Daughter of the Moon and Night

2. Waking up (Lillians POV)

I woke up (for real this time), all sweaty and with terrible headache. Looking around and pinching myself I realized this wasn't dream and sighed with relivef.

I remembered that we had week-long holiday from school because teachers had something, so thats why I had slept for way too long. Still I feeled like I haven't slept in days. I was tired as hell and the headache just wouldn't stop. I dragged myself to bathroom. After taking a painkiller I went for nice shower to cheer myself up. I took my time with my morning routine even i had woke up late. When I was ready, I messaged my sister where she was.

She told me she was at Lizs and Adams house. They planned to go to beach to hang out since Adam was already there. I answered her that I would meet them there and went to kitchen to crab some snack bar and water bottle. After eating the snack bar, I left the house and headed to the beach.

It was not long walk. Our neighborhood was sheltered with small forest but it still was near the downtown. And just behind the forrest was road and on the otherside of it was the beach so the walk took only like 15 - 20 minutes. Soon enough I crossed the road and saw Adam sitting on the beach on towel reading something. Adam was Lizs big brother. They only had one year age difference and they were together alone most of the time because their parents worked a lot so they were really close.

Adam looked a lot like Liz except he wasn't small. He had same skin, eye and hair color and nice features. He was always calm, liked to read and he was really smart. Maybe smartest person I knew. I also had feeling that he had HUGE crush on my sister.

"Moorniiingg Adaam!" I screamed and he was so suprised he drop the book. I laughed at his face.

"Haha very funny." He answered rolling his eyes while picking the book up. "So you finally woke up?" He asked smirking. I nodded smirking back and he just laughed. I sat next to him and took a sip of my waterbottle.

"What were you reading this time nerd?" I teased him.

"Da Vinci Code."

"Is it good?"

"Yeah. It's interesting." He said and stretched. We talked more some time and I feeled that my headache was still there and also the wind made me shiver from cold even it was very hot weather. Adam seemed to notice this. "Are you okay?" He asked looking concerned but I just waved it off.

"Yeah. I just feel a little bit cold." I answered smiling and drinked more water.

"Cold? It's like 77F here." My sisters voice came behind and made me almost spit the water I was drinking.

"Karma is a bitch." Adam laughed.

"Shut up you." I turned around and saw Lori, Riley and Liz standing there like some weird textile triplets. They all had pink tops and black bottoms which looked exactly same. I laughed at them and they answered with giving me weird looks. I just told the 'textile triplets' to sit down. They looked each other and realized what i had been laughing at. They sat down giggling too even it wasn't that funny. After they had sat down, me and Adam started to fill them in to our conversation about my dream.

"Girl, like we wouldn't tell you if some two hotties comes to our school!" Riley laughed after i told them whole story. Adam was back to reading his book.

"Yeah when you put it like that, I should have known it was a dream." I laughed back. Recalling the dream and remembering the end of it had made my headache starting to get worse. Riley started to spill the tea of her last date with some guy named Kent. She met him at mall when she was looking for new shoes. Well, this Kent had been completely moron, but I didn't listen her story so closely, cause I started to feel ill more and more every passing minute. Maybe even second. I tried to shake the sick feeling off but it was no use.

"Seriously Lili, maybe you should go home and lay down." Liz said in her cute little voice. I just smiled at her telling I was okay and didn't want to leave yet.

"I can come with you big sis. You look even paler than you usually are." Loralei suggested and mentioned worry in her eyes. I hated it when I made anyone worried because of me. Especially my loved ones. I already had been burden to them. So I sighed and gave up.

"Thanks but I can walk there myself. It's just a little headache so I am okay. But I just go home now." I answered little disapointed for leaving so early. Lora smiled and looked at me apologetically but in relief. I smiled back at my over-caring sister to show that it was fine. I stood up feeling dizzy, tried to cover it and started walking away. I stopped to wave at them and crossed the road. After maybe only 5 minutes of walking I felt weak and the headache was giving me hard time to walk. I stopped to breath and while looking in to forrest next to me I remembered that there was a tiny path trough the woods which lead straight to our home street. We used it a lot when we were kids.

I started looking for the path and even it had been long time, I found it pretty quickly. After I decided path was okay, I continued my walk to home along it.

It was truly beautiful and peaceful there. I heard birds singing and sun glowed between the branches of the trees, creating small strands of light on my path. I smiled sadly at that how I could have forgotten this place when I now remebered how much I liked it here when I was a kid.

I walked slower and started to think why I felt so sick all of sudden. Last night I felt completely normal. I hoped this all would go away by sleeping a little because I didn't want others to worry. And of course because this was terrible. No one wanted to be sick.

Suddenly I felt stabbing pain in my head. It was so sudden, painful and came out of nowhere, that I fell on my knees on the ground. I felt little sticks and stones under my palms. I thought I was maybe having a migraine and tried to decide should I keep trying to get home or just sit there and wait for it to go away. I couldn't decide before incredible piercing pain was going through my head again. It was so unbearable that I let out loud scream and clenched my fists against the ground. I feeled how the little stones pressed against my skin inside my fists but I didn't care.

I panted and cried in silence. My salty tears mixed up with cold sweat on my face. Pain pierced me even harder and I screamed again. Then I heard warm voice behind me.

"Are you okay?" It asked. I turned my head and swiped tears from my eyes to see the owner of it. The dirt from my hands stuck on my face but finally I could see the person behind me.

And boy, I was confused. It was the shorter guy from my dream. Again I feeled the pain creeping in my head and cried out loud. In one second the guy grabbed me in his arms and looked at me pain and worry in his eyes.

Darius.

The name just appeared in my mind out of nowhere and at the same time my head filled with pain that I think I had never feeled before. I screamed and started to shake. I could feel strong arms holding me but I couldn't see the guy. I couldn't see anything. It was like someone had thrown a lot of pictures on my face without break. Pics went so fast I couldn't see them but I also couldn't see past them. I just cried and screamed wishing the pain to stop. I was so scared. The last thought on my mind was:

What the f*ck is happening to me?!

And after that everything went black.
