"This isn't happening because you aren't real! You can't be!" I screamed, shrinking back.
"Ahh!" I gasped, taking in huge breaths of air. I looked around my room, as my heart raced in my chest. My hair clung to my face, my t-shirt clinging to my body with sweat. I looked around my room and I couldn't see anything. I waited trying to let my eyes adjust to the darkness. I ran my fingers through my hair as my eyes started to adjust, the floor outside my bedroom creaked and I froze. My head snapped up to the doorway of my bedroom and my pulse picked up.
I felt my throat close up as I tried to say something. A warm feeling finding it's way through my chest, I knew that whoever it was probably didn't want to hurt me. Or at least I hope not. Truth was if they wanted to hurt me they would have already bounded through my bedroom and strangled me or done whatever it is that they wanted already. I pushed the covers down and pushed myself to my feet, slowly moving towards my bedroom door. I felt my heart beat picking up, my hands getting sweaty. My feet feeling werid against the cool carpet.
"Who's there?" I whispered looking at the figure in the doorway. The person shifted in the doorway; movng towards me. Starlted I took a step back moving towards my bed, my first thought to hide under the covers. The shadowy figure seemed to sense my fear and suddenly stopped just a few feet shy of me. I took a deep breath, looking into the shadow. It was human, and whoever it was had height and body mass on their side.
I felt my heart constrain in my chest as the person stepped forward, into the light that was shinning from the moonlight, through my windows. "Good Morning," He smirked.
My heart stalled and I stepped back, tripping over something and almost falling on my face. I steadied myself and tried to shake off the embaressment I felt. "It's you. Of course." I remembered the dream then, he had simply woken me up to haunt me in real life? I watched him, expecting him to suddenly fade away, or step through a wall but he did neither. He stood in my bedroom as real as I was. Taking a few steps towards the wall my dresser was on he rested himself against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest he looked at me. The look on his face sent a wave of chills down my spine, and a heat wave through my neck and face.
"How rude. I don't even get a hello?" He prompted after a few short moments of silence.
"No! Now get out!" I snapped, taking a few steps closer to him.
He shook his head with a smirk. "I can't."
"What do you mean you can't? You found your way here didn't you? Than you can most definitley find your way out. Besides, how did you manage to get by the gates and security guards." I snapped, irritated that my own thoughts could haunt me at almost four in the morning. Didn't they take holiday's or something?
He scoffed, "Please, what do you take me for? Do you really think a few human guards and an iron fence is going to stop me? I mean honestly. Think about it, you have an alarm system and it didn't sound. Yet, I'm in you're bedroom."
His eye brow rose, a grin on his face. I felt my blood run cold. He was right, the house was armed with an alarm system. Even the slightest touch of our doors or windows would send it off--screaming into the night. Yet, here he stood standing in front of me. Not even looking the least bit concerned. He found me staring at him and smirked.
"What is this all about?" I finally asked.
He chuckled. "I thought you'd never ask. Actually, I was beginning to believe that you were as stupid as I had orignally thought. But you prove me wrong."
I growled. "I don't appreciate your insults. I don't know about you, but you aren't suppose to inslut people in their own home, it isn't polite."
He smiled, but I could tell that he didn't care. "Alright, don't get your panties in a bunch."
I blushed. "Is this a freaking game to you??"
His smile faded then. "No, it's not." He sighed, stepping away from the wall. "In fact I am pretty sure you've realized I am not a figment of your imagination."
I shrugged. "I'd assume not."
"The necklace," He stated, pointing towards my nighstand. "put it on you, it's the only thing that can protect you for now." I looked at him for a moment before I decided I'd listen to him. I reached over my bed and grabbed the necklace, strapping it across my neck and then I looked at him. "Okay?" I pressed.
"I guess now I can explain." He said with a smile.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him. I sat down on my bed and he stood a few feet away from me. He wore the same outfit that he always wore whenever I saw him. A black top, black jeans and combat boots and a black trench coat to top the look off. He looked like he belonged in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, not in my human bedroom.
"Where do I start?" he pondered, his hand running through his hair.
"Your name would be good." I offered, it would be nice to actually call him his name instead of 'you' or 'violet eyes'. He looked at me like I had nine heads, and shrugged.
"Gage Rivers." He stated with a grin.
"Nice to finally meet you." I joked.
He grimaced. "Ok, so are you ready for the fun stuff? It just gets a bit crazy from here on out. And I swear to all thats powerfull, if you start to freak out and say you are crazy, I will have to shut you up."
I shrugged indifrently. Let's face it, how much weirder could this get? I was already talking to Gage, a guy I had assumed I had dreamt up, he snuck into my house and how he was telling me that the stuff he had to tell me was weird and it wouldn't make any sense. Yeah, I had gathered that much already. "Go?" I said.
"I'm here to let you know that you are needed as a warrior in a new war that is about to begin between the two cities of the homeland. I was sent on a mission to prepare you before the effects took a tole on your body," He said, waiting to see how I would react.
"Uhm ok." I said unsure of what I was actually supposed to say. "Homeland? Meaning it's my homeland?" I added.
He looked smug. "In a way, yes. However, you've been wrapped up in this human world for so long I'm not sure you'd be an asset. Frankly, I think you'd be more of a liability than anything. However, I do not question what I am asked to do. I just do it."
Was this guy serious? "Okay, so what am I and what exactly is the homeland? Why do I have to fight your battle and yeah I am human is that not where I supposed to be? In the human world?"
"You must'nt be so arrogant." He snapped.
"Am I supposed to accept what you are telling me and do as you ask?" I replied bluntly.
"No, that would be far to easy. For you anyways."
I rolled my eyes. "Oh yeah, so what are you dead? Or are you a fairy? Please don't tell me you're a vampire. I might just throw holy water on you."
He scoffed. "I am neither, and for the record, if you throw holy water at a vampire it will only make him mad."
I gave him a dirty look. "Then what the hell are you Gage?"
"He is an Immortal Prince, funny, I'd think you would have spoken to me first." Said a voice.
My blood ran cold. "Mom."
