Wide Awake - Academy of the Fallen Series
“And no, aside from what everyone believed, including Kelly, we were not dating. Kelly and Andrew, up to that point, still loved Hunter. They thought he was a great influence on me. Oh, and Ashley had now distanced herself from everyone, and was still denying that Justin had anything to do with her being pregnant. I even felt bad for her. Last I heard her parents were having problems because her dad wanted her to keep the baby, but her mom, well, her mom had a whole different view on the su...bject. It didn’t even seem that Ashley’s opinion mattered. That evening started out no different than any other. I did my homework, ate dinner and then went up to my room. Hunter was already there, listening to his iPod and reading a book…as usual. I couldn’t believe that had never crossed my mind before, but I asked him if he wasn’t afraid his parents would notice that he was gone one of these nights. He shrugged. “Very unlikely,” he said in a sad tone. “Do you want to talk about it?” “There is not much to it. You know ever since my brother was accused of neglect and as far as they know, I almost died, things just got bad. Dad is always away from home on business trips and mom is just distant.” I hate those moments when you are never too sure what to say… “I’m sorry—“ He put his hand up, “Please don’t.” “Okay.” After an awkward silence I asked if he had any luck in searching for his mentor that day. He shook his head, clearly looking concerned. “Kelly will be officially in her third trimester in a few weeks…” “Yeah, I know.” That turned into one of those nights when everything just felt off… nothing either one of us said was right, or felt right. Eventually, I suggested we watch a movie, we both started out sitting on the floor, but I quickly got tired and went to my bed where I fell asleep in a matter of minutes. That nightmare, started out with me in a place that looked like a castle. I had been taken there against my will, and locked in a room… a plain room with a bed and a window that overlooked a large field and the front gates to the place. Hunter was on the other side of the gate, trying to get in… yelling at one of the guards. Almost as if I was viewing him with a camera that I could zoom in and out, I got a very close look at the guard. Although his back was to me, I could see that he was tall, strong and just… mesmerizing. I also could not help but to notice the scars on his back. Two thin scars, one on each side, and then I looked at the girl standing next to him and I understood why he had those scars. He was one of the fallen, and once he fell, he had been punished by having taken away one of the main things that made him who he was. Unlike him, the girl had her wings, but they were nothing like I would have imagined. Her wings were dark; it looked as if they didn’t belong. Once she spoke, Hunter turned around and left, leaving me trapped in that place. I then had a vision of Benjamin watching everyone and everything. He wasn’t gone. He was still around, and he had an agenda, whatever that was. Then I had another vision, him at school, laughing at Justin for being blamed for Ashley’s pregnancy. He walked toward her, warning her to take care of that child, but his expression was so cold, his intentions unknown. The only thing certain was that he was not happy about the way Ashley was handling things, almost as if he was upset that she was hurting that child. Then the vision changed again, almost as if I was flipping the channels on the TV. This time, he watched Kelly sleeping, and he looked pleased. That part of the nightmare was what left me terrified the most. Terrified to the point where I woke up screaming. Hunter was by my side within seconds. “Shhh.MoreLess
