Chapter 915: Chapter 100- Talia – About The Nightmare Part 1 (VOLU 5)
~~
Talia
~~
The entire ti that Ada was with after the vision, be it in the classroom, hallway and office, I had to force myself not to look at her. I had to avoid seeing her right now because all that I saw when I looked at her face was a pale white expression of fear that was frozen in place. Tears silently streaming down her cheeks that mixed with the blood that stread steadily from the rune carved into her forehead. It was horrible, and I didn’t want to think of my friend in that way.
Lex had carried to the SUV and set in the passenger seat, he even buckled up since I didn’t seem to be doing it for myself. After I was situated, he walked around to the driver’s side and slid into his seat.
“Are you doing OK, Talia?” He looked at as he pressed the button to start the engine.
“A..as well as I can be, I guess.” I was still feeling weak and tired as I answered him. I just wanted to get ho and rest until I had to talk to mom and dad about this.
.....
“Did you call your parents as well?” He asked as he started to pull away from the curb.
“No, not yet. They are in a eting, so I didn’t want to bother them. I will tell them what happened later, when they are not quite as busy.”
“We should go to see them right when we get back to the palace. They will want to know about this.” He was looking at the road and not , but I knew that he had a serious expression on his face.
“I know.” I hung my head in sha. I knew that I should have called them, but I didn’t want to be a bother.
“I will take you to see them when we get back.” He didn’t ask, he was telling that this was how things were going to go.
“OK.” I didn’t even argue with him. “B..but, can you take upstairs to our ho and then get them for . I don’t want to see the others just yet. Just Mom and Dad.” He looked at then, his eyes concerned.
“Yes, I can do that.” He was making steady progress toward the gated community that housed the castle. The entrance that led into Trinity Falls rather than Colorado Springs.
“I am sorry, Lex.” I spoke softly. Had he not had super hearing like a wolf, then he wouldn’t have heard it at all.
“There is no need to apologize, Talia. You didn’t do anything wrong. You didn’t ask for this.” His voice was calming while the words were reassuring, but I still couldn’t stop blaming myself. I don’t know why, but I felt like this was all my fault, like I had made all of this happen.
“Still, I am sorry.” I said the words again and slipped into silence. Lex didn’t say anymore after that and neither did I. He just drove us into the underground garage and parked the car.
Lex was getting out of the car when I tried to make my body move. It still didn’t want to listen to . I felt weak and like my body had been sapped of all strength. I know that I wasn’t like this after the last premonition. I was able to move that ti. Then again, I had actually been asleep that ti, not sitting awake in a classroom. Maybe that was why it was different. Maybe the state of my mind and body being different was the cause for the difference.
Well, whatever the cause for it was, I wasn’t able to move. I was about to turn toward Lex and tell him that my body still wouldn’t move, but he had already shut his door. I was watching through the windshield then as he ca toward my door. He already knew that I still needed to be carried.
“Co on.” He said as he picked up from the seat. “Up you go.” He cradled against his chest and grabbed my bag. I thought that it was a little funny really. Lex with that pink and purple bag slung over his shoulder just didn’t present the sa look that he would typically have when I imagined him. That was just a little too feminine and childish for his normal appearance.
“Thank you, Lex.” I said as I clung to him.
“Of course.” He smiled calmly at . “Though Talia, might I ask how you managed to get to the office if you can’t walk right now?” He sounded strange. Was he thinking that I was lying or sothing?
“Mr. Amadeus carried . I almost fell when I went to stand up, but he caught and carried to the office. He is strong too, but not as strong as you are.” I had a feeling that complinting Lex right now was a good idea. He seed to be a little off and I didn’t want to upset him.
“Hmmrmmrmm.” There was a strange growling humming sound that ca from his throat. I knew that he was acknowledging what I said, but he wasn’t happy about it.
“He didn’t hurt , Lex. I am fine. He helped .” He still didn’t really answer , but he did nod his head as if he understood what was happening.
We were silent after that. Lex took into the elevator and hit the button for the living room of our royal tower. This was the only elevator that actually went to that part of the ho as well as the other floors. In truth, it was a magical elevator since it wasn’t located anywhere near the tower, but it still took us there. I always felt like I was in that chocolate factory from that really old movie. I think that it was like seventy years old now. It was older than my mom and her mom, that was for sure. It ca out in like the nineteen seventies, I think. Still, it was a nice movie, I liked it.
When the elevator opened up, I was shocked by the sight that t us. Mom and dad were standing right there waiting for us.
“Mom? Dad?” I gasped when I saw them.
“Talia!” They both called my na when they rushed over.
“I was just going to see you two, after I set Talia down here.” Lex said with just as much surprise in his voice.
“You should have called us Alexio. As soon as she called you.” Dad yelled at him angrily. I didn’t like the tone in his voice. He was mad, and it was my fault.
“I thought that she had called you, King Reece.” Lex continued walking into the room so that he could sit on the love seat by the fire. After that, he stood to face my parents with determination on his face. “It wasn’t until after we left the school and were driving back here that I found out that she didn’t call you. I told her we needed to see you two right away, but she asked for to bring her up here first and then get you myself. She didn’t want the others in the eting to see her like this.”
“I am sorry, Daddy.” I was on the verge of tears when I spoke to him. I had made him so angry. “I..I knew that you were in a eting and I didn’t want to disturb you. That was why I was going to wait until Alexio got ho to tell you.”
“It’s OK, sweetheart.” Dad dropped to his knees in front of . “It’s OK. I am not mad at you. It’s OK.”
“Don’t be mad at Alexio either, please. This is my fault.”
“It’s OK, Talia.” Mom ca over and kissed on top of my head. “It’s OK. We were just worried. The secretary at your school called us and told us that sothing happened, but she didn’t know what it was. We were so worried about you. That’s why we were here, waiting for you to get ho.”
“I’m sorry, Momma.” I started to sob. “I didn’t an to cause problems.”
“It’s alright.” She hugged to her chest and rubbed my hair. “What happened? Tell us what happened to you.”
“I..I..I had a..a..another vision.” I had to force the words out. It was so hard to say them with how upset that I felt.
“A vision?” Mom’s sharp intake of breath made it clear that she was shocked by this developnt. “What happened honey?”
“Was it one of those people, from that sa group as before?” Dad was trying not to trigger too many mories for . He knew how upset I had been when I learned that my dream that I had that night was real. And here I was having another one of them.
“Yes, Daddy. It was them. They were killing my friends.”
The way that Mom and Dad both gasped at that, the sound of their voices with just that quick inhalation of breath, that told so much. They were scared. They were worried. And they were angry.
I was sure that their anger wasn’t directed at , but I was the one that was sitting right in front of them. I was the one that could feel the waves of emotions that were rolling off of them. And that ant that I was even more scared than I had already been.
