I wake up a bit disoriented. My mind is a bit foggy and I can’t shake the tiredness that was weighing down my body.
I hate it when this happens. You fall asleep finally, thinking that you’ll have the rest your body has been craving, only to wake up feeling more tired than you were the previous day.
I sit up right, pushing the blanket off me before turning. Aspen isn’t next to me, and I am not surprised.
Good morning, Martha, is Aspen with you? I mind-link her as I get out of bed.
I sit there for a while, with my legs hanging on the side of the bed while I wait for an answer. If I am being honest though, I was also waiting for my brain to catch up.
Morning Sadie, yes she is, she responds in her soft and motherly voice.
Okay, let me take a shower, then I’ll join you shortly.
Sure thing
I make a mental note to let Raven and King know about my new-found ability. I should have told them the moment I found out. I’ll be correcting that today.
After taking a deep breath, I jump out of bed and head directly to the bathroom. I take a quick shower. I don’t know why, but there is this urgency in me to rush.
Once I am done, I get out of the bathroom and head to my suitcase. The mess on the floor bothers me. I should really put up both mine and Aspen clothes in the closet because we’ll be staying here a while.
It was while I was there I was putting my bra on that it suddenly hit me. The weird dream I had. I pause for a minute, trying to catch my breath as waves of sorrow flow through me.
It’s like I was relieving the sadness that little girl felt after her sister called her weak. The heartbreak she felt when her sister mocked her. I couldn’t see their faces clearly, but I was sure they were the same girls I had dreamt of previously. What’s even crazier is that it felt so real. It felt as if I was that little girl. Like I was there and not just watching the whole thing as an outsider.
I rub my chest when this intense longing hits me and, all of a sudden, I feel like all
my energy has been zapped. Drained, leaving me empty.
I slowly put on my t-shirt before walking to my bed, then dropped down on it.
I am so confused. Why am I feeling like this? Why is it affecting me when I don’t even know who the two girls are?
I try to rack my mind, but I come up empty. I don’t recognize them, maybe because in my dream their faces were blurred. Either way, it doesn’t stop my heart from picking up speed, even as I feel it shatter at the same time.
The pain is there. Like a ghost. A phantom pain that I have no idea of its origin or how it got there in the first place.
It’s almost the same feeling I got when Piper betrayed me, only this one is deeper, more heart-wrenching.
Nyx, I call to her, hoping she would shed some light on these overwhelming feelings that seem to want to drown me.
Yes?
I had a dream.
I know, she whispers.
She tries to hide her feelings, but they are there in her voice. Gone is my wolf spirit, who is always assured, assertive and a badass. In her place is a broken wolf who has gone through hell and back. In her place is a wolf who has been betrayed in ways that have left scars.
No wonder she understood what I felt after the ones I loved turned their backs on me and betrayed my love for them. She’s suffered through the same. For someone to get exactly what you feel, they must have passed through the same thing.
