C4 There’s something going on here

“Hello Mary.” Said Dad as he answered his phone. He’s been busy most of the day and it’s a bit annoying, but I can understand. Looking at my laptop, I see my writing getting slower and slower. I’m never going to make it in the “National Novel Writing Month”.

“Hey, how’s Pat and Danny?”

“We’re all doing ok, how are you doing?” Dad asked. I just laughed a bit. Even though there’s very little to talk to my family about, I still trust them on some subjects.

“I’m doing alright. I just thought I’d call to talk.” I answered. All Dad did was laugh.

“Well I’m in the middle of something here so I’ll call you when I’m done.” He said.

“Ok, talk to you later.” I said then hung up the phone and went back to my laptop. Scanning through the pages in my story, I have no chance at making it--

“Have faith dear. Have faith.” Said a woman. I looked up and I saw a woman with white blonde hair and wearing a spaghetti strap dress. She then smiled and walked over.

“There’s always a chance at your dreams, don’t let them fly away.” She said, As I was about to say something, I blinked my eyes and I woke up. I checked the time and it was 3:30 in the morning.

“That woman. She was so familiar.” I said to myself. Turning myself in a different position on the futon, I closed my eyes and then fell back asleep.

Toms Point of View:

“Where is she?” I asked myself as I sat at my desk. That son of a bitch Charles hid her from me, I’ll give myself a good leather jacket once I’m through with him!

“My Lord, we’ve found the Princess as you’ve ordered.” Said one of my servants from outside the office door. Finally, we can get things started!

“I’m on my way, send me the location and I’ll deal with her alone.” I said, smiling corruptly.

I jump into my Princesses room and I see her. She may look different, but her scent is still as sweet as fresh strawberries dipped in seduction. She’s my Queen and no one will have her, and if I can’t have her, then no one can!

“I see you’ve found her. You’ll be sorry if I find one hair off her head. Now leave before I get Shadow Knight here. You know he feels about his Anastasia, now, correct?” Said Akasha. I then pulled back. I can deal with one original, but two--

“Who’s there?” Mary said in telepathy as she looked around. Akasha then looks at her then back at me.

“Leave Tom, now.” Ordered Akasha. Looking at her, I start to think. I’ll be better off getting Rooks Knight to take her and bring her to my manor.

“Fine, but you won’t see the last of me. Goodbye dear Queen of the Heavens. Goodbye.” I said then flashed back to my office.

Sitting in my chair and in my office space, I start to think about what to do to my future Queen. My inner demon howl's in heat, looking at the one and only picture out of the several pictures that Robert had tried to hide from me. What a paranoid idiot, why would I hurt dear Chri--.

“Akasha told me what happened Tom.” Said Shadow Knight, or should I say; Richard Bloodstone. He moved in his shadow form and he slithered like a snake. Then going back into his human form. People have said there were many women who fought over who was the most powerful and most desirable in all of Halloween island. Between him and Akasha’s King, Akashore. Whatever, it’s boring to listen to that shit as I should be seen as the most handsome and most powerful man in all of creation!

“Well Richard--”

“Don’t Tom, it’s Lord Bloodstone to you. You and I both know that I only work as Shadow Knight when Bridget needs me to take care of you. It’s a thankless job for me having to babysit an ass like yourself.” Richard then walked back to the door.

“If I find you near Akasha’s Son, I’ll kill you with Akashore’s help and FYI here Tom, there’s one other man that wouldn’t mind torturing the shit out of you and putting you into a test tube for you to be tested on.” Richard then left the office. That bastard! Punching the top of the desk with my fist and hard enough that it broke skin.

“I’ll be the death of all originals!”

Mikes Point of View:

Last night was pretty creepy, first the dream with that young woman talking to me and then sensing this demonic entity in my presence. It reminds me about my inner realm. A long and wide hallway that’s painted with gold flakes and has doors that pop up depending on if something makes an impact in my life from time to time. One other thing about it is both ends of the hallway one is of neon white light and the other one is blood red but it was dark enough that it looked like pitch black shadows. This is strange, and I don’t understand why this is happening to me. But other than that, nothing bad’s going on nor will happen here in my life. Getting out of bed and getting dressed so I can live another day of being who isn’t me; Mary Angelica Barren.

As I watched recorded shows of ‘Ancient Aliens’, I started seeing that same woman from my dreams.

“Sweetheart, I hope your day’s doing good. I love you.” She said then vanished from within thin air.

“Mary, Terry’s on the phone.” Said Mom. I nodded, then I took the phone.

“Mike, are you free for the session at 12:00?”

“Yeah I’m free.” I said then turned off the TV.

“Ok see you then.” Terry said then hung up the phone.

“How’s your living situation?” Asked Terry. Looking at him, I just shook my head. I’m becoming extremely impatient.

“No answer to when the room will be done. My Dad wants it to be perfect before moving in.” Terry just looks at me and sighs.

“If you want Mike, I’ll talk to him.” Terry suggested.

“I’ll think about it.” I answered.

Getting back into my room, I plopped down and onto the futon and closed my eyes.

“I’m coming after you, and you won’t see it coming!” Shrieked out an ominous voice. I gasped in fear and I opened my eyes, there’s so much blood! What's going on here?

“I’ll protect you, Mike.” Said the woman as she walked up to me and placed her hand on my shoulder.

“I’ll protect you with every power in me. I’ll put my life on the line, just for your safety.” Said the woman who smiled and kissed me on the forehead.

“Close your eyes and think pleasant thoughts that make you happy.” Listening to her words, I closed my eyes and I started to think of the thing that makes me most happy. Opening my eyes, I can see myself sitting in a garden with flowers surrounding me and a woman sitting next to me. She was most likely in her eighties and yet she had the aura of a younger woman.

“Who are you?” I asked her.

“My name is Annie Greenwood, the matriarch of my family. I know you very well my dear, but in due time, I shall bring you your past and your memories. I will see you again soon. Dear Michael.”

Opening my eyes, there wasn’t any blood in my room and everything was normal. As if nothing had happened.

“Whatever happens, I just need to build up enough strength to fight against these things. Even though they’re not real, there has to be somehow and in some way.” I said to myself as I closed my eyes again and fell asleep. Just hoping to the Goddess can keep these things away too.
