The Nocturne of the Labyrinth
~Chapter 2~
Whisper's of dreams
Lightly a breeze stroke her deep black hair. Whispering tender kisses. Billowing her midnight blue garments. Dazzled her eyes wandered down. To her midnight blue dress that laid perfectly around her. Gently. Then over her surroundings. A windswept hill. Scattered, half dead plant all around her. The sun shining dim even if it should be midday by now. What was wrong?
„This is not how it should be…"
Again she looked around her. There. The clock. But even this peace of artistic work with its 13 numbers looked rusted. Broken. Forgotten. Sad. Shaking her head she let her eyes wander over to where it should lay. Her Dream. Her biggest adventure. Her sanctuary from the real world. Her HOME. Yes, she knew that it was what she was looking for all these years. But what she saw was not what she expected.
What she expected was a huge maze. Grand in its shine. Its aurora. But what she saw was the reason she held her breath. Why she was swallowing the tears that threatened to fall. The labyrinth and its surrounding lands. Withering. Dieing. The plants that would stubbornly grow everywhere laid now near dead on the ground. The maze itself was in gray shades. The waves of its aurora feeling sad. Pleading.
„No…"
Taking some a handful of her dress she quickly ran down the hill. In the direction she knew would bring her towards the gate. Towards him. She slowed down after seeing the outer wall of the maze. Even direct at the maze the plants looked terribly sick. Pacing slowly to the pond where she had seen him the first time she sighted. He wasn't here. She sat down on the edge. The pond was dry. And she could peer into its depts. It really was deeper then it first seemed. But she had learned this fact fast. Nothing is as it seemed.
Upon hearing a sound her head shot up. She looked around but saw nothing. There. Again. A almost inaudible bell like sound. She followed. Being lead towards the maze again. And there in the heart of the plants. Covered by them for safety. She saw the tiny fairy. Glowing slightly. Paler then usually and her hair almost white. It was the same fairy that had bitten her, so long ago. Slowly she extended her hand towards the fragile creature. Making hushing sounds so not to scare her. At first the little thing looked upon her with panic. But somehow, as the fairy looked into her eyes she seemed relaxed. Almost contend. Carefully she scooped her up and sat down.
„Poor thing. What happened? Who did this to you?"
She watched as the little fairy tried to say some thing but didn't have the strength to say something. At this she couldn't hold back her tears any more. How could this have happened? Who could be so heartless as to do this to these poor creatures. Let the maze die. Peace for peace?
Snickering could be heard. Gleeful laughter. She looked around her but could not see anything. Cupping the little fairy she held her to her chest. Protecting her. But the laughter didn't ease. Got more threatened. Whispers. Carried be the wind.
All your fault...yours...
„What…? Who..?"
Because of you they have to die...because of your childish behavior...
„Me…? This happened because of me…?"
More tears spilled over her cheeks. But before she could think anything else she felt a light sting on her palm. Looking down she opened her hands and looked straight in the eyes of the little fairy. It seemed to want to tell her some thing but she could feel it getting weaker and weaker.
„A...Aziza…Ada..eze..."
her little, fragile hand that she had reached with towards her fell low limp. The light glow just faintly there. Getting weaker at the moment.
„No...NOOO!"
Screaming as Sarah awoke she sat upright in her bed. Tears falling from her cheeks. Her eyes full of agony. Her door was suddenly slammed open and revealed another female. But Sarah didn't register it. Just looked from one shadow to the other. Still screaming. Running towards Sarah she tried to calm her.
„Sarah...calm down...it's ok sweet's...nothings there..."
Sarah took heavy breaths and shut her eyes so not to see anything but darkness. To only feel her friends warm embrace. And slowly she calmed down.
„Da - Dajina..?"
„Yes Hun', it's me...it's only me."
Hugging Dajina more fiercely Sarah broke into tears again.
„Oh God. Dajina. I...it felt so real..."
„What happened? A bad dream? Tell me Sar', you know it will be better then…"
Yes she knew. It always was. Her nightmares were plaguing her ever since. But the few last were different. Not just to the limit exhausting but more soul squeezing. Dajina hugged her and laid beside her stroking her hair.
„I...I don't remember…"
„Oh, one of those again…"
That was exactly the problem. She never remembered these new ones. Only scratches in her memory. Never The story, but only the feelings. And those she hated the most. She didn't think the memory would be as bad as just the feeling alone. Wanting to scream but never able to be loud enough. Wanting to hurt herself but never being able to level the pain to these feelings. They were slowly making her insane. Slowly drowning her. But as soon as Dajina would hold her. As soon as Sarah would try to explain. The pain would ease. Not fully vanish but ease to a level she could handle.
„It...I just remember that something didn't seem right. And then sorrow. Going always deeper down…"
Dajina was silent she knew she just had to listen until she would fall a sleep.
„Dajina... I – I know I should remember these dreams. It like there calling to me, but I can't grasp them. Sometimes I think I got them but then the memory's just vanish again. I don't think I can take this any longer. I got the feeling that something is going to happen…"
slowly Sarah was spacing out to the deep oblivion.
„what Sar' ? what will happen..?"
„Some – something ... big..."
Then she was out. Sleeping again. Slowly Dajina stood up and walked over to her window. Closing them she peered out into the night. Remembering how Sar' and she had found each other. Sar' was on a summer vacation actually. And she was working on the farm that she was sleeping in. Dajina didn't have it as easy as now. Her parents died early and a neighbor gathered her up and let her work on his farm. Mr. Henson.
The work was hard and now new employer was very strict. But she had three meals a day, a roof over her head and a bed to sleep in at night. Because he was a very old man he couldn't do everything himself, so instead of going to school she stayed on the farm. Doing the chores he couldn't. her only bright moments were in the evenings. When she had done all her chores. Mr. Henson would take her to his study on the second floor and teach her to read, to Wright, to do Math and show her how history could be exiting. Up to the time she met Sarah she could be in senior year in high school. At the age of 14.
On the first night Sarah had had nightmares. Not the level she had now. But still shocking. She went up to her room and just wanted to see if the girl was alright. As she knocked and she only heard muffled sobs she entered and saw her rolled up to a ball sobbing if the world would fall down. Dajina gathered her in to her arm's. Felling drawn to the crying girl. Just calmed her. And they talked. Night for night the same process. By the time that Sarah had only a few days left they were like twin sisters. Dajina made her laugh and Sarah gave her the first and best friend she had ever had. Sarah eventually told her that she had been having such dreams since the spring.
Dajina was to say the least, shocked. She asked if it had any reason but Sarah couldn't tell. It happened after a night she had to watch over her little brother Toby. She passed out that night. And then it just started.
At the end of Sarah's vacation Dajina was heartbroken. It felt as if a part of her was ripped away. A half year later Mr. Henson died. But before he gave her the Farm. And with that she had enough money to go after Sarah. She found her in a pitiful state. Her parents didn't seem to realize what she had to live through night after night. They didn't even noticed that she had been living under the same house as them for the first three months. Now it was six years later.
Again Dajina looked at Sarah. Her Sarah. Her cute little sister. Because that is what she became. And damn. For the love of the nine lords. She wouldn't let her be in pain if she could do anything about it.
With that exact thought she laid herself beside her sister. Took her in her arms and slipped into a dreamless sleep.
Soooooo, I do hope that I got all the wrong words, grammar and so on…. It kinda surprises me myself that I got this up so fast ;P I was sleeping last night and then it just came.

And I had the perfect idea how to turn this so I like it ;D this isn't the actual idea but its like the prologue for it^^ deepens the relationship between Sarah and Dajina.
