DreamCatcher's Kiss (unedited)

The Witch's Song

Once again in her deepest dream land, Alexan was floating but instead to somewhere peaceful it was very dark and heavy. Alexan was agitated to the surroundings where she was. It was dark and ruins until she saw a very dark forest. The howling sounds of the wolves as well the owls echoed through the entire forest as she entered it. She’s frightened indeed but she took a lot of courage to face this dark forest. She kept walking as she hope somewhere within this darkness, she’ll find light. She’ll find her.

“Don’t tell me this is…” Alexan thought when she saw same place but dark.

She remembers the path but not the view. It was totally ruins and chaotic. It was like death in here. No life to begin with and it scare her to the bones. Until somebody or something suddenly dragged her with them and chopped her fingers from breaking something. Fear was raising up into her chest until she recalled what Yume told her before.

‘Control your dreams.’

She closed her eyes for a sec before looking at the slow motion cutting of her finger with the use of kitchen knife. She was about to feel pain it was nothing. She felt nothing and she’s been thrown out like she was exiled. She felt relieved that she was been released from that place. Then the scene changed into the battleground where cannons are being shot as she kept walking until the fogs vanished. On the way, it was finally clearing and bloody corpses on the battlefield began to show up. Alexan was shaken up but her feet kept walking like she wants to finish this dream.

“Where are you?” she asked herself defeated as she fell onto her knees crying.

She was sobbing until a careful hand patted her shoulder that made her jolted in surprise.

“Miss me already?” Yume teased her that made Alexan looked back and saw a familiar face that she was longing to see.

She hugged her immediately that made them fell on the grassy ground. Within just a snapped, the surrounds finally went back from being peaceful.

“Where were you?!” Alexan cried to her chest while they were still lying on the ground.

“I’m looking for you.” Yume chuckled as she pushed Alexan so they could sit and to see her face.

Yume looked straightly into Alexan’s eyes and wiped her tears.

“For a dreamcatcher, you’re late.” Alexan pouted as she complained that made Yume laughed.

“Well, I’m not. You just happen to enter the wrong dream door. Remember what I showed you before on the end of the stream?” Yume explained that made Alexan recalled about the streams from their previous meeting and she gets it now.

“That’s where you were and only you can make it through since it reflects to you. It’s your own dream.” Yume continued as she pinched Alexan’s cheeks.

Alexan sighed as she lay down on the grassy ground and admiring the cloudy blue sky. Yume butted in Alexan’s daze when she leaned down to meet her lips.

“What was that for?” Alexan asked when Yume parted.

“Nothing, just dreamcatcher’s kiss, I guess.” Yume smiled like she was hiding something and Alexan felt it but she didn’t pushed it.

They just stayed there relaxing and enjoying the view as well being together until Yume say something shaken Alexan.

“This will be last time I’m gonna meet you in dream realm.” Yume stated as she took Alexan’s hand and looked at her with sad smile.

“Wait! What?!” Alexan was indeed surprised to Yume’s sudden decision.

“Just listen, when you hear this…please…” Yume began to quiver and cry then she let go of her hand.

Alexan was confused but when Yume began to sing a familiar song, the Yume she knew in the dream suddenly covering with dust. Slowly, Yume’s clothing changed into similar clothing of humans and her face was finally showing it true form. Alexan thought the Yume was a goddess but she wasn’t. she doesn’t have any beautiful facial features. She has a mid-scar from the side of her forehead down to her cheeks. Yume was beaten up from long time ago and that scar reminded her that she’s no longer ordinary being.

She’s now an awaken witch from the strong linage of magicians who lived for many years.

Alexan was speechless to what she was seeing but when she focused to her voice, it was still the same and it made her glad. Yume is Yume.

My mind always remember

The piece of tenderness I hold in my heart

My heart blinded by tears

Every little moment

Longing for a love I can’t have

Ah, I count the stars

I wish I could sleep enveloped in you

I wanna be your dream catcher

The flower in my heart has not bloomed

But I’ll believe in one day it will

I wanna be your dreamcatcher

I’ll be reborn now, for the first time

Fly again, fly again

“Yume…” Alexan whispered that made Yume smiled painfully.

“Wake up.” Yume said as her tears began to fall once again.

“Wait! Yume!!!!!!” Alexan screamed until Yume vanished before her eyes and she woke up from her painful dream.

Alexan couldn’t remember everything until she felt there was something in her hand and to her surprise it was a dreamcatcher’s pendant. The pendant was a white like a Yang and it has missing pair. She began to cry like she lost someone very important to her.

“I don’t understand…why I’m crying…” she mumbled to herself as she curled up onto her bed and kept crying.

Alexan felt something was been ripped off from her chest and that’s she wanted to know but she couldn’t remember aside the name of Yume and the song it sings.
