Wish
Chapter: four
"As dreamt"
Stephanie woke up gripping her head in pain. She just encountered the strangest thing known to man! What was that white light? Where did it come from? Those were some of many questions buzzing around in her head. Most importantly, where was she? She was in the middle of a cold barren alley. All that was heard was small drops of water dripping into a puddle. "This is creepy." Stephanie said nervously. She stood up whipping dirt and dust off of her pants. "To Creepy." She repeated walking slowly towards the end of the alley. About two cars drove by on the very rainy street. These cars are old. Stephanie thought rolling her lips together. What am I going to do? This looks like the 1940's. Horrifying thoughts ran through her mind, she had no idea where her home was, or where her family was.
She shook the terrifying thoughts from her mind and made her way out to the curb of the sidewalk. There was absolutely no one outside, and Stephanie's stomach turned upside-down. She walked back over to the entrance of the alley and leaned against the wall. "I'm so confused." She sighed, warm tears forming. I'll be fine; I'll just find someone to ask. She thought running her fingers through her hair. A loud noise came from the back of the alley and Stephanie turned curiously in the direction of the noise. Okay, this is creepy. She thought leaning back against the wall in fear. "What's creepy?" A raspy voice called from the shadows, "Are you all alone?" Stephanie's eyes grew wide staring at the black abyss. "Y-you can read my mind?" Stephanie asked backing up slightly, her heart feeling, as it would explode.
"Yessss, I specialize in that sort of thing." A woman stepped out of the alley way, she was rather young with dark brown hair and blue eyes, but for some reason she seemed undead. "Why don't I help you find your way around?" her voice echoing off wall to wall. She walked towards Stephanie her hand placed on her shoulder and the other grasping her elbow. Stephanie's voice cut off, and she stumbled backwards, slamming her foot into a dirty puddle. "N-no thank you." Stephanie stuttered, "I think I'll be fine just looking around." The woman frowned and bent her head forwards closing her eyes. She shook her head side to side as if asked a false question. "You misunderstand me dear." Said the woman opening her eyes, grinning. "You have no choice but to come with me." She opened her mouth with a wide grin, fangs unsheathed. She was indeed a vampire. The one-day Stephanie didn't have her wooden stake.
Alison opened her eyes to a tan room, she was feeling very dizzy, and she didn't know what just happened in her room. "Where?" She started closing her mouth before the rest got out. She heard muffled voices and faint footsteps. She reached up to her face and rubbed her eyes to see clearer. "Where am I?" She continued but in full sentence. She felt hot, as if she had been locked in an oven and her stomach felt bubbly. Her vision was slightly blurred and her hearing was muffled. She could only make out faint figures walking about the room. A loud shout shook her from her muffled hearing. "What the hell is this girl doing here!?" A very familiar voice yelled stomping about the room. Papers were crumbled and heavy breathing was the only thing heard in the room. "Quiet Kyo, she has a fever, we will ask her about where she came from once she feels better." A man whispered clicking his pen.
"I still don't understand?" Kyo said quieter than before storming out of the room. Ali let out a moan and sat up holding her head. A damp white cloth fell on her lap. "I think she's awake." The same voice said calmly sitting down his pen. He leaned over and took the cloth off Ali's lap and handed it to a pale boy with gray hair. "Yuki would you wet this please?" Yuki nodded walking towards the bathroom. Ali let out a cough and she moaned once more before speaking. "W-where am I?" She asked yawning.
"You are at the Sohma House, we found you unconscious outside in the rain." The man replied. He had black hair that went down the sides of his face, he had dark brown eyes and he wore a black kimono. "My name is Shigure Sohma, what's your name? He asked leaning over slightly. Ali coughed and moaned once more holding her stomach. "My name is Alison, Ali for short." She replied scratching her head. Shigure was silent for a moment before he spoke, obviously thinking about what he was going to say next. "You have a terrible fever, you should rest a while to build up strength." He told Ali, concern in his voice, "Tohru is making you some soup if you would like some?" Ali shook her head in approval. "Yes please."
A door slammed and Yuki came back in the room with the damped towel handing it to Shigure. "I rung it out thoroughly, so it shouldn't be that wet." Shigure thanked Yuki placing the towel on Ali's head. Yuki sat down next to Shigure and leaned back crossing his arms. "Do you know where she came from yet? Yuki asked curiously turning his head to look at Ali. Shigure shook his head. "No, all I could find out so far was her name." Yuki sighed, staring at Ali. "Is she awake?" He asked standing up. Shigure nodded again picking up his pen. Yuki made his way over to the side of the bed Ali was sleeping in. She coughed and rolled over, rubbing her eyes letting out a yawn. She reached up to her forehead and took off the wet towel, sitting up. Yuki stepped back a little bit to give her some space. "Ali, are you feeling better?" Yuki asked smiling. Ali nodded yawning once more. "Do you remember anything that happened before we found you in the rain?" He asked his face a confused smile, "Like where you came from?" He knelt down on one knee are placed over it. Ali looked at her hands, fidgeting a little, she rubbed them together nervously then she spoke. "Actually, all I remember was a white light."
