‘What’s happening to us!’ Ashina panicked.
One moment I was Sitting on the floor, with Emma, rubbing something warm on my open palms and placing it on my forehead. It was indeed a shocking surprise to feel myself floating.
Inside of me felt light. As light as anything possible and for some reasons, I tried to grab unto something.
I tried to tighten my grib but nothing was happening. I tried to feel around me but my body would not work.
“What’s happening?” I said this time to them.
My breath became uneven and the more I tried to make it steady, the more I felt compressed.
My system collapsed and I felt suffocated and drowning at the same time
“Help!” I muttered with all the strength I had but my voice was sounding back in my head.
It was like hearing my voice in an empty room.
“I -can’t – breath” I said .
Although I could hear it back in my head but I really didn’t mind. I need help or I might die.
Silence.
Just me and my fear, pain, and struggling.
Without being told, I tried to grab unto something. To hold anything and break out this mess.
I felt my inside grow hot and ice cold almost immediately.
Frankly I never believe I would want to do this at the first place. I should have told Klaus that I wasn’t ready and he will leave me alone.
Why the heck did I have to trust him?
Why on earth would Mate even let me do it?!
If he had really loved me, he would have protected me. He would have stopped me even if I was being strong headed.
Even if!
Even if I have being acting up lately, I still deserved love. I couldn’t just stand the fact that my mate would hide all those for me.
I still love him.
I still fucking love him!!!!
‘Mate’
I mentally looked around my head.
Although the voice was clear, I could even recognize it at the very dangerous verge of death.
‘Mate I am here for you’ Rex said again.
His voice in the mind link was smoothing and calm. I almost felt like I was having an cereal and Banana smoothie.
He had this energizing calmness that melted me. It broke me down to me knees, reminding me that I would always be a no body without my mate.
‘Mate listen to me’ Rex said ‘I promise I won’t let anything happen to you’
I smiled.
My fear immediately began to subside and I developed this faith in him. The euphoria of endless love filled me, making me get the imagery of getting spooned by my mate.
‘Good girl’ Rex whispered.
Although I couldn’t see him, I was sure that he had his signature smirk on his face. He should be as proud as fvck that he has such effect in me.
The effect only him would give me.
‘Just like that… steady nice breath and imagine yourself in a banana plantation’
I giggled.
He knows I love bananas.
I mentally set a reminder to give me lots of smooches when I see him. But for the main time, I relaxed and let the wind take me.
To an unknown destination.
To the place I have no idea of.
Magical my destination began to appear.
It was cool, filled with an unexplainable amount of euphoria.
I saw strange people, happy looking strange people.
They seem to live carefree.
Living with one mind, the mind of all of them.
I was happy for them.
I haven’t see sets of people, different in skin shades, size, heights, and even ranks. All that mattered to them was the happiness of their neighbors, the person in front of them.
It was then I noticed a woman, a calm pregnant woman.
I walked to her, studying the fine features of her face, body, and hair that I found familiar.
Those fine green eyes.
As fine as the green sea, mixed with fresh olive and sweet calmness. Her long straight black hair fell over her left shoulder while she used her fingers to ceaselessly comb them.
Gosh! She look like me.
Her bare neck exposed as I noticed a necklace, my necklace with the same chain but in her neck, they looked brand new.
Could she be my mom?
While I was watching, a man walked up to her.
He looked strong. Like the kind of man that would hold me by my ankle over a cliff and I would not shake.
“What are we going to call him?” He asked her after placing a kiss on her head, nose, and lips.
“I keep telling you that we would be having a girl and I will name her Ashina”
I grinned like a big head if fish. I just felt happy, happy to see them.
I walked to their front, hoping they would talk to me then I remembered that I was in a trance. It was then I noticed his own matching necklace. Obviously, they should be my parents.
I felt the same happiness they had because they would have me. Or rather, Klaus and I.
Klaus. Klaus?
I noticed him run pass, I bit grown and much younger than he was now. He seem much or be around his early adolescent.
Without being told, I followed him into the woods where he seem to be after something up. I followed his gaze to see him running after a younger version of me.
I smiled.
Do I really used to be much of a tree climber when I was little?
Even as I wasn’t so pleased about the whole jumping stuff and names Klaus was calling me, I just had this joy. The euphoria of being carefree and not worried about breaking my bone or snapping out.
“You love the feelings right?” Klaus asked me.
Not my younger version, the older me.
I was shocked on how he could see me. Was it my mind drifting or playing tricks on me?
Pretending not to hear or see him, looked away. I tried to focus on my younger self before I knew what, I slipped.
I could see my younger self falling and ceaselessly rolling down a hill. Worst, I was falling together.
Desperately trying to grab unto something, I looked up to see Klaus just standing. He had this scared look on his face while he screamed.
“I am going to get help, Stop falling!?”
Stop falling?
Does it look like we could do it by ourselves?
My head continually bashed against the hard roots, stone, and my face rubbed the pain grass.
‘Ashina, your brother is not answering his mind link’ I heard my mom’s voice in my head ‘You both should make sure you don’t come now, hide. Just run away!!’
She sound scared, like she was under pressure or attack.
Hearing my mother in such pain, I growled. I tried to make it. To climb up but I slipped and feel into a body of water.
Struggling with the wave and the fear of drowning, my younger self called out for Klaus but he was no where to be found.
I was drowning too.
I was scared and it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest.
‘Please be safe, baby. Your brother is safe.’ I heard my mom’s voice. It was weak, like she was trying to whisper in the mind link.
I felt this sharp pain on my chest, like I was being stabbed. It happened again and joined with that of my panic of not being able to breath, I let the wave take me.
My younger self let the wave take both of us.
I knew what that pain felt.
Someone died! Maybe two!! I just know someone died.
Fustrated, I sank too.
I was willing to die, to just end it all when the water body vomited me into a strange place.
I looked around, trying to know where I was then my mind went to my younger self. She was laying cold, almost dead.
“No! No!! No!!” I panicked as I tried to give her a CPR but my hands kept going pass her.
Her lips was turning purple, same as her eyes.
‘Please!” I cried.
I stood up, looking around and there I found something hidden in the woods.
I found Brook!
