Beyond the dreamgate | A Caspian love story

Chapter 18

WA: Attemped SA

_______________
They all sat happily chatting with my brother. I wanted to go to my room, but my parents said we had to have a family meeting.

Well, it wasn't a familly meeting, more a 'how are you' meeting about my brother.

He told them how it was and what he had to do. I zoned everything out, not wanting to hear just one word out of his mouth. They talked so long, but not once have I heard, 'Sorry Lilith for everything'. Even though it wouldn't make it right.

"So how have you been Lilith." He pulled me out of my thoughts.

"I am fine Jeremy." I didn't want to talk to him, I just want to ignore him and hoping he would do the same with me.

"I really missed you there." He started again. "We had so much fun when we were younger."

I got a sickening feeling in my stomach. He knew we were always fighting and that what he did was wrong. I could see it in his eyes.

My parents obviously didn't see it. They are just happy that they had their golden child back home and safe. Only they forgot again about their daughter who isn't safe anymore.

After supper everyone got ready for bed. It was already dark outside and a bad feeling was rising. I was to scared to sleep. I wanted to shift again, but I couldn't. Not while he is in the house.

It was now around 2am and it was silent in the house. I sat in my bed with my nightlight on and watching my door. I couldn't kill him even though I really wanted to, if he tries something again.

I heard the floorboards in the hall and I held my breath. Hoping someone was using the bathroom or getting a midnight snack.

I heard my door squeak open and Jeremy stepped into my room. I pulled my blankets over myself, keeping my head above. Please go away, I pleaded in my head.

"Hello Lilith." He said with a sickening voice. He walked slower and slower to me, but I was too afraid to move, too afraid to defend myself.

"Please." I begged him.

"Please?" He teased with a smirk on his face. "Please touch me again, because no one can make me feel as good as you?" He said in a high voice.

My lips were shaking, my heartbeat was banging against my chest and everything felt warm.

He crawled on my bed and pulled the blankets of off me. I pushed myself up against the headboard and pulled my legs against my chest.

"Jeremy please don't" I begged again, but I knew he wouldn't stop.

"I know you want this Lilith." He grabbed my enkels and pulled me to him. He got on top of me and held my hands above me.

I struggled against his grip, but he didn't let go of me. I closed my eyes. Screaming and begging in my head.

"Stop Jeremy!" I screamed but I still felt hands over my body. "Please stop!" Tears were spilling from my eyes.

"Please stop touching me!" The hands were off of my body and I opened my eyes. Everything was blurry because of the tears spilling out of my eyes.

"Lilith." I heard a voice that sounded much like Aslans, but I am not in Narnia. Narnia is not real, it never was.

"Lillith." I heard another voice, this one sounding more female.

"NO no no, please don't." I crawled back to my headboard but fell on the ground. I crawled in the corner and put my arms around my knees and cried my eyes out.

"Go get him now." I heard someone say.

I tried to speak, but only heavy sobs came out.

I felt hands on mine and I instanly pulled away.

"D-don't t-t-touch m-me." I sobbed.

"Lilith look at me." I just shaked my head at the male voice.

"Please make him go away." I pushed the person who sat in front of me.

"Lilith, he isn't here. You are safe." I heard the voice again. I slowly lifted my head and saw a silhouette of someone sitting in front of me. They had medium long hair. Jeremy has short hair, almost bold.

I wiped my tears away and my vision became more clear.

I sat in a room in the corner and I felt the room going left and right, like we are at sea.

I saw the guy sitting in front of me and a blond girl on his left and a guy with short brown hair standing next to her.

I looked into the guys dark brown eyes.

Caspian.

My lips started to tremble and I flew into his arms. We fell back on the impact but I didn't care it hurt. I was safe, I was here again.

We stayed like this for a few minutes. I had no tears left to cry and no thoughts on my head. The only thought was that I was safe again and that it this was real, or isn't it? Did I shift again, is my body in shock back in my current reality?

"Is this real?" I whispered in his neck. I felt him shiffer a little bit because of my breath.

"This is real, love." I nodded in his head and slowly drifted off. I felt him move but I didn't want to let go. I hugged him closer to me, but he was stronger and lifted me up and layed me down in the bed.

I noticed Gael wasn't here, probably by her dad.

"Please don't let go of me." I said to Caspian, begging with my red eyes to not leave my sight. I saw him looking at the side to Edmund and Lucy.

"I am sleeping near Edmund." Lucy said to him and gave me a slight smile.

Caspian slowly went into the bed next to me. The two siblings wished us goodnight and left us alone.

"Want to tell me what you saw?" He asked me. We lay next to each other, not really touching even though I really needed it at the moment.

"I was back at my house." I started uncertainly. "My brother got back and at night he attacked me."

I sniffed a little bit at the memory. Everything felt so real, not like a nightmare or a dream.

"I am still not  sure if this is real or that I am just shifting, but I did hear Aslan whispering my name. Maybe it was a sign that it is real or it was all in my head."

"I think your real." I felt his hand below the blanket holding mine.

"That is what I made you believe, because of the script." I chuckled at him.

"Script?"

And for the rest 2 hours I told him about the details of shifting, some parts he didn't know from listening from Lucy's and I's conversation.
