Forever Young
Chapter 2
A tall man in a black and white pinstriped suit entered through the "door". He wore a black bowler hat. The man's dark brown eyes had a demonic, devious look in them, along with a sleazy smirk beneath his thin, dark moustache and a big aquiline nose.
With shiny, black, leather shoes, the man walked over to Andrea, still standing up tall and proud, with his thin, towering figure still straight as a ruler, just like he entered seconds before. The man walked behind Andrea, untied her from the chair and helped her up.
"So you must be wondering, Andrea-" the man began saying but Andrea cut him
off by shouting out in disbelief,
"Wait! How d'ya know my name?"
The man raised his one eyebrow and continued to smirk.
"Let's just say that I have known you ever since the day you were born," the man answered.
Andrea continued to look at the man in an aghast expression. Before she knew it, so many questions started to overflow her mind. But before she could ask any of them, the man raised his hand.
"You must have a whole lot of questions that you want to ask and I'll try my best to answer them. I'll start with introducing myself. My name is Earnest. I have been watching and observing you ever since you were born-"
Again, Andrea cut Earnest off by shouting out, "You mean, you were and are stalking me?"
Earnest gave a little chuckle. "Nah, I am not THAT bad. But I DO know a whole load about 'ya. So don't try any tricks to outsmart me."
"Where am I? What is this place?" Andrea jabbered and blurted out, who was now is a state of hysteria and panic.
Of course, Earnest just grinned but said nothing, giving Andrea the hint that the location place they were right now was not to be revealed.
Instead, Earnest replied, "Let's just say that you are in another dimension. Somewhere that nobody else in your family knows about."
Of course, this scared Andrea because not only did she not know where she was, but even worse, Earnest wasn't going to tell her. What if Andrea's parents were home and awake, wondering where the heck she was? What if…?
"Remember that dream you had last night? That long dream?" Earnest asked as he raised his eyebrows.
Andrea's eyes widened in astonishment.
"How did ya know that I had a long dream last night?" she asked.
"Because I have got your whole dream, right here," Earnest answered and grinned as he reached into his jacket pocket, pulled out and held up a video tape. Earnest then added, "Let's watch it shall we?"
Earnest then turned and ventured out the door, gesturing to Andrea to follow his lead. Andrea obeyed and did so. Andrea wondered if Earnest had her visualizations on video just like she had when she was dreaming. That dream was more of nightmare to Andrea. It was just a nightmare she had…right?
