Chapter 58: Peculiar Feeling

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

Exhaustion was all Nevaeh could feel on the last day. She had tried avoiding everything, including her thoughts, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't. She hasn't felt this mentally exhausted in her life before. Nothing was clear to her, and not one thing made sense.

She had slept off last night even before Dale could return with the food. Hearing Francis' voice and knowing how worried he was, intensified her anxiety, and she had cried herself to sleep despite being scared of what awaited her in her dreams. It seemed reality was more overwhelming and depressing than her dreams. In her dreams, all she knew was fear, and all she had to do was run. But here, she was running from so much more, and no matter how hard she ran, she couldn't escape them.

Though she had tried to sleep, she had a really rough night, as she kept waking at intervals because of her fears. But anytime she opened her eyes, she would see Dale staring at her like he was on guard, and he'd pat her to sleep again. She had noticed he had the light on all night, and it was because of her.

She raised her eyes to Dale, who was standing in front of her with eyes impatiently staring at her and a plate of fruits in his hand while he watched her draw. Did he sleep at all? It seems he was punishing himself for her. He was trying to share in her turmoil.

"I don't think the fruits are necessary. I had my fill at the table, and...and you should sit." She said as she resumed shading.

"You ate nothing yesterday, love. I have to make up for it." She raised her brows and peeked at him. Her eyes slowly took in his gorgeous form. He always looked better and more pleasing to the eyes each passing day. She wondered how she could still do that despite all the traumas she was experiencing at the time - Fantasizing about a man.

A soft sigh escaped her lips as she resumed shading. She heaved another sigh when she saw the finished work of her drawing. She picked it and looked at Dale, her hands stretching out to give it to him.

"This was what I saw in my dream." She said. He had asked her to draw the recent monster she had seen in her dream. Her curious eyes intently bored at him as she observed his countenance.

"How does this help?" She asked when she saw the look on his face. He had asked her to draw it without telling her why.

"At least, now I know what's holding on to you."

Holding on to her?

"You mean—" She paused as her hand travelled to her neck, and her eyes looked at the dark, scary monster in the paper. That thing had gripped her neck and looked like it was trying to take something off her.

Was he trying to say that thing was real?

"Is..is that thing..real?" Her voice wavered as she asked. Her brown eyes glistened with curiosity and fear. She knew she had almost believed their theories after that dream, but...

Dale looked at her and placed the plate on the table before walking towards her. He crouched down in front of her and held her hands while she maintained her gaze on him, nervously waiting for him to answer her.

His hand tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Everything I say to you is real, my love." He answered.

Nevaeh felt her heart softly begin to thump behind her chest. Her racing heart was now a constant sign of her fears.

Her mouth slightly gaped, but nothing came out.

It was real?

Dale sighed when he saw the look on her face. She wasn't going to believe him too, was she?

He looked at her hand that seemed far worst than anything he could imagine. The cut has eaten deeper and looked really ugly.

"How's the pain?" He asked.

She lowered her eyes to her hand and replied. "Worse."

He trailed his fingers around the cut and dark lines that ran up her arm. "I'll take this off you, I promise." He raised her hand to his lips and placed a kiss on them. She could see the sincerity and determination in his eyes; she didn't doubt him. But how was he going to take it off? He wouldn't even let her see a physician.

"I'll be back." He told her.

Was he leaving again?

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"To find a way to kill that monster." He replied, making her eyes widen.

"K-kill?" She muttered under her breath. His lips curved up into a smile when he saw her innocent, scared look in her eyes. She was so easy to read. Though her thoughts were hidden to him, he could still guess all her thoughts with the sincere emotions that constantly flickered through her eyes. It was as if those eyes of hers were a mirror to her soul. So pure and true.

"You should eat. I'll be back before lunch." He told her with a smile, but she wasn't smiling back at him; instead, she was reeking of fear, and the now intense sound of her pounding heart could attest to it.

It was one thing to believe in demons, and it was another to hear her husband say he was going to kill one. 'Her husband?' Well, that wasn't the issue at hand.

That thing in her dream was strong and scary. It exuded an ominous scent. If it was real, he shouldn't be going after something like that. It...it could hurt him.

Her heart race increased even more, and her hands slowly began to fidget.

"Engel." She softly called as she held his hand, making him furrow his brows. "Please don't go." She begged. She didn't know what she was doing, but she couldn't let him go. Real or not, she didn't want him hurt. There was a strange protective feeling for him stirring in her heart.

An odd yet familiar feeling pricked her so badly she didn't want him to leave.

He cupped her cheek and smiled, "You don't have to fear, honey. I'll be fine." His smile was calm and assuring, but it didn't calm her heart.

"Engel, please." She desperately pleaded, but he kissed her hands.

"I'm just going out to find some answers, love. Even if I want to kill it now, it doesn't stand a chance." He told her.

He was going to get some answers? And not do anything like killing? Her worried eyes looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was telling the truth.

She sighed when she thought he wouldn't lie to her. She nodded and slowly let go of his hand. She didn't know what had come over her, but she had had a peculiar feeling.

He rubbed his hand down her hair while smiling at her. His bewitching eyes glowed in a way that made her once-raging heart flutter. "Don't miss me much." He said while she nodded.

She has always tried not to, but her stupid heart always reacted differently.

He stood up and pushed the fruits closer to her. "Don't leave a piece of it." He told her. He was ordering her, and she knew it. She didn't think she'd be able to finish it all, but she nodded anyway.

"Good. I'll be back soon." He told her while she nodded again.

Dale had only taken a few steps when she stopped him. "Wait." She said. She stood to her feet and walked to the side of the table.

"Laila-" She said and paused. "I want to talk to her." Her lips pursed when she saw the way his brows furrowed.

"Why?" He asked. He sounded indifferent and not ecstatic to have her see the person she wanted.

Why? Why did she want to see her? She also wanted answers for that too. Or maybe she already has it.

"I want some answers too." She said.

She waited as he silently stared at her as if trying to decide if he should grant her request or not.

She heard him sigh, "Don't get too familiar with her." He said, making her nod obediently. She could tell he wasn't really into the idea of having her talk to Laila.

"How do I reach her?" She asked when he was turning around.

"Call her name." He said and walked out.

...

Happy new year, everyone.

We made it!

It has been quite a year. To some of us, it has been a great year; to others, a challenging year. In all, we scaled through, and here we are. We're most grateful to God for being faithful.

I appreciate every one of you for your love, support and understanding in the last months. I'm grateful. I can't love you enough.

For this new year, I pray it brings us the positive things that the past years couldn't, and even more. May each day of this year bring you and your family happiness and joy.

Happy new year!

Love.. Da_Rose.
