A Dream Chp: 6 Revelations
#6 of A Dream
Chp: 6 Revelations.
Folvos's POV
I see it open up its hands and it makes me feel a little safer so I start to look over it. It's like those things I see in my dreams but this one doesn't seem to want to hurt me. He... I think it's a he, moves closer to me, only slightly, but it makes me tense up a tiny bit in case he isn't as friendly as he seems. "It's ok, I won't hurt you." I hear someone say, I perk my ears up and try to see who said it. I don't completely trust the thing that's in the room so I just keep him in my eye sight. "I won't hurt you, its ok." This time it comes from the direction he was in, maybe he's taken someone else prisoner or something... But then why would they be saying they won't hurt me? He moves a bit closer and it makes me a little anxious so I just stare at him trying to get him to stop moving closer. "Who are you?" I ask expecting a response from somewhere behind him but what happens next shocks me. "You talk!?!? Thank god I'm not crazy!" He exclaims sounding really shocked at first then happy towards the end. I feel my jaw go agape as I realise it was him talking all this time. "You were the one talking?!?" I say to him sounding just as shocked. I just sit there staring at him expecting him to say something or do something else. After a few minutes I start to grow bored, "You never answered my question." I remind him hopping I don't sound like I just pooped myself out of fright. "Uhm, oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting you to, you know, talk. I really thought I was going crazy" He replies then starts to compose himself "My names Andrew but everyone seems to call me AJ, do you have a name?" He asks looking to me and he puts his arms down slowly. "I... I'm Folvos." I reply as I watch his arms lower in case he tries to do something to hurt me.
"What are you?" The words just kind of fell out of my mouth, and I could tell he didn't expect it. "Um, uhh, what do you mean?" He kind of looked at me strangely and waited for a response. "I mean, what are you, your obviously not Ninjin like me." "I'm... Do you mean human?" He replied sounding a little confused. "Is that what you call your species, I guess that's what I was asking." I respond and glance around where I am, it kind of reminds me of a bedroom inside a house or something, "Where am I?" I question him, "I'm guessing you mean my bedroom, in Australia, Planet Earth." I think over what he's just said, "You mean I'm not even on Sakai anymore?!?" I almost shout at him and it looks like I startled him a little. "Is that an island somewhere? I've never heard of it." He states looking a little wiry of me. "That's where I live and what do you mean you haven't heard of it!?" I continue almost shouting and I crawl back up into the corner and pull my knees up to my chest. "I just want to go home." I start sobbing a little not caring that this thing was watching me. "Are... Are you ok? Volvos what's wrong?" Andrew asks. I just keep sobbing and huddled up in the corner, hoping it was a bad dream.
Andrew's POV
This thing... This Ninjin, I think he called himself, it was crying. Well whimpering, like a dog. What am I supposed to do? He mentioned his name didn't he? I try to think back, it started with a v, or something. Vol? Volvos was it? Close enough, "Are... Are you ok? Volvos, what's wrong?" His ears perk up and he seems to remember I'm here, he just keeps crying, or is it whimpering I'm confused, in the corner. I slowly walk over to him and reach up to scratch him behind the ears, most dogs like this right? I don't know what made me think to do that, I guess it was because of how much he reminds me of a dog. As my hand brushes his soft fur I feel his mussels tense up, he seems a little afraid until I start to gently rub behind his ears. As soon as I do I feel him relax and stop whimpering so loudly, calming down to every now and again. I think he has calmed down but I see his eyes shoot open and faster than I can react he has my arm trapped in a vice like grip.
I've never felt more terrified in my life than when he spoke his next words "Do not touch my ears again!" He gave me a blood stopping death stare, like I'd just killed someone important to him or something. It took a moment but I must've looked like a deer in the headlights, eyes wide with fear and hand paling with his tight grip. After what felt like hours, but was probably only a few seconds, he seemed to calm down and looked shocked at what he did. He looked at his paw and just stared at it in disbelief, releasing it he brought his paw around to look at the other side. I backed away slowly, whatever had just happened it was scary, like a completely different... thing from the person I was talking to moments ago. "I'm sorry, bad memories." Was all he said, "W...Would you like some water or anything?" I ask surprised at what I was asking the person who had just held my arm in a grip that felt almost super-human. He looked up from his paw and looked at me inquisitively, "You would do that for someone who has just almost choked your hand?" he sounded as surprised as he looked, eyes wide and head tilted slightly reminding me of a dog again. "Sure," I replied trying to reassure myself as I said it. "Come with me, I'll take you to the kitchen." I stood up and walked out into the hallway, I stopped outside my door and waited for him to come out. He looked around my room one last time and slowly walked towards the door again.
