The Brothers of Sin-Black Blood

Chapter 5

A hard moment, an unavoidable moment.... rest while you can and prepare for your personal war.

It had been a while since I left Enya and the Excetra coffee house, I would say around some hours. We both decided that we could meet at any time in the near future as it was Sunday and she was quite tired from the week before and its schedule.

Things were more clear in my head then, even if some information that I had received in that evening only brought even more questions to me. I was feeling nervous at the thought that soon enough something will change, something will happen to me and I had no idea what it would bring into my life.

How could I  prepare for something that I hadn't perceive yet? At the moment I was clinging to my luck. There was so much that I wanted to know, not only about the island itself but about myself as well, I had to admit that I was afraid and I kept having the feeling of apprehension. I had never  in my life understood why people would get freaked out by the feeling of unknown, now it was visible to me why.

I was laying on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I was already changed into my night clothes even if it was only around nine o'clock, I felt weak and tired because of the line of events. Enya was right, I needed to rest regardless the reason and just be prepared for everything. I could of imagined that it wouldn't of taken a whole lot more incidents in that moment to make me break down, a pause was essential.

I closed my eyes even if the feeling of coldness surrounded me, the moment felt unreal like someone was staring at me but I couldn't hear breathing or anything. My heart started beating faster so I opened my eyes.

There was nothing but myself in that dark room.

I closed my eyes back and tried to fall asleep. The frigidness was emphasized by any passing minute so I found myself hugging my knees tight to my chest after covering up with a blanket, I felt so lonely and cold.

A hypothetical moment of silence followed, was I drifting away into the world of dreams? It felt so real yet I was aware it was just a delusion of my consciousness.

I was sitting on the same bed on which I had fallen asleep. I was staring at my wardrobes and book shelves that were placed parallel to my bed, leaned by one of the walls. The room was filled with people I didn't know, they were everywhere, looking into my wardrobes, chest and shelves, ravaging everything that I owned, violating my property.

Rage burnt deep inside of me as I stood up and screamed from the bottom of my lungs. "GET OUT! Get the fuck out of my house now!" but nobody would listen to me, they behaved like I wasn't even there.

It didn't take me long to give up. I took my coat and I left the house instead of waiting for the outsiders to do so. I left my new apartment and walked down the block staircase so I could leave the building as well. To my surprise the outside of the block wasn't the real scenery from the island. The place was identical to the area around my old block in Romania. Even the exterior of the construction looked like my dear old block.

As I was making my way to the small set of final staircase I caught a dark figure with the corner of my eye. I turned my head to a tall man covered all in a long black coat, even his head was covered. All I could see were a pair of icy blue eyes staring right into mine.

I lost my breath for a few seconds so I turned back to my way and started walking as far as possible from the block, I was frightened and I could feel a clear pain into my nape, almost like a wound formed there.

I was walking towards a different building, it was the one where my best friend used to live and where most of my childhood had passed. While I was walking I could feel something warm flowing down on my entire back from up under my hair. I caressed my nape and viewed my bloody palm.

The metallic scent was everywhere but I didn't mind it a second, I continued to walk until I reached inside the building, looking for a particular apartment. I opened the door widely. It was the same apartment from the island but in a different place and scenery. This version of my house was empty and cold, all my belongings where back into their place.

I let the front door opened like I didn't even care if someone would come inside. I hurried to the bathroom, I closed its door and let the water flow down into the bathtub.

My breathing was heavy and I felt like my body would collapse any second, it all  felt so real yet I knew it was a dream. What was this place...?

When the tub was half way filled with water I let my body fall inside of it without paying attention to still wearing clothes. The second my torso made contact with the water it turned into the bright color of my own blood and filled the room with the scent of it.

All of the sudden I heard a loud knock on the bathroom door and I heard the wood break with a heavy hit, I woke up on the very moment.

After I fully woke up I started breathing heavily and I sat on the bed rubbing my my temples and trying to calm my insane heart beating down. By far this had to be the weirdest dream that I had ever had and I wasn't the type to have normal or happy dreams either.

I looked around in order to make sure that I was back to my safe reality. Except for the coldness it all seemed all right.... It was only five o'clock in the morning but I knew for a fact that I had to pass sleeping fully for that night.
