Twenty-Six

Everly

I woke from a deep sleep, feeling slightly more refreshed. I still dreamed, but they’d seemed so far away. I’d only slipped in and out of the gray world for moments, before returning to a deep slumber. In the quiet of the night, I could feel them though. On the edge of my sleep. Waiting. And that alone made me apprehensive and ruined my night. I vaguely remembered I was in Marcus’s bed.

Sitting up, I peered out to the living room where he slept peacefully on the couch. Sunlight filtered in through the windows, and birds chirped outside.

I decided I should probably get up and make myself look slightly presentable, so I hastily freshened up in his bathroom, using my fingers as a brush and splashing water on my face.

I walked out to the living room and sank down onto the chair next to Marcus, wondering if I should wake him. He looked sweet curled into a ball, his mouth slightly opened. Nothing like a terrifying warlock. I was just about to leave and come back later when he stirred.

“Morning,” he mumbled, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. His black hair was a mess. He ran his hands through it quickly, yawning. He must have changed into his pajamas sometime in the night. I bit back a smile. He looked normal in fleece pants and a tank top.

“Morning,” I replied.

He cast me a lazy smile before getting to his feet.

“You can make coffee. I’m going to get a shower. Then we’ll go.”

“Go?”

“Yeah, I’ll show you something. It’ll be easier than just telling you.” He got to his feet and walked to his bedroom without waiting for me to reply.

Getting up, I hastily threw together a pot of coffee, noting the brand he used. Forsenia Rose. I’d never heard of it before. Whatever it was, I had to get some because it was awesome. Moments after I’d poured myself a cup of the steaming hot nectar, Marcus emerged looking put together. He poured himself a cup then sat on the couch.

“I’m glad to see I didn’t kill you.” His golden colored eyes flashed with humor. I scowled at him.

“Did you have any doubt?”

“There’s always a small chance.” He shrugged. I stared open-mouthed as laughter erupted from him. He’d been all offended last night when I’d asked. “It’s true. Plenty of things can go wrong with casting. I try to take into account all aspects before I place a charm that strong on anything. Did it work?”

“Well, like you said, I’m not dead,” my voice was sour.

“Not that.” He waved my words off. “The dreams. Did it help?”

“Somewhat. I still had them. Just not as bad or as long.”

“Progress.” He grinned at me over his cup. We sat in silence for a few moments before he stood up and took my cup from me, placing it in his sink.

“Come on. Let’s get this over with.”

“Don’t sound so excited,” I grumbled, following him to the door.

“Believe it or not, I am a little excited.
