Chapter 11 - Home alone

After I got out of the shower and was ready for the day. I headed into the kitchen and saw a note on the table.

Had to take the little one to do a few things. Won't be back for a while. The butler will be there until after dinner then will be taking his leave as usual. The maids have taken care of the animals for the day. All you have to do today is your schooling. The rest will be free time for you. Please enjoy it the best you can.

Sitting at the table with a plate filled of food. just enjoying myself when the gate began to open. So I went to the study room to wait. I was waiting for so long I must have fallen asleep. In my dream someone was screaming for me to wake up. Screaming the words of Danger! Wake up! Get to safety! Next thing I knew I was running in pitch blackness. Then all of a sudden I was falling into darkness. My entire body jumped in anticipation of hitting the ground. When I woke from the freight, the entire room was dark. So I walked over to the lamp and turned it on. The whole house was as quiet as ever. My tutor never made it in? Maybe she saw me asleep and called Hope and Uri. Maybe they told her to give me the day off. I guess they could really tell how tired I was. I continued to the living room. Since that was where the big clock was. It was eight thirty. So I walked into the kitchen and noticed my breakfast dishes were still in the sink. There was nothing out for dinner either. Maybe they were bringing dinner home? No, usually they are home long before the sun sets. So I decided maybe I should try and cook something. I pulled open the fridge and noticed there was some left overs. Just looking at it made my tummy grumble. I heated it in the microwave and sat down at the table and ate on silence. That's when I heard a smashing sound coming from outside. I figured maybe the cats got into something they shouldn't. Then I heard a growl from our puppy who wasn't such a puppy anymore. Great danes are pretty big puppies. My heart began to race. So I quietly grabbed my plate with what was left on it. Placed it in the microwave and closed the microwave door. Then I heard a few noises and two voices outside through the cameras. I didn't recognize any of the voices I heard. I tried to check the cameras but I didn't see anyone out there. Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me. Still what if I'm right and someone was trying to break in. What if I couldn't see them because they already broke in. As scared as I was I did the one thing I could think of. I quickly and as quietly as I could ran to my closet. I shut the door knowing you need a fingerprint to open it or a key. which meant I would be safe in there. Relief as I reached my closet. All was silent for a very long time. Next thing I knew I heard a smashing sound. Like glass window or something like it. Now I knew something bad was going to happen. I was sitting with my knees to my chest, rocking back and forth. Terrified of knowing if they got into the house, they can very well get into my closet. I shut my eyes and prayed to be somewhere safer than this. I was wishing with all my heart to find somewhere I could be safe. Somewhere beautiful, surrounded by all things beautiful and safe and welcoming. Far from harm and danger. At first my imagination was showing me scary things. I was imagining what could happen if these people found me. I tried harder to concentrate. Then images of beauty started coming in. I pictured images of rivers flowing, oceans sparkling. Images of dolphins in the horizon, Turtles under the sea swimming along beautiful fish. Waterfalls, unicorns, fairies, beautiful green flowered vines,and butterflies everywhere. Everything I was imagining at this point was flawless and beautiful. The sun rays brought me warmth and the feel of grass made me feel comfortable. I was surrounded in a image filled with colorful, full of life, excitement and wonder. As I sat there soaking everything in I saw a dark figure and it was getting closer to me. Then in a flash everything fell dark. I shot my eyes open and heard some banging around in the next room. Terrified all over again I hugged myself even tighter and chanted over and over again. I wish I was somewhere safe and secure. Yes Safe and secure, safe and secure. My breathing became more difficult. I was now having another panic attack. Somewhere along the lines I fell asleep. I was dreaming of all different types of creatures. Some were of my favorite that derived from Greek mythology. I was with miraculous beings. There were mermaids, centaurs, fauns, weird looking sea demons and fairies. There was so much there. Probably my mind taking me somewhere I could feel safe. All these creatures are from books and movies. There were a few things I don't think I recognized but those were probably things my mind put together. I had walked over to this ever so beautifully colored vast ocean. I was taking it all in and trying to take notes of everything. If my imagination is going to be this extravagant... I might as well take notes. That way I can write about it later in the future. Lost in thought until I felt this eerie feeling come over me. As if someone or something was looking at me. Which is highly unusual since I'm pretty sure I'm asleep. Maybe it's a dream turned nightmare. Maybe I've died and this is where people go when they are dead. My heart began to race all over again. It was teaching faster than ever before. So I took off running. I'm not even sure where I'm going but running seems to be what I needed to do. My legs felt heavy so I stopped and looked behind me. All I saw was darkness with a set of red beady eyes looking my way. Have I gone to hell? I ended up at a cliff and stopped as fast as I could. I turned back around and saw the creature was still coming at me full speed. So I looked around to see if I had another choice but there was no other way to go. I closed my eyes, hands in a fist, took a deep breath, and jumped. Next thing I knew I was floating. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. I opened my eyes and realized I wasn't in the water. I was floating on it, as if the water itself was holding me up. Yup either I'm dead or this is just a really weird dream/nightmare. The water around me was very colorful. Very beautiful from where I'm sitting. This must be my afterlife. I've never seen anything like this. So I stood up, not sure which way to go. I'm not even sure I could move at all. What if I moved and fell into the water?! What if I get eaten from whatever creature lives here?! Maybe I really am dead and they aren't sure which way to send me? Will I go up or down? I decided my safest bet would be sit back down and wait patiently until my fate was decided. Not long after I realized I had to pee?! Wait I have to pee? Do dead people pee? I tried to think of something, anything that would help me not pee myself. The sound of water all around me made it pretty hard to focus on not taking a pee. Frustrated I started moving around slowly, carefully while counting. I seriously do not want to fall into the water. Then a thought popped in my head.. Uh hello your obviously dead, your floating and walking on water! I snapped out of my head and began to look around. Maybe I'll see someone in the distance. As I was looking around I noticed the water beneath me. It was getting darker and seemed to move about. My heart began to race. This must be it, they've decided which way I'm going. My mind began racing of thoughts. What if they send be to hell? What if I'll suffer and be tortured? I started to run again. I was running on water! Can this even be real? As I was racing on the water I thought I saw a mermaid. So like an idiot I decided to stop. I had to see if I was right. This thing that looked like a mermaid was amazingly beautiful. I just had to take a closer look, a better look at it. Then the thought, curiosity killed the cat popped in my head. So I turned to again but saw the beautiful glitters in the water beneath me. I was so mesmerized by the beautifully glittery water beneath me. I began to sink but it didn't even bother me. For some reason sinking sounded like a good thing. The water slowly crept up my body. It wasn't cold but nice and warm. Inviting me in it. Finally my entire body was in the water. Only I felt as if i was not drowning but breathing normally. There was no pain, so if I was drowning it was not hurting. No fear, pain or any feelings aside of acceptance washed over me. My vision had gone slightly dim. I didn't want to fight do I just closed my eyes. I felt as if I was in some kind of trace. Well until I felt a very unpleasant pinch on my arm. I was on top of the water again. I was coughing a lot. Coughing so bad I threw up. Comical thought. Even my throw up looked pretty. All glittery and colorful. I looked around me only to realize I was not alone. In fact there was a beautiful creature standing beside me. I didn't understand what it was saying our what was going on. All I knew was I was feeling dizzy and lightheaded. The world around me started to spin. I reached my hand out it and it took my hand in it's. I tried to study myself and our eyes locked. An overwhelming feeling of comfort washed over me. Other strong feelings washed over me that I can't even begin to explain. All I knew was they this beautiful creature was holding me up and it's body was warm. As I stared into it's eyes my body felt weak and my legs began to shake. A quiver and a shiver ran down my spine. I felt my body going weak as I fell. This beautiful creature said absolutely nothing as it caught me and wrapped my body in it's arms. I'm not even sure how long I was asleep but I could tell we were still walking. I felt so safe in it's arms that I wished I could stay there forever. I fell back asleep as I knew I was as safe as I could be in it's arms. Slowly I began to realize I was no longer in his arms but in a bed. I felt the heavy blanket on my body with silken sheets. The ever so fluffy pillow beneath my head. I knew it was only a dream I said to myself.
