*The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams* - Eleanor Roosevelt

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Everyone is back sitting in the living room but there is complete silence. Charm is currently rattling through her brain, trying to understand everything she was just informed about her own life. Logan is worrying about Charm, mentally praying for her not have a panic attack or a mental break down. Celeste is also worrying about Charm and trying to puzzle out what all of this could mean for not only just Charm herself, but everyone else.

Emmett, who is too much of a clown to take things seriously, but always lights up the mood, is currently too busy checking Celeste out while wondering what she has to offer underneath the clothes he gave her. A couple minutes pass, then Charm takes in a deep breath, “So, how do you guys about this prophecy and my supposed destiny?”

Logan and Emmett steal a glance at each other. Emmett nods before opening his mouth to explain everything. “Well to have all the answers you’re looking for, I need to start from the beginning…There are 2 spectrums to all of this, the Native Spectrum and the Supernatural or Unknown spectrum. We” Emmett signals himself and Logan. “Know about a bit about the Native spectrum although we come from the Supernatural spectrum.”

“I’m still very confused.” Charm states. That’s where Logan comes in. “What Emmett is trying to say is that there is another world or better said more living beings are out there aside from humans, good beings and bad ones.”

“So, what you’re trying to say is the Supernatural exists?” Celeste asks. Logan hesitates at first but nods.

“There’s no way in hell! You guys are nuts. I’m out of here!” Charm exclaims while getting up to quickly exit the house. But Logan gets to the front door before she barely moved an inch with unexplainable speed.

She gasps in fear and in shock, in her head she is wondering how the hell he got there so quickly.

“W-W-What the hell are ?!” Charm stutters while backing away.

“I’m human. Now Charm take a seat and just listen.” Logan calmly says, blocking the main exit for the time being.

“No! You’re not human! No human could move that fast!” Charm starts to panic. Celeste grabs Charm and leads her to the couch.

Emmett hands Celeste a water bottle for Charm. Shockingly enough, it didn’t take her long enough to calm down.

“Explain…” Charm croaks. “Maybe we should just stop it here and continue another day. You already have too much on your plate Charm.” Celeste suggest while comforting her.

Charm shakes her head in refusal. “It’s now or never.” Logan sighs in exhaustion as Celeste and Emmett sigh in defeat.

“Well like we mentioned earlier the Supernatural World exists and, in that world, there are Gods and Goddesses like the ones humans learn about in school. There’s a special goddess by the name of Nythia, she is the goddess of dreams and nightmares. She is one of the main leaders that keeps the Dream World in balance. She created these people known as “Dream Warriors”, who are meant to protect the Dream World, these warriors can dream walk. Dream walking is the ability to enter a person’s dream or subconscious and take control, the duration depends on what level of strength the warrior has. For example, if the warrior has a low level of strength, their control could be maximum 30 minutes give or take. Logan and I are Dream Warriors, we have the highest level of strength, speed as well as you witness with Logan. And we are reborn.” Emmett explains.

“Reborn?” Celeste asks in confusion.

“Reborn or reincarnated, that means that we grow old like any normal human and once we reach our time to go instead of going to heaven or hell, our souls are placed into a newborn baby, and we are born again.” Logan answers.

“Do you guys have memories about your past lives?” Charm asks with interest. Logan smiles, he realizes that she is finally calm, and everything seems to be getting better than a couple minutes ago.

“Yes, we do have those memories.” Emmett answers.

“So, does this story have a point to it, because it’s been a long morning. Charm should rest now after having all of this information piled on top of her.” Celeste sassily comments, but everyone acknowledges the fact that she’s just looking out for her best friend.

“We were ordered to search for the one of the prophecy and to protect her at all costs.” Logan replies referring the exact words his superiors had used when he and Emmett received their orders. Charm sits in silence, staring into space, lost in a trance.

Once everything is settled, she looks up at everyone, “Well I would like to go to our dorm to take a nice long shower and change clothes, if that’s alright with everyone.”

Celeste immediately nods as she gets up to go and collect her and Charm’s belongings. Charm sits there patiently waiting for Celeste while sneakily glancing at Emmett and Logan, from what she could observing oddly enough they looked they were somehow communicating with each other just by glances.

But what she didn’t know is that they are communicating through their very own mind-link.

‘What are we going to do Em?’

‘I don’t know. I do have to say that this turned out a little better than I thought would have.’

‘This wasn’t the plan at all whatsoever, we were supposed to gain trust once again then with time let everything come together.’

‘Logan, you and I both know that our time is limited right now, and this was resulted to be quite effective.’

As they continued to mentally rant between each other, Charm is using all her strength from hyperventilating and possibly passing out with the amount of pressure she is currently feeling.

“Ok I’m back, ready to go Charm?” Celeste asks once she enters back into the living room. Charm nods then stands up to exit the house, hoping to wake up to find out that all of this is fake and just a crazy dream.

The boys glance at each other then get up to escort the girls to Celeste’s car. Before going further Logan pulls Charm away to talk privately.

“Charm.” She looks up at him but continues to stay quiet, Logan takes that as a sign that she’s listening.

“I know this is a lot to take in and you think it’s impossible and way too crazy to be true. But if you look at me in the eyes you know that all I’ve been doing is telling you the truth. This is going to seem vague and strange but we were informed that there is someone who is very close to you that can give you some more insight on all of this chaos, possibly better than Emmett and I. You will know when the time is right. Her is my number.” Logan slips a piece of paper in her hand but doesn’t let go of her hand.

“Once you are ready, call me and we will figure out our next step…together.” He gave her a look of reassurance. But Charm saw a certain glint in his eyes as he gazes at her.

She couldn’t determine what it was. She hasn’t felt in quite a long time: warmth, safety, hope…could it be love also? No, it can’t be.

“Charm let’s head out; you need some rest.” Celeste interrupts their little moment. Charm opens her mouth to say something to Logan, but no words came out, so instead she gave him a smile before walking towards Celeste’s car.

And they were off to their dorm room. Throughout the journey, Celeste would glance from time to time at Charm with worry. And Charm would focus on the outside surroundings, avoiding having to talk for the time being.

Not even more than 45 minutes over, the girls are back in their dorm safe and sound. Both took turns taking a nice warm shower to help relax.

Celeste decides to do some schoolwork as Charm tries to take a short nap.

“Hello my portafortuna.” A familiar masculine voice calls for Charm. She immediately turns around and smiles.

‘The mysterious guy is back! After so long…” Charm mentally cheers.

“Hello” Charm replies with a big smile. Ever since she could remember, Charm has had dreams with this mystery man. They grew up together. But he has never fully revealed his face, only a few features like his smile and his eyes but never at the same time. He controls what he chooses to show Charm of himself.

One minute they are together sitting in a beautiful meadow, enjoying each other company. And in the blink of an eye, the mystery man disappears and suddenly Charm is in some kind of forest.

She takes in her surroundings for a moment, to see if she might recognize the place. Oddly enough she is familiar with this forest but feels that she’s never physically been there before.

“Hello Charm.” A mesmerizing yet familiar voice speaks from behind Charm. She immediately turns around to see a beautiful woman with long dark hair, dark as the night, with pale skin and grey eyes with tints of gold like the light from the day.

Any other person would feel precautious and scared yet Charm didn’t feel any of those things. She felt safe, warmth, even love.

“Do I know you?” Charm asks, though deep down she feels like she’s known this mysterious woman her whole life that she was asking a rhetorical question.

“I will be as honest as I can, you use to at some point in your life but will get to know me in your present and future.” The mysterious woman replies.

“What does that even more?” Charm asks feeling both frustrated and confused. The mystery woman sighs before sitting on a tree stump, patting the spot next to her for Charm to sit down as well.

“My name is Nythia, I’m the goddess of dreams and nightmares. As you may know, you are a part of a very important prophecy. I understand that this is a lot for someone who assumed to have a normal human life. That is why I am here and why I sent Logan and Emmett to protect you. I can’t tell you much just yet because the answers to your question are hidden somewhere very close to you. And I can tell you, that your answers will be revealed soon enough and in all due time.” Nythia explains.

Oddly enough, even if Nythia was quite vague with her answer, Charm felt a small amount of weight off her shoulders.

“The reason why I appear before you, is to reassure you and to help guide you as much as I can, my dear Charm. You can trust me, and you can strongly Logan and Emmett, even your friend Celeste as well.”

“How do you know so much about me? Why me?” There are so may questions that are scattering through Charm’s brain.

“Well I can answer your first question, I know so much about you because I’ve been watching over you since you were born. You are special Charm. As for why you, I can’t answer that question, you are the one that can the answer that question. Now I’m afraid this is all the time we have today, I will visit you again when the time is right. Take care my dear Charm and know that I am always here for you, watching out for you.” Nythia says while caressing Charm’s face, like a mother would do to her loving child.

It felt so familiar to Charm and she longs to know why. Before Charm could say anything…she wakes up.

“Hey Charm, your nap turned out to be a lot longer than expected, I went out and bought us some food, I left your food in the microwave.” Celeste says as she continues to work on her laptop. Charm just nods though she is quite distracted by what’s going through her brain right now.

She feels that her life is turning into a huge mess but deep down there has always been a part of her that’s felt empty, withdrawn and with this new discovery that emptiness is fulling up day by day. It first started when she bumped into Logan and has grown tremendously.

Charm decides warm up her food, seeing as she hasn’t eaten since breakfast at Emmett’s, which wasn’t much.

“Oh Charm, I almost forgot, I went to the office to check the mail and your mom sent you a package, I left it on your desk.” Celeste mutters while taking a little ice cream break.

For some reason, Charm wanted to stop everything that is happening to focus her attention on whatever is in that package. But she decides against it.

‘First finish your meal then you can sit down and look at what’s in the package.’ Charm mentally scolds.

So, after a bit of time, Charm finally finishes eating. Suddenly she is starting to feel anxious but can’t explain why. Not wanting to wait any longer Charm aggressively opens the package. Inside the package is a note from her mother and a worn-out book.

On the note, her mother quickly explains that it’s her Papa’s journal that he wanted Charm to have so she can know that he will always be with her. Charm tears up and immediately grabs the book. She opens the cover and sees “Property of Lucky Davidson” written in the inside cover.

As she randomly ruffles through the book has a tiny tear. Curiosity got the best of her and pulls the paper from where it was once glued. Charm never expected to find a letter in between that piece of paper and the back cover of the book. The letter is addressed to her from her Papa. She sighs, mentally preparing herself for what she’s about to read.

Dear Charmy,

As you read this letter, you’ve have been notified of your true destiny but have yet to understand what it means. Well this letter is to clear all of those doubts that are going through your head and to let you know that you are indeed special, Fate made the right decision. An American journalist by the name of Gloria Steinem once said, “Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming after all, is a form of planning.” What I’m trying to express with this quote is that not only are your dreams a special tool to help you in long run. But also, that Dream Catcher you decided to tattoo on your body in my memory. I know you are wondering how I know tattooed that specific Dream Catcher on your back and the answer to that question will soon be revealed. You may not know this, but your ancestors were the very first to ever create the tool that is known today as a Dream Catcher.

And it was said that the very Dream Catcher contains a great of power, the very replica of the one you tattooed on your bac. And the very replica Iktomi first created that the generations. As soon as the image of that “tool” entered your dream and later on permanently drawn on your skin, you were given your true role for the battle against the darkness. Thankfully you have Celeste, Logan and Emmett to help you along the way, once you go through your transformation and gain your powers. Unfortunately, there are still some missing pieces that you and your friends must figure out to reach to your true form. And those pieces may lead you into the past. Another thing I have hid from you is that I’m a direct descendant of the Old Lakota spiritual leader from the first prophecy you were told.

In other words, I too had the abilities to see into the future and that can explain how I was able to see into the future and that can explain how I was able to prepare you to be where you are in this moment and to hopefully help you to reach you full potential. I had a vision of my death, your tattoo, of you and your parents moving back to Boston, of your re-meeting. Logan and Emmett and of your role in this battle against the darkness. Once I fully understood what you were destined for, I took the liberty of helping you take the right path. I sent most of the information of the first prophecy to Logan and Emmett with useful hints of who they should be looking for.

And well I let fate take its course. On a side note, I strongly hope for you and Logan to end up together, but if its not possible an old man can dream, can’t he? After reading this letter I hope you can understand your potential a bit more and what destiny has in store for you. I also strongly pray that you find the answers that I couldn’t provide to you. I’m sorry for leaving you so soon, before I could explain everything in a better way. But I believe in you and you should too. Don’t give up before ever trying, my little Charmy.

Love, Your Papa

‘I guess this is real…Oh Papa why did you leave me at a time when I need you the most?’
