Chapter 53: Dream Or Reality

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

Dale fumed in anger as he paced the hallway of the house. He wasn't angry with the way she had reacted to him, but he was angry that something could bring such fear to her. He was angry that he has some how become a source of fear to her. She was already suffering enough. She has suffered enough.

He knew believing and accepting things that were beyond human imagination wouldn't be easy, so he didn't blame her. Humans believed that the world was round, and the sky was naturally blue, so how could he blame her?

He had prepared himself for all these, and he was willing to keep all these away from her and dwell powerless on this earth if that would keep her with him. He wouldn't mind embracing complete mortality if that was what she desired. But that wouldn't be possible anymore. She was already in danger, and knowing was the only way he could protect her.

His hand clenched when he remembered the mark on her neck. What exactly had she seen? What was powerful enough to hurt her from her dream? He teleported to the Library where he picked up her sketch book. He knew she has been drawing the creatures in her dreams. He felt a pang when he saw her drawings.

These were not things a human mind as naive and fragile as hers should see. She must have been tortured by the images in her head. Seeing indescribable and horrifying things for one day was enough to haunt a human mind, but she suffered it whenever her eyes closed to rest. He couldn't imagine how frightened and exhausted she must have been these past days. He realized how strong she was.

Many humans of her kind would have lost their peace and sanity over something as horrendous as this, but she...she carried on every day even when he left her alone in this house to deal with her fears alone. Not to mention the pain.

Dale felt like reprimanding himself in the worst way possible. He heaved deeply as he flipped through the book. The demons in her book, none were powerful enough to hurt her from her dream. So what was that?

And weren't her dreams supposed to be memories, so what has changed?

He didn't know exactly what kind of creature she had seen, but he feared it might wait for her another time, and if he does, he was going to kill it, even if it meant looking for a way to enter that dream of hers.

....

Nevaeh found herself lost, enthralled and petrified by all she had read, and was reading. She had been sitting on the same spot for hours too horrified and engrossed by the information in the book that she had lost track of time. It was the same book she had read yesterday, but it felt like she was reading it for the first time.

The things written in it were exactly the things she and the majority of this world had laughed about. But for the first time she was reading it with the possibility that they were real and honestly, it scared her. It scared her in ways she had never been before. To believe that heaven or hell, demons, angels, witches and their spells were real wasn't something she'd thought she could do.

The maids had come knocking but she had sent them away. Her mind was overwhelmed she needed time to grasp all she had read. She wanted her mind to understand the possibility that all these might be real and true, and that she might have been thrown into a dangerous world where she might end up as a casualty. A snack for some beast.

With everything she had read her curiousity to know what exactly what Dale was, intensified. What if what others had been saying about him was real? What if she hadn't being listening like she has been doing since she came here, and Dale was literally a monster like the ones in her dream?

Nevaeh shuddered at that thought. She still didn't want to believe that. All these things were crazy. She felt she was losing her mind. Maybe she should sleep and when she woke up, she'd realize all these was just one big nightmare, and she'd wake up in her house under her quilt with golden sunrays splashing over her face, ready to be the maid of honor in sister's wedding. She was exhausted from all these nightmares, and the pain.

She felt her head spin when she stood up and her body wavered. She feared she was about to fall but she suddenly felt a strong hand hold her steady. She lifted her eyes up and she saw him looking at her with sad yet angry eyes.

"You should stop now." He said and she nodded. She also wanted to stop. She was tired and hungry, but she didn't want to eat, she wanted to sleep but she knew she couldn't do that. What awaited her was terrifying. Right now she didn't know which of the worlds she experienced was more scarier. Was it the one in her dreams, or this reality that was about to turn into a nightmare of it's own.

She suddenly felt her body mid air. She looked around and that's when she realized she was in his arms. She didn't have any strength in her so she let him carry her. He laid her on the soft bed and walked towards the foot of the bed. Her eyes followed him and she was surprised when he brought a tray towards her.

"I was about scolding you to eat when I walked in." He said when he saw the look on her face. He placed the tray on the bed and sat by her side. Nevaeh looked at the tray of food and fruits before looking at him.

"Thank you." She muttered as she picked up a slice of toasted bread. But after a bite she felt her stomach churn, she feared she might throw up. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She sipped some juice but her stomach churned the more.

"Are you okay?" He asked. She could hear the worry and concern in his voice. Seeing his face which was hundred percent human she didn't know how to believe he couldn't be human. She could see his tightened brows and that was what only humans did right? The worry and concern for her, the words he had said to her, and the things he had done to her, she had experienced them all, so why and how couldn't he be human?

"Are you truly not human?" Her small hoarse voice came asking. She pulled herself up, and her weak hand slowly rose towards his face. Her fingers traced his thick and well lined brows, his perfectly shaped nose, his high cheek bone, and his lips. She lifted her big brownish eyes to him, "How can you not be human, Engel?" For some awkward reason her voice broke as she asked that question. Her eyes couldn't leave his face as he also stared at her.

"I don't know want to believe anymore. The things you want me to believe makes me feel like I've been living a lie, and I'll forever live in fear."

"You don't have to. I'll always protect you." He said removed her hand from his face and held it in his hand.

She looked at their hands before looking back at him. "From what?" She asked. "The monsters in my sleep? Or the physical ones that did these to me?" She stretched her hand and showed him. Dale looked at her hand and sighed. She sighed when he didn't say anything. "Or from you?"

"I'll never hurt you." She believed him. For reasons unknown to her, she believed he'll never hurt her. 'Why?' Why did she trust him so?

She withdrew her hand from his. "If these world of yours is real, I don't I want to be a part of it."

"But Elleanor-" He moved closer to her, but she shook her head.

"I'm exhausted." She said as she lied down. She wasn't exhausted physically, but mentally, so much she was beginning to feel her energy depletes. Dale nodded in understanding while he took the tray away from her side.

"You should sleep." He said as he pulled the quilt over her.

"You know I can't. It's scary over there." She said. And that was why she wanted this part of her world to remain as peaceful and calm as it was right now. No monsters or demon. Nothing.

"Can I hold you?" He asked. Nevaeh stared at him for a while before nodding her head. He walked to the other side of the bed and climbed in, but Nevaeh didn't turn to face him. He placed his hand around her and pulled her closer till her back was against her chest.

"I'll be here." He whispered into her ears while she nodded.

After a few moments of silence, she spoke. "Engel" She called while he answered.

"What if this is also a nightmare?" She asked with her back still turned to him.

Engel leaned in and kissed her hair.. "I can never be your nightmare."
