4 Chapter I: In Between... (Part III)

...

-“Hmm...” My throat feels so dry... Hearing noises...

The sound of the raindrops hitting the glass... and the whispering of the branches... the strong wind... all the sounds were mixed with the crackling sound of the wood in the fireplace...

For some reason, it feels so warm... I am warm... I am calm... Quietness made me feel for a moment I am no longer in the mortal world... yet, the strong pain that I am feeling in my head made me realise that I am still breathing...

The air was full of a sweet scent... it is so pleasant... I know this smell... it’s quite nostalgic...

Even though the warmness yet, there is a cold thing placed on my forehead... but, it didn’t matter... I simply didn’t care...

What I cared for was this warm and gentle touch... A warm touch caressing my face, I want more of it, yet I feel like it’s slipping away from me...

I want to move toward it... I want to grab that warm touch back to me... yet again, my body failed me... I feel so tired to even move... I am trying to open my eyes... I want to know the source of it...

Again, I couldn’t... It’s so foggy to see...

-“Shh... Have some sleep...” Even the voice that just spoke to me, with this tender tone made me feel safe...

Even deep down I knew to whose belongs this voice to yet, I didn’t care less... I just wanted to be a little more selfish a little more greedy...

I’ve never thought I would feel safe since again... I want to keep his touche to myself even if it is just a dream... I am pretty sure that I am dreaming right now... Laying down on a cold bed all alone in a dark room...

I just hoped that if I am dreaming I want it to keep going even for a little longer...

Again, this careless touching caressing my face once more... this time I decide to catch it... I gathered my whole energy and caught it...

I don’t want it to leave me to slip away from my grab... I want it all mine...

-“It’s okay... I am here I will not leave...so sleep for now...” again with this tender tone that makes my heart flutter.

I am afraid if I sleep like he is asking me to do, this warmth will slip away and I will be left with only coldness...

But, I couldn’t resist the fatigue... I am falling asleep again... I want to stay awake a little longer, to not forget it the next time I wake up without it beside me...

-“I am... afraid... don’t...leave...me...please...” I tried my best to speak... I could feel the cold falling tears caressing my hot cheeks being wiped by this gentle hand... that is comforting me...

-“Don’t be... I will not...”

-“Promise?”

I could hear a tiny laugh coming out from his lips telling me it’s a promise...

I am glad... even if it’s not real... I am happy even it’s just an illusion...

So, I will sleep then...

...

Opening my eyes, to see the white unfamiliar ceiling.

-“Oh good morning Miss. I will go call the doctor to come and check on you.”

Oh, it was just a dream after all, for some reason I don’t know why am I disappointed by this fact.

-“Morning Miss RoseNoir, if you would excuse me I would do some check up on you.” The doctor said.

-“Everything seems fine. You can be discharged after you finish the serum. And don't forget to change the bandages. ” He added.

I just nod my head.

I wanted to ask who bought me here then I remembered that it is useless to know.

Finishing the serum, changing into my clothes and leaving toward the hotel to check out and head to the mansion.

After all, my day has ended.

In the end, I just saved that dream in the deepest place in my mind... along with that touch ...
