The Other World

Chapter Fourteen: The Dreams I Fear

I roll over to my side so I'm facing Damon. He's laying on his back and the blanket is barley covering his shirtless chest. I slowly step off my bed making sure not to wake him. I collect my clothes from my draws then go in the bathroom. I take a quick shower then get dressed into a black half shirt that says 'life is hard' with my white shorts. I walk out and see Damon sitting on the edge of the bed. He has his head down looking at his phone so he hasn't noticed me yet.
"Morning sleepy head" I say. He looks up with a surprised look. he checks me out top to bottom and then smiles. he stands up and walks over to me and stands so close I can feel his body heat.
"Morning gorgeous" He says smirking. "Wanna walk to school?" He ask.
"Sure" I reply.
"Climb with me to my room" He says. He walks over to the window and looks at me waiting for a response.
"Fine but if I die-" he cuts me off before I can finish.
"I will be the one to blame" he says. I smile at him and follow his actions out the window. I copy his every move and I make sure not to look down. He offers me his hand as I step down from his window and I kindly take it.
"That wasn't that bad now was it?" He ask.
"It was terrifying but I will live" I reply. He laughs at me then enters his bathroom with his clothes. As I hear the shower turn on I look around his room. I've been in his room before but I haven't had a good actual look at it. It's a bit messy with clothes on the floor. His bed is made perfectly with his homework spread across it. He has posters of rock bands and cars hanging on his wall. I take this opportunity to look out his window into my room to see what he sees. I can see my bed and my nightstand.
He can see me sleeping...creepy
The shower stops and snaps me out of my thoughts. He walks out with just a towel around his waist. His hair is wet and messy and it suites him so well.
"I just forgot my shirt" he says while garbing a shirt from his dresser. He winks at me before going back in the bathroom and I just roll my eyes at him. When the door closes I walk to his bed and sit down making sure not to sit on his homework. I look at his homework is doesn't look like school work. There's a bunch of symbols and werewolf facts and stuff.
What's going on here?
"That's all stuff about my family's pack" he says behind me which makes me jump since I haven't even noticed his presence.
"It's a lot" I say.
"I'm trying to figure out how your a werewolf" he explains.
"Well wouldn't my parents be werewolves?" I ask.
"Yes but I know your mum isn't a wolf. She doesn't smell like one" he tells me.
"Smells?" I say more like a question. "Do I smell like a wolf?" I ask.
"Sometimes. Only when your eyes are glowing which is unusual" he explains to me.
"So my dad was a werewolf" I say. "Does every pack have a symbol?" I ask him.
"Yeah"
"The symbol on the jacket my dad gave me. Maybe it's a pack symbol" I tell him. He looks at me with a look that says 'I should of thought of that'.
"Gorgeous you and me are gonna hangout after school to sort this out but right now we need to go before your late"
"Wait, Damon wants to be early?" I say. He rolls his eyes while I giggle.
"Sorry for caring about your education" he says.
He takes my hand and practically drags me out his house.

When we arrive at school I straight away see Ashlee and Jordon waiting at the front. Jordon looks like he's talking to Ashlee but she's just searching for something or one. When she spots us she pretends that she was paying attention to Jordon.
"Hey guys" greets Ashlee.
"Hey girl wassup" I reply. "Hey babe" I say while kissing Jordon. When I kiss Jordon I get goosebumps just like when we first kissed. It felt magical but as soon as I open my eyes, I can tell their different. I close them again real quick and cover them with my hands.
"Joyce, you alright?" Jordon ask.
"Yeah just got dirt in them" I lie. After a few seconds of closing them I open then again and their normal.
Shit...that was close
"Damon can I talk to you for a second please" ask Ashlee.
"Joyce, you going to be fine without me?" Damon ask.
"Yeah you kids go ahead" I say with a smile. Damon nods yes and follows Ashlee's lead.

Damon's POV
I follow Ashlee to the oval and we stop at a giant oak tree. The tree looks old and grand. I look at it closely and notice there's been a heart carved into it with the initials JT and JS in it.
"That's Joyce's and Jordon's heart" Ashlee says. "This is their spot it's been theirs every since freshman year" she explains.
"So why are we here then?" I ask.
"We went on a date but are we together?" She says shyly. She looks at the ground and hides behind her hair. I hate making people cry when they are innocent but she isn't she's a vampire.
"Sorry Ashlee but I think being friends is probably best" I say tucking her hair behind her ear. A tear rolls down her cheek.
"Right of course, excuse me" She says while rushing away. I watch her leave until she's out of sight. I could help but feel sorry for her. I guess I shouldn't have played with her emotions. But I don't regret it since I found out Joyce is a wolf and put doubt in her relationship with Jordon. I look back at the tree and I have the urge to ruin their heart but I don't since I know Joyce would hate me for it.
"Hey" says a soft sweet voice. I look behind me and it's Joyce.
"Hey" I say back with a smile.
"Ashlee ran straight to me after you friend zoned her" she says. "Sorry"
"Sorry for what?" I ask.
"For making you take her on a date. I technically forced you into playing with her feelings" she explains.
"No it's all my fault" I tell her. "The only reason I did it was to try and ruin your relationship with Jordon" I explain to her. She looks at me and breaths in and looks at the ground.
"But, at least we found out something important that night"
"About that, when do you wanna go talk to Mr. Tinwell?" I ask her.
"What about now"
"Sure, let's head to his class."

Joyce POV
We walk to English and knock on the door.
"Come in" says Mr. Tinwell.
"Hi sir, I was wondering if we could ask you a werewolf related question" I ask him, unsure of how to word it.
"Close the door" the teacher says. Damon closes it and walks over and takes a seat at a desk. I walk over to Damon and sit at the desk next to him.
"I was wondering if, if I could be having physic dreams" I ask him. He looks at me curiously and gets out his grimoire.
"Why do you think it's physic?" He ask.
"Since other things in my dream have been real" I reply. "But that could just be a convenience" I say.
"Look, you being human means it's very unlikely but still possible" he tells me.
"But she's not human, not completely" Damon's says.
"Damon, shhh" I tell him.
"What do you mean not completely?" The teacher ask. I look at Damon as if I'm gonna kill him. He flashes his green eyes at me quickly and then puts them to normal. I think he is telling me that their showing.
"She is also werewolf, making her a half breed" Damon tells the teacher.
"It's alright Joyce is warlocks keep are words since we become bound to them." He says. " even if I wanted to tell you a secret, I'm magically not able to" He says. "That's how strong are word is"
"Thank you, sir" I say,
"Please call me Luke" Luke offers. I smile and nod yes in response.
"Well, it's very highly that someone cursed you to not be able to turn until your eighteen" He says. "But that's a very strong spell so you have this dream that is trying to warm you. Kinda like it's hinting that your life is not how it seems" He explains.
"But Jordon hurts me in my dream" I inform him.
"I'm sorry Joyce but it's a 50/50 chance if it's gonna happen" he tells me. "But you knew dating him that there was going to be a risks"
"Should I tell him?" I ask Luke.
"Only when you have it under control, until then try to avoid everyone but Damon. Your dangerous at the moment and you can't have people knowing about this other world" he explains to me.
"It's alright Luke I will keep an eye on her" Damon says checking me out with a smirk. I roll my eyes at him and cross my arms.

The whole school day Damon stuck by my side like glue, even when we had different classes. He even walked me home and hasn't left my house since.
"When are you leaving?" I ask him. He looks at me and pretends to think.
"Never" He says. I face plant in my pillow and try to fall asleep. But as I go to fall asleep I feel a warm body wrap around me. I turn around to face him and then I snuggle into his chest. Something about Damon just feels so safe. Like no matter what, I will always be safe with him.
"I won't let anything happen to you." He tells me while lightly kissing my forehead. After that I drifted off to sleep.
******
should Joyce still be with Jordon or leave him for Damon?
