His Fallen Angel

Chapter 9

 Mercury POV

   * Dreamland *

   I'm in the cottage, on the couch, with Venus and a game I can't win and then I heard. BUM! BUM! BUM! Suddenly the power goes out. Venus goes to check the electrical panel ,while I look for candles and flashlights. I came back to the living room and leave everything on the table, but she's not here. I wait 10 minutes, when I smell fire coming from the bedroom. I head to the stairs to see smoke and flames. There is another BUM! Lightning struck us, but how?It's possible! It doesn't matter! I go looking for Venus. I find her and she tries to tell me something, but I can't hear her, my ears are ringing. I feel pulled by the hand and led to the door. Venus stops abruptly and I hit her small figure, the fire spreads. She tells me something and pushes me outside through the door when it catches fire. The fire reached the kitchen. The cottage exploded, with Venus in it. I fall to my knees and remember what words she tried to tell me, "Take care of yourself dumbass, I've always liked you in my own way."

"NOOOO! VENUS !!!"

* Dreamland off *

      I wake up in my own sweat and hear the source of the nightmares. Outside is a thunderstorm, my biggest fear. When I was little, the tree next to my room caught fire in a flash and the fiery branches fell on my window. Eventually, my room was on fire and I got scared, I couldn't move while the flames surrounded me, but Alex saved me. He saved me from there and took me to his room, I cried all that scary night. I couldn't get over that trauma, it was like I was burning in the fires of hell. I get out of bed and go to see my goddess, the source of my strength. In addition, I did not want the dream to come true and I will stay with her until the storm passes. I reach her bed, but no one is under the covers.

   "VENUS!!! Nooo !!!!" She's not there. Where is she? What happened to her? She never woke up during the night, I've checked her before.

   I go down the stairs, I check the kitchen, the living room and the bathroom, she's not there. I destroyed the house. I don't understand where she is. Where is she? She ran away. Maybe she's out. I take my sweatshirt and run away. When I go outside I'm hit by a strong wind and small drops of water trickle down my face, she's not here. What would I do if I were Venus, where would I go? Wait, she doesn't know any place here! She will be lost! I look down, in the wet ground there are traces of footsteps. Thank you god! It's the first time I'm glad it's raining! I follow them until the tracks change direction towards ......... the beach. Why would she go there?! I see trampled leaves and branches, plus a gift of fireflies. I don't think she was following the fireflies, or maybe !? At every step my heart beats faster and faster. What a tutor I am if I lose her after a week! I should have put that locator bracelet on her. If I lose her forever, how will she know how much I love her !? That's it, I can't anymore !! I start running as fast as I can, my lungs are on fire.

   I get to the beach, but I don't see her. I walk along it for a while looking for her. I start running, when after 10 minutes in front of me are two people, one on top of the other. Yuwy! Disgusting! Initially I wanted to ignore them, but I remember that I have no neighbors ,other than animals and only I am allowed in this area.

   I hide among the nearby trees as I approach the couple. I am very close to them, so as not to be seen, and I notice a colored hair, in my mind there is a scene that I will never forget. That girl is
