Walls of Ice

Chap.2: Visions

My eyes slowly fluttered open and it took a moment before they were able to focus properly. "Ugh, what happened?" I groaned, sitting up.

When I did, I realized I was now in a bed, a flower-patterned quilt covering me. I heard a door click open, "Aah, you're awake." I heard Sera's voice. "You had us pretty worried, kid." She chuckled, going over and standing next to the bed. :I'm sorry about that." I apoligized.

"There's no need to apoligize-it's not like you did it on purpose." Sera told me-lightly thumpping me on the head. "Anyway, I came to bring you this." She told me, holding a tray out towards me, a bowl sitting on top.

I took the tray,setting it on my lap. "I thought I'd bring some stew for you to eat. Are you hungry?" She asked.

I nodded, "Yes, thank you." I replied, picking up the spoon in the bowl.

Sera started walking towards the door, "Ok, well if there's anything you need, just come and see me." She told me. "Ah! Thank you!" I replied.

She smiled and shut the door. I dipped the spoon in the stew and slowly sipped it. "Wow! It really is good!" I said.

I put the spoon down, resting it up against the side of the bowl, and looked out the window, 'What is going on?' I thought, sighing.

My head still hurt slightly, and I winced when it started throbbing slightly. Suddenly, a sharp ringing went through my ears and I clutched my head, ready for the worst. Everything went white, but now I found myself in a completely different room.

I looked around, "Wow, this room is huge!" I gasped, looking up at the humoungus arched ceiling.

All of a sudden, it sounded like someone started singing. "Who's that?" I wondered, as I wandered down the room, following the sound.

After walking down what seemed to be an endless hallway, I finally pinpointed where the singing was coming from.

The door was open ajar, and as I peeked through the gap, I could see a woman standing in front of a window-her back turned to me, wearing a long, flowing dress and a light sweater that I guessed went down to her mid-waist. From her position, I could see she had long, straight blond hair that almost touched the floor.

It was tugging at my mind to who she was, but I had an idea about her.

I opened the door, slightly, it creaking as I did so, catching the woman's attention, "Mama?" I asked, quietly.

"Ah! Fairen!" She stopped singing and turned around, but as soon as she turned around, everything dissappeared and I was once again laying back in Sera's bed.

"Fairen?" I wondered, that name like a foreign language on my lips. I picked up the tray, with the bowl, still laying in my lap, tossed my lags over the side of the bed and headed for the door.

'My name. My name!' I repeated over and over in my head as I walked out the door and towards the stairs. As I went down the slightly-spiraling staircase, I could hear Toren's voice in the living-room, "She actually has amnesia." I heard him say.

'Amnesia? Is that what it's called?' I thought. "She doesn't know anything about herself or why she's here." He added as I got to the bottom stair. When I did, they all turned their heads toward me.

I lifted the tray slightly, "Sorry, I wasn't able to finish it all. Even though I was hungry, I wasted the stew you made." I told her. Sera chuckled, "It's no problem, kid, you don't have to worry about it. You can just put it in the sink in the kitchen." She told me. "Alright." I nodded. I went into the kitchen and put the dishes into the sink, watching as the soap suds surrounded the dishes as they sunk into the water.

I walked back to into the living-room and sat down on the couch next to Sera. "Are you alright?" Toren asked me. I nodded, "Yes, I'm fine now." I replied. "Don't do that to us! Next time give us some warning!" Aire exclaimed, jumping up.

Toren smacked her arm and sat back down, "I think what Aire is trying to say is that if there's a next time, maybe you can give us some fore-shadowing of it." He explained, glaring down at Aire when he finished.

I nodded, "I'll try." I told him.

I looked down at my hands, "It was all so weird, even though he didn't say his name or come up to me, I knew he was my father-I don't know how- but I did. I also saw my mother." I explained. "In the same dream?" Sera asked.

I shook my head, "No, this was in another dream I had when I was upstairs." I replied.

"You had another episode?" Toren asked, sitting straight up now.

"Yeah, but this one was more detailed. Instead of just a little area where I could see the scene going on, this was full on- everywhere I looked there was something there." I explained.

"Where were you exactly?" Sera asked. "I don't know exactly, except that the room was huge! Arched ceiling and everything, and I heard this woman start singing, and as I go into the hallway, the hallway seemed almost endless!" I told them.

"Did you see the woman?" Aire asked.

I nodded, "Yes, but only the back of her, she was turned away from me, looking out a window, but when she turned around was when I came to." I replied, "But I know who she was."

"Who?" Sera asked. "I think it was my mother." I replied,looking back down.

"Really?" Sera exclaimed. "Yes, and she called my name when I came in the room." I said.

"Your name? What is it?" Aire asked, leaning forward.

"Fairen, that's what she called me." I smiled. "Fairen, has a nice ring to it." Sera laughed, putting her hand on my shoulder. I smiled, "Thank you." I replied.

Suddenly, Aire jumped up, "Oh no! I was supposed to be home a hour ago!" She exclaimed.

She ran to the door, "Bye, guys! See you tomarrow!" She said,opening the door as she did.

"Bye, Aire." Sera replied lazily, waving her hand. I giggled, "Goodbye, Aire." I told her as she bolted out the door.

The door clicked as it was shut and the room became silent again.

Sera stood up and clapped her hands, "Alright, maybe we should get to bed, it's gotten pretty late after everything's that happened." She told us.

Toren stood up and stretched, "Yeah, I guess you're right, sis." He replied. He walked towards the stairs, "Night guys." He told us. "Night." Sera said. "Good-night, Toren." I told him.

As he dissapeared into his room, Sera led me upstairs, towards a room near the end of the hallway, "You can sleep here for right now," She told me, "we never actually thought we'd need another room, but it came in handy." She laughed.

"Thank you, Sera." I told her. She shook her head, "You don't need to thank us, it's no problem to us." She smiled.

She turned to go back to her room, "See you tomarrow." She said. "Good-night." I replied.

I opened the door, and went in the room, even though I actually wasn't very tired.

Me: Hi again! It's me Luna, with Fairen! Yes her name is revealed! w

Fairen: Miss Luna, my name is not that exciting. ^^;

Me: *glomps Fairen* Oh my little Fairen, of course it is! I've been hiding it for two chapters now and now everyone knows it!

Fairen: *sweatdrops* Oh Miss Luna. *laughs nervously*

Me: Read and review and Fairen will dress in a gothic lolita dress just for you! :9

Fairen: Huh? Uh, Miss Luna, can't we discuss this first? ^^;

Me: :I No.
