Chapter four:bad dreams

Vic pov

I go downstairs but before I open the door I realize I am only wearing a big shirt to my mid-thigh and some of my underwear that looks like boxers. I blush and open the door to see the man from Nora's house and Nora, the man is the one she punched in the face. Nora looks me up and down when she sees I opened the door. she rushes me inside and leaves the man outside. " love please go and put some pants on, I cant have Mika see you like this". I don't know what causes me to say so it but I do and blush as I say it. "why? you don't like what you see"? she lets a growl out and I jump when she sees me jump she calms down. I wonder how she can growl like an animal like does it bother her throat?" I do but no one should see you like this but me. now go." I don't waste any time and go and get some pants on this time. when I get back Nora and her friend Mika are in my living room. Mika is sitting in a chair while Nora is standing by our fireplace with arms crossed. "tells us what happened" I recounted what happened to them right down to my bad dream. " looks like we going to have to stay here to watch you guys better."

A few minutes later

I carry a blanket and pillow for Mika"I am so sorry you have to sleep on the couch." he takes them from me and says"luna don't worry about me." he stops and looks worried and I look at him confused, Mika is a big man with tattoos and a man bun but how he sounds he could be a big teddy bear" luna? that's a nickname?" he sighs in what seems to be relief." its an Irish thing"

I just decide to let it go for now and go find Nora. I find her looking around our kitchen." I am so sorry I woke you guys up so late."

she looks down at me for a few minutes and sighs" I am sorry for yelling at you love, I just didn't want him to see you like that." I know I shouldn't act like this but with Nora, I can't help it." like what?" she smiles and walks up to me and puts her hands on my hips."hm all sexy and tired." I roll my eyes and blush and say "what's wrong with him seeing me like that?" I somehow knew that would get her going. she growls which I heard her do a few times before but I don't think to pay any mind to it.

"you know why." I look at her closely and notice that her eyes changed colors. they changed from green to black, I don't say anything about it. I just look her in her eyes trying to read her." no I really don't please tell me." I watch her eyes go back from black to green." well because you are mine."

my eyes widen in shock "oh really?" she lets my hips go and backs off."you will be after our first date." I laugh as I sit at our kitchen island" so confident." she sighs as she looks at my leg.

I see the worry in her eyes as she knees down in front of me to look at my leg." can I check it? does it still hurt?" I let her grab my leg and she unwraps it and we look at it to see it's already healed." what the- the bite mark is gone." she looks at it." you must have good healing from being a demi-god."

sighing I look at her"so hades are my father?" she laughs loudly and grabs my hand." oh yeah he's not happy about our date and he threatens Mika to" my eyes widen at that" but Mika just a teddy bear. why would he hurt him?"

"love I will tell you one day but not today now you need to go to bed for school."

Later on

Nora Pov

I sit in a chair by the window in Vic's room wide awake listening for any sound. just thinking about how happy I am I was already in the woods behind the yard when she called me. I had fallen asleep while I was keeping watch over the house but I didn't see or hear the red-haired man when he was here, which worries me.

I didn't want her to know I was already here so I called Mika and waited for him before I knocked on the door.

Vic lets a whimper out as she tosses and turns. but then she does something I will never forget she screams a bone-chilling scream. I jump up and go over to her to see her crying." babe it's ok. wake up I am right here."

Vic dream

I am standing in a beautiful field to start off with but then it gets dark and the red-haired man is standing in front of me both of his hands holding my arms. he smiles a sinister smile as I fight against him he shakes me to try to get me to stop fighting."oh little sis it's about time you learn about our father." I look at him confused." what are you talking about. our father?" he jerks my arms in an attempt to calm me down."oh sister you have a lot to learn."

before I wake up I see the bruises on my arms.

End of dream

I jerk awake and look around scared until I feel the tingles on my arms and I am pulled into an embrace." it's ok love I am here." I try to calm my breathing as I have my face in her shoulder. Nora runs her fingers through my hair until I am calm down. after a few minutes, I pull away and wipe my tears."h-he called me his sister. i-i don't have a brother."

Nora looks at me confused until her eyes widen in shock."did I do that?! oh my god! I am so sorry!"

she goes to move away but I stop her by grabbing her hand. she stops when she feels the tingles at least I hope she can feel them too. I hope I am not going crazy. "oh no it wasn't you. it has to be from him." she looks at me and sits back down on the bed." who the red-haired man?"

I sigh as I look at her again." he was in my dream. he grab me and wouldn't let go. he called me his little sister. he also told me I need to know the truth about our father." as I relay the dream to Nora, I start to not feel so good so I start to rub at my arms." so you have an older brother we don't know about?"

as she speaks I zone out and look at my bathroom doorway where I see a little seven-year-old pale boy with blue lips and black hair wearing old victorian clothes. I start to rub at my neck because it starts to hurt. I and the little boy stares at each other until I start to lose my breath.

Nora pov

All of a sudden vic grabs her own neck and starts rubbing it until it's red and then I really get worried when she starts having trouble breathing. I start yelling her name and grab her hand to keep her from hurting herself. after a few minutes, she seems to have snapped out of it." love are you ok? what happened?" she starts crying and pulls me into a tight hold while looking at the bathroom. I put one hand on the back of her head." shhh shh I am here." I rock her back to back until she is asleep. I just hold her for the rest of the night.

the next morning

I jump awake to find the bed empty and vis is gone. freaking out I jump out of bed and go looking for her. I can't help but notice how big the house is when I go to the kitchen. the house is a two-story old victorian house. I also notice there is a lot of old decor in the house.

when I finally reach the kitchen I see my beautiful mate standing in front of the big window looking out towards the woods. she is wearing a long sleeve shirt and sweat pants. her red curly hair is up into a messy bun. I walk up behind her and see her holding a cup of coffee. after a few minutes I speak" are you ok love? you look so tired." she just hums and leans back into my arms she seems to be watching something outside.

"Are there any ghosts around right now?" I haven't asked her about what happened last night. I decided she would tell me when she was ready to. after a few she says"there are some kids from the 1800s playing outside." I try to see what she sees but after I cant I sigh." oh ok. why didn't you wake me up for school?" she turns around in my arms and I see the dark circles under her eyes try to control my old when she says"babe I was up all night with nightmares and you were by my side."

my eyes widen when she takes a sip of her coffee." oh yeah. we had a rough night." she lets a hum out and walks over to the kitchen island and I miss her in my arms." I need to speak to my father. last night was scary." I look at her closely and can just see how tired she is."I know love but we have to wait on him to come back."

Vic pov

I can't express how tired I am from all of the nightmares, so I decided it was best to stay home for the day but of course, my sisters wanted to still go." we can't wait for him nora. a ghost tried to harm me last night. w-what if he killed?" I make eye contact with her as I try not to think about it.

Nora pov

"love-"I go to say but my phone rings.

I look to vic to see if it's ok for me to answer it."go and answer it. it might be important." I answer it but not before thinking how nothing is more important than her." hello?" I answer as I am looking at Vic who is blushing." how is my ik`opn you"(my daughter)

sighing I take a seat at the island so I can keep an eye on Vic." oh it's good to talk to you to hades. I am guessing that's daughter in geek?" as I speak vic perks up and walks over to where I am sitting." well no crap. now tell me how is she doing?"

I put the phone on speaker so Vic can hear him." oh yeah she is. but listen we need you to get back soon a ghost tried to harm her last night." we hear him growl before he speaks"I will find this ghost and deal with it. is she ok?"Vic looks shocked." she is ok for now but there is something else." we hear him sigh"ok what is it." you can tell he is getting annoyed, I can imagine him rubbing his forehead." well before you go off I didn't tell her but she knows about you." he growls again"you had two jobs keep her safe and to not tell her and what do you do?"

Vic is now looking annoyed too and says" oh shut up it's not like she can stop me from my powers awakening." I use my hand that's not holding the phone to hold her hand." oh god you are my daughter. you have my attitude." I squeeze her hand for comfort as she speaks"you have a lot to do to gain my trust." he goes quiet for a few minutes and speaks"I know I do blkjw`ia(Victoria) listen I will be there tomorrow afternoon. I will see you soon." he hung up.
