Finding The Divine (An MCD Fan Fiction)

Chap. 32 ~ Failed Attempt

"Haha... Katelyn!" Aphmau says.

"What? I'm not sorry for anything." Katelyn replies. "Look, it's been a long night and I'm tired."

"There are beds upstairs. Feel free to use one of those if you like." Garroth says.

"Don't have to tell me twice." Katelyn says.

"I haven't sleep since Garroth came back so, I'm also gonna go sleep." I say trying to avoid the name Aaron.

Katelyn and I both head upstairs and find a bed each to sleep on.

~~~~~~//~~~~~~

To Anna's left is where Aphmau slept and to her left is where Katelyn slept, on the other side of Aphmau's bed lays Garroth, who is the only one still asleep. Aphmau and Katelyn are downstairs.

Sweat drips down my face as I burst awake from my sleep. My breath is heavy and my heart is pounding. I haven't had a nightmare in... over 20 years... Why am I having one now?

"Aaron..." I mutter, sitting up from my bed.

Moments later, Garroth reenacts the same scene I just performed, as if he also had a nightmare.

"Are you ok?" I ask.

"Yea... I just..."

"Had a nightmare?" I ask.

"Yeah..." Garroth replies.

"About what?"

"The moments after I returned from the Irene dimension... When Aaron killed Zane..."

"Uh-" I loose my breath for a moment.

"Sorry! I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said that." Garroth says."

"No, it's fine... Do you know why you had that dream? Because... I had the same dream..."

"How could you have that dream? You weren't even there..."

"Actually... I was... I was at the portal, looking for Aaron and... I saw the whole event. Only... My dream was from your perspective... Once Zane died... Something resembling what Hyria once described to me..." I stammer.

"Yeah... Same... Do you think this dream has any meaning?" Garroth asks.

"Yes. I know it does."

"What was that thing?"

"I have an idea but I don't want to lead you astray so... I'm not going to say unless I know for sure." I reply. "You should talk to Aphmau about this... I'll be down in a little while."

"Alright." Garroth says, he wipes away the sweat and heads downstairs.

"I... Uhh... I don't feel so well right now... Everyone's probably hungry... I'm not sure if there would even be any food in this place... It's been abandoned for 20 years..." I mutter to myself. I should probably head back downstairs. I get up off my bed and walk towards the stairs, but fall, after gaining a dizzy spell. "Gah!"

After a few minutes, I regain my composure and stand up, feeling a little nauseous. As I walk closer to the stair I can hear Garroth talking. I walk downstairs to be able to hear what he is saying better. I openly walk out into the 'kitchen / dinning' area so they don't catch me potentially eaves dropping with out them knowing.

"In any case, what's our next course of action?" Garroth asks.

They're talking strategy... At least this isn't a personal conversation, so it doesn't matter if I listen in or not.

"Well, I think we should stake out at Zane's house." Aphmau says.

"...Go to Zane's house again? But... I thought you said there was no more information for us back there." Garroth replies.
