Be my Quest

Stalker and Creeper Alert!

Astheum's POV

As I got home from an uneventful day of school. The house although empty, still had the sense, the feeling home in it. I smile at myself while hanging my keys and jacket on the key hanger and coat rack. Walking into the kitchen to quickly get something to eat. I realize that something caught my eye. A shadow panning across my living room window. I quickly went into ninja mode briskly bolting through the kitchen to the living room. I lean out towards the window and saw that office guy trying to open the side door of our house. Unsure what to do I quickly move away from the window not wanting to get caught.

"Oh my goodness," I whisper to myself,
"I've gotta call mom!"

Waiting for my mom to answer felt like ages, decades, centuries of waiting, but finally she answers, "Hello?"

"Mom!"

"Yes? Honey what's wrong?"

"There's a man that works at the office he followed me home! Mom I'm scared I don't know what to do! He's trying to break in using the side door!"

"Oh my god! Sweetie! Please wait okay! I promise I'll be there as soon as I can! Don't panic go into the bathroom and lock the door."

"No mom I don't want you getting hurt!"

"No! I promise I won't I'll be there in less than ten minutes!"

"Ten minutes? Wait a second mom!" Then the line went dead.

Lucan's POV

My body felt nervous and afraid for some reason and I could not pin point why. I just felt these emotions, but they were not my own. It's been a while since I've gotten these feelings, but this is the first time I've felt them this intense before. My body was trying to stay calm, but everything about my mind was telling me no.

Astheum's POV

The anxiety was slowly starting to calm down and it always felt like this, but it was never this strong before. The pull came from a stronger place. It was as if I could just touch it and hold it and where ever it was, it was safe and home. I smile touching my heart because that was where the emotion was emitting off of. I felt better about walking to the kitchen to cook dinner. However, I was still cautious because something dangerous could happen at any minute of any second. As I begin to turn around my mother engulfs me in a huge hug and I scream my head off because it startles she me.

"Mom! Oh my goodness please don't do that ever! EVER! AGAIN! I swear you almost gave me a heart attack!"

My mom released me out of her tight grip holding a stern face saying, "You have a heart attack!? I swear you'll be the death of me ASTHEUM! Do you NOT understand that you're extremely beautiful and crazy guys will follow you home? Or even bug you? Are you not insane? Goodness I was so frightened for you baby girl!"

I looked at my mom and rose a brow.
"Me beautiful? Mom! Seriously! Why would you say this? I am not beautiful I never was and I never will be! Why do you think I get bullied at school? Why do you think no one talks to me at school? It's because I'm ugly and no one wants to associate with 'ugly' people. I'm not hungry I'm going to bed."

With that everything went quiet and I went to my room and shut the door. I did not even bother to open the lights. The moon's light was just enough to illuminate the room and help me figure out where I was suppose to be going. Grabbing my blanket and pillow I open the door to my balcony. Spotting my baby blue hammock that my mom had people install for me. I laid in it gazing at the stars and moon and listening to the sounds of the forest. Soon my mother came onto the balcony and opening my eyes I turn around to see her smiling at me with a tray of my soup, bowl of rice, and water.

I smile at her and move over so she could sit next to me.
"I'm so sorry mom. I was just upset and I know you said God made everyone beautiful and that he has a purpose for everyone, but I just feel like everything is crashing down on me. Nothing's going right. These dreams feel so real. So intense like I am going back in time for real. Like, if I could go back I would actually be there. I'm not crazy mom. I'm serious. please believe me."

My mom just smiles and hands me my tray of food saying, "Honey I don't know what to say, but I know that you'll find your way. In or out. You will make it and I promise you when you do all these little things will be worth nothing. It'll be just a phase and you'll grow to become the beautiful, strong, and brilliant girl I know you are. Finish eating and get some sleep you've got school tomorrow okay?"

I sigh and dump the rice into my bowl of soup and mix it up. As I take the first bite I moan at the taste of food and finish it as quick as I could, before it got cold. After having my fill I bring my dishes it down to the kitchen, put it in the sink, and wash up before I went back to bed.

"Astheum? Are you there?"

"Huh?" I said waking up in a garden full of beautiful flowers.

"Where are you?" The voice came out again and I smile touching the tree that always haunts me in my sleep, the huge Cherry Blossom Tree.

"By the tree. I remember this... Place... It feels so real like I could actually really touch everything and feel it." I touch the bark and smile at the familiar texture that greets my hand. There was someone behind me. As I turn around, I saw him. He was there, Lucan Crepuscule.

"Lucan."  I breathe out.

"How I've missed you love." I said jumping on him and wrapping my legs around him tightly.

I could feel his chest vibrating and his laugh was like sweet music to my ears.

"My, my, you have blossomed along with the millenniums Astheum. You've been too far from me. I can feel your feelings you know that right? Now tell me what has gotten you so sad and lonely Astheum?" He said cradling me in his arms. Taking a waft of his scent made me feel at home. His sweet smell enticing me and made me feel at home.

"Astheum?"

"Huh?" I said looking into his red orbs getting lost in them.

"What's gotten you so upset?"

"People have been quite mean to me calling me ugly. They've been making fun of me. I'm not pretty, I'm not attractive."

"Who dare say that you're not beautiful! I'll take their very pathetic souls!"

I look into his eyes bringing his head down to mine saying, "Lucan no. They're humans that don't know anything. Please don't."

"I've waited longer than thirty millenniums for you Astheum why? What took you so long?"
He said looking broken and lost, but before I could even answer. I was woken up by my mother.
