Chapter 21

The Primeval Collision

Tonight I am still experiencing these horrific dreams. This time, I struggled to wake up. I was walking to the top of the hill to see an entire forest reduced into ashes. Fires rose up from the far distance. The fires formed into the shape of Allie. I run to her, but my feet are sinking into the ashes. My feet are caught into a thick marsh that is freezing in temperature. In horror, I suddenly realized that I am stuck in a quicksand pit. I start to struggle to get my feet lose, but the more I struggle, the faster I sink into the pit. There was no other option, but to lean forward and monkey crawl my way out.

I get up from the ground and saw Allie in a white dress covered in flames. I run to her with all the energy only to see her vanish into thin air. I look down to see myself in the torn, dirty clothes I wore throughout my time here. I look down to see my bracelet break and it feel into millions of little pieces. I kneel down to the ground and tried to pick up the pieces. My hands and feet are covered in the ashes of Allie. All of the sudden, I hear thunderous foots steps out in the distance. The footsteps starts to get louder and louder that I start to run with a horrified look on my face. I turn to see a gigantic, bull tyrannosaurs rex chasing me at full speed through the foggy field. I kneeled down and saw the jaws of the predator snapping down at me as I scream.

I jumped out of bed sweating on my chest and forehead. I hear the windows are being hit with sprinkles of rain and the sky is grey with a hint of sun light showing through the clouds. I look to my left and saw Allie is asleep with her arms wrapped around my waist.  I smile to see Allie sleeping peacefully beside me. I plant a light kiss on her forehead before climbing out of bed. I look down to see that I am still in the nude. I cover my private zone quickly and looked around for any clothes. I go to the closet and found a soft bathrobe on the hanger. I throw it on and tied the belt into a tie. Allie is still sleeping peacefully as I walk out the door.

I walk in to the bathroom to take a shower. I toss my robe onto the door handle of the closet and steps into the shower. I moved my hair back and the scent of chlorine is getting stronger. I turn on the shower handle and warm water starts to flower down from the head. Being able to get a shower on this island was such a rare thing to happen to me. It is relieving to be able to take one again. After a good six minutes of being in the shower, I step out and grabbed a towel from the closet and wrapped it around my waist. I moved the water from my face, but there is something weird about me all of the sudden.

 I look at myself in the mirror. My body is still the same except I found a series of dark facial hair from my lip, to my chin. I go to the drawer below the sink and luckily there were tools for shaving. I sprayed a hand full of shaving cream and rubbed it on the beard. I grabbed an unused razor from an already opened package and placed it into cold water. As I was about to shave, I start having a flashback to my fight with Kabil. My hands are shaking as I try to make the effort to shave the hairs off of my face. I couldn't keep my hands steady and placed it aside.

"Good morning babe," Allie greeted.

I turn to my left and jumped in a surprised fashion. I breathe heavily in relief to see that Allie is leaning against one side of the doorway. She has our blanket wrapped around her like a greek toga. She smelled just like the chlorine from the pool. 

"Good morning," I replied in a similar fashion. "I was just about to shave, but my hands aren't as steady as they used to be."

"Want me to help you?" She asked.

I gave her the nod of approval and she came to me. She has me sitting on the seat of the toilet. Allie pulled out a towel from the closet and lays it on my lap. She grabbed the razor from the sink and sat onto my lap. I look at her as she starts to shave my face. She starts on the left side of my cheek and she is proving to be persistent. After a few clean cuts, she cleaned the razor by the sink. I look up at her as she moves down to another part of my face.
