Chapter Ten:
Francesca finally leaves me as I begged her thousands of times. I may be weak, but my persistence is still strong. The women in my family are known for being stubborn.
"Very well then. Do not leave this room." Her eyes can be scary when she wants something. "Do you understand me?"
"Yes mother." She glares at me one last time.
"I mean it Sierra." With that, she leaves with a flourish out the door.
I look around the room and see an open window.
Of course you mean it Francesca.
I silently get up once more. A replay of the night before. This time however, I wouldn't make the same mistake. I know how to care for myself, and I know that I have the power in this domain.
I walk across the velvety carpet and approach the window. A slight breeze is coming in. It feels good. Empowering. The cold is powerful, especially when it comes to me.
I hoist myself into a position into which I am sitting on the windowsill.
I believe I've driven myself insane.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Mmmm… Things have changed. Sierra is a fool. She doesn't understand how much she is needed. She is simple minded and though brilliant, she will never win this battle. The war is coming and there is much more than two sides, and much more than one evil. Be careful Sierra.
"You are no longer safe."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Wind is violent. Cold is blistering. The angels is poised with her arms stretched wide out. The angel is falling. Falling. Fast. Why isn't anyone helping her? Stopping it. Stop. Don't fall! DON' FALL!
I shoot up like an arrow and begin sucking in short breaths. The silk sheets don't help the heat that is trapped in my body. My pale skin looks even lighter, almost transparent. My forehead is hot enough to make a numb person cry out in pain. That dream was terrible. The angel was so familiar though. I've been having enough of these dreams. They're just lies. There is no angel. No one is falling. No one is trying to kill themselves.
I hope.
