Dreamer Of Reality

Chapter 9 ~ (Grave Dancers)

It is indeed hard to look at them all working on opening his grave.. Are they even serious ?

"Guys... What if we didn't find the letters in his grave? I mean that won't help" I said while looking at them all removing the sand and working as hard as they can.

It looks like my words reached Jake. He stopped digging in the sand and looked at me with wonder.

"It is Alice's idea..." I raised an eyebrow at his words. Alice's idea? And you just obey her without using your mind?

"Thank you love! You are talking like we are her slaves." Onur said between heavy breathes.

I don't know what is more embarrassing, watching them work hard without helping then or saying my thoughts out loud..

"Both love." Onur said again. Okay Amy! Stop it!

Without uttering a word, I came near them and started working with them.

"In the letter you got, did you notice something weird?" Onur asked calmly. I didn't notice he was standing beside me.

"No, it was piece of an old letter I wrote before to Luc." I answered him calmly trying to work hard so we could leave as soon as possible.

"You mean someone wrote it?." He asked with frown lying on his eyebrows.

"No, the exact letter I wrote. Someone ripped piece of it." I answered him and looked at him straight in the eye, wondering why he would ask that question. Then it crossed my mind.

Onur got a letter too, maybe there was something weird in his letter.

"What was written in yours?." The words left my lips without my knowledge.

"It was some memories Luc and I shared, but it was written on a paper, like someone was telling a story." He kept quite for seconds then he said, "at the end of the letter, there was a threat.... I'm sure you didn't kill Luc, but be sure you wasn't that good friend he thought you are. Go to the place where your dreams are truth, go to the place where everything you wanted is real but with someone else. And you will find me waiting for you to take everything you wanted. That what was the threat."

"I don't get it, why did we come to Luc's grave?" God damn it! A threat?!

"The place where my dreams are truth is my old house, which is yours now, everything was perfect when I was living there. My life was like a dream." WHAT! "The place where everything I want is real but with someone else. Err.. back then Luc and I used to play together and pretend that everything we want is buried under the ground, and the writer said someone else therefore i thought he was talking about Lucas, So the bes-"

"But why would the sender threat you? Why didn't I get a threat too? And you came looking for a sender under the ground?."

"Amy, He wouldn't just say (Hi there! I'm the sender of that creepy letter, nice to meet you.) He will give us clues to find him. And about the threat... You were good with Luc, I was good with him too." A dark emotion crossed his eyes but I couldn't put a hand on it.

"But?" I said as calm as possible, wanting to know more. I looked around and noticed that everyone is looking at us.

"I did something wrong. Well, I didn't mean to do what I did. It just happened."

I was going to ask him more about what happened, but Alice's brother yelled at us, taking our attention to him.

"I found an envelope!" He said with horrid written all over his face, holding a white envelope.

"WHAT!" We all yelled together.

I was going toward him to take the envelope, but I froze in my place when I noticed someone standing at the top of Luc's grave. He was wearing black cap with a black long coat. He was smirking at me.

I looked back at Alice's brother, which his name is Don I guess, and noticed he was looking questioningly at me. He looked up and I did too, but we didn't see anyone!

"Guys, someone is coming! Hurry up let's get out of here." Jake yelled and we ran as fast as we can until we heard Alice's voice calling us for help. We went back to her and found the sand she was standing on was like two meters at least deeper now, and she was holding what looks like a wooden rod with a paper wrapped around it with a thin thread.

Everything happened so quickly, taking Alice out of what used to be Luc's grave, Onur holding me, running to the car, the old mystery man coming close to us, riding the car then going to God knows where.

"The envelope is exactly like mine, but it's empty!." Onur's voice pulled me back from my shock.

"The letter is here." Alice said shoving the piece of paper that was wrapped in the rod to Onur. Even though Alice is really strong, what happened few minutes ago really made her a little bit shaken.

I looked at Onur and found him comparing two similar letters. "So, you opened his grave and this letter was with his bones?." I asked breathlessly.

"I didn't even reach his coffin! This envelope was on the sand!." Don said.

"When I tried to get out of the grave, something hanged on my feet, then the sand went deeper and I found the rod. It looks like whoever putted that envelope there didn't want us to get out easily." Alice's word were like a slap on the face.

"Or maybe Lucas cursed us all for opening his grave." All of us looked at Jake like he has gained a second head, but the truth he only gained a slap on his head from Onur.

"I said MAYBE, bitch!." Jake said while rubbing his sore head. "It really looked easy in The Grave Dancers movie." Jake mumbled to himself.

"Where are we going?" Alice asked. "What is written in the letter?." I asked.

"Alice, we are going to my place. Amy, we will see when we reach my place." Onur answered us both. His place? Why?

"Why are we going to your place?." I asked quietly because suddenly I really felt tired.

"Because my parents are not in the town." Onur said and his voice mirrored mine.

Suddenly I jogged up, parents! I haven't talked to my parents since I left the house that day!

"What's wrong?" Jake asked with raised eyebrow.

"I need to call my parents! Oh my God I can't believe I forgot! I'm sure they are freak-" Alice interrupted me mid sentence.

"I called them and told them you will be staying at my place for this week, so you wouldn't get bored in your vacation." This girl is amazing.

I relaxed in my seat and thanked her. I took my phone from my pocket and checked my messages, there was one from Mark telling me he is going to German for few weeks and he will come back before the school starts. I texted him back wishing him a good flight and asking him to have fun.

My eyelids suddenly felt heavy and after few minutes of collecting what happened in the last few hours I agreed with Jake, it really looked easier in the movie. I fell asleep on what seemed like a tanned-skin pillow.
