Chapter 2

By:dragonflysky

Elie didn't get very far before she stopped once again. Her mind was buzzing from the brief encounter with the boy. But she wasn't sure why. She turned around, half expecting him to be there…but he wasn't. Elie frowned and continued home.

As she walked in the front door, she heard a familiar "Hello," coming from a woman in the corner.

"Hi mom," she muttered walking up the stairs to her room.

She looked out the window and silently climbed out to the roof. Beautiful stars littered the night sky. A slight guilt pulled at her as she sat out there. She had been forbidden from her parents to sit out there. They always told her it was dangerous.

But she couldn't care less. She liked the privacy she got up there. Her parents couldn't see her and her friends couldn't find her. She usually could forget all her troubles up there. But the boy still bothered her. He looked tough and strong, but kind at the same time.

He looked like the travelers that come through town. They say they're from other worlds and share they're traveling adventures.

Elie thought back to when she was a girl. She used to listen, eager and wide-eyed, as they told enchanting tales of heroes and monsters. She knew now that they were, in fact, just stories.

In any case, he seemed so familiar. She probed her mind trying to figure out if she had met the boy, even for just a brief second. But still she came up with nothing.

She silently climbed back into her room. It was slightly messy from the absence of cleaning time. She had been to busy with the kids on the island for the first month of summer, it never crossed her mind to clean. But, just the same as every night, it slipped her mind and she drifted off into a fitful sleep.

Dream Sequence

The sky was a dark purple. She gazed out of a window that looked familiar. She felt cross, yet worried at the same time. The only problem was, she didn't know why. As she looked out the window, she saw a boy, about 14, running out to the docks and getting in a boat. She couldn't make out any distinguishable features. As she peered closer she saw some thing. Her eyes widened.

End Dream Sequence

A cold sweat dripped down her face. She panted as she tried to recall the dream.

A few things came to mind. A storm, worried, angry, and the boy. She finally came to him. He was small, about 14, and had spiky brown hair. As she pondered, she came to a conclusion.

I need to get a life, she thought as she lay quietly on her bed. She drifted off into a dreamless sleep, unaware of what events were about to unfold.

I hope that was a good chapter. It was a little short, but I'll try to make the next one longer. If your wondering why she and her family can't seem to remember her brother, I'll try to get that in later. I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise. Well, chimo!
