Blue Knight of Heart

Chapter Two

      Liam had a different dream that night. He didn’t dream of the two men, but instead he dreamt of a woman. The woman was bearing a blue dress, standing in front of the same old house. She had a long hair and pale skin, deep black eyes and red lips, she was slender and of medium height, she was beautiful. But as Liam looked at her face closely, he saw that she looked very weary. He was looking closely at the woman, but it seems that she couldn’t see him.

            Suddenly Liam was being pulled backwards by an unknown force. He didn’t fight it, he simply went with it. “Liam…” He heard the woman said before he finally woke up.

            “Liam…” Warren called. He was sitting on the side of Liam’s bed, waking Liam up gently with his voice.

            Liam, after seeing Warren by his side, instantly sat up and gave Warren a tight embrace. “Did you miss me that much?” Warren asked with a warm tone as he embraced Liam back.

            “I did. I really did.” Liam said before moving away.

            Even though he was turning 22, Liam was still a child, in heart, in mind, and in spirit. It’s his childish and innocent charm that makes people want to get closer to him. But it was the same reason why his cousins are very keen on protecting him. Even though, he might still be a child at heart, Liam is a wise person, maybe even wiser than his cousins combined.

            “You’re late!” Liam complained. “Ethan said you would see me last night, I waited the whole night, but you didn’t come.”

            “I’m sorry. Now get dressed, I’m going to show you around the island.” Warren stood up and patted Liam with a smile.

            Liam got ready as swift as he could. He was about to go out of his room but the serious voices of Warren and Ethan stopped him.

            “So you didn’t find out anything yesterday.” Ethan said.

            Curious, Liam opened his door slightly as he eavesdropped on their conversation. “He’s very elusive. I’m starting to think that we’ll never find him. How is Liam doing?”

            “He’s still the same. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not, but he is still the same as four years ago.”

            What were they talking about? Who are they looking for? Liam was so curious as to why his cousins were talking so cautious and secretive. He decided to walk out of the room. “What are you talking about?” He asked with a smile.

            “Nothing important.” Warren said with a big smile. “So, are you ready?” Liam nodded.

            The three of them went around the island that day. First they toured around the commercial part of the island, where all the resorts, bars, and restaurants where. It was filled with tourists of different kind. They passed by Freya’s restaurant and Liam remembered what happened the nigh before. It was still hard to accept what happened. He wanted so badly to know how he had that vision. He wanted answers, but he don’t where to begin to look for it.

            He couldn’t tell his cousins about the matter because he knew they would over react. He couldn’t remember how and when it started, but his cousins suddenly became so overprotective of him overnight. He was not a child anymore, he was of age, and yet his cousins were still acting like he was a little kid. But he didn’t hate nor dislike the way they are treating him, because they are the only family he had.

            They walked around for hours, just looking at the scenery and the tourist life on that island, but Liam wanted to see more, he wanted to go to other part where the locals live. “There’s nothing much to see there.” Warren said refusing to bring him there.
