The Depths Of Our Hearts

Chapter Two : Gwen

GWEN'S POV

I tossed and turned, my forehead furrowed. I couldn't sleep and I was having a really weird dream.

" Isn't it beautiful?" Sean whispered as we lay on the grass, looking at the stars.

 I replied," Yeah, it is."

 I felt his hand slip into mine and I closed my eyes in content. He gently pulled me up after awhile and he looked at me. He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear before leaning in. My eyes fluttered shut but I never felt his lips on mine. 

I opened my eyes and saw him staring behind me, his brows furrowed. I said softly," What's wrong?" before turning to look behind me.

 There was a gold glow in the distance. We both looked at each other, puzzled. Finally, he said," Come on, Princess. Let's go check it out."

 He helped me up and slipped his arm around my waist. We walked towards the strange ray of light and realised that it was coming from a garden. I saw a girl with brownish gold hair sitting in front of a boy.

 He was holding her arm, studying it carefully. I looked closely and realised that the glow, was coming from her hand. Suddenly, I felt this weird feeling inside of myself. It was kind of like a luring feeling. Towards her. 

It was unidentifiable but all of a sudden, I was literally being pulled towards her by an invisible force. As if she was a magnet and was attracting me towards her. 

Just then, she looked up and saw me. Her eyes locked on mine and I saw that she had greyish blue eyes. But there was the same golden glow shining out of her eyes, making her natural eye colour almost imperceptible. 

And just by seeing that, the luring feeling got stronger. I slipped out of Sean's grasp and started walking towards her. But I couldn't go far because he had grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. He whispered," Gwen, don't."

 I turned to look at him and said," It's okay. Let me just talk to her. It'll be fine."

 I gave him a reassuring smile and kissed his cheek. With much reluctance, he slowly let go of my wrist. I walked towards that intriguing girl and realised that the boy with her, was too, holding on to her protectively. 

He said," Stasia, no." 

Stasia. What an unusual name. I thought to myself," It must be short for Anastasia." 

She looked at him and said," It's okay, Luke. She won't harm me." 

He eyed me with caution but I paid no attention to him. I saw that the glowing became brighter and that the pulling towards her was growing stronger the closer I walked towards her. I said," May I see?"

 She nodded and I took her hand. She had a tattoo on her hand that resembled a dragon curling around her arm but with metallic angel wings instead of usual dragon wings. Then, I saw that on her index finger, there was a lion tattoo. It was supposed to resemble a ring. I knew because I had the same one. On the exact same hand, exact same finger. I said softly," That tattoo... I have it."

 I lifted my right hand up to show her and she widened her eyes. " You can see it?" She asked. 

I nodded. Oh my gosh, she could see it. She could. I finally found her. We aligned them up and pressed them against each other. And once we did, the glowing had reached its maximum and had begun to shine out from our identical tattoos as well.

 I covered my eyes, but not before catching a glimpse of the golden glow finally taking over all the space in Anastasia's eyes. Suddenly, a loud sound came out of nowhere and that was it. Total blackness. 

 I jolted upright and panted. It was just a dream. Just a dream. But somehow, it wasn't as well. Anastasia with the brownish gold hair and greyish blue eyes. I needed to find her.
