Heart desired

bonus 4

Sighing, I opened the door.

"Where did you go, Theresa Blackhallow?" Someone shouted and I flinched. The salon was dark. It took me a second to discover it was granny.

I remembered the way she casted a spell on me. It means she must know.

"Granny, quiet a lot happened today. I want to talk to you privately."

"Ok." She sighed. "You better. You almost gave me a heart attack when Anya came home crying."

"She'll be fine." I said. She was a mooder.

"And she brougth your backpack. I put it it your room. We didn't bother calling you since your phone was in it. You better call her."

"I will." I went to my room and called her.

"Theresa." As soon as I heared her voice, I knew something was wrong. "I am so sorry."

"Why? You didn't do anything. I was the one who ran away."

"If I haven't seen that dream, it wouldn't happened to you." She cried.

"Oh. Its not something like that. I'll explain it to you tomorrow. Ok?"

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Ok then. Bye. Good night. Don't be late tomorrow. " "I won't. Bye."

She was fine. Her tone said that.

"Is she okay?" Granny asked.

"Yeah."

"What do you wanted to talk to me?" She asked.

Should I ask? What if all of those was a lie? Only one way to know. I sighed.

"Who am I?" I asked.

Granny suddenly went pale. "What do you mean?"

"Well, let's just say that I met my warrior partner today."

"So you know." She slumped on my bed. "Then I'll lose you now."

"What? Why?"

"I am only bound to keep you until you find out the truth. As we speak, they must be coming to take you, princess."

So she knew it too. "Who are coming?"

"Your people, of course."

As soon as she said it, the window of my room exploded.

5. Leaving Dane Resh (aka Brandon) "She is pretty, you know." Dane said with a smirk.

I glared at him. "Stop it."

"Come on, you are blushing."

"Oh, am I?" I shot the most deadliest glare I had at him, but of course that i***t didn't mind it.

"Yeah. Now, think of her this way. The prettiest girl you have known since you were young came looking for you. She must have gotten way prettier than before. Wasn't you at least surprised?"

"Well, if you put it that way, she was the ugliest girl I knew back then. I was surprised because she looked way better. Are we good?"

"Yeah. Whatever. One day you will learn. Now excuse me. I have to go to the bathroom."

I nodded, and he left.

Honestly, Glaze did shake my mind. The way she spoke and moved gave a clear message.

She was the queen and others were dogs. I'm not saying that she looked down at others. She carried her every move with authority and power. She didn't seem to be aware about herself.

It was kinda scary, but the same time, it was attractive. Like a walking atomic bomb.

Her presence was something that I felt like I have been missing for ever. She was my other half. I could feel it. But she is only my warrior partner. We can't be... something more.

I imagined confessing my feelings to her. It would go like this.

'Glaze, I like you.' 'So?' 'Will you go out with me?' 'Seriously dude? I'd rather go out with Mr. Eye Socket.' Yeah. That would be it.

"What would be it?" Dane asked. s**t. I had said that loud.

"Don't know, bro. I like saying random things."

"Really? How come I never knew about this?"

"Probably because you are deaf."

"Am I deaf?" Dane wondered.

"Yeah you are."

"Whatever. You are a royal pain. Do you know that?"

"Yeah, grandpa. I know."

"For gods sake, shut up."

"Ok."

Dane sat on the floor beside my bed. I looked down at him. He was tapping his fingers on the floor in a rhythm.

"Hey, I remembered something." I said. Since I know that today is my birthday, it felt wrong to hide it from him.

"What?"

"My birthday. It's today."

His expression turned to the most funniest expression I've ever seen. "How?"

"Glaze told me. Her visit was a surprise. " I lied.

"Happy birthday, dude!! Wait till mom and dad come home. I can't believe this! Wait here.

I'll go and search for a present on ebay. Something special." He started to hum.

"Now, there is no need for that," I argued, throwing my hands up.

"My little brother just discovered his birthday! I should send Glaze a present too. Bless that girl." He hugged me, and ran out of the room, singing off key.

"Happy birthday to you!// Happy birthday dear Branny!

Happy birthday to you! " I rolled my eyes. He was such a kid in a way.

As he went away, my thought went to Mr. Eye Socket and his story. I wanted to know the rest of it. I wanted to know how Kaya and the Stone man survived, and how it connected to us. More than that, I wanted to meet Glaze again. As if she heared me, she appeared infront of me, dressed in dark black. She was grinning.

After I recovred from her sudden appearance, I noticed a tall man behind her, who also appeared out of thin air. He was glaring at me as if he already knew that I am a trouble maker.

"Resh, close your mouth, for god's sake. We have to go to our world. Now." Glaze said.

I abruptly closed my mouth, which had dropped to the ground. "How can we go to our world? I thought it is within this world. Should we die to do that?"

"No, buddy. We just have to cross the gate. That's all." The tall guy replied. He called me buddy, but I could feel the hatred in those eyes. I wonder what is Glaze doing with him.

"Close your eyes." Glaze ordered
