Chapter 18

Awareness in a dream is an odd thing. It feels like you’re awake, even when you are fully aware you can’t be, and sometimes the dream feels like a memory more than a dream. This one does as I dance around in circles on my own. It reminds me of the demon ball a week ago where I danced with Torfinn, but I’m alone now in the ballroom. The crowds of people have left, leaving only myself as I dance.

But I can’t stop. My feet move to the rhythm of the music like I’ve been trained to dance my whole life, and nothing I do stops me. Then I instantaneously can’t move; I’m paralysed with nothing but mind-numbing fear as I’m suddenly not alone anymore. The man from my last fucked up dream walks across the ballroom, his dark cloak hood hiding his face as always. The vivid memory of him nearly choking me to death makes me panic, and I try to fight whatever hold he has on me, closing my eyes and concentrating on waking the fuck up.

“You cannot hide from me, my dear sweet Daesyn, for I want you as my queen,” he sings to me, his gravelly deep voice making all the hairs on my body rise up. “Oh, the one who holds the cursed rune is so sweet, as will be the power the Otherworld gives her as a treat. Destruction and power are a desperate pair, and in her hands, everyone will despair.”

“Stop with the fucking riddle-like songs and let me go!” I scream, and the man just stands still as my feet move themselves without my permission to right in front of him. His hands whip out of his cloak, grabbing my shoulders tightly. It doesn’t hurt at first, and then his touch slowly starts to burn. I scream as I can’t move, and the pain becomes so extreme that dots flicker in front of my eyes. I feel it inside my body, burning me.

“Oh dreams are a window into the soul, as a great man once said, but for fae...they are the key to everything we try to hide. I will find you, Daesyn Heartlocke. I will find you...”
