Dreams of blood

Chapter 2

When they got there, Jenna couldn't believe how amazing the house was, Alissa instead wasn't surprised at all. It was really big, like a mansion, with big gates at the entrance, a private road all along the property with the house leading at the end of it.

"Wow... Aaron never told me how enormous his house was, compared with how he is makes me think I'm in the wrong house" she laughed loudly.
Alissa raised her left eyebrow confused. "You've never been here before? What you mean he's not like his house looks?"
"No, I never came here... He's not the kind of guy who talks sophisticated, with so much ego that could make you feel actually sick or think he could have all the girls he wanted to just saying how rich he is. Instead of that he's funny, shy with girls and he never talks about money."
"Oh I see..." Said Alissa ignoring her friend or at least half of what she said.
Jenna looked at her annoyed knowing she didn't listen a word of what she said "Hello? Earth to Alissa, is someone there?".

The answer was no. She was completely lost somewhere far away from her friend. The moment she started to feel fizzy, she didn't know what was going on and then, one thought grew in her mind. She didn't know how but she felt like he was coming to the party, the guy in her dream. She was thinking how stupid that sounded, it was someone imaginary... How could he appear at the party? Even when she knew that was stupid, somewhere in her mind she was completely sure he will appear.

"Sorry, as you said this is enormous, I was thinking what happens if I get lost in it..." She laughed, trying to make her friend think she was telling the truth. It was part true, because after saying it she admitted the house was so big and she didn't know that place at all.
"Well, whatever" Jenna knew that wasn't the problem with her friend but she knew as well Alissa wasn't going to tell her when they're up to a party "let's go babe, we have a party to rock!" And then, both laughed together. Jenna excited for the party and being with Alissa after studying so much and wait for summer to come and Alissa, happy when her friend decided not to ask her what was going on with her and let her enjoy the party, it was the first party she had since last summer.
Aaron was waiting on the door, smiling at Jenna. It was so obvious he was into her, because when Jenna smiled back, he couldn't help it but smile more than he did before and started to act weird, nervous and shy.

"Hello girls, ready for the party?"
"We're always ready" said Jenna, without stop smiling.
"Yeah, we are" said Alissa trying to get into the conversation "I'm Alissa, nice to meet you Aaron. Jenna invited me, I hope you're alright with it and sorry if I'm a little bit of trouble because of that..."
"What? Not at all, you're more than welcome. Jenna knew she could take with her whoever she wanted to, so you're the lucky one" he laughed "best friend, I guess?"
"Yes, since babies together" Alissa smiled at Aaron and then look at Jenna.
"I see... Well! Let's go girls don't want you to stay at the door when you should be inside" said Aaron as he waved with his arms which way they had to go.
"So... Too much people tonight?" asked Jenna interested.
"Well, I invited the people I thought they deserve to know who am I out of college" he looked at Jenna, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Hum... That means I deserved it then" she said smiling.
"Oh god" Alissa said annoyed "you both are pathetic talking like that".
"Excuse me?" Jenna sounded offended.
"Come on Jen, you know why I'm saying this" she looked at Aaron "don't take it badly, I'm just saying it annoys me how you talk to each other, without knowing what to say to get each other's attention. Aaron likes you" she looked at Jenna and then back to Aaron "and Jenna likes you... So what's the result for this equation? Get her a drink already and go somewhere for talk, lovebirds!" she laughed.
"That was really rude Ali!" Jenna was impressed.
"Oh really? Because both of you blushed when I said it, even if it was rude for me to say it, it made you realise how much you're into each other" she laughed again "don't need to thank me, just go away, I would love to watch another cheesy scene but I think I'm gonna explore this mansion" she looked at Aaron "if I'm allowed of course".
"Sure" he said, not knowing what else to say after what she just said.
"Thanks" she said before she left them behind.
The party was really an excuse to go out and try to forget what she was thinking all along, him. But she couldn't help it, he was on her head going round and round, all over her mind. She thought maybe if she tried to concentrate on exploring the house, she could stop thinking at least for some time. She took the stairs and decided to go up. A long corridor with lots of doors was in front of her, it made her feel small inside of such a big property. She decided to open the first door on the left but it was locked so she changed for the second one on the left. This door was unlocked, she felt curious about what could she find behind it or who.
The room was empty, no one was there but it was a really beautiful room, probably property of Aaron's parents. There was a king size bed with silk white sheets, at the end of the bed a little bench. There was also a big mirror, really old one. So old that she didn't recognise what kind of artist could create something like that. The frame of the mirror was handmade and it looked like it was made hundreds of years ago. Suddenly Alissa realised she shouldn't be staring at the mirror, she shouldn't be on that room at all, it was a private place.
She shuttered the door behind her and keep walking through the next door. She could hear people starting to make noise at the party and she tried to find a place more quiet so she went all the way to the end of the corridor, where the last door was and open it. It was unlocked and when she put her right foot on the floor of the room, she felt it. He was there.
Once she entered the room the noise from the party was gone, even when the room was actually one floor up of them there was no noise at all, no people shouting and no music making your ears hurt when you hear it. It was completely quiet. Alissa heard herself breathing slowly, surprised of how quiet she was even when she felt something was not normal in that room, even when she felt he was there.
It was a beautiful room, the walls were purple and one of the walls had green spots on it. On that wall as well was laying the headboard of the bed. The bed was covered with green silk sheets and at the feet, was a purple blanket. Also there was a big window with a bench under it. Alissa could see everything from there, she was loosing all the fun at the party. Everyone was outside having fun on the barbecue, the pool and even the tennis court.
She sat on the bench and took a better look of everything outside and she realised something new. Something she didn't see the first time she looked through the window. There was a cave, far away from the house but it was part of the property because it was inside the gates. Why would they want have a cave? Did they buy the house and didn't care about it? Or maybe they didn't know about the cave? That would be silly, if it's in their property they should know.
She didn't realise she was falling asleep on the bench till she actually did.

"Alissa, can you hear me?"
"Who's there?" She said surprised.
"Oh seems like you can hear me then" he laughed and walk through the empty room, emerging from the shadows from one of the corners on the room "didn't expect you to fall asleep that quick, especially when you're supposed to be partying".
"I guess I should but something doesn't feel right" she sighed.
"What is it?" He asked curious.
"Nothing" she looked up to face him "by the way, how come you're here? You like being on my dreams?".
"I'm kind of stuck, I could do lots of things still but your dreams are my best entertainment right now" he smiled "believe when I say I wish I could do something else".
"That's really nice of you"
"You started it, not me"
"What you mean?"
"I mean you're the one talking like that, like I have done something wrong, something bad to you" he said confused.
"What do you expect me to do? Is just weird when I'm dreaming you come from nowhere, covered in blood, knowing my name and a lot of things more about me, shouting me to wake myself up" she shook her head "I don't know".
"Well I agree with you on that, it was weird" he scratched his neck awkwardly "but it wasn't my fault, it wasn't something I planned or whatever you're thinking. I was as scared as you were, because I was covered in blood, everything hurt and you weren't helping much...".
"Wow now I'm useless"
"I didn't say that, let me finish before you open that big mouth of yours. I felt the same way you did, except for one thing. It wasn't the first time that happened to me, being stuck in someone else's dreams... Everything that happens on them, happens to me in real life. That's why I needed you to make it stop".
"How come you know that?"

But it was too late for ask, Jenna waked her up and she couldn't ask him anything anymore.
