Chapter 287: The aning Of A Shared Dream
My heartbeat pounded in my chest like a deadly race and I couldn’t steady it nor my wide eyes as well as my chaotic thoughts. I drew sharply on my breath as I closed my eyes for a brief second before opening them but yet it still remained the sa.
"Is that your mom?" Grayson asked beside .
"Y-Yes "
"But we saw you last ti... then why her now"
"Because it was always her," I said in fruition watching as my mom wailed in pain as the doctors kept telling her to push. "This dream has a aning, I think it has to do with my mom and I know this hospital too" I faced him.
"Yes..." I said, taking a deep breath. "Washington General Hospital, March 27th. The day we were both born"
I noticed he flinched the mont I said those words and then he paused and looked around.
"Does this an my mom’s here?"
"Yes... your real mom"
He moved before I could stop him.
"Grayson, wait!" I followed as he checked from door to door.
"I rember the door number from my mom’s dairy," he said in haste as he kept searching and I just followed until he ca to a halt.
"This is it," he said as his jaw tightened.
"Grayson"
"I have to see her even though this one ti," he said with pleading eyes, and I nodded understanding his pain, and curiosity to lay eyes on his mom.
"Then do it, there isn’t much ti we might wake up soon and now we have found the reason for this dream we might not co back here again," I said hastily because I could feel my body already waking up.
Grayson nodded as he gripped the doorknob ready to open it, he took a deep breath, and then he did. We both walked in but found an empty room.
"It’s empty," Grayson said walking around the void room. "Where is she? Where is my mom?"
I was about to say sothing but the sudden loud sound of a baby crying ca through and I rushed back to the lobby. I knew without a doubt that my mom had given birth to . But sothing felt off, because...
"There’s another baby crying"
Grayson rushed to
and stared at the lobby too. "Your mom is around here sowhere," I said without a doubt because I knew we were born at the sa ti, she must have been moved away from that room into another.
"Gray-"
~
I gasped awake and I sat up with a start, panting like I just ran a marathon, until the realization got to
that I was awake and no longer in that dream with Grayson
"Emma"
I darted my eyes to Dace standing before , I was about to say sothing but a knock ca on my door.
"Emma honey?"
Shit, it’s my mom!
I turned to Dace.
"Call " he states and I nodded. I knew he didn’t want to leave but regardless he did, and like a blur, he was gone from my sight. I rushed to my door and opened it.
"Mom, hey"
"Hey honey, are you awake?"
I nodded.
"How are you feeling? I know it must have hurt last night"
"Yeah but I’m better now," I said, clearing my throat.
"Is your cat here? I couldn’t find him"
’"Oh, he’s..." I turned to my bed and found my fur baby seated on it and watching us. "Awake"
*ow*
"I see he must have snuck out of my room"
"Yeah, he helped with the pain, I had a nice sleep"
"Good to know that, co down for breakfast okay?"
I nodded. "I will as soon as I wash up"
She smiled at
before walking away and I took a breath of relief shutting my door and resting on it before running my hands through my hair.
"That was close" I mumbled and then my phone rang and I rushed to it and saw the caller.
"Grayson"
"Are you awake?"
"Yes, you?"
"Just now. Are you sure Emma? My mom’s there right?"
"She is... but the dream I’m not so sure we will relieve it again"
"I see" he sounded downhearted.
"I’m so sorry Grayson"
"It’s okay, you know about this more than I do so I trust you"
"It..." I paused when a realization struck .
"What? You okay?"
"I think there is a way," I said sitting on my bed.
"A way? What way?" he sounded desperate now.
"There was a ti I saw Owen’s mom, her spirit actually and there was this spell to connect to her. Grayson if your mother is a witch then I think there is a way to connect to her spirit and send her off to her ancestors, she might be trying to reach us and since I was born in the sa hospital there’s a connection"
"Okay... then how do we do that?"
I sighed. "That’s the problem, we need sothing close or sothing that belongs to her, to connect to her spirit"
"I don’t have anything of hers," he said in a downhearted tone, and I felt a sting in my chest and I regretted saying that out loud when I knew he clearly doesn’t have any connection with his mother.
"I’m sorry"
"It’s okay, thanks Emma, I will call you later"
I was about to say sothing but he ended the call.
I exhaled sharply. "What am I gonna do?" I said to myself because I really wanted to help him, there was a reason I was connected to this, I was convinced that his mom’s spirit was trying to reach us, just like when Owen’s mom did.
*ow*
I turned to Tiger Jnr who just stared at .
"There has to be sothing I can do right?"
~
"Jesus this work just keeps piling up!" my mom growled as she typed through her laptop rubbing my forehead. "There are so many tickets I need to work on, this is a busy week"
"You know there’s no reason to stay longer," I said, chewing on my toast.
"I took a leave when I heard the incident but the work still followed
here"
I nodded in understanding, I knew why she did that, because of
and my condition but I was fine now so she could leave if she wants but I don’t think she will any ti soon, not after everything. She probably wants to strip
in her suitcase and take
with her.
I looked around the house, seeing no sign of Vanessa. She must have gone to work.
"Fuck!" my mom cursed and I set my eyes back on her.
"You know I have to go to Washington"
"What?"
"Hayden has a concert, I gotta be there, or else my manager will kill
with calls here with where is where and what is what, they can’t find anything without . I don’t think I can take another brainstorming call, that is torture"
"A concert in Washington?"
She faces . "Yeah, I know you’re nostalgic right now, that’s where you grew up after all" she smiled.
That’s it!
"Um, mom?"
"Yes, honey?"
"Can I go with you"
She narrowed her eyes at
almost like she couldn’t believe the words I said.
"You’re right I might be nostalgic right now and it would be a change of air for , you know after everything that has happened"
She smiled warmly at
and placed her hand on mine. "That’s wonderful honey, wouldn’t hurt to spend ti together, it might be work but it’s a concert a night before New year we could party away"
I giggled as she made antics with it.
"Will tell your aunt when she gets back, too bad because I know she won’t co with us, she will probably be busy with you know the voodoo stuff"
Please I do not want her to co! Because if she does my plan won’t work!
"Yeah you’re right she will be busy"
She shrugged going back to her laptop and I brought the cup of juice to my lips that stretched in a smile.
How co I didn’t think of this? The closest place to Grayson’s mom was the hospital where she gave birth to him! I can connect with her spirit there, Grayson will get a chance to see his mom!
~
’"Washington?"
"Yes," I said, taking a seat on the bed and facing Dace who sat on my chair near my study table. He just sat there with his eyes on
like a hawk and I had no choice but to continue, I bet he was curious right now because I told him everything, about Grayson being a warlock, the dream.
"There I can connect with his mom’s spirit"
"Doesn’t that involve doing magic?"
There was a certain change to the air around us.
"Yes it does"
And he sighed running his temples as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his lap and I gulped. "I thought we talked about this"
