Voyagers in the Dreams

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

A few hours later, I wake up from a touch. It was Damon, He was back. I hadn’t been this delighted in a while. I groggily sat up right and processed what had just happened earlier, I looked around to see the daylight seeping through the trees. Oh it was already morning. I forced myself to focus on my mission and decided to ask Damon more questions. I didn't trust him completely yet so I decided to just ask him questions that were subtle and wouldn't give out the secrets that I held. “So Damon.. Do you know why I am here?”. He lightly laughed “Don't worry princess, I know who you are and I am here to help you”. “Ok so you know I am the princess... Honestly this is all too weird and I don't believe any of it but as long as I don't die and it sounds way more fun than my life before” I smirk and continue “I’ll do it”

“So Damon, do you know where we have to go first right, because I already don't remember what my friends...” Damon looked puzzled but I clear my throat and say “I mean the 3 fates said” I was obviously trying to test him to see if he was just a free weight or he was genuinely going to help me, He may be someone I can stare at for ages but I can't trust him just yet. “Yes, we must head to Lucrum, to the Queen” I sighed a breath of relief. He knows. “Well, lead the way then” He nodded and then spoke “ We shall leave tomorrow at the break of dawn. We must get necessary items from the manor” The thought of the manor made me realize the changing of the color but I decided not to question him, for now.

We reached the manor and he spoke up “I shall gather the necessary medicine, herbs and food for our journey, please go on ahead and rest love” I blushed as he said that but I looked to the floor to hide it.

I went on ahead to take a nap. I woke up after smelling the smell of exquisite delicacies. I headed on downstairs and followed the scent to the kitchen. There I saw my dream boy wearing grey sweatpants and a perfectly fitted grey t-shirt. Then it hit me, i’ve been wearing the same clothes for at least 3 days now. One word. N A S T Y. I didn't know how to bring it up to him though but just as though he had read my mind he said “By the way, the closet, is magical, whatever you ask for, it will provide.” This is it. I have decided I shall spend the rest of my days here. This is perfect. The smell of the food snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Hey what are you making?”

“Just some pasta de Chorizo”

My mouth watered just by listening to that “Oh? Should I help?”

He then smiled at me for a few seconds and said “You my princess, shall sit and wait for lunch to be served”

Wow so Damon can cook, he’s like a doctor, probably can handle weapons. I’ve got it.

He’s P E R F E C T. I stared at him dreamily and then turned around to hand me over the plate with the pasta. Oh damn. It looks delicious but how the hell do I eat in front of Damon. Oh no. Um. I'll just have to pretend he’s not here and enjoy this pasta. I took a bite and oh dear lord. Is this heaven? I hungrily finished the rest of my food without realizing that he was sitting right in front of me. Who can blame me tho I think I haven’t eaten for like 3 days. I look up to see him smile then start laughing. “Hahaha you're cute.”

I clench my fist, I'm not sure if I should be mad or collapse due to this heavenly figure calling me ‘cute’

We finish our lunch and Damon says. “I have to go somewhere now, don't be afraid though, the house won't harm you.” Could he be subtly addressing the issue of the house changing colors and vibes? Before I ask him though he quietly leaves the room and I decide to go to my room. Where could Damon be going though? A lot of questions arose but I told myself to stop doubting everyone atleast for once. I excitedly opened my closet it was bare and empty, except one hanger. It was a red cloak. I picked it up and a letter dropped, I opened it and it said:

Dearie,

Accept this cloak as a present from your three fates it will help you vanquish the evil whenever you ask it,

Don't forget.

10 minutes? This red hooded cloak? As soon as I finished reading it, the letter caught on fire and I dropped it and it disappeared. I decided to take it and left in on the large white chair looking stool? In the middle of the closet.

I then planned out daily outfits to impress Damon. Suddenly after a few minutes, I heard Arion leave with Damon.

~A few hours later~

Damon wakes me up informing me that it is time to go to the Kingdom of Lucrum. I get up and he leaves my room. I take a hot shower, In the grand bathroom in my ‘chamber’ and then decide to wear black skinny jeans, with a crop top saying ‘Guns n’ Roses’ and wear my red cloak over it. I pair this with combat boots.

I head out with my backpack to see the Damon waiting for me.

I nod at him signaling that I am ready to leave. He then whistles and there I see the beautiful horse ‘Arion’ dive in toward us. We get on and get ready to go.

I sit in front of him as he sits behinds me and grabs the reigns. We slowly ascend higher and higher into the sky. When we went to the market, Arion had not flown but ran with remarkable speed. As we ascend higher I close my eyes tightly, yes I am scared of heights. Ugh. then I hear damon softly whisper into my ears “ Hey, it’s okay you're safe I won't let anything happen to you.” He slowly slides his hand into mine and our fingers entangle each other. He gives me a light squeeze of reassurance but still I decide to keep my eyes shut “ It's okay Sofia. I’ve got you.” This was the first time he had called my name. He takes his other hand and puts it around my waist. I sigh and decide to slowly open my eyes. It was something I’d never seen before,

“Have you ever seen a river?

One that flows free and unnamed?

The one hidden in the forest,

That always stayed the same.

The peace and tranquility it offered you,

Was something that never changed.

And the best part of it all was it's sweet simple name.”
