The Welcoming

chapt. 18 Jordan p.o.v

I got out of bed the dream still on my mind. It felt so real. I smiled a little. Remembering the girl I once loved.

I got dressed and got ready to go when I noticed a breathing lump on the couch. Sigh. "Ill be back justin" I mumbled as I walked out locking the door behind me.

I walked up behind ashley and kitty. They already seemed close. I remembered how dia used to make friends easily even when she didn't want them. Ash is more like her then I thought I couldnt help but chuckle softly. They were talking and I heard kitty say my name.

Ash seemed confused I couldn't help myself but scare her just a little like I used to do dia. "Yeah who?"

She froze. I havent seen her do that in a while. I just wanted to pick her up and kiss her....but I knew I couldn't.

"Come on gotta pick up where we left off!" I grabbed her and practically took off.

Shes been reminding me and more of dia by the second. I couldn't look at her....I couldn't get my hopes up.

I took her to the weapons room. Dia was frightened of this room the first time we forced here. Now I'm basically doing it to her all over again. A small sigh left my lips.

I looked at her and she had that frightened deer in headlights look. It was just like her...I couldn't help but think theres a chance this is her again. After all these years... But I can't know for sure yet so I'll lay low.

I picked up a sword and started doing simple tricks I learned when we first got here. "Find the one that speaks to you then find a backup." I threw the sword to demonstrate what she should be able to do but she seemed more scared then before.

I couldn't help myself. "Hurry or the wall wont be the only thing with a hole in it." I guess I went to far cause then she stupidly picked up a random weapon and hurt herself.

Run to her was my first instinct. But I had to control myself. "Thats what happens when you dont listen. Find the one that call your name not the one that gets you out faster." She closed her eyes and she let something lead her.

The moment felt so familiar but different. I closed eyes for a second...Then I had a flashback.

"Alex im scared..." dia whispered to me tears in her eyes as some random people with guns pushed us into a room. We looked different but we still knew...her hair was jet black so was her eyes. My hands were different. They had tattos over them. I didn't know where they came from at the time but I couldn't worry bout that Dia was scared.

I held her. "We are gonna make it through this together baby..." they pushed us in the weapons room where Niveah waited.

She stood in the middle of the room smiling. I just knew that was gonna be our last moments alive.

"Pick a weapon that calls your name then pick a backup afterwords I'll meet you both in my office." She smiled and left.

I mumbled "you were suppose to save us...not kidnap us." As she walked out. Dia looked at me "what?" Eyes full of unfalln tears. I looked at her. "Lets just do what they say...so they dont hurt us." She nodded holding me tighter I'll never forget that feeling.

I picked up the weapon though...I burned my hand and quickly retracted it screaming a little and holding it. "This some kinda dumb trap?" I yelled at the goons Niveah left behind. Dia held me and told me it'll be ok once they let us out she will take care of it.

Then she told me to do what she does. She closed her eyes and followed her heart for her choice. She always did that when it came to making decisions. I copied after her. She ended up with a whip and me a sword.

When I opened my eyes my flashback was over. It felt like forever but apparently it only took a few seconds.

Before I knew it she had both her weapons but she was a bit...happier then when Dia had to do this. That installed slight fear in me. I gave her her weapons belt then took her to eat. I left as soon as I could. I dont think I'll be able to take any more reminders of Dia from ash.
