Just the way you are...
Alisa's POV
"Hi, who are you?"
I looked over to the tanned, little boy.
"My name is..., I think that you look like an elephant! Haha!"
My eyes watered, "You're mean, I don't like you."
"I don't like you either, idiot. Yeah off you go, crybaby."
I fled from the school building and into the cursed forests.
"Waahhh! Help, help!" I screamed as I collided into something.
"Girl! A girl! You weird... Clothes different..." a boy dressed in leopard print clothes, gazed at me.
I woke up with a start. I was laid on one of the pews in the church; the sound of a bell rang alerting me it was twelve. I hopped up and ran to the kitchen and began making dinner for Nathan. He is the pastor, I am devoted to the teachings of the Harvest Goddess yet he treats me like a slave. He is really evil, not fit to be involved with the church. I thought about my weird dream, it seemed strangely familiar. What was the name of that awful boy, who teased me? And who was that boy I ran into?
"Where is my dinner, Alisa? I'm starving, I want it now!" Nathan slammed the door shut and sat down.
"Here you go, Nathan." I hurried out to him.
"Uh, it is cold..."
"It's supposed to be, it is salad..."
"I hate salad!" Nathan growled.
"Soz boss," I mumbled. "Somebody has organised an appointment, so I've got to go."
I quickly walked outside, to the fresh air of nature. Before walking into the cursed forest, I looked around to see whether anybody was there, luckily I was safe to go. I skipped into the forest, singing as I looked for the spot where my dream had ended.
"Here! Ummm, now what? Wait, what is that noise?" I ducked behind the hedge and looked to where the noise had come from.
"Here, now where girl? Must find her." A young man appeared.
He spoke in short, simple sentences sometimes missing words out.
"That's him, I'm sure. I've just got to go up and ask him who he is. Go Alisa..."
I crept out from behind the hedge and backed away a bit, so it would look like I had just started walking.
"Hey, I'm looking for someone here. A boy in leopard print stuff, like you! Well he would be a man now, because I was just a young girl. A school girl." I blurted out, the boys eyes lit up.
"Me had a dream, you in it. A school girl. Her name Alisa. That your name?"
"Ummm, why were you looking for her?" I said, not sure if I should tell him what my name was.
"Want to see her. She nice to me. Are you her? She want to live with me when younger."
I nodded, whilst the man told me his name, "My name Shea, you Alisa! Good!"
Vaughn's POV
I glanced over at the door, as it had just been swung open. It was Natalie, Julia and sadly Chelsea. I sighed.
"Oh what's up, wittle boy? Did you spill your porridge, or did you fall down a hole?" Chelsea glanced over at the scowl on my face.
"Please be the last one, please be the last one!" Chelsea mumbled.
"What is up is that you just came in." I said, directing my eyes back over to my newspaper.
She shrugged her shoulders then followed the girls upstairs, I sighed before picking myself up and going over to the animal barn.
"Hi sweety, you ok?" Mirabelle questioned on my entry she was brushing the horses, cows and sheep.
"Let me take over, aunty. I feel like you have been doing too much work, shall we go out for dinner tonight?" I smiled at Mirabelle.
"Oh Vaughn, you seem much happier today. You have never been this happy since... Oh uhhh, sorry Vaughn..." My smile faded.
"It's ok, don't worry about it so shall we go out to town on the ferry tonight? I hear it only takes one hour with this ferry."
Mirabelle nodded.
I began brushing the animals whilst Mirabelle exited. Once she had gone I thought about my past that Mirabelle had accidentally brought up.
"Hey, I'm Vaughn. It's scary in this school, don't you think?" I smiled at the little boy.
He glanced over at me then raised his eyebrows, "Is it scary, awww. Haha! Go away weirdo!"
I snivelled then slid my finger up my nose so I could...
I let out a little sob, "Oh darling what is up with my angel?"
My mum pulled me close to her then hugged me. She comforted me whilst I told her what had happened.
"Weird flashbacks... I guess I was just a little nerdy boy then, but I can't help feel that, that little boy who made fun of me is closer than I think." I sighed then slipped my hand into my pocket. I pulled out my little locket.
In one side of the heart was me with my family and then the other was a pretty woman with her family. She had creamy white skin, midnight black hair and the prettiest dress. I cannot bear to even think her name never mind say it. I gently kissed my family then the woman. A tear trickled down my cheek as painful memories were remembered.
Authors Note:
What do you think? A lot of flashbacks in this chapter, I have made plans for the next chapter. It will be a bit of the storyline then maybe some random stuff thrown in there to give it a balance. The 'pretty woman' will be in next chapter. I'm not revealing her name though, it will be a secret. Just to let you know, at the moment Alisa isn't included in the storyline but I am thinking of adding her in. Updates will be soon because it is the holidays but I am going away so they may slow down.
