Chapter 5
It was about 11 and I was laid on my bed, replaying everything which had happened during the day. Something wasn’t right. Something didn’t fit the equation. I wasn’t able to work it out fully as I had fallen asleep there and then.
Once again I was walking down the drive, yes it was a misty one. But this time I was able to move freely, it was the same setting but I was able to interact with it more I walked towards Ruby and Odin’s graze area and leaned on the already leaning fence. I heard the scuffle of footsteps behind me and spun round.
“You!” I questioned the person who stood in front of me, this couldn’t be correct as far as I knew this was a dream. This should have played out like the dream of which I have been dreaming for the past 2 weeks.
“Hello Kyra” his voice was a lot calmer than how I felt, I vaguely recognized his face but couldn’t quite place it. I admired his stone white eyes and suddenly felt a lot calmer. He smiled at me and walked towards me but for some reason I didn’t back away I in fact walked towards him. I watched as he placed his hands on my jaw line, I felt an involuntary intake of breath my hands shot up to his wrists but I didn’t pull his hands away instead i closed my eyes to embrace the feeling of which I felt.
I opened my eyes and held his gaze, his eyes were like a window to his soul. To his mind. To his memories. All of a sudden images were passing through my mind. I closed my eyes to try and clear the images up. I couldn’t make sense of it there were snapshots of the dreams I was having or something which was very similar. The thing that I kept noticing the most was the eyes. Deep red eyes hiding, following him jut like they were me. I saw the same as I saw when the Red eyes had lunged at me in that dream but it was from a different perspective.
I opened my eyes to be greeted by his searching mine, I returned the look with one full of questions. I began to speak but stopped when his finger was placed on my lips.
“All will be revealed soon. All questions will be answered soon. Just hold on” he walked backwards and turned to walk towards the stable block. I watched as he rounded the corner. Wait, I couldn’t let him go so easily, I ran to the corner where I lost sight of him to be greeted by something which made me stop in my tracks almost causing me to slip over.
Sat In front of me was a dark brown or black wolf with Stone white eyes which looked very familiar he sat there staring at me for a few minutes and cautiously plodded over to where I stood he bent his thick neck down and dropped something at my feet before going back to where he was. I bent down to pick up what he had dropped to notice it was a string necklace with a paw print attached to it, there was a white eye like symbol which was placed in the centre of the pad. I glanced back to where I last saw him to only find that he had vanished.
I carefully placed it around my neck and walked back up the drive.
Chapter 6
My eyes flung open but I remained where I was on my bed. Why had that dream changed. I was used to it now so why did it have to change. Come to think of it, it’s changed since that new guy turned up. Could he have something to do with it? I leant to my side in order to reach my phone, I checked my screen 10:17am – 1missed call – 3 new messages. I pulled down the notification tab on my samsung and saw what I already knew 1 missed call, 2 messages from Blue and one unknown number. I clicked on the unknown number to read what it said I’ve seen what you saw last night. Don’t forget. Noon. Grazing fields. Alone.
What the hell. How did he get my number. Fricking Stalker.
I was about to throw my phone on my bed when I realized that I hadn’t read Blue’s messages. I clicked them open. Message 1, 8:12 am where are you? You up yet? Message 2, 9:46am You up yard yet? I’m on my way. Call me. I sighed at her persistence and hit the dial button …
Ring… Ring…
Pick up the phone Blue…
Ring… Ring…
You have reached the O2 voicemail for 07..
I hung up before it managed to finish. ‘Ring me Kyra’, Sure Blue but fricking pick up!
I debated whether to get up or not and was greeted by a violent vibration on my bed, I looked up to see my phone flashing incoming call – Blue. So now you want to talk. geez.
I slid the unlock symbol to answer the call…
“Hey chick chick” she squealed down the phone
“hi… why so happy and hyper?”
“well I think I need to be seen as my mother has volunteered me to show the stranger around the yard today”
“hahaha have fun with that B” I teased her as she continued
“Shut up Kyra, I’m annoyed with the fact that he specifically asked for me despite our first little meet up”
“oooooo Blue’s got a secret admirer” I continued to wind her up “ anyway what was with all the texts?”
“I was going to wonder if you wanted to join me on showing him around”
“I’m still at home Blue and I’m busy today” I wasn’t going to tell her about the stranger wanting to meet up. Obviously he wouldn’t have told me to go alone if he wanted her to know so I kept it to myself.
“Damn it” I laughed at her outburst
“Take Ace with you?” I suggested in order to help her out
“That’s an idea, thanks Ky”
“Right well I got to go now Blue” I tried to end the conversation as I needed to work out what I was going to do about the stranger
“Yeah yeah sure not a problem, see ya later!!” with that I hung up and placed my phone on my bed next to me.
I thought It best that I actually get up and get ready, I threw myself off the bed only to stand on something causing me to lose my balance, I sat on the edge of the bed and gave the item evil glares until I noticed it looked very familiar. I leant down and hooked my fingers through the leather strap it was attached to. I placed the main piece in the centre of my palm and studied it.
A medium sized paw print was attached to a leather strap, upon looking at the paw print in closer detail I noticed tiny symbols were etched into the wood it was made of, I turned it over in my hands to see a white eye like symbol had been painted in the centre of the pad. I thought It was an unusual design but liked it all the same. It the dawned on me that I had seen this somewhere before. Last night in my dream. I acknowledge the fact and continued to place around my neck once again.
I checked my watch as I pulled
