Chapter 55 DALIA
DALIA
I don't know how it happened, but that night I slept in Ezekiel's arms only to wake up in a strange place. The place is white…. I mean every single thing there is white. I don't know if I have entered another person's mind without knowing it just like I did with the witch. I hope not. What if I don't find my way out this time around.
I was literally sleeping in that white place and when I woke up, I was confused. I was trying to figure out where I was when I heard a voice. It's a feminine voice but I couldn't see who was speaking to me.
“Dalia,” the voice calls. I don't answer but she continues. “The answer you are looking for is within you. You have the power to heal Sarah and get the truth she knows from her.”
That got my attention. What does she mean that I have the power to heal Sarah? I don't think I have the power to undo a spell. Especially the one I don't know how it was inflicted.
“What do you mean? I don't have such powers.”
“You do. It's within you. Meditate and check your heart, you will feel the spell you need to bring Sarah back to normal self. It's not far from you, Dalia. You are destined to do more than you can imagine,” the voice cuts in.
“Who are you?” I ask. This person seems to know a lot about me.
“You don't need to know who I am, but just know I will always be with you. I will guide you through the path of your destiny. Sarah…. She's the key in finding out the truth you seek. Believe me, from now on, everything will align. But if you make a mistake, you will die. But believe me when I say that I will not let you die. You are stronger than you think. You will take a lot of risk. You will know pain. You will be at the verge of death, but you won't die.”
And just like that, the voice disappeared. I called on it to tell me more but I got silent in return.
Will Sarah tell me everything? Will she tell me the medium we need to stop the war? Of course. She didn't stay behind to tell me all these. I couldn't see her but I felt her energy and her voice was so angelic and melodic. I could listen to it all day.
Immediately the energy dissipated and her voice ceased, I woke up. I find myself on my bed with Ezekiel lying very close to me. He literally has me in his arms. I wonder how long I've been sleeping. I'm sure I got him worried again. And since I can't predict my future I can't say if this thing won't happen again.
What I heard in that white room means that my mother didn't abandon me. I have answers to all my questions and the power to do this. Just that I'm yet to discover them. She knew I could do this, that's why she sent me here. She knows I will survive and I will succeed. It's risky but she won't let me die. I don't know who that voice belongs to but I believe it's a guardian from my mother.
It's just a matter of time before I find the answer I need. And we will be one step ahead of the devils.
Now that I know that Sarah knows a lot that we need, I now believe it was never a mistake to bring her out of that mental hospital. The voice says I have the power to undo the spell. I just have to look inside myself and I will find the answer.
Ezekiel is so happy that I'm awake. He hugs me and nearly crushes me but I let him. I don't know how long I've been sleeping and it made him scared to see me that way. I know how paranoid he is anytime something happens to me. He's always scared to lose me and I wonder if he will ever live without me. Well, having seen the way he acts when something happens to me and how overprotective he always is, I don't think he will.
“What the fuck happened to you Dalia, I was so fucking scared?” I can hear the desperation in his voice. I know he was scared. And I feel so bad for making him feel that. I know what I did wasn't intentional but I still felt that way. If I put myself in his shoes, I would understand him. I would be so scared if he sleeps and doesn't wake up the next morning.
When he asks me if it's risky, I hesitate a bit because I don't know the answer to give him. That female voice said it will be risky but she will be with me. It means I'm going through a risky path but nothing will happen to me. I will survive. I just have to make sure I don't make any mistakes.
“I won't let you risk your life, Dalia. I will fuck the damn war if it means you live. The only thing I care about right now is you,” he says. His voice sounds so serious. I understand him but it will be so selfish of us to think just about ourselves. His people, they believe in him and he can't fail them.
And this is my destiny. Whether I like it or not, I will fulfill it. And after the announcement the other day, I can see that a lot of the pack members believe in me. They put their hopes in me and I can't fail them. I must stop this war no matter what I go through in the process.
“I know, Ezekiel. But we have no choice. I know you want me alive and you care about me but we should not forget that there are people who hope in us. This is my destiny like I always tell you and I can't run away from it. Also, I won't die. I will fulfil my destiny and I will survive through it.”
He sighs. He's still not convinced. “I understand what you are saying, Dalia. But I don't care if I'm selfish or not. You mean a lot to me. I know you are strong and this is your destiny, but if anything happens to you, I don't think I will ever survive it. We can still do this without taking the risky part, please.”
I smile as I lean and kiss him. Anytime he's vulnerable, he always looks like a kid. I just want to kiss him slightly on the lips but he deepens the kiss. I kiss him back with the same pace as he runs his hands through my skin, exploring my body. I love the way he touches me and I want him to touch somewhere else. Somewhere down there. It always aches and I want him to soothe it. I know I want him. I want him more than I think. And I won't be shameless if I want him inside me right now, right?
