Celine and Aaron

CHAPTER FOUR.

Celine watched Aaron as he walked out. She inhaled deeply to calm herself down. She shouldn't have become emotional in front of Aaron. He'd think she was weak, but she couldn't control herself. The thought of her parents and her world traumatized her. She had lost them and would never get them back.

She laid on the bed, and weakly closed her eyes. She drifted off to sleep. She found herself back in the same place where she was when she was dreaming under the tree. She was still standing in front of the door, and whatever was behind the door still called at her.

She looked around and didn't see anyone close by. She gently opened the door and walked in. There wasn't much design in the room. It was simple and calmed her down in a way she couldn't understand. The room smelled like rain. There was a natural aura in the room, she guessed that it was this smell that was attracting her. She looked around the room and walked towards the bed. She touched the bed, it was bouncy. She smiled as she sat on It.

She saw that a piece of clothing was on the bed. She picked it up and saw that it was a robe, a man's robe. This meant that she was in a man's room.

She looked ahead towards where a mirror and table stood. There was a comb and some men's stuff on the table, confirming that it was truly a man's room.

Staying in this room made her calm and at peace. There was a tingling feeling in her, like she had butterflies in her belly.

She suddenly remembered Aaron. Yes, that was it! She thought. This room reminds her of Aaron. She remembered when Aaron came to her tent, he had a familiar and similar smell.

She wondered if this was Aaron's room. But the camp was filled with tents and she didn't see any buildings around. She stood up from the bed and started walking around, trying to find any clue that might explain what was happening. She was still trying to wrap her head around what was going on when the door suddenly opened. She turned towards the door swiftly, and standing before her was Aaron.

I've been having visions. Last night was the second time it happened. Aaron said to Julius as they walked away from the building where the dungeon is located.

In the first vision, Aaron continued. I found myself in a room with some people dressed as elders. They were seated round a table. I then saw the Enlightened one. She came to join them in the room. She told them about a great evil befalling the world, and how Every supernatural being must unite to fight the evil.

The second vision was last night. I found myself back in the room, but the Enlightened one was alone in the room this time around. She spoke directly to me. I can't tell you what she said, because I'm still trying to understand it. I already told Luli to help me check about the connection of the Supreme Alpha and the greater evil that is about to befall the world.

Aaron looked at Julius. Julius had a look on his face that made Aaron scoff.

"I've not gone mad, Julius," he said. At least not yet. Everything still feels strange to me but, I'll figure it out.

Before Julius could reply, Aaron continued speaking.

"I'll go to my room now, I want to pick something. I'll join you later." He said this and walked towards the building where his room was located.

Aaron stood in front of the room, he felt someone was inside his room. Who could it be? He thought. No one was allowed to enter his room without his permission, except for the cleaners, but it wasn't time for the cleaners to come yet.

He opened the door, prepared to deal with whoever it was that was in his room without his consent.

He entered his room and met a woman. He had never set his eyes on her before and he was sure she wasn't part of his pack. He gently closed the door and looked at her carefully. She wasn't a wolf either, she was a witch.

"Your grand witch already sent someone here to deliver a message to me." Aaron said to the woman.

The woman just stared at him, looking lost in her thoughts. Aaron wanted to speak again when he suddenly stopped. There was something about this woman. He felt like he should know her, but he knew he had never seen her before.

His wolf, Orion, wasn't helping. The wolf wanted to come out. He knows his wolf is only meant to be like this when he sees his mate. Was she his mate? He asked himself.

"Aaron". The woman finally spoke. She called his name.

He was taken aback. He had never met this woman and she knew his name. He felt he should know her name also, but he couldn't just remember anything. At that moment, he wasn't sure of anything.

Aaron cleared his throat and stood straight. "Do I know you?" He asked this lady.

She looked at him like he had gone mad.

Totally ignoring his question, she started talking about something else.

"What is this place?" She asked him. Aaron wondered if she was stupid, this is obviously a room. He thought.

We were in a camp. She continued.

You brought me to your camp and I met Julius and he took me to a tent where I can rest. There were no buildings in the camp, only tents.

Aaron walked closer to where she stood. 

I don't know what you are talking about, I don't know you and I don't understand you. But I want to know how you got here. Aaron said.

The woman shook her head and looked at him like he didn't know what he was saying.

"I don't understand what you are saying either," she said.

You came to the tent a few minutes ago and you asked me what happened to my home. You left and told me to rest.

I decided to sleep a little, then I found myself here. What is going on?! She screamed, looking at him.

Aaron was equally lost as the woman. He walked towards his bed and sat down.

What is your name? He asked her as he took a deep breath.

My name is Celine, she replied. I already told you.

Aaron sighed and continued speaking. 

We have to calmly understand this situation before we can know what is happening. He said.

Do you know the world is fighting a war? She suddenly asked him.

Balls of fire fell from the sky and destroyed my world. Every other supernatural world is also in jeopardy and you are this calm, your clothes are even different. She said,

Aaron's mind was in a rush of thoughts. Balls of fire? That was what the Enlightened one said would destroy the world. That was the greater evil that will befall the world.

He looked at the woman in the room with him, his face was covered in confusion.

He's been seeing visions lately, people talking about a time yet to come where the world would be destroyed and this woman was telling him about that time like it was already happening. He was trying so hard to understand what was going on.

Is this part of the world hidden? She asked him. I don't understand how you people here are not affected by what is happening to the world, you look like you don't know what is even going on! Where is this…

Before she could complete her words she suddenly disappeared from the room.

This made Aaron jump on his feet.

He looked around his room, but she wasn't in the room.

He took deep breaths, closed and opened his eyes, hoping he'd see the lady still standing in front of him.

There was no one there. He was alone in the room.

He sat on his bed. He was confused. What was going on? What are you trying to do, Enlightened one? He spoke out loud like there was someone in the room with him.

First the visions, now this. It was too much for him to handle all at once.

He laid on his bed and stared at the ceiling, totally forgetting about what he came to do in his room.

Celine suddenly woke up and found herself back on the bed in the tent.

She quickly got down from the bed and went out of the tent. Standing in front of her tent, she looked round the camp but didn't see any building. The camp was filled with tents.

She stood still, confused at what was happening. Was it all a dream? She thought.

She knew it wasn't just a dream because it felt so real. A dream could not be that real. She felt she was living in another time.

She walked back into her tent and sat on the couch, fearing that she'd fall asleep if she sat on the bed.

Aaron didn't seem to recognize her. Where they looked like a pack house as she remembered seeing guards when she firstly found herself in the place.

They were totally unaware of the destruction going on in the world. Aaron didn't understand what she was saying to him and he looked a bit different than how he looked here.

He was looking more neat and settled than he looked here and the smell in his room, she smelled it more the moment he walked in into the room. His smell in her dream and in this world was the same.

She remembered she was about to ask him where they were before she woke up and found herself back in the tent.

A voice in her head told her that whenever she closes her eyes to sleep, the dream would continue.

She decided to stay awake, but there was nothing to do in her tent to keep her awake. It was getting dark already and she wasn't sure it would be safe to walk through the camp, especially since no one knows about her here except for Aaron, Julius, and the little girl that brought her clothes. She decided to walk around the camp just for a while, and then come back to her tent.

She walked out of her tent and began walking in the camp area. Few people were Still walking around, they were mostly guards. They passed by her, totally ignoring her. This made Celine think that Aaron or Julius probably told them about her already.

She nodded at a few of them as she passed by them, some answered her while some didn't.

She noticed a small forest of trees, and her legs guided her towards the forest. This was different from the forest she was in before Aaron saw her.

She saw a tree and sat down under it. The air was chilly and the wind blowing the leaves of the tree made her shiver.

She had this feeling that she wasn't alone under the tree, she stood up and walked round the tree. Sitting at the other side of the tree was Aaron. 

He looked lost in his thoughts and he didn't even notice that she was standing in front of him. She cleared her throat, making him look up.

What are you doing here? She asked him. You couldn't sleep? I couldn't sleep either. I've been having strange dreams, I'm scared that if I fall asleep, they'll continue. She said to him as she sat down next to him.

Do you want to tell me about it? He asked her.

Celine thought for a while. If she tells him about her dreams, he might think she's crazy, and if she tells him, he might help her find a solution or an explanation to her dreams.

She sighed and took a deep breath, deciding to tell him about the dreams.

I have been having these dreams, it started just before I met you. She said to Aaron.
