Death and Dreams (COMPLETED BUT NOT EDITED)

Chapter 19

The bell rung for school ending but I sat in my seat and looked at Seb. He nodded and smiled softly, already knowing what I was going to do. He left the room to help the others fix the house.

I waited until everyone was out of the classroom before I got up but I froze.

What was I suppose to say to him?

Was I suppose to ignore him or was I suppose to give him a hug?

What if I was wrong and he wasn't the man?

What if he really hates me and just wanted to get my hopes up but then tear it all away and have me killed once I told him everything?

I was broken from my thoughts when Mr. Shaw said, "I know that you have questions, Thantos but this isn't the place for them. All I will saw for now is that I have watched you since the day you were born, even before you were born. I have watched over the others as well, but they look to you as their leader because they can feel the power that you have. That is why you knew about me before them, if I die I want to make sure that you and the others can take care of yourselves."

He was about to say something else but I cut in, "so you're the grim that's suppose to protect us"

He sighed and said, "yes"

I didn't say anything, just nodded and walked out the room.

I don't know how to feel about this, so for now I just blocked it from my mind.

Once out the school, I blinked to Germany and I saw everyone working but they stopped when I didn't say anything, just stared at the ground.

Mack asked, "Is everything alright Thantos?"

I didn't say anything to him but I turned to Seb, "Its him, show it to them"

He nodded and I blinked to see my dream in her room, lying on her bed, doing her homework.

She didn't notice me, so I went over to her and lay on top of her, putting my face in her neck.

She shrieked a little then started laughing, "You scared me for a moment, Than"

She kept giggling for a minute but then stopped when she realized I wasn't talking or laughing.

"Than?"

I didn't answer just held her.

"Than, what's wrong?"

I still said nothing

"Thantos, what's wrong?"

I finally had the courage to say it, "I found him but he didn't say what I hoped he would say."

Fantasy said gently, "What did you want him to say?"

My voice cracked, "That by the time he found me the council knew what I looked like and couldn't take me away but was determined to talk to me, so he sent me journals to talk to me and hoped they would keep me sane. And that he always wanted a son."

Fantasy reached behind her, so she could run her fingers through my hair. It was soothing and gently and made me talk more.

"But he didn't say that, he said that he watched us since the day all of us were born. He didn't do anything about the abuse that I had to go through. He stood back and watched. And while I was getting the shit beat out of me, he gets married and has a happy family. Yet he's the one that's supposed to protect me. He's suppose to protect the others, not me. I shouldn't have to control my temper, protect everyone and deal with the council. I'm only seventeen, I shouldn't have to go through all this because he didn't want to do it."
