Dimensions Apart

Chapter 4: Peculiar Dream

Therese's POV 

  I enjoyed my time with Ken. He isn't so bad after all. Only our first meeting was. He was a fun young man once you get to know him.

  He looked at me with his deep emerald eyes and interrogated me,"So what business do you have at the Northern Village?"

  I held my laugh and endured the tingling sensation at my stomach after sharing some funny moments we both had with each other and I finally replied,"I'm going to visit a relative. It has been a while since I came here."

  Seriously? Way to go Therese. What if he asks you who that 'relative' is? What are you gonna tell him? Sure, you're good at making up names but what if he tails you on the way to that so called 'relative' of yours? Tsk.

  Didn't see that coming... "How about you? What are you gonna do there?" I threw a question back at him just in case.

  He scratched the back of his head and swayed his pale blonde hair to the side and said,"I was tasked to gather some herbs from an old friend."

  I gave him a smug look and he just smirked at me then we started telling each other stupid things and laughed our heads off.

***After a few hours***

  We took a lot of twists and turns. Now we're finally here!

  We only just met yet we act like we've been friends for years and now we're going to say our goodbyes as we part.

  "I guess this is good bye for now. Take care and be careful Ken!!" I smiled at him cheerfully.

  "Oh... Bye and by the way, you're the one who has to becareful. You tripped on the way here!"

  I let out a small laugh and answered,"I can't help it. Nature has been fooling around with me lately." I pouted and he just chuckled.

  After that, we went on our ways but I took one last look at him before leaving.

  He reminds me of someone but I just can't recall who. *sigh*

  I roamed around and found a house. Of course, somebody is in there. But I can always sneak in.

  Great timing. The moon just crawled its way up to the sky and the persons inside of the house are already asleep.

  I sneaked in their backdoor and made my way to the living room. I took some of the pillows on the couch and a blanket from their laundry at the back and went to the attic quietly and slept there.

***Time skip***

  I woke up and to my surprise, the family in this house is still asleep. So I returned the stuff I took and sneaked out of the house.

  I took a morning walk at the market and my talented hands took some goods without being noticed. Security here sure ain't tight.

  "Where should I go next?" I wondered while walking at any path my feet could possibly take.

  I ended up at the field. It was peaceful and very relaxing. I laid down and drifted off to sleep

  "Therese!"  Someone kept shouting my name over and over again. "Therese!"
