"Emma"
My shaky gaze averted to Dace and I suddenly found myself almost crying but I held it in, he watched with worried features and read closely.
"Let’s get you out"
I nodded.
"Are you done with your paper?" she asked and Dace raised his finished script to her without even sparing her a glance.
"I need to take Emma to the infirmary"
"O-Of course" she took the paper, adjusting her glasses like she still couldn’t believe he was done.
"Co on" Dace helped up, I noticed his eyes narrowed when he felt my skin.
He lead out of the class, I heard whispers behind but I didn’t care about that right now. Having Dace close I could feel his warmth slipping into my body, I was getting warm, but my teeth kept chattering.
"You’re so cold" I heard him, in his worried tone.
"It was just a dream" I murmured like I would lose my mind any second, maybe I would because I kept replaying what happened.
Dace held more closely than ever and even kept up with even as I dragged my feet against the ground like a sluggish zombie.
It took us forever to get to the infirmary but Dace didn’t bother.
I heard the door and next, I was seated on the bed. With him still keeping close to and holding firm.
"What happened?" I heard Dace’s mom, as well as her clicking heels as she ca towards us.
"She cold"
"Is she sick?"
"No"
"Then?"
"Emma"
I flinched as I slowly raised my gaze to et Dace’s focused eyes on . He didn’t need to say anything to , he need not speak because I knew exactly what his eyes were telling to do.
"I-I-I-It was a dream" I began in a shaky and dim tone I could barely recognize, I sobbed fighting back the tears as terror filled my body.
Dace calloused in his arms and I shivered more.
"Dace" I heard his mom say, she didn’t say anything other than that, but I had a feeling she was letting him know sothing.
I suddenly felt a huge amount of heat radiating from Dace’s body, my teeth stopped chattering and I was covered in his warmth, so hot like it burned and I welcod it because this was exactly what I needed right now, nothing else but to stop my body from reliving that terror and he made my dream co true, he gave that heat and a sense of protectiveness, I felt safe and shielded.
He gently stroked my hair and relaxed more against his embrace with a sigh and relief.
"You can tell , baby," he said in a soft, tender tone. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and planted a kiss on my head. And the courage found as I broke slightly from his embrace, but still kept that distance because I was scared of what might happen if I left his arms. And Dace couldn’t have it any other, with our impossible closeness still evident.
I took so ti to recollect myself, I rembered when Dace dropped at ho, and I was still ogling my new phone, Vanessa was ho and she told that Owen was working on tracking that lady.
And then it was lights out, I rembered cuddling to bed, hoping to sleep early because of our exams the next day and then the realization struck , this was the entire opposite of what I encountered, it really was a...
"It was a dream" I began in a dim tone, as the culmination got to , it felt so real that I doubt that it was, but right now my brain was able to process everything, it really WAS a dream.
"It was cold, so cold, I felt like I was freezing inside" I flinched slightly when Camille took my hand.
She gave a soft smile. "It’s okay..." she spoke in that lodious voice of hers "Keep going, you’re doing good"
I nodded as I observed her checking my pulse.
"A-And then, I saw the vampire that attacked "
I noticed Dace’s body tensing when I ntioned it, I was shaken but he suddenly remained calm and his hand tightly firm on my waist, rubbed gently and I felt the comfort again.
"H-He tried to attack , I tried running but I couldn’t because the house disappeared and then..."
"Hey" he wiped my tears. "It’s okay, it was just a dream"
I nodded with a sob, I wanted his words to be true but in the back of my head, I still felt how real it was.
"Her insides were freezing" Camille began gaining our attention. "If she haven’t woken up, she would have gotten into hypothermia shock"
I think my heart dropped a beat.
"You dreamt that you were in a cold place, your body experiencing the cold ’’ she spoke and then her eyes darted to Dace who was mysteriously silent. And then back to . "Your body was reliving that effect... physically"
"T-T-That’s not possible... It was a dream and..." I paused, and yet it felt so real, I gulped, what was this? I was actually experiencing what I had in my dream in real life.
"You should let your aunt know, I do not need to tell you that this isn’t normal, you know that already"
I gulped hard at her words.
"Dace, keep giving her your body heat, I would have used heating pads but you’re the only one that can keep her warm" her eyes were back to . "I will be back with sothing warm for you to drink, okay?"
I nodded stiffly and she walked away.
I gasped, stunned and confused.
"How long have you been having bad dreams?"
My eyes were back to Dace who had his ardent gaze on , could he tell? That this wasn’t the first? I gulped.
"I had one, back at the hospital," I said faintly, I didn’t put much thought into it, because I figured I was bound to have nightmares because of what I experienced. "And again... at ho" I was confused and slowly my eyes widened, yes nightmares, I have been having a lot lately, which should stop but...
"You don’t think I was cursed because of the book do you?" I asked with wide eyes.
"Shh," he brought back to his arms. "Let’s focus on getting you ward up"
