Weird Dreams #7
You need to stick near this boy that makes your head sing.
Since you won’t tell me where you are currently, I’ll pray to Achelous that he’s strong.
He’d better protect you or he will contend with me.
I’m looking for our other brother, the one you know of.
I’m guessing you won’t tell me more details about him that would let me find him faster.
If you won’t tell me where you are, at least keep in contact. I’ll earn your trust while I’m looking for you. I won’t stop. I’m not going to lie to you and say that I will wait for you to tell me where you are, I won’t. I will look everywhere.
It may take me until you tell me where you are to find you, because mother is quite skilled at hiding things. It’s a talent of hers, and she has hidden you well. Mom’s a very smart woman, unfortunately. Just know, I’m looking.
I know you won’t believe me, but from the moment I heard about you a piece of my heart belongs to you, little sister. I should’ve been there for all these moments that we were robbed of. I’m doing what I can to keep Luke away from you.
If he slips by me, I will have failed you again. It’s been suggested I let him slip me to see if he leads me to you, but I won’t allow that. If Luke gets to you again, it will not be because I let him get away. I will do my best to follow him if he does.
Luke has an affinity for being in the shadows though. If you end up here, Luke will not be able to stop me from getting to you. I do love you already, little sister. You are quite funny.
No one is upset with you. We are worried.
Our other brothers would like to email you as well.
Can I give them your email address? Please write back to me, Odette.
I need to know you are safe. If you feel so led as to tell me where you are, I’ll come get you.
You’re not going to get ‘whacked’ either. You’ve watched too many movies.
Your Older Brother,
Caspian
I gasped because that meant Caspian was in that dream too? He really has a seat made of seashells? That’s weird. I guess we are really related considering I’m weird and so is he. I took another big drink and stretched my hands in front of me then started to type.
Caspian (possible big brother who is not the mob but something mob Esque)
First, it’s books. I read several mafia book series. This is all giving: The Future Don and His Hidden Princess vibes. Except Luke isn’t Liam, my song boy is. Which would mean he’s also in the mob. Then I’d have to conclude EVERYONE is in the mob.
I’m obviously Connie in this scenario and Luke would be Andrew Esque. Because Andrew wasn’t in the mob, but he was part of a sicko family and that seems to fit Luke. I could give you a whole run down, but Connie had a bunch of brothers on her dad’s side. You’re my mom’s side though.
Honestly, if Kings were still around, I’d say you’re one of those with your seashell throne. You are into the ocean so maybe you are the Irish Mob like the book. Ireland has a lot of water surrounding it. It’s tracking for me.
It was a pretty throne, but very strange. Your shouty capitals in your subject lines are cracking me up. You do know that’s yelling, right? Or has no one ever taught you emailing etiquette? I could see the answer being a combination honestly.
How can you not be accustomed to saying please?
Hello silver spoon in mouth baby. I’m jealous LOL.
Seriously, though I’m going with this King theory.
Are you a King? *coughs* Or a Don? Is that why mom thinks arranged marriages are cool?
She’s stuck in the wrong century? With the rest of our family. LOL
By the way, mob’s arrange marriages too so this whole convincing me you aren’t the mob is going poorly. In fact it’s really solidifying for me. You do have a sort of accent now that I think about it. Are you the Irish mob? I’m totally in a book.
Mom being the literal worst is no surprise to me.
Have no fear though, she didn’t tell me a single thing about you guys.
One time she mentioned I wouldn’t be like the “others.” I guess I’m operating under the assumption you and the five guys who looked at me while I was talking are the “others.” Well, my brother Lux too.
He’s “others” I’m saying others a lot. Forgive me, I don’t drink much.
I can’t imagine mom as loving mother. Her latest boyfriend is making her the happiest I’ve seen her. She’s talking about having another kid. The guy is pretty cool and I know him. So, I’d make sure our sibling had their dad in their life. Unlike me.
Now that I know about your dad though, I feel awful. If the guy who makes my head sing did what mom’s doing, I don’t know how he’s functioning. My song boy has me being a mess already and he didn’t do anything.
My song boy and me had a fight. I told him to stay away from me. To be fair, his ex is a psycho. I fought these red eyed, rabies infected wolves. I’d swear one of them became my puppet though. I looked in his eyes and told him to go away.
I guess in his rabies riddled brain that made him my puppet because then I told him to attack the other rabies wolves; and he did. It was SO WEIRD. Everything with my song boy is moving so fast, and he seems to think it’s normal and natural.
It feels like it’s normal, but it’s not. Right? I can’t be devastated about being away from him right now. We’ve been on one date, I need to find some chill. That’s a thing that I need to do. It was a great date though.
Since I’m leaning into the theory you were the dude on the seashell throne, I could totally see you as a good guy. You struck me as fair but fierce. Like you could be deadly if you wanted to. Like a Don, ya know the mob boss, just saying. Don’t type back with shouty capitals!
I am not with Luke. We broke up. I have no reason to get back together with him, nor would I believe anything he said. You have no idea what he did to me. There is no trust between him and I. I guess if he kidnaps me, and you hear I’m with him, you could call the police.
No need for anyone to be killed because then you could go to jail. That would be sad. Luke doesn’t live in this state, but I’m guessing you’re from where he is. If he took me back there, then it’s a federal crime because he would’ve crossed state lines. So, just tell the F.B.I. if I go missing.
My song boy is dreamy and handsome. His muscles have muscles. People say he filled out over the last semester he was away. I saw a picture of him in the trophy case the other day, and he was still pretty big. He is bigger now though.
None of that matters though because I’m taking space from him.
Everything is too fast and too much. We need to be normal teenagers who have been on one date.
It feels like I’m going to die from space though.
Everything hurts. Physically, I’m actually in pain.
Which is INSANE! It’s probably the alcohol.
I could email you when I log into this account.
I’m signing in and out and not checking it very often because you’ve totally got an IT guy trying to track me down.
In the books it was Aidan and Nolan. Aidan was Connie’s brother.
Are any of my brother’s good with computers?
I need a whole comparison with the books now.
Which means I need to find who the Nolan in my song boy’s family is, since Nolan is Liam’s brother. I guess mom’s new boyfriend is in IT too if you haven’t managed to find me. Which is something a mob boss would do, just saying.
I guess if you find me, you find me. If mom makes us move again and I told you where we moved, would you come get me? I’d miss my song boy. That’s still crazy, but maybe you could bring me to see him. I haven’t seen mom since she left though so she must be liking this guy.
Mom is skilled at hiding things? That’s a strange talent to have.
I don’t know her that well though, so I’ll go with you there.
I guess I could email you if Luke shows up.
I’m confident my song boy could kick his ass.
I don’t know why, but I know he would for me.
Space sucks. Why did I ask for space? I don’t want space. THIS IS CRAZY IT WAS ONE DATE UGH!
A really good date. He bought me a milkshake. Have you had one? They are SO good. Are you sure you want a crazy little sister like me? I’d like to say I’m not normally so crazy but my head has been hissing and sings now so that ship has sailed.
OMG, YOU ARE SO RIGHT! Luke can be in the shadows. I didn’t even know he was around several times then he just appeared like a snake. A slithering snake in my grass, that’s what he is. A snake. I hate him. Ohhhhh, I do.
Luke had me locked up. He injected me with something that burned and made me want to die.
I’m surprised I didn’t. It hurt so freaking bad.
Then he just left me in that awful place with those horrible people.
Although I might have had a side effect where the cold doesn’t bother me now.
It used to. I almost froze to death once in a place mom left me with no heat.
I suppose you could give the other “brothers” (jury is still out on me believing you all about that) my email. I’ll check it occasionally, I guess. I can’t stay on for too long, or your version of Aidan could track me. Probably.
Or is that just a phone call? I don’t know.
Maybe I do watch too much television. You said movies though.
I do watch a lot of both as I’m often alone.
What else is there to do? I do still read the mob books though.
Mom took my fantasy books. I still love those books though; I just have to read them at the library.
