Unknown Destiny

3

I guess when life threw that curveball at me with the dream, weird things started happening. And yes I am aware of how set up that sounds but it's true. Whenever I went to nightclubs both male and females wanted to get into my 'pants'. Not that I wasn't complaining and it never happened, but it occurred more than it should have.

One specific incident also happened that I'm not entirely proud of, was when Rachel Stevens and I kind of got into a fight and I quite literally knocked her out with a single punch. I'm not boasting or anything but that has never happened before.

And as crazy as it sounds I've begun hearing voices. Not as clear as a normal conversation one might bear witness to, but quiet whispers. Visions too, I've been seeing things. I'm not quite sure if they're dreams because I keep waking up on a bed, but I distinctly remember being someplace else before I wake up. I never remember them though.

To make it better Anne, and I have become closer over the period of two days. We're friends now, she regularly checks up on me and I go over her place. She got a dog recently, it doesn't necessarily like me but it does things I ask it to do. Anne is completely shocked when I do that, mainly because she hasn't yet taught it things like beg or jump.

She's been awfully nice to me lately as well, really understanding when it comes to my... Problems should I say.

Something about her is just intriguing. At one point she gets super angry and the next she's buying you things as an apology. Honestly if she wasn't straight I would've kissed her by now.

Well, speak of the devil here she is.

Anne walks up, throws herself on the couch beside me and places her arm over my shoulder, "Well Cameron, today is the day."

"For what?" I ask idiotically.

"Our Disney movie marathon silly." She says as if I stabbed her.

I smile and laugh, "Oh yeah, that thing."

"Don't tell me you seriously forgot?" She asks removing her arm from my shoulder and folds her arms in a not so serious manner.

"I wouldn't forget such a thing."

"A part of me doesn't believe you Cameron." She grins showing one of her dimples and flocks her hair, "So which one are we watching first?"

"Hercules!" I say reaching for the remote on her lap, she quickly grabs it before I can however.

"Why though?" She asks and I frown like a child, "Why would you want to watch Hercules and not Lilo and Stitch?"

"Oh I get it, you want to save the best for last!" I reply outstretching my arm in order to grab the remote.

Anne simply stares into space trying to grasp the concept, "Hey! Hercules is not the best movie!"

I am now trying to crawl over her, "Who said that?"

"You did just then! When you said that I wanted to save the best for last, and by watching Lilo and Stitch first you're implying that Hercules would be last and therefore the best movie. Which it is not!" She rants and I stealthily grab the remote from her hand, "NO!"

Suddenly Anne reaches for my sides and begins to tickle me. I twitch and fall on my back drowning in laughter, in the process I drop the remote on the ground. Grabbing her chance Anne steals the remote and returns to tickling me profusely. I'm kicking and trying to push her away. And then the worst happens and I punch her.

I sit up quickly and rush to her as she hisses in pain, "OH MY GOD! Anne are you okay? Bloody hell I'm so sorry! God! Are you hurt? Of course you're hurt I bloody punched you," I reach for her and she growls. Literally. She growls, but only for a short moment and I'm left guessing whether or not I heard right. I reach for her again, I place my hand on her chin and turn her head so she's facing me, tears begin to form in her eyes and a huge rush of guilt rushes through me.

I'm worried about her, after hitting Rachel and knocking her out with one punch, I'm not entirely sure how hard that punch I threw at Anne was, "God Anne, I am so fucking sorry." And then I engulf her in a hug. She sobs into my top.

"That hurt so much Cameron you don't understand." She mumbles into my white tee.

"Jesus you don't understand how sorry I am princess." She laughs quietly and then says princesses don't cry. I rest my chin on top of her head and smile.

Anne retreats from the hug and wipes her eyes, "This was physical tears, not emotional. Your punch made me cry not your kindness."

Jesus she was strong, "Well don't tickle me next time."

"Like that will ever happen. I like seeing you be kind when you've hurt someone. It's reassuring to know that you're not selfish." She says wiping her eyes once more.

I pause and smile. She likes seeing me be nice. Well maybe that can be arranged, "Let's watch Lilo and Stitch first okay? Hercules can wait."

She chuckles softly, "If that's you trying to right the wrong its not working."

"Oh? How do I right the wrong then?" I ask facing her, Anne turns to face me, her brown eyes scanning mine. We stay like that in complete silence until I realise I've been moving closer to her unconsciously.

I can feel her ragged breath on my skin, doubt and excitement is evident in her brown eyes, "You can start by breathing." She says and I realise I had been holding my breath for a long period of time.

I move away from her silently gasping for oxygen, "I hadn't realised." I exclaim looking at her, she smiles softly and sniffs, "Let's watch Lilo and Stitch."

And with that she turns the other way without another word and chooses the movie. I wasn't paying much attention though, because all I heard were whispers.

Dark whispers, they say:

Septima valent, vitam restituit
Sed in sacrificium, ut sit in testimonium
Et abiit regium, puteus 'esse
Et vade in lucem, de banshee
Omnes perierit, vastaturos redeo domum, ut rem non erit consilium.
We will come for you. You won't see us but we'll see you.
