When I Found Myself

Chapter 8

Harver and I return to our quiet stage as we go back and sit on the bed.
"I never knew you had an older sister." I said, suddenly. Harver looked up.
"Yea..she's been living here with my dad." He said quietly. His eyes put me in a trans, and I feel the need to sleep. I lay back on the bed and close my eyes slowly. I feel Harver lay back, too. I turn my head to the side, and open my eyes again. Harver's eyes are looking into mine now.
"Harver?" I asked.
"Yea?"
"What are you most afraid of?" I don't know why I came up with this question. It just popped into my head. He didn't even think long.
"Losing you." That's when I face my head back towards the ceiling, and I fall into a deep sleep.

"You can't escape now. I have you. There's no possible way of escaping." A deep voice says. I turn around and scream. A man about six foot seven stands in front of me. His eyes are red and there is a hood over his head, so I can't see much else. I start to run.
"You'll never take me alive!" I yell back towards it. I see him smirk.
"Well, that can be arranged." The voice says, as its claws pull me back.

END OF DREAM


Harver is shaking me.
"Rayne? Rayne are you okay? You were screaming in your sleep."
"What?" I look around and it all comes flooding back to me. I'm being forced to become a vampire princess, soon to be queen. "Yea..fine..just a bad dream..." I say, dazed. I look at Harver's face, full of concern.
Harver's trying to look awake as possible, though I know he probably fell asleep, too. For some reason, I had this sudden urge to kiss him, and I have no idea why. His hair was messy, his shirt wrinkled. But looking up at his eyes, I didn't know anything that could be better.


"So when do I get to leave this room?" I ask Harver.
"Welll....you're on bedrest." He says.
"Bedrest? Why would I need that?"
"You might go into shock if you don't stay here a few days.
"Great, so I'm a prisoner in not only a 'realm' but also a room." I say, sighing.
"Hey, at least I'll be here?" He says, trying to convince himself as much as me.
"Got any board games?" I ask. He smiles.
"Be right back."

About ten minutes later, Harver walks into the room with dozens of board games. Everything from Monopoly to LIFE. He had the electric version of Deal or No Deal, and Scene It! Music Edition. I laughed at him because of all the games covering his face. He set them all down and locked the door behind him.
"Why do you keep locking the door?" He blushes.
"I don't know. Just because there's a lock there I guess." I laugh at his awkwardness and we start playing Scene It! Music Edition.


In the end, I win. I always win Scene It. I also win at Monopoly, LIFE, Candyland...you name it I won. Although Harver did win Deal Or No Deal eletronic game. And UNO. But I've never been good with card games, so I counted on losing that one. Soon, it's time for more sleep, but not before a big bowl of chocolate brownie ice cream.
