Chapter 153: Perseverance
Beau.
The pain from this is imnse.
Maybe it is the fact that I have failed. The last thing I saw before being sucked into this dark, dark world was Lanis. I am supposed to be the one that protects him. I am the one that he should depend on him and I cants even open my eyes makes this all the more frustrating to .
I am in my head right now.
The mont I open my eyes, It feels like an out of body experience. The darkness engulfs , completely taking over.
’’You thought you could get into my head, you thought you would win,’’ through the darkness, I see him. Slowly he walks closer to , his eyes shining brightly in this neverland.
’’Cassius,’’ I breathe out his na. I have said his na too much. I am living too much for this man. I just want him dead and away from my life.
’’the one and only,’’ he outstretches his hands out in the air with a wide smile.
’’I owe it all to you. Tonight will go exactly as I planned. All thanks to you.’’ He smiles warmly, almost like he is bragging about his accomplishnts. The banging in my head has subsided but this doesn’t feel real. I am in my head again.
’’Oh you are not in your head,’’ he reads my mind imdiately, telling
that there is no escape ’’You are in my head,’’ he winks and then gets on one knee next to . His eyes bore into , that grief-stricken smile still plastered on his face.
’’How is this possible, what is going on.’’
I want to wake up. I don’t want to be here.
’’The mont you wake up, you will be dead.’’ He grins and shines his teeth, reading my mind again. How is he even doing this?
I don’t even know what he is talking about?
With this man, I can’t even have a fair fight. That is what I ant when I said he is strategic. He doesn’t just solely depend on his strength. Here I was thinking I had a shot and he dragged
away from reality.
’’There is no such thing as a fair fight.’’
At this point, I don’t even know why I even have my thoughts when he is barging in on them. I want him out of my head and I want him out of it now.
’’You won’t succeed. You think you have won but you are so far from winning. .even if you kill us all Gyles will still be dead. You will never be loved. It will all be pointless.’’
I am aggravating him. he doesn’t deserve to know that the man he is fighting for is no more. I want him to suffer from the mories he has. The way he thinks it went down. I don’t want him to get the opportunity to see that man again.
’’I don’t care. All I care about is ending you and your kind.’’
’’You will forever be known as the monster. No matter how good you think you are,’’ I spit out those words to him.
’’it takes a monster to do things for the greater good,’’ he tells
like he is even making any sense. I want to leave this state and wake up. I am strong enough to take him if he even gives
the fucking chance.
He nods his head and then slowly reaches out for ; he rests his palm on my face and I cringe from the touch. Cassius is a monster. He is the worst person to ever exist and if I cannot succeed in ending him then I hope Lanis does it for the both of us.
’’I wish I didn’t have to do this. you all think I am such a terrible person, but this is for the greater good.’’
His delusion is getting to him again.
Most villains think what they are doing is the right thing. That is how it usually is. They are all heroes in their own stories but the person that is killing innocent people for no reason whatsoever is the monster.
’’I tried to make you understand. I tried to make you see things clearer, but you have chosen to be blind to it all. There is nothing else I can do to help you. Just get ready for your death. I am truly sorry about everything.’’
This hurts the more because he actually sounds genuine. I try to move away from him, but sothing is tying
down. my legs and hands are not working at this mont. I feel stiff and tied up.
’’Please don’t do this,’’ I beg hopeful that he will co to his senses in the last minute. I know he is not going to from the look in his face. his eyes show hatred. He is buried in too deep. There is no getting him out of it and saving him.
Cassius is gone.
He points his index finger at my forehead and his eyes stay fixed to mine. ’’This will be painless, I promise.’’ He smiles warmly.
The mont his finger touches my face, I feel a jolt of electricity. This ti, my eyes open wide and I see Lanis and everyone else. It feels like I am being lifted off the ground. My eyes hands and legs burn. I feel like I am on fire. The crowd in the woods look like they have been multiplied. People I don’t recognise. His troop. The army he gathered. They are all here. I don’t know how long i was out for but from the looks of things, I must have been for a while.
My heart throbs against my chest and in a split second, I try to reach for him. I try to hold him one last ti but the closer I stretch my hands, the farther he seems.
His scream echoes through the trees and the last thing I see is his tears as they fall from his eyes. the pain in his eyes will forever be engraved in my head.
The disappointnt will forever linger.
’’I’m sorry,’’ I manage as things black out again. This ti feels different like the other ti. This ti seems more permanent.
’’Daddy,’’ I open my eyes and the cutest eyes peer up at
from the pillow in front of him. My heart races in my chest as I reach out for him. He rests his head on my chest and I pull him even closer as I pat his hair gently.
’’Another nightmare?’’ Lanis walks into the room and my eyes shoot up to him imdiately. There is a smile on his face as he climbs into the bed, distracting the boy in my arms. This is not Colm. The one from the last dream. Is this my second baby?
’’Are you okay?’’ Lanis asks as the little by shifts away from
and to my mate.
’’The evil man again?’’
The boy nods his head ’’He said he was going to take you and daddy away from ,’’ he cries, his eyes finding mine again.
I am always in shock whenever I get into these dreams. I can’t think straight at all the possibilities. Having a family with Lanis. two beautiful boys. It is all so surreal to .
’’No one is taking us away from you... Not even the evil man.’’
I look at Lanis and there is a serious expression on his face. The kind that makes
feel all gooey on the inside.
’’We had a real evil man. His na was Cassius. He tried so hard to keep
and your father apart.’’
’’Did he win?’’ my boy asks with a hopeful expression on his face.
Lanis smiles and then looks at
again ’’He almost did but our love and perseverance were just too much for him. we are both here, aren’t we?’’ he asks my kid who just nods his head in agreent. Lanis reaches for
and I grab his hand in mine ’’Do not be afraid. No bad man can take you away from us.’’
He is talking to my son but it seems like he is talking to . like his assurance is ant for . I know I died. I felt my heart stop so what does all this an.
’’Promise?’’
Lanis nods his head imdiately ’’I promise Colin,’’ he assures him. I smile because this is the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed.
’’Promise daddy?’’ colin faces
and my hearts lt from how adorable he is.
I look at lanis, then my kid and my heart fills up with love. Shit, I can’t leave this life behind. It is not over until I say so. I will not leave like this. I have to fight to wake up. I need to make this dream a reality.
I need this life with Lanis and my babies.
Cassius will not win this ti.
