Chapter 27: Dream with Old Love

Frizabelle

Night

11 pm

"I can't believe that I am engaged." I said to nobody as I removed my clothes in the bathroom of my bedroom.

"Oh Belle, believe it please. One day you'll be surprised that we're already married." Ceres teased which made me thought of walking down the aisle and she was waiting at the altar.

"STUPID, MINE!" I shouted as I shut the door loud which made Ceres laugh since I was totally tomato of what I am imagining.

'My queen, There's a lot of things to prepare before it happens. So relax but remember you're mine.'

"I know and you are mine as well so better to tell me beforehand if there's another person or else you're walking at the aisle on your own." I bluntly told her which made me feel that she jolted to what I just said.

'Soon enough, you'll know. I just hope you won't leave me when you hear it.'

I was about to say something but I didn't instead, I just let it go for a moment. But seriously, it made me think if she does have others. I groaned just thinking of it and Lena laughed at the back of my head.

"Shut up Lena." I groaned as I soaked myself again in the warm milk bath in the tub.

'Well, you're the one who's thinking about it. But Friz, if she does...remember that she choses us and not the other way around.'

"But what if she chooses both?" I asked as I doubt as well.

'Then its polygamous relationship, duh. But…make every second count with her. I love her, Friz. don't let her go without a fight.'

"I know, so am I." I sighed heavily before I let myself drown for a few seconds in the warm milk bath.

After taking some relaxing baths in the tub, Ceres suddenly went inside which made me slip. Good thing, she's a vampire. She caught me in her arms before pulling me up like a bride. I was about to wiggle and complained for her to put me down since I was naked but she didn't. Instead, she kissed my lips then to my forehead.

"Always remember, my heart belongs to you, my beloved queen." Ceres whispered as her forehead rested onto mine. Seriously, I don't know what to say or even notice whether I am blushing or not but I pulled her closer to me and kissed her lips again.

"So am I. Don't lose my heart, my Celestial Ceres." I said which made her smile before kissing my forehead longingly then she put me down in front of the vanity.

She gave me a smile before she turned her back and started to remove her clothes. My eyes began to widen and my jaw almost hit the tile floor but I immediately turned around to face the vanity mirror. I was totally caught off guard and now the heat onto my cheeks was really on fire.

"It's all yours, Belle." Ceres said before she soaked herself from the same milk bath that I just used.

"Argh! You're not helping and I know that. Even mine is yours as well." I groaned shyly before I slapped myself with water from the sink then wiped them harshly before wearing some undergarments.

I immediately went out of the bathroom and just let Ceres finish her bath alone there. If I won't get out of there after she takes a bath, I might end up taking her there. Gosh, just thinking of it made me feel so damn hot but I have to control myself because neither of us really craved each other. Control was a must till the right time.

'Yeah, right time…'

"Don't worry Lena we both knew that we're not the only ones who felt this way." I sighed heavily before doing some last minute assignments before reviewing for the exam tomorrow.

11:15 pm

When I was done with my assignments, I immediately went on studying for my first two subjects exams tomorrow. I actually never realized that Ceres was already done in the bath and reading some book on the bed.

"Can I snuggle now?" I whined to myself which made Ceres chuckled before going back to reading because if I didn't, I would seriously end up in bed - sleeping.

"You can continue them tomorrow morning since your examination tomorrow starts at nine." Ceres reminded me which seriously made my head turn to face her as my eyes were wide.

"How did you know about that one?" I asked since I never told anyone about my schedule for tomorrow's exam which made me think of Avery but that's impossible does it?

"Avery didn't say anything to me about your schedule but, you'll see tomorrow." Ceres dodged my question which made me pout then closed the chemistry book and went to the bed.

I snuggled with her which made her chuckle and made me pinch her side. Ceres giggled before she closed the book that she was reading before turning to face me. Beautiful.

"You know I could hear them." Ceres teased which made me playfully slapped her cheek but I'd rather pulled her closer to my lips.

"Goodnight, my beloved queen." Ceres whispered before she kissed my forehead. Even though I still didn't want to go to sleep, eyes were already betraying me which made me only snuggled even more to Ceres.

I was so deep in my sleep which made me reach my dream realm that I thought I would be meeting the moon goddess once again but not. I was surprised since I can clearly see a semi-structure of a castle or ruin and it was definitely burning. I can also hear loud noises and screams but what surprised me was seeing Ceres once again covered with blood and crying. She was crying while holding a very beautiful lady in her arms but she was also covered with blood. Not just she was covered with it, she was being stabbed by a dagger with a dragon carved on the handle.

"I'm sorry, my love...I couldn't stop him. I'm not strong enough...I'm sorry I couldn't protect you." Ceres said with her sweet and caring voice but it was totally broken while holding carefully the lady in her arms.

I don't understand what was happening but I couldn't control this dream like interrupting them or changing the scene but instead, I was glued on my ground and just watched.

"It's okay my beloved, Celes...it has to be done...either way, it will still happen…" The bleeding lady said and I can tell that they were totally in love. I know I should be jealous over this scene but the pain was something more which I am not sure about.

"But still I could prolong it but instead, I just made it quick...I'm sorry…" Ceres kept apologizing while crying to the lady's situation even though their background was full of screaming and yelling.

"Celes...enough...just promise me one thing…" The bleeding lady said which sounded like it was her last wish for Ceres.

"Anything my love. Anything." Ceres lovingly said with her hurting voice.

"Promise me, you'll find your heart and soul…" The bleeding Lady said her wish made Ceres look even more in pain. She knew that her beloved was dying and that's her dying wish.

"N-no Lana...no...you're my heart and soul…you my one and only beloved...so please do say that..." Ceres cried as she pleaded and it was hurting me even more. I should be in pain because of jealousy and not be hurt because of something like I don't understand. I was now crying while watching them.

"I…" Lana whispered before her eyes found mine. She was staring directly at me which made everything come rushing, the pain of being stabbed and the love that I've been sharing with Ceres.

"Mate…" Lena and I whispered as those eyes met mine with such love and longing which same with Ceres.

Then everything suddenly shifted into another time of the same day at the same ruined semi-castle but it was just full of mist and nothing more. I was just crying on my knees for some reason that I don't understand until I saw dirty but pale-white feet standing in front of me. I glanced up slowly and it was wearing a silver grey gown with swirling red vines at the end of it but it was also covered with dirt. The body of this person was slim but more physically fit and sexy but there's blood on her right side of her stomach. I continued on studying her which made my eyes widen when I saw that there was also a taint of blood on her chest. I jolted which made me cover my mouth yet my eyes still kept looking up and there she was, the bleeding lady that Ceres was in love with.

'Mate'

As those words from Lena echoed inside my head made me teared up even there's some confusion bothering me. She smiled at me which made my heart do some somersault and made me feel the heat forming on my cheeks.

"I was called back then Blanche Monte Cruz and none of them knew the name of Iolana Blanche Monte Cruz except my beloved Celestial Ceres Aspire. I came to meet the heart and soul of my beloved. I am glad that it's you." The lady introduced herself with such an alluring and wonderful voice like she was singing.

"What? How? Why? I don't understand any of this." I asked her since I was still confused over the scene that I just saw and the feeling that I just felt from it.

"Hush, I will tell you the brief of it." The lady named Iolana Blanche hushed me as she put her hand onto my shoulder which made me feel them again but it was hundred times more. It sent me to the edge, like it was like my feelings were all over the place.

"No! Explain to me since I can tell Ceres, will put riddles in my thoughts if I ask or she'll just dodged it like what she did earlier." I sarcastically told her which was true which made her chuckle. I blushed which I don't understand why.

'She our mate too, idiot.'

"Its a dream, Lena...a dream…" I countered her but she just scoffed and didn't believe me which I am too. It's so confusing.

"You're indeed perfect for her heart and soul. Irritated wolf, Lena or should I call you Frizabelle?" Iolana Blanche said then asked which I just groaned. Dammit! My emotions turned into mood swings per second!

"Whatever. Just explain what this fucking dream. Why am I hurting? I know I am not jealous but why was it painful when I saw that?" I asked and this time I am crying again which made her pull me closer to her embrace.

I'm so confused over this dream. Lena called her mate but this was just a dream and I don't understand why I am feeling the love that I had for Ceres to this lady named Iolana Blanche Monte Cruz. She could calm me down like what Ceres could do to me and she doesn't smell like rotten blood though her clothes were still covered by it. Her scent was more one sweet colorful cotton candy with chocolate that I like - love to smell around me as well.

"I know you're confused but before I answer your question, could you tell me what you feel around me?" She asked which made me look confused but when I looked at her eyes she had the mauve with amber explode just around the black core of her eyes. It was more like amber fading to mauve color and it was stunning. Beautiful.

The more I stared at her eyes, I suddenly could see myself holding Ceres and being happy which I never realized that I was already cupping Iolana Blanche's face with my both hands. We were both staring at each other's eyes and I don't know what came into me but my heart was being like a sledgehammer. Slowly getting closer to her face and I am not backing down or being afraid or even doubting that she might be using a compulsion to me but not. I might not get why I am trusting her but the pain I felt earlier suddenly faded as I cupped her face.

"What are you doing, my queen?" She asked which felt right when she called me her queen instead of Ceres voice. It was like she was the real one calling me in that name.

"I am about to kiss you." I replied as I let myself lean closer and kissed her lips.

Her lips were perfect on mine and it might like what I felt to Ceres but she was different in the sense of smell and taste. Her scent and taste were sweet like cotton candy with melted chocolate which I really got addicted to. Yes, kissing her made me addicted and wanting for more which led us on moaning but we have to stop this kissing. As our lips parted ways, our foreheads touched each other as we caught our breaths.

"Did you get my answer now, Iolana?" I asked as I closed my eyes and felt every beat of my heartbeat strumming like a drum.

"Yes, my queen." She answered which I could tell she was smiling even though our eyes were still close and our forehead still kissed each other.

"Now, please tell me, why? Make me understand them." I asked calmly since she could make me feel that way.

"My queen, you already answered them just by looking at my eyes and kissing me." She chuckled which made me pinch her cheek lightly.

"Make it clear, please. Don't speak like Ceres." I told her which made her giggled before speaking again.

"Like what you saw, I was dying in Celestial's arms when I saw the glimpse of you crying. I was hurting when I saw that glimpse. It was like shattering me into million pieces which made me realize that it was you. You're my beloved queen and Celestial was mine too. In short, I was supposed to have two mates but my time was stolen from me but the moon goddess planned another. She whispered to me and chanted it. Next thing I knew, I could see myself through Celestial's eyes but she couldn't see or hear me." She started explaining more clearer than Ceres could do - well unless I forced her to do so.

"So you're telling me that you two merged?" I guessed which made me nod my forehead. I distanced myself so I could see her face once again and she was beautiful like Ceres. But not the irritating part.

"Is it the reason why you could calm me and make my feelings in such haywire?" I guessed which made her giggled that seriously made my heart throb so hard. It sounds cute to my ears like a melody.

"My queen, remember that I am one with Celestial and the reason I let her stumble on your pack that night. I wanted to meet you badly and be with you which I am sorry for making you doubt back then." She apologized which made me feel the pain she's been through along with Ceres over my stubbornness back there.

"Hey, don't be. Here we are now." I told her which made her face again this time and looked deeply into her eyes. I could definitely swear that I could see Ceres' moonlight eyes staring at me as well.

"Also, I just pulled you into this dream since I want us to meet in person and to touch you with my own. But it wasn't easy since it was Celestial and I paid the moon goddess for meeting you earlier than expected." She continued like she was explaining to me what exactly the reason why they stumbled on our territory. Though, the cause was Ceres was being forced to be married to Vincent which I am still not a fan of recalling it. I groaned mentally.

"What's the catch of it, Iolana?" I asked since they sounded like they bargained with the moon goddess about our meeting.

"You have to accept being mated to a great fallen rogue and be engaged with us." She answered which made me recall those times.

"That's why I am here." I nodded in understanding before looking back at the foggy ruined semi-castle in front of us.

"Yes, my beloved queen. I'm sorry if this thing offended you." She apologized once again which made me groan.

"Iolana, one more apology comes out from your mouth, I'm gonna kick your butt off." I warned her.

"But I'd rather be kissed instead of being kicked." She countered with a tease which made me look at her.

"Definitely like Ceres." I chuckled as I recalled Ceres could definitely say something like that to me.

"Well, we're living in one body. Expect that." She chuckled before she pulled me into her arms which I love as well.

"But can I see you in Ceres?" I asked as I snuggled myself into her comforting and securing arms.

"One day, my beloved queen. Just wait for it." She giggled with a knowing tone that I will meet her in Ceres in the near future.

"Get up now. You have to review. It's already past six." She continued as she gave me a kiss onto my forehead which I didn't want too. But she won't let me instead, she just kissed my lips which I'm so glad to return.

I was loving the kiss touching my lips but there was something else bothering me. It was definitely a very familiar one which made me open my eyes and pushed Ceres lightly.

Morning

6:30 am

"Morning. You seem like having a very nice dream for me to be greeted like that." Ceres commented which made me blushed all of the sudden as I recalled what Iolana told me that they were one.

"Dammit, Iolana!" I groaned as I turned to my side before stretching.

"Iolana?" Ceres asked with a curious tone which made me look at her then smile before giving her a longing kiss onto her lips again.

"I'll tell you later. I've got to review." I said before jumping off the bed and went to the bathroom to change since I have to review early.

Ceres

I wasn't that surprised when she mentioned my long lost beloved fiancé named. But I wondered what they talked about in the dream. I might see them talking but I couldn't hear what they were talking about. Oh! I was surprised that they kissed. I mean really kissing like she was kissing me and instead of getting jealous over it, I am not. But honestly, I also felt Frizabelle lips when they kissed.

Damn! Just feeling those lips against mine...I want more but wedding first!
