Moon Chronicles: The Light In My Darkness

The Third Flashback Dream

After the hangout with April, Jake happily went back home with a huge smile on his face. He enjoyed every moment that he had with April.

He was quiet going inside, as Makayla and everyone else seemed to have gone to bed early, so he just went up to his room and changes into his pajamas and lay in bed.

'Man. . . I wish that I could tell April how I feel.' Jake thought to himself. 'But with Donnie being up my ass and Natalie basically having me tied to her, I don't think I'll be able to.'

But as Jake was thinking about it, he instantly shook his head. 'No. . . even without those obstacles, I can't.' He thought. 'Not after I went through what I did with Ryan. And now that she's back. . . God, I don't even want to think about it.'

Jake just put aside his thoughts and shit off his light and rolled to his side.

"Maybe tomorrow will be fine." Jake said to himself, as he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

But as he fell asleep, he began to have another weird dream, continuing off from the last one a couple of nights ago.

Jake's 'dream'. . .

Back in the dungeon, Vlad was sitting against the wall with a look of sorrow on his face.

"Well, I guess it's my time to go." Vlad said to himself. "I can't escape even with my powers. If I didn't have these cursed cuffs, I might be able to-"

"Hey!" A voice called out to him. "Are you alright?"

Vlad looked over and saw Jessica running up to him. "Huh? Who are you?" He spoke out in shock. "And what are you doing here?"

"My name is Jessica Hunter. Don't worry, I'm here to save you." Jessica said. "You won't be getting executed here now."

"No, it's too dangerous for you." Vlad said. "You need to go."

"I'm not leaving you!" Jessica said. "You deserve to love just as much as the others did. I won't let you die here!"

Vlad looked at Jessica with admiration in his eyes. This girl came all this way to save him. And from the looks of it, she wasn't gonna give up.

"Okay, but how do you plan on getting me out of here?" Vlad asked.

Jessica smirked as she pulled out a key.

"Ah, I see." Vlad said.

Jessica then unlocked the cell door and opened it, freeing Vlad.

"There you go." Jessica said. "You're free now."

"Thanks. . ." Vlad said. "But I don't have anywhere to go. I'll just get caught again."

"I know where we can go." Jessica said.

"We?" Vlad asked.

"Yeah, I'm going with you." Jessica said. "I'd hate to let you be all alone."

Vlad blushed a bit as she said that. No one has ever cared for him as much before, not even his own family. He was always seen to be a perfect prince, but this girl. . . she saw something in him that no one else did. And he could feel it, too.

"Yeah. . . okay. I'll go with you." Vlad said.

"Great. Follow me." Jessica said, grabbing his hand and pulling him alongside her.

After many careful maneuvers, Jessica and Vlad were in the middle of the woods.
