Dreaming of A Mate

Chapter 16: Sweet Dreams Dear Mate

Luke's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Months later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

********************************************************************

"Luke? Hello? Luke, you there?" a sweet melodious voice called out.

I looked around, but couldn't find her. I sniffed the air and found her scent. Her scent made my mouth water. It was the smell of vanilla and mixed berries. The scent that I missed and craved for so long. She was finally here for me.

"Soph! I'm here," I shouted.

A whirl of black misty air came into my vision, but in a flash it was gone. I blinked a couple times and rubbed my eyes. Was I seeing things? Maybe I am. I haven't been at my best lately. I recently learned Soph was hurt, but I guess she's safe now...right? I mean she's here and calling my name...

I followed the trail of her delicious scent and found her in a park? It was empty. She was there sitting on the swing humming a tune that sounded depressing and haunting. I went to her slowly as not to startle her.

She looked up and recognition gleamed in her eyes, but they were kind of glazed over. She jumped off the swing in one swift movement and gracefully landed on her feet.

"Luke," she purred. Sending shivers down my spine.

Slowly and gracefully. She took slow steps towards me and I just let my jaw drop at her beauty. It was like I was in those movie's where the guy sees the girl he likes and it's a slowmo.

Is Soph okay? She's not mad anymore that I didn't tell her I was her mate?

I heard her sweet giggles and it took me out of my daze. Soph grabbed my hand and intertwines them with hers. She gives me a reassuring smile that made me relax.

Then, suddenly, Soph tip toes and makes a light peck on my lips.

Yes, it wasn't much, but that was by far the best kiss I've ever had. I mean it when I say it was the best. I got a hard on from just a peck from her. Soph looked up at me and there was lust in my eyes.

She had a sly grin on her face and whispered in my ear, "sweet dreams dear mate."

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

Ugh! My damn alarm clock!

I smack my hand around the bedside table until I finally hit the snooze button. I rolled on my back and closed my eyes. Trying to get back to the dream I was in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sophie's POV

I felt sore all over and almost happy. I thought I was talking to LuLu, but I guess not. It was probably just another one of my strange dreams I've been having lately. I sighed and tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids were closed shut and refused to let me see anything.

Was I dead? Did I die? Did they kill me?

If I'm dead, am I in heaven or hell?

Then I heard a beeping sound...how the heck haven't I noticed it until now? It was sort of loud and near me. Now that I think about it I can hear monitor sounds and people faintly talking in the background. If I could move my hands, I would face palm myself.

Okay, I really need to see where I am. I can't be in heaven because this bed honestly isn't comfortable and I'm all sore. This can't be hell because this would be too good for it. So it's safe to guess that I'm still alive, right?

Suddenly, someone opens a door and walks in.

"Excuse me sir, we do not allow visitors at this time. Please come at a later time when it's visiting hours," some lady told a guy.

Visiting hours? Am I in a hospital???

"I don't want to wait. I will see her right now," the guy said stubbornly.

"You can't. I have to do a check up with her. So, if you will be so kind as to wait in the lobby. Thank you sir." the lady said and she shut the door and I think locked it because I heard a clicking sound.

Is she my nurse? Doctor?

"Good morning Sophie, nice day today isn't it?" she asked me, as if knowing I was awake.

I attempted to open my eyes once more and bit by bit I was able to open my eyes more. It took me awhile for my vision to kick in. I saw a lady going around the room and nurse clothing. She had curly brown hair tied up and she seemed fairly tall.

Remembering that she had just asked me a question. I tried to respond, but all that came out was a croak.

The nurse abruptly turned and looked at me in alarm. Wasn't she expecting an answer? She rushed to me, seeing that I was awake and grabbed something above my shoulder. It was a remote. The nurse pressed a button and set it back down on the table.

I looked closely at the name tag that hung around her neck. It said she was Laura and had a picture of her. She had curly brown hair and huge eyes.

"Sophie are you feeling okay?" she asked with concern.

I tried to speak again, but all that came out was a throaty croak. So I nodded instead.

Realization dawned to her and she rushed out of the room, only to come back with a cup. Laura handed it to me and I took it. Looking at what kind of liquid content she had given me and hoping to god that it wasn't that nasty juice I heard was served at hospitals.

Oh good, it was just water...I hope. I reluctantly took a sip and it did taste like water, so I continued drinking. Laura waited until I finished and I said, "thanks."

I sounded kind of raspy, but oh well. What do you expect if I just woke up.

She smiled and said, "no problem, but maybe next time be careful going out in the woods. You're very lucky that we found you before they could drag you down."

Drag me down? What does she mean?

The nurse must have seen my face because she clarified it for me and said, "The Little Monster's traces were all over you. You were nearly taken in by them."

WHAT!? Taken by them? I thought they wanted me dead or something, not drag me down to wherever they're going.

"Why would they take me?" I asked her.

Her face suddenly turned extremely serious as she said this, "You're their counterpart."

"There counterpart?" I asked again.

"Yes, I will tell you more later, but right now you need to take your medication and rest." Laura made me lay down and she rummaged through a bunch of tablet cases until she found the right one and handed it to me. I drank it and the world started to blur.

OMG!!! I just realized I haven't been updating this story for a LONG time >.< I promised myself I would update every week and this happens -_-

Ugghhh and I've been busy, school seems to think that since it's last quarter, they should rush and give us all this homework, projects and tests. Why can't it be easy?

*sigh* I'll try to update within this week. (this chapter is kind of short cause I had writer's block, then I became lazy and busy and yeah...)

Anyway, I was called a hipster for wearing a beanie. What is a hipster? o.o

Oh and thanks for reading! :D
