Once Connected

Chapter 19- Once Dreaming

Death. Fear. Pain. Screams. Death. The scenes keep flashing in front of my eyes. Ryder getting stabbed. Esmerelda's lifeless eyes. The pain of war. Waves and waves of rogues attacking and killing, and NightRaider's sadistic smile. A black silhouette charges, a sword in hand. Jackson jumps, landing in front of me. The sword slices into him. The silhouette disappears and Jackson collapses, his blood staining his fingers. "Good bye Syrina." He whispers and he was gone.

I scream. My body jolting up.

"Syrina!" A voice next to me yells in worry. "Syrina! Its alright!"

I lung and grab the person around the waist. I squeeze him tightly as tears start to pour from my eyes. "T-they were k-killing us!" I cry and burry my face into this person. "T-they k-k-killed you." I sob.

Jackson wraps his warm arms around me. He pets my hair. "It's okay Syrina. I am here. I am not going anywhere."

"But you were gone!" I cry, squeezing Jackson tighter. Jackson pries my hands from him and moves me so that I was in his arms. I hug him, clutching to him around his chest. His hands wrap around my back. He kisses my head. "I am not gone love. I am right here. I always will be."

I continue crying as he continues petting me gently, relaxing me. Finally, the pain disappears and I am sniffling.

"There Princess, a little better right?" Jackson coos. I nod my head and snuggle more against him. Jackson gives a small smile, "Come on sweetheart, let's go to sleep."

I hug him tighter in fear. Jackson chuckles slightly, "Easy there. We are just going to lie down."

He shifts and lies down. I follow him, leaning against his shoulder and chest. His arm wraps around my shoulder and across my stomach. "It's alright Princess, I am not going anywhere." He kisses my forehead. "Try to sleep."

I sigh as he gently pets my back. Slowly, because of his warmth and his presents, sleep takes me again.

I enter dream world. Slowly a cave comes to view.

I float to the three silhouettes in the cave.

NightRaider speaks, "So the plan is that Mia will lure the Alpha while you, my son, with lure Syrina."

A figure steps out of the shadow. He was muscular, young, probably a little older than me, had green eyes and red hair. "Dad, we won't be able to lure the two alphas if they have mates."

"They don't have mates! Our spy told us that!" NightRaider hisses.

A new figure steps out. She was curvy with a large butt and big breasts. She had curly blonde hair and blue eyes. "I will do my part NightRaider." She says. I did not like her, she was sly.

"Wait, why are we doing this again?" NightRaider's son asks.

NightRaider sighs, "Xander, one more time. Once Mia gets into the pack, we will 'accidently' have Alpha Jackson die and Mia will have full control of the largest pack. You will lure Syrina. Once you lure her, you will have control of the newest pack. She won't do anything because she will be mothering your Element Focus and Elemental Control children."

Xander, NightRaider's son, nods, "Alright, but is she at least somewhat attractive?"

NightRaider chuckles, "Son, she is very attractive. You will see her when she comes in tonight. Mia you may go. Go prepare yourself, make yourself look good. It is said Alpha Jackson likes blondes with big breast."

Mia bows respectfully and leaves the room. Then NightRaider faces his son, "You will see Syrina tonight when she comes. I called her so that in her dream she will join us. In about a minute or so."

Xander sighs, "Alright..... let's just hope your attractive level is higher than mine."

I float toward the two men and touch the stone floor. As soon as that happens I gasp for breath and stumble onto the floor. I crash into the cave wall and a snicker is heard behind me.

"Has she never done this before?" Laughs Xander. NightRaider sends him a look.

"Ah, NightStrike, how good to see you again." NightRaider smiles as I stand up.

Xander gasps as I turn around and scans me up and down. "Damn! She is hot!"

NightRaider rolls his eyes and walks up to me, "Syrina, welcome to dream talk. This is a way to communicate one on one without being in the harm of others."

"But you look so real." I say innocently and touch his face.

He slaps my hand away, "That is because I am! I just can't hurt you."

I pout. Xander chuckles, "Hello Syrina, my name is Xander. I am NightRaider's son and the next elemental control."

"They don't know that I was here during their 'plan' time!" I think to myself.

"Hello Xander." I say smoothly, and then snap at NightRaider, "What do you want?"

"I just wanted to show you how your husband." NightRaider mentions to smirking Xander.

"I will never be with him!" I hiss.

NightRaider sadistically smiles, "Oh cousin, he will be here in one week with a daughter of an Alpha to lure your 'current alpha'. "

"Dad. You just told her our plan!" Xander shrills.

NightRaider smiles, "Don't worry, she won't remember when she wakes up. Good bye NightStriker, see you soon."

My eyes snap open. I was back. "You okay?" A deep voice asks.

I nod my head and snuggle back against Jackson. There was something important that I had to tell him. What was it?
