Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Ariana's POV

Lightening shone into my room followed by the crack of thunder, I screamed jerking my eyes open from the horrible dream, I had been dreaming of Dylan, dreaming of him running and spurting out blood, I had to get to him, perhaps he's in some kind of danger, but he was supposed to be with his Doctor friend for treatment, I paced my room in agitation, what if something had gone wrong? What if he's truly in danger, I felt a sharp pain in my head as I made to leave, images danced in front of my eyes and I had to hold onto the doorpost to steady myself, I thought I heart Dylan's voice whispered my name, I shook my head, I must be paranoid because I was not only seeing things but now hearing things, either ways I had to get to him, I do not know where to start looking for him but somehow I'll find my way, I quietly left the house, I was filled with anxiety and my heart thudded painfully in fear, my dream flashed through my mind and I shuddered as tears welled in my eyes, I had just walked a few distances when I felt like I was being followed, I turned around and frowned when I saw Eric just behind me, what was he doing here and why was he following me?

"Where are you going?"

"Why are you following me?" We both blurted out at the same time

"I happened to be in the area and I saw you come out of the building, I was wondering if everything was okay and so decided to walk up to you to ask you that" he explained and his eyes suddenly narrowed, "you look so pale, what's the matter"

I don't know if I should trust him but right now I desperately needed someone to help me out, he could help me look for Dylan, it would be faster that way, "tell me" he coerced when I hesitated still considering whether to tell him or not, he placed his hand on my shoulders as he observes me keenly, "is it about Dylan?"

I bubbled my head up and down, "I think he's in some kind of trouble, I have to look for him" tears pooled in my eyes and fell on my cheeks, I had no idea why I was crying or why his safety matters so much to me

"Why do you think he's in trouble? he just might be okay wherever he...." I shook my head vehemently, cutting off whatever he was saying, "no, I know he's in danger, I saw it" his eyes narrowed further, "saw it?" Was it my imagination or was there a catch in his voice as he asked me?

"In my dream, I saw he was running and injured, it seemed so real"

He was silent for a moment, watching me, I held his hands in a pleading gesture, "please help me look for him, will you? He folded his arms across his chest

"Where?" I was bemused by his sudden question, of cause, "where?" I made no reply to his question as I simply started walking, following the path I've seen in my dream, I had no idea why I would believe so much in a dream, it could be wrong, he might just still be in his friend's house and feeling better but something in me kept pushing me to go to him because right now he's in need of my help, I got to a path with high green walls, yes, I had seen these walls in my dream, "Dylan" I shouted frantically, wanting to get to him as soon as possible, "how are you even so sure that he's here" Eric asked, holding my shoulders and turning me around to face him, I shook my head, not sure either, "I don't know, I just felt he's in some kind of danger and I kept on seeing flashes of him in pain and...." I suddenly heard a groaning sound that snatched the words right out of my mouth, Dylan" I shouted running towards where I thought I heard the sound, I stumbled on something and fell on all fours, I heard the sound of pain just behind me, I looked at what had made me stumbled and I gasped as I saw Dylan almost unconscious form, how did he get here? Wasn't he supposed bro be receiving treatment? I tried carrying him so he could lean on me but he was so damn weighty, he didn't budge from his position, despite his condition, I couldn't help but notice his well-defined muscles and pack, Eric, showed up just as I tried once more to heft him, "why is he so injured?" I shrugged as I have no answer to his question, "please come quick and help me lift him"

"You shouldn't involve yourself with him, perhaps we should call the ambulance" I was already feeling exasperated at his delay to help me lift him, "I am already involved with him, he's my master remember, now will you help me or not and we're not calling any ambulance" I was sorry for the tone I had used on him, he looked hurt as his mouth tightened, without further argument, he heaved, placing Dylan's one arm around his shoulders and the other arm in mine, we walked slowly to where we had parked our car and placed him on the back seat while I entered right beside him with Eric on the wheel, I opened his clothes to see how many injuries he had sustained and my eyes widened in shock, there were only bruises on his body but as I watched, it slowly closed, healing itself, I quickly closed his clothes, who exactly is he? I caught my reflection in the mirror, I had gone white as a sheet, my eyes met Eric through the rearview and he quickly grew concerned, "what happened?" He glanced at Dylan and impulsively, I quickly making sure that his clothes covered him properly, "are you okay?" He asked again and I nodded, uncertain if I should inform him of what I had just witnessed, he didn't look convinced with my answer but he didn't say anything further.

Eric's POV

I paced my room in agitation, I could feel the anger pounding through my veins, I had seen the concern in her eyes earlier, concern for Dylan, she is rapidly developing feelings for him and I can't let that happen, I can't let her fall for that scumbag, she still have great task ahead of her, perhaps I've waited too long in telling her that she's a witch, I'm sure she has the abilities, she had seen an injured Dylan in a vision, I gritted my teeth, I had to break that bound that she has with Dylan, she even felt his pain like she was already connected with him, I fisted my hand and pounded on my bedroom wall until I drew blood, "arrrhhhhh" I screamed, letting out the anger I was feeling as I feel in the floor and buried my head in my arms, I have come to a decision, I will tell her about her abilities, seal back her heart in her locket, that would seal her feelings for Dylan forever, yes, I think that is what I should do, that way she can carry out her revenge without any complications and when she does carry out her revenge, I would have carried mine too, I would use her to get my revenge, she is my last hope because only her can kill a werewolf because she was born with her abilities, that special ability that mace her different from others, it was time to tell he who she really is.
