The Lost Guardian Chapter 3
-Robin-
Our eyes were both wide. Someone actually knows about me, let alone heard of me. I asked her a question.
"Excuse me, do you believe in the guardians?" I asked curiously.
She nodded slowly, still shocked.
"Do you believe...in me?"
She grinned, still shocked. And said "I do."
I smiled. I FINALLY found my chosen one. Without thinking, I gave her a big hug.
"It's really you!" I yelled.
Another girl about her age came running in.
"Oh my...is that...?" She was just as shocked as the girl I was hugging.
"Wait..." I let go of the girl. "You believe in me, too?"
"Yes, but Kaley is the one who really wanted to meet you." She smiled.
So that's the green eyed girls name; Kaley. Such a beautiful name. They led me to the couch and we sat down, me in the middle, Kaley on my right and the other girl on my left.
"I'm Jona." She shook my hand. "And that chatty girl over there is my best friend sister, Kaley."
Kaley giggled. It was so cute. She smirked, and shook my hand.
"Um...how exactly did you get back. You know, from where ever you were lost." Kaley asked.
"I don't know. All of sudden I end up in an orange grove. Not too far was this town...say...how long has it been? What year is it?"
Kaley took my hand. "It's 2013, Robin."
My eyes widened.
"Are you OK?" She looked me in the eyes. She was so beautiful. I gazed at her. She must have noticed, cause she grinned. "What?"
"Oh, uh yeah I'm OK. Thanks." We smiled.
All of a sudden, someone came in.
"Jack, look! It's Robin Rain!" Jona stated excitedly.
It was Jack Frost.
"What?" He looked at me.
"It's the lost guardian." Kaley said as she smiled.
Jack came over to me. "I don't understand. How are you even here?"
I explained to him what had happened. He had the same reaction as the two girls. We all talked, then it started getting late. Jack left later on, tucking Jona into bed. But I didn't have anywhere to go.
"Robin, you can sleep here on the couch if you want." Kaley suggested.
I smiled. It's as if she read my mind. "Thank you."
Kaley got out a pillow and a puffy blanket. She fluffed the pillow, and grinned while doing so. I wonder what she was thinking. I got in a comfortable position, and she put the blanket over me. She kissed my forehead and whispered "goodnight, sweet dreams". Then she walked to her bedroom and closed the door.
I woke up with wet eyes. I looked around, still in Kaley and Jona's apartment. I must have had a nightmare. It was still dark outside. After about ten minutes, I realized I couldn't go back to sleep. My eyes were wide open. I stared blankly at the ceiling and started to daydream a little. I couldn't help but think of Kaley. She's beautiful, sweet, and best of all, she believes in me. Jona does too, but it's just something about Kaley that gets a light drizzle in my stomach. Then I got an idea, more of an urge.
I got up and knocked on her bedroom door a couple times. After a few seconds, she opened the door. Her eyes were droopy and her hair was a little messy. She was wearing a green robe.
"What's wrong, Robin?" She asked, in a tired way.
"I'm sorry, I can't sleep. I was wondering if I can hang out in your room for a while."
She blinked, then gave me a tiny smile. "Come on in."
I followed her into her room. There was a green bean bag chair, a wooden coffee table, a small closet, a dresser, a couple shelves, and a twin sized bed with a green sheet on it, but no pillow. I looked at her and stared.
"Where's your pillow and blanket?" I asked, crossing my arms.
She didn't say anything, but simply gave a tiny laugh and looked the other way. I continued to stare at her, realizing what she did.
"You gave me your pillow and blanket?" I looked at her in disbelief.
She nodded.
"That's very sweet." I pulled her into a hug.
"I couldn't sleep either, in fact I've been up for a while. I'm glad you're here, though." She smiled. "You wanna sit in the bean bag chair?"
"Sure." We both sat down in the squishy chair, then we laughed.
"I have a question." I stated.
"What is it?" She asked.
"When you were fluffing the pillow, I noticed you were smiling. What were you thinking about?"
She rested her head back, and smirked. "It's nothing, it's stupid."
I turned my body to face hers. "You can tell me anything."
She sighed, and looked me strait in the eyes. "When I was younger, I always believed that fluffing my pillow would bring me good luck."
I smiled, and rested my head back, too. "I think that's the complete opposite of stupid."
She blushed. "Thank you."
I had an idea. I went into the living room, grabbed the blanket and pillow, then came back to her room. She giggled. I sat back down, put the pillow behind our heads, fluffed it, then put the blanket around us. She gripped the edge of the blanket and moved to where all you could see was her beautiful face and hair. She gave me a cute smile and scrunched up her nose. I returned the smile.
We talked for a very long time. I got to know so much about her. I told her a few things about me, too. She rested her head on my chest when she started feeling tired. I played with her soft hair. It must have made her even more comfortable because she made a soft hum and wrapped her arms around me. I put my arms around her too. I blushed. I've never had this feeling before. The feeling of opening my heart to someone new. After a while, she fell asleep in my arms. Then, I fell asleep, smiling.
