《Sway(Wattys 2015)》Backlash
Advertisement
The exact same thing happened in my dream,the torturous screaming ,the mist , it was insane. That was probably why I didn't feel threatened, I knew Ivan was dangerous but I don't think he would hurt me
I was to tired and confused to run anymore so instead i walked.
"Rogue what the fuck!" Tasha said as she ran towards me.
"What?"
"There's blood all over your face, how did it get there? Are you okay " she frantically questioned.
I grab a cloth and scrub my face clean, the friction made me skin red and saw.
"I don't know and yes I'm fine so relax alright" I reply.
Tonight's events left me an uneasy mess, I would jump and jolt at the slightest of movements.Sleep was something I never struggled with until tonight.
I was constantly twisting and turning trying to figure out why I had dreamt about it, I had already established that Ivan must of been hunting.
I was also fearing the consequences for my actions, hitting him with a stick, possibly helping his victim get away, sneaking around, running on the private gardens. This all could of been avoided if I had just stayed in.
I wonder what he was going to say,he might not bring it up , heck I'm not even certain it was him.
I eventually fell asleep in the early hours of the next morning. I had the same dream as before the figure was still unrecognisable and it finished with the bright light,but instead of waking up the dream would start again and repeat itself.
I woke up the next morning with a massive headache , I got up from the bed and dragged myself into the bathroom.My own reflection gave me a fright ,I had bags under my eyes and my hair was a mess it sort of resembled a troll or a scarecrow.

Once I had a shower and got changed I didn't look that bad, I put on my glasses and brushed my hair back into a high pony tail.
As always I had some chores to attend. I started by cleaning up the kitchen when miss Jones approached me.
"Hey love" she sweetly greeted
"Hey,is there anything I can do for you?"
"Errr yeah, I'm feeling a little under the weather so I was going to take a nap,but Mr Stone wants some refreshments brought to his room,i was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me out?"
"Why do I have to do it?" I quickly reply. I wouldn't normally have a problem with it but after last nights events the last thing I want is to be near him.
"Never mind" she smiled and slowly walked away.I could see by the way she was walking that she wasn't feeling right ,as much as I don't want to do it, she has a heart of gold and she's been to good to me.
"Wait I'm sorry Miss Jones ,of course I'll do it" I reply with a half smile
"Are you sure,you look very reluctant"
"No it's no problem ,has the food been prepared or would you like me to do it"
"Oh no, everything he asked for is on the gold tray"
"Ok , and where is his room?"
"You know the ball room,go up the stairs and through the double doors, that's the beginning of his suite,its easy to find from there, he normally likes it on the balcony in his room,if he's not there I want you to leave it there alright ?" she asks whilst removing her apron.
"I think I got it ,is there anything I can help you with when I come back?"

"No thank you dear , that will be all, I really do appreciate it" she gives me a quick hug and walks away.
I grab the golden tray and begin the walk to the ball room.
I was standing outside the doors on top of the stairs.As soon as I pushed open the doors , i was immediately filled with panic and anxiety.
If I didn't give him his food then Miss Jones would get in trouble and I don't want to cause her any unwanted stress.
I straightened out my breath and walked through the doors.My jaw dropped in amazement when I saw how big it was,everything looked modern and really expensive, I continued to walk through another door way, the decor getting more amazing and unique with each step.
I was standing at another set of doors, this had to be Ivan's room, the way my heart raced and my palms began to sweat convinced me this was his room.
To afraid to knock I just barged in,tripping over my feet in the process but luckily not falling over.My grip on the tray grew tighter.
His room was massive,beautiful in fact, nothing like I was expecting. A massive circular bed was positioned on a three base platform, white blankets covered the bed as well as a mountain of pillows which were all duff entry materials. A huge red circle couch was to the left of the balcony doors. White cabinets were positioned around the room, whilst white drapes were separated and secured either side if the windows. The carpet was fluffy and bouncy like the couch it was also red.
There was to much to describe, I looked around to see if Ivan was in sight but I couldn't it must mean he was on the balcony.
I walk towards the doors ,I could see Ivan's talk muscular figure leaning on the balcony,after a quick mental pep talk I step out onto the balcony.
I quickly put the tray down and slowly backed up.
"Have you ever heard the saying, curiosity killed the cat?" he asks with his back still towards me.
