The Last Hour

Part 22

9 days later...

Bram's  POV:

I close my eyes, rubbing my face and I try to remember where the hell I've been for the past months. I reopen my eyes, exhaling softly and stare at myself in the mirror. "Where was I the past months?" I mutter to my mirror self, but I only get the question repeated back at me.

"Bram, are you awake?" A familiar voice says from behind my bedroom door. Not daring to come in my room, which was wise.

I rub my face again, shaking my head and exit the bathroom. I walk over to my bedroom door, I open it to see Tokoshi and I don't say a word to him. I wasn't really dressed, just mostly in sweats and no shirt. So not a princely act on my part, but that doesn't stop me. "What do you want?" I ask.

Tokoshi was wearing jeans, and a plaid shirt and says, "Father told me you can't remember anything."

I clear my throat, leaning against the doorframe and I say, "Yes... And why is that? Because I want to know." I cross my arms over my chest, I put on a straightforward face as I wait.

He clears his throat, seeming nervous and says, "I don't know what you want, dear brother." He begins to walk away from me and that makes me pissed.

"I want the damn truth!!" I shout to my brother, I grab my jacket and snap my fingers to transport me to above.

Roan's POV:

I sigh softly, unlocking Bram's apartment door and head into the living room. I throw the keys on the kitchen counter, peeling off my jacket and plop down onto the couch; closing my eyes in exhaustion.

Dorian meows, jumping onto my stomach and paws at my face.

I groan, covering my face with my arm and mutter, "Dorian, knock it off." I turn a little to keep myself from getting attacked again and exhale deeply. I close my eyes again, exhaustion creeping up my spine and I give in a little. Soon enough I slipped into the abyss of darkness...

Dream:

Something was coming after me, the sound of quaking steps getting closer to me and that made me run even faster.

My breathing was heavy, my arms and legs feeling like lead, but that doesn't stop me. What stops me though was the fact that there was someone in front of me. My running begins to slow down, going to a halt and I say to the shadow in front of me, "You've got to run!"

The shadow doesn't move, it just stands there like it was frozen.

The sound of the footsteps came closer, causing me to doubt that I shouldn't of stopped.

I felt the ground beneath me shake, my body trembles and the force was too much. I collapse to the ground, landing on my hands and knees and it felt like gravity was throwing all its weight onto me. I groan, my head throbbing in absolute pain and I touch my temple. "You've got to run," I repeat, reaching the shadows leg.

The shadow turns around, and it grins at me. It kneels down in front of me, grabbing a fist full of my hair and it whispers, "You should've kept running." It disintegrated into ashes and I was left alone with whatever followed me.

The pounding footsteps stopped, and the person pins me to the ground. The person yanks me to face it, a mask covered its face and yet it had the same features as Bram. He yanks out a knife from his boot and puts it to my throat. "I should've killed you when I first met you." He says and then plunged the knife into my chest.
