I opened my eyes wondering where i was. This definitely wasn't my room. I looked around to see cluttered toys on the floor and blank walls. Istantly I realized where I was! My old room! I swung to the side of the bed and hopped off. I ran to the bathroom and went to look in the mirror. But instead I found myself gazing up at the mirror, to short to see. I dragged a small plastic chair in front of the counter and gasped as I looked at my reflection.
Staring back at me were big round apple green eyes and rosy pink cheeks. Only they weren't on the 15-year-old face I was expecting. I was much younger. Wait a second...The peices all clicked together now. Im back at my old house when I was 5! I rushed out to the living room and stopped dead in my tracks. Is that who I think it is? No! Couldn't be!
At the table were my mom and dad...and Aiyoto and Jasper! Could it be? Really? At that moment Jasper looked my way and I quickly backed into the wall willing myself to be as flat against the wall as possible. I closed my eyes tightly and stood there. I cracked one eye open and-
"BOO!" Jasper shouted while grabbing me.
I shrieked.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Actually, that was an understatement, I screamed.
Jasper rolled on the floor laughing, and mom came running to see what was happening. I tackled him and wrestled him to the floor. Mom came over and pulled us apart. Jasper crossed his arms and smiled at me smugly, having the satisfaction that he scared my witts out of me. Not resolving to defeat, I formed a plan.
I thought of a dead puppy and tears started streaming down my face. I covered my hands with my face and began to sob. My mom hugged me and lifted me up.
"Jasper! What did I tell you about scaring your sister like that? No leaving this house for any activities, except school and training for a week!" scolded mom
"WHAT?!" he yelled
"You wanna make that 2 weeks?" she asked
"No ma'am" he replied deflated
From the back of my mom's shoulder I lifted my head and stuck my tongue out at Jasper. Jasper's eyes widened in shock and his mouth formed an 'O' of surprise. Then his shock quickly turned into anger, but only for a second. H e broke out into a goofy lopsided grin a gave me a thumbs-up. I rolled my eyes. After all this he was complimenting my skills. I couldn't help but grin.
I slipped out of my mom's grasp and ran to sit on my dad's lap. Mom and Aiyoto and Jasper all joined in forming a group hug. I sighed in content. If only I could stay here forever...surronded by family, full of love. Not a care in the world...but there was a knock on the door and mom went over to the door and she ran to get it.
"I think it's for you." she said looking at me, smiling.
I looked around, everyone was smiling at me now.
'This is so weird...' I thought confused.
I walked to the door and rested my hand on the doorknob. I looked back at everybody. They were all still smiling at me.
"Go on!" my mom urged me on.
The knocks had started coming harder and louder each time. I finally turned the knob. Suddenly, mist started swirling around me. No! This couldn't be happening! I just got used to being here and I can't leave yet! Their faces still frozen in smiles, they waved. I desperately tried to hold on to something solid but my hands slipped through everything. I started to cry.
"NO! Dont leave me!"
My vision went blurry and everything started spinning.
"Please...dont go..." I whispered
Then everything went black...and it all stopped.
I woke up with my face wet and my eyes red-rimmed. I sat there a mix of emotions running through me. I finally got up and walked to the bathroom. I wet a hand-towel with some warm water and ran it over my face. I looked in the mirror and drew comfort in the fact that it was just a dream.
I crawled back into bed and pulled the covers up to my chin and turned on my side. Then I heard a knock.
