Clovers dream

I wake up from my trance and open my eyes. All I can see in front of me is darkness. Not even a creak of light coming from anywhere. My mind tries to come up with where I was last. My bed, just visited my mum for a spell to help me with the night. Olive and Dominic helped me there.

'This is a dream, isn't it.' I think to myself moaning. I move my legs and find out that I'm on a hard floor.

I start to feel my surroundings, tracing my fingers on the surface below me. Its rough, almost like a gravel texture. I pick up a stone beside me and I feel the sharp edges.

I pull myself up onto my feet, still no light in this place that I'm in.

"Hello? Is anyone there?!" I shout towards the blank space. For a moment, all is silent. A pin drop could be heard. Until I hear some muffling of feet behind me. I feel a shiver down my spine and the hair on my neck stand.

"Its ok. We're here." A calming voice says. I refuse to turn around, terrified of what I might see. I can hear not only one person but two people, breathing quickly behind me. One of them seems quicker than the other, like they've just ran a mile.

"Who are you!? Why am I here?!" I scream, still with my back towards the people. My fingers start to shake in fear and my heart rate gets faster and faster.

"Just turn around. You'll know who we are." The other person speaks with a croaked voice. I pause for a moment, deciding to trust these people or not. But I rotate my body round very slowly.

I then come face to face with a man and a woman. The woman has long, jet black hair, scrunched up into a quick ponytail. Her face resembled mine slightly, pale skin but blue ocean eyes, making it the most beautiful feature.

The man has brown, longish hair and a side fringe going along his forehead. Most of it appeared to be in knots and spiked up, needing to be smoothed down. His face was not as pale as the womans but slightly red in the cheeks. His smile was a toothy one, showing all of his teeth but, his eyes however were a bright green colour, hard to miss.

They both had bruises on each of their arms and legs. They looked to be wearing the same clothing, with a badge on their chest. It looked like to be fangs with a shield behind it.

"Hello, Clover. We're your parents." The woman smiles at me, kindly. I look back up to the man and notice the fangs in his smile.

"Mum? Dad? Is it actually you?" I ask approaching them more. They nod their heads and I jump into their arms and cry happy tears. "I've missed you so much!"

"And we've missed you too, Clover. And love you very much" My dad says and squeezes me. But flames erupt around us and my grasp loosens. I look down below and see the flames surrounding my parents feet, slowly getting bigger and bigger.

"We love you Clover. So much. But we have to keep you safe." My mum cries and then throws me away from the flames. I land on the ground and turn back to see the flames engulfing them. They both shout out in pain and I try and get back up on my feet.

"Mum! Dad! No!!!!" I scream running back up to them but my dad throws his hand at me and sends me flying back to
the floor.

"We love you!" I hear them shout and suddenly it goes quiet and I'm the only person in the room. I turn back to where my parents once were but now in their place is a pile of ashes. Tears stream down my face as I realise I've lost my parents for the second time.

I feel like i could cry forever when I hear shouting in the distance. I look up to see a crowd of people running towards me, holding massive fire torches. I scramble to my feet and start to back away from them as they get closer and closer to me.

"Kill the vampire!" i hear them chant and then suddenly someone throws a flame at me and almost burns my skin. They all stop running and starts to throw flames at me. I look towards the crowd of people who are in there and the first person I see is Dominic, screaming at my face.

The next person is Oscar ( Boy who helped her out the closet ) who seems to be at the back pointing a bow and arrow at my face. He releases it and I manage to duck just in time to let it fly over my head.

But suddenly I spot Olive, all the way at the front pointing an arrow at my chest. The whole crowd goes silent and watches her aim at me.

"Please. Don't do it Olive!" I plead at her but she doesn't show any emotion. Except she says,

"You have killed nearly 1\3 of the Powers Village and put everyone else in danger. And its Leader of the Killers, not that weak old name." And then she shoot me in the heart and I topple over onto the ground. My whole vision goes black and I die.

Clovers POV ( Awake now )

i jolt up from my bed, panting. My hair sticks to my forehead, from the sweat and my bed covers are thrown off of the bed. I squeeze myself into a ball and bury my head between my legs. I cry, trying to make it as quiet as I can so I don't wake up anyone. I then hear shuffling from above my bed and then creaks.

I don't move from my position. The ladder jolts as weight gets put on it and I hear someone slowly walking down it. I look up from my knees and Olive is standing beside the ladder, her short blue hair up in a bun. She looks at me worriedly.

"Clover? Are you ok?" She asks me but I refuse to say anything. She sits down on my bed and holds out her hand to me. I lean away from it. For a moment her face looks hurt but then she takes away her hand.

"What was the dream about?" She asks me. I don't reply. But she keeps her distance from me, not making me scared. "Please, Clover. Talk to me." I shake my head in a no and bury my head back in between my knees.

She sighs and I feel her weight coming off from the bed. I hear her walk around the room and close the door. I look up and see the bathroom light on. After a while, Clover comes back with cup in her hand and sits next to me again.

She slowly hands it towards me and and I inspect it. After a while, I reach out and grab it from my grasp. I drink it slowly, knowing that she's watching me. I finish it all and un-wravel my self so I can cross my legs.

I pass her back the cup and she goes to take it but I hold her hand instead and face the palm up to the ceiling.

"Powers." I whisper, nodding at the palm.

"You want to see my powers? Uh ok." She focuses but nothing happens. I gasp and let go of her hand, inching away from her. She looks up at me.

"Its ok. I do have powers." She gets up walks back to the bathroom with the cup. I hear her re-fill it and then she comes back out. She sits on my bed and drinks all the water. I watch her as she hold out her hand. "You ready?" She asks me.

I nod my head. Then a water ball hovers above her palm. I sigh and lie back down on my bed. She gets up and begins to put the covers back over me. "Night Clover. Tell me if you need anything." She says and I hear her go back up to her bed and I fall asleep
