She came to me in a dream.
At least, it felt like a dream. When I woke up, or so I thought I did, she was nowhere to be found. Yet, I still felt the gentleness of her touch on my arm. The spot where she kissed my cheek was still tingling too as if she was still there. Her scent surrounded and wrapped around me like a veil, suffocating me in a sea of bliss as I inhaled her essence. It felt like I was in heaven on earth.
Her name was Serenity.
I don’t know how I knew her name. I could’ve sworn, or I would’ve sworn, that she whispered it to me before she vanished, but I wasn’t sure. My head felt clouded but light, so it seemed like she had whispered for my ears alone. Yet, I felt as if she had spoken it to me through my mind. It’s like her voice was still there inside my head. It rang like a note of soft music.
“Chase,” she called.
She knew me. She knew my name. Our eyes met the moment my name escaped her lips. I couldn’t tear my eyes away. She was so captivating. If angels were real, then she could’ve been one. That was how beautiful she was. She emitted vibes that screamed pure mystery, which drew me in, unconsciously. She got me hooked from the very start.
“I need you.”
Who was I to refused such a request from a goddess? Even the craziest man alive would’ve been sane enough to accept her call for help. After all, every man sought an adventure at least once in his lifetime- an adventure that was out of the ordinary; something thrilling. This was my chance to play Superhero at last.
“Come find me.”
I told you; she got me hooked from the very start. As soon as those words left her lips after planting a soft but promising kiss on my cheek, there was no way I could’ve called it another dream. It was a calling I could’ve ignored because she called me. So when she told me to go find her, I did exactly just that.
“Please hurry… before it’s too late.”
