Ajax

Chapter 35

(Dream)
I was in the woods. It looked beautiful here though very peaceful. There was a lake and some flowers scattered around. It looked like it came right out of a family tale. There were soft giggles coming from somewhere. I turned and followed them. A little boy hugged me by my legs.

"You found me." He laughs as I pick him up. He looks like a mini Ajax. I feel as if I were being watched and the boy in my arms started to scream and cry into my neck. While I tried to comfort him I look for what was happening. A wolf came from the other side of the trees.

I sat up and I felt beads of sweat fall down my face. I looked to see a guy smiling at me. He had pointy teeth and casual shorts and red shirt on.

"Evil nightmares." He chuckles and jumps out the window. Ajax comes in and jumps out the window after him. Standing I go take a shower to relax my nerves. Who was the boy? And why was he screaming?

After my shower I make some hot chocolate and close and lock all windows and doors except the back one. It's been a few hours since Ajax left and I'm still a little shaken up. Who the shark man? Why was my dream so weird? Who was the boy? Why did the boy look like Ajax? Was the boy Ajax ? Why was this boy screaming and crying? I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I jumped slightly.

"I'm here." Ajax whisper kissing my cheek from behind. It felt like his lips burned a hole in my cheek.

"What happened to the guy..?" I asked turning to look at him. He looked like he showered and his face was blank hiding all emotions.

"I beat his face in with a tree then burned him." He says sitting next to me on the couch.

"Wow." I couldn't help but laugh. He seemed to relax. This isn't Jax.

"I went to the pack house to clean up myself before coming home. What was your dream about?" The imposter asked. I look at him. Jax can already read my thoughts and he would know what the dream was about. Who was he? I didn't even feel sparks with him sitting next to me.

"It was about me drowning." I lie easily.

"Oh. That's so sad I'm sorry to hear that baby. What about anything else any signs?" He asked. Yup this was Ajax for sure. I played along though.

"No just me drowning in a lake or something." I answer him. I can feel Jax's presence. The fake Jax rubs my arm comforting me. I burns like fire. I just flash a fake smile in return seeing Jax behind him. I feel the hand on me tense when Ajax breathed loudly.

"Are you serious?" Ajax asked. Anger was clearly heard. The fake Ajax pales.

"Do what you have to." I mumble. Ajax beats the crap out of the guy. I winced when he yelled for mercy and every time I heard something crack then all was silent. Jax cleaned up the mess, taking the body outside and scrubbing the blood off the walls and floor.

"We're leaving tomorrow morning." He says. I nod not turning to look at him. He was naked and all dirty. After 20 minutes Ajax turns off the tv I was obviously watching. "I'm sorry." He grabs my hands and kisses them both.

"For?" I asked.

"Not staying in room with you." He says.

"And.." I trail off.

"Being gone all day." He adds.

"And..." I say again.

"That's all because that's all I'm sorry for." He kisses my lips lightly.

"What about for.." I start but he kisses me.

"I'm not sorry for anything else." He says seriously. I growl lightly and he pulls me into his lap. "So about the dream.. You think it's a message?" He asked.
