"No! Don't touch me," I yelled on his face. He looked confused but he did not say anything and just let me walk away from him.
Shaking, I moved away from the scene with a scared heart. What the hell is happening to me. Why am I seeing these things. Fucking fuck!
"Golden," a familiar voice called. I looked around but all I see is Chosens with dead eyes. My legs start to turn noodles. I hate this feeling. I hate this. Someone make this stop!
"Golden," the voice called again.
"God Hlaford?" I whispered weakly. I looked around trying to find him but I failed.
"Yes, my child. Go to my office. I can help you," he said. I sighed in relief. Yes. Of course, the god of Spheria can help me. I did not waste any time and start walking to the halls to God Hlaford's chambers.
I knocked three times before entering his office. My heart is pounding so hard in my chest. I immediately saw the god of Spheria sitting on his office chair. My eyes widened when I saw his pet eagle beside him.
That's Freeda.
"Have a seat," he offers. I forced a smile and sit on the chair just in front him. I can feel Freeda's stares following me like a strict CCTV camera. Should I tell god Hlaford about it? That his pet, eagle, is actually an impostor?
"Pardon me for watching your without your knowledge. My bludgeon hears your cry and I thought you might need my help. Mind telling me what has been scaring you?" he asked. He sounded like a father and I couldn't help it but feel comfortable to tell him the truth.
The reason why I'm running away like a lunatic.
"I see them with pitch black eyes. I'm afraid that yours might turn like one too," I confessed. I did not want to sound scared and it ended up that way. An emotions crossed his eyes swiftly. I could not tell if it is pity or sadness. But I could tell that he has something on the back of his head.
No. I will not back out no more. I will tell him what has been eavesdropping in his chamber. I don't care anymore if she is innocent or what. She is not supposed to stay in here and pretend like the god's dearest pet. She is not an eagle. She is a shapeshifter!
"I have something I've been wishing to tell you," I started. His brows arched. I glanced at his bird and my jaw clenched when I saw its eyes turning red.
"Your eagle is fake. She is Freeda!" I told him. His eyes remained blank. He did not look shock or anything. It was like as if he was expecting me to tell it to him. What the hell?
"God Hlaford?!" I hysterically called and glanced at his eagle. Its eyes are now normal and shaking its wings like a normal bird.
If he does not react now, the bird might lock his neck. This is not going as planned.
My face turned white when the god of Spheria suddenly smirked wickedly at me. His eyes turned black. I flinched on my sit and backed away. What the hell is going on?!
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" he laughed like an evil menace. I was about to stand up and leave when the room changed. It became a dark and scary place. I froze in place. Someone please help me!
I wanted to open my mouth and scream for help but no voice came out.
The corner of my eyes started to heat. I was not able to hold my ears and it started falling from my eyes. I tried to move but my body's stuck in place. What the hell is happening to me?!
His evil laugh is still ringing my ears. Shut up! Shut up!
"You think you can get away Golden? You can not fill your faith. You will be killed! The serpent will come back to life to kill you and Damon! You will not win this battle. You will not bring peace in Vortaxia! You will be a failure!" he screamed. I know that he is not God Hlaford. I don't know what he is not the god I know and that is for sure.
'Shut up!' is the freaking sentence that won't come out of my mouth.
"Golden!"
What?
"Golden!"
Is that Damon?
"Golden! Wake up."
Damon! Help me!
"OPEN YOUR EYES!"
The next thing I knew is I'm in his arms gasping for air. What the hell. His worried green eyes welcomed me. I immediately wrap my arms around his neck. I'm so scared that he'll disappear again.
"You're having a bad dream," he whispers. I gulped nervously and scanned the place. We're in our room. Not in God Hlaford's chamber.
"What happened to me?" I asked and pulled myself away from him. He heaves a sigh.
"You were sleeping for so long. It's already noon," he answers. My forehead creased. Noon? It was noon when it happened. When did I start dreaming?
"What happened yesterday?" I asked. He looked at me and smiled.
"We made love," he whispers.
We did? I peaked on my body and my eyes grew big when I saw my naked body. Oh my gosh! We did make love.
"What did you see in your dreams?" he asked. I looked away and give myself some time to process what's happening. My heart is still pounding so hard. I'm glad that I'm only dreaming but it felt so real.
"It's something bad. Like really bad." My voice broke. He caressed my face and planted a kiss on my forehead. It was too late for me to realize that I'm already crying.
"Look at me," he says. I wiped my tears and stare at his beautiful eyes. He has a comforting smile on his face and that touch my heart. "It's all a dream."
I smiled. Yes, it's all a dream and none of it is real. I am in his arms and that's what's real. I am safe in his arms and that's what's real. He's looking at me with the same heart in his eyes and that's what is real.
We showered together after that. We're headed to the dining hall and though I'm still scared that their eyes might turn pitch black. I was able to hold my fear because of the man beside me. If it weren't for him, I might have dropped on the floor like a dead potato already.
I like how he makes me feel safe and sound all the time.
This is my man. My real man.
I haven't told him the full detail of my dream yet but I know that he's just holding himself. He doesn't want to creep fear in me and I really appreciate that thoughtfulness of his.
I need to see God Hlaford. I know that he knows what's happening to me. There's no turning back.
We will see Fiscio.
