Chapter 5: The Reasons Why, Part 1
I took a breath and looked at Radagast.
"Have you thought about how i'm going to get back home? " I asked him. Saddness started bubbling within me as I verbally reminded myself of how unbelievable far I was from home. I have always believed in supernatural happenings ever since I was a kid. I lived in a haunted house once. I think that the people who lived in it before my family and I did some strange things in there. The laundry room was dark because the windows were sealed with wooden boards and there were symbols on the walls. Every time I would go to sleep at night someone would whisper my name in my ear. I would jolt awake and turn on the lights and watch television all night until I couldn't stay awake anymore. It was because of sleep deprivation I would eventually become death to any sounds and finally get to sleep. Radagast looked at me thoughtful then sat up.
"It is a mystery to how you came here. You had no proper traveling clothes and no horse. Yet, you look like you haven't traveled far. And you are far from any home of man to survive without any supplies. You carry very peculiar objects as well. How you dress is also peculiar. You said that you were far from home, but it turns out that may not the situation at all." He said putting more food on the on the floor for the animals. Hearing it all tied together like that made me weight the gravity of my situation. My mind became mangled in more worry as I stroked Sparkle ears while looking on the table.
"Although my friend, Gandalf his name is, may be able to help you." He said getting up from the table. My eyebrows scrunched together and my mouth became a slight smile. Gandalf... Gandalf Greyham like the wizard from the movies. I smiled wider at the coincidence. I watched the light shine on the ceiling that the candles in the center of the table made. That would be a fun place to be, in the Lord of the Rings. I made the name echo in my. It would be really nice if I could be in there because I would be able to meet with the amazing characters and... That's that's pretty much it.
I wouldn't want to endure what the fellowship and the people in Middle Earth had to go through. I'd probably run into a brick wall out of panic. My eyebrows rose at the shameful thought. I know that I can't help that i'm afraid of a lot of things. Well it's different if saving someone I care about. I've been known to dive into danger for the people I love without a second thought.
It's just something comes over me where I just stop thinking and feeling anything unnecessary and I become determined to do everything and anything in my power to get them out of harms way. I know that I was just getting carried away with my thoughts to think of other things unrelated to the situation at hand. Even if it did still linger in the back of my mind. I shook my head and looked down at Sparkle and I rubbed her head.
"So your friend Gandalf can help me? " I asked. I wanted to know if there was a possibility of me getting home. Radagast looked at me.
"Maybe, probably...for your sake I hope so." He said. I nodded my head. I'm sure that the worry I felt could be seen in my eyes. I then blew out of breath and looked at the darkened colored windows. What am I gonna do? I thought. I was tired and Sparkle was already falling asleep on my lap, her eyes had drifted into slits. I looked back at Radagast when he started to speak as he slanted his head to the side.
"As my guest and a lady you have the privilege of taking my bedroom of course. It Is the only room in the house i'm afraid. I myself will be staying in here." He said the last part of the two sentences while looking between the walls. Then Radagast looked back at me and nodded towards his room. I didn't want to spend the night in a strangers room, even if they weren't in it.
However I have learned in my past experiences that turning down offers like this is considered very rude when you're a guest in someone elses home. Regardless of whether or not you think they would understand your reasons for denying the offer they still take offense. I could see what happens and tell him that I don't feel comfortable spending the night in a strange mans room that I have just met... I shook my head. It still wouldn't work of course. Honesty isn't always the best policy. And so I got up and nodded my head to him in acknowledgment. As I headed towards the room I carried Sparkle and grabbed my book back from off the chair.
"Thankyou." I murmured. And with that I walked into the only room inside the small house. Now in the room I closed the wooden, which had no lock... And I noticed how dark it was besides the one candle that already lit on a small dirty wooden nightstand. The bed stood next to it had visibly ragged pillows. I squinted slightly as I looked around the room. The bed sheets looked big and filthy. I decided to lay on top of that the sheets.
I didn't necessarily have to sleep. My emotions were a little too strong for sleep anyway. I put my book bag on the pillows to lay down on. I didn't really want to touch the bed, so held onto Sparkle as I leaned my right leg onto the bed to go forward which made me fall back on my book bag when I angled my body the same direction. I put Sparkle down on my lap and she walked up to my chest and stared at me.
"I know i'm sacred to." I said looking into her dark brown eye. I was scared of what may follow this day. What was going to happen to us? Will I be found? Because I doubt I can find my own way home without any help. I patted Sparkle head as she sat down on my stomach. I kept looking around the room. Things were so quiet.
I saw that lights that shined through the cracks and under the door no longer shines. Radagast must be asleep now. I started to get tired after a few minutes and looked at my phone. It was 10:45. Yep I usually can't stay awake pass eleven. I don't think that I could take staying up for to much longer. I turned towards the door for a couple of seconds but staring at it made time seem to pass more slowly.
I decided to sing like I normally do to pass time.
"This is new, this unused
I never met no body like you
Though I fall to pieces I can't help it
You make my heart so helpless,
I forget you love, I forget you love
I look for you, you make me see
Ohh...where'd you go
Where'd you go ohhh"
I continued to sing Ellie Goulding's song Atlantis until my eyelids became heavy. I took a breath and stared up at the ceiling. I sent a prayer for strength and guidance for myself and my family. I know that they must be worried about me. I listened to the silence in the house until my hearing got used to it and then I could hear other noises coming from outside and around the home as well. I heard the trees blowing around us. And the bugs buzzing and chirping in the grass outside.
After a few sighs I grew to relaxed to stay awake and my eyelids fell. Feeling a small ball of warmth on my stomach,that was Sparkle, I slipped into the dream world.
I sat on a park bench staring straight ahead at the swings. A big tree with dark green leaves shaded me completely from the bright sunshine. I looked around the park and saw a mother taking her child's hand. She smiled dodown at him as they left the park. I looked back away from them back to the swings.
Everything is so peaceful. From the side of my eye I noticed something on my hand. I looked down at my light brown skin and saw a piece of light. I looked up at the tree I saw sun shine coming through some of the openings that the tree leaves made by overlapping with each other. In the distance I could hear the cars speed by on the road that was on the other side of the park. I looked over at them and watched the sun's reflection gleam off of them. Beside that road were white two story apartment buildings. All I could hear was my breathing and the cars. Everything was calm and quite...until I heard him.
