I doze off, someone's voice echoing in my head as I sleep.
...'You mean the world to me. Nothing will ever come between us. No matter what anybody says or does, you will always me in my heart, forever and ever...You're spot will never be replaced. You hold the key to my heart and have since we've met. I will love you forever. And no matter how much we fight, things will be okay. Like I said, I will love you forever. No matter what...'
All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie-dust!
...'And when I first met you, I never thought I would have strong feelings for you.I never would've thought I would have dreams about you or have butterflies in my stomach when someone mentions you're name. When we first met, I would've never thought I would love you...'
I stirr, confused, and cross my arms over my stomach, burying my face in a pillow.
All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie-dust!
*gasps* It's not Jace talking, is it? It's someone else...
Jace
A house sits in the middle of a valley, giggles and laughter of children filling the air. No face is clear, the whole vision distorted. On the porch, the two adults sit and watch while a third tries to get the children to focus on something. A dark cloud slowly begins to cover the scene, the five racing against time itself...
I'm never what I like I'm double sided And I just can't hide I kind of like it When I make you cry 'Cause I'm twisted up, twisted up Inside
...The cloud fully covers the sky and all five figures rush in the house, congregating in the center of the first room. One of the adults holds onto the children while two of the others stand defensively around them.
'It's too late for this,' a voice whispers, 'It's over'...
I'm never what I like I'm double sided And I just can't hide I kind of like it When I make you cry 'Cause I'm twisted up, twisted up Inside
...'I'm scared because I don't want anyone else to have your heart. I don't want anyone else to kiss your lips, I don't want anyone else to hold you in their arms, I don't want anyone else to be the one you love. I'm scared because I don't want anyone to take my place'...
Amazingly confused and somewhat annoyed, I sigh and cuddle closer to Jace, hoping it's him speaking in the dream.
All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie-dust!
I tighten my grip around Rayah as she cuddles closer, stirring slightly.
...'No, you can't think like that,' another voice scolds, 'We did not come all this way to end it here.'
'You can't save the whole world, Jace!' the first explodes, 'You of all people should know when to give up a fight! Sometimes rolling over and letting things happen is the only way to live to see happiness again'...
I'm never what I like I'm double sided And I just can't hide I kind of like it When I make you cry 'Cause I'm twisted up, twisted up Inside
...'If you're asking If I need you, the answer is forever. If your asking if I'll leave you, the answer is never. If you're asking what I value the answer is you. If you're asking if I love you...the answer is I do.'
A boy appears, striking blue eyes and dirty blonde hair...
All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie-dust!
...'Sometimes, in order to make sure your loved ones survive, you have to make a sacrifice,' the first voice whispers, 'Sometimes, you have to give up what you want, so that they can have everything. Sometimes, you have to stop loving them'...
I'm never what I like I'm double sided And I just can't hide I kind of like it When I make you cry 'Cause I'm twisted up, twisted up Inside
...I appear next to him as he takes both my hands, speaking to me.
'Do you know that I love you, You probrably do but I'm going to keep saying it. There's no lies in these words, not one bit. Your smile keeps me alive. It's one more reason to keep fighting. I would give you my soul for comfort, even if it leaves me cold and dark. And when I hold you close, I can feel you're heart beat fast, and I think to myself- I've found that "someone" at last.'...
I stirr again, even more confused.
All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie-dust!
I stir again, hoping this is just a dream and nothing more...like what Alyx sees.
...My father's face appears in the dream, his eyes saddened for once.
'Fate is not on your side,' he tells me, 'Things are not as they seem. You had the right idea before. Sacrifice your happiness, so that others may excel. If you think your feelings matter, you're sadly mistaken.'
He disappears and the setting from before comes back. Only one figure stands in the middle of it now, the other four having vanished.
'Is it truly better for you to loved and lost, or to have lived and never been loved the way you need?' the first voice whispers, 'Stop hiding in these shadows, fooling yourself. Make up your own mind'...
I'm never what I like I'm double sided And I just can't hide I kind of like it When I make you cry 'Cause I'm twisted up, twisted up Inside
