MELINA

chapter sixteen

I woke up with a start and I felt hot sweat dripping down my forehead. I kept on thinking about the dream and was replaying the scene over and over again. Why did I dream about Olivia? What did the dream mean? What was going on?
I stayed awake for a few more hours and when I saw that sleep was not forthcoming, I decided to sneak into Noe's room and tell him about the dream I had. I kept on having a feeling that someone was watching me but, each time I turned back, I did not see anyone.
I finally made it to my brother's room and opened the door quietly because, I did not want to wake him up suddenly. I crept towards his bed and shook him gently. "Noe, Noe", I said but, I realized he was a very deep sleeper. I thought of a way to wake him up and I settled for whispering in his ear. I whispered his name in his ear and he jumped up suddenly. The expression on his face was priceless. He started talking fast "who are you? What do you want?
"Shhhh Noe it's me Melina. I have something to tell you". He relaxed and stood up to put on the lights. When he was done with that, he came back to the bed and sat down to listen to me. I told him all about my dream and he listened to me with rapt attention. When I was done, he looked so deep in thought and then I heard his voice. "Mel, I do not think that is an ordinary dream. I mean look at everything that has been happening, Ashley has freaking powers. How on earth did she even get it? I have never trusted Olivia for anything, so I am not surprised about this dream. I even think she has a hand in you not having powers when you were born"
When Noe said that, something sparked in me and I had this very strong feeling that he was right' "Melina, from now on, we have to be very careful. You know that both Olivia and Ashley are in this palace now and they will be watching your every move", I was silent for a while but, after some time, I agreed with Noe and stood up to go back to my room. I switched off the lights and headed back.
As I entered my room, laid on my bed and drifted off to sleep, I kept on having the feeling that someone was watching me.
