Chapter 19

Sunni seemed quite awake, but her eyes were still shut. She was mentally asleep although her fingers moved she still showed no sign of waking.
Then came that same traumatic dream that had suddenly began tormenting her recently. But this time it was different.
This time the scene wasn't that bloody anymore. it was simply a lonely street with street lights illuminating the darkness.
She was alone as always strolling the street, cluelessly. Then suddenly she heard a voice from behind.
"Are you Okey?" Confused at the rather familiar voice, she quickly turned to see someone approaching.
She stiffened in fear as the shadowed image gradually emerged from the unlit part of the street.
She drew back intending to run off but for a reason, curiosity had also gotten the better half of her! She wanted to know whom this person was. This certain person that had been coming to her constantly In her dreams, or nightmare.
She stopped drawing back as she stared attentively at the approaching image. It was beginning to come together. It was gradually making sense into a human figure....she stared more attentively as the image finally emerged into light.
Sunni stiffened utmost shock on seeing the image. She gasped not out of relief now but that of shock and fear mixed. She couldn't believe her eyes....who was this she had seen?
"Lu....Lu.....Lucas?" She managed her stammering tone to say as Lucas who was dressed fully in black approached her.
"Are you....Okey?" He asked as Sunni quickly flipped her eyes open from what was an obvious nightmare.
She quickly sat up on the bed where she lay as she ran a hand through her hair while she thought of what she had seen. Lucas? How could it be him? why was it him?
As she thought about what was going on. Her eyes randomly ran through the room as her confusion grew. Where was she? A hospital?!
The setting and equipments in this room made it quite obvious that she was In a hospital. Looking at her clothes, she was still in her outfit, not a hospital wear. But that didn't matter. The main attention here was why was she In a hospital.
As she wondered what she was doing here. Her phone which she saw on the table next to her bed rang. She managed to take the phone looking at the call from Hana. Before she picked it up, it had stopped ringing. Giving Sunni the opportunity to see the 10 missed calls from Hana.
She then called her back and after a while, Hana picked up.
"What's up with you?! way aren't you picking my calls?!" Hana demanded from the other side of the line.
Sunni looked around "Well.... it's nothing.....Just sleeping..." She said.
"Sleeping by this time? It seems you really do have no woke doing, You lazy bones!"
Sunni looked at the time on her phone, it was 12:03am.
"Well Forget it. I called to tell you something.."
Sunni was busy thinking about what had actually happened before the thought of the incident struck her. Powers! Super powers! She recalled
"Hey! Sunni! You still there?!" Hana called from the other end of the line.
"Oh... yeah...what?" She asked.
"Well. it's nothing. I'm just pissed off. That's why I'm on my way home now"
Sunni's expression went pale at the announcement. What??? Returning?? Today??
"What? why?!" Sunni asked.
"Why won't I? and why are you questioning me? don't you want me back?"
"No... it's not that... it's just that... it's too sudden....I'm not ready"
"what are you getting ready for? Pathetic child. So are you at home?" Hana asked.
"No...I'm not" Sunni replied. She was thinking of what to do with Lucas!"
"Not home? then where are you sleeping? oh my! don't tell me it's at a guy's place?"
"No no...eww...stop that. "
"So tell me where you are" Hana demanded as Sunni looked around. She was urgently thinking of a perfect excuse.
when suddenly the door opened and a nurse entered "Miss it's time for you to take your medicine" The nurse announced.
And Hana had probably heard it which had automatically given Sunni out.
"What medicine?! Sunni speak now! Where are you?" Hana demanded.
Sunni knew it was of no use to hide. She had to come clean "Well ... surprisingly I'm at a hospital"
"Hospital? what hospital?!" Hana demanded but Sunni hesitated looking at the nurse.
"What hospital is this?" She asked as the nurse told her " It's XXX hospital"
"Okey I'm coming over there right now!" Hana cut the line.
Originally, Sunni didn't want Hana coming over here because she didn't know what to tell her. She herself didn't know how she got here and couldn't explain what had really happened so what was she gonna tell her?
"Have your pills miss" The nurse handed her a glass of water and few pills. She took it and looked at the nurse.
"Excuse me .... but how did I get here?"
"Well yesterday's afternoon,. a guy carried you I'm his arms unconscious and brought you in here. He urgently demanded you get admitted and treated" She explained.
"A guy?" Sunni repeated. She could tell it was Lucas. "But what am I suffering from?"
"Well it was strange that no physical injuries were found but the doctor said you lost a good amount of blood and need lots of rest."
Sunni thought it all through. How did all these happen. She recalled the odd fight yesterday between Lucas and that guy. And she remembered being held captive and then diving in to rescue Lucas.... Could that be the reason for the extraordinary loss of blood.
Feeling her neck. She realized that her body was indeed aching a lot. "But.... where is the guy?"
"Well after bringing you here yesterday...he brought you these food you never touched and paid off the bills in advance. He waited outside the room till night but left saying he'd be back today"
Sunni stared at the take away meal by Lucas. She couldn't help but wonder where he got the money.
Then the door opened and looking up, Sunni saw Lucas enter with another take away meal in hand.
"I'll be off then. Remember to have good sleep" The nurse reminded as she left.
Sunni slowly drank up her medicine and dropped the cup as she watched Lucas who came to sit on a chair next to her bed. He kept the take away meal on the table next to the other.
In silence, Sunni watched him keep the meal as the memory of what had happened yesterday flashed into her mind. This guy had been strange since day one and was ignorant of many basic things all human knew. Although she had previously given it and answer. She was now beginning to question her conclusion. And to top it all up, he had used powers?
This, to Sunni could only mean on thing. He wasn't human!
He looked up at her "Are you okey?"
The question made her recall her dream...he had also been there.... asking the same question. And she could recall she started having these dreams when he arrived and in there dream, he had killed many.....many who were seeking her help and Under a bloody scene....he was. She couldn't help but wonder what it all meant.
Looking at him... Sunni didn't know what to feel. Fear? yes! she was very much afraid of whom was before him. But what to do?
"Are you hungry?" He asked looking right into her eyes as she blinked looking away.
"No...no...I'm not" She covered up.
He looked closely at her as he slowly raised a hand towards her. Sunni Froze in confusion watching his hand come to her forehead as he stroked it. "It hurts....your body still hurts, right?"
She said nothing but watch him. He was a beast and she knew this. But why was her heart beating?!!
"It's non of your business" Sunni brushed his hand off.
He looked at her for another minute making her feel awkward and like he had concluded, he slowly got up and leaned towards her.
Without any warning, he placed a gentle heart sizzling kiss on Sunni's lips.... sending fantasy sparks into her youthful head...
