3 Where It All began 3: Another Dream

*Isabel's POV*

"I'm back here again, but where is here?" I say to myself.

I see a big door, like those in a.. a castle. I'm in a castle. I see a tall man, with silver hair reaching his waistline and a crown worn graciously on his head, with fancy robes befitting that of a king. He keeps pacing to and fro. There is worry written all over that handsome face of his. There are guards stationed outside the door.

I see another small group of people, three of them to be precise, a male and two female. Dressed in fancy raiments, but not outstanding like that of the tall handsome man.

The next thing, I'm inside the room behind those large doors. A woman, crying, shouting. She's in labour. Maids run up and down trying to attend to the needs of the physician.

She keeps crying. Then I saw something worth noticing. Everyone was in awe. Lightning... Yes, a little bit of lightning covered the lady.

The maids are all scared, you could see the fear written all over their faces. Then a terrifying sound could be heard outside followed by a bolt of terrible lightning continuously, as it's about to end...

The cry of a baby... The lady in labour faints. The physicians are worried, same with the maids.

"Hurry up, we can't let her majesty faint. We must wake her up," one of the physicians, perhaps the head, spoke in haste.

The next thing I'm outside the door again.

I see two figures running towards the king. A male and a female. They get to where the king was and stopped running, trying to catch their breaths. The other group of people move closer to them with worry and concern written on their faces.

Finally... The king speaks.

"What is the matter, why are you running like children?"

The female said, "Your majesty... We are coming from the prophecy room. A prophecy has appeared on the walls of prophecy."

"Come on don't stop, what does it say, Pheobe?" Pried one of the females.

" It says, 'The one who has embraced the darkness Recking havoc and bringing destruction everywhere he goes. In the midst of impending doom, lies a glimmer of hope. The Lightning Child, fated to end it all.' and that is all,"

The big doors open and a female physician rushed out. "Your majesty, the queen."

"What happened to her?" asked the king in panic.

"I'm sorry, the queen is all right. You have a baby girl."

As she finished those last words, the king dashed into the room.

There in the arms of the most dazzling lady, I have ever seen, lay a beautiful baby girl with hair of silver. On a closer look, she took the beauty of her mother.

"Thank you, thank you so much for everything," a teardrop escaped the eyes of the king as he appreciated his queen.

The queen smiles. "Now now, don't you want to hold your daughter? She takes after her father all right".

The next thing, the queen is shocked like she is hypnotized. Twenty seconds later she blinks her eyes.

"Isabella... What did you see?"

The big door bursts open and one of the males outside rushes in.

"What is the meaning of this Gregory? "

"They've breached the town, they are heading towards the castle gate, your majesty".

"What? "

Then I woke up.

**Author's POV**

By the time she woke up, sweat was dripping from her face.

"Why did I wake up now? What happened to them. How am I related to these dreams? So many questions, who can answer them?"

She closed her eyes and falls on the bed.

"I better get some sleep."

Her alarm started ringing.

Ring! Ring!

"You've got to be kidding me. Can't a girl have her beauty sleep? Come on Isabel, school time."

She gets up from her bed and got ready for school.

********

At school, she saw Jasper from afar and hurries to meet him.

"Hey, bestie!"

"Good morning Isa, how do you do?"

"Good morning, how do you do too?"

Her smile and continue walking to their classroom.

"Hey, you are looking dull. More of huh... You are lost in thought again. What happened this time? It's the dreams, right?"

"I guess I can't hide anything from my bestie, can I?" She lightly hit him on his arm.

"Well, I'm glad you know. Now spill the beans."

She starts telling him about it, just then their teacher walked in.

"We'll talk over lunch at the cafeteria," Isabel said as she took her seat.

"Well, yeah. But for now, be good. Don't let it weigh you down promise. "

"I promise" they both do a pinky promise and get settled for class, soon the teacher starts teaching.

**During Lunch**

"You want lemonade or coke today?"

" As my bestie, you should know what I like,"

"All right, two lemonade please."

They get their snacks and off to an empty table. They start eating while talking, soon trouble comes their way.

"They've got nerves coming this way.. "

"Relax babe," said Jasper. They get to their table and Desmond pretended as if he didn't see her and hit her drink off the table, causing it to spill on her uniform.

"Oh, how unfortunate. But you gotta clean yourself dirt."

"The nerve!"

As she gets up to slap Desmond, she hears a loud thud and turned to the direction. Desmond is spread in the ground holding his injured nose.

"Wow that was fast," she said turning to face Jasper. But she sees a different Jasper.

She thought to herself. "Boy, what murderous intent. I've never seen Jasper like that before... " she stares at her bestie, like a different person.

"Take that imbecile and get the hell out of my sight," he said pointing to Ryan and the gang.

They carry Desmond and hurried away.

"Jasper... " she said, reaching for his hands.

As soon as she touched him, he pulled his hands away and looked at her angrily. The shock was written on her face and he quickly realized what he had done, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and opens them yet again.

"Isa, I'm sorry I scared you." He touched her hand, and notice she was shaking.

"Babe, please calm down, come we have to get you cleaned up.".

He held her hands and guided her up and they left the cafeteria.
