Chapter 15: A possibility


Caroline's P.O.V.

I awaken with a gasp of what I just dreamt. This is obviously not a coincidence and sure, Darkness is almost always lying but I'm sure she isn't causing the strange dreams. Dreams are something The Illusionist can take full advantage of with ease. Looking at Will's face I lay my head back onto the pillow staring at him. I just can't stop staring at him and I feel my face heat up and that voice almost similar to mine is shouting in my head... 'FACE THE OTHER WAY AND GO TO SLEEP!' Darkness yells. At first I jump in surprise at how loud she's being but I giggle at her reaction. I think about annoying her some more but karma does eventually come back to exact it's revenge so I decide against pissing her off anymore than she is right now. Even though I have those thoughts I give Will a few glances as I continue to try and look away but I hear her angrily and grumpily growling in my mind. Shoving my head into my pillow I get more comfortable to go to sleep once again. At first I feel like it's going to take a while but my eyelids become heavy before I know it.

Will's P.O.V.

Hours pass and morning arrives though the sky is completely pitch black as it always is. Actually I'm starting to think if I ever do return home I may feel blind and squint my eyes forba while, not even any bright colors here besides purple. I look down at Caroline and I'm happy she's still here with me which makes me feel very safe right now. Suddenly I feel an agonizing pain in my eyes and my sight goes black. I close my eyes and groan im pain but try to be as quiet as possible so I don't wake up Caroline. The pain gets worse and worse and worse as my black vision turns into a shade of purple and there's a flash in my mind of me looking at a full-length mirror with my eyes the same as The Illusionist's eyes. More groans escape my lips till the eyesight is fully back and the pain is gone as if it was never the that weirds me out. Right now I feel very confused and would probably be mumbling questions to myself about what just happened but I certainly don't want to wake up Caroline. I seriously swear all these dreams are visions, the thought of them coming true strikes fear into my soul.

I rub my eyes and get up straightening my shirt because I was probably rolling around in my sleep as I'm sure almost everyone does. Once my shirt is fully straightened I may back in bed not knowing what to do. I could wake up Caroline and tell her I want to go to my room but I don't want to wake her up and I'm already comfortable enough near her anyway. I lay my head on the pillow which is on my side of her bed. Resisting the urge to hug her I just close my eyes not caring about going anywhere else right now but I just want to stay with her. I wonder how everyone in my world feels about me being gone for so long? I want to go back but at the same time I don't want to leave and I highly doubt Caroline will come with me to my world. She would probably feel so out of place, I mean she's a Queen of another realm which I think has been around for three centuries. I'm obviously out of place here too, when I first got here I was constantly coming close to death and probably still will because as far as I know, they hate humans.

The sound of groaning fills my ears and I turn my head around to see it's Caroline who is waking up which fills me with delight. I'm mostly happy she woke up because I can now talk to her but spending time with her may not last long due to her being a busy Queen. "Morning..." Caroline says and yawns once she finishes saying the word. Her hair is pretty messy but no too messy. She gets up and stretches. Caroline walks over to me, grabs my hand and takes me to my room which I find odd. The whole time she walked me there she was being completely silent. A clicking sound is heard at the door which indicates she locked me in and I sigh. Ten minutes pass and she returns wearing a different dress, the reason she brought me here was to change in a different attire which I find understandable but I find it weird that she didn't say anything. What's even more unusual is how she now seems to be avoiding eye contact with me. Even a hint of pink has spread on her cheeks and it fills me with hope but what if it's something else? I hope not but then again, we're just too different.

"You can spend the day with me again if you wish. I'm still busy but you can still be around." Caroline tells me causing me to feel complete joy inside. She exits the room and looks back at me probably expecting me to follow her to which I gladly do. I get so close to her I might as well as be hugging onto her arm and once I realize this, I take one step slightly away to give her some space even though she didn't seem bothered in the slightest. Oddly enough, she's smiling but I choose to think she's just having happy thoughts to herself. 


Caroline's P.O.V.

I'm trying to think of confessing today but I need the perfect moment to do so. It's far too early for that right now due to it being morning but I must do it today or perhaps I never will. He may die tomorrow since if he was by himself he could wander into danger.

As the day goes by I talk to the endermen who definitely give Will odd looks but aren't glaring as strongly as they used to since they should at least be a bit used to him by now. A lot of the day I just do a few tasks not too serious. Getting nervous I think it's about time I confess to Will but don't know how. I'd try to look for Daphnea or Norasha to help me out with this sort of stuff but I don't know where they are right now. My hand grabs onto Will's wrist securely but I'm also being careful not to hold too tightly so I don't hurt him. I lead him to the large room which has a piano in the center. Once I sit down on the piano stool I pat the other half of the part of the piano stool as a way to tell Will to sit with me. Will sits down and I realize how close we are and are heads face eachother's directions in a nervous manner but we're both inching closer as if it's normal. If Dad was still alive and saw me doing this he would be furious.
