Dark Knights

chapter 4

The dream snuck inside my head again. Just like the last time, I could hear every word Kalis parents were speaking. I watched and listened very closely, paying attention to their body language and words and fears, anything that could give me a clue as to who these people really are and what it has to do with me, as the scene changed from fear and sadness, to terrified and panicked. This time it seemed to go in fast forward and before I knew it I was in her bedroom watching her frightened mother urgeing Kali under her bed. This time instead of not knowing what was going on down stairs, we heard a loud BANG. But it wasn't a gun shot bang, it was like a....mystical powerful type of bang that only comes from movies. Then moments later we heard foot steps walking furiously up the stairs and stop directly infront of her open doored room.

" You can't have her." The mom spoke in an emotionless tone.

" I had really hoped it wouldn't have to come down to this." The guy spoke. I could feel his smirk in his threatening, demanding words.

" She will never be like you. One day, I swear to god she will destroy you." This time she spoke louder, stronger.

" Then I look forward to that day to come." And then instantly her mothers helpless body was hitting the wooded ground. Her big eyes looking apologetically into Kalis.

I woke up instantly after that. I took hard deep breaths, trying to recollect myself. Finally. I have finally heard my entire dream. So the Dark Knights wanted Kali to become one of them. But why? she was just a little kid. I looked over at my alarm clock placed on my end table. I had only been asleep for a few hours. I sighed and shoved my pillow in my face out of frusteration. I heard laughter coming from downstairs. Out of curiousity I got up and brushed my teeth then headed down.

" Kali." Keith stood up from the chair he was sitting on in the kitchen as he saw me walk in." I didn't expect you to be up so soon. Did we wake you?"

" Couldn't sleep." I shrugged. Sitting across from keith was a bald headed male. This must be our guest.

" I made fresh coffee. Would you like a mug?"

" No thanks. I'm really not a coffee person." I went and sat beside the stranger.

" Ok. Kali, this is my oldest and dearest friend Pablo. He just flew down from Italy." he eagerly sat back down with a newly hot mug of coffee. I tried not to gag as the smell swirved around my nostrils.

" It is very nice to meet you. I've heard alot of good things about you." Pablo said in a friendly tone.

" You speak very well, considering you live in Italy." I felt my cheeks blush as I realized how harsh that came out. I can't help but become bitchy when I don't get enough sleep. I opened my mouth to apologize when he sent me a warm and understanding smile.

" I'm not originally from Italy, as you can see. I was born in New York."

" Oh. What made you decide to move to Italy?"

" Change of scenery I suppose. And love of course." he winked and Keith chuckled.

" Pablo is actually married to Steven." Keith clued me in. Now that I really look at Pablo, he does look like the gay type.

" I originally only went to visit Italy maybe for a month or two. But When my eyes found Stevens, and they locked on each other, I knew where my life is ment to be." I couldn't help but let my heart melt in awe." Unfortunaly my dear Steven couldn't make the trip this time. But he is dying to meet you."

" So how long have you lived in Italy?" I immediantly regretted my question as I noticed Pablo and Keith exchanging a concerned look.

" That's enough about me. Wouldn't want to bore you." He forced a laugh." So, Keith tells me your birthday is coming up."
