightmare

Bell POV

In my sleep, I must've started dreaming. However, this wasn't a pleasant dream. I dreamed of a man or something that looked like a man but wasn't. His skin was black and purple and he had horns sticking out of his head. I could feel the malice and the sadistic nature coming off of him. His back was turned to me but just as I had finished taking in his features he turned to me. His face contorted into a sadistic smile before he spoke.

"I'll be seeing you soon spawn of boy wonder"

My eyes then shot open and I was drenched in sweat. My heart was racing a mile a minute. My hand reached under my pillow reaching for my knife as my eyes shot around to every dark corner of the room. My breathing was heavy and fast as I kept looking around.

"Bell" I jumped and brandished my knife before I realized it was Regis who spoke. I dropped my knife by my side and tried to slow my breathing. "Bell are you ok," Regis asked walking up to me.

"I don't know. I saw something in my dream. Or at least I think it was a dream" I panted. "Can you tell me what you saw?" Regis asked.

"I saw a man. Or I think it was a man. His body was black and purple and he had horns on his head. His teeth were sharp and jagged and he was tall. Really tall. But he was skinny or skinnier than one might think. Then he turned around a looked at me. Like right in my eyes. Then he smiled and I could feel the malice and hatred and that smile. That was one of the most sadistic smiles I have ever seen. But all of that I could handle it's what he said that scared me"

"What did he say," Regis asked a nervous edge in his voice. "I'll see you soon spawn of boy wonder" I shakily replied. "It was just a bad dream Bell" Regis consoled the nervous edge in his voice gone.

"And if it wasn't" I nervously asked. "Then we'll face it together" he replied. I then slowed my breathing down to a steady rate. My body was still drenched in sweat and my heart was still beating pretty fast but not as fast as before.

Knock knock knock

I heard someone knock on my door. Regis went back to his dog bed and pretended he was asleep. I walked up to the door and slowly opened it. To my surprise, Aisha was there. "Aisha, why are you here don't you know what time it is?" I asked. "Yes I do but I heard you from my room so I came to check on you. Is everything alright?" She asked.

I nodded my head. "Yeah just had a bad dream that's all," I said opening the door wide enough for her to come in. "Do you want to come in" I hesitantly asked her. Her answer was her walking into the room while I shut the door. I heard her sit down on my bed and I did the same.

"Your knife is still out," she said as I sat down. "Oh. Yeah looks like it is" I replied putting it back under my pillow. "You always sleep with a knife under your pillow?" she asked.

"Yeah, it was a habit my aunt drilled into my head to always have a weapon close by" I replied. "So do you want to tell me what the nightmare was about," she asked her hand intertwining in mine. I didn't speak for a moment thinking about what to do.

"I-I can't I want to but I-

"You can't I understand," Aisha said sounding a little disappointed but not angry. "Does this involve the secret you're keeping from us" she softly asked. I nodded my head not trusting my voice. "I'm guessing it's a pretty big secret," she asked squeezing my hand softly.

"Yeah, it's a pretty big one. Like change your whole view of me and the world big" I replied. "Is it a bad secret?" she asked. "Depends on how you look at it. To me, it's not bad but to you, it could be" I muttered.

"Well if you think it's good then it can't be terrible," Aisha said easing my worries a bit. "Maybe. Maybe not" I said shrugging my shoulders. We sat there in silence for a few moments Aisha's hand still intertwined with mine. "Do you want me to stay" she hesitantly asked.
