Reopened Scars-chapter 14- Dreaming

Dreaming

“Victor?!”

“yes Lady Selene?”

“were you with Timber yesterday?”

“no ma’am, why?”

“no reason.”

“well if I can help you with anything let me know.”

“I will.”

Selene again lets out a curse. “damn Gerard, how the fuck am I going to handle this now? We have her party coming up, the hunt, and the fight, if she is pregnant…Gerard and his mutts will not hear the end of it. I will make sure that everything crumbles beneath them.” she walks back to timber’s cabin.

“Fang, make sure Juliana is well enough to fight this afternoon.”

“yes it will be done.”

“Mark go fetch victor make sure he is ready to fight this afternoon.”

“yes Madame.”

“Will, go get Raphael, he will fight Timber later.”

“yes.”

“Drake go with Will, if I know my son he will not be too pleased.”

Drake nods and leaves.

“Timber?” Fang says as he strokes her face and rubs her arm gently.

“hmmm?”

“how are you feeling?”

“a little dizzy, and sick.”

“well Selene is expecting you to fight today.”

“what? I’m sick how can she expect me to fight? Is she wanting me to lose? Do you know who I’m fighting?”

“Victor and Raphael.”

“RAPHEAL?!! SHE MUST BE INSANE!!!”

“shhh. I don’t know what Selene is thinking I’m only telling you what I’ve been told. But for right now I am to make sure you feel better before the fight.”

She sits up in her bed.

“scoot over let me hold you.”

She looks at him for a second and does what he asks.

“now does this make you feel a little better. You know if you would ever let me I could really take care of you. From the moment you walked into Selene’s door I have always wanted to hold you like this, always wanted to reach out and stroke your beautiful face, always had my own reasons for watching over you while you sleep.”

“fang, I have always felt especially close to you. You seem to always be there when things get tough, making me be strong for myself, or when things go wrong you are there to help me, protect me.”

Fang rests his chin on top of Timber’s head

“well just know that I will be here now keeping you safe, so go ahead and sleep.”

She settles herself against him and drifts off. She dreams she is walking down a garden, extravagant garden scarlet roses, black roses, and white roses everywhere covering every nook and cranny. As she walks along she comes to 3 paths. At one she can see to the end and there sits Gerard waiting for her by the lake shore on a blanket looking out in to the sunrise, he looks over his shoulder and a smile broadens across his face. How she missed that smile. She sees so few lately. He waves to her. His loving arms calling her. His intoxicating kiss screaming to her. On another she sees Fang. He is walking alone in the same garden down a moonlight path fireflies begin their dance he holds a single rose in his hand. His safe arms his mesmerizing eyes. She looks down the last path and sees Victor in his wolf form waiting for her to come run with him calling her to be her purest self she never had to be anything other than her self. She looks at all three paths again “so where do I go from here?”

She awakes to Fang holding her safely stroking her hair.

“Have a good dream?”

“yes it was beautiful.” is all she says.

“are you feeling better?”

“a little.”

“well Selene will be expecting us soon. Do you wish me to leave so that you can get dressed?”

“no I’m fine.”
