Best novel online free at novel35.com or SweetNovel.Net

Nevaeh opened her eyes to see herself standing in the center of a field of poppies. Her eyes skimmed across the field. There was nothing but poppies stretched out for miles to the horizon, basking under the rays of the golden sun.

'Where was she?'

She tried taking a step forward but she couldn't. She was stuck. She lowered her eyes, only then did she realize the shackles that held her bound on her hands and feet. She kicked against them but they didn't budge.

How did she get here? She looked around again, but she was the only being standing on that field. 'Who brought her here?' She had an eery feeling tingle in her stomach.

She kicked against the shackle again, but nothing changed, but she didn't relent. She struggled to set herself free even when she knew it was a fruitless effort. She winced in pain when her hand brushed against a poppy flower. She looked at her hand and she was surprised to see she had been cut and blood was dripping from it.

Nevaeh felt her heart stop when the red field of poppies suddenly began to turn black like a plague of darkness had been unleashed upon it. In the twinkle of an eye, every poppy on the field had turned black, and a thick dark mist covered the sky. Nevaeh frantically looked around her, but it was all same.

There was darkness everywhere.

Her heart wildly began to beat in fear, as the ominous feeling in the pit of her stomach intensified. Every inch of her stomach churned as cold sweat broke out on her back.

She struggled again, violently shaking the shackles, but the more she moved the more the metals bruised her skin but she didn't care.

She stiffened when the ground began to rumble, and a dark figure rose from a distance. It was huge, and from its shape and size she feared it wasn't human. It had to be a monster. A tear rolled down her cheek at the sight of it.

She didn't need to be told, she was in danger.

Fear sent it's cold shivers down her spine even as the sky began to send droplets of rain. She violently shook the metals that kept her bound, but her eyes remained on the scary creature heading towards her. Nevaeh almost dropped dead on the spot when more of the creature began to appear from all sides. Each approaching her.

Someone should help her, but who could she call? She was alone. She gasped in fright when she saw the fangs that pierced out of their mouth. They had claws too, and the red color of their eyes was the only color that shone in the darkness that swallowed them.

Wh...at were they?

Someone save her. Anyone.

She snapped her head around in fright. She screamed, when a dark creepy hand reached for her.

"Noo!!"

"Elleanor!"

Nevaeh gasped when someone called out her name. Her eyes fluttered open to see him staring at her with troubled eyes.

"Are you okay?" His face was filled with worry. She leaped into his arms as she panted, completely surprising Dale who blinked at her sudden action.

She laid her head on his chest before shaking her head indicating she wasn't fine. She had just had the scariest dream of her life. It wasn't just a dream. It was a nightmare. A horrible one.

Nevaeh laid still as she listened to the steady beating of his heart which seemed to calm her pounding one. His scent lingered in her nose and calmed her down. Nevaeh felt his arm wrap around her and she felt safe.

This was heaven compared to that dream she had just had.

"It's okay." He whispered as he pat her back. Nevaeh absentmindedly laid still in his arms, lost in the peace and comfort he provided her. Her hands clenched unto him as she was yet to completely shake off the dread from her nightmare.

She didn't know how long she had stayed in his arms, until her brain finally returned back to her. She stiffened when she realized what she had done. Her face turned red with embarrassment as she slowly pulled away from him.

"I'm sorry. I had a-"

"Nightmare?" He completed her sentence, while she nodded.

"What did you see?" He asked. Nevaeh looked at him as she thought about the dream she had just had.

"There was a field of poppies and...darkness and some creatures with...with fangs." Her voice shook with fear, and sweat began to form on her face again. "It was scary." Thinking about it alone was like she was reliving each second of that heart reaping dream.

"Shh." Dale shifted closer to her and wrapped his hand around her. He patted her hair to comfort her when he saw the fear in her eyes.

"Don't worry, it was just a dream. You're safe now." He told her, while she nodded. Nevaeh didn't want anything else but to stay like this, so she let him hold her.

She gasped loudly when she saw the wound on her hand. It had blackened and it looked infectious.

"My hand." She cried in horror.

Dale looked at the mark on her hand and his eyes darkened.

"What's happening to me?" She looked at him with desperate eyes. "Is it infected?" Infected? Who was she kidding? This didn't look like an infection.

She looked at Dale, whose eyes were closely fixed on her hand. "It's not infected."

"Then what's happening to it?" She hasn't experienced something of such nature before. Why was strange things happening to her.

"Be calm. I'll fix it." He said and kissed her forehead. Dale soothed her till she was completely calm. He coerced her back to bed and waited till she closed her eyes before rolling out of bed. Nevaeh opened her eyes after he had left.

Fix it? How was he going to do that? Why does she feel this had something to do with the answers she wanted from him?

Things weren't looking funny anymore.

....

Dale was enraged as he strolled out of the room. A dark aura emanated from him, while his eyes turned black. He didn't want to be at like this, even though he wanted to stay at her side just in case she had another nightmare. This was what becomes of him whenever he was angry. His soul gets thirsty. He knew exactly who to go for.

He headed for the door, when someone suddenly appeared in front of him.

"What do you think you're doing?" The angry man who had just appeared sneered as he held his hand out to stop him, but Dale ignored him and walked past.

"Engel, get a grip of yourself. You can't take another life."

"This one won't matter."

"Look at yourself, Engel! You're changing." He appeared in front of him again.

"She'll suffer those nightmares, if nothing is done!" He roared, causing the aura around him to increase to a stifling level.

"Elyon, step aside." He warned, but the man refused.

"Engel, you're way beyond fallen. If you kill one more person, witch or human, you'll be irredeemable."

"I do not wish to be redeemed."

"Then why did you marry her?" Kiel suddenly appeared behind them. The bored look on his face, told Elyon he was angry that he had been disturbed. He always acted aloof, and also as if he hated the idea of always babysitting Dale, and trying to pacify him before he claimed a life.

Dale turned to see him leisurely sitting on the couch.

"Of what use would your marriage be if you become rotten? Wouldn't you have waited in vain?" He cocked a brow at him. "And who do you think would protect her if you can't keep that thing forming inside of you in check? Me? Elyon?" He pointed his chin to Elyon.

Dale frowned at his words. His hands clenched as he glared at Kiel. "I will."

Zadkiel hissed as he stood up. His eyes scanned the man from head to toes in a pitiable manner.

"No, Dale, the question is, who would protect her from you when you turn?"

Dale remained quiet as he stared at Kiel, silently. He hated it when he spoke the truth. kiel always had a way of making him look small and stupid. But again, he was right. He shouldn't harm a soul, not now that he had her.

He closed his eyes and sighed. When he opened them, his eyes were back to normal.

"I need the nightmares to stop." He said.

"But they might help her remember. And her memories could provide some answers." Elyon replied.

"Not when she's been tortured." He could still remember the way she shivered with fear in her sleep. She had looked white and pale.

"So what do you want?" Elyon asked.

"Find the witch to break the spell or find me someone who can."
