Chapter 385 - THE PURPLE SPEEDSTER AND THE ORACLE (4)

Even though she said she wished he didn't come, truth was, she was also kind of excited to meet him and nervously waiting for him.

Will is not the only one that sees thing in that vision. She saw it too. It fills her with a contradiction. She wanted to see him but at the same time she doesn't want to.

It is only humans that is this complicated.

In about ten minutes they finished eating. There is a trace of satisfaction on Erika face.

Will put down his spoon as he finished his meal.

'I am finished' he said

'Me too' Erika sighed and then she got up from her seat and walk to the balcony. Will follow her from behind

They look at the sea from their high hills and they saw the waves kissing the beach.

There is a weird silence as they looked ahead. For a moment both of them just enjoyed this night view without saying anything.

And no one wanted to be the first to break this scene. But then anything good must have an end.

There is no banquet that last forever.

Will then asked.

'What I saw…. what is it?'

Erika close her eyes. It was like what she is about to say is very important and could even determine the fate of all creation.

She then slowly opens her eyes back. She already gathered her courage and determination.

She made a promise to herself if the vision in her dreams come true, if the Speedster comes into her home like the dreams she dreams, then she promised that she would see this through the end.

Even at the cost of her eyes. Even at the cost of her life. She would not falter and she would give up.

Because if the Speedster comes, then that means her dreams is true.

'You must have your own assumptions and thoughts about what you see. And I am here to tell you that it is as you thought' Erika said

'My future?' Will ask for confirmation

'One of your future' she said

'What does that supposed to mean?' he asked. Erika look at the distance, sighed and said

'Well…. the future is not yet written. We still have time' she said.

Will thought about it. He looks at Erika and the shakes his head.

'But…...what is that eye? And why did he kill me?' he asks. Erika who is standing beside Will look toward his eyes and stare at it.

Both of them gaze into each other eyes and both of them feel it. That familiarity of feelings. Both of them avert their gaze at the same time.

'Even I only saw glimpses' Erika said while trying to hide the trembling in her tone of voice.

Then Erika turned to look toward Will once again and could not help but notice Will body. She sees more than just the muscular tough body of Will.

She might be taken but that doesn't mean she did not enjoy looking at other men. She notes there is a Time energy swirling around him that could not seen by the naked eye

'You got an upgrade' she said

Will nodded

'I got good luck' he said nonchalantly. Erika just scoffed at his offhanded comment. Then she said

'Time…...is quite weird. It does not have any definite answer and if you think too much about it you could even get crazy. Since you have Time energy you could see some glimpse of future. That is not quite a good ability to have. Everyone think if you have the ability to see the future your life would be smooth sailing. Truth is, nothing come without a Price. You understand why right?'

Will nodded

'Because you would always question yourself whether the decision you made is correct or not. And that fear and uncertainty would surely block your way forward' Erika just nodded solemnly

Then she added

'Yes, unless you have the full knowledge of what is going to happen, a true chronicle of what is about to happen, nothing is quite certain and nothing is quite easy as one would imagine. Unless you could count the factors and the causal effect with absolute precision, one would be always control by Time, Fate and Destiny. And we both don't have that kind of ability. We were only blessed or cursed depending on how you choose to see this ability, to see some glimpses of the future and be wrecked by uncertainty and fear'

Will did not say anything. He instead closes his eyes and let the wind of the island blows over him. He sighed. There is no good answer and there is no true certainty.

He opens his eyes back up.

Erika waited for him and then smiling she said

'We only see glimpses. And we fear that glimpses of the future would change how we would act and instead produced the very result we don't want to happen. Kind of like a self-fulfilled prophecy'

Will nodded. They once again look at each other eyes. It seems like there is still something left unsaid. But both of them doesn't seem to know how to broach the subject.

Will sighed and is about to walk away. Erika tightened her fist as she waist. But Will said nothing. She sighed and then she shouted from behind him

'Is that the only reason you came?' she asked. She tries to sound calm but there is an unmistakable nervousness in her voice. Wil also notice sit. His steps stopped.

Will think for a moment what he is about to say. He has one more question. No, he has a lot of more question. But he fears to break the peace. So, he couldn't let the words come out of his mouth.

So the only thing he could do is he nodded and he is about to go away. But Erika is not going to let him go that easy.

'Wait' Will sighed and turned back

'What?'

'You are not shaken?' Erika asked

'Why would I?' Will ask back. Erika was shocked at how calm Will is being. Instead it was she that is slowly becoming angrier at Will.

Could he not know that she is talking about these to help him avert a disaster? Why would he treat this so easily and so unimportantly?

'You saw that your own sworn bother killing you and turns you into dust. That don't shake you? Wow, you are really a badass' Erika said with a mocking tone and Will expression hardens.

'What do you mean by that?'

'I mean the decision you made now would probably shape that future. So, don't go back there. And don't lie to me that you only came here because of the vision you saw in the dream'

Will did not say anything but his forehead clearly creased.

'I know you saw another vision' she said

'How do you know?' Will said as calmly as he could.

Erika laugh bitterly and said

'All of this has happened before. It is just that is happening again. Maybe not in the right order…and a little bit different but it still happens'

Will sighed.

'We will meet again…right?' Will suddenly asked. No one could understand why Will ask these question suddenly but Erika could understand.

'Probably…. maybe' Erika reply, and there is an accepting expression on Will face after hearing Erika answer

Then he said

'Forgive me when that time comes'

'Don't. There is nothing to forgive. There must be a reason why I did those things. As there must be reason why you will help Death Monarch in that quest. We all have our parts to play. We just don't know what our parts is yet'

Will chuckles bitterly and then ask

'Even you?' Erika nodded and reply

'Even me'

'Hmm. That sucks.' There is a silence again in the second floor of this house. The sound of the waves sounded again and the wind blows on them.

Then Will asked.

'Who did I saw in my dream?' Will asked again.

He could guess but he wanted to make sure. Because what happens and her answer would probably change how he treats this woman…for many reason other than the obvious.

Erika then asked back

'Don't you already know?'

'Still need you to say it' Will reply. Erika only shakes her head but she answered the question

'Probably future me. No…I am quite sure that is the future me' Will scoffed and then said what he remains left unsaid before
