Eyes in Dreamland
Born on the summer solstice souls split in two
Brothers of different species will be born anew
Find thy mate to fight a war
Defeat evil so balance can be restored
A Babe born once the winter solstice has begun
Shall find her true Kings and become one
True powers from deep within shall be released
A queens ultimate form can finally be unleashed
The false King of all has risen
Save thy queen from a dark prison
Fight with love strength and good wisdom
Win against this evil and regain your Kingdom
I wake up sweat dripping down my body. Ever since Avery found out she was part oracle my dreams are plagued with the whispers of this prophecy and eyes. Six months ago when Avery and I were on a run she got this glimpse of my future I guess. It was terrifying she just stopped mid run she phased back and her eyes were all milky. All of a sudden she just whispered that damn prophecy . Ever since then my dreams are rot with eyes I mean there’s bodies but the face is blank it’s just eyes. Two bodies to be specific. One with eyes that glow like sapphires .
When I look into those blue eyes I feel like I’m drowning but not like dying. I just feel content, relaxed.The other eyes are hazel and ,in my dreams, when I look at them they shine like melted honey. When I look into those eyes I feel warm like I know I have nothing to worry about. Every time the bodies begin to completely form and I start to get a glimpse of whoever these people are.
Boom the prophecies whispered in a sweet melodic voice and I wake up. I sigh glancing at my dresser to look at the time. My alarm clock glows bright with the time of 615. I push the covers off my thighs and climb out of bed. I have to be at Wilken‘s diner at 7:30.
“Vie”. Avery says knocking on my door.Then opening it .
“ Hey Vie I was thinking that maybe tomorrow we can go to the mall. We gotta pack so we can go to New York ”. She says as she grabs my brush off my dresser and starts to do her hair . I mumble a yes as I strip my shirt off and walk into the bathroom to shower away my night . I’m done in 15 minutes woulda taken longer if I washed my hair but didn’t want to go to work with wet hair . As I brush my teeth and do my business I look in the mirror at my mess of auburn hair trying to tame it . I do a double check making sure my brown contacts are in. My unusual eyes tend to get to many stares . I have heterochromia where one of my eyes is green and the other one is like a dark amethyst purply color.
Once I’m all washed and cleaned up I put on my uniform . A low cut v neck red t with WILKEN’S diner emblazoned on the back. To match I was given the worlds tiniest black skirt. My name tag (Mia) and black converse follow . Trust me I’m aware nonstick shoes but Brain doesn’t wanna ruin the aesthetic .
Avery is sitting on my bed patiently waiting for me to sit so she can braid my long mane of Auburn hair . Once she finishes we walk out to the kitchen . Ms Simmons is at the stove finishing up breakfast .
“Vie are you okay I heard you tossing and turning all night “ Ms. Simmons ask me turning and putting the last waffle on the serving tray. Worst thing about us supernatural we can hear everything. So there’s no point to lie and say I gotta good night sleep .
“I’m fine just the prophecy dream again ”. I say taking a seat and starting to serve my plate .
Across from me I hear Carter grunt . I look up and sure enough he’s frowning at me .
“ I Don’t like that you keep saying your fine and your clearly not ”. Carter grumbles shoveling a bite of eggs in his mouth. Carter had been my best friend and protector since I was a baby. Ms Simmons told me that he’d follow me every where . Barley let anyone hold me. Strange a lot of people believed we would be mates. But Carter doesn’t really swing my way.
“ Carter I promise if I’m not okay you’ll be the first to know. It’s not like Gaia won’t snitch on me anyways”. I sigh out looking at him from across the table. Gaia ,my Lycan, and Carters wolf ,Orion, have been thick as thieves since they first arrived when I was thirteen and Carter 16. I mean you’d think I was the over protective one seeing as I’m the hybrid. Nope everyone here protects me like I’m the most precious thing in the world. Carter and Julianna are the worst in overprotectiveness I think to my self.
“ I’m not over protective I simply want everyone safe ”. Julianna says walking into the kitchen in her business savvy out fit of the day . She works at some tech firms as an assistant and today she’s rocking a pretty peach pantsuit with a black top under. Her skins glows like diamonds against the bright color of her clothes. I envy that the most while I have nice skin and all but , Julianna has the most stunning coffee colored skin that shines when the sunlight hits. Literally looks like a freshly pour cup of coffee with a splash of creamer.
She look absolutely ethereal this morning as she smiles at us around the table and plants a kiss on Avery’s head . I snort a little laugh out that damn twilight movie got a lot of the vampire facts and characteristics right. I mean they have a subtle glow but they don’t sparkle like that glittery scene that’s absurd. Julianna glares at me with her sharp green eyes . I know she read my mind on that one. top off her beautiful out fit she of course has some killer boots cus she’s crazy.
“I’m not crazy just practical and be glad I’m not in cargos and a tank top ”Julianna huffs plopping down in her seat next to Avery. “Stop Reading my mind ” I grumble sliding her a cup of coffee.
“I’ve told you several times. If you don’t want your mind read keep up your block.” She gives me a pointed look with her beautiful green eyes. You need to work on it. We don’t know what that prophecy means”. She says after taking a sip. She is completely right I do need to be more cautious I’m a tribrid who’s well sought after. Especially by my old alpha . Alpha Theodore Hendrix was the most despicable man I’ve come across in my 20 years of life. I shiver from the memories.
*****) are when a character is having an inner dialogue with there supernatural spirit ****
Vampire) Azaria : Don’t even think about that time.You’re safe.
Dragon)Ember: I may not be able to transform yet but believe me nothing will harm you ever again my little human .
Lycan)Gaia : I would never allow you to be hurt on my watch again . I should of been stronger
Vie: Gaia it is not your fault.What happened was terrible but you are not to blame. You weren’t here yet .
Gaia:)I should of been stronger wolfsbane doesn’t even effect lycans. I was weak and I let you down. But I promise as long as I can I won’t fail again.
Vie : You didn’t let me down they poisoned me for so long that you couldn’t even come out or you’d hurt me. I was saved in the end that’s all that matters. I said but she had already retreated to the back of my mind and put a block up. Same with Azaria and Ember. They didn’t fail me, what my Ex Alpha did to me wasn’t any of their faults. I wish Gaia would understand that.
Ember has been with me the longest but I can’t transform into her yet . She came around when I was 10. I had a dream about a beautiful auburn and white dragon flying about when it finally transformed. Before me stood a giant woman with red skin and hair her eyes where white. I should of been Afraid but I just knew she wouldn’t hurt me. She told me that others would come to protect me just like her.
I crawled in her arms and she rocked me back to sleep . Sure enough my dream of Azaria and Gaia came 3 years later. Gaia used to be so fun and happy but when I was 15 and the alpha attacked me that changed.
Flashback TW MENTIONS OF ABUSE****** DONT READ FUTHER IF YOU CAN NOT STOMACH ABUSE (and a little backstory )
I grew up in the Dark Mist pack. It was lead by Alpha Theodore Hendrix and Luna Violet . Everything was great for a couple years . The story was that a man came to the pack and said I needed to be protected and he left me there and was never seen again. Luna Violet adored me and was always taking care of me even tho I was an orphan. Her sons Asher and Aden also took a liking to me. Her daughter Jenna didn’t like me much as I grew older.
As an orphan I was treated as an omega who fell under Ms. Simmons,The head Omega .Things where good until Asher passed away.When he passed away things became really dark in the house. I was only 9 when it happened .
There was a rogue attack and he had been stuck from behind while in the kitchen. I was hidden in the spice cabinet by the stove. I chose that spot cus my scent wouldn’t be detected. I had to hide since I didn’t make it to the Bunker. Jenna told the pack that he died saving me from a rogue. She also told the alpha that I attacked her when she tried to help me.
When in reality it was her he died trying to save. She was scratched when she bit off more than she could chew. The Alpha hated me for killing his son inadvertently even if I wasn’t the cause . When I tried to protest he slapped me and told the guards to put me in the dungeon. Asher was suppose be the new alpha soon but he died .
Luna Violet tried to advocate for me telling the alpha I was a mere child. Luna Violet also told Jenna about how she might of mistaken who attacked her for the claw marks are from a fully grown wolf and I hadn’t shifted yet. As much as the luna tried she failed.
With Jenna claiming to have seen it with her own eyes and crying to her daddy. I was sentenced to getting beaten and burned from then on. Luna Violet would try to shield me as much as she could . Jenna would strike out at me and say I turned her mother against her. It went on like that for years .
My friends would try to be the buffer between some of my beatings. Carter and Julianna would get it the worst. For years it was like this . A vicious cycle of torment and fear. I learned to keep my head down and not speak .
When I got Ember I kept my mouth shut I knew I’d be beaten. The tales around the pack where no dragons had been born in thousands of years. I knew saying something would cost me a beaten for being a liar.When Aden disappeared my last vestige of hope for a new alpha left right with him .
When I was 13 after a particularly bad beating I got my wolf and vampire spirit.I had be caught eating bread in the kitchens by Jenna. I had healed way to quickly and thats when I knew I was a tribrid. I only told Carter and Avery of my wolf. Once my wolf connected to Carters wolf Orion we could mind link.
Julianne found out when Carter asked me why I didn’t shift so she created a mind link between Carter, Herself, Avery(Ms Simmons niece) she was a hybrid part vampire and witch. She did this so we’d be able to communicate between each other without talking out loud.
Luna Violet became sick and tired of the way her mate would treat the pack. She started starving her self and wouldn’t sleep with the alpha. He would sleep around to and it would just cause the Luna more pain. She died when I turned 15.
Luna violet had cut her wrist in the middle of the night as she laid next to the alpha. We buried the Luna 3 days later. I was going about my business in the cellar when I heard whimpering coming from behind the Crates. I followed the sound to find Avery ,my best friend, crying behind the last row of crates. She was all red and looked beaten. Her dress was torn down the middle and she was sitting in a small pool of blood.
She looked up at me with her eyes swollen and one blackened.
“A-Avery what h-happ-pen to you ”. I manage to stutter out falling to my knees
“The Alpha c-called me to his room. He he said he n-needed me for a task. When I I got there he told-d me what he w-wanted m-me for. He n-needed to r- r- release”.She manages to mumble out on a broken whimper. She try’s to continue but I reach out and pat her hair . Grabbing her and pulling her to me I stroke her hair. I gently nudge at her brain so she knows I’m trying to access her memories. What I see Horrifies me.
The Alpha called her into his room and explained what he wanted but when she says no. He grabs her by the hair and tells her that dirty omega sluts that are freshly 18 will all be his. I watch her memory as he tears her dress in half and pushing her over the desk ripping her panties off. He slides his hands down to touch her almost as if he gonna prep her . He plunges his fingers in ruffly taking them out and tasting them like a sick bastard. He growls and plunges into her so hard her lips hit the desk along with her head. The scream she lets out rips my heart into shreds. He just keeps mercilessly slamming into her. He tore at her thighs with his claws making her bleed more. I rip my mind away from her I had seen enough.
“Im gonna kill him. He’s despicable . What type of human being does that to a person and there own pack member . He’s suppose to protect us. He’s he’s a tyr-” my growl gets cut off by someone snatching me up. “I can do as I please with my pack you ungrateful mutt. If I wanna bend you over these boxes I could. I am the alpha and I command you all. You need a little more discipline little Genevieve. ” Alpha Hendrix growls into my ear. Pushing me down over the crates of food. All I can repeat over and over is no.
I call to Gaia and Azaria but they sound distant and blurry my body feels so weak. Ember doesn’t answer either. When he pushing my tattered white dress up over my legs and tearing my panties away I know my fate is sealed. I stare over at Avery. She is shaking with uncontrollable fear as she sits watching what he is about to do to me. I mind link her with the little strength I have left after being slammed down to close her eyes and cover her ears.
She’s been through enough she doesn’t need to see anymore. I feel his fingers slide along my labia. I immediately feel nauseous. I cry out from pain as he shoves his bulky fingers into my opening. I can feel the blood coating my thighs from him being to rough.I hear his belt drop to the floor. The sound of his zipper sliding down makes me tense.
“ See this is what little orphan whores get when they get to thinking there big and bad. I’ve been wanna to do this for years ya little s**t. Every time I laid with someone I imagined it was you”. He whispers in my ear. Gripping my hair and pulling back as he grinds himself onto me.
My heart is beating so loud I don’t even hear the footsteps coming behind us. Alpha Theodore doesn’t hear them either he’s to wrapped up in what he’s about to do to me. When I feel his body snatched from behind me I turn around my dress falling back in place and I slide to the floor. I watch the scene in front of me as if I’m inside looking out.
I watch as Carter pulls the Alpha down and starts smashing his fist into his face. Julianne was talking to me but I couldn’t hear her. She rushed over to Avery once she realized I wouldn’t answer. Carters dominance didn’t last long once the Alpha regained himself he threw Carter off him and started walking towards him.
Alpha Theodore brought his leg up as if to stomp on Carter.Suddenly the alpha dropped down clutching his head. Behind him stood Ms. Simmons with a crow bar. While he was down she hit him three more times in the head till he was unconscious. “ i-I’m so sorry girls. I should of been here. Carter grab Avery please. Julianne grab Genevieve. We need to run before he regains consciousness”. Ms Simmons rushed out as she has tears in her eyes. She is a little pale and shaking. She looks over at Avery in carters arms and swings the bar down on Alpha Hendrix’s head one last time. As she regains her self she severs her ties to the Dark Mist pack.
Making Carter and Julianne say it to she rushes us out of the cellar. We scrambled to pack border and leave the land. Good thing we lived on the edge of the pack lands. When Avery came to she had to server her ties as we left the pack in the old beat up van Ms. Simmons had.
For a while we where constantly looking over our shoulder and continuing to run from Alpha Hendrix. Two years ago he seemed to give up his search for us. It’s been nearly 6 years and we are finally settled and safe up in Canada.
I’m pulled back from the flash back as I feel someone gripping on to my hand. Looking up it’s Avery, she must know what I’m thinking about even though I have my block up. Her grey/blue eyes glimmer with a slight sheen of tears as she to remembers. It took Avery nearly 6months to finally start talking about what happened and almost 3 months after that before she’d allow any one but me to touch her.
She struggled every now and then when things would overwhelm her but nothing to bad Now she’s back to her old self with a little bit more of a back bone and a temper. I smile at her in return so she knows that I’m OK. I finished my breakfast and take my plate to the sink to clean everything up. “ leave it in the sink I’ll clean up everything. “ Aah ah Ms. Simmons Sit down you’ve already made breakfast. I’ll clean up everything for the day”. Carter says standing up and getting ready to clean.
“You better get on your way Vie or you’ll be late”. Ms. Simmons says kissing my head and busying herself cleaning even tho Carter said not to. I look at the clock and sure enough it’s 720. WOW time moves fast.I do a quick mental scan of WILKEN’S diners bathroom before teleporting my self there. Making sure to short out the cameras so they don’t look back and see that I never walked in the front door. I straighten my top up a little and look at myself in the mirror. Doing one last look over
I looked at myself in the mirror and mentally prep myself for the life that is Mia my alias. I whisper to myself that this is the last day even tho I know it’s not. Pushing out of the bathroom door I run straight into Brian. “ When Did you come in Mia. You just started your shift and your all ready in the bathroom. ” Brain says blocking my body from leaving. “ Came in earlier today so I can remind you that I’m leaving to New York soon. I just have to go clock in and I’ll start my shift Brian.”
“Ehh Yes all I know is you’d better come back. Lucky you’re a pretty little thing else I wouldn’t let you go anywhere. I know you’ll always be back can’t get enough of Brian.” He says chuckling out and letting me pass.I fight down the urge to barf as he goes for a handful of my ass. If Carter knew about the way Brian treats me he’d kill him in a heartbeat. I walk into the back of the kitchen to clock in giving a smile and wave to Mr. O’Reilly our cook. Mr. O’Reilly and Kelly are probably the only good things about this place.
I clock in tie my apron behind my back getting ready to go bus my tables. Kelly is up front by the Register . She sees me walk to the back gives me a smile and tells me table 2 needs to be serviced. A plaster smile on my face walk to table 2 and get my day started. Table 2 is a group of a man that looks just rotten. The big beefy one on the end smiles up with the most tabaco and yellow stained teeth I’ve ever seen he calls me sweetheart and pulls me in by the waist. Looking up at the sky I just know this day is gonna be bad. I look down at my watch and mentally sigh 8 more hours to go.
