Chapter 83 Dreams?

Chapter 83 Dreams?
Elena's POV

I could feel Ayra coming forward to face whoever it was that grabbed me.

But I froze in place as I saw who was standing in front of me.

“Ashley? What are you doing here? How did you even get here?” I was confused.

“Help me El! Please help me, he's coming for me again!” She looked panicked and tired.

“Who's coming for you?” I tried to hold her but my hand went through hers.

“What is this?” I tried to touch her face but I went through her again.

“Please Elena! Don't leave me.” She said as she fell down and cried.

“I won't, I promise I won't,” I was crying too.

“Ashley?” She was fading away.

“Please Elena.”

I tried to grab her one last time as something pulled me back.

“Hey, hey you are okay,” I opened my eyes to see Liam's face.

“What-what happened?” I asked and then I remembered. “Ashley, she's in danger, I need to help her,” I pushed myself up, trying to get out of the bed.

“Woah, slow down Elena, Ashley's safe, Josh and Clara just got back from checking up on her a while ago.”

“That can't be true she was just- she was screaming for me to help her,” I said.

“I think you should lay back and rest, Sarah was the one who told me that you were glowing again,”

“I was?”

“Yes, she tried to work you up but couldn't, I was already on my way because something felt wrong,”

I looked at my hands. Could that dream have been part of Ciara's torture? Maybe but I can't let Liam find out about that, he's already dealing with too much, I can't have him worrying about me in my sleep too.

“Maybe you are right but I'll just call Ashley to be sure” I picked up my phone and called her.

“Hello?” I breathed out in relief from hearing her voice.

“Hey Ash, how are you?, I know it's really late right now but I just wanted to check up on you,” I said.

“Oh, I'm fine, I went back home to stay with mom and dad, sorry I didn't tell you.”

“It's alright,” I said. “Are you sure you are okay?”

“Of course, why wouldn't I be?”

“No reason, Goodnight then.”

“Goodnight.”

I was about to say I love you but she already ended the call.

“How do you feel now?” Liam asked as he gave me a small smile.

“Better,” I lied. “I guess I was just having a bad dream.”

“Elena, if there's something bothering you, you know you can tell me right?” He was staring into my eyes now.

I nodded. “I'm really fine, I was probably just glowing because Arya is getting stronger everyday,” I lied again.

I don't know if Liam was able to read my mind or emotions yet or he was pretending he couldn't but I really hoped for the first option.

It would break his heart to know I was lying but I just couldn't tell him.

He got up from the chair he was sitting on and walked to the other side of the bed.

He laid down and wrapped his arms around me.

He kissed my forehead. “You don't have to do this alone, let me be strong for you too.”

“You have already done enough for me,” I whispered.

“I can do more,” he stroked my hair.

I knew he could go all night arguing about what he would sacrifice for me, so I stopped talking and just breathed in his scent.

It was already calming me down.

I pushed away the thought Ciara and her invasion on my dreams.

“Sleep Elena,” he said as he continued stroking my hair.

And so I closed my eyes and drifted away.

I groaned as I opened my eyes as someone was knocking on my door.

“Who's that?” I asked as I reached to ouch the other side of the bed and Liam wasn't there.

“It's Sarah, you weren't at the hall for breakfast this morning, I just wanted to check if you were okay.”

I was awake now. I looked at my phone.

It was past 12pm.

I had actually slept for most of the day.

Why didn't Liam wake me up?

“Elena?”

“Oh sorry, I'm fine Sarah,” I shouted so she could hear me from outside.

“Give a few minutes, I will be down,” I got out of bed, feeling very light.

“Okay,” she said.

I was supposed to have training today with Scott and go see Jane at the orphanage.

How was I going to do all that now?

I got into the bathroom immediately and took my bath.

I popped on some jeans and a blue top with my usual black boots.

I looked at the mirror as I applied some lipstick.

I had noticed my eyes had changed, they were the violet I once knew, they were now deep purple.

I wasn't sure how I felt about this.

Do you know what it means? I asked Arya.

Of course she was sleeping. I laughed to myself.

I got out of the chair and picked up my phone about to leave when Liam entered the room.

“There's my mate who forgot to wake me up,” I folded my arms.

“I need you to rest and I don't regret it, you can hate all you want,” he teased.

“Well, I will, and you can't make it up to me,” I turned my head away like a spoiled child.

“Well, maybe a trip, could help?”

I turned and looked at him. “What trip? To where?”

“I guess you'd have to forgive me to find out,” he smirked.

My curiosity got the better of me. “Oh fine.”

“That wasn't long,”

“So where are we going?”
