When Dreams Aren’t Dreams
Chapter 7
“What?” he bit his lip.
“The wounds are gone!!” she stood up from the bed
“What wounds?” he asked
“Don’t you dare to play dumb with me, now tell me what’s happening!!!”
“I’m going to buy some food” he began to turn around
“Trying to run away from me you coward” she thought running towards the door. She pressed her back against the door closing it. He stepped back surprised, he hadn’t expect her to do that “wow, you’re fast to be a…girl”
She narrowed her eyes at him “don’t change the subject”
“Listen I’m starving” he said
She thought about it for a second and actually she was starving too.
“Well, I will let you go, but I have a lot of questions okay”
“And I don’t know if I have your answers, now…” he said pushing her aside gently “I’ll be back” he said leaving the room.
She sighed and went to her bed to watch some T.V until he came back.
No normal person could heal that fast. Maybe he wasn’t normal, maybe he was one of those secret experiments of the government and he’d escape and they were looking for him, because he knew too mush. She laughed mentally “What am I thinking?”
He went to buy some food.
Since he began to run away he was always alone, it was easier for him to escape. Now he was stuck with a girl that didn’t know how to defend herself. Things would get harder for him now. He didn’t know how she got herself into it, but he couldn’t leave her alone, because they will try to kill her. He didn’t know if he should tell her who he was and what he was or why all the wounds on his body had disappeared. He didn’t know if it was safer for her not to know or if he should tell her everything. He took a deep breath before entering the room.
“Got your food” he said smiling “and some clothes” he threw her a small bag. She caught it and narrowed her eyes “hump!” she sat on the small round table that was in a corner on the room.
“Well, I haven’t introduced myself properly” he said sitting across from her “I’m Alexius”
“Yes I know” she snapped “I’m Lynn”
“Nice to meet you” he extended his hand
She shook his hand “Now hurry up and eat, cuz I’m waiting”
“Now why those wounds on your lip and forehead are gone?” she asked when they finished eating
“Lynn… I’m not sure if you want to know” he said
“Well, I have no choice I’m stuck with you… I mean, I think you’re stuck with me, so at least I should know who you are” she said
“Can I know who you are first? Oh and I want to know why you attacked me in the restaurant” he asked trying to make her forget about him
“Okay, my life is simple, or was… well anyways, my name is Lynn Barrows, I’m 19, I used to live in Arizona and used to work as a secretary and I attacked you because someone offered me money and I have no family cuz they’re dead… now tell me about you Alex, I can call you Alex right?” she smiled
He nodded “Well, I’m not sure if—”
She narrowed her eyes “short and straight!”
“okay” he sighed and looked down his brown hair falling over his blue eyes in the process “my name is Alexius, I’m 21 in human standards, but actually I’m over 200, I used to live in Syldem another world that is linked with this one, but usually no body cares, I used to be a god, but now I’m a guardian and I don’t know where’s my family”
* deep silence*
She was looking at him expressionless (actually she was trying not to laugh)
“Man! I asked you for your real life not your invented storybook!!” she busted in laughter almost falling from her chair
“So, you don’t believe me”
“of course not” she laughed “I mean, you’re actually telling me that you’re an alien?” she laughed even harder
“I’m not an alien” he said disgusted “I’m a guardian”
“I think you need help dude, nobody can live that long”
“What can I do so you can believe me?”
“Do you have powers?” she asked
“Yes”
She bit her lips for not to laugh, Great! She was stuck with a crazy hot man.
“Right, levitate this table, turn on the T.V. and turn on the heat cuz I’m cold and—” she stopped in mid sentence; actually everything that she was saying was happening, the table began to lift itself, the T.V turned on and the air got warmer. She looked at him frightened; he had his penetrating eyes fixed on her own. She gulped. For a moment she thought that he could read her thoughts and see through her very soul, but suddenly he glanced away from her and everything came back to normality. The table was on its place again, the T.V. was off and the air got cooler again. She gasped and stood up knocking the chair down. She walked away from him, with a look of horror on her face
“Lynn, I’m not going to hurt you” he said standing up
“Stay there!” she yelled
“The wounds are gone!!” she stood up from the bed
“What wounds?” he asked
“Don’t you dare to play dumb with me, now tell me what’s happening!!!”
“I’m going to buy some food” he began to turn around
