Hushed Reverie
Chapter Two
When I woke up, they had both been standing over me still. It appeared as though I had only blacked out for a few seconds. Later it struck me kind of odd, that at this moment I noticed their clothing first. The girl was wearing a long yellow dress that hugged tight to her upper body, in a V-neck cut, but then flared at the hip. The boy was wearing black pants, and shirt. They were both beautiful. She with her long black hair that came down her back in shiny waves, and he with his short brown curly hair.
As I sat there taking in their appearance they both started to smile. It seemed she had asked me something a moment ago.
"Are you all right?" She asked again, amused.
I nodded, slowly. I still didn't know what happened. And I wasn't sure I could trust them. Though they seemed nice enough. Was this a dream, or what? I couldn't remember being kidnapped. I clearly remember sitting on my couch a moment before.
"What happened? How did I get here? And who are you? How did you know my name? What did you mean before, when you said you'd been seeing me?" The questions just tumbled out of my mouth.
"Oh! I'm Alice and this is my brother Emmett, it's so nice to meet you!" She paused for a moment before continuing, "You've been transported through time obviously, I mean look at your clothes! You must have found one of the medallions with the inscription to the past on it. There are not very many of them, and there powers are waning. It's best if you don't show anyone what it is, not even us. If you lose it, you could never get back home, not that you could go back home now anyhow-"
She was rambling. I was trying to understand, but she just seemed too excited. Emmett interrupted her. He started to laugh.
"Alice!"
"Wha-oh. Sorry! I'll let Emmett explain while I go get you clothes!" She seemed to dance away, out a near-by door.
Emmett grimaced slightly, as she slammed the door. "She can be a bit enthusiastic," he explained. "As for your questions, The particular reason you are here, we don't know. Alice saw you coming because she can see glimpses of the future. It's her gift. Sometimes she will see, or hear a name, or just a face, a door. It is never anything clear, or it hadn't been until she had seen you. This is how we knew you'd be here, and your name. She's been seeing you for the last week. As for the particular reason you are here, we don't know."
I nodded. Medallions. Right. Now I knew I was dreaming.
"Do you have a gift?"
He chuckled, "My strength has been called a gift. My brother is pretty good at reading people though."
I nodded. He didn't have anything like Alice, or his brother.
"Come on, I'll take you to the King and Queen. They would like to meet you, and then we can find out, what they would have us do with you. Of course you will have to learn our language. Alice our brother Edward and I, possibly the Doctor as well, are the only ones that know your language."
He started to help me off the couch. It turned out I was in a large bedroom, the walls and floors made of stone, there was a beautiful four-poster bed with a gold and silver comforter. I had been sitting on the black couch on the wall to the right of the bed if you were looking at it from the door. The wall behind the bed was deep red, but the other three were a creamy white. The carpet was beige, and there was a piano in the far corner to the left of the bed. It was a beautiful room.
"This is Edward's room," Emmett explained, "He has been gone on a hunting trip with our father these past two weeks, but they just arrived shortly before you did. We should probably leave, before he gets up here, he is pretty particular about people being in his room with out him."
