The truth about things Part 3

Okay here it goes. I hope telling her won't make her think less of me.

Jisoo's pov~

" Sure " she said looking better than she did just hours ago.

I then quickly thought on what Dr. Angie explained to me as to what happened to Shayla.

She explained that Shayla was poisoned by an minion of our enemy to bring her to his side. And if it didn't work in the way he wanted to. It'll at least test out her powers. At same planted a seed. But Dr. Angie assured me that she completely did away with it. She said she was the best in her field, that she knew exactly what she doing.

After hearing that, I reluctantly put my trust in her.

Now seeing that Shayla was up, doing well. I'm glad I did.

" Jisoo ? What's wrong why aren't you saying anything ? You were lost in thought. Are you okay ? " Shayla asked as she placed a hand on my forehead as to check if I was feverish.

" I'm alright, " I reassured her, placing my hand in hers as when her hand left my head. And she gave me an dubious look. Like she didn't believe me, I could see why she would think that. I was spacing out at an serious time like this.

" We don't have time for this Jisoo. If you don't tell her then I will, " My brother stepped forward with an frustrated look about his face.

He was always this way. So stubborn and headstrong. His personality might put some people off. But he was loyal, it was one of his best attributes. But I couldn't let him steal my thunder. So I held a hand at his chest. An silent plea for " I've got this. "

" Shayla there's no easy way for telling you this. You are special especially to me... " I was cut off by someone clearing their throat. I believe it was the new comer Miguel.

I bit my lip intending to get on with it. But was cut off again by Shayla this time.

" Look Soo if it's hard for you say. I think I know what you're trying to get at. How can you be here when I thought you were a dream several months ago. To see you a person in my dreams in front of me. Then I thought I was going crazy. When I started to see things that I couldn't explain. And what happened to me that time before coming to the sick bay. I'm putting the pieces together, it's blowing my mind. So to speak, " she unloaded everything she was feeling to the audience before her without taking a breath.

" Well I'm glad you're somewhat level headed with everything. But there's more to it. Do you remember when you were younger ? More specifically when you almost drowned in a lake ? "  I asked.

That's when she looked shocked for the first time.

" How do you know about that ?! " she exclaimed.

" I know because I was the boy that saved you. I kept you from being in the hands of that monster, " I told her, at the end my response somewhat strained.

" What ?! That was you ?! I always that it was an angel or I could have imagined it. And I saved myself. I mean that's what the doctors, parents all told me. "

" Do you remember anything else retaining to when you were in the lake ? You have to think hard so you can better understand what I will tell you next, " I explained to her.

She went quiet, I could see she was concentrating hard. Just when she was about to give up. I placed hand on her head to give her the pushed she needed. I didn't want her to strain herself anymore than she had. And felt bad because I could've chosen this route. But in my defense, I wanted to see if she could handle it herself first.

" Oh my god ! I thought those visions you just showed me... I thought they just nightmares. I tried to tell the adults around back then. They said that it wasn't real, it would fade away with time. "

" But they didn't fade. Did they ? I got glimpses of them. But they did fade until... " I started to say but I didn't want everyone in this room to have the know on our own personal time. Meaning our shared dreams.

" It ending when I met you. Because I did still have them from time to time. Especially when I was stressed or down. That's why I tried my hardest to stay positive, " she answered for me, I took her hand in mine. To show her I cared.

" Okay enough with the love fest. We have more important matters. We just need to tell her what she is, help train her. So she can learn to control her powers. Before that madman comes, take her from us. We need all the help we can get at this point to defeat him, "  Tae hyun brashly interrupted us.

I felt the bubble of anger rising up in me for my brother. Because of the way he spoke, he had went too far. I know that time was of the essence but still we need to be on the same page to get anything done.

" What does he mean Ji soo ? I have to train but why ? And who's coming for me ? " Shayla asked looking shaken. I had to choose my words carefully on this one.

" Shayla. The monster we all been talking about. Is also the entity you saw in the lake that day. He was an Nightmare Collectors just like myself. But he turned evil, we had to imprison him there many decades ago, " I told her as nicely as I could put it.

She blinked, took in the new information. And looked down for a couple of seconds, back up. To look me straight in the eyes, said.

" Was his name Anton ? "

And collective gasps went through out the room.
