Hello hello! Thank you for reading the last chapter, and in case you don't know, UPDATES are always on Fridays….at the most:)! I'm going back to work in a little bit, but I just wanted to post this much up to be true!
[The Haunting of an Old Enemy]
The young teenager lay on her bed finally…asleep? Her raven locks damp and sprawled over the messy floral patterned sheets. Her breathing seemed to fasten, as her whole face flushed.
The faint distant sound of birds chirping awoke her from her tree. When she did, she gazed at her surroundings. This was the pond near the Hale Residence. But, it was no pond; it was a lake even more beautiful and sparkling than before. She stared at her reflection in disbelief for quite some time. Was this her? Surprisingly, her hair slid down the nape of her neck and onto the floor, but remained the same color, her skin, as green as the jungle and eyes as blue as an Iris? She was a lot shorter, and a lot younger, probably no older than eleven.
Just then, she was pulled away by someone else. "Callia, this way!" It was another girl, about three years older. Her light brown hair draped a little over her shoulder. "Derek we're here!" she shouted at a castle made out of cardboard and twigs.
"Do I have to play with you guys Laura?" a teenage boy walked out from behind the castle.
"D-derek?" the raven head gasped. He was also a lot younger, probably about sixteen.
"The one and only." He grinned and then laughed it off.
She wasn't sure whether that was really him or not. She didn't even know if he was capable of smiling like that, or rather showing those expressions. Either way, she couldn't fight of the fuzzy feeling he had left.
"Yes! Now hurry up and get in place!" commanded Laura. She held a piece of a log for a shield, and a dried branch for a sword.
For some reason, she knew exactly what to do. Hurriedly, she entered the castle and lay down like Snow White. Her actions did not cease, even when she protested to do so.
Laura held up her sword. "Now I, the knight and shining armor will come and rescue the princess! Come forth, you evil dragon!"
"Rawr." Derek said unenergetically.
"You're supposed to be a fierce dragon!" bursted Laura. "Now, let's try one more time." She placed the sword up again. "Come forth, evil dragon!"
This time he jumped out and kicked her sword away, making it break in two. "Rawr!"
"Derek! Dragons don't know kung-fu, and look at what you did!" she pointed to her sword. "Now I have to find another one!" she stomped away into the woods.
Derek wriggled his fingers. "No one shall ever get past the dragon of terror!" Then he looked inside the castle. "And you'll never get your prince!"
Lea laughed before jumping to him. "Then, I'll just marry you!" He smelled really good to her. It was like a citrus fresh scent. "You smell good!"
"What're you doing?" he asked in the softly.
Mentally, she slapped herself. What was she saying! What was she doing! She had no control in this weird dream. It was like watching through someone's eyes! "You can be my prince!" she continued to spout nonsense, but this time she DID slap herself.
"Oookaaaayyy….BUT, not into little kids, sorry." The teenager simply smiled and placed her onto the ground. "You're weird. But oh well, all kids are weird." He placed a finger at his chin. "Say, you're a girl."
"Uh-huh." She strangely anticipated.
"So what does it mean when a girl talks to you a lot? And this isn't just chatting, but like talking for long periods of time every day. It's almost like they want to spend a lot of time with you." He shook his head from side to side slowly.
She oddly couldn't feel happier in that moment. 'He must be talking about me!' she screamed in her mind. "Then, they must be interested. You should pursue in that person. I'm sure they'd be really happy too!"
He gave a sigh before speaking again. "Hmm. You know, you could be right. Thanks for the advice, now I know what to do." He waved bye and then ran off.
"Where are you going?" she called out, but he didn't turn back. He was too busy thinking to himself. From afar, she saw Derek with some woman, older than him by a decade or even more. Stealthily, she hid behind a tree and picked up the baby rabbit cuddling nearby. Derek seemed to laugh after he said something to her, then she macked her violet red chops onto his overpoweringly. At this point, all Lea could do was stare. She was upset, but what irked her further was after Derek Got into the passenger seat of her car. For a moment, she spotted a purple flower in the lady's hands, something she identified as Wolfesbane. Before they drove off, she saw the crudest smirk slip on her face. "Derek! Come back!" she wanted to warn him, but everything was swallowed by darkness.
"Ahhhh!" Lea screamed as she rose from her bed. She looked around, and she was herself again, in her own room. "I actually fell asleep…." She sighed. Just then, she remembered her dream again. "Stupid Cougar Bitch…..touching him like that!" She covered her mouth as fast as she said it. 'AM I JEALOUS!?'
Another chapter! But it was VERY short! Sorry! I will right a longer one next time! But can anyone guess who was that girl?!
Till next time-HB123
