The life I never wanted.

Chapter 4

Hi again. Okay so the fourth chapter is coming up. But first the answer to the riddle at the end of chapter 3 was a river. You could probably figure that out on your own or you saw the comment left by my annoying brother. Anyway, here's chapter 4. Enjoy.

Chapter 4:

*Dream*

I walked through the forest alone. The shadows danced across my body and the ground before me. Though most of the wildlife have gone into hiding for the night, the trees were still full of life. Even at this ungodly hour. I travelled through the foliage with a graceful step that I was unaware that I possessed. My hair was pinned on top of my head in an elaborate up-do and the pale blue dress I wore made my eyes stand out. The air around me was crisp and I could hear the leaves that littered the floor crunch underneath my feet.

Finally, I reached my destination. The babbling brook that sat on a cliff, overlooking the rest of the forest. The moon shone brightly from it's position above me, illuminating my features and giving my skin an almost ghostly glow.

Hands gripped my waist and I felt someone place their chin on my shoulder. I turned and snuggled into their embrace.Hisembrace. My love, my husband, my King.

"You look beautiful, my Queen." He leaned down and kissed me. It was filled with so much passion yet it was also extremely gentle. I pulled back to look into his eyes. Liquid emerald orbs filled with love. Love for me.

I looked at him with the same amount of emotion in my crystalline eyes.

"I love you, Lucien."

*End Dream*

I woke up in a cold sweat. Looking around my room with frantic eyes, I sat up and ran a hand through my tangled hair. Nothing looked out of the ordinary. Turning my head, I fought to control my erratic breathing and looked at my digital clock. 4:30am. Shit.

"What the fuck was that?" I asked as if expecting an answer from one the many contraptions in my room. I certainly didn't know it. I mean, what would cause me to have a dream of myself declaring my love for Lucien, who hadn't spoken a word to me and vice versa. And what was all that shit about me being a Queen and him a King? Damn. I've got to lay off of the late night snacks.

I laid back down and shuffled into a comfy position. Then, I closed my eyes and waited for sleep to claim me again as well as praying to God that I wouldn't have another wacky, mad as a hatter dream.

It was 8:00am when I woke up next. Rae wasn't there to pick me up so I had a little while to get ready before she arrived. Reaching over, I turned on my lamp and stretched whilst still sat in bed. I remembered the dream I had but decided to not even think about thinking about it. I mean it was too weird for words.

Getting up and thinking about school flushed any and all thoughts of the dream from mind. I grabbed one black and one green converse shoes (cause I like to mix and match), a pair of green jeans and a black shirt and then headed towards the bathroom. What? So I like to colour cooridinate. 

A horn blaring outside signalled Rae's arrival. Off to school. Hopefully, I'll have no 'issues' again today.

*Same Day, Lunch Time*

"Okay, Coke or Pepsi?" Asked Rae. The morning had gone by without a hitch and Trent and Shauna had gotten back together. At the moment we were playing the 'or' game. Which was basically where you chose the option you preferred the most.

"Coke." Shauna and I said.

"No, way. Pepsi." Argued Trent.

"Calm down. Next one." Interrupted Rae, "Umm, Damon or Stefan?" Her eyes twinkled.

Trent shifted from his position and slung an arm over Shauna's shoulder.

Said girl looked at him,"This one doesn't concern you." She turned back to me and Rae. "Stefan all the way."

"Nuh uh." I commented, shaking my head, "Damon is so much better."

Rae, seeing Shauna was about to release a retort, once again interrupted, "I definitely go for Damon, but anyway. Next one. Evans or Hemsworth?"

"Again, who?" Poor Trent looked clueless so I put him out of his misery.

"The guy who plays Captain America or the guy who plays Thor? Out of those two, I choose Evans but I'd still rather Tom Hiddleston." Trent gave me a funny look, "He play's Loki."

"Oh. Okay, I choose Hemsworth cause I think Thor is way cooler." He had a funny grin on his face which made Shauna stare at him for what seemed like ages. A cough from both Rae and I brought her out of her reverie.

Blushing, she muttered, "Hemsworth."

Rae nodded, "Well, I have to agree with Issae on this one, but I still don't get what you see in Loki." I just rolled my eyes instead of dignifying it with a response. I didn't really want to get into an argument about why I liked Loki the best. 

Our game came was halted when the bell rang and we quickly grabbed our things before heading to our lessons. 

My next lesson was Art again. Normally, I'd be excited to go but after my dream the night before, I wasn't too keen on seeing Lucien.

I still didn't understand it since and I hadn't mentioned anything about it to anyone, I couldn't ask for a second opinion. Maybe I was just going crazy or someone had slipped something into my food. Neither however, sounded plausible because one; I was already considered pretty weird. And two; it wasn't like I had any enemies who were psychotic enough to actually drug me.

My train of thought was derailed when I walked into someone as I was walking into the classroom. Looking up, I inwardly groaned at the person I came face to face with. Lucien.

If I thought he was hot fro across the classroom, up close he was absolute perfection. His green eyes seemed to sparkle but then, almost too late, I realized it was with annoyance.

"Watch where you're going." His voice was so smooth that my knees would have buckled from underneath me had there been no malice present in it.

I immediatly became defensive, "Maybe you should be less of an arse. All you've said to me is one sentence, and I can already tell you're an absolute dick." Without letting him answer I walked past him and sat down in my seat. I convinced myself then that my dream had no actual meaning to it. How could I love someone like him? He was an idiot, a jerk and far more good-looking than he deserved to be.

I sat through Art with a scowl on my face. Luckily though, I didn't draw anymore weird pictures. I felt a pair of eyes on me throughout the entire hour and I was pretty sure about who they belonged to. I just decided to ignore them, and kept my eyes on my own work.

When that dreaded hour finally finished I, as always, met up with Rae by her truck. She drove me home whilst we both sang at the tops of our voices along to 'Hammer Time' because it was playing on the radio. Well, we only really sung half the song as the other was lost in a mass of giggling.

I managed to shout goodbye to Rae once I got out of the truck. I was still laughing when I opened the door to my house. 

"Mum, Dad. I'm back!" I shouted whilst putting my keys on the table by the door.

"In here, Honey." Mum called back from the living room. I walked in there and smiled at my parents. It was then I noticed the couple sat opposite them.

A/N:

So there you go for chapter 4. The plot will pick up a little more in the next chapter. For now here is a  different riddle:

'Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are three words in the English Language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses everyday. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.'

Answer at the beginning of Chapter 5. Bye Bye.
