Soulmate-2 by hima (best novels to read .TXT) 📕

"Rose, wake up." Helen dragged my covers.
I pushed away her hands and closed my eyes shut not wanting to wake up. Ever since the bracelet was tied around my hand, I have become a heavy sleeper.It's like all these years of sleeplessness was now being fulfilled.
"Come on, Rose. Something bad has happened. They are calling us to the hall."
"Now,what?" I said stifling a yawn.
"Come on,sleepy head." she said urging me to pull my jacket on.
As I pushed open our room door. I was bewildered by what I saw. People were running hither tither all over the corridor. I spotted Nancy,one of my classmates for life skills.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know but they are hurrying us to the main hall. Come on let's go." she said.
We reached the hall.There's lot of murmuring going on, I could see the same confused expressions on each face.
"Rose.." Jesse came over to me hugging me lightly.
"What happened?" I murmured.
Andy,kenny,Ronny joined us along with Jesse friends.
"I don't know some security breach as far as I know." he said.
"What? Is everything alright?" I asked.
"Not everyone."
"What do you mean?" We screamed.
Jesse shifted his gaze uncomfortably towards the dome. I could feel that this is something really bad. I followed his gaze, I couldn't take my eyes away from what I have seen.
"This is going to get worse.She is our only hope." It stated.
"What was that?"Helen shrieked.
Jesse shrugged his shoulders.
"Well someone should ask Mr.Dom, what he meant by that." Ronny stated.
"We can't." Jesse said.
"If we can't may be our teachers have to try. What does he think he is doing?"
"Ronny, I don't think even teachers can ask him that." I said.
"Why not?"
"Because he is gone." Sam said joining us.
"Is he dead?" Helen asked.
"May not be." he said shrugging his shoulders.
"Would someone care to explain what's going on?" Alexis said pulling her hood closer to protect from the chill.
Alexis is from the trackers team. We have same hours for simple combats. She has become a good friend of mine since the past few weeks.
"Mr.Dom is gone."
"What??? How did you know that?" she cried.
"Every time we have a question in our mind. He answers us right? He won't answer any of my questions now. Try for yourself." I said.
I could see her thinking of what to ask but by the time she saw the writings on the dome,she gasped for breath.
"What the hell is that?" she asked staring at the dome.
By this time most people heard her voice and started to look at her and when they saw her. They gazed unconscious towards the dome. At once there is an outburst of huge intake of breath.
Seriously, this people are so stupid. Didn't they notice this until now? Then I remembered how I saw at the dome,it's only when Jesse gestured me to see it.
May be our thinking process is of not much help when we are scared about something. I looked at Jesse to see whether he accepts my theory. He winked at me and nodded.
"What do we do now?" I asked.
"Have to stay here until they figure out that everyone is safe other than Mr.Dom." Jesse said.
"Leads, Harry is expecting you in his room." Someone announced.
"That's Mr.Quirrel, got to go." he said.
"I'll walk you to the room." I said.
I need to talk with you I thought so that Jesse could hear it.
He nodded and I followed him. Others were deep in conversation to notice me leaving.
I stayed outside Harry's room when they went in. I strolled aimlessly looking at the vast stretch of ground. Something caught my attention when I looked at the far away bushes at the east end of the wall, someone with a dark cloak moved behind the bushes. I ran the flight of steps and slowed down a bit while I neared.Took a deep breath,slowly and secretly I walked to the place where I saw the moment.
I could see the back of a person. He is almost as tall as giant, he was wearing black cloak that covered his entire body like the person in my dreams. The thought itself sent shivers all over my body.
What if he is the same person? What if he is here to kill me as he always tries to do in my dreams.Unconsciously I moved closer to see what he is up to but that was really a bad move. I stepped on the dried and crunchy leaves making horrible sound. The hooded figure turned towards me. I raised my eyes to meet his I couldn't see anything,the hood covered him well. I tried to move away from him but got tangled by the creeper and fell down. The hooded figure made a weird sound and took a step forward. The sound that escaped from him was more like a growl. My heart pounded against my chest, it's like in few minutes it will break through it and fall in my laps. I tried to scream but nothing escaped my lips.
I uttered my last prayer hoping it wouldn't be a brutal death. I closed my eyes picturing every person I like most. When I saw Jesse I mouthed I love you to him.
I could feel the warm breath of the person as he moved closer to me. He is away from me by inches. I closed my eyes really hard not wanting to see what's under the hood.
A sudden gust of wind blew over me throwing away the creature from me.It let out a loud howl as if it is hurt. I opened my eyes to see that the cloaked person running away into the forest.
Jesse came running towards me, now I understood where the wind has come from.
"Are you hurt?" he asked.
He hugged me tightly and released me checking for any bruises.
"I think he is hurt." I said staring into the forest into which the cloaked person ran.
"Are you okay? really."
"Yes,I am fine."I said still staring into the woods.
May be he is really hurt,He yelped with pain when he ran into the forest. Will someone be there to heal him? I thought. I don't know why I'm even thinking about him. Something is strange about him.Though he looks like the same person from my dreams.I didn't feel the fear I usually have when I see him. My train of thoughts were interrupted by Jesse laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You,of course."
I frowned at him.
"I'm sorry but you are worried about the person who tried to kill you." he said.
"He didn't try to kill me." I said as a matter of fact.
"I should have waited until he hit you." he said trying to reason me.
"Jesse, come on.The spell is unfinished." Sam called from the upstairs.
"Hey,gotta go.You stay with your friends.Until I come back." he said.
He saw me to the main hall and hurried towards the Harry's room.
I guess everyone saw the huge drama that happened here.
"Rose, what do you think you are doing?Going all alone." Helen shrieked at me.
Each of my friends started on me. I didn't dare to reply.
"Attention everyone." Ms.Harriet called.
Thank her! I thought.
"The problem is resolved for now. You may move into you rooms but I advice you not to go alone anywhere outside into the grounds.I could feel her gaze directed towards me.As if she meant that particular instruction for me alone.
Jesse and his friends joined us meanwhile.Ms.Harriet said that the classwork is suspended for the rest of the day as there are some things to be taken care of.
I invited my friends to our room so that we can discuss the matter at hand,I'm pretty sure everyone was dying to say their theories about the whole thing.
"What did you do in Harry's room?" I asked.
"Performed a protection spell for the building."
"Aren't you just a student?" I asked.
Why would they ask them to do? When there are many magical beings here.After all they are students,right?
Jesse flinched at the question. I could see him fighting to hide something from me.
"The spell requires the blood of all magical beings." he said curtly.
There is something he is keeping away from me and what would that be?


"What do you think happened?" Helen said sitting beside Andy.
"About what?" I asked.
"You,idiot.About the attack on you and about Mr.Dom." Helen shrieked.
I narrated everything right from going with Jesse. They listened intently.
"Did you see him?" Helen asked.
"No but I guess I know who it is."
I could see everyone is expecting me to say something.
"It's the person from my dreams, the one who tries to kill me." I added.
I heard gasps from everyone.I could see the shock and concern filled in their eyes.Jesse was the one to recover from it.
"Are you sure that it's the same person?"he asked.
"He is wearing the same cloak. He is about the same height."
"You never saw him so he may not be the one."
"Jesse,I didn't even see the face of the person in my dreams." I stated.
"It might not be the same person."he said.
"Yeah! but who will roam around in dark cloaks these days and of that gigantic height?"
"She's right." Helen said.
Everyone nodded. Jesse sighed. Apparently he knows something that he doesn't want to share with us.
"Do you think Mr.Dom is dead?" Andy spoke for the first time.
We were lost in deep thought thinking about him. I was seated between Alexis and Jesse. Alexis went rigid at once. She grabbed my hands tightly and stared deep into my eyes. Her grip was so strong that I couldn't loosen her hand. She was ghost like when she spoke her voice was distant. It's as if someone spoke through her.
"He is safe in the darkest places of the earth where sun wouldn't reach, He'll show you the way soon but know this girl no earthling has ever entered and left that place alive."
I started to cry not for the rubbish she was talking but by the lead grip she was having on my hands.
Jesse shook her but she wouldn't shift her gaze from me.
"Jesse, do something she is hurting her." Kenny shrieked.
Jesse placed his hands over the temples of Alexis and muttered something under his breath. Her grip loosened, she fell on the bed.
"Will she be fine?"I said rubbing my wrists where she caught me.
Jesse saw the marks of her fingers on my hands. "Is there something to apply for it?" he asked.
Helen fished through her drawers and brought some
