(Just in case you don't know, a trestle is like, that thing that you put up against the wall of your house, and roses, etc. grow on it. It sort of has diamond shaped spaces between the wood. You know what I'm talking bout. People climb it in movies to get into a window or something. Oh well. Just imagine if you don't know what it is, lol.)
"Hello? What's going on? Where am I?"
Kay stood in complete blackness, trying to see what was going on around her. No luck. There was nothing but darkness. Silent tears began to creep down her face, when the light hit her; A solitary, brilliantly lit, white light shining down on her from directly above. She began scanning the area that could now be seen, and was shocked to find that she was wearing a beautiful evening gown. It was made of fine white silk and dragged lightly on the ground behind her. It poofed out a bit from her hips, all the way down to her feet. They were bare, but still kept perfectly clean. The top part of the dress was also made of white silk. It had spaghetti straps, and was pressed tightly up against her stomach, making it look perfectly thin and natural. Her hair was much longer than the last time she checked, going down past her waist in long, wavy curls. A crown of flowers was strung around the top of her head, and consisted of white daisies with yellow centers.
"What is this place? Where am I?"
Slowly but steadily the light began expanding to reveal her surroundings. She was standing in the middle of a very large garden. The grass between her toes was the perfect shade of green, and there was all kinds of flowers everywhere you looked. The sky was a nice baby blue, not a cloud could be seen. Tiny white fluffs floated around, giving the garden a peaceful sense of safety and serenity. There was no wind at all; it just seemed as if they were floating somehow. Butterflies of every colour flew all around her, enhancing the magnificence of the garden. Birds were chirping in some of the trees, and she smiled when one flew near her and sat down on top of a trestle like wall.
'I must be in some sort of garden maze,' she thought,' And what a beautiful maze it is!'
She walked over to one of the walls and picked a purple flower that was growing up on it. She lifted it up and put it next to her nose to smell the fragrance it was giving off.
"Mmmmmmm. It smells so nice."
Placing her hands on her dress, she lifted it up a bit and started to make her way into the maze. Her long hair flowed freely behind her as she walked, almost as if telling her to keep on going, and never stop. She never came to a dead end, for it seemed that there weren't any. Every turn she made lead her into a small open space with more flowers, and more trees, and more bushes all around. Beyond the walls were trees with either small pink or green leaves growing on them. They hung over parts of the walls, shading some areas from the sun. Some even went halfway across, to shade her path of walking.
She wandered around for about ten minutes before coming to a very narrow passage way. You couldn't see what was on the other side because of all the shadows from the leaves and flowers.
"This must be where I'm supposed to go. There's no other way."
The sun began to shine only on the area that was ahead of her now. Looking back, the garden that she'd just walked through for what seemed like an entire afternoon, had almost completely disappeared into darkness.
"It's now or never Kay. You have to go through the passage to actually find out what's on the other side. It must be something special the way the sun shines on it. I want to know..."
Pushing her way into the entrance, she started to walk sideways between the walls because it was the only way she'd fit. Meter after meter she made her way past more flowers, leaves and even a bird nest or two, when she finally reached the end. She stuck out her hands, and pulled the leaves out of the way to see what the sun was shining on. It was a giant white gazebo, surrounded my a small moat, and a thin white bridge with white trestle railings. The moat was filled with clear blue water, and was in the middle of a small field, still covered with tons and tons flowers; flowers that now seemed to almost be glowing. The walls were still there, as were the trees that hung over their sides. The white fluffs in this particular area seemed intensified. It was almost as if she was walking in the middle of a thick patch of fog.
She lifted up her dress and slowly started to walk over to the bridge. When she got closer to the entrance, she looked into the gazebo, and saw the back of a young man through all the white confusion floating about. He was dressed in a black tuxedo, with a black top hat. It was almost as if she was looking through some kind of snow storm. The image was there, but it looked sort of blurred and hazy; like a painting. He was bending down, his head sticking out an opening that lead to the other side. It was almost as though he was waiting for someone...
"Excuse me... Do you know where I am? What is this place?"
The man arched his back up straight when he heard the sound of her voice. He turned around, almost in slow motion, to reveal himself to her.
"Miguel?"
"Kay... Do you like it?"
He made his way over to where she was standing and slowly began to pick up her hands. He brought them next to his face, and kissed them ever so softly.
"Miguel... what is this?"
"It's for you Kay. It's all for you. I hope you like it."
"I do Miguel... It's so magical."
He smiled and turned away from her. His arms extended into the nearest flower garden, and proceeded to pull out another white daisy with a yellow center. It looked just like the ones on her crown.
"This is for you."
The flower transferred places into Kay's hand, but her gaze never left the smile that was etched all over his face.
"Thank you."
"Kay?"
"Yes Miguel?"
Their faces had somehow managed to creep closer together. Her hands were held tightly in his, and they had eyes for nothing but each other. She could feel his hot breath cross her cheek and stop next to her ear.
"Will you dance with me?" he whispered.
She pulled away and smiled at him.
"Of course I will..."
He let go of one of her hands, but held lightly onto the other, as he led her out of the gazebo, through the beautiful white fluffs and flowers, and into another small meadow. There were no walls here, only an open space of grass, surrounded my trees, flowers, and woodland creatures. Rays of sun poured into it, eliminating the white haze that had followed them there. He let go of her hand and took off his top hat, followed by his jacket. He then unbuttoned his sleeves at the wrist, and rolled them halfway up his arms. Kay laughed as Miguel bent down and bowed to her. She clutched the flower tightly in her hand and stifled one last giggle. He got up and grabbed her waist, pulling her closer to him.
They started to dance, slowly and freely, when the music started to be heard. It was a slow, solo of a piano, and it took her breath away. She glanced at Miguel, who returned the look.
"This is the happiest day I've had in a long time... Thank you."
Miguel smiled, and the went back to dancing again. The music had gotten slower, as she rested her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes. Without even noticing it, the rays of light that shone throughout the meadow had begun closing in on them, until there was only a single, solitary white light beating down on them from directly above. Piano echoed all around them, but neither one seemed to notice.
Miguel's head rested nicely on top of hers, and both were in such a wonderful state of peace. They looked as though they were in some sort of trance, the way they just kept swaying back and forth, eyes tightly closed.
Back and forth... back and forth... back and forth. Note after note played out, each one slower than the one before. Nothing could have ever been more peaceful... until Miguel's eyes whipped open, and he looked down at Kay. He reached into his pocket, and proceeded to pull out a long, thin, very shiny dagger. Kay was still locked in his arm, and too in love too notice what was happening.
The dagger plunged into the back of her neck, and she flew back in agony. She stood for a moment, staring at Miguel, the bloody dagger held in his hand. The daisy she had been holding glided gently to the ground, as Kay looked down at herself. Blood was dripping from her eyes; the tiny beads hitting her dress, and beginning to slide down the white silk.
"Miguel.... why?!" she wailed," Why did you do that to me?"
He stood in amazement at what had just happened. His eyes made their way to the dagger, and a horrified look crossed his face. It was a look that begged for mercy and understanding; sympathy for what he had done.
She had no time to respond, as she fell into the white light, and just kept falling. She heard his voice call after her, but there was nothing she could say.
"Kay? KAY! KAY! KAY!"
"Miguel... why..."
~
"Kay? Kay? She's awake! Kay? Can you hear me?"
Slowly she opened her eyes, and began to look around. Things were blurred and different. Something was wrong. She was in the hospital.
(VERY short, I know, but- that's what school does to you I guess. Hope you liked. :)
