A Stranger in My Room

Dream

Chapter 4

Kate's POV

Today is the day that I found my self waiting for Alessio to come but as the night grows deep their was no sign of him.I know he told me already that he will be seeing a friend from a far.But still I can't help my self but to wait for him every night.I'm not used to miss a single night for I reckon not once he did miss to show up.For he always make it his top priority as he said to visit me every day but not today.I felt sad and longing for his touch as I caress the empty space of the bed were he usually lay.Sighing I tried to close my eyes and willed my self to sleep.Then slowly I felt my body relax as sleep took over me and darkness engulf my senses.

In the Land of Dream

Confused as why I was standing in the middle of a barren land bare footed.I walk letting my feet decide where it will take me.From a far I saw a lantern,quickening my pace I pick it up and raise it above my shoulder to help me see the path I was heading clearly.For several hours of walking I finally make it near to the cliff and below though its dark I can clearly see a beautiful sea from below as its fresh salty scent has been carried by the wind.I savour its calming scent and close my eyes to feel the serenity and calmness the sound of the waves brings.I don't have any idea where I was though,I find the place strange but I can't bring my self to be afraid of it for the place brought peace in me.As I wonder around the land once more.I found my self standing at the gate of a grand castle.It looks so old base on the the look of it.Undaunted I walk my way in for it looks void of any presence of the living.Looking around the inside of the palace,I found my self staring at the tattered portrait of a prince.I gasp as I realize the prince in the picture got a resemblance with my Alessio even his stance and the air of elegance as he pose in the painting.It all shout out Alessio's character,taking a step back I felt my blood run cold as I sense someone's presence from afar.I swallow a lump that form in my troat as I slowly turn around and walks to were I heard something or rather someone move.

With a shaky cold hands I twist the door knob open and took a peek from the inside.And there I saw the prince in the picture sitted in a throne with a very sad expression.Something inside me tightened as I saw him in that state.I felt my self wanting to near him and assure him that everything will be alright.I wanted it so bad to ease his pain but I held my self to near him.Then out of the corner a giant silver grey wolf and a dark shadow appear at his sides.I gasp as I saw that the wolf morph in to a handsome Godly looking being then the Shadow became a man in a dark suit, handsome as he could ever be but their is an edge of mystery and darkness that surrounds him.Both male were eyeing the prince with concern as they neared him.I bade my time observing them as I listen to their exchange of thoughts.And the more I eavesdrop the more I felt confuse as to why the two called the prince sitted in the throne Alessio.Is it just a coincidence that my Alessio and the prince got the same name.As I was in deep though I was snap out of it when the door that I was leaning on decided to betray me and it swung open making me loose my balance.I waited for my body to touch the floor and feel pain as I close my eyes bracing myself for the impact of my fall.But it never came as I feel two strong familiar arms were wrapped around my waist holding me in place to prevent me from the fall.

Opening my eyes slowly with hesitation  only to be greeted with a blood red eye of the Prince as his lips were partly open and his white sharp fangs were peaking.

I parted my lips to uttered a word but nothing came out of it.

Hush my love no need to be afraid it is I....your beloved.The prince uttered causing me to be confuse as to why he was claiming that I was hers when I don't even know him.

I'm sorry Mr. but I think you were mistaken me with someone else.I have a boy friend and he will not be very happy if he found out that you were claiming that I was your beloved.

You look so lovely when you are all confuse my little mouse!....He uttered then he let out a bark  of his laughter as though he finds it so amusing to see me like this.

Alas for me, my blood run cold as he use that endearment Alessio often address me.Why I'm having this feeling that I am starting to believe that Alessio and the man in front of me is the same person.But what frightened me more is that he is not a human at all.He looks like a vampire,while my Alessio is a human,how come they become one?

Freeing my self from his grasp I shook my head and back away from him.No!.......you are lying you were just luring me to fall for your trap. So that you can make your ways with me. I know what you were and I'm not afraid of you.I uttered as I back away from him.He didn't uttered a word as pain etched in his handsome face as he tried to reach for me.I flinch and back away more further.The two other creature just eyed us with amusement as they let their friend deal with me alone.

Don't be afraid of me Kate he uttered as he fall down on his knee.And I swear I see tears streak down his eyes but he blink it away.With an anguished expression marred on his face. He eyed me as he extend his hands once more for me to reach it.

As I heard him called for my name I felt my blood fled from my face as I paled.For I can't be mistaken this time even their voice were the same.But instead of nearing him and seek answer from him as to why he becomes a vampire. I fled too afraid to trust my self to be near him.

Then I heard a piercing loud cry,that's when  I found my self panting as I was awaken from my sleep.Then I realize that all of it was just a dream,rubbing my chest to ease the throbbing of my heart.Wriggling out of my bed I grab a pitcher in the side table and pour a glass full of water.Hurriedly drunk it empty and put the glass down.Heaving a deep breath I walk back to bed and lay awake till the morning break.

Please come back Alessio I need you here with me.I uttered too afraid to close my eyes again and found my self dreaming of that same man again.Its was just a dream nothing more it isn't real Kate .I told my self as I tried to be brave.
