Chapter 6
Edna
My eyes fluttered open.
There was darkness around me and some kind of white mist filled the space.
Right then and there, I knew I was in one of my 'dreams' again.
I don't know if my dreams of this wild and powerful man was just a figment of my imagination and wild fantasies.
Some part of me knew it was highly unlikely.
I would not torture myself like this. I would reveal his face the moment I dreamed of him.
His presence killed any motivation to find a life partner. All the men and boys I met didn't meet the imaginary bar I set for myself. I was on my way to doom.
Since I was sure that my dreams weren't by my power, my quest to know more about this guy increases the more I interact with him. "Heartbeat, you are here." His magnetic voice said, "I have missed you."
The mist faded away a little.
I could see a dim silhouette in the darkness.
The bright golden eyes stared at me like I was prey.
A tingling sensation ran down my spine.
The man came nearer to my position.
Hia warm finger trailed its way along my cheek to my neck.
My throat moved and I swallowed.
"Who are you?" I managed to say.
He chuckled.
His voice made the space we were on smaller.
"You will know soon. All you need to know is that I am your partner for life. You are mine." He declared.
I bit my lips when I heard his words.
Who does he think he is?
I am my own person, not his possession.
"I am sorry but you are wrong. I don't belong to anybody. I am a free person." I argued.
His golden eyes flashed and his hands cupped my chin.
He moved closer to me.
I leaned backwards.
His momentum was too oppressive to me.
I felt like my breath hung in my throat at his predatory gaze.
"You are wrong about something, heartbeat." He started as his hand tightened a little.
His hands didn't hurt me but his hold reinforced his presence.
He occupied everything I could see and breath.
"What?" I managed to grit out.
My lips felt like a desert.
My tongue darted out of my lips and moisturized my dry lips.
His eyes darkened when he saw my action.
His face was slightly recognizable.
Something was still veiling him from me though.
I could not see how he looked like but I could notice some clues.
His face was filled with more hard edges than soft curves.
His build was on the huge size.
The muscles filling his body was noticeable. Still, it wasn't bulky and weird.
"You are mine and you will always be mine. Anyone that touches you would pay for it with their lives." He promised in a dark tone.
Surprise filled my green eyes.
"What do you mean?" I demanded, "You don't own me! If I want to get a boyfriend right now, I will! You think a man in my dreams would stop me?! Keep dreaming!"
The man's laughter broke the silence that appeared after my words like a time bomb.
His laughter sounded like music to my ears.
'Focus Edna!' I chided myself.
This wasn't the time to be besotted by the strange man in my dream.
He wanted possession of me. That can not be possible.
"Fierce kitten. I really love you to death. I can see why destiny paired me with you." He said with a smile on his lips.
I don't know how I knew that he was smiling. I just knew.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"I am not joking here." I said in a cold tone.
"I know. Still, your words are funny." He said, "You have just reminded me of something though. I should.leave my mark on you, it would show any riffraff with no sense of self that you belong to me." My heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean?"
"Heartbeat, I mean this." He said before leaning downwards.
His lips connected with my neck.
His hands adjusted their positions to cradle me to his hot body.
A piercing pain brought my attention back to him.

"You bit me?!" I questioned in disbelief, "Are you an animal?"
I struggled to get out of his hold.
It wasn't working.
His warm tongue licked the area he bit carefully.
He straightened his posture and stared into my eyes.
"There it is. My mark should answer all your questions, right?" He said with an amused voice.
Anger surged through me along with some unknown emotions I didn't want to explore. Those unknown emotions were better left unexplored.
The man began to fade away and the space we were in brightened up slowly.
A few moments later, the light became blinding.
I closed my eyes.
After a few minutes, the light faded and I opened my eyes again.
The bedroom the residential building G assigned to Renee and I came into my view.
The white ceiling assured me that I was back at my room.
I sat up from the bed.
Sweat soaked my body.
It was the usual occurrence.
"What's wrong?" Renee asked as she sat up on her bed.
"Go back to whatever you are doing. It is just a bad dream." I said.
For some reason, the area the man in my dreams bit me at, was a little painful and numb.
My eyes changed.
It must not be what I am thinking.
"Renee, sorry for the disturbance. Can you look at my neck for me? Is there anything there?" My voice trembled as I spoke.
I walked to Renee's bed.
Thankfully, she had not gone back to sleep yet.
She peered at my neck.
Renee gasped, "Wow, so beautiful."
My heart sank.
"Is something there?" I asked again.
"Yes. There is a black mark in the shape of a crown. It is like a tattoo." She replied, "When did you get it? I didn't even notice it in the past."
'That was because it wasn't even there until I woke up a few seconds ago.' I completed Renee's sentence in my mild grumpily.

My eyes widened to their limits.
The mark the man made in my dream appeared in reality.
It was inconceivable for me.
I had to pause a little to wrap my head around this new development.
"Is something wrong?" Renee asked in concern.
It seems like I was showing my feelings too clearly.
I waved her away, "Nothing's wrong. I am just thinking of some unpleasant stuff."
"Okay. If you say so." She replied before laying down on the bed.
My hand landed on my neck.
After putting the pain aside, I could not feel anything different about that area on my neck.
It was magical.
"Attention all residents! Attention all residents! The Higher-ups has discovered an habitable planet. All residents should go to the assembly square for the news that is about to be shared." A mellow female voice came from the white speaker at the area the ceiling meets the wall.
On normal days, the speaker is usually quiet.
Today was the fifth day after getting on the spaceship.
I learnt that the government made limited amounts of spaceships. All the spaceships filled with the hope of humanity combined into one huge battleship.
Everybody, regardless of race and skin was grouped together.
The government, also known as the higher-ups, opened the windows on the battleship after we left Earth's atmosphere.
I saw the Earth being destroyed.
The surface of the earth was overrun with lava.
Nothing can survive on earth anymore.
Each resident has daily points assigned my the higher-ups.
It was only enough for basic maintenance.
If any human wants more points and privileges, they have to work for it.
I don't know what kind of job I want to try for now so I did not apply for any jobs.
I was still living on the basic points the leaders gave.
I didn't know how long this battleship would drift in space so I have to plan my future well.
Hearing this news from the leaders of humanity came as a great surprise.
I glanced at the speaker before settling my gaze on Renee.
"Renee, let's go. I don't want to miss anything." I said.
I want to know why the leaders didn't just do a takeover of the planet instead of announcing the news this early.
