Chapter one:I called?
A single voice coming to me in my dreams,whispering my name as I wondered the dark musty forest, made me aware that it was the same as allways.I had the same dream since I was nine and my mother was killed.It was a strange dream,a building nightmare really.I was wondering around a beautiful forest filled with lightning bugs and a huge oval moon that shined so brightly that i could squint my eyes if i looked up.
The voice that came to me allways came,I called him Draven,thats what he sounds like.
"Ember."He whispered again.I felt a slight breeze and I whirled around stunned.There he was,my beautiful nightmare.His pitch black eyes were dark with desire,his black long hair was lifting in the wind.He was wearing all black and looked pale even in the dark forest.I narrowed my blue eyes.
"What do you want Draven?"I asked.He laughed and the sound made shivers go upmy spine.
"You called me my Mivia,my love."He answered using his name for me.Mivia,which means,my love.
"How did I call you?I was simply walking-"
"Then you called me.You yelled Draven and started searching for me my Mivia."He said with a smirk.I whirled away from him and started stalking off.This was not the same dream I had the night before,I thought idly.I could feel the light wind on my knees and bare shoulders.Bare shoulders?I looked down and I was wearing a sleeveless blue dress that matched my ice-blue eyes.It went down to my knees and was cut into a shape of a lily flower.I had on blue flats to match.
"Whoa!"I gasped.I heard a chuckle right behind me.I turned around again.He was smirking still but with more amusment.
"Oh Mivia,im thinking you like the gift that I have given you?"he whispered huskily,then he touched my cheeck with his ice cold hand.I shuddered.
"Well then,im done talking,im hungry so stay still."he said roughly.I didnt realize what he was saying untill he leaned toward my neck,then I screamed and jolted upright in my warm bed.
The first thing I realized was that I was Hot.I glanced over at my clock.5 a.m.I rolled over and looked at the dark blue sky.I knew i would have to get up very soon and I was so excited(and hot)That i got up and got on my laptop.i decided to get on Facebook since I was so bored.I got online and saw a friend request.I opened the tab and almost screamed again.
The friend request was from a guy in my dream.Draven.He was real and in the area!I quickly denied it and tried to calm down.My friend abby was online so i messaged her.
hey,who is draven?
idk, a new boy who just moved into the mansion down the street from me.he`s cute.
ok,can i come over after school today,i need to talk to you..its-important.
...Is it about Draven?
yeah,i had a weird dream about him then I just got on facebook and he had friend requested me.
ah,ok.Well consider yourself coming over.Screw my mama.lol
lol,well im finna go eat and get ready.see u at school.bye
I got offline feeling a little better.If nobody listened,Abby leanne would.I went and got my school uniform and bag of toiletries and prepared to take a shower.I snuck downstairs to find my step-mother and father curled up on the sofa,Jenna was crying.
"Oh,it`s no use Jhon,Ember hates me.Im trying so hard,I know its hard for her but how long can we keep protecting her from the secret.She has to know what really happened between My ex-husband and her mother."She stopped,weeping softly.
"Ember is just confused,I wish she would tell me what is up with her and you.I think that she is just going through the teenage change."Dad said rubbing her arm.
I quietly descended the stairs and when i got to the bottom they were smiling.I flashed them a grin.
"Goodmorning Dad,goodmorning Jenna.I have to tell you something."I said really calmly.They waited anxously.I took a deep breath then continued,"I want to say sorry for being so rude to you Jenna,you have done nothing wrong.Its hard for me,knowing that my Mom would be here if she had not died,I also want to say thankyou for being there for my dad and me when we were having a rough time.Thankyou for helping me.Thankyou."I could not finish,I was close to tears.My eyes were blinded by them.Jenna got up with a cry and rushed to hug me.
"Oh,Ember.To me you are my daughter,i wish I could take back what happened to your mother.I am so happy that you have finally come to terms with what happened.I love you Ember as if you were my real child.I would happily Die for you."She said patting my back.My tears leaked over spilling onto her shirt.
"Jenna,I would like to ask you if i could call you Mom.I really want to."I whispered.
She laughed,"I`ve been waiting for that for years.Of course you can Ember."She said.
Jenna,oops i mean,mom,pulled back and beamed at me.Dad who was quiet untill now crossed the room and kissed my forehead.Ok,that should do it.I know this is wrong but i was lying,i did not want to call her mom,but i knew she was trying,so today i just let her have her day.Dad too.I would have to get used to it.I excused myself to the rest room and they started cooking.I got in the shower and allowed it to warm me.
********************Draven(pov)********************************
My beautiful Mivia,started walking infront of me when i dreamed again.
"Draven?"I heard her call softly.As i walked up behind her she whirled and narrowed her eyes.
"What do you want Draven?"She asked.I tried to keep it together,not to loose control.
"You called me Mivia."I answered smiling.She shook her head in denial.
"No,I was simply walking-"I cut her off.
"Then you called my name and i came."I said honestly.She shuddered and stalked off.I stared at her trying to tame my thirst.Dont attack her!She suddenly looked down and said,"Whoa."Under her breath.I walked up behind her and chuckled she shivered again and whirled around to face me with shock and confusion.I couldn`t bare it any longer.
"Im thinking you like my gift."I said,touching her cheek,"Well,hold still,im hungry."I said.When i got so close to her neck she realized what was happening and screamed,shattering the dream.I opened my eyes unwillingly and realized that I was crying.Ember did not recognize me at all.The thought made me horrified.I had to make her recognize me and fast or she might not ever recognize me.
Ember was my Mivia from another life.We had decided to be reborn again from more than a hundred years ago.We would meet allways when one of us slept.I kept thinking of her as I got ready to see her in person today,for the first time in year i was nervous for the first time in a decade.I would pretend i did not know her.
