Chapter 194: A State Of Terror
My brain awoke as well as my body, like the speed of light I flickered my eyes open and emitted a strong puff of air unable to steady myself, I felt like I have just emerged from the depths of water and finally catching my breathing like I just found air, I was cold both inside and out and I couldn’t help my teeth chattering from it, it was so intense that I felt like my blood was ice. But suddenly a strong warmth engulfed me and all cold seemed to be erased like a snap, I was back to feeling that secured warmth, and my state of panic was somewhat reduced but I could still feel the remnants shocking my body.
"Emma, what’s wrong?" hearing Dace’s voice calmed me again and all I could do was bury my face in his chest and grip him so tightly like my life depended on it, I didn’t wanna let go. And he returned my action by wrapping his arms around me in a secure state like his possessiveness came to the surface like a wide sweep.
"Did you have a nightmare?" at his question I was suddenly reminded of my dream, the fear, the panic, and the terror all came back like a storm and my breathing picked up as I pulled away from him.
"S-Someone’s dying" I choked out desperately, my cheeks were wet now and I realized I have been crying, it was just too much to handle.
"What do you mean?" he was worried and confused but there was no time to explain.
"Dace we have to go to school now!" I quickly turned on my light, grabbed my glasses, and rushed to my wardrobe to take a coat.
"Emma talk to me"
"There’s no time to talk!" I regretted raising my voice but the tears and hysteria wouldn’t stop, my lips quivered as I ran my hands through my spread-out hair, he watched me muddled and anxious, he was silently begging for an explanation and I knew that. "Please Dace, someone’s dying, we have to go now, please" I cried again.
"Okay okay" he held me as I sobbed, he understood me as he always does and I was thankful. "Let’s go"

My eyes were squeezed shut, and all I could feel was the whooshing of the breeze against my face and the wind blowing my hair wildly, like a blink of an eye we were at the entrance of the school. Dace was piggybacking me as he blurred, I made sure I held him tightly because it felt like I would fall, finally his inhuman speed was over and he dropped me, I was ready to go off on my own but he stopped me when he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to his side.
