She Rises

Chapter 17

*Dream*

I'm standing in the woods, and I don't know how I got here. The stars are shining bright, and the moon is dull tonight. These woods, they are dark. I don't know where I am. As I walk, things start to get darker, I can no longer see where I'm going. I'm only in some flip flops, shorts, and a tank top, and it's a cool night.

Walking through, I start to hear things. Thinking it's my imagination, I don't turn around and just keep walking. A few minutes later, I hear a crunch on the ground. I turn around and see red eyes. I can't see anything else. Just the red. I start to back up. Tripping over some branches. As it gets closer, I can see the shape of a wolf, a big wolf at that. I can't move, I'm glued to my spot, until it starts to growl. For some reason, I start to get a familiar feeling. Not the good kind either, like trouble, and danger. To say I'm freaking out, that's an understatement. My mind is screaming run, but my body won't listen. It's about a foot away from me. As it starts to walk closer, my body finally decides to react and move.

I run, and run, and run, praying my legs don't give out on me. The wolf is faster, he catches up to me, grabbing on to my legs and dragging me away, Kicking and screaming, I try to get away. Nothing works, I'm too weak from running, and the wolf has too strong of a hold on me. Those red eyes, keep penetrating into my soul, bringing even more fear into me. Something is very wrong. I must be dreaming, I know I am! I just can't wake up though, I'm stuck. I close my eyes, seeing if that will help.

I feel us stop, when I open my eyes, I'm in a clearing. The wolf is gone, the sun is shining bright. I start to hear things. "You may think things are starting to look up for you, remember though, your past, is never going to leave you. It's always going to be there. You'll never get away from it, no matter how hard you try, you will forever be punished." With that, I see the wolf again, only this time he is standing over me, this evil snarl on his face. It starts turning into a figure, but I can't see who it is. All I see is an outline before I wake up.

*End of Dream*

I wake up with a start, breaking out in a cold sweat. It's like 3 in the morning. What the fuck was that? I start breaking out in tears. Sobbing, not knowing what to do, I text the only person that I can think of that could help me right now.

Haseya: Jace, are you awake?

Jace: What's wrong? It's 3 in the morning?

Haseya: I need you...please.

Jace: I'll be right there, love.

Haseya: Ok.

Not even 10 min later Jace starts throwing rocks at my window. I open it up and let him in.

I know I probably look a mess. "Hey, what's wrong love?" he comes over and sits next to me on my bed. "Jace, I don't know whether it was a dream, nightmare, warning or what, but it's making me uneasy and I don't know what to feel." I tell him. "Tell me about it." He lays down with me, my head on his chest, while he runs his hands through my hair. I tell him all about whatever it was that I had.

"I wish I could help you with this. I don't honestly know what to say. This is all new to me. I've never had anyone need me like this, so I'm not used to trying to comfort someone, but I will do my best for you." He looks at me, honesty showing in his eyes, along with something else. "Stay with me? Please?" I ask him. "Of course, I will." With that I fall asleep, this time. It's dreamless.

Jace P.O.V

I'm partially awake, when I hear my phone go off.

Haseya: Jace, are you awake?

Jace: What's wrong? It's 3 in the morning?

Haseya: I need you...please.

Jace: I'll be right there, love.

Haseya: Ok.

I check on Lily, she's sound asleep. My dad, he's passed out on the couch, bottle in his hand. Guess he's been drinking again. I go outside and hop on my bike, speeding to Haseya's house. As soon as I get there, I walk over to her window, and start throwing rocks at her window. Cliché right? As she notices me she opens her window and I climb in.

"Hey, what's wrong love?" I go over and sit next to her on the bed. "Jace, I don't know whether it was a dream, nightmare, warning or what, but it's making me uneasy and I don't know what to feel." She tells me. "Tell me about it." I lay down with her, her head on my chest, while I run my hands through her hair. She tells me all about whatever it was that she had.

"I wish I could help you with this. I don't honestly know what to say. This is all new to me. I've never had anyone need me like this, so I'm not used to trying to comfort someone, but I will do my best for you." I look at her, honesty showing in my eyes, I can tell my eyes say more, but I won't say anything, yet. "Stay with me? Please?" She asks me. "Of course, I will." With that she falls asleep. Looking peaceful, I make sure she is comfortable, and under the covers. Knowing Lily is at home, as much as I want to stay, I must leave. I give her a kiss on the forehead, she stirs a little but goes back to snoring, softly. I leave and head back home. I get home, check on Lily, and try to get a few more hours of sleep, before I get up for school. I can't tell yet, I know it hasn't been long, and I know I keep repeating this to myself, but I have a feeling, that it won't be long, before I start falling for this girl, hoping she will catch me.

Peaches! How are you all!?

I'm happy, I got 2 updates before I go to sleep for the night!

What do you think of Jace and Haseya?

Do you think she will catch him?

Or will something scare her away?

Let me know your thoughts!

Love you all!
