Chapter 3
Red's POV:
I turned to face the person in the alley way and it was none other than Road.
I looked at her before responding in a flat voice. "Hello Road."
She just smiled wider at my response, even though I thought it would've made her smile falter, even if just a little.
She skipped towards me while holding a pink umbrella with a little orange pumpkin on the top. She stops in front of me.
"It's nice to see you again Red."
I looked her over and took a step back because there was something about her that screamed out dangerous. Her smile just becomes a little wider and I swore that if she smiled any wider her face could, and probably would, split apart.
She digs her hand into her pocket and grabbed something, shoving it in her mouth. She put her hand back in her pocket and pulled out some candy which she offered to me but I just shook my head, stepping back again.
"Why were you following me?"
She tilted her head slightly to the left. "I was wondering how your life was, and how did you know I was watching you?" One of her eyebrow rose for the last part of the sentence.
I just looked her in the eyes. "I had a feeling it was you."
She just giggled at my response and turned on her heel to walk back down the alleyway, swinging the pink umbrella. "Goodbye Red. See you again soon."
With that she disappeared into the crowd.
I turned and walked back to the circus. As I walked snowflakes began to fall. I stopped and looked at the sky as the snowflakes drifted down from the sky and landed in my dirty red hair, giving it the appearance that it was sparkling.
When I arrive at the entrance of the circus tent I saw Mana and Allen practicing tricks for their act.
I stood there and watch for a while but when I didn't want to watch anymore I left and retired for the night.
Red's Dream
Everything was black.
I could not see anything, but then a light lit up the darkness. I looked to the light and saw a bright white crescent moon. I looked away from the moon and looked at my surroundings.
There were dead trees everywhere and there was a small lake, but you could not see anything in the water because the water was an inky black. You could only see about 2 meters from the lake then a dense wall of fog covered the rest from sight.
There was a gentle breeze but then the wind changed and then became still. There was not a breath of wind anywhere.
I looked around to see someone sitting in a tree. I walked towards the tree, tilting my head to the side a little. After I was close enough I could see who it was.
Sitting on the branch of the tree was Road. She offered me her hand to me to help me up. I took her hand and she pulled me up. She smiled at me and went back to looking at the moon in the red sky. After while Road spoke.
"Red, why don't you have emotions? Out of every person I have met you are the only person I have seen without a trace of emotions. It's quite strange, but intriguing. So why?"
I looked at her and then turn my gaze back to the sky. "If you lived like I did before coming to the circus then you would know why I don't have emotions. I don't have emotions because what they did to me."
After I said that a fire began to burn the dead trees in the distance. Then there was people shouting and running after someone. Once they caught the person they tied his arms and legs down. One of the villagers had an axe in his a hand and walked closer to the boy who was tied down. The person with the axe then raised and swung the axe down and tried to cut his arm off.
The boy scream for them to stop but they didn't and they did that several times before the boy was able to escape and disappeared in to the trees. The fire then went out and the villagers disappear in to the shadows.
Road looked at me, her eyes wide. "Red? Was that... Was that, you?"
I nodded. "They called me names, tried to cut off my arm and burn me. I managed to get away but after it all I became broken and lost all my emotions. I couldn't even force myself to have feeling."
Road looked at me her eyes were wider than they were before she had a frown on her face. She looked on the verge of tears. She decided to give me a warming hug but when she hug me I still could not bring myself to feel anything.
When she let go she had a small smile on her face. "That's terrible what they did to you but why didn't anyone come to save you like family or a friend."
I looked away from her and turned my gaze to the dead trees. "My parents left me at birth. I then went from orphanage to orphanage. I than ran away and came to a village. The villages found out about my arm and tried to rid me of it or kill me. After that I found a travelling circus and joined it. I was yelled to do things and beaten daily by an ass faced clown. That is how my life has been so far. What about you Road? How is your life? Also how are you in my dream? That is not normal but neither am I so it does not matter if you don't answer the question."
Road had a sad smile on her face until she told about her own life. "I was adopted when I was young and became very dear to my dad. He loves me and so does my mum and uncle. I play around with my uncle and go to school. None of the kids at school come near me because they say I'm to weird and crazy. I don't mind what they say because I have a family who makes me happy. No, this is not normal I have power so that I can enter or control people's dreams. I can make them have nightmares or good dreams."
She smiled at me then jumped off the branch and landed on the ground lightly. I jumped off too and joined her.
She looked towards me with a kind smile. "Red I hope that you have happiness in your life at some point and farewell for now. I shall see you again soon."
She waved and then disappeared.
I woke up as the first rays of sun spilled over the horizon.
'that was probably the best sleep I have had over all these years.'
