[SweetSuicide]

I felt his arms wrap around my shoulders and slowly and gently pull me up and flip me over at the same time. The pain from my side shot throughout my body. My breath was taken away from me. The world started spinning like someone had taken my body and threw it into a blender and put it to high. I closed my eyes to stop the spinning...
I opened my eyes and there was a bright light. I lifted my hand to shield my eyes. I couldn’t see anything except this white light. Shit, I thought to myself, I died... This wasn’t supposed to happen this way. I was supposed to die fighting with my friends. Dying to save them. Not this way. ‘But you didn’t die’ a voice responded. It was Swift. My heart started to race. He was lying next to me. I blinked a few more time and I realized where we were. We were back at the cave where we first met and tried to kill each other. We were facing the sky looking up into the sun. I put my hand down next to me and I felt his hand.
“If this isn’t real, and I’m not dead, what’s going on here?” I was generally confused at this current situation. This had to be a dream. He was two hours away from me and the cave was in another land. There was no physical way this could be. I turned onto my side to look at him. And there he was. It was Swift.
“This is a dream, in a way, my love.” His voice was calm. He did not look at me just yet. I could tell in his face he was trying to find the right words to say. “This is an alternate world. A world where there is no war and no fighting. A world of pure peace and joy. This is our world. Or, I should say, our future world. After the wars are over, and we win the final battle, this world becomes ours. There are going to be lives lost along the way to get here but that will come at a later time. Right now, what matters the most is what you have just found out. You are part dragon Suz and you can change into one of the strongest dragons out there.” Not once has he looked me yet… “Things are going to get darker before they can get to this point. But you must know, your mother is a trader. She told of us coming and of our plans. She had us all fooled. Her loyalty was to the dragons. You mustn’t be mad at her. She did not know it would get to this point. But, alas, it has gotten worse than we had planned. Now, I need you to do something for me.” He finally looked at me. It wasn’t Swift. It was Guntros. I could finally for the first time in a while see the man I had fallen in love with. I knew it wasn’t Swift because Guntros eyes. They were the brightest green I had ever seen. I knew this was the true man I loved but I had not seen him before.
“What is it Guntros?” It felt weird to say his name. But it rolled off my tongue and sounded right. Like that was the name I should’ve been saying all along. He leaned up and towered over me so the sun was totally blocked by his head. I could see in his eyes this was not going to be the last time I would see his eyes.
“You, and you alone, have to kill Aisha. I would never tell you this if I knew you could not handle it. But the only way to win this war is if you defeat her. The fate of the world rests on your shoulders Suz, but, you will not be alone. The friends you have will be there but you have to be the one that kills her. For if someone else does, you will die.” His eyes dropped and looked at me over one last time. “I love you Suz and it is for that reason I tell you this. You have to succeed. There is no other way.” He leaned down and kissed me. Before I could say anything to him, he was gone. I was alone in the cave. I knew what I had to do… But to kill my own mother? I could not think of that just yet. But I had to tell the others. I closed my eyes and drifted back into this sleep..
I awoke to find Kam standing over me. The look of fear in his eyes was as clear as day.
“We have to get going. There’s no time to explain but my mother is a trader.” The sudden will to get up and fight motivated me to jump up and almost knock Kam over. “This is war now.”
