Chapter 14

Mitch's POV

Supper was chaotic, everyone asked questions about why I was living with Jerome and Tyler now. Lucky Jerome made up an excuse. He told them that it was for training and not to question it. Everyone believed it but I had the feeling that Rob didn't. He kept looking at me with a questioning look. I avoided eye contact him for the most part.

I was getting ready for bed at the moment. I was exhausted after having so much pressure on me this evening, I didn't want to say anything wrong.

I threw my shirt and pants into my hamper and turned the lights off before climbing into bed. I stared at the ceiling till I finally drifted into complete darkness.

===================

Mitch's dream

===================

I was in the forest walking down a dirt path. I stopped at a large field. Their was a man standing in the middle of it it, he was facing away from me.

I walked closer to him, suddenly the ground started to shake violently. I lost balance and fell. I looked at the man, who was now floating in the sky. The ground cracked around me and began braking apart. The man stood still, floating in the air, he was glowing a faint purplish color. He turned kept his back facing me. I watched as the ground around me slowly sunk into the ground. The sky grew dark as black clouds suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Lighting struck around me, the man still hovered their in the air not moving.

"Hey!" I yelled at him.

The man ignored me, or didn't hear me because he didn't move or say anything. Lightning struck all around the field, or what was left of it. I saw a tree catch fire and fall into the hole around me.

"Captain!" Someone yelled. I looked around to find no one. I turned back to the man who was now glowing bright purple. He slowly turned around and faced me. . . It was my dad.
"Dad!" I yelled. He gave me a sad smile then made a face of discomfort, it was like something was hurting him. . . suddenly the lightning stopped, the ground turned back to normal and stopped shaking. I watched as he stopped glowing then then fell to the ground with a bone crushing thud.
Oh my god.
I got up quickly and ran towards him. I kneeled down beside his body and turned him over. He was bruised and bloody all over. I checked for a pulse but their wasn't one.
He was dead.
I hadn't even realized I was crying till a wet tear drop landed on my hand.
"Dad please come back." I croaked. There was no response, I knew he was dead but I wouldn't admit it.
"Mitch!" Someone shouted. I looked around to find a man walk out of the trees. I couldn't identify him because he wore a black mask.
"Mitch!" He yelled again.
"W-who are you?" I stuttered. This man looked terrifying. He walked towards me quickly and grabbed the collar of my shirt pulling me towards him.
"Wake up." He growled. I stared at him like he was crazy.
He let go of my shirt and took a step back before he punched me hard in the jaw.
=========================
I awoke to Jerome shaking me awake.
"Mitch! You were screaming in your sleep. It looked like you were having a nightmare so I woke you up. Are you okay?" Jerome asked concerned.
I sat up and rubbed my eyes, they were wet, probably from crying.
"Ya I'm fine, I just had a nightmare. I'm fine now." I said.
"Here I'll go get you some water." Jerome said as he got up and left.
He soon returned with a glass of water.
"Here." He said as he gave me the glass. I took it and gulped down some of it.
"What time is it?" I asked quietly.
"2:37 am."
"Crap did I wake you up?" I asked guiltily.
"Ya but it's fine. Just be glad you didn't wake Tyler up." Jerome laughed.
I don't even want to know what Tyler would've done if I woke him up at this time.
"Are you okay?" Jerome asked again.
"It was just a bad nightmare." I whispered.
"Okay. I should let you rest." Jerome said as he stood up and walked towards the door.
"J-Jerome?" I stuttered.
"Yeah?"
"C-can you stay for a while? I-I don't want to be alone right now. ." I said slightly embarrassed.
Jerome smiled and walked back to my bed. He got under the covers and sat beside me. I blushed at the fact that I was in my underwear and Jerome was in a t-shirt and sweats. Jerome put his arm around me and pulled me towards him.
I moved closer to him and closed my eyes, slowly falling asleep.
"Mitch what are you doing to me?" Jerome sighed.
=========================
Jerome's POV
I decided to stay with Mitch because he was saying stuff about his dad in his sleep. I could understand why he didn't want to be alone. Not knowing how one of your favourite family members died is a nightmare itself and I thought it was kinda cute how he was embarrassed to ask.
Eventually I'll have to tell him that I knew his dad and that his dad was once the captain of the feared ones. . .
Maybe another day though.
