chapter 4

Rebecca's pov

"Sarah!?" I shouted walking around the house. Everywhere was dark and quiet like the last time I had this dream.

Yes it's a dream and I know because I've had it multiple times before but I never seem to understand it or get to the end

"advshbeidygfkofusvb" I heard someone chanting something with a very low voice.

"Not this again..!" I whisper and go into the familiar room

"Hello.. Who are you?"I said squating before the young man

"teuibddhkhfdyhh"

"Do you need help?"

He raised his head and grabbed my hands forcefully, drawing me closer to him

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry I couldn't save her" he said hurriedly grabbing my skirt and apologizing

Gasp!

"So that's what he's been saying!?..*

I looked around for something to defend myself with just in case…

I had ran the first three times he tried to approach me, but today I decided to find out what he was apologizing for

"it's ok. It wasn't your fault." I said taking his hands. He calmed down as soon as he heard that

"Tell me, who couldn't you save?"I asked still holding his hands

"Sarah, my wife Sarah... She was trying to protect.."

"What!? Where is she now!? Is she okay!?" I asked in panic

"Yeah, she's somewhere inside the house. But I can't face her not now, can she ever forgive me..?"

His last words were faint as I rushed out of the room that I now noticed looked like a nursery

After checkeing every single place inside the house and couldn't find her, I went to the backyard. Right now as I stand in front of the pool, I begin to console myself that no matter the outcome, this is still just one of my visions that can be averted

"Sarah!" I resume shouting after calming myself a bit.

"Sarah where are you!?" I shouted looking around just incase she's pops out from somewhere. She might currently be lying in a pool of blood waiting for someone to …

No! I can't think about that yet. This is the farthest I've gone in this vision and I must stay till the end

"Becca? Is that you?"

Hearing that voice again felt like breath filling up my lungs after being underwater for a long time

"Sarah" I said turning to towards the garden where I heard the voice come from

"Sis are you ok?" I asked moving towards the garden quickly using my hand to remove the orange branches on the way

"Yeah I am but you need to wake up"

"What?" I stopped confused

"It's a dream Becca, you need to wake up! Wake uuup!" She answered

"Huh!?" I said raising my body from the bed a little.

I looked up to find Sarah sitting on my bed with half anger and half concern on her face

"Are you alright!? You kept screaming my name"

"I'm fine, thank you"I said still a bit muddle headed

"Same dream!?" She asked, apparently noticing my condition

"Yeah" I answered

"But this seems like it was more intense" she said getting from the bed so I could find space to stretch and get up.

"Yeah. I was able to see his face finally" I said as I grabbed my pink sweater from my dressing chair

"Who's face?" she asked. She joined me at the table and started helping me comb my hair.

"Your husband's" I answered

"What? How are you even sure it's him?"

I shrudged.

"I'm not totally sure, but if it's the same person I'll know" I said. I always kinda knew the people involved in my visions; good or bad. But this time, I definitely knew who he was.

"And how exactly would you know that?" She asked irritated and unconvinced

"The guy and I went to the same highschool. We even did a group project together, so yes I'll definitely recognize him when I see him"

"So... did you guys like date or fall in love during the project?" She asked rasing her brows at me

"Ugh! Is that all you ever think about? And No!.. we were just in the same group. We didn't even talk much in school ok?" I said

"And falling in love during projects is definitely too cliche for me" I concluded rolling my eyes

"Ok, if you say so."

"Oh! I'm totally screwed, I forgot I brought someone over. there's someone I'll like for to meet. I've been planning this for a while now but wedding preparations aren't exactly going to happen by themselves" she said fixing whatever she thought wasn't in place

"Dude, you're going to put a hole in my sweater if you don't stop poking me."

"And are you really sure you want to my this guy? From what I've heard you say so far, he seems out of ya league" I asked hoping that this was going to be the last person that my cousin would introduce me to as her future husband

"Yeah. I mean he's sweet, caring, romantic, quiet and strict too, maybe a little too strict if you asked me"

"And are you ok with that? Cause once you're married there's no going back" I reminded

Our mothers are sisters meaning that we have similar family values. And one of those is not casually separating from or divorcing your spouse without the approval of the family.

"Yes I'm positive. I don't know but something makes feel like he's the right person you know?"

"Is that a trick question or something?" I asked a bit offended that she'll ask me that

"Well I'm not the one who asked you to remain single and loveless" she quirked back

"But you know I'm .."

"Yes yes. You are waiting to see your husband in one of your visions. That's your business but I can't keep my darling waiting anymore so come on"

I was still a bit mad that she was mocking my decision. It's the reason I had to get my own apartment despite having a very comfortable family house to live in.

No one seems to understand my plight. The vision/ dreams I get always help when making major decisions I'm yet to see any future with a man that could possibly be my husband in it.

"Becca?"

I heard my name and looked up

Gasp!

"What! What's wrong?"

"Well! well! Look who we have here. It's nice to see you again Rebecca" he said smiling with suprise in his eyes

"Thomas!?" I asked as fear gripped me

"You remember my name, that's wonderful! Sarah you didn't tell me you knew her" he said turning towards her, smiling

"I didn't know you knew her. Wait a minute! Is he the person you were talking about? The um.. man in the dreams you've been having?"

"Yes" I said staring at him

"Oh my God! I knew it" Sarah beamed at him but he only looked more confused

"You still have those? I thought it was a mean joke spread by those mean girls in highschool?" Thomasasked

I'm thorn between being happy that he doesn't believe every single thing he hears and being angry at him for tying to make me a liar. Also the fact that he's Sarah's future husband that might do something bad to her, makes me more reluctant to accept him.

"Hey sarah, can I have a word with you? Please?"

"What!? No! No matter what you say we can sort it out right? I can't leave him!"

Sarah said holding on to him

"uhh.. What's going on?" Thomas asked confused but there's no time for explanations now. I need to tell Sarah the whole vision so she can understand

"Thomas, will you like anything to eat or drink?" I asked

"Um, sure" he answered knowing that was my cue for him to excuse us.

Smart boy.

"Then can you please help yourself to the snacks on the dining? We will join you soon"

"Becca you can't do that, he's a guest!" Sarah said angry

"It's alright love. I'll leave you two to talk" he rubbed her hair and walked to the dining room

"That was really rude you know.." Sarah said

"I'll apologize later, but this is more important" I say to her

"I really hope so Becca! For your sake I hope it is..." she said marching back to my room.

Ugh! She's such a drama queen! I know it was a little impolite to chase him away like that but, this stuff is sensitive and I need her to decide if he should hear about it or not because he looked really hurt in that vision. That's why I didn't just say it in his presence even though he's also involved in this. So, he should wait there while I try to reason with his dramatic girlfriend.
