Olivera woke up with a sense of dread churning in the pit of her stomach. She had just had a horrible dream, and the memory of it lingered like a dark cloud over her mind. As she lay in bed, trying to shake off the remnants of the dream, Olivera felt a wave of panic wash over her. Her chest tightened, making it hard to breathe, and she struggled to control the rising panic that threatened to overwhelm her. The dream had been vivid and unsettling, filled with images that made no sense to her. She tried to piece together the fragments of the dream, to understand its meaning, but it felt like trying to grasp at smoke. Vampires and what-nots. What was all that? What was the dream trying to convey to her? Her emotions were in turmoil, like a storm raging inside her. Fear, confusion, and a sense of foreboding mingled together, creating a tangled web of emotions that she couldn't untangle. She still remembered the words that she had exchanged with the jaguar man, Mezon. For some reason,
At Olivera’s cry for help, Vee slithered out of the ring that has never left her hand to stand by the bed side. Olivera let out a breath of relief and sat up on the bed. She stood thereafter and began to pace from one end of her room to the other.Vee said nothing. He just watched her, waiting for her to speak. After a bout of silence, Olivera slumped pitifully on a chair nearest to her bed. “I’m sure you are aware of what has been happening. I’m sure that you are aware why I haven’t called for your aid.” Vee nodded, and sat on the next chair, his hands folded on his lap. This moment, his hair was curled up in a latest fashion. Olivera couldn’t help the smile that perused her lips. “You styled your hair. Looks good.” Vee chuckled with a shrug of his shoulders. “I have to look good for my mistress.” Olivera waved him off, not finding it the appropriate time to tease the being that sometimes made her forget that he wasn’t actually human. She had missed him these past weeks. “Raul
Olivera told Vee about her dream absentmindedly, her thoughts were too filled with the knowledge that her wolf hated her. That for some reason, her wolf was different from the wolves of the others, the others that seemed in love with their human selves. Why was she always different? Olivera wondered. Why was her fate so cursed? What had she done to warrant the saucy attitude that her wolf had given her? Vee had tried to know what had happened, who had encroached her mind, but she had advertently switched the topic back to her terrifying dreams. She knew though that Vee wasn’t one to give up. He would come demanding an answer to his earlier question soon. Perhaps after the talk after the dream. “You said you had this dream before?” Vee was speaking now. He had taken a minute of silence after the narration to check his archives of knowledge and know the best response to give his mistress. “Yes, three times in the past two weeks.” A pause. “Then it is to be considered. Would you te
Olivera swallowed visibly. A vampire had been in her room. Sliver or not, it had been in her room. It had watched her sleep. Had the dream attracted it? Had the vampire somehow perceived that his plans were being revealed to a certain fellow, and had come to sniff the person out, to do away with the person before it gets exposed? Vee was right. She had to involve Raul and the others into this matter, seeing that it was way beyond her, and that the entire universe was involved too. Hearing the dread in Vee’s voice as he spoke, even though he tried to hide it, she could deduce that he was even scared of the vampires. She could deduct that the species were the most cunning of the supernatural species, and probably the most powerful. However, whilst speaking with Mezon in her dream, she remembered that she had talked about the plan to rule the world as if she had made the insane plan together with the vampires. She hadn’t told Vee about her involvement, not wanting to risk his suspic
She awoke with a start.Taking down her hands which had been earlier wrapped around her torso, to the floor as a support system, she sat upright; wincing sharply as pain shot through every nook and cranny of her entire being. What had happened? She thought, as she took in a deep breath. The air was stale and clammy.''Where am I?'' She muttered, taking a scan of the entire dark space with her tired eyes. She could tell that it was a windowless room, too stuffy and stale, too dark too; she couldn't see much except the little illumination proferred by a soft glow which was cast by the few rays of light coming in from small creaks on an iron door. But she didn't understand how she had gotten here.''What am I doi…''"Oh God!" She shrieked, jerking up her head, as memories of past events assailed her head in hot pursuit.She bent her head down in agony, rubbing her
Olivera's POV:My breathing was steady now, my seizures miraculously over, even with the evil hulk of a man standing before me. Jeremy was alive. And it was all that mattered."Your mate eh." I heard the man mutter, with a devilish smile. "This would be fun". He added, before walking out of the dimmed room.I shuddered unconsciously at his words which had an evil forebrooding, before scampering towards Jeremy. He was bent over, writhing on the floor.What did they do to him? I thought, blinking away tears from my eyes.He would heal, surely. He had a wolf, unlike me. I concluded, consoling myself."Jeremy.." I muttered, when I got to him.Raising up his head gingerly, I placed it on my laps."I'm sorry. I'm sorry Jeremy." I kept muttering, not concerned about the pool of tears threatening to drop from my eyes.
Olivera's POV:There was a girl. She looked like me. Well, a more beautiful version of me with a golden crest on her left arm. And she was with a guy, a handsome, scratch that; a very beautiful, very tall man with the right mouth watering physique. They were in a very beautiful garden. And they were kissing. I couldn't see the man's features well, only from behind. But I was very sure about the girl. Was she my twin? I do not know. I would have to ask my mum. I thought as I stared at them.Then, a loud bang caused the imagery to dissipate, caused a slight tugging on my eyelids and then I fell into oblivion."Olivera.." I heard Jeremy call, but it was distant.But then he called again, this time, I felt my hands being tapped, once, then twice; till I recovered from my numb state.I opened my eyes, and it came in contact with Jeremy's blue ones."Were you dream
Jeremy's POV:I became frantic, watching Olivera heave in and out, slowly but loudly, shaking violently as she held my arms for support."Where are your drugs?" I asked, tapping her pockets frenziedly.But she couldn't say anything, she was slipping into an unconscious state, and it was driving me crazy. This wasn't good at all for our stay here.I looked up ahead, the man was still walking, not aware that the people he was leading to God-knows-where weren't behind him."Vera, do you want me dead?" I asked, trying to implore a tactic which had just popped up in my head. It might be seen as emotional blackmail; but I didn't care at this point. I just wanted her back to her normal self.But it didn't work. She was still shaking."Hey!"I heard the man call, and soughed. We were really in trouble. I thought, holding her
