EPI 3 REOCCURRING EVENTS

"Oh, my head hurts,I feel like I have fallen from the sky." I mumbled trying to get up but all I felt was discomfort all over my body. 

Still I could not find any injury inflicted on me. The only thing I could remember was a young man on a white robe in my nightmare telling me that, this is my second chance. 

I could remember vividly about the nightmare, I can even tell the story of what happened in my nightmare over and over again, if I was asked .

Though, my nightmare made me feel frightened, especially when I remembered the cold look Lucas gave me.

I became more and more terrified, I needed to find Lucas and talk to him, this nightmare can not be.

Still having a bang on my forehead, I ignored it, stood from the bed and moved out of the house, in search of Lucas. On my way out I met Zoe. 

This same face, she tortured me to death, she jabbed a stick on my head and on my neck, causing me several pains before I passed out. It was this same soul, that told me stories that broke me emotionally and she also was the chosen mate to Lucas instead of me .

I murmured to myself as I approached Zoe,  feeling drowsy.

"Hey, Scar…" I shut her mouth up by  angrily smacking her across her face and left her in panic.

"What is wrong with me? To tell the truth, I am acting a bit strange." 

I needed someone to comfort me, recalling Lucas I planned going to him since to me Lucas seemed more comfortable to rely on.

There I found Lucas in the garden, admiring the beautiful plants that has sprouted and produced fruits and vegetables to consume. 

 “Here you are, Lucas dear" I called out to him, as I leaped over ridges of plants so I could quickly hug him for comfort..

“Scarlet, how was your night? I believed you must have slept like a baby”   Lucas said as he stretched out his hand to help me leap over to him without hurting myself.

It seemed somehow to me as I become more scared towards Lucas, my nightmare came back to my thoughts, as I stared at Lucas , frightened. I then let go of his hand and halted, making him surprised.

“Lucas, can I ask you a very important question?”  I took a step back and continued 

“Are you still fond of me, or do you have another motive towards me?”  Lucas was mystified by the question I threw at him. 

"Scarlett, how would you think of such a question? Have I done anything wrong to make you feel that I have another motive towards you?"  Lucas implored appall..

"You are a bit strange, you know?" He muttered, but I just shook my head, and let the insecure behavior of mine slide.. I might just be too paranoid about my nightmare.

“Have you persuaded your mother’s clan to vote for me for the Alpha position?” he asked again.

This question, it seems like events where reoccurring to me, same question where once asked and same spot.

I looked lost and confused, it was like, the earth was revolving around me. .

 “Scarlett, you have not answered my question?"  he got furious now, these things are now kind of making me believe my nightmare.

“Are you sure, Lucas that you  like me or was it just a game to you?" I retorted him with a question I had asked before, for some weird reason I don't trust him any longer.

“You just asked the same question, minutes ago, of course I like you, Scarlett” Lucas answered me with a terrified voice.

"Why would you be asking me such a question? What could you  have seen to doubt my love for you?" Lucas asked, staring at me with a panicked gaze.

"Gosh, Scarlett… how stupid of me to believe my nightmare more than reality.." I thought. 

I must have hurt Lucas in the way I questioned him. I attempted to apologize to him but stopped myself from doing so when I clearly recalled that he was the one that hurt me deeply without remorse in my nightmare. 

"But come to think of it why would this event playing now looks exactly just like the one in my nightmare?" I thought again.

"Hmmm, it's nothing I should probably leave now since I have seen you." I mumbled as I leaped over the ridge of the plant.

I went into reminiscent of the way he ordered an execution of my mother’s clan and how he accused me  falsely of what I did not do, conveying the witches to carve an unchaste mark on my face.

I touched my face as I remembered my nightmare again, but there was no mark on my face, but I felt the pain.

I knew that I have no love towards anyone but Lucas, if I once loved someone then, to me it was an illusion.

“Where is Zoe? Did she go to my house? “ I inquired again..

“Seems , you are good at guessing, well she went to your house to talk things out with your father. She said she was not in a good mood to tell me about it , though,"  Lucas said again and left me standing there with me still thinking about my nightmare.

"I have been in this scene before and now, it’s happening again," I thought.

I quickly dashed back home, opening the door,  I met Zoe and my stepmother, Charlotte discussing, they both drafted their attention towards me as I came in.

“Scarlett , come over here " my stepmother ordered, making me roll my eyes.

“Zoe,  said you slapped her, what was your reason for such?" she asked, as Zoe continued crying out loud.

“I slapped her because..” I stopped explaining myself when father walked in and met Zoe crying, and also pointing fingers at me. Sly bitch she must have told him.

"So Miss why did you hit her?" Father asked with anger and hatred burning through his eyes.

"I… I.." But he did not want to listen my side of the story, before cutting me off in anger.

“You act like a warrior with someone weak, if you killed her, you would be happy indeed, right?” he scolded at me. 

“Charlotte, penalize her like your daughter for this act she displayed and when she is done, she will apologize to Zoe.." he said as I stared at him with a stunned look, as he walked out.

"Of course I will do that…" she then turned to me..

"You, go clean up the kitchen… make sure you scrub and sweep the messy places in there." she smiled at Zoe as she told her to go home and relax.

I witnessed this event already and know the outcome,  I later sneaked out of the kitchen to be with Lucas .

So when I was done, I left the house in search of Lucas..

The nightmare events, especially how I was tortured sinked into my thought.

 As I got to Lucas room, there I  found Lucas in his room with Zoe, fondling and kissing one another.

I stared at them, with my eyes almost bulging out of its socket.
