All In A Dream
Hoped you liked chapter one. Here's chapter two.
Questions were zooming in her head. Why did he look like that the creature wouldn't hurt him, as if he expected it to attack? Why did he look like he could see into her soul? And those eyes. Why did it feel there was emptiness yet more in its depth? As she tried to forget the dream, those eyes wouldn't stay out of her head. "Sam?" She lifted her head. "Are you all right?" asked Mrs. Manson, "You didn't touch your food." "Yes, I'm fine." Sam was sitting at the table with her mother and little cousin, Tony. "I just had a weird dream, that's all." "Knowing you, that's all you dream," replied her older brother, Tom. His hair was a lightish brown, in contrast to Sam's jet black hair. His eyes were browm, as most of the family. Yet Sam's eyes were a light shade of purple. He opened the refrigerator door and accidentally spilled orange juice on his jersey. Their mother got up to get some paper towels. "Why can't you drink out of a cup like mormal people?" "It was almost gone anyway and I am a normal person, unlike you." "Yeah right." Sam rolled her eyes. Their mother came back with a whole roll of paper towels. "Can you two for once stop picking on each other? Tom, pick another shirt. Sam, can you take Tony to school? That would be a big help." Mrs. Manson gave the paper towels to Tom and hugged her nephew and kids. "Bye Aunty," shouted Tony as he waved. Tom came back downstairs with abright blue jersey and left. Sam rested herarm on the table. "Well Tony, it's just you and me. We still have time before school starts. Want to go to the pond and feed the ducks?""Yay!" Tony was almost out the door. "Hold on! You don't have your jacket, it's chilly out there."
They walked around the pond. While Tony was throwing bread crumbs into the water, Sam continued walking around, deep in thought. Unbeknownst to her, a white cat appeared frombehind a tree. It tilted its head as it stared at her with pale yellow eyes. Tony noticed it though. He walked up to the cat, but hearing his approach, the cat ran. Tony chased after it. The cat turned around a corner. Thinking he had it cornered, he jumped and said, "Gotcha." Instead of finding the cat, he found a sort of ball with all kinds of colors. It hovered in the air and was the size of a regular bouncy ball. The sight was amazing! Colors blendedand moves as if it was alive. It seemed to be calling him. As he was about to touch it, someone called to him. His brain tried to name the sound. It...sounded like...Sam! Sam was calling him. He turned away from the ball and ran to Sam's voice. Somewhere far away, a person slammed his hand onto a table beside a crystal ball.
Sam was getting worried. One second Tony was throwing bread crumbs and the next, he was gone. "Tony!" she called again. 'Where is he?' she thought. "Hi Sammy!" Sam turned over to her left, near some bushes. "Tony, where were you? Nevermind, we better hurry or we'll be late to school," she replied, grabbing his hand. She nearly dragged him all the way to the small elementary school. "Okay, Mom is going to pick you up later on. I'll see you back at home." Sam hugged Tony and left. "Bye Sammy!" "Bye Tony!" she shouted while rushing to school.
"Okay students, can anyone tell me...Oh, Ms. Manson, next time you want to come to school, can you not be late?" The class laughed and jeered at her. Sam walked slowly over to her seat and sank down in it. If it wasn't for some detours she wouldn't have suffered this humiliation. Several hours later, the school bell rang for students to go home. "Hey Sam!" "Hi Sarah!" Aslightlyplump brunette ran over to her. "You going to the Halloween party of the year? You're invited." "I might." "Come on Sam, you need to go. It's going to be fun! What are you afraid of?" 'Everything,' Sam thought. She sighed and said, "Okay, I'll see if I can move it in my calendar." "Cool." Again she sighed.Deep down she had no intentions to go to the party. If she didgo, it may be humiliating. If shedidn't go, she may save herself from the humiliation, but she'd let Sarah down. 'It's not like I could embarrass myself more than I could have. I might even have a good time.' For the tenth time, she sighed. This was a big dilemma. Sam raised her head at the sight of a strange white cat. Its pale yellow eyes were staring at her. There was something strange about it, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. She shook her head and laughed. "I'm just being paranoid," she said. Just tobe sure, she looked behind her. The cat was sitting on the pavement, watching her every step. "Strange," she muttered. Hurrying home, she shut the door behind her. "Weird day," she saidout loud. After dinner she put on her pajamas. It had a turtleneck and long sleeves. Despite long, its black cotton felt comfortable. Sam loved wearing this because it made her feel like she was going on some kind of adventure. She settled underneath the covers and soon fell asleep.
What's going to happen next? The next chapter will be a little interesting. I promise to update soon.
