Chapter 220 A Sweet Nightmare
Rudy opened his eyes and saw a familiar ceiling. Conflicted, he blinked a couple of times before sitting up on the bed and glancing around to realize he was indeed in his room.
"What the fuck?" That was the first thing to come out of his mouth.
"Don't tell me all that was a dream?! No, no. There is no way." Rudy checked his body and found himself naked.
"Did I… teleport back home?" Rudy wondered. "I do remember saying I miss home before I drifted to sleep."
Rudy got up from the bed and left his room, forgetting that he was butt naked.
"I didn't realize I could teleport between worlds. But…" Rudy raised his brows in confusion and muttered, "Jane was on top of me, so she should have teleported with me as well, right?"
After realizing Jane might be in his house, he hurried downstairs and rushed to Rebecca's room, but it was empty.
"Has mom not returned from her shift yet? She did go late, so maybe she is doing extra hours to make up for it?"
"I don't have my phone either, and I am sure she must have tried to contact me."
Rudy checked the remaining rooms to look for Jane, but she was nowhere to be seen.
"Maybe Jane couldn't teleport with me? But I can't be certain! I have to take a look around to confirm it!"
Rudy rushed to his room to get dressed, but he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched.
"Wait, if I was able to teleport out, can I also teleport back to the vampire world without waiting for the full moon?" Rudy asked himself.
Rudy tried to teleport there, but he couldn't.
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. "What if Jane feels betrayed? She would think I used her body to satisfy my lust and threw her aside."
"Dammit!" He punched the wall, but he soon regretted that.
He was looking at the ground and punched the wall in anger. He gulped nervously, assuming the wall would be shattered into pieces, but much to his surprise, when he looked up, the wall was perfectly fine. Instead, Rudy's fist had started bleeding, followed by intense pain.
"Wha……t?" He looked at his fist with a confused look on his face. "How?"
Rudy was so shocked after seeing the blood coming out of his fist that he forgot about the pain. But he couldn't endure it for long.
He fell to his knees and muttered, "Could it be that… that Jane stole my powers? No, that's not possible."
Rudy shook his head and said, "If that was the case, I wouldn't have teleported back here."
"What are you doing?" a familiar voice asked.
Rudy jerked his head to the voice to see Angelica standing in the doorway of his room.
Rudy got up and hugged her tightly before saying, "Thank fuck. I don't care if I lose my powers, but I didn't want to lose the ability to be able to see and touch you."
That showed how Rudy cared more about his lovers rather than his powers.
Angelica hugged Rudy back and said, "You haven't lost your powers."
"Huh?"
Angelica looked Rudy in the eyes and said with a serious look on her face: "You are in a dream."
"What?!" Rudy exclaimed.
"You are currently dreaming," Angelica repeated herself.
"What do you mean?! I am in my room, and you are in front of me. I can touch and feel you. Heck, I am having a conversation with you. How can this be a dream?!"
Angelica pointed her gaze at the closed window in Rudy's room and said, "Why don't you look outside the window."
"……" Rudy was both curious and anxious. But he reluctantly decided to do what Angelica asked him to do.
However, when he opened the window, there was nothing outside. All he could see was the never-ending space with no light.
"What's going on?"
"As I said, this is a dream." Angelica closed the window and held Rudy's hand— which was bleeding— in her hands. "You can control everything in your dreams. Just thinking of your wound getting healed, and it shall get healed."
Rudy looked at his hand, and it had already started healing.
"Okay. Now I have more questions." RUdy sat on the bed and asked, "What's going on? I mean…. Why am I here? And… are you truly Angelica?"
Rudy inspected Angelica from head to toe, and she indeed looked like Angelica. However, she was acting differently.
"Why are you acting… distant?"
Angelica spread her arms while pointing at the things in the room and said, "This is where I live."
"Hmm?"
"When I am inside your body, this is how I perceive things. Currently, you are sleeping, and your eyes are closed, and that's why everything is dark outside. I see what you see from your eyes through the window."
"Oh…"
"I don't know why your house. When I entered your body for the first time, it was already there. I am not complaining, but you now know why my voice sometimes sounds different when I am inside your body."
"I see…"
Rudy touched his bed and other things to understand how it all worked. But he was more eager to know about Angelica.
"Why do you… don't get me wrong, you look exactly the same. But the Angelica I know is touchy and a pervert. While you haven't done anything Angelica would," he said with an awkward smile on his face.
"I am Angelica. Your Angelica."
Rudy squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you angry about something?"
Angelica shrugged her shoulders and replied, "Who knows?"
"Oh, so you are sulking too." Rudy pulled Angelica close to him and sat her on his lap.
As Rudy had expected, Angelica tried to break free and get off his lap, but Rudy easily overpowered her and pinned her on the bed.
"Tell me. Why are you pouting?"
Angelica turned her face to the side and said, "I hate you."
