Recap: So I left the condos and walked the few miles back to my apartment. I like walking, it helps clear my head when I'm stressed. I saw a shadow lurking in the alleyway, I thought it was my imagination. It was human because I could see a cigarette light. I just then ran up to my house and shut and locked the door, hoping that that person didn't see me.
I got dressed for bed and I thought the shadow was still in the alleyway, so I made sure everything was locked up tight and secure. I was scared that the strange person from the mall seen me here before. I better be careful from now on, so I'm scared but I'll make an effort to sleep. I gotten mad at myself since it couldn't be possible for that guy to follow me. I just scared myself in believing a silly thing like that would happen.It took me a while, but I finally fell asleep and I had the strangest dream.
DREAM
"No this can't be happening," I say when I see nothing but blood and people, "I will not let this happen."
"It isn't your fault Mia."
A strange but good looking guy appeared. He was tall, his eyes are a dark green. The man had muscles you can see through his black t-shirt, and his black cargo pants fit loosely. His brown hair perfectly frames his face.
"Mia believe in yourself and don't be afraid." He says as he walks straight at me.
His eyes looked like they could stare straight into my heart, then he pulled out a gun. I see the gun pointing straight into my heart and I shiver from fear. He pulled the trigger but nothing happened. I felt my legs shake as I stare into his eyes. It was then he spoke again.
"I can be your salvation or destruction. I can be anything you wish. My name is Daemon and you have the same effect on me as I do you." He says as he gently moves to kiss my forehead, which makes me blush.
"You're that stranger aren't you?"
"Not all questions I can answer but sleep now and you will have no more nightmares. I will protect my salvation from this prison." He says gently as he strokes my cheek softly before he turns to leave.
"Wait don't go!" I say as I reach out to him but he was too far away for me to touch.
"My time is up now sleep and dream of me and me alone."
DREAM END
After that dream, I felt like I was floating on clouds. I was so peaceful that I didn't wake up to notice the man outside my window.
Daemon POV
I can't believe that the girl who hunts my dreams is actually here in my hometown. She is more than what I expected. I think I'm quite taken with her. If my contact doesn't show tomorrow, I'll see to this fine lady. I need to protect what should be mine and mine alone. It will not be easy to do, but I will do it.
I have a power to appear to people when I'm not there, for example, the girl's dream I entered. I thought I could scare her but she was as strong as I hoped. She didn't resist me though and that was unexpected. I better get down from the veranda before someone spots me.
I walked back into the shadows of the night. I love the night and it accepts me as its secret keeper. I need for my contact to come for the information on the assassination of the delegate deceiver. Yeah, that's right, I'm an assassin and a very good one at that. I only target evil and corrupted people so I consider myself to be both good and evil.
My contact is a secret agent from the government and he is a good friend of mine. He holds the details of my target that I need to kill.
What is taking him so long? If he doesn't show up then it must be a trap or setup.
"I must be crazy to wait like this."
"My, my the great killer is walking away from his kill?" It was my contact's voice.
"Finally at the last Minute." I say as I see my friend walking to me.
"Forgive me but business held me up and the shadows hide you well." He says as he tries to catch his breath.
"Shut up and give me the information and guidelines." I say with impatience, I wanted to him not to come so I could spend time with the girl I fell for.
"The boss is pleased with this and here you are. Learn your prey well." My friend says with a bow.
"Believe me I will and he will die." I say confidently, as I cross my arms.
"Good luck my friend."
Did I mention that I work for the government too? Well now to study the target, then meet my eligible girl waiting for me.
Mia POV
I woke up to the shriek of my alarm clock. Today is the day when I go out and get inspired. First I have to do get a job to make sure ends do meet. I have an interview later in the day so I have a few hours. Then I remembered the dream.
"Is that guy the stranger I saw at the mall? No it couldn't be. I got ready for my day out and I made sure to be careful." I say to myself as I get up and get ready for my day. I hear pounding on my door sometime later. I rush to it and open it to see Cory.
"MIA!"
"Hey, Cory what's wrong?"
"You didn't hear?"
"Hear what?"
"Lily collapsed this morning and she didn't respond to anything I say. I called the ambulance and they took her to the hospital, I came to get you."
"Alright just calm down and let's go to the hospital."
When we arrived at the hospital a little while later Lily was just asleep.
"What happened?" I ask her nurse that was hovering over Lilly.
"She slipped on the stairs and she got a concussion." The nurse says as she does a few routine things.
"She'll be alright?"
"Yes, but she is very tired."
"I'll stay here until I have to leave ok?"
"Thank you so much Mia." Cory says as hugs me.
"You're welcome but you owe me one."
"That I can do."
I stay at the hospital until I had to leave. I come back from my interview to find Lilly awake and well. We chat and laugh and I told her about my interview, yet I couldn't shake a feeling that I was being watched.
