*Jade's pnt. of view*
After waking up from that random, mind-boggling, mysterious, and bothersome dream, I found it hard to go back to sleep.
Not only did I have a splitting headache, but it wasn't quiet.
I mean my mind wasn't quiet.
I couldn't think, or maybe I was thinking too much.
The darkness of the night was silent, but the enlightenment from the dream caused an uproar of chaos in my mind.
Voices, all I heard were voices, and images were flashing in front of my eyes. Pictures, actions, and people. People that I don't remember. Names resonated in my ears, yet no one spoke. Events played in front of my eyes at times, in some I could hear music and laughter, and in others it was as quiet as if it were a silent movie.
And all this because of a dream... or was it a vision?
I don't know.
Anyways, due to my confused mind, and my inability to sleep, at the crack of dawn I found myself leaving the bed where a sleeping Lucas laid, and heading down to the kitchen.
I needed to cook. For some reason, I found peace when I cooked.
I had to figure out how I was going to deal with Lucas.
Lucas... waking up next to him this morning felt different, compared to waking up to him in the past. When our skin made contact as he shifted his body, goosebumps grew, and a chill just slithered down my spine, making me very uncomfortable which was highly unusual compared to the past.
The past...
Seriously what is the past? Do I even have a past with Lucas ? Everything is just so confusing. I mean as far as I can remember is at least the last month and few days ago. That's as far as I can go, afterwards everything is scrambled.
It used to be blank, but waking up from my dream or vision or whatever it was, everything is now scrambled.
I mean all of the sudden, I seem to remember all these names such as Damien, Sarah, Gared, Dean, Veronica, Daphne, Tyler, and of course Geyna. And then every now in then I will suddenly zone out, and it's as if a snippet of a show will play in mind.
The reason I say show is because everything is a flash. One moment I'll see guns, people being held hostage, fights, someone drenched in blood, and a girl kneeing some guy in the balls, and then in total contradiction, I'll see two adults in love, then two teenagers in love, I even saw a wedding.
See, all of that just doesn't make any sense. So I made up my mind, Lucas claims to love me, so I'm gonna test it out.
If he loves me he will tell me the truth when I ask.
Yes, he will tell me.
I mean he should tell me... right ?

I woke up to an empty bed, and a delicious aroma that wandered around the room.
Huh, guess Jade is cooking.
I got off the bed, and headed straight downstairs, hoping that Jade wasn't back to normal, but instead was still in her manipulative state of mind. Because then I could still use that as an advantage, and make her think that she is still Marley.
My own personal puppet.
With a hopeful smile, I hopped down the stairs, then sauntered my way over to the kitchen.

"Good morning Ja-Marley." Came Lucas' voice behind Jade.
There it was again, Jade thought, he almost slipped, he was about to call me Jade.
"Good morning." She replied, instead of voicing her thoughts.
Lucas eased his way towards Jade, and hugged her from the back, flushing her against his body.
"What you making?" He asked her, while nuzzling her neck, and Jade couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his touch, and it took all her willpower not to move away from his disturbing touch.
"Breakfast." She simply answered, trying to keep her tone calm, instead of disgusted.
"Mmh, good." Replied Lucas, then he kissed her on the cheek as he added "I'll set the table."
"Okay." Was all Jade replied.
Lucas noticed her lack of conversation, and he turned her around, then his eyes landed on the reddened skin around her left eye, and he instantly felt bad for striking her the previous night.
So he found himself lifting his hand and caressing the spot with his thumb as he whispered "I'm sorry baby."
Jade quickly turned her face, not wanting him to touch her as she said "Don't worry about it." She felt repulsed by him.
"No, I wanna make it up to you. I will make it up to you." He said determined.
Jade looked over at Lucas, and there was something in his eyes, a spurring emotion. No, not just one, but a raging sea of various emotions.
So she tested the waters by asking "you really want to make it up to me?"
"Yes. Yes! I do." Lucas enthusiastically answered.
"Good. Then answer this question." Jade said with a smile.
"Hit me with your best shot." Answered Lucas confidently.
Jade smiled, took her time and demanded "Who am I?"

"See...?" came my voice, as Jade looked at the picture.
"But- this just doesn't make sense..." She started to talk.
"In time it will, sooner than you think actually." I explained.
"What? What will make sense?" She asked, her voice suddenly becoming faint. As my mom's voice started ringing in my ear.
"In time." I quickly said before waking up to my mom saying
"Geyna, Geyna wake up baby." Came mommy's voice.
I opened my eyes to my mom's beautiful smile. Her name is Sarah and she almost looked like Jade, except Jade had light brown eyes, which she gets from my grandma, Sofia.
"Come on sweetie, get up. It's time for breakfast." She spoke, but her voice sounded funny, and her eyes looked red.
I think mommy was crying again. She has been crying ever since Jade was taken.
No one could really cheer her up, not even daddy, who gave her gifts, took her out, and gave her compliments all the time.
I wanted to cheer her up, so I said "mommy I saw Jade."
She seems surprised at first but then she smiled, but it was sad as she said "I know you miss her baby. We all miss her."
"No mommy, it's true. I saw her, in a dream." I whispered the last part, like when I tell her a secret.
"Oh really?" She asked, and she sounded like she wanted to hear more.
"Yes! But she didn't remember me. She thought her name was Marley, and she thinks that Lucas is her husband. But I reminded her that Dean is her fiancée."
"Well that is very sweet of you to remind her honey." Said mommy, but she didn't believe me. I could tell.
"Mom you don't believe me?" I asked, my feelings hurt. I was about to cry. I was telling her the truth, I wanted to make her smile.
"No, of course I believe you baby." She quickly said, noticing the tears that are building up in my eyes.
"Okay. But mommy?" I called.
"What is it baby?" She asked, another smile showing. Although she was sad, she made sure she smiled at my brother and daddy and I everyday, even if we could tell she was trying to be strong for us.
"I don't think Jade is okay. She seemed confused, and she thought she was this girl who looks kind of like her, but not quite." I tried to explain.
"And that girl's name is Marley right?" Mommy asked.
"Yes!" I said.
"And she thinks that Lucas is her husband." My mom added.
"Yep." I finished, proud that I was able to tell my mom about my dream.
"Well lucky you were there to tell her the truth. But now, you need to go take a shower, and come down for breakfast.
"Okay." With that I got out of bed, and ran to the bathroom.
*Sarah's pnt. of view*
I looked after Geyna as she hurried to the bathroom, meanwhile my mind wandered to what she told me about Jade.
She claims it was a dream, but maybe it was her imagination.
It's been over a month and few days since Jade was taken, and the police has no trace of Lucas.
Every time they think they've found something, a clue or evidence, they always end up at a dead end, and each time, my hope diminishes.
I know my baby can take care of herself, but can't blame a mom for worrying.
But now hearing all of this from Geyna, I am not sure what to think. I mean she can't be lying because she doesn't know that the person who took Jade was named Lucas, but then again she might have overhead it once when Damien and I were discussing it.
But if what she said is true, and she spoke to Jade through a dream, then good heavens Jade, what have you gotten yourself into?
