Prologue - Dreaming Relieves the Soul
"I love you, don't forget that, alright? And don't worry, you'll be fine, I promise you that." My brother held me in his arms, refusing to let go. A single tear slid down his cheek, he never was one to cry. I raised my hand to his face and wiped the tear away. My chest was on fire, and it hurt to breathe. I flashed my brother a soft smile before I faded off to sleep.
"Sweety, are you alright? Come on, it's time to wake up or you'll be late for school." I look up to see my mother drying her hands and leaning against my doorframe. I always hated mondays, the beginning of the week and so far from the weekend. I just nodded to my mother and she left.
I never dream, is that odd? Whenever I sleep, I just remember fragments of my memories. No pictures come to mind, just these voices. Mine narrating and then my brother. Oh- my dearest brother, he went off to college a few years ago and I miss him! It hurt whenever I think about him..
I quickly jump out of bed, closing my door as I rush to my closet. I had a light nightgown on so it didn't take long to slip out of that and put on my clothing. A band shirt, a light vest, jeans and nike's. Quickly brushing back my long hair and putting it underneath a hat, I jogged out of my house and into my backyard.
I still had plenty of time before school, and we have a pond in our backyard and I like to relax while wasting my time beside it. I stand before the pond, my mirror image staring back at me. I touched the tranquil water and let it ripple underneath my finger. I glanced up to see a white rabbit on the opposite side of the pond, it was wearing a red waistcoat, a clock slung over its shoulder, and glasses.
I couldn't help but giggle as I quickly walked around the pond. When I was a few feet away, the rabbit stiffened and broke off down the pond and into the forest. Defying all logic in me, I ran after it. Not the smartest move as this was a rabbit wearing clothing.. and I'd be late to school, but that was the least of my worries.
"My, my, you're a curious one, aren't you?" A voice resonated throughout the forest as I glanced around wildly, looking for the rabbit that I had lost site of. It was a male voice, probably a little older than me but I wasn't positive.
Note: Let me know if I should continue this. It was created on a whim, and it's definetley not the best I've written.. but let me know if you'd like to see more! Of course, I wouldn't start this back up until Tourniquet and Before The Dawn are done, but this may or may not be my next story! Please let me know what you think, and vote on the poll on my profile, it'll also help if you wish for me to continue this. ^-^
