Warmth

"You've come for me?" I asked nervously as I point myself, he laughed and nodded at me.

"W-why?" I asked again.

"You have so many questions, my dear," he sighed.

"It's because I don't understand anything! What is happening!" I felt that tears are already welling up in the corner of my eyes.

I look at him while questions are running around my mind, while fear is running into my veins but he just grins at me. I backed down when walked towards me with an expression on his face that I couldn't understand but is making me feel warmth, a warmth that I couldn't escape.

I couldn't understand what I feel, I feel scared but at the same time, I could feel a warmth in him, a warmth that I have longed for.

I feel so lost.

I don't understand a thing now, I really don't, it started because of a dream. A dream that I never thought that I would dream but I don't know what that dream is.

As far as I know, I dreamt a dream. A dream that made me feel miserable, it started haunting and taunting me. But then one day, it just suddenly vanished into my mind.

I couldn't remember it, but I remember how it felt.

I started dreaming things that I couldn't understand when I was 14 years old but since I was a child I didn't understand anything or what's happening to me but it made me happy and made me want to sleep more to experience what I'm experiencing in my dreams.

But it slowly turned into events that haunted me and made an empty hole in me, it made me feel miserable like something is missing and I have a lot of things that I don't know.

He brought his face close to mine and we stared directly at each other, I felt electricity ran into my veins. I was stunned because of the sudden feelings and emotions that burst into my system.

I was shocked and so is he.

My eyes widened when a flashback started running into my mind, a series of pictures but they were all blurry and I didn't even get a good glimpse of it. I felt a sharp pain in my head which made me winced.

We quickly moved away from each other, in shock at what had just happened to us. The electricity suddenly surge on both of us when we touched.

He looks shocked as almost as I am. He looked at his hand and slowly look at me with a hint of disbelief and he doesn't seem to know why and what happened between us.

A dream that happened not so long ago started to run into my mind, my eyes narrowed at him "I k-know you!" I shuddered as I tell him.

Why did it just enter my mind now!? Why just now?

His forehead furrowed because of what I told him, he looks clueless too.

"You're from my dream!" I gasped.

"A dream?" He said cluelessly.

He looks like a kid lost in a forest now just like me, we're completely lost but what I couldn't understand is why a god is in my dream?

Is this where I could get the answer that I have longed for? Will he be the way for me to know what does my dream means? What's the purpose of it?

"Yes! You're the man from my dream-- AGH!" I got stunned and gasped when a felt a massive pain started to throb into my chest.

I touched my chest and I just felt myself losing strength and slowly sitting down. He was looking at me with still questions in his eyes, he looks like he doesn't know what to do.

I panic when he slowly fell as I try to catch my breath, he suddenly falls and it made a loud thud and it echoed in the unknown room. He looks stunned and his eyes widen as his hands suddenly trace his chest.

He slowly knelt down while holding his chest, while I'm here writhing in pain but still I could not take my eyes off him. His lips parted as he looked at me.

His cry of pain shock me, he cried out suddenly and I was overwhelmed when a great amount of pain started to surge into my body, my senses.

And he suddenly jerks and his mouth opened, he looks at his chest as if there is something in there. While I'm here in front of him, trying to suppress the pain and catching my breath. There are beads of sweat that are starting to form on my forehead.

My two eyes widened when there is something forming in his chest. I brought my palm into my mouth when it became visible. I saw a sword stabbed in his chest, he looked at his chest again but he immediately turned his gaze back to me.

I tried to speak but I couldn't say anything because of the overwhelming pain that I'm feeling.

It's too much pain, too much.

I could feel tears are starting to run down my face as I watch the sight of him, the hollow part of me started to ache. I started to cuss into my mind as he started to bleed, just like what happened in my dreams. I tried to stand up but a force is keeping me from standing up.

"N-no... no," I gained the strength to speak when I saw him starting to fade again. " N-no! n-...n-no!" I said desperately as I try to reach him.

But it is as if he couldn't hear me, I crawled towards him but I was having a hard time reaching him. I cried and cried for no apparent reason

"Nooooooooooooooo!" I shouted when he is already gone.

I stood upon the grass that I'm laying when I felt someone splash water on me, I gasped as I try to catch my breath.

I look to find where I was and I was still in the fields and it was already morning the sun is already out and the birds are singing cheerfully.

And it was only a dream... yes, it's only a dream...

I touched my chest again when I felt my heartache, but it's right, it was only a dream, a dream that will slowly vanish into thin air, and because of that I was able to breathe easily, or did I really?

I caught the sight of my two step-sisters with their arms crossed as they looked at me. I look at them innocently, why do they have to pour water on me when they could just wake me up normally?

"You're really crazy! Talking and shouting in your sleep," Aviona scoffed.

"Don't just sleep there! Do your chores!" Avery shouted at me and threw the bucket that they use at me and they walk away.

I wiped my wet face using the cloth that I'm wearing and look at the blue sky, my heart started to throb for no apparent reason. I tried to remember what happened in my dreams but there is nothing coming out in my brain, I tried desperately to remember it but there is nothing.

No matter how much I squeezed my brain I could no longer remember what it was.
