133 Pessimist stuck in the past ….

Lyla I lay sprawled on the cold floor , its chill seeping into my bones as I stared into the darkness that shrouded the room like a cloak .

I dont know how long Ive been here ; all I remember was meeting Xander in the room of my former house and then opening my eyes to this darkness .

How had I ended up here again ? How had I come back to the human world so fast ? Was this a dream ? I didnt think so , because Ive been sleeping and waking up and doing everything I would normally in real life and Xander feels so real too .

I sighed , stretching lazily , not bothering to cover up the threadbare blanket I was given .

I lay quietly , thinking about what kind of food would be served to me later tonight , my inability to do anything but just wait was making me ravenous .

Suddenly , the voice that wouldnt leave me alone filtered into my consciousness again .

Lyla .

I didnt move , I didnt react .

The voice as always would start with a low murmur that would gradually increase in volume and intensity .

It was neither male nor female , neither young nor old just a sound that seemed to come from somewhere within me .

Lyla , it said .

Then again .

Lyla .

What ? I sighed with irritation .

If someone doesnt want to answer you , you should take it as a hint and leave them alone .

Can you just leave me the fuck alone ? Please ! There was a slight pause from its end .

For a moment , I thought it had disappeared but then it came again .

I know being alone and in this void is making you irritable , so , Im going to let that slide this once .

I ignored it , turning my head slightly to the side .

The chill from the cold floor seeped into my cheek , grounding me in the emptiness I now called my existence .

Lyla , you need to listen to me , the voice insisted .

Go away , I muttered hoarsely .

No , I wont , the voice snapped .

We have to find a way out of here before its not too late .

I scoffed , my lips curling into a dry laugh .

Too late ? I repeated bitterly .

Its already too late .

Xander has me , theres nothing I can do .

There is no escape .

Dont say that ! the voice protested , sounding frustrated .

Theres always a way .

You just need to be strong .

Strong ? I let out a mirthless laugh .

Im lying on the floor of this cold room and I cant even see .

I have no strength left .

C 123 Pessimisti Then make a deal with him , the voice urged again .

Eblinked , surprised by the suggestion .

A deal ? I repeated as if I wanted to be sure I wasnt hearing things .

Yes , the voice said .

, Anything to get out of here .

Bargain with him , trick him- do whatever it takes , anything to get out of this room especially You think hell give me an audience long enough to listen to my deal ? I hurt Xander a long time ago , he hasnt brought it up yet but just waiting here , unable to do anything is killing me .

I wish he would just mention what happened and put my mind at ease .

Youre just being a coward , Lyla , the voice hissed .

I went silent for a while , wondering if I wasnt losing my mind because of how long Ive been cooped up here and the voice … Who are you ? I asked .

Youve been here for a long time and you piss me off every day .

What are you ? Who sent you ? There was a slight hesitation , followed by a deep sigh as if it was disappointed .

You dont recognize me ? No , I said flatly .

If I did I wouldnt be asking Im your wolf .

I began to laugh slowly at first , until my entire body wracked from my laughter , when I was done , I dabbed at the tears at the corner of my eyes and tried to sound serious .

Rubbish ! I finally responded .

Thats impossible .

I dont have a wolf .

The High Priestess confirmed it herself .

Moonsingers do not have wolves .

The voice sighed again , this time there was a hint of sadness .

You dont understand , Lyla and theres not enough time to explain it to you but youre part of two worlds .

More complex than anyone can understand .

Complex ? Techoed .

You mean nonexistent .

Ive never felt you before except in the dream world .

Never heard you before now and … I trailed off as I realization struck me .

If I could talk to this voice claiming to be my wolf , it would only mean one thing .

I was in a dream .

I bolted upright , staring into the pitch darkness wishing I had light .

Slowly everything came back to me .

I was standing in the shallow depths of White Lake holding hands with Nanny and then , when I opened my eyes , I was here .

So , this must mean , all of this is happening in my dreams , right ? I think I know what to do , I just need to wake up .

I think I must have fallen asleep during the cleansing at White Lake because the only time I can talk to you is only in the dream world .

Its not going to be as easy as waking up , Lyla .

You didnt fall asleep .

This is different but help you .

The Dark One doesnt know you have a wolf and you must keep me hidden .

I dont understand .

I furrowed my brows .

And how will you help me ? You just need to find a way to get out of this room and you need to leave this realm as soon as possible else itll really be bad .

He severed your link to the High Priestess but dont worry , Ive always been here , waiting for the chance to help you and to manifest to you finally You said he severed my connection to the Mother Liora ? I think thats the name of the High Priestess , No the wolf said .

The other one , whom you were holding hands with .

Shes a High Priestess too and … Nanny ? I snorted , trying to hold back my laughter .

Nice try but thats impossible .

Nanny is anything but a High Priestess .

I mean , maybe shes … This is killing me .

the wolf muttered Theres so much you dont know Lyla and I promise youll find all the answers but first , we must leave this realm .

I leaned back on the wall .

Why bother ? Im already lost .

I cant take out Xander again and Nanny is not here unless youre planning to jump out of my body .

Thats not how it works ! she sighed .

Youre not lost , youre trapped and theres a difference ….

big difference .

I can help you find a way out .

I was gradually losing interest but I had the decency to ask .

How ? First , you need to believe in me , the wolf said .

You need to trust that Im real .

That were real .

I dont do this but part of the reason why Ive been locked away for so long is because youre such a pessimist who is stuck in the past .

You dont hope for anything , you do not desire anything equally .

You dont take anything serious and you think just surviving is all you need but Lyla … you have a great responsibility to play … Here we go again ! I murmured .

Can you all give me a break from this endless drumming into my ears about responsibilities that I didnt choose ? I dont want this … I dont want to save any of them .

Not after what they did to me .

I cant .

So you want revenge Youd rather watch everyone die than do your job and save our world ? Its not our … its their world .

They rejected me and Im not interested in coming back as a hero .

I dont want to and I wont .

Yeah , because the world is such a fair place ! the wolf scoffed .

Listen , Lyla … I know you carry a lot of hurt but if you let it consume you , it becomes your darkness , the exact thing the Dark One would prey on .

I know you were humiliated and offended all your life because of your pheromones , guess what … youre going to have it for the longest time until you die .

What ? Yes ! That is your power .

Youre strongest when your pheromones are seeping into the air .

You do not just have those for the sexual exploration of it .

Of course , you can learn to control it and harness it properly to the extent that no one would know when youre on your heat but … Im sorry , you have to step up to your responsibilities .

People will die … our world … everyone you love … Ramsey , Nathan , your mom , your sister … every single person would die … only you can save them .

Im not sure I can do that .

What youre asking from me is too huge .

wait thats why youre made up of two worlds .

Theres me and then theres your power as a Übersinger Über the cleansing .

I come to you but first , you must give me a name , the wolf thought youre supposed to come with one .

Thats how other wolves manifest to their Tim not ocher wolves .

I am a fusion between silver moon and golden sun .

I was not created by the Moon Goddess like other woes … well technically wasnt Just a happenstance of two individuals who lost control and had you So.

I do not have a name .

The reason why the High Priestess could name … sense me .

My presence is different .

But that doesnt make me any less real .

Give me a pressed my palms against the cold floor , grounding myself as I processed the words .

But before I could respond a faint creak echoed through the room .

My body stiffened as I turned my head toward the sound .

The door was opening Light spilled into the room , silhouetting a tall figure that sent a chill down my spine .

Xander entered stalling over to me like a cat .

The door closed behind him , plunging us back into darkness except for the faint glow of his amber eyes .

Well well be dranded , his voice smooth and cold .

Look whos awake .

134 its either me or Ramsay ..
