So I didn't get my gift from Selena yet and I noticed I put the wrong address. That sucks, hope she resends it. Anyway I won something in the mail for my little cousin, that's rare, but the again for the past two years I've been getting lucky.
"Carter…," I don't know why I can't wake up but I swear I can hear my name. It feels like my heart is racing and I can't open my eyes from the surrounding darkness. I take a deep breath and listen to my name ring over and over and still I don't move. I finally fall back into my sleep ignoring the fact that someone is trying to wake me until I feel something and I stop breathing. I try to lock into what the feeling is. My skin is beginning to burn and all I hear is a small humming noise. I try hard to open my eyes and soon they do flicker open and close again. I saw a shadow, my heart beats faster and I open my eyes just to knock my head against Rosie's.
"Ow..," she whined rubbing her forehead hard as I gain focus and stare directly in front of me at her.
"What were you doing?" I asked as she pointed behind me. I turn just to see darkness. I shake my head clueless-ly before she crawls into me and I face her. She's towering over me a bit, looking down on me as she hovers over my legs.
"Carter…"
"Yeah?"
"I'm scared"
"You're admitting it?"
"Okay fine I am," she sits across my legs and sighs. I can feel a small thumping running across my skin, over my legs and up my body to places that never hummed like this before. "I don't want you or your dad to get hurt. I feel like if something happens to you Carter….it'll be because of me…and I don't want that"
"No, if something happens to me it'll be because of the choices I'm making. I can't let you do this alone"
"Carter, I have to end this"
"Rosie you're not…" her lips fell against mine. Her fingers kneading into my face as she moved and shifted against me. I could feel her heart beat as close as she was. The silence was broken by a small creaking sound. Rosie pulled back and sighed before hugging me. Her arms came across my shoulders and she took a few deep breaths.
"I want to be with you Carter, and only you…who knows what will happen if I go back to Costa Luna and get thrown in prison or worse… killed," she whispered in my ear before her fingers ran through my hair like a comb. "I need your help, and only your help Carter," she pulled back and I could see the small shimmer in her eyes.
"What kind of help?"
"Like I said Carter. We have to end this," she plucked herself away from me and I finally got a full look at her. She was dressed in one of her dark blue dresses and a jacket.
"Rosie…what are you thinking about doing?"
"Are you going to help me or not?"
"Rosie"
"Carter no one is going to stop me, please…I need your help"
"What's your plan?" she stared at me before walking over towards the door and flicking the light on. She pulled something off the wall before walking over to me and crossing her legs at the end of the bed.
"Can you help me?" I was staring over the paper. The plan was complicated and I didn't feel good about keeping this away from my dad, it was highly dangerous. "Carter, I need to save my mom"
"And if she tried to kill you?"
"I'll wing it," she placed her shoes over her feet and she watched me. "We're going now"
"Now?"
"Yes, come on..get dressed," she pressed her fingers against the light switch again and as I stood she kissed me again. "We'll be fine." She was feeling highly confident about this, but why was I feeling like I was going to puke any second now? I studied Rosie for a while before making my way to my small bag of clothes and got dressed. Rosie watched as I went from one outfit to the next until I stood in a long sleeved black shirt and some dark jeans.
"I should tell my dad"
"Please Carter…come," Rosie extended her hand out to me and I took it. She slid next to the room door and peaked out. My dad was stretched out on the floor with a thick blanket under him. I let Rosie's hand go and watched as she made it to the door. She was picking at the lock before I opened a few cabinets. My dad was sound asleep. I saw a package silver in color against the base of one of the cabinets and pulled it into my hand as Rosie signaled me over. I followed her silently before we closed the door on the silver capsule like thing and I spotted a small red light flashing.
"This way," I told Rosie pulling her backwards into me towards the thing we just came out of. I fell under it first before Rosie came crashing into me.
"Rosie? Carter?" I heard my dad's voice echo on the inside of the thing faintly. He rushed out barefoot and turned one way to the next. I knew he was worried. Rosie was still laying against me with her elbow in my side. I wanted to hiss out and yell but I stayed quiet until my dad ran back inside.
"What's he doing?"
"He's not doing anything, lets go," I knew my dad was putting on his shoes to run out after us. I held Rosie's fingers and drug her in the direction I knew he wouldn't check. He was so predictable, we ran behind the thing in a straight direction for a few feet before turning in a opposite direction.
"How are we suppose to get to Costa Luna?" I asked the girl as she began catching her breath.
"Help me find water"
"Water?"
"Yeah," I watched as she ran in one direction and I had to follow her. We were running for a decent amount of time before we could hear some rustling noises.
"I think we found some," I let out as Rosie nodded. I think she heard it as well before more noise erupted around us. "Wait, I don't think that's water," the noise came closer and began sounding like a faint beeping sound.
"It has to be water"
"How do you know? We don't have a clue where we are right now"
"We have to put this in the water," Rosie rose a small thing in her fingers that I could barley see. The dark sky made everything hard to take notice of.
"Can you hear that?" I asked the girl as she turned from me. I watched her pluck her fingers across a few branches.
"Car...taaaaaaaahhhh," My heart began to race as Rosie fainted into the darkness.
"ROSIE!!!!!" I screamed running in the direction the girl disappeared. She was silent now and I didn't know what was racing in my head but I made my way over to the bushes and began punching forward. I didn't hit anything, I could just feel the wind pick up. "Ro….saahhhhhhhhh."
I could only hear a small tapping noise. It was faint, quiet, but in a way oddly loud. My head was pounding, I couldn't open my eyes My head was pounding and my heart was beating slowly.
"Carter," my voice made me shake. I knew it was Rosie but opening my eyes were impossible. I was extremely tired and I didn't know why. "Please wake up Carter, please." I felt pressure against my arm, then on my legs, and then against my lips. I shook again, this time my heart was pounding and I felt everything tingle. I opened my eyes and saw Rosie on top of me.
"Ugh…where are we?" I asked when she pulled back. I couldn't see much. The room was extremely dark but from a slight crack in the wall I spotted light and could see a small portion of the room, and Mitchie's eyes.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, where are we?"
"I don't know, but my thoughts are, Costa Luna," I sat up next to her. The room was dark gray with thick squares here and there.
"Oookay, why?"
"We have to get out of here"
"Oh god are we in prison? I didn't have a record before today"
"Carter we can do this," she cupped my hand and we both stood and made it to the small crack. "Hello? I have to pee," she let out as I tried to focus where we were.
"Oh do you now?" A man who's mouth was the only thing we could see came near the door. I moved away from Rosie as he spoke. "Well make it quick," he pulled his fingers against the knob and light came into the room full speed. I closed my eyes tightly before adjusting them. It was clearly morning and the halls were neatly decorated with portraits and bright yellow colors.
"Not you," his finger floated near me.
"Please, she has to go too, I don't know you and there-for I don't trust you" her eyes stayed on the man's before he looked down the hall.
"Make it fast princess," we began making it past him before he gripped my arm. I could feel his cold fingers deeply press into my skin. "Make sure its fast little Mason," he studied me and let me go. Rosie and I made it to the royal bathroom, it was her home she told me and we made it inside before she locked the door.
"Carter, it begins," I nodded making my way over to the large window and peeking out. Hundreds of soldiers stood outside, some erect and others pacing back and forth.
"We can't do this"
"We have to, my mom is over there," she ran her fingers across mine as we peeked through the window. She pulled my fingers into hers and guided our hands towards another house. "We have to help her Carter"
"And what about you?"
"Their not going to kill me, not yet at least, and my mom…she has no control over her own solders, just like I don't have any control over mine," she let my fingers go before pointing to the ones in red. They were hers, the ones in green the man's who was taking over and yellow was her mothers.
"Hurry up in there," the man screamed pounding on the door harshly.
"Carter," I faced Rosie as she nodded and I ran my fingers through hers.
"Please, let this work," I said as Rosie kissed me quickly and opened the window. A few guys below, mainly her soldiers looked up and she did something with her hands and they nodded. Others took notice and began to shout as the pounding outside the door grew.
"OPEN UP"
"Here we come," I let out opening the door as Rosie closed the window.
"Get back in there," the man pointed as I reached for Rosie's hand. His eyebrow raised as she came into me and we began making it back towards the room we left.
"Princess, we must talk," the man said as Rosie let me go and ran down the hall. "Princess….someone!" the man called out as he pointed me to the room and ran after her. He passed by me and I turned the other way and ran down the hall. I could hear feet trampling against the floor downstairs and shouts being rendered.
"ROSIE!!!!" I screamed as everything grew silent before the feet picked up again but my way. I ended up in a room full of dresses and old sewing machines. I began shifting through the objects as fast as I could before I pulled up some scissors and a few things of yarn. I grabbed them and tossed a few into the hall as the trampling feet made it onto my floor. I gripped the scissors tightly and dodged behind a mannequin as guys fled my way and into the room, most tripping, others falling, and some knocking against other mannequins.
"Fine Rosalinda, tell her if she doesn't come out of hiding her mother will be sent to execution," I gripped the mannequin's cold fake body and began tearing my scissors through a dress. The men grew quiet as one appeared on the side of me. I glared into his eyes and he stayed quiet. He looked away and told the men to check the halls. He dropped something hard against the floor and left closing the thing behind him. I peeked out to spot a gun against the floor. He was Rosie's guard, he signaled me to grab the thing he dropped. I wasn't equipped to hold a gun, let alone fire one. I heard a scream, a loud screech that sounded familiar. It was Rosie, my heart began racing again as I ran over to the dark black gun and rose it onto my back, making the strap secure. I was scared but I had to do this, for Rosie.
So I'm sitting at my aunt's bored, I'm about to clean, but thought I'd update.
