Verena’s Room
“You have to concentrate and stay with me, Zelda.”
Theo pushed the blonde’s hair out of her face and put his
hands to the sides of her head; Verena’s eyes were shut and he kept two fingers
on each side, watching her closely. “You have to concentrate and keep
connected. I’m guiding you through the Gates. If you let go, I’ll have to get
you back and that’s going to be a pain in the ass,” he growled.
From her position, he saw a small twitch come from her lips.
“Fine. Go laugh,” he sighed. Theo soon fell back to his
usual silent routine and rubbed circles slowly on her head, letting his eyes
fall shut as he navigated her through. You
should be able to communicate with me soon enough, he thought. When you pass after the Gates.
Theo had images flicker in his head. He briefly saw the
bright glow of the Gates before him, and a shocked gasp left his lips as the
sight of a bleeding, fractured sky penetrated his thoughts. “Shit,” he cursed.
Why was he there in the first place?
In his dreams the past few nights, he heard a voice calling.
In his dreams the past few nights, he saw the same pair of
scalet eyes Verena had told him about months ago.
The eyes belonged to a silver-haired lady. The first night,
he couldn’t understand anything she was saying. The second, she managed to get
a broken word out. The third, the next word. And finally, the fourth, she told
him those two words:
Help me.
