Romeo and Juliet
Chapter 2
I walked to my chambers, and brushed my teeth. I looked at my reflection yet again. It was haunting how I could see straight to my soul and into the heart of my dream. And then, I was wisked away into another world. I was standing outside the palace, staring at the moon. I suddenly turned around and looked into the face of a shadow.. The same one from my dream. He held out his hand to me, and we began to dance. It was pure bliss, and then a tornado came through and tore us apart. He was lifted and thrown into the depths of the winds.
"Miss!!! Miss!!! Miss!!!" A voice screamed to me.
I was awoken by her. I opened my eyes and bobbed my head back and forth. I felt so dizzy yet so confused.
"Miss!! Are you okay?! Miss!!" The servant called out to me again.
"Yes, I'm okay," I started," I guess I just became deep in thought."
"Okay, well your mother calls for you miss." She replied.
"I will be there." I said, still shaking.
I put my toothbrush up, and walked towards my mother's room. I turned the knob slowly and walked in.
"You wanted to speak to me mother?" I asked.
"Yes dear, I did. Listen, it seems that your costume was ruined by the royal wash. So we will have to make you another." My mother said.
"Yes mother." I said as I started to walk out.
"And Lita,I heard about your episode in your chambers, and you might want to sleep until six-thirty." My mother implied.
"Yes mother." I said as I bowed.
I excused myself from the room. As soon as I shut the door, I slumped to the floor. I started to cry. Why, I can't sleep? My dreams will never stop, and they will haunt my thoughts forever and thereafter. But, I might as well, I need some sleep after my loss of it last night. I stood up, and walked to my room. As soon as I got in there, I fell onto the bed. I pulled the sheets up to my shoulders, and fell into a silent sleep. But, I soon realized that it wasn't going to be a dreamless sleep.
There I was, standing on the balcony of my room. I was near the edge looking at something in the cloudless sky. I could see all the stars bright and beautiful. Then, a flash of light flew across the sky. I thought for a minute, shocked. Was it the ancient stallion that that would fly through the night and was considered a sign of new love ahead? It stood still, looking through my eyes for a second, then disappeared.
It was then that I saw what the stallion had been hiding behind him. It was a planet. Beautiful and mysterious, floating in the empty black sky. The stars had faded, and so had the moon. It was red, with endless clouds swirling around it. I was captivated by the soul of the world that brightened the night. It was as if somone was calling to me, saying that they wanted to see me, and that I had been in their dreams, as they were in mine.
Waking up, I realized just what my dreams were trying to tell me. I was going to be in love very soon. But with who? I was already wonder-eyed as I sat up in my bed. I smiled, and with feeling this time. It was my first real smile in months. I started humming happily as I made my bed, which I would be scolded if I were caught doing. I turned to meet a soft, warm breeze, and I walked over towards my balcony.
That's chapter 2!!!!! Man, I think this story is going to be good... Hope you enjoy...
