Dreams Of Ticks Novels & Stories

"Perhaps we should discuss this somewhere more private." "No. Here is fine." I pulled out my phone, showing him the photos of my marked skin. "I've been having dreams. Visions. Of battles between wolves and vampires, of a prophecy about the White Luna uniting or destroying the supernatural world. And I wake up with these marks on my skin that disappear by morning." Lucien's violet eyes fixed on the photos, and I saw his jaw tighten. When he looked up at me, his expression was carefully neutral. "These could be.."

My heart is aching, and this is exactly how the woman felt in my dream. Weird. It was like watching a movie and being affected by it. I wiped my tears away to get those thoughts out of my mind. I don't know why I'm having these kinds of dreams recently when I'm not even into werewolf romance. Is this because I watched Twilight too much when I was still a kid? Or maybe because of the birthmark on my neck? Sighing, I looked at the clock. It was still three in the morning—too early to rise.

But when I blink and look again, there's nothing there. "Just your imagination," I whisper to myself, but my heart is racing. I drain the water glass in three quick gulps and hurry back upstairs, locking my bedroom door behind me. Which is stupid, I never lock my bedroom door. What am I afraid of? Everything, apparently. The way Clint looked at me. The strange dreams I've been having about forests and moonlight. There was growing certainty that something was really off. Meanwhile, back at the festival… “Alpha, what’s going on? Please don’t tell me that rogue is your mate?” Reed asked Clint.

“Yeah. And something else, too.” Rave looked surprised. “Start with the dreams.” “I’ve had two more. In one, there’s a vampire with a girl chained behind her. I’ve had it twice so far, which really bothers me. The girl seems familiar—I think I should know her—but she’s never clear enough to recognize. It’s very frustrating and disturbing.” “I’m surprised you don’t dream about vampires more often,” Rave said sympathetically, “with everything that’s happened to you. What about the other dream?”

I run toward him, screaming, but chains grow from the floor and wrap around my ankles. Then the dream changes. The walls of Blackridge melt into a forest of black trees where creatures with human teeth crawl after me on all fours. Their nails tear my skin. Their mouths rip flesh from my arms and chest while I keep running, unable to die, unable to wake. I see Lucas. I see Ryan. And I see myself drowning in blood while Ryan keeps asking one question. “Why?” The siren blares, jolting me awake. I wake with a violent gasp, my back soaked in sweat. Oliver glances at me from his bunk. “You look like hell.”

I dream of confusion, of tangled stories, of the chipping, grinding, carving of stones. In my dreams, I hear low rumbling growls and high pitched howling, see full moons and glittering constellations. I see Layla and Arnold holding a tiny bear cub, and Sarah and Nash riding enormous white bears into the sky. I smell Jasper beside me, feel a new claiming mark hot against my skin. I’m the first one to awake. My dream is still lingering in the front of my mind. And it gives me an idea.

When sleepiness hits I moved to the master bedroom and lay back under the covers, close my eyes, and dream about my wrist-sucking vampire. "What the fuck?" I got up abruptly in the middle of a dream. I was horny and out of breath after dreaming of Nero sucking on my blood. I looked at the clock on the wall showing me that it was four in the morning. It was a dream, get a hold of yourself, Tessa. I was probably too horny from all the excitement yesterday.

A painful scream echoed throughout the forest. Tara jolts awake, drenched in sweat and a pounding headache. she frequently wakes up with the same question, every time she has this dream. ‘Why does it feel so real.’ Tara closed her eyes as a lone tear rolled down her rosey cheek, that dream is frequent lately and it terrifies her.

Except my paranoia had been right before. My fingers brushed over the scar on my wrist—an old reminder of the one night I didn’t walk fast enough, the one night I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I barely remembered the attack, just flashes of dark fur, claws, the taste of blood in my mouth. The doctors said it had been a wolf, a rare rogue sighting near town. I’d believed them. Until the dreams started. Every night since then, I woke up breathless, my skin burning, my body aching in ways I couldn’t explain. Like something inside me was stretching, trying to break free.

"In my dream I saw many, many chasens. If those are the many chasens you saw coming after me Vera then I understand why you said there was nothing we could do because I saw armies and armies of them. The dream was like a on a loop. Theere were many chasens all over, I can't remember what they were doing but they were there and there was this huge tower. It was really bright and the chasens were like marching around it. Does that mean anything to you?" "The chasens marching around a bright tower?" Rodrick asked; as inside his mind a room that had been darkened for years lit up and brought back memories he didn't even know he had. "Yes, does it mean anything?" "Oh my gosh," Rodrick said, with
