The Dream

Chapter 13

Aaron's POV

It was more than 6 hours since I came out of my room and I couldn't get an ounce of sleep. Way too many things were happening at once and now I had triple more the number of questions I had before knowing the new information. I finally dozed off thinking about Alexis' beautiful eyes and her voice landed in my dream again. It removed a huge amount of worry off my head and realized,even in my sleep, that I finally found someone I could share and relate to.

Alexis' POV

"Aunt Elizabeth....I would like to talk to you if you don't mind." It was seven in the morning and I was planning on skipping classes today to get some answers. So I hesitantly asked her.

"Sure Alexis! What is it?"

"Do you happen to know a Steve Moyer?" I tested her reaction. I felt guilty for doubting my aunt but I really had no choice at this point of time.

But to my horror, she did exactly what I wished she wouldn't do. A "yes-i-know-him" expression came and swiftly disappeared from her face. I realized she was fighting back her emotions. This is going to take more than a question I decided.

After what seemed like billions of seconds she answered, "Well I've heard of many Steve's at my age now. So who might you be talking about honey? Is someone troubling you?"

Troubling me? It looked more like my aunt was troubled than me but I had to end this here. 

"Aunt Lizzy..I know you know exactly who I'm talking about. This person claims to know you and that you have lost all sorts of contact with him ever since he adopted "the kid" you asked him to. Aaron Cross is no one but the guy I introduced you to yesterday and he lives with the Moyer's who adopted him. So tell me why you blackmailed Steve and tell me who my parents are. And tell me how are Aaron's parents and my parents connected.Tell me if you really are my aunt. Tell me what is going on! I don't knwo who to believe and who not to anymore!" I burst into tears. This emotional part was not a part of my plan but I guess I just couldnt take it anymore. 

"Okay kid...slow down! One at a time! Don't cry..please come here!" She motioned for me to come closer but I refused. I wanted answers and now.

"No..please just tell me. I'll feel better if I know things. Please!" I half begged and half shouted. 

She suddenly got up and asked me to follow her. I did..and she took me to  a room in the hige mansion that I've never seen downstairs...and guess what she did?

She turned around and walked out the room and locked me in. 

What?

Yeah..I had the same reaction immediately but what just happened was not getting registered into my head. Once I realized what happened, I started banging on the door.

"Aunt Lizzy..Please open the door! Please! Why are you doing this? Please! Just open up and talk to me! I'm sorry for pestering you!"

I went on and on shouting. She didn't seem to care and then it struck me that the person I wasn't supposed to trust was her. Not Aaron's parents..I really needed help. Whatever was going on had something to do with Aunt Elizabeth and it wasn't in a nice way. It was definetly in an evil way. Luckily for me I had my phone and when I started looking around the room I realized it was a bedroom furnished with a bed and a closet with clothes and a computer. So she wasn't that bad was she?I mean I've seen in some movies where people get locked up in rooms with no facilities at all! So I kinda had the feeling this wasn't going to be so bad. I had to find a way for help and it then struck my mind that I should contact Aaron right away...he would know what to do right?
