Chapter 8: Reminiscing Out of Control?
**_**
Within’s POV
“I’m here again?” she muttered, with a scoff I joked “Well yes, you’re very insistent to stay here today” she had woken up a bit in her time and apparently time moves fast here, she was gone for a while. I slowly paced myself up the side staircase of this reality, “Where are you now...?” she asked and I saw her trying to properly look around. “I won’t allow you to move my darling”. I said as I leaned on the handrails, and, I motioned a flick with my hand, a sort of magical control to strengthen my hold on my command. This is her head after all. I’m not supposed to be in full control of this place. “Why can I not look at you? “She whined, completely frustrated. I clapped my hands, “now, now dear, don’t be stressed. I told you; you have to answer with the clue I gave you”. I telepathically moved a chair to her along with a poof and appearance of a pen and paper on her hands. She sat down and she relaxed onto the chair. She fidgets on the pen with her eyes closed. She needs to get something done or we won’t be moving on.
“I don’t know what to write” she mumbled, clearly talking to herself. The clock has been ticking slowly after a few minutes, is she seriously falling asleep? Well in this reality, falling asleep makes her wake up in the real world, vice versa as well, if the readers have been keen so far to the switch. “You do know darling, -you always know”, I sighed. I’ve missed her so much and yet I cannot do anything about it. Her figure is for sure different outside, yet here, seeing her flowing hair and hourglass figure, even looking behind her I know she still is my love, because I still feel her, wanting to tease her, surprise her. Alas, she does not know who I am anymore. I know she does not. She once did though.
But the time wasn’t right!
Fate was certainly confused… I hope the gods do not bestow anguish on the both of us.
I need to calm down, I walked to a chair near the railings and with a flick of the wrist, the long curtains opened. The window is in Zina’s view, so she can also enjoy the sunlight that beams in. “I can see the trees dance as they were led by the wind”, I hear her say, is she mesmerized?
Zina’s POV
My gaze landed on the window, the whoosh and opening of the curtain had brought my attention. The warm rays of the sun that lays on my hand and paper., brought me peace and I saw the trees moving, it’s leaves swaying with the other leaves. “I can see the trees dance as they were led by the wind” I spoke, but I wasn’t in control, I didn’t feel my mouth move “Truly the skies are a beauty even at its darkest”, I continued and yet I halted, as a series of stomping, coming down from somewhere echoed in the room. I sense a presence, a figure behind me, no doubt. This is him. “Are you here my love?” I felt my head shook; I’m not doing this! I try to feel every limb in my body, trying to control and remove the numbness I feel in my body. “It is merely a blink, the paper you gave me… the light you provided me, -“ Stop! I shouted in my head followed by my success in moving a toe, that finally forced me to gain control of my body.
“Enough, I don’t know what you’re talking about!”, I stood up, letting the paper and pen drop on the floor. My headache worsened; a wool blanket was suddenly draped on me. “Just rest…” his voice cracked, he sounded sad.
And rest I did…
