Presence In My Head

I slowly opened my eyes to the darkness and somewhat familiar room. I squinted my eyes to adjust them in the dark and I can see the room but still, my head is hazy and I am having a hard time recognizing the place.

I heard the door unlocking and turned my head towards the door to see Emily walking in with a tray.

" Hey! Are you feeling fine?" She whispered.

" Am I at my house?" I croaked out feeling my throat dry. How much longer was I out? I was eating chicken with Emily before I felt the same pain and collapsed.

" No, I brought you to my house because if your parents and brothers would have seen you passed out then they would never permit you to go to the palace." She confessed guiltily.

" Hey! You don't need to feel guilty, Em. You did it for me and I appreciate it." She saved me from my parents and brothers' concerns and worries. They will surely object to the idea of me going to the palace and I can't afford it after today.

" I know but still, Aiza! I am feeling like a criminal." We both burst out laughing at her words. She is such a breath of fresh air and I need her in my life and in this journey of finding out who my mate is and what is happening to me.

" Ah! I forgot to tell you that I have brought a potion which will help you with these surprise pains." She took a small bottle from the nightstand beside me and placed it in my hand.

" Where did you find this?" I asked, surprised that there is a potion to stop these pains. I have never heard about it and I never even heard of a mate cheating on his mate. I am being so bitter about it when I don't even know if the main reason for my pains and visions is because of a mate bond.

" I prepared it with the help of an elder witch who lives in the woods." She said, sitting beside me.

" Did I pass out for a long time?" I inquired. What if my parents are worried that I have not arrived home? I frantically stood up from the bed and started looking for my bag.

" Woah! Calm down, you were out for an hour and a half and I already informed your parents that you are with me so don't need to worry." I took a deep breath and sat on the bed.

" I just don't want to worry them, they are already so worried because of me." Tears started streaming down my face, everything started coming at once which happened in the past few days.

Everything is so overwhelming and suffocating me. There is no correct answer for anything which happens and the only question which is standing proudly is what is happening to me and why.

Emily took me into her arms and I completely broke down. I can't take it anymore, I have been bottling up everything inside me. She started rubbing my back soothingly trying to calm me down but nothing was working.

There is this pain and anger started growing inside me like everything is going to burn down with my anger. My slow sobs turned into screaming when I felt my body start feeling hot and anger started consuming my body.

Emily flew across the room and my body started flowing in the air with a glow. My eyes are hazy and I can't see anything properly and my body feels like it's on fire.

I squinted my eyes to look clearly and when I did that my vision got better and I saw a very startled Emily sitting in a corner with wide eyes and a mouth looking at me like she had seen a ghost.

I suddenly felt a ringing in my ears and head and my body slowly came down and I plopped to the ground with a thud and instantly I covered my ears to stop the ringing but it was like there was no switch to turn off the noise which was making my head buzz.

" Oh My God! Aiza! What happened?" Emily rushed to my side but her footsteps and her voice were making my head throb and the ringing intensified. I don't know what is happening to me.

" Aiza! Are you alright? What is happening to you? Is your head painting?" Emily started shooting questions my way but they are annoying me and I once again feel my body grow hot. Why is this happening to me? This is different from the time I felt the pain. This feels like someone is pushing hard in my head to enter like knocking on my head to make the place for itself.

" E…E…Emily! P…..please……" It is so difficult to utter the words due to the ringing and pain. I want this to stop, if it doesn't stop then I am going to die here on the cold floor.

" Shhh, it's okay, I am here with you Aiza. I will do something." I don't know if she can help me with my situation as she didn't know what was happening and neither did I know.

I was so stuck on hearing Emily's words that suddenly a blinding light erupted in my body and my head felt like a huge stone had slipped on it and the pain wrecked my body leaving a shrill scream. It feels like I will pass out with the pain but suddenly everything goes silent and I can feel the change around me and in me. It's like the pain and ringing never happened nor did the gut-wrenching pain that I experienced seconds before.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, my head is laying on Emily's lap and she is removing my hair from my face. Sweat is clinging to my body and my body feels like it is wrecked by a vehicle.

I opened my mouth to tell Emily that I am alright but suddenly I felt a presence in my head. I can't explain how I know that someone is in my head but I know that someone is inside my head and I can feel the presence.

" Aiza!" My body jerked up in surprise hearing the voice in my head. The voice is feminine but strong and confident. Who is she? And what is that? How can I be able to feel someone inside my head and what the actual fudge had happened in a minute? How many more surprises are waiting for me? I am so tired of all these changes and surprises.

" Aiza! Are you okay? What happened?" Emily asked, concern filling her features. How can I explain to her what I am experiencing now? Will she think that I have lost my mind and am blabbering like an idiot?

I don't know if I can explain it to her without sounding like an idiot but I have to tell her so she can find out what happened and she is the only one who can Help me to unravel everything.

I turned my head towards her to explain it to her but her eyes are already moving along my body from my hair to my face. Why is she looking at me like that? She has worry, Awe, and surprise on her face.

Looking at her face indicates that she has more questions for me than I have for her but whatever it maybe I need to take everything in control as I don't want to be vulnerable and without having control over my body and head.
