Chapter 39

39|Grydice Island

Carmen is a common name, isn't it? Maybe Alexander's nickname is Carmen. I couldn't take my eyes off that tattoo, I replaced his hands from my waist. He gazed at me, with a smirk drawn over his face. I scoffed and folded my arms over my chest.

"Carmen, who is that, exactly?"

"My girlfriend, who died."

I nodded, took a step back, and mouthed 'Right?'

It's just a coincidence, his girlfriend's name was Carmen. I saw him in my dream, where both of us were in some periodic era. It's all just a coincidence.

"You look terrified, is there something wrong?"

"No, it's just.  How did she die?"

"She was stabbed by a bunch of half-demons and then she drowned in the river."

"What?", My head started to hurt, once again, I placed a hand over my head began to groan as the pain started to consume me.

I got down to my knees, and closed my eyes, I felt a pair of hands grabbing me by my waist, promptly and I opened my eyes to get a glimpse, Alexander carrying  me towards my bedroom.

°°°

I opened my eyes, to the sound of the water, I hunched up and observed my surrounding,  It was a market, everyone was busy doing their work, a bunch of women passed by my side, chatting and carrying a bucket of water.

They were wearing a long gown, and a long cloth hanging around their neck. They didn't seem to notice. I was still wearing my trousers and t-shirt. I looked like a fish out of water. I pinched my skin, in case it was a dream, but nothing happened. I  started walking and looked back and forth.

"Beautiful, isn't it?", A familiar voice came from behind,  I twisted to see Alexander standing with his hands on his back. He was smiling. I backed away and started running away from him.

While running, I managed to glimpse back, but he wasn't there, suddenly I bumped into someone. It was him. I once again tried to run, but he grabbed my arms and pinned them behind my back.

"Let me go!", I struggled against his grip, which got even stronger with every second.

"Just listen to me. I am not going to hurt you."

"But you are hurting me now."

He let go of my hand, I stumbled a little and folded my arm over my chest, retaining some distance from him.

"What's this place?"

"I am in your head."

"What?"

"I know it's crazy but you have to believe me."

"You didn't answer my question, What this place?"

"Grydice Island."

Grydice island, I remember. Those journals mentioned this place, Pathiamenos, that journal belonged to this person.

"Why am I here?"

"This is going to sound crazy but your name is not Abrianna Ray Abellson it's Carmen Arthur. "

"Shut up! You can't call me by the name that doesn't belong to me."

He advanced towards me, I backed away, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him, and dragged me towards god knows where

"Where are you taking me? You can't just pull me like this."

"Just keep quiet."

"Why will I listen to you?"

"Because I am the only one who can save you from getting killed."

"What are you talking about?"

He stopped and turned around to glance at me. I glared at him and did something stupid, I pinched his hand, hoping that he might leave my arm but he just glanced towards my arm and then back at me.

"You have been receiving threats, haven't you? And trust me it's gonna take more than a pinch to fight those guys."

He said with his voice filled with sarcasm. Being embarrassed I gazed away and asked.

"How do you know that?"

"I told you I was in your head. Now come with me I have something to show you."

He held my hand and directed me towards a castle. We stood in front of a huge gate, two muscular men stood on either side of the gate with a shield and a spear. I waved my hands in front of their face but they didn't give any reaction.

"They can't see you. This is just a memory, remember."

I glanced upwards admiring the architecture. A smile spread over his face when he gazed towards me.

"Want to go inside."

"How?"

"Just hold my hand quickly, or else we will be late."

"Late for what?", I held his hand and stared at him for an answer.

"You will see."
