My Other Life

My Other Life (part 3)

My dream started and I was already scared. It started like this:

I was in a dark chamber alone. I didn't know where I was and I was scarred. I saw a door and when I opened it, there was a cliff. I stood there, just looking down. It looked like a very bright and sunny day, but I could not see the bottom. As I stood there, someone pushed me! I was falling and I was falling fast. I tried to turn and see who pushed me and I saw my father. 'Why father?' I screamed at the top of my lungs. He just looked at me in fury. Then, as I was about to hit hard I closed my eyes, waiting for the worst. But I never hit. I felt at relief even without opening my eyes yet. I guess this is what heaven feels like. Calming and soothing. I was lying down. I felt someone smooth over my hair. I opened my eyes for the first time from right before I hit. I saw him! It really was him! Zayn was looking at me lovingly. What are you doing here? I asked him. 'I saved you. I saved your life. You were falling fast.' He said still gazing at me as I lay there wondering how I was still alive. 'But how- why did my-' He shushed me. 'Why did you follow me? How did you know I was here?' 'I love you too much' He said as he leaned in to kiss me. But the old witch interrupted us. 'Hello my child.' She said so bitterly. 

That is when I woke up breathing heavily. There was just one problem with this nightmare. I did not know if this was because I saw Zayn and the witch earlier today, or if it was a dream warning or some kind of vision or prediction. I checked the sky to see what time it was. The moon was high in the sky and I knew it was no later than 11 o'clock. That night I went to bed wondering what It was that I needed to know. I convinced myself that it was only a nightmare and nothing more.

I woke up the next morning thinking about what I should do. Should I go and practice my arching? Or maybe I should go back to the wisps and let them lead me to my fate. Wait what? What am I saying? I should just go and have breakfast and then I'll think about what I should do.

Mother: Good morning dear.

Me: Good morning mother. What are we having for breakfast this morning?

Mother: I don't know. The cook said it was a surprise....

She looked at me like there was something on her mind.

Me: What is it mother? Is something bothering you?

She looked at me once again.

Mother: What happened to Zayn? Is he on a trip?

I just looked at her. I did not say a word. I just looked.

Me: Did you say, ZAYN, mother?

Mother: Yes dear, I did. Where is he?

Me: Mother, how would I know where he is!

Mother: I don't know but, I havn't seen him around lately.

I stood up and started yelling. My mother was surprised at my tone and I was to.

Me: WHY IS EVERYONE ASKING ME ABOUT HIM?! WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS MYSTERIOUS MAN NAMED ZAYN! MOTHER, IS THERE SOMETHING YOU NEED TO TELL ME?!?!

Mother: Crystal, you need to sit and calm down. What has gotten into you?

At this time, my father walks in.

Me: Mother please tell me. Who is this Zayn and why does everyone keep telling me about him? I do not know who he is and I am very confused.

Father: Zayn? Did you say Zayn, Crystal?

Me: Yes father. Do you know anything about him? Everyone keeps telling me about him.

Father: Uh... Um... No. No.

Mother: Fergus! What are you hiding?

Father: Uh.. Nothing, I'm going to go out for a morning stroll.

Me: No father! Tell me what it is now!

I had never spoken to my mother or my father like that. EVER. I was hoping I would get away with it later.

 You see reader, I did not know this and neither did my father but the only way the spell can be broken is if I get a special flower from deep in the woods and both me and Zayn hold it at the same time and have a true loves first kiss. How was I to find it? Find out in the next chapter!
