Her Mysterious Past
1323 Words
Dawn furrowed her brows. What does he mean by not hospital? His wounds are fatal and yet he doesn't want to be brought to the hospital? Is he a criminal or something? Dawn glance at the man in the back seat. Oh! stupid me! She said to herself. Her eyes widen at what she realized.
Did I just rescue a vampire? She thinks and glanced at the back seat again. Her heart melts when she sees Drake fainting in pain.
Okay...Okay...not to the hospital. Dawn thinks. And she turns heading in the direction of going to her clinic. Dawn arrive at her clinic after half an hour of driving. He reaches at Drake that's now unconscious in the back seat. Good thing the neighborhood is quiet. It's late-night already and the streets are empty. Dawn laid him on the couch, and he hurried to get some things needed for dressing the wound. She feels that her hand is shaking.
I'm used to treating animals in trouble but this...
Dawn glance at the man. Oh! isn't he an animal too? And wait... a handsome beast. She thinks while staring at Drake's face. Hey! What are you thinking? Dawn shakes her head and scolds herself.
" What's your name?", Dawn softly asks Drake. She cleaned the wound on his abdomen. Drake slowly opens his eyes like he's in a delirium. His sight is open yet he feels his body is floating as half asleep and half awake.
He growls as his red eyes widen. He feels the cut in his flesh the pain brought by it seems to be digging deep into his body.
Dawn gets alarmed when she hears Drake growling like a hurting beast. She knows he's in bad shape. She laid her palm on his abdomen.
The claw of an Alpha King?!... it's what struck him...This is bad... Dawn realizes. What could stop this from bleeding? She asks herself as she fathoms to find a way.
" Hey!", Dawn anxiously gasps as she tries to calm Drake that has suddenly chilled, his entire body is trembling, curling onto the couch as his muscles become stiffer.
Dawn touches his arms intending to keep him from moving wildly but when her palm presses his flesh, she feels like she's drawn deep into him, that she could hear his every organ inside, that even the flow of his blood, the pumping of his heart, Dawn could clearly sense them all. It's telling her what's wrong.
The claw is toxic... and its poison is spreading nearly reaching to his spine! Oh god! no!
Dawn tilts him to the side and touches his back. Pressing her palm gently onto his spine, she suddenly feels a force that bounces against her. First, it is slight until there explodes a massive electrifying force, blazing, white, like gravity that pushes her away from him.
What is it? Dawn fell with her mouth wide open gasping to understand the thing that surprises her. The whole area is dazzling, enveloped by a force unknown to her, and as it lasts, she feels like it's creeping into her senses, and dragging her mind to see scenarios she never knows that belong to her.
Ariel!... Ariel!....
Those voices...where is it coming? Why do I feel like it's so far from here? And why are they calling me in that name? Dawn said to herself and then she gently touches her head.
Those blurry faces...why are their faces blurry? She thinks. She blinks her eyes forcing herself to remain awake. What is this some kind of hypnotizing force? She thinks as she again sees more scenarios flooding into her senses.
" You're my righteous heir. My one true descendant... and many will come after your life because of that, so you need to be brave"
" yeah...Baba"
Baba? That name sounds familiar. Dawn thinks. Who is she? She asks as she looks at the young teenage girl. She's got the eyes of a wolf!
"Ariel... meet me later at Mt. Sidon okay?"
Ariel just nods as she looks at his father leaving. She understands what they're going through now is a perilous time.
" Sweetie"
Ariel's mother calls her. She gently smiles and holds her hand, and after a while, she handed him a necklace. It's long where its pendant looks like an ancient medallion.
" What's this mom?" Ariel asks.
" That will protect you", her mom replies.
Ariel nods and thanks to her mom, then she gets her weapon and leaves too. She'll be waiting until the war is over and once it is, she'll meet his dad in Mt. Sidon as they had agreed.
Mom? That necklace?! Am I dreaming? Where am I? Why does everything I'm seeing look familiar? Have I been here? Dawn thinks as she watches Ariel leaving. It's like she's watching a movie where she's in there but no one can see her. My God! What's happening? Dawn thinks and she pinches her cheeks to wake herself up.
But moments after she heard screaming and metals clashing, howlings reverberate around the quiet night. She growls too in response. She can't help it's like the howlings she's hearing has some kind of enchantment that's pulling her unto it. She runs fast, jumping onto every cliff edge. Why my feet can't stop? Dawn wonders.
Then she heard a howl.
That howl sounds familiar!
And she keeps running until she sees a mountain standing in a perfect cone. Its tip kisses the sliver white moon. Again, the man whom Ariel calls Baba is there, howling raising his sword.
Dawn moves closer hoping she'll have a clearer view of the werewolf on the mountain top. Yet, it's still blurred and far.
Later she sees Ariel come and hold hands with his father. They both raise their weapons. The entire place is filled with victorious howling. Dawn smiles. She understands that Ariel's father had won.
But then seconds later another chaos erupted. Someone from the crowd shot an arrow at Ariel's father, and at Ariel too.
One...
Two...
Three arrows until Ariel fall.
Witnessing all that Dawn clutches onto her chest wondering why she feels could feel the pain on where Ariel was hit. She sees her gradually lose her consciousness.
No! Dawn is screaming in her mind...here is this feeling again, a kind of feeling where she's being dragged by a force, the same feeling she felt a while ago. She feels her senses going back again to where she was a while ago... here in her clinic and with this creature she doesn't know.
She heard a growl.
The vampire man! She thinks. Dawn gets up and checks the man. Her eyes widen to see that he's completely healed.
How many hours have passed when I was hallucinating? She thinks. Maybe that weird light healed him. Dawn said to herself.
She sighed and tiredly throw herself on the chair. Then she glances at her watch and realizes she hasn't had dinner yet. She heard her belly rumbling.
There's no food in the pantry. Mom had just gone here. She always eats what's left there. Dawn thinks. Then she gets up to buy some food in a 24 hours convenience store.
Meanwhile
Slowly opening his eyes, Drake wonders if what he sees a moment ago was a dream. He remembers his encounter with Kai. That wolf had almost killed me. He thinks. Then Drake smiles as the face of his savior flashes back unto him. Was it real? Does that kind of face exist? He asks himself.
Wait my wound. Why do I feel perfectly fine like none is hurting? He wonders and gropes his belly. His eyes widen realizing no wound is existing in there anymore, not even a scar!
" What is she?!", Drake gasps. Feeling doubtful he gets up from the couch and when he made sure no one is around, he walks out the door and hurried away.
