Chapter 42

I spent half an hour sitting while I smoked and then the last hour just meandering around my estate. I often did this and wondered what others were up to and if they had troubles like mine. I noticed the moon tonight was bigger than usual and an orange type colour to it. All though it looked cool I thought nothing else of it and as I checked my clock I saw it was 9:45 and decided I would make my way home. The strange buzzing in my head was back. I could tell this time i was a lot more high than usual and as i got in the door i tried to be as sneaky and quiet as possible however every action seemed to create a cacophony of sound and the more i tried to be quiet the louder i seemed to be.i quickly abandoned this stealthy method and instead just rushed to my room so i could once again hide my smoke and try and get some sleep. As I lay in bed I felt myself begin to fall under the calming presence of sleep. This time the nightmare was a lot more vivid, almost like a memory rather than a dream. It played out as usual except for the end ounce again this had changed. I was now standing in front of the rock where I had previously been chained. I could see the figure strapped to the rock with huge metal chains that seemed to glow with a dim golden light. The figure lifted its head and spoke clearly

“You are one of the fallen, my legacy has been passed to you and now you must find the others. You don't have long, the most high grows weary and see no redemption for humanity. I give you my gifts so that you may show the most high that anyone can be redeemed, this gift is also a burden and for that i am sorry but you are the best candidate please go forth and gather the fallen you will know them by the mark they bear like your own”

As he said the last word my wrist once again began to burn. I looked down and saw clearly the same winged heart symbol.

“Once you have gathered the fallen bring them before me and i will show you how to enter his kingdom”

I woke up in a cold rush this time. I knew it was more than just a dream. Before I did anything else I looked up about the moon on psychic sights and found that during the super blood moon the veil between our world and the others becomes thinner. This can allow for communication between realms. I wasn't sure if this meant someone from another universe was trying to contact me or if I was genuinely going abit crazy. As I was trying to figure this out my phone buzzed. It was Emily

“ I wondered if you were free today my parents are out of town for the night so you can stay over if you wanted? “

My mind went into overdrive. I wanted to see her but I also knew I should really be meeting up with Abbey and Mick after the sudden rush to leave. I sent a reply

“Sure i just got to run some errands till about 2pm but i'm free after that and would love to stay over”

My next move was to text my mum. “I'm going to be staying at my new friends tonight so i will see you tomorrow xx”

I had never sent kisses to my mum before but i thought this might prevent her from asking moire questions and my assumption was proven correct when i got a simple reply

“Ok have fun stay safe xx”

I then turned my attention to messaging mick

“Hey wondered if you and abbey wanted to hang out till about 2 then indeed to do go home and do school work as i want to get it done and out the way” i knew mick would buy this excuse as i did it every year after 3 or 4 days of not doing any of it i would spend a whole afternoon doing everything just so i didn't have to worry about it and could spend the rest of the summer doing whatever i wanted.

“Yeah can do but i think abbey said she wasn't feeling well maybe she caught what you had specially with all the kissing you were doing”

I knew this light hearted ribbing meant Mick was in a good mood and I had made up for my previous behaviour.

I messaged abbey as i walked to micks

“Hope your doing alright sorry if i gave you whatever i had i love you xxxx”

I knew that I hadn't given her anything as I was not actually ill the other day. I just needed an excuse to be able to go to Jordan but I couldn't tell Abbey this. Not yet anyway, maybe once we had been together for longer.
