EYE OF AZURE

Nightmare of Mare

CHAPTER 2

Gods do not interfere with fate until fate interferes with them.

What a huge lie.

They love to control the cosmos, they think they created everything but if they created everything then who created them? Were they born from nothingness? Then nothingness created everything, not them.

" Miss Blackburn? " Professor Lupin said. I turned to him with panic, he should have realized that I was not interested in a class for a moment. " Yes, sir? " I said. "You have mumbled a name. Is everything alright?"

" I- what? Oh, it was an accident. Sorry sir." He continued his lecture.

"Here is your homework, Do some research about Mare, and bring this research to me. The class is end, you can leave." Professor Lupin said. Everyone started to leave the class. When I exited the class, I entered to library and started to do my homework. After a few hours, it was ten p.m. I felt so sleepy and put my head on the desk. I was dreaming about a handsome boy until Draco woke me up. " BLACKBURN! BLACKBURN! " He seems too angry. He pushed me to the library shelf. " YOU HAVE IT! GIVE IT TO ME, NOW! THAT'S MINE!" I was just shocked. "What? What are you talking about-" He yelled, "THE CLOCK!"

"The clock? Draco, before I kill you take a seat and be calm." He pulled himself off me and sat down.

" It... It had a magic side. A really old clock, you... You can change the past with it... Even... Even you can kill someone... Or you can even change history... Someone stole it from me! " He had tears in his eyes. "He will kill me! I... I... You're the only one Kaira! "

" Only one? " I asked calmly. "You're the only one who can help me... Please! I... I don't want to die!" Raised my eyebrow. " You don't want to die? Why? It's peaceful."

He looked at me with his puppy eyes. "Why do you have that clock, Malfoy?" I asked calmly. "I... I am an" I completed his sentence. "Death Eater. You are a Death Eater, Malfoy I know." He was completely shocked. His eyes widened like he was looking at Azrael. I was worse. "H-How d-do y-you know!?"

" Ghosts told me. " His face is completely red cause of fear. "What?"

"Who stole it?" I asked. "I... I thought you did...!" He said. "Voldemort gave it to you, right?"

"No!" He panicked. "I mean- yes..."

"What can I do for you then?" I asked without any emotion. "Find it." Added, "Please"

After a few hours, I was reading in my bed.

Someone knocked on my door. No, it was my mirror. A woman who has dark clothes and bloody hair. "Yes?" I opened the window. "You need my help to find him." She said. "Him? Who?" I asked. She hissed, "Vladen Horatio. He stole it. The clock."

"And who is he?" I said. "And what do you want in return for this knowledge?"

"I'll ask when the time comes. Not now. Be careful little one, or not." She laughed like a devil and disappeared.

I closed the window and walked to Draco's room. I knocked on the door.

Draco opened and when he saw my pajamas he looked amused. "What? Everyone is scared of you cause you're the daughter of Hades. And you're wearing pink pajamas?" I pointed to the cats in my pajamas. "Don't forget kittens." He laughed. "Are you a Barbie Bastet?"

I rolled my eyes. "I learned. Vladen Horatio." He seems confused. "Vlad- what? Is he stealing my clock? How did you learn?"

I shrugged. "Well I am smart, I am intelligent and perfect as always. No need thanks. And, tomorrow at Hogsmeade meet me in a dead-end street." I turned my back to him and started walking to my room. "Is that a date?" He yelled behind me. I whispered on my own. "You wish, ferret." When I entered my room, I didn't even look at the dead body lying on the floor. I slept.

Middle of the night, I woke up and saw that body there again. I yawned and then walked to the dead body's side. I know who he was, Vladen Horatio.

I don't have any idea who did this, but the clock is not with him. The person who killed Vladen is supposed to have this clock. I saw something, he didn't have a shadow like Draco. I remembered that question.

"What happens to shadowless people?"

I saw a book near Dead Boy, I slid that book to my side. It is called "Nightmare of Mare". What nonsense I think. Mare is the Nightmare. She was a monster, a Norse monster. She gave people nightmares.

I saw the dagger which stabbed him.
