Bloods Gem (26 page)

I sent Daniel many text messages, voice
mails and I got no response. He hasn’t called or visited my dreams.
I figured I deserved this because I hurt him by deciding to believe
and forgive Chris. I knew he wouldn't forgive me easily.

I went back to our house. Laying down on
Daniels side of the bed sniffing the pillow his head once occupied.
Being there made the pain worse, but I felt as though the memory
was still alive. Reassuring myself that I didn't imagine this all
up in my head, that Daniel was and still is real. I wanted him back
in my arms, and there was nothing I could do or say to make him
come back. I wasn't sure if or when he would come back to me. I
wished there was a signal to summon him so I could give him my
explanation. I decided later I would try to dream him up or call
upon him in my sleep. I would do anything just to see his face
again, to feel him again.

Opening my eyes I was laying on a white bed
with a canopy draped over. Rose peddles covered my naked body. Not
wanting to be exposed, I placed my arm across my chest and cupped
my breast.

Daniel walked into the room and I didn’t
feel the need to shield myself from his gaze. His luring eyes
pierced through me, making my body tingle. He smirked as he drew
closer. His white button up shirt was open at the top, exposing his
masculine chest. My desire consumed me, I yearned for his
touch.

The moon shining through the glass windows
illuminated his masculine body, as he tossed his clothing to the
white floor below. Climbing on the bed his eyes burned with lust.
My body freely floated into his as he summoned me. Our bodies
pressed tightly together. He gently bent me over and firmly pressed
on my back. His hands freely roaming my body as he penetrated me.
Making every inch of my body tremble in pleasure.

I woke up feeling incredibly relaxed.
I tried remembering what I dreamed but it never came. I knew it was
something about Daniel but wasn’t sure what exactly. All I knew was
whatever I dreamed it made me feel hopeful about us. I wondered if
he’d come to me in my dream but erased my memory of it for some
reason. Leaving me with this immense happiness that I can’t
explain. I jumped out of bed looking for my phone. Spotting it on
my dresser, I picked it up looking at the missed calls. Chris
called four times, and text seven times. Then there was one text
from Daniel.
Yes!

Hello my Love. I’m sorry I’ve been absent
for so long. I hope you don’t hate me for this. If you will still
have me I will immediately be on the first flight out.

I’ve been crying over you for many nights. I
really thought you just didn’t want me anymore until last night…
But I can’t remember everything, what did we do in the dream last
night?

Love, I’m very sorry that you had to shed
even a tear for me. I hated every minute being away from you and I
wont let this happen again. Last night? It must have been your
conscience, because I didn’t sleep last night, I haven’t slept in
awhile actually…what do you remember about this dream?

Ugh, well that kind of bums me out a little
but now that your finally talking to me again it makes me feel a
little better. I don’t really know. I remember seeing you and
everything was really white, but everything’s still fuzzy. I woke
up and felt so good though. Guess it was a great dream from the way
my body feels. I cant even explain it.

Your body? What do you mean? Did we… do
something in the dream?

I dunno, maybe, why is that a bad thing?

It can be. Not sure yet. I'll tell you
everything when I get there Love. Just please do me a favor… Can
you stay in today?

Um, okay. Should I be worried?

Not yet. Like I said it was probably just a
dream, but the feeling after… Do you feel closer to me or…? Anyone
else?

Nope just you, I want only you…and
badly…

Good. You have me, don’t ever forget that
Love. I'll be there as soon as I can.

No… I mean I WANT YOU come on don’t make me
spell it out for you…

Oh. Sorry Love I’m dumb sometimes at these
things. I do as well with every fiber of me. Soon my Love I
promise, but timing is everything just be patient with me. I love
you always.

So do you forgive me for the whole Chris
thing?

That’s… something we’ll have to discuss. Yes
I’m still angry about it but it's better we talk in person see you
soon Love.

It bothered me he couldn’t forgive me yet. I
knew it hurt him pretty bad if he couldn’t just say all's forgiven.
I felt like I would give anything or do anything to prove to him
that I didn’t have any feelings for Chris in that way and how sorry
I was. I just needed him to know my true feelings. The feelings I
bore toward Daniel were too deep and painful to understand myself.
I would rather be dead then to live another day without him in my
life. I love him too much. It seemed almost so much that it was
unhealthy. As though he was something to worship. But in my mind he
was. I did worship him like he was a god or something. And I didn’t
know if that was just because of the effect he had on humans or if
it was just me.

After mentally draining myself with all the
racing thoughts I decided to text Daniel asking if he would meet me
in my dreams later. He never text me back.

I took sleeping aids around seven in the
evening. Falling asleep around seven forty- five. I felt myself
jump as I fell into a deep sleep. Entering my dream I was suddenly
at our waterfall. I yelled Daniels name over and over again hoping
for him to show up. He finally came. He slowly walked toward me. He
stood there staring at me like he was waiting for something. I
reached my hand out and he didn’t move.

“
Daniel, please forgive me. I would do
anything to get you to accept my apology. I love you so much!” I
pleaded with him.

He smirked. “Anything?” He asked. His voice
was a colder version of the one I was used to hearing. “Yes.
Anything you want. Please just forgive me for hurting you.”

His gaze pierced through me as he stepped
closer. He pulled me into him and kissed me. But it didn't feel
like before. This kiss seemed different, emotionless. Looking into
his eyes they too were different. Empty.

“
You seem different.” He stood silent
for a few minutes as though he was thinking of an excuse for his
lack of emotion.

“
Yes. There’s been a lot of things
I’ve been dealing with Faith. So sorry if I seem a little strange
to you.” Something was just off. But I didn’t know what it
was.

“
I need you to meet me somewhere if
you’re serious about what you offered,” He said. I was too eager.
“Okay, where?” I asked.

“
How about the house?” He
suggested.

“
Okay, when do you want me
there?”

“
Now.” He seemed impatient.

“
Okay…” I agreed.

He placed his hand on my head and I woke up.
I got dressed and took moms truck down to the house. All the lights
were still off, like no one had been there. Walking up to the house
I saw the door was cracked open. Pushing it open I called out to
him.

“
Daniel?”

I heard him answer back, so I went
inside.

“
Where are you and why are all the
lights off?”

“
I’m in the kitchen. My eyes are
sensitive right now just walk toward my voice,“ he said. He stood
next to the fridge.

“
There you are,” I said walking toward
him. “So, what do you need me to do?” I asked. He
chuckled.

“
Take your clothes off,” He
said.

“
What? I thought you wanted to
wait?”

He approached me.

“
Faith, just trust me… Now take your
clothes off.”

“
Um… Okay…” I felt strange doing this,
like it was a trick or something. But I did as he said. I got down
to my panties and bra.

“
Now come here darling….” It felt as
if he was controlling my body to move toward his. He grabbed me,
jerking me to him. He kissed me forcefully and tore the rest of my
clothes off. Yanking me off my feet he picked me up and darted to
the sofa, throwing me on it as though I was a rag doll. He threw
his clothes on the floor and jumped on top of me pressing his
erection to my leg. He began grunting and held my arms down. I
couldn’t breath and he was crushing me. “Stop, stop!” I shouted. He
wouldn’t stop so I started fighting, punching him in the head. He
placed his palm to the back of my head it burned my scalp. I
suddenly felt calm and submissive. My body was quickly responsive
and out of my control. I wasn’t scared or hurting anymore. I closed
my eyes and let my body go limp surrendering myself to
him.

Hearing a growl echo the room loudly made me
open my eyes. Daniel was in the air being flung around. Someone
else was in there with us, and he was fighting with whoever it was.
They moved so fast I couldn’t keep up. I yelled, “Leave him
alone!”

I hurried to put my clothes on then turned
on the light. There were two Daniels. One threw the other upstairs
and the other darted after him. I didn’t know what to do. I was in
shock. I could hear growling and cussing coming from upstairs.

Celeste entered the room before I
tried going upstairs. She explained what was going on. Her brother
Adrian came here to trick me into thinking he was
Daniel
by cloning his image and
presenting himself to me. His plan was to unold on me after he made
me pregnant.

I dropped to the floor and started vomiting.
I felt sick and foolish for falling for it. “Did he… get very far?”
Celeste asked.

“
He was about to when Daniel showed
up, but no. He didn’t have the chance to do anything to me except
suffocate me and bruise me up.”

Feeling disgusted, I held my stomach and
cried. Celeste tried comforting me but it didn't help matters.

Others showed up and ran upstairs. Then
there was silence. Four men had Adrian restrained as they walked
back downstairs. Daniel followed behind. His eyes bloodshot and his
expression was pained. He dropped to his knees as he came
closer.

“
I’m so sorry Faith… I could have lost
you forever. I’m so sorry I put you through this please forgive me.
Please tell me you still want me. I didn’t believe Adrian would
really try this.” He put his arms around me.

He glanced at his sister and she nodded,
leaving us alone. He cupped my face in his hands. “Faith, I love
you so much. I don’t want anyone to harm you. I want to be together
always. If I was here minutes later. he would have done what he
came to do, and I would have been too late.” I looked into his
teary eyes. He looked exhausted like he hadn’t slept in weeks. His
eyes started changing colors. I drew my face closer squinting
wondering if I was seeing things. His mouth opened and I heard a
hissing sound coming from his chest. Startled I tried getting away
but he was too quick and I too slow. Within seconds he was on top
of me ripping through my skin with his teeth.

I woke up screaming, cheeks soaked in tears.
Daniel was next to me holding me. “What’s wrong? I’m here Love.” I
fought him still out of it. His hand went to my head and
immediately I calmed.

“
This is bad, really bad!” I
shouted.

“
Faith, what did you see, what is
it?”

“
Your brother Adrian…” I
whispered.

“
Tell me everything. I need to
know…”

“
He was coming for me to get me
pregnant and unold on me, he was tricking me making me think he was
you.” Daniel held me close.

“
He wont get near you Love I promise
but you do realize, the dream.”

I nodded. “I know, it might come true
right?” His head dropped. His fist tightened. “Faith,your ability
is rare, you dream the future. He won’t get you, I won’t let
him!”

He stood up and went to the window.

“
If you have to go to school, I’m
going with you, or you just stay with me.” He began packing my
clothes.

“
Wait, what are you doing?” I asked.
Your coming with me. I can’t sit here and guess when he’s going to
try. I need help. Would you consider coming to London with me, or
having my sister come here and stay with us?”

“
Whatever you think is best Daniel. I
just don’t want to be away from you,” I said, as I stood up. He
hugged me. “Faith. I love you so much. I’m sorry I was gone. I
can’t imagine something happening to you. I would never forgive
myself.”

I shook my head. “Nothing will. You’re here
now and staying….right?”

“
Yes. I wont leave you alone but don’t
get upset if I have my sister baby-sit you.”

“
I promise,” I said trying to kiss
him. He pulled away. “What?” I asked wondering what I did
wrong.

“
Sorry Love, I just haven’t had time
to eat, affection makes it a little difficult… you
know?”

“
Oh crap. I’m sorry. Yeah your eyes
are really red, go eat something.”

“
Come with me. I'll go buy some meat,”
He said, pulling me and the clothes he packed for me out of the
room.

“
Okay, but let me text my mom. I’m
going to tell her I need to tell her I'm going to stay with you for
a few days.”

Daniel

I called
father telling him about the dream Faith had. He confirmed
that it's an ability she gained, just as I expected. The closer we
get to our gem, the more abilities she gains. However, on most
occasions the abilities occur when the process of unolding has been
completed.
