BACK IN HER ROOM***
*
Her body was shaking continually, Raymond tried calming her down but it was becoming more like a convulsing movement.
Her eyelids were moving but they didn’t open, and she was bleeding from her both nostrils.
Then suddenly, every thing in the room were flying, like the earth had just lose its gravity. He was scared, and confused at the same time.
“Dora, talk to me, what’s the problem? Wake up! I mean… you’re freaking me out! Come on, come on, just wake the fu*k… ”
She jerked up with a loud scream, and everything began to fall to the ground. Even Raymond who tried protecting her from the objects was thrown off the bed to the door.
When Theodora calmed down, all his ears could hear was a siren alarm ringing bells. “Jesus Christ.” He groaned, standing to his feet.
He walks back to the bed to hold Theodora who was silently weeping, holding her chest. And the way he was watching her, the guilt stained her heart.
“I’m sorry, Ray. I am so sorry.” She apologized.
He couldn’t say a word because he was still in the nest of confusion, and she apologizing was only making matter a bit worst.
“I don’t understand, Dora, what are you sorry for?” He asked.
“I… I…” She wipes off the blood from her nose. “for not telling you this earlier.”
“It’s nothing. Wh@tëver that happened wasn’t your fault, it just happened.” He tried consoling her.
” No, it was I. ”
” What? ”
” Yesterday… I mean early this morning I… I discovered my power and… and I think that’s the same thing that happened to me now. The nightmare and the vision, I think it was designed to awaken the other part of my power.
I can…” She swallowed. ” I can destroy and I can save. I can control things with my mind and also by just looking at them. I see vision of things yet to come and… I scream.”
” All this? ”
” I don’t know what I am but, it’s complicated.” She looked around the now scattered room, it looks messed up and untidy.
Everything were damaged and out of repair. “I’m sorry for everything.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll order for new ones tomorrow.”
“Thank you.”
” Do you always have to bleed after using your powers? “He asked.
She shrugged. ” Everytime I use it, it’s like a part of me has been drained off.”
” We need to do something about your condition, for now no one has to learn about this. But hold on, you’re the one who confused the guards with those plastic statues, weren’t you? ”
” I… honestly, I did wanted to let you know last night but… you looked stressed out.”
Poor Theodora had thought the effect of her scream had only ended in their room, but to her greatest surprise and likewise his, almost all the castle windows were off their shelves.
Some maids and servants had gotten injured in the incident. Theodora was more than concern, this wasn’t as she expected.
“Let what happened last night remain with last night. Like I told you, no one has to know it was you who did this, okay?”
” What if I see a different vision, you know we can’t control things from the other dimension. ”
” What dimension?”
” It’s what brought about my gift, the evil yet to happen. ”
” Tell me something I don’t know. What is about to happen?” He asked again.
” You remember Sophie, the Bîtch who almost got you to sleep with her?”
” Yes, I do.”
” She’s the evil. And very soon, this fortress will be turned upside down. And you too, I’m scared of what it says about you.”
” What did it say about me?” He asked, curiously.
” She’s gonna take you away from me, and when she does that, she’s gonna have me poisoned to death.”
Holds her hands. ” Since she isn’t after you alone, then that means you aren’t alone. If she’s gonna kill you, then she better kill the both of us.”

NIGHT***
*
They both sat on the bed, sitting face to face to each other. “So can you see through the other dimension and check for the date when Sophie will show up?” He asked.
” I can try.”
” Okay. So, what do you need for the teleportation?” He asked.
” I just need you to do me a favour.”
“What favour?” He asked, handing over the hair ribbon to her.
She tied the ribbon around her eyes. ” Of shutting up.”
She found herself back in the multi universe, then in the fortress of her dream. “Where are you now?”
“I’m in the fortress.”
“Do you see anything?”
“No. Where am I supposed to find a date? ”
” Our room.”
She went to their room, searching for a calendar. She found it where it was hung beside the wall clock. “I see it.” She informed.
“What’s the date?”
” You can’t expect me to tell the date from here when I don’t even know what today is.” She complained.
” Look at the alarm clock. What did it say?”
She checked on the day on the alarm clock; Thursday October. ” Thursday, October. How will this help?”
She checked on the calendar, ” This is crazy, Ray.”
” It’s not, you just have to focus, okay. ”
Then she went to the alarm clock, studying the time and date. She smiled. “I found it. I found it.” She exclaimed, taking off the ribbon from her eyes.
She wipes off her nose. “14th October, 2026. That’s barely three weeks from now.”
