Chapter 10: Am I Dazy? Or Prizey..? ..(part-2).
Three days later... At the convent.
The News came quickly.
Her dreamed reader is survived. But her mind had shattered.
Helen didn't wait. She rushed back to the convent where sister Agatha taking care of her.
Agatha met her in the hallway. Face grim.
"She's unstable now. She speaks in fragments, nightmares, names----your daughters name. Something triggered her memories."
Helen's voice dropped: "She had nightmares too?"
Agatha nodded: "God didn't want her to remember. So when she Did, it destroyed her sanity."
The Dream Readers Room....
The room was dim, only a few candles lit the corners, flickering like frightened flames.
The dream reader sat against the wall. Her nails stretched bloody. Her eyes wide open and glassy. She whispered in circles with herself.
Helen stepped closer: "Do you remember me?"
The dream reader twitched and suddenly she screamed.
"No, noooooo...not Xavier."
"He sees through the dream...he----he will find me.
He'll kill me, he'll-- he'll, eat my soul."
She begin banging her head against the wall.
"Not the wolf-----not the wolf. He'll kill her too!
He'll kill them all....no one escape Xavier...no one!
HAHAHAHAHA!"
She screaming twisted into high pitched witch---like laughter, wild and terrifying. Snd then, suddenly she collapsed unconscious.
Helen stumbled back, hand to her mouth.
She ran out of the convent as fast, as her legs could carry her, heart pounding like thunder in her chest.
"What did she see?"
"What is coming for my daughter?"
Helen whispered to herself..
Helen's Worry...
At home Helen sat at the edge of her bed.
"Something's wrong... deeply wrong. She is slipping away and I can't hold her...Oh God... please..."
Her voice broke into a whisper. As she clutched the side of the bed. "My daughter! What's happening to you?"
At College -- The Proposal....
Now Dazy started staying away from Aliyah, and did not even talk to her. At this time, Robin started giving importance to Dazy. But Dazy think it's love, she doesn't know about the Robin's actual plan.
Dazy walked through the college corridor. Her steps soft but filled with a trembling determination. She had dressed beautifully today. Soft pink dress, delicate curls falling on her shoulders and a trembling smile on her lips. Her hands gripped a bouquet of flowers and a chocolate box.
Today, she would finally tell Robin, what she felt.
The courtyard was crowded. Robin stood with his usual gang of boys and girls, smirking and chatting. Dazy stepped-forward nervous, flushed and shaking but she stood tall.
"Robin..." She said, loud enough for the crowd.
"I love you... I have loved you for a year...and today, I want to make you mine. Please!!
Accept my proposal.."
There was a long silence. Then Robin, slowly stood. Stuffing his hands into his pockets. He walked towards her--- his expressions unreadable--- and snatched the bouquet from her hands.
"Ohh, look everyone." He sneered. "She's back again."
He tossed the bouquet like garbage onto the ground.
"You seriously think, I'd date you?"
"Have you seen yourself?"
"Your worth isn't even good enough for my bed."
Dazy's eyes fell on the ground, as her tears shimmered.
Robin grabbed her hair, yanking her face up towards his.
Just because I've flirted for two days, you thought you mattered?
Look in the mirror. Dazy. Feel disgusted yet.
In the distance, nick watched everything, frozen. He wanted to scream, but his fear kept his lips locked. He watched silent. Weak.
Suddenly. SLAP!!!
Robin struck Dazy across the face, so hard her lips bled. She collapsed onto the pavement, hands trembling. Robin crouched besides her, lifting her chin, cruelly.
"If you want me, as your boyfriend. Prove it.
Go to the third floor terrace and jump."
The Rooftop Edge.....
Minutes later...
Dazy stood at the edge of the third floor rooftop. Wind tangled in her hair. Her eyes were swollen. Her mind were fractured.
She looked down. This would end the noise, the pain, the betrayal...
Just as the stepped forward---
"Noooooo! Dazy! Stopppppp!!!!!"
Aliyah's scream echoed from the sky, as she ran up the stairs, her heart threatening to burst. She lunged, grabbing Dazy's waist and pulling her back just before the fall.
Dazy collapsed in her arms, unconscious.
At the College Dispensary.....
Dazy lay still, bruised and pale. A nurse wiped the blood from her lips.
Her breathing was slow....but steady.
Aliyah stood nearby, fists clenched, her heart shattered.
And then...she snapped.
She stormed out of this room, straight towards the place where Robin stood laughing with his friends.
Aliyah's Rage....
Aliyah marched towards Robin like a storm, grabbed him from his collar, and slapped him with full force.
"Are you insane? Are you even human?"
"If you don't love someone, Fine--- but don't destroy them!"
Tears rolled down her face, as she screamed.
"She's innocent!....so much innocent that she loved a devil and called it love?"
Robin smirked, but she wasn't done.
Not by a long shot.
"You think you're untouchable?"
"I WARNED YOU!
And I swear, in two weeks, I'll make your life HELL."
She punched him hard on the face.
Then turn and ran back to Dazy, her tears is now full of fire.
🏥 At the Dispensary.....
Aliyah held Dazy's hand tightly, tears dripping down her cheeks.
> "Dazy… please... I'm sorry.
If I had told you earlier about Robin, maybe none of this would've happened. I'm sorry…"
Dazy lay motionless, oxygen mask covering her face. But slowly… her eyes fluttered open. She blinked weakly, then looked toward Aliyah. Her hand lifted—trembling—and gently touched Aliyah's hair.
Aliyah gasped.
> "Dazy! You're awake—thank God!"
Her voice cracked in relief.
⏳ Two Hours Later....
Dazy sat up in bed, still weak. Aliyah fed her warm soup, sitting beside her.
> "I'm so sorry, Aliyah," Dazy whispered.
Aliyah scoffed softly, wiping Dazy's lips with a napkin.
> "Will someone please explain to me what 'sorry' even means—
because the strongest, most beautiful girl I know is saying it right now."
Dazy gave a small, broken smile.
> "Strong…? Me?"
> "Of course, you idiot," Aliyah smiled. "Now stop crying and be my friend again."
Dazy's eyes welled up again—but this time, with love. She reached out and hugged Aliyah tightly.
> "I missed this," Aliyah whispered.
> "Me too…"
🏠At Dazy's Home – That Night
Dazy laid her head on Aliyah's lap. The room was quiet, only the hum of a soft lamp lighting the corners. Aliyah ran her fingers through her hair, gently massaging her scalp.
Slowly… Dazy fell asleep. Peacefully.
Aliyah smiled, kissed her forehead, and tiptoed out.
🌑 The Dream Begins
Dazy stood under a twisted ancient tree, crying. Her face was wet, her soul aching. Wind blew through the dark forest as moonlight dripped through the leaves like silver rain.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her.
She turned.
A tall figure appeared—a boy, around 6'4", cloaked in black, with a mask covering half his face. But his piercing ice-blue eyes burned through her.
> "So… you've learned how to cry now?" he asked.
Dazy narrowed her brows.
> "What do you mean?"
> "I mean rejection tears… heartbreak… death tears."
> "I'm not crying," she whispered. "And… who even are you?"
The boy chuckled...
> "That's a long story. Maybe someday I'll tell you.
But for now, you need to become stronger… Prizey."
> "Prizey?" Dazy blinked. "That's not my name… I'm Dazy."
He stepped closer. The forest around them pulsed with energy.
> "Oh right. Dazy.
The girl who tried to end her life for a trash like Robin."
Her gaze fell. The shame burned.
He gently lifted her chin and placed his hand softly on her head.
She looked up into his glowing eyes—electric blue, deep as oceans.
> "Tell me… what should a wolf's mate be like?" he asked.
> "I—I don't know…" She said.
> "Powerful. Fearless. Loyal. Untamed. A mate who doesn't bow.
And certainly doesn't break." He whispered.
> "What are you saying…?"(Dazy whispered).
He leaned in, eyes glowing brighter.
> "I'm saying… that Dazy is dead.
And the girl standing before me… is Prizey—Xavier's Prizey."
Dazy gasped.....
> "Xavier...? Who is Xavier?"
The boy laughed softly.
> "So many questions.
But don't worry, you'll know… soon enough.
Just rise. Become who you're meant to be.
The rest will follow."
🛌 Dazy Wakes Up.....
She jolted awake, breath heavy, forehead damp with sweat.
> "Who… was that...?"
Her heart beat like thunder.
Her wolf mark burned faintly under her skin.
And somewhere far away… a blue-eyed boy stood in the shadows, whispering her name.
