Part 4 of Act 1

Part 4 of Act 1

The night passed by like any ordinary night, tossing and turning I’ve finally decided to wake myself up and face the new day. Last night I had the weirdest dream ever, I dreamed in my dream if that was possible I don’t even know. I stretched out before getting off the bed when I felt my hand holding into something I slowly opened my eyes and instead of something my eyes landed on someone who’s lying next to me, I opened my mouth to scream for help but then the person beside me suddenly turn towards my direction making all traces of my fear and anxiety vanished. I blinked rapidly, if this is a dream I don’t want to wake up. “Had a good sleep?” the stranger said in a low husky voice, my mind was paralyzed rendering it completely unable to come up with any words, I nodded and he smiled. The stranger let go of my hand and sat on his side of bed not removing his eyes on me. Feeling a bit awkward I mimicked his actions and sat on my side of the bed. After a few minutes of silence I finally managed to make my brain work. “Y..y..you must be Sammael, am I right?” My voice stuttered. His gaze did not waver but there is a glint of mischievousness in his eyes. He didn’t answer my question, but instead he got up and walked his way out of my room, stumbling on my feet I quickly followed his way out, if this is a dream I would probably find him gone once I stepped out of my room but instead when I got out of my room I found a girl sitting on my couch petting a black cat on her lap. The stranger lean on my side gesturing me to sit next to the girl on the couch, I hesitated a bit but followed when he nudge my side towards the girl’s direction. I sat myself in the nearest chair and looked at the young girl once again, this whole thing doesn’t make any sense and I’m trying so hard to focus and patch up everything in my mind. My thoughts was lost once the girl suddenly looked at me, she let her cat down the couch and took hold of my trembling hands. “I’m glad that we came here just in time. Who knows what they might done to you.” The girl stroked the back of my hand in such a gentle manner that I felt a wave of ease and comfort. “Who are you people? Is my life in danger? Who is the guy that attacked me last night? What have you done to him? Where is he? Did you call the police?” I looked back to my stranger who’s still leaning on the side of my bedroom door “and are you the one they called Sammael?” The living room was still deathly silent, either my stranger or the girl that's holding my hand is answering my bombarded questions, I was about to ask them again with something when the girl who held me squeezed my hand. “Patience and everything will be answered. You will come to know your purpose soon, in the mean time we have to keep you safe.” “I don’t understand.” I respond while slightly shaking my head, the girl let go of my hand and I felt another presence hold my shoulder, looking up I saw my stranger kneeling down in front of me gripping my shoulder ever so gently. “I am Sammael. That is the only question that we can answer at the moment. And she is Lily.” My head is all messed up, last night was terrible the thought that I almost got killed by an unknown man was really frightening, but the thought that my stranger was real and not just a dream was enough to compensate for the fact that I was almost choked to death. Lily looks at me and smiled, she was probably 16 or 17, she has reddish hair and she is a little shorter than me, if you look carefully her eyes had a small shade of onyx just like Sammael’s. Lily looks at me oddly before she pointed into her cat and says “This is my pet Lucious.” She picked up the feline and laid it into her lap once again stroking its ears with her gentle hands. Sammael sat himself beside me in another chair before he spoke once again. “Next time, just follow what you have seen in your dream.”
