Wither Sickness Book 5: Legends Remembered

Visions

I bite my bottom lip and take a deep breath, "Alright...like I said before I'll think about it."

"Ok Jesse," Petra says, raising her eyebrow slightly, putting her hands on her hips. Sylvia crosses her arms, faintly nodding her head. "Guess we'll see you later, that is if you come," Sylvia says, her foot skidding across the concrete.

"Alright guys see ya." I say, faintly waving at them as they start walking away. "See ya Jesse," Petra and Slyvia say in unison. I begin pondering thoughtfully, my hand underneath my chin. Olivia's warm gaze turns to me. "Don't worry about the rebuilding Jesse."

A soft sigh escapes my mouth and a grateful smile forms on my lips.

"Thank you," I mumble quietly.

Olivia nods and Axel's dusty finger trails over some ash. "No problem Jesse."

"I'm gonna go get some materials, Liv." Axel perks up, getting up from his kneeling position. "Hey Jesse," Axel says striding over to me, "Hey Axel," I reply softly as he walks past me.

My eyes meet Olivia's soft gaze and she shrugs, putting her green beanie on her head.

"Are you sure you don't need any help?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "We got it Jesse besides you don't need anymore stress on your shoulders."

My gaze falls to the floor and I bite my bottom lip, "B-but-."

"No Jesse. We got it. You need to rest anyway. You know you don't want an angry Ivor storming over here only to see you working."

I chuckle nervously, "I forgot about that..."

"Knowing you, I bet you did," Olivia says, a chuckle following afterwards.

"So how are you and Lukas doing?" Olivia asks out of the blue.

I'm caught off guard for a few moments and a quizzical gaze meets my blank eyes.

"Fine... Just fine!" I quickly blurt out, noticing the drastic silence. Olivia raises her eyebrow for just a second.

"So how are you and Axel doing?" I ask, Olivia only for her to blankly stare at me, her arms crossing over the other.

"Don't blankly stare at me like that Olivia, you know what I'm talking about."

Olivia coughs, her voice lowering to a whisper, "Were doing just fine."

"Took him long enough to ask you." I whisper back, a small grin on my face. "I could say the same about you and Lukas you know." Olivia quickly replies, a large smirk on her face.

"Haha very funny," I say playfully punching Olivia's arm. The soft jingles of bolts echo into the air and Olivia glances at me sadly, her ebony eyes glimmering softly.

A pang of guilt stings my side and I mentally curse myself for spoiling such a happy moment.

"So how are you doing?" Olivia asks, her sweet smile growing bigger.

"I'm...alright. Could be better could be worse type of thing." I reply, trying my best to hide the hurt in my voice.

"That's understandable. A lot of things have been going on lately," Olivia says softly, gently placing her hand on my shoulder.

As soon as she does that a sudden emotion overcomes me and I have a vision.

Blood. It's everywhere, staining the walls and the floors.

My ear catches the sound of wailing and when I turn I see Olivia, her hand cupped over her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

My foot glides forward and the loud clash of swords catches my attention.

"Come on Liv we got to get out of here! Now!" Olivia sullenly glances up at me and shouts could be heard.

My gloved hand wraps around her wrist and I attempt to pull her towards me, "Come on Liv!" Olivia shakes her head and she shrieks as she's suddenly plunging downwards, the floor underneath her collasping.

Our grip separates and she lands on a floor below. Instantly soldiers begin crowding her and I was about to jump down when something extremely hard collides with the back of my head and the last thing I see is an enchanted sword impaling in Olivia.

I'm brought back to reality when Olivia shakes me roughly. Tears prick the corners of my eyes, my body trembling with fright.

"Jesse you okay?" Olivia asks me, my mind foggy. My head begins to pound and I can't think straight.

"....I....I'm fine," I bite my bottom lip, tears quickly welling up in my eyes.

I attempt to get up, but a sudden yank makes me stop. Ugh....Stupid metal!

"Jesse your not fine," Olivia pauses, "Whatever it is you don't have to hide it."

My shoulders slump at her words and my gaze uneasily falls to the ground.

A long sigh escapes my lips, "I've been having visions."

"Visions?" Olivia repeats. I nod, "Their....kinda disturbing," I say, my voice wavering.

"What are they about?" Olivia asks gently placing her hands on my shoulders.

I take a deep breath. "I'm not sure. Theirs always something with blood in it and they might be about the war."

"Have you told anyone...else?" Olivia asks, gazing at me solemnly.

"Besides you, Lukas," I say sincerely. "And it's been getting worse. I...I don't know how to handle it anymore. It...just happens."

I blink back tears and an unsettling silence falls between us, the streets becoming oddly quiet.

Olivia's mouth is open slightly, her eyebrow furrowing. "Why didn't you tell anyone else?"

"...It's not that big of a deal."

"Jesse! Don't say things like that," Olivia chides me, "Of course it's a big deal."

"I'm sorry," My gaze falls on Olivia, "It's....just I don't want everyone worrying about it."

My body is still trembling and I bite my bottom lip. "It's OK Jesse."

My gaze turns to the beamning sun. "Liv. I'm really sorry, but I-I..really should get going now."

"It's fine Jesse...," Olivia sighs slowly, "Just if you need anything you know where to find me."

I nod gratefully, getting up from my uncomfortable position. Olivia helps my up, her arm around mine.

I can't feel her arm though which saddens me, but I quickly brush it off. "Thanks Liv."

Olivia hums, nodding her head. "Just do me a favour Jesse. Please don't put any extra stress on yourself."

I sigh unwillingly, "...I'll....try."

"See ya later Jesse." Olivia says.

"See ya Liv." I reply and with that we both head our separate ways. I slowly walk towards the gates of beacontown, if anything I gonna need my armor and sword.

Better safe than sorry... I suppose.
