Chapter 43: Ch.42 Picnic
I gasped for breath as I woke up from that nightmare. I jumped off my bed and I looked around. I suddenly felt a warm embrace. I looked at who it was and it was Malia. She was hugging me. She had her eyes closed and she said, "It's just a dream, you are fine… you are safe, I am here." She kept saying that to me.
She calmed me down and I said, "Thank you." I exhaled and she looked at me and asked, "Are you okay?"
I took a deep breath and nodded and said, "Yeah, I am good… sorry to scare you like that." She let go of me and I looked around the room and I was sure that I was in my room and this was all real. I wiped the sweat off my face and took some deep breaths. I sat down on my bed and tried to calm my nerves. What the hell was that?
I've had some weird dreams but that was something else and that monster… Malar, who is he? What is he? And how did he know about what happened to us?. Just as I was getting a little used to being this thing. It threw a new curve ball. What am I going to do with it all?
Malia came and sat next to me and she asked, "You alright?"
I nodded and she said, "Alright…"
I looked at her and said, "I'm going to go and take a shower." I got up and she nodded. I went ahead in the bathroom. I was drenched in sweat and I smelled bad. After shower I went downstairs and I found a note on the fridge from mom. She had to leave early for a meeting and she told me that since I had nothing to do, I would teach Malia some basic stuff.
As I was reading that I saw Malia coming down the stairs in an oversize t-shirt and shorts. Her hair was wet. She was drying it off with a towel. She looked at me and said, "Good morning~"
I nodded and said, "Good… morning." I didn't really know how to be around her after what happened last night. I was conflicted. I would like to be with her but then if I do that would that be right? I don't know.
She looked around and asked, "Where is Olivia?"
I showed her the note and said, "Ah, she's off to work early…" I took out some eggs, bacon and bread and asked, "Breakfast?"
She smiled and sat down on the table and said, "Yeah."
I decided to make a morning sandwich. I took out the utensils and went at it. She asked me, "So, what are we doing today?"
I was whipping the eggs and I said, "Well, mom told me to teach you some basic stuff… like, like, I don't know… we'll make it up as we go."
She chuckled and said, "I like the sound of that."
I smiled and I asked, "Is there something you would like to do?"
She thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to go to the park…"
I laughed and she was confused and she walked to me and asked, "What?~"
I shook my head and said, "Nothing, we can go to the park…"
She was happy she hugged me and I said, "Malia I am cooking…" She looked at me and said, "Sorry~"
I looked at her and said, "Go and sit down." She nodded and she went ahead and sat on the table.

After our breakfast was done we went to the park, it wasn't crowded or anything seeing that it was winter and all. But we could still spot a few people. I had made us some lunch so it was like a little picnic. We were sitting under a tree and the sun was peeking out of the branches and it was very pleasant.
It was very relaxing, I was eating a sandwich and I saw that Malia was speaking to me, it looked like she wanted to ask something. I looked at her and I asked, "You want to ask me something?"
She shook her head and took a bite of the sandwich but I kept looking at her and she said, "I heard you last night…" And I looked at her and said, "It's nothing, it's just a pact with Derek, it's nothing to be worried about."
But she shook her head and said, "I am not talking about that… I am talking about when you were sleeping." She leaned in closer and said, "Last night I heard you… your heart was like a machine gun… you were sweating and muttering something in your sleep… What kind of dream was it?"
I looked at her and I don't know if I should tell her but she has been so open to me and I do think if I did tell her what happened I would feel a bit better. "Last night wasn't just a dream…" She looked at me and it looked like she didn't understand anything so I had to hear everything about what I am and how I am different.
After the end of my explanation she was perplexed. She looked ahead and asked, "So you can travel to a weird place when you sleep and in this place are the people who were your grandparents and all? And last night you somehow got attacked by a monster who called himself a god?"
I looked at her and said, "Now, when you say it like that it sounds silly… but pretty much yeah…"
She was stunned… she looked ahead and said, "That's rough…" I nodded, and she asked, "Will you be okay?"
I sighed and said, "I hope so…"
She then looked at me and said, "Well, I'll be there with you, so you don't have to worry about some bad dreams."
I chuckled and looked at her, "Well, then I'll be in your care."
