Chapter 10: A Hint or A Nightmare

"You're fine now," Ash said calmly while walking down the stairs

"Yeah... You know me" I answered and he take the seat next to me

"Your body's fine now, though your bruises won't fade that easily," He said and check my face

"Is it that so bad?" I asked and look at the window since it's heavy tinted it can show some reflection

"Don't worry you're still beautiful though," He said and ruffled my hair "Did you already take your antidote?" He asked

"Yeah cause if I didn't we all know what would happen" I answered and he look down

"I'm sorry..." he suddenly said "You will not be in this situation... if you didn't save me" he added and I smiled

"It's fine, look what it brought us... A friendship that will last" I said and stand up

"You better sleep, it's not always every day that we'll be able to sleep tight," I said and walk upstairs

I go back to my bed and go back to sleep...

"Eva... Eva..." Someone keeps calling my name

"Who's there?!" I answered back though I can't see anything

Everything is black and there's only a small hint of light.

"Eva... Eva... You can't be here, You're not supposed to be here..." A woman's voice said

"What do you mean?! Where am I?!" I asked and I feel chill all over my body

"I am you Eva and you are me. You're the only person that can make the Demon King fall and stop their wrongdoings. I already give you the power to travel through time and dimensions a long time ago" A voice of a woman said

"What do you mean!? I can't even see you, it's so dark here" I answered back

"You have to defeat the current Demon King for all of this madness to stop," she said and I don't pick up whatever she says

"How am I be able to do that!?" I inquire "You have been haunting my dreams since I was a child, why do you keep appearing?" I added

"Follow me, Eva..." The voice said and a small hint of light appear

"Where are we going?" I asked and suddenly the surroundings change into the underworld

"What are we doing here?!" I whispered and saw a very beautiful woman

She was given 12 seeds.

"Is that a pomegranate seed?" I asked

The woman eats half of the seeds and then the surrounding again changed. She met with her mother.

"Pomegranate seeds were considered a symbol of death and fertility. I ate half of it and that is the months that I keep going back to the underworld."

"So why does that link to me!? I didn't even eat pomegranate and I never even tasted one!" I said getting frustrated about why am I being linked to this d*mn thing

"You already know what pomegranate tastes like, Think about it Eva, I already give you the power to travel to a different dimension. It's up to you how you will learn everything. It will be better if you will see who the Demon King is as of this moment" she said and again disappear

"You need to wake up now Eva... You need to wake up... YOU NEED TO WAKE UP!" A man's voice repeatedly said and a man holding a woman's body with a snake bite on her legs appears in front of me

I suddenly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Zeke and I'm strangling him.

"Eva! Thank God you woke up!" Zeke said and hugged me

"Ze-Zeke" is all I can say then I feel a very agonizing pain in my lower back "F*ck!" I yelled and Zeke looked at me worried

"I'll call Ash and Dean," he said and immediately run downstairs

I touch the part of my lower back and it was sticky wet. I look at my hands and it was covered with blood. My body shivers and my body feels heavy.

"Eva! Is there anyth-" before Ash could finish his sentence he already saw my hands

"You-you're bleeding! I'll get my supply, " Dean said and immediately go downstairs

Ash instructed me to lay on my stomach so he can examine my lower back. After a few seconds, Dean came back with his medical supplies. They wear their gloves and check my lower back. Once their hands touch my skin, they immediately retreated and touch my forehead.

"You're burning with fever," Ash said and I feel drowsy

"That's weird, we stitched this wound earlier but now, there is no even mark of any medical threads. Unfortunately, We don't have any anesthesia, it looks like there's still a small shard of glass left on your back. Unfortunately, you need to hold the pain for a while, for us to be able to treat it" Dean said worried visible in his eyes

"How many unfortunately are you planning to say?" I asked annoyed and he looked down

"Sorry, I'm afraid you can't handle the pain" He said and I felt guilty 

"Just do it, I'll try to hold back" I ordered and bury my head in the pillow

They start to treat my back and one of the cold metal touches my skin, I shiver and once they removed the small shard of glass, I release a scream. I can't help but cry and my lower back feels numb while they're stitching the wound.

After they were done, They made me take some medicine to lower my fever and for the wound to heal faster.

"Citi, drive to Sahara dessert" I instructed and the bus engine started

Zeke came back and just stare at me.

"I-I'm sorry," I said and look at his neck still having marks

"It's okay, though you keep calling someone's name," he said and I look at him but he avoided my gaze

"Who is it?" I inquired

"You keep calling... his name," he said still avoiding my gaze

"I don't understand," I said and frown

"You keep calling your ex's name" he finally said which made me shut my mouth

"What? I didn't even dream about him. I keep dreaming of the same nightmare since I was a child with my... Mo-mom always shows in the end... Lifeless" I said and look down

"Maybe I heard it wrong, you should take a rest more," he said and covered me with a blanket

Citi started driving by itself and I feel so drained that once my eyes blink, I drifted back to sleep.
