Between Dreams | Sander Sides Story

Chapter 6

Roman POV

The three of them pestered me about what happened. I wasn't sure myself. I collected my thoughts. They stayed with me for a while, asking me questions to receive no response. One they realised it was a too difficult task at the time, they decided to give me some space.

As they were about to leave I called Anxiety back. The other two turned around as well. They were curious to see what I wanted from him. Logic got the hint that this was a private matter. Patton who wanted to stay was dragged out of the room by Logan.

Anxiety stared at me with his doe-eyes. I forced myself to took away from his gorgeous face. I drew my eyes too the blanket covered flooring. I patted the bed beside me inviting him to sit down. My eyes remained on the ground but from the corner of my eyes, I saw him shift to his spot.

"What did you want to speak to me about?" Virgil asked keeping space between us.

"I thought you like to know what happened when I was out."

Anxiety looked around the room than pointed to himself, "You're telling me and not the nerd and his boyfriend?". He stood up and gestured to the door, "You sure you don't want to talk to them instead?"

"I want to talk you" I dragged out the letter U.

He looked at me in disbelief but be went with in. He sat cross legged on the floor in front of me. His head was in his hands. He signalled for me to keep talking. I was a little offended by him not accepting the offer to sit next to me but this wasn't the time to think about that.

I had finished telling him what happened when he went to the one of his other rooms. I had a quick peek into the room without moving off my spot.

The room appeared just as cramped as his bedroom. The only furniture in that room was his industrial metal desk and his desk chair with the back broken off. His room needs a makeover and some new furniture. This gave me an idea but once again not the time. I will add that to the list.

He arrived back with a yellow folder that he found on top of his desk. He spilled the folder's contentions onto the bed. I shuffled through the papers when something caught my eye. A sketch of a person on 5 cm by 5 cm piece of paper.

I looked back at Anxiety who stared at me as if he wanted me to share what I found. I assured him that it was nothing then when he turned away I placed it in my pant's pocket.

He told me who he received the information from, Dreamy. The one person no one has ever seen except Virgil. Something seemed off with this tale. We talked for about an hour before I decided to leave his room. I clasped on my canopy bed and rested my eyes.

I sat upon a hill in the distance was my kingdom. The garden this hill resides in towered over most of the kingdom and My Castle. This isn't the first time today I sat upon this hill. Melissa approached me. Her white slash stained with red. Her sword in her hand also stained with blood. She sat down beside me, her leg spread apart and her elbows rested on her knees. I lean back into the long grass. It tickled me face and intertwined with my hair. She leaned back onto the grass.

One of the trio was missing.

I felt something warm seeped through my clothing and make contact with my flesh. I jolted up. As I did this my eyes lowered over my friend beside me. Her sash was now completely red and so was the grass surrounding her.

She was bleeding. Why was she bleeding? I tried to block the wound but It was too late she had already lost too much blood. The putrid smell drifted through the air. It came from her body. Was this what death smelled like?

Something is off about this, this couldn't be real. She isn't dead. I leave her rested upon the hill. I was going to figure out what was happening. I trudged down the hill, the sky drew darker with every step I took. Soon enough it was pitch black.

"Hello" I heard in the distance.

It was a child. No, the child from before. The one from that dream place or daze I went too.

Did I make it there again.

Like before the atmosphere was dark but there was no water. I continued moving until my shoes were submerged in something. I kick my leg to discover... water. I had officially made it here. Wherever here was.

The child's voice echoed through the air. The sound soothed my ears. I was so relaxed. I couldn't explain why. I was in an unknown location virtually alone besides the kid who I couldn't see. I should be panicking out of my mind but I am not.

I felt a freezing hand grasp myone. I almost retracted mine on contact. Their hands were small and fragile. The pain from the ice cold hand was unbearable yet I wanted to bare it. I couldn't explain this feeling.

The hand belonged to someone's I hadn't held or seen in years. Not since that day. The day I can't bare to think about. I was being called. Not the time Thomas, I thought to myself.

"It's alright, you can go" the child loosened her grip on my hand.

I tighten mine. Not too much as not to cause discomfort for either of us.

"I won't leave you again" I said. "I-I lo-"

"Than move on"

I shook my head, tears falling from my face, "No, I won't"

The child let go and splashing sounds told me they left.

The calling go got louder. I couldn't remain here for long. I wouldn't give in. If I can't stay here mentally than I would have to force myself to go here physically and there was only one way to do that.

I woke up abruptly. I could feel the stains my tears left behind. My face was irritated. Thomas was still calling me but for once I don't plan on responding. I didn't feel like moving but there were things that had to be done. I left a note one and left it on Virgil's bed. I had a little trip I needed to go on. 

A/N| Can we talk about that second part of the video. I was so hyped when I watched it that I forgot to study for English. Four more assessments than I am free. Its the end of the school year where I am so It means I should be able to write more. There was a bit more to the chapter but I'll leave it for next chapter. Bye.
