I could feel the hole in my heart healing slowly.
"I'm home!" I called as I walked through the doors and waited for someone to answer or show up. The room was completely dark. I blinked through the darkness and turned the light switch on.
"SURPRISE!" I jumped in, well, surprise and looked up to see the whole family around the living room table with a huge cake in the center.
I smiled and took a step back, "Guess whose back?"
Elsa stepped in bleakly and waited for there reactions like I did.
This was the best way to distract them. I hated birthday parties. More like I hatedmybirthday parties. I was the complete center of attention. And they always gave me a huge cake formeto eat. They don't eat so I have to eat a lot of cake.
I expected all of these reactions from them. The girls cried and hugged her and the guys gave her that one arm hug. I smiled as they all greeted her back. This was my time for escape. I walked slowly towards the stairs and ran straight to my room.
I closed the door behind me and got ready for bed. I was so tried and a bit shaky as reality kicked in by the time I got under the covers of my bed. I wonder if Elsa was staying this time. Why did she leave in the first place? Why would she break her promise and leave me here? I couldn't understand it.
With all the thoughts running through my head I didn't even realize I was already asleep. I woke up to the feeling of someone watching me. I opened my eyes and immediately picked my head up to see whose ass I was going to kick. I picked the pillow up and threw it towards the eyes.
I heard it hit someone and then I quickly turned the lamp light on, "I told you it's not funny when you watch me sleep!" I finally saw their face and was surprised to see Elsa there.
"Oh. It's you. Sorry I thought you were Josh. What are you doing in here?" I patted the spot next to me and she came to sit next to me.
She handed me the pillow and I took it with a small laugh, "What does it look like I was doing?" she said with a smile.
I shook my head with a small smile, "Why does everyone like watching me sleep?"
She smiled wider, "Because you talk."
I rolled my eyes, "I know."
I lay back down and got comfortable. She leaned over me to see me while we talked.
"Are you ever going to tell me why you left?" I asked looking away and closing my eyes.
"I…can't tell you Anna. I'm not ready to tell anyone yet."
I opened my eyes to look at her, "When can you tell me?"
She looked into my eyes for a moment and everything changed. My whole view on life and love changed. Just by looking into her eyes I could see her soul and see all the suffering she went through. I felt different yet the same. I felt like I had just turned into an adult even though I just did but it takes a long time to become mature and become an adult.
She didn't say anything to me so I just turned my body towards her. She laid down beside me now and looked up at the ceiling. I cuddled up next to her and laid my head next to her side. She wrapped her arm around me and I felt tingly and safe all over.
I closed my eyes and sighed before going back to sleep.
(Dream)
"Daddy don't do it!" I screamed as he aimed the gun at mommy. I looked at mommy in panic to see that she was already dead. I screamed and started crying as I looked up at daddy. It wasn't daddy anymore now it was the molester guy from the hospital.
I looked down at myself to see that I was still a little girl. I looked up at him in panic as he started approaching me, "Lets have some fun."
The scenery changed from the inside of my old house to an open meadow. As soon as he took a step closer I started running. I tripped on a rock and fell on my hands. I started crying from the pain until he turned me over and got on top of me.
"No! Get off! Elsa!"
"Anna! Anna wake up!"
I jumped up with a gasp and started kicking and moving my arms to get her off me.
"Anna it's me!"
I stopped kicking and looked up to see Elsa in front of me. I took in a shaky breath and shook all over.
She took me in her arms and pulled me to her chest, "Shh, it's okay, it was just a dream."
I trembled in her arms and tried to nod as much as I could. She pulled away to wipe the tears away from my eyes. I looked into her and found my safe place before grabbing her and hugging her tightly.
"What was it about?"
I was still shaking as she laid us both down to relax.
I took in a deep shaky breath, "I had a dream about the night my parents died. But in the dream I was begging my dad to stop. When I looked down at my mom she was already dead. And when I looked back up at my dad it wasn't my dad anymore. It was the guy from the hospital. He was chasing me in the meadow. I tripped and suddenly he was on top of me."
I shivered more from remembering making her tighten her arms around me.
"That's why you called for me," she stated.
I nodded, "I always call on you for help. You're my guardian angel remember?"
She tried to smile but it didn't really reach her eyes, "Anna, I'm sorry."
I ran through my head the conversation we just had but came up with a blank to why she was saying sorry, "For what?"
"For leaving," she said slowly letting go of me and moving away.
I looked at her a bit confused and sad at the fact that she wasn't holding me anymore, "Whydidyou leave?"
That made her get off the bed and start pacing the room, "If you don't want to tell me you don't have to," actually Ireallywant her to tell me. But I can't force it out of her.
"Iwantto but it's just not the time," she said coming to a halt with an explanation.
"What? Elsa you're confusing me."
"I know. I'm sorry…just go back to bed," she said as she started to move towards the door.
"Elsa?" I said sitting up a bit on the bed with my hand outstretched towards her.
"Yeah?" she asked turning towards me slowly.
"Stay?" I asked feeling like a little girl again.
"I can't," she said opening the door.
"Why?" I asked almost at the point of tears.
"I just…can't," and with that she exited the room shutting the door a bit too roughly.
I let out a small whimper and plopped back on the bed.She leftI thought.She left me. Bu why? What did I do?
I tried getting comfortable again but it didn't seem to be working. Frustrated that I couldn't go back to sleep I got up and walked to the window. I leaned against it and looked out at the gloomy sky. I sighed and stared at the small lake surrounded by the trees when something caught my eye.
It looked like a man from here. But then it also looked like an ant because it was very far away. I squinted my eyes trying to see who it was. I blinked once and suddenly red eyes were staring back at me from the other side of the glass.
Surprised and freaked out I screamed and fell back on my back. He smiled evilly and broke the glass. I screamed and covered my face with my arms. All of a sudden something as hard as stone grabbed me around the waist and I was swiftly moving; expect I wasn't the one running.
I kicked and screamed trying to get away from him. Who was this vampire? What does he want? Why is he taking me?
"Let go of me! Help! Alenna! Josh! Cara! Help me!" I screamed so loud that I thought I had ripped a vocal cord.
They can hear me right? There vampires, they have good hearing. Unless. I'm too far for them to hear me.
