My Dreamwalker

Chapter three

Keira settled in back seat of a taxi with sigh. As she has predicted Ms. Merilyn refused to start, so she called Ben and had her towed back to his shop before coming for the meeting.

Ben has promised to call her back with total estimate later tonight. Hopefully it won't be more than she has in her account.

The meeting with the collector has gone great though. Dan Winston has agreed to all the terms. Apparently he came into money recently and got to know about the salvage of a sunken ship through a close friend. Just like that he decided to start a very expensive new hobby.

If everything went well, this could be her chance to make senior archivist at her company.

It will take some time to reach her home so she let her head rest back and closed her eyes. Immediately falling asleep.

She unlocked the door and walked in the living room and there he was, humping over completely naked Rachel.

Rachel noticed her and pushed Adrian away, unsuccessfully trying to cover her self with his shirt.

Adrian fumbled with his pants turning towards her but suddenly it wasn't Adrian at all. The man in his place looked familiar. She couldn't remember where but she definitely have seen him before.

With his blue-green eyes, dark long hair, white shirt with frill on cuffs...  Of Shit! He was the man from the painting.

"Release me." his deep rich voice sent a shiver down her spine and she woke up with a start.

"You okay there lady?" the cab driver asked.

"What?" she asked unable to understand what just happened.

"I asked are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."

If only he knew how close it was the truth, but instead of a ghost it was her mind playing tricks on her. Replacing Adrian with the man in the painting, just because she jokingly thought how a dead man would be better then Adrian earlier today.

She shook her head to get the image out of her mind before answering the driver "I am fine. Just fell asleep."

"Uh huh. Must be really tired. You slept the whole way." he replied just as he stopped by her apartment building.

She looked around unable to believe that she actually slept through the whole ride home.

"Gods!" Cinyras shot up from the floor. He has been trying for hours but was unable to find the connection to Keira's sub conscious again, and it was so frustrating.

The very first try went successfully, although he was just testing his long unused powder at that time. She must live close by to be home and asleep so soon, he thought.

She was having a nightmare and instead of calming her down first he demanded to be released. She was so shocked to see him that she woke up breaking the connection.

He hoped to catch her in a good enough dream next time. But that didn't happen and he couldn't understand why. Could it be a memory she was reliving in that nightmare?

She looked shocked. Maybe she was just trying to be awake. The bigger question is why he was thinking about her? She was just an opportunity to get out of this prison nothing more. "Good Gods! Why am I trying to convince myself?" he asked looking up at nothing particular.

"Did you hear that?" a female voice asked.

"Shush. We are on job pay attention on that." a male voice whispered.
