10 Sarah (2/2)
Were they talking about the same blonde girl of before? I kept running in various directions, I did not know where I was going and I was starting to feel weary of all these memory jumps. When, from the distance, I saw a young Rob with the mysterious girl who everyone was connected to somehow.
”You keep it,” the girl said.
”But, I'm a rae,” Robert insisted.
”And what does it mean?”
”We're not supposed to love.”
”Absurd! Anyone is capable of love and once my father is the king, he'll abolish such an absurd rule.”
”We're too different.”
”I believe we're soulmates.”
”You can choose anyone, why would you ever want me?”
”The same reason why you'll choose me if you were in my place. I want to give you both the rings and when you are brave enough, you'll give the other half to me.”
”Hey Siobhan, I'm always brave.”
He put the ring gently on her finger as his hand kept trembling. It was the same ring he gave to me, an object which meant more than I could have ever envisioned, a part of his life which I was not aware of. If I thought of the Rob I was glancing at, it made me realise how much he kept from me, an entire world of secrets.
”Now, we'll always be together,” Siobhan said.
They suddenly dematerialised in the air, as I hoped this was the last of the memories I had to experience. I would have loved to wake up by now.
”Sarah,” a voice behind me kept calling me.
”Go away,” I pleaded, shutting my eyes.
”Sarah look at me.”
Even though I was shaking, I turned around to identify who could have been lurking behind me. There she was, standing in front of me yet again, the same spitting image of myself, with those pitch-black eyes and blood on her palms.
”What do you want from me?” I asked.
”Blood will be on your hands, death will be your destiny,” she said over and over, every sentence louder than the previous one.
”Leave me alone!” I shouted while closing my eyes harder than I could. The noise stopped at once, as she touched my cheek.
”I can't leave you, I'll constantly be a part of who you are. Keep in mind, like the past, the future is filled with blood and death. If you don't recall who you are, how can you help them? How will you be capable of saving yourself?”
Every slight detail in my head was becoming fuzzy, and yet, it was full of the many questions remained unanswered.
