Zayn and Cassandra were shocked to hear to his response.
"W-what about mine?" Cassandra lifts her itching hand up for him to see. Louis shakes his head."You must have a really bad dream. Let's go to the church tomorrow morning. You guys wanna sleep beside me?" Louis asks gently, caressing their head. He was aware of Zayn's odd dreams. However, it was a first for Cassandra to dream and experience the same thing as Zayn did, only a minute and a half time later.The two look at each other and sit against the couch, wiping their tears and snot with their sweater paws."N-no, we're good.""Cassie, you dreamed the same as him? Tell me what you remember.""There was something," Cassandra looks at her palm. Strangely, she felt the itch reducing as she looks back up at Louis, "It was b-black and mighty. I saw it there, when I opened my eyes." She says, pointing to the ceiling with a small chandelier above her head."Black...wasn[December of 2047]"I- I'm sorry, Louis!" Cassandra was seven years old. Her brother was eleven, trying to fix a bruise on his hand and his forehead before their mother overwhelmed at them and screamed at the boy."Don't speak a word, Cassie." He says softly to the girl who cries loudly. Her fists wipe her tears as it was raining.It was a tragic day.At night, they witness another drunken Intercourse her mother had with someone they didn't know. The man stayed at her place, along with the kids, stating that he could pay her more for the rent. Immediately agreeing for a few pennies, for a one day rent at her shabby house, their mother failed to see the intent of the male.Baby Cassandra was in grave danger when Louis came back from school just then.He saw the man banging on the girl's door, demanding her to come out so he can relieve his frustrations on a poor little girl.Understanding his intent and feeling
"Zayn... do you know about the astral plane?" Cassandra asks as she packs her clothes in a bag. She was willing to stay with Ravine for the time being. As Louis suggested."Yes, I'm aware. It's a dimension for souls, if I'm not wrong." The professor says."That's right. I hope I can meet my brother there before...and beg for forgiveness." Says she."I'm sure he will not forgive you." Zayn's words makes her turn around with a worried look."He won't forgive you, because you don't need forgiveness. Remember that." Zayn says as he kisses her forehead softly. He goes back into his room.Cassandra then proceeds to call Ravine and let her know she was dropping by. There was no special need for a call to inform Ravine, but Cassandra felt responsible to let her know.Louis had taken the two to the church, talking to the priest as he concluded it was stress as well. Praying for a few minutes, they came back home. "Hello?"
"Idiot!" "Ow, ow, my finger!""Skskksk!"The meeting room was disrupted with the two playing a thumb match in the middle. After a great deal of half an hour, Cassandra and Louis chuckle while clearing their throats. The meeting comes to an end as the CEO shakes hands with the ambassador and the CEO of another company.Framton watches the other company representatives leave. He turns to his children who were playing on their own, in a world of their own. "Kids," people of the cabinet leave, whispering among themselves as they adore the siblings."That wasn't very nice on our part to pay divided attention to them. Especially you, Louis. You're the CEO.""Oh, papa. It was their fault that their points were so dragged and boring! I was listening to them too! Am I right, Cass?" Louis dramatically points to Cassandra who passes the same vibe towards Framton."It was boring, right dad?" She asks Framton.Mat
A cursed Wednesday arrives.Zayn and Cassandra could feel their hearts pounding harder and harder every minute that passes by in their lives. Every minute closer to Louis Johnson's death time. They didn't want to lose any of the hints ever given. And as a result, they bunk their classes even if attendance was mandatory and important for their classes. As for Zayn who was having an internship at his brother's office, he insisted that he or her stay close to Louis all the time.It was around 3 pm when Louis finally gets off of some serious work and had some time to spare to eat. As he was eating his lunch, he senses the two hawks trying to eat his food. He blinks rapidly at them.To him, Cassandra and Zayn looked like two famished children who were trying their hardest not to pounce on him and steal his food. It was true that Louis makes his own food in the morning everyday. And considering Cassandra who could now eat a whole ass cow if hungry, he
"Is it placed in the cockpit?""Yes boss, it's done.""Good. I transfered the money to your account. Don't let anyone know your financial status right away. Get out of New York first, then do whatever you want with that money.""Yes boss. Good deal."****Zayn quits the meeting after a while. He makes an excuse to use the washroom when he was actually heading towards Cassandra. "Cassie, you gotta listen to this." Saying, he quickly shuffles inside. Cassandra was listening to her class when she pauses to hear him speak. Muting herself, she goes towards him as he tells her everything, in soft whispers."There are cameras in here, right?""Yes. But I think this is the blind spot. Anyway, spill it.""He's going to California on 23rd as we were said. He's boarding the fucking private service which doesn't allow anyone else but him.""It's already so suspicious..." "I know right. But...how do we prove it right? I don't wanna be told I'm a psychic or something.""Me neither, Zayn. But I th
The duo rush down to the cafeteria. Quickly pointing out the VIP sitting with his boss, they call him aside to discuss."Actually sir, we would like to know if you told us about the aircraft which you are using for the private jet. The reason why I insisted for us to join our brother was because our sister is majoring in a-aeronautics. She would love to collect a model.""Sir, I'm afraid we won't allow that. It's a private—""We can't ask the same for public transport, right? Just the model name, and where it is stationed, sir. We will note everything under your invigilation if you'd permit." The man raises his eyebrow.He felt nothing wrong in accepting their request."Alright, sir. I will talk to my boss. Only because you're Johnsons and I will allow it.""Thank you, sir." David walks to his boss, mentioning about the aircraft situation with the Johnson siblings.The man was clever, but the lovers were even more clever."Are they calling us?" Cassandra feels her heart diluting to a
Cassandra was driving on the highway all by herself. She had learned to drive a car as soon as she turned 20 a few months ago in April. Louis had been her driving instructor as he bought her a birthday present as well.A Land Rover that she always fancied.In the same Land Rover, she was feeling a presence behind her when nothing was actually there. She was afraid it was another horrid dream about the God of death again. She wasn't ready to see him.But she was wrong about his arrival.For he often arrived with a message to be etched on her palm."Cassie?" Cassandra presses the breaks with full force when she hears a voice in her head."It's me, Cassie. Louis." Her heart began to race as she stepped out of the car. There was no one using this road to the outskirts, especially when it was beginning to drizzle. Cassandra chose to drive around on the Sunday just because she was bored out of her mind and she'd saved Louis from dying, as instructed and wanted by the God of Death.When she
Louis singlehandedly took care of the case. The CIA were kept on finding out who and how the investigation went. Hannes smoothly redirects the CIA to enlighten them that he and his team have run a diagnosis of the aircraft and did their best.A week passes.Ravine and Cassandra were quietly walking to their classrooms when they split at the corridor."I'll see you at lunch!" Cassandra enthusiastically waves at Ravine who keeps walking."What's wrong with her?" Shrugging her shoulders, Cassandra enters her class and forgets about Ravine's disinterested mood.At lunch, she gets a text from Zayn who was at the campus.[What are you doing here?][Louis wanted to take us all to Alaska out of the blue. Come with Ravine, we will explain everything later][I gotta take permission from the vice-principal fool] she texts him.[Ha, who do you really think Louis is, huh? Just come down] [Foine] texting him and chucking her phone into the bag, Cassandra goes to fetch Ravine from the class."Hey,
