Chapter 6: Chapter 5 : Was That Even a Dream?
"Eh ?" I spout after losing my grip on the edge of the cliff.
.
When I fell, I still saw him, the blue wolf's commander. I don't know why he didn't even lend his hand to help me just before, but my mind now was filled with adrenaline. When I fell, I couldn't do much; I just closed my eyes, and many flashbacks passed through in my mind. Is this the end? But then, when I'll expect, I'm so done for.
.
*Thud*
.
"Ouchh, oh, what the...Im back?"
.
I woke up on the floor in my bedroom. It seemed like I was falling from my bed. The sound of my morning alarm was so loud, so I got up from the floor immediately and grabbed my handphone. It showed that it was at 5:30 AM, so I turned off the alarm. After that, I sat first on the edge of my bed to collect myself, making sure about what had happened.
.
"So, it was just a dream, again?" I said to myself. Why did it feel like it was not a dream? Then I wondered, "But why is the dream so weird?" Or maybe it's some special dream?
.
"It's like, the dreams are trying to show me something, the door, the fight, that forest too, but that mysterious voice back then... how did he even know my name?"
.
Not taking too long, I grab my necklace from my drawer and wear it. Then, I do my daily morning routine as always; nothing special happens at breakfast; I just chill at the dining table with my family and exchange some conversation and some small banter with my Big Brother. Then I set off to school again, but before that, I greet my parents first.
.
"Mom, papa, I get going now. " As always, my mother and father greet me off, too. But when I'm about to go out the main door, Duran talks to me, "Wait, Richan, I have something to ask you." Huh, what's happening with him suddenly asking me? I reply to my brother, "What is it, Kak? "
.
He glances behind, looking out for mother and father, then he looks at me with a concerned expression, suddenly grabs both my shoulders and says, "Are you okay right now ?" What did he mean by that? I reply to Duran, "Yeah, of course; hmm, why are you asking that?"
.
Duran scratched his head while tapping his feet, and then he said to me again, "Listen, I also don't want to make Mama and Papa worried, but... No... it's just… last night. Why are you running again in your room? Is there any PE exam for the marathon near this time?"
.
I replied to him, sounding confused, "What did you say? Running? I don't know what you're talking about." Then Duran said again immediately, "Yeah, like seriously, like the night before, but you were too loud last night." Listening to what Duran had just said, I was silenced and frozen because I was confused as hell right now.
.
Now I know what Duran would have said yesterday when we were in the middle of breakfast. He was about to ask me why I was running that night, too.
.
So when I dreamed last night and the night before, I was... I sleepwalked? What the hell happened? That's why when I wake up, both my legs always feel weak.
.
Because I was in a hurry to school, I finished this small conversation with Duran and said to him, "Let's talk about this later, kak. I'm going to be late." I said while looking at him in the eyes with confused eyes; then he replied, "Oh, okay. Be careful on your way."
.
.
When I had free time in the classroom that afternoon, I tried to recall what had happened the previous night inside my dream, about the strange, mysterious voice that always guided me, the battlefield, and, of course, the most remarkable thing that I still remember till now is that Blue Wolf's army commander.
.
Like, holy damn, he is so badass. He can wipe more than half of the monster's legion with one move. That was straight out of the fantasy manga I read about an overpowered character.
.
Well, at least last night's dream was better than the night before it, except for running in that forest part, ah yes. I don't know if I say I'm lucky or not, but I actually didn't see the creature that makes a scratch mark on the trees, and I'm curious about it; I'm pretty sure it was the same one who chased me in the forest.
.
I must explain my dream to Duran to clarify what just happened to me these two nights before, and I hope he can understand me. It's weird to think I was running while I fell asleep, and that's the first time I've heard that. I only heard about sleepwalking, but this is something else.
.
Well, whatever, let's sleep for now. I'm still sleepy after that last night. I can think about it later,
.
