Night Visions

Chapter 17

Tuesday May 23, 1936

I had to shower this morning just to get Joe Jr's filth off of my body, I don't remember what happened last night in the living room, all I remember was the transformation and the lightning bolt that mysteriously caught the wood on fire in the fireplace.

I let the warm water cascade over me for a few moments, I climbed out of the shower and slowly slipped on Rosemarys' purple sun dress she let me barrow for the day.
Just then I heard a knock on the bathroom door and my head shot up. "Brielle?"
"No, it's Kathleen are you alright in there?"
I lowered my eyes to the floor as I thought about my little sister coming into the bathroom after I got dressed, I miss her so much.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I muttered out the words.

"Well hurry up Tranessa, we want you down for breakfast." And then she was gone. I stared at myself in the mirror, my eyes were puffy and red but, I didn't really care how they were.
I braided my hair as I walked out of the bathroom and out the bedroom door.

I walked down the stairs and into the dining room where the Kennedy family waited, I took my seat in the fourth chair right next to Jean.
She looked up at me, "hi."

I was stunned because this was the first time she spoke to me sense I've been here.
"Oh hi," I replied with a lovingly smile, "how are you?"
"Good," Jean said cheerfully, "mommy said that you are staying here, do you miss your family?"
I lowered my head as sadness filled every inch of my body as I thought about my parents and my sister, my heart was hurting more then it did a few days ago.
I wander what they are doing now, they are probably looking for me but, they don't know where I am and that worries me.

Jack took his seat next to me as hot tears flowed down my cheeks, "Tranessa?" He asked as I looked at him.
He looked more like himself then he was last night, I mean, he had more skin then he did have cloud and his eyes, they were green instead of glowing yellow.
And the best part was that he didn't have no lightning shooting from every ince of his body.

But, the way that his skin ripped away from his body and it fell to the floor, I will never get that image out of my head, it still sickens me, and I was about to throw up every time I think about it.
"Tranessa?" Jack asked again, my stomach started to churn and I didn't feel to good, "what?" I muttered to him.
"I'm sorry about last night," Jack gave me an apologetic look, "you will never imagine the pain I-"

I couldn't help it, I shot up from my chair and ran upstairs, I ran to the bathroom and threw up.
I leaned away from the toilet and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, the image, the image of Jacks' skin falling to the floor is still stuck in my head.

And his hands, his hands turned into claws, oh my gosh I am so freaked out right now.
It was really disgusting, I mean really disgusting.
"Tranessa?" A knock on the door was heard, "you okay?"
I was to weak to stand up as Jack walked through the bathroom door, I looked up at him.
"W-what are you?" I asked him.
Jacks' eyes gestured the bathroom, "lets go talk somewhere else."

He held out a hand and I grabbed hold of it, he then leads me out of the bathroom.
We both sat down on the bed, "what I saw last night," I looked down to see my hands shaking, "it wasn't you, you've turned yourself into a dark cloud."

An unidentified dark cloud.

"Oh, did I scare you?" Jack eyed my shaking hands, I nodded my head as I mumbled, "y-you shot lightning out of your hand."
I felt like I've just got out of a Percy Jackson book or so it seemed.

Jack sat down next to me and looped an arm around my neck and shoulders, I flinched.
"It's okay," he whispered as he kissed me on the cheek, "it's alright, I won't let anyone hurt you, I will make sure you will get back home unharmed."

"I'm not so sure if I will ever go back home," I started to cry as the words slipped out of my mouth, Jack looked at me as if he was concerned and pulled his arm away from me gently.
"Don't say that Tranessa," he replied, "there might be a chance that you can go home."
I shook my head, "there's no way out of here."
"There is a way, it's just that you need to love an immortal to-" he trailed off.

"What?" I tilted my head to the side, "what is it?"

"Well, this is hard to explain but," Jack inhaled a deep breath and he slowly lets it out, "in three days time a full moon will appear, not just for my transformation, but for a magical portal that will transport you back to where you came from and that's where the love comes in handy, if you get enough of it in your heart the portal will open up at the end."

"So, there's always a full moon three days a week?"
Jack nodded his head, "here it does, but in your world it doesn't."

"And your telling me that if I get enough love in my heart? The end of the portal will open up?" I asked.

Jack nodded his head.

I couldn't believe this, he's telling me fake information.

But, he could be making some sort of sense here and plus, his world is different then mine.
But, how could this work? Where is this portal?
