Chapter 9
"Forget about this moment"
His words rang again. His face looked more familiar like I have known him all the days of my life. It wasn't like he had been creepy customers who never ask for anything except black coffee made by me.
The moment his lips touched mine sent a strange chill down my spine, My arms automatically wrapped around his neck as he pulled me closer.
"You are mine, Mira," Alaric said on my lips "You are my Queen, my luna, and my mate"
Before I process what he was saying, I was sucked out, sucked into somewhere I have never seen before. It was like another country or another world, a fairy-like place in the middle of the woods.
I was seated on a throne with Alaric beside me. He had this proud and happy look on his face as if he had expected all these strange but yet satisfying things to happen.
Someone slipped a shiny ring into my middle finger while another placed a crown on my head. My dress was something I have never imagined I would have as it was made of silver and Diamond strains with red fiber.
"I present to you, our queen" I saw a man cheer to a very large swamp of the crowd "Luna Miranda!!!"
They were people who began to cheer and jubilate looks like they had been waiting for me. They were so happy to have me and I felt happy too, something strong in me made me feel I truly belong with them. It was like an everlasting celebration until I saw four huge wolves.
They had yellow eyes and look extremely dangerous, for them to look like that, I wouldn't think of having them as a pet. I freaked out and was about looking to Alaric who was on the right side of the throne.
A piercing scream escaped my throat as he jumped out of his chair and changed into a bigger wolf. He looked extremely bigger, shining, presentable, and angrier. I could not tell if I was seeing things again or this was actually really until I saw them fighting and tearing each other.
One of the four bad wolves came to me with a smirk on his wolf face, before I could scream for help everything went blank!
I screamed and woke up, got sweat rolling down my face as I began to check my body. There was no crown on my head, no ring in my fingers, nothing fake around me.
"It's just a dream," I told myself "Just another bad dream" I tried to convince myself.
This can't be happening to me again, at least not when I thought everything had gone back to normal. I can't be having nightmares again and this time, their faces were clear.
Alaric!
What does that creepy man have to do with my dreams now? What does he mean my mate? I am not even up to his age much more knowing his age!
I was still wondering what must have been happening for me to get such a messy dream. The worst part of it is that if I tell my family, they would only conclude that I have begun to see things all over again. They would make me start overtaking my pills again until I technically go nuts.
Lazily, I stretched before coming down from my bed. First thing first, I took my pills and head to the bathroom, my palm had barely touched the tap when the water began to rush out.
"Not again!" I closed my eyes and tried to regulate my breath "I touched the tap and turned it on" I said.
I believe myself even when I knew I was lying. I never touched the tap but the water came out by itself, it could be that there is someone, maybe a ghost following me about. If a ghost had come to follow me all through my life to frustrate me, it should know when to stop.
"I am freaking 18!!!" I said to my reflection "You can't be following me around"
I looked at the mirror for long as if expecting something to pop out and apologize for making me feel like a nincompoop. After getting no reply, I sighed, pick up my brush add toothpaste, and began to brush.
It's a good thing that I have had an even shift today so I will have to come back on my own again.
I rinse and drop the brush and was about to touch the tap again when the water stopped rushing. Unlike before, I didn't flinch or act scared for it was something I know well. It could be my imaginations or I can prove myself and my family wrong and try what was in my mind.
Slowly, I passed my palm on top of the tap but nothing happened. I did it over and over again but nothing happened.
"Stupid tap" I groaned.
Angrily, I turned to go. I was about to place my hand on the door when it swung open. A small smile spread across my face as I closed the door back. I attempted to touch it again, this time my mind focused on opening the door and it actually opened without me touching it.
"Oh my sweet baby Jesusssssss" I squeaked silently "This is insane" I giggled "I am not crazy"
Moved out of the bathroom to my room and attempt to open the door from outside but nothing happened. I tried again to open it but instead, I heard a glass noise from inside my bathroom. I didn't want to open it but I know I have to so slowly I opened the door to meet what I had expected, broken glass.
My mirror is broken.
I know how hard it is to believe myself but I just realized that something is truly wrong with me. Something strange is wrong with me or I am really crazy and seeing things.
I noticed sparkles on the broken pieces of glass and scoffed. If whatever that was wrong with me is trying to prank me with sparkles from pieces of glass it should as well know that it won't work.
"Buss off" I scoffed and turned.
Immediately I was leaving, I heard my bedroom door open. I know they want to sing me a birthday song which they do every year and that is extremely so boring. I looked at the glass and panicked, no matter what I do, I can't let them see the glass, or I will lose the little freedom I just had.
"How can I make this disappear?" I whispered to myself.
To my greatest surprise, it all went away, it vanished leaving not a signal trace except the mirror side empty. Hastily I closed the door and rushed out to meet my mum rounding up the song in her high-pitched soprano voice.
'Happy Birthday to you, Miranda' Mom sang 'Happy Birthday toooooo youuuuuuuuuu'
I ignored the annoying part that she had to drag the last part of the song as usual and smiled. I hugged her, Dad, and Jeremy before attempting to blow the candle.
"Make a wish, Mira" Dad said.
I sighed and closed my eyes, there are so many things that I want to wish for and I don't know where to start from. Since it's a wish that I have to make, I silently wished to let my family know that I am not crazy and see what I can see.
Immediately I blew off the fire, I heard mom gasp. I looked at her to see her pointing at my wrist, Dad and Jeremy were also staring at it and I had to do the same too.
My tattoo! It's life now!! They can see it!!!
"Can you see it?" I asked to be sure.
"It just appeared" Mom gasped "It just appeared" she freaked out.
My shoulders dropped, I didn't wish to freak my parents out on my birthday. I didn't mean to make them so scared and worried about me. I know I want them to see what I see I didn't really mean the tattoo.
What do I tell them at work now!
