CHAPTER TWO
"dreamcatcher."
I wake in my uniform,
in my sweat,
in his bed.
I wait.
Eyes close.
Breath slows.
And it comes again.
As the organs played, the woman in white walked
down the aisle
with steps like a spider's. Silent,
only her red lips
were seen, both ends raised.
Her eyes barely hid behind the thin veil.
The man (a very nice man)
stood in
black. His warm chocolate eyes watched
as the woman in white walked towards him.
Their eyes spoke for themselves,
'I love you.'
The ceremony ended with the couple's kiss.
They held it longer than expected
with their arms wrapped around each other, and laughter grew in
the left side of the audience. Sitting in benches,
the women wore colourful dresses that cupped their body while the men wore the traditional suits.
On the right, there were just tears.
As the newly wedded ran out the doors, all eyes followed. And a small body tailed after them.
'Wait for me!' the eight year old girl cried. As her arms swung back and forth, the dead flowers tumbled in the woven basket.
'Lanna, come back!'
She could hear that girl call her name as she ran out.
The church sat on a hill, surrounded by a
web of roads. Before her foot stepped
on the cement grounds,
the girl grabbed the edge of the dress. "Gotcha,"
she said with a grin spread across her powdered face.
"Let go! I need to go to mommy.
She needs me!"
"No, dad wants to be alone with mom!"
"She's not your mommy!
She's mine!"
I yell.
Once Lanna pushed the girl off,
evil one's fingers detached from the princess dress,
and the eight-year old fell butt first onto the streets.
A line of mud trailed down the skirts of the dress as she stood.
Her soft eyes squinted into a glare before
she sprinted across the street to look for the couple's car. But it disappeared.
The church doors slammed shut
and the only people out were her sister and the mysterious woman
on the same side of the street.
When she looked behind her, the world flooded with the sea of blood, and she, too, had been consumed.
When she wanted to move, her body didn't listen.
A man comes in.
"What's wrong?"
he asks.
"Nothing,
just a dream."
"A nightmare?"
"No,
a dream."
He lies beside me.
"You're not allowed in."
"But you're scared."
I frown.
"I'm not scared.
Are you scared?"
"Why would I be?"
"Because I'm here to kill you."
He laughs before saying,
"No, not at all."
A sigh flies out my lips.
"And that's what I thought."
"I won't bite."
To be continued...
Another short chapter (after years). Don't kill me!
