Forgotten

Chapter 5: Mon Amour

Lilly and I make our way to the pool area where gets us bathing suits of a dull color.

I guess they believe, if you drown, your not their problem.

We jump in and the warmth of the water overcomes me. It's so soothing and I lie back floating along the water. Letting it take me where it wants.

Lilly swims around. Just as she walks, she swift with the water. Like a swan. She's So beautiful and bipolar. Maybe that's why she's here.

I look up and the ceiling window at the dull sky filled with grey clouds. I close my eyes.

***
When I open my eyes I'm back in the forest. I look around trying to find him.

"Come out." I say demanding.

And then he approaches. His body completion the sheer definition of perfection. His eyes so blue they glow almost as bright  as the moon.

"Who are you?" I say demanding again.

"You don't remember." He says looking in my eyes.

"Oh, so you speak English." I say crossing my arms.

"And you can speak." He says. "You must wonder why you cannot. Or in ways, why you will not."

"What are you talking about?"

"Your voice. You can only speak in your dreams because your spirit isn't hidden. Only when you are woke does it hide."

"But why? What could it possibly be hiding from? My mind?" I say sarcastically.

"Danger." He says.

"Danger from who?"

"Don't trust anyone." He comes closer to me. "You have to leave.

He starts shaking me. Suddenly I start to have a hard time breathing.

What?

"Leave now!" He yells.

Suddenly I open my eyes and I'm deep in the water. Lilly is no where to be seen as is anyone else.

I start swimming to the top, my breath letting out little by little. Quickly I start kicking my feet faster, air bubbles start blocking my vision as I slowly run out of oxygen.

As I start to reach the top i start to feel dizzy and my throat feels like it's being squeezed. My vision becomes blurred as I stop kicking.  I hear his voice telling me to not give up. It echoes in my ears.

Suddenly I tight grin grasps my arm and jerks me out of the water.

"Give her some space. Come on, don't leave. Breath!"

I hear a male voice in my ears and pressure on my chest. Then my eyes snap open and I start coughing up water.

I look up to see Doctor Mathers standing above me.

"You almost gave us a scare." He says helping me to my feet. "Let's get you back to your room so you can rest."

We start walking towards the doir. There's a few people who are watching me and I slightly see Lilly in the back. She's watching me too. Her eyes filled with disappointment.

***
We arrive at my door and wait for a guard to come open it.
Doctor Mathers looks at me and I him.

"How are you feeling?" He says.

I shrug.

"You had us all quite worried.  I thought we lost you."

Yeah like I'd want to be here.

A guard comes and unlocks my door. I walk inside and turn to wave goodbye to Dr. Mathers.

"Well be setting up an appointment tomorrow afternoon. Just to check up on you."

I nod my head and walk to my bed as the guard closes and locks my door.

When I know they're gone I grab the paper and book out from under my mattress.

Let's see what you've got to say.

I start translating the words he said and writing them down.
Once I got all the words written I read them to myself.

"Oh my love. I want you so badly. but it's not safe, not yet. I'll visit you in your dreams until the time comes."

Not safe. Safe from what? Love? Who is this man?

I need to know who he is and who I am to him. I lay on my bed and close my eyes.

***
Again I'm back in the forest.

"Come out." I say demanding.

Nothing.

"Come. Out."

Again nothing.

"Mon amour." I say.

He appears. His face full of disbelief. He walks to me

"My love.." I say almost to a whisper.

His eyes widen as he looks at my face.

"Who are you?" I say letting out a deep breath

"Some say... I'm human touched by both God and Satan. Some, a demon gifted with wings..."

"And what do you say?"

Suddenly,  slowly I see a bright light appear behind him and 2 full sets of bright wings appear. I shield my eyes trying to let them adjust as they do, I can see the delicate patternsof the feathers. A few have been removed but you can hardly tell as they are so beautiful.

I take a step closer to him, my fingers feeling the feathers.

I look up at him, his bright blue eyes almost as bright as the wings attached to his back.

".. I say, my name is Samael. And I am a fool in love with a girl who can't remember me." He says.

I look confused at him.

"We have a life together. We're destined to be together." He says.

I take a step back.

"What do you mean?" I say

"I can't tell you. You have to remeber. Remember me, my love." He places a hand on my cheek.

I close my eyes and see me and Samael dancing in a ballroom with dozens of people surrounding us. He twirls me out to bring me back into his arms.

My dress a light blue color almost as blue as his eyes. The eyes that held my heart.

His smile is so soft, so sweet and his eyes look at you like your the only ones in the room.

"Let's make a break for it mon amour." He whispers in your ear taking your hands in his own.

You run with him out of the ballroom and down the massive hallway, slightly trailing behind due to heal complications.

You run out the a garden that is illuminated by the light of the bright moon that's so big you can almost touch it.

Just as you were about to take off your shoes Samael pulls you into his arms and you both shoot up into the sky with so much speed no one else could see.

Were high into the sky that I  can touch the clouds while he looks at me smiling.

"Our place." He says

And like that we jolt into the clouds to a clear sky seeing the moon in the distance. He holds me in his arms as we stare at the beauty that is the moon touched by stars.
