I'm laying in the green pasture trying to stretch my hand out to the stars.
I'm enjoying the cold evening breeze on my cold pale face.
Then I hear a horse running. The sound becomes louder. It's coming closer, there are more horse's. But then I feel a hand, tapping me on the shoulder with a warm voice he tells me.
'' Clara hold my hand and run".
The confusion, the overwhelming panick that I feel. Should I hold this stranger's hand? The horses on the background, I know that they are coming closer. I have no more time to hesitate. I grab his warm hand and follow wherever he brings me.
We start running who knows where. he pulled me down this hill and said.
"try not to make to much noise
or they will find us"
I asked with a panicking voice
" who will find us, what is happening?"
"clara there is so much I want to tell you but this is not the right moment"
"What do you mean? How do you even know my name?"
" Clara these are questions you already know, its up to you to remember them. Its time to wake up and turn back to us"
"turn back to us?"
Im more confused then I was before. I'm out of breath from running, I can feel my heart pumping blood trough all the veins in my body. Why does he look so familiar? Did I really know everything and forgot about it?
Wait a minute....
"What do I need to remember, I don't understand, how do I remember something I don't know about?"
He is fading away. I tried to hold him, I needed answers. But there I was laying in bed with the annoying alarm going off
Then I heard my auntie Jenna screaming downstairs.
" CLARA TURN YOUR ALARM OFF AND GET DOWNSTAIRS, BREAKFAST IS GETTING COLD AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL AGAIN"
"Alright I'm coming"
I put on the clothes that I hath put ready before I went to bed yesterday night. I put my long curly reddish hair in a loose ponytail. Took my breakfast and started running to my ride.
" love you Jenna see you after school"
I yelled before closing the door behind me.
And there he was, Felix my best friend waiting for me at the bus stop.
" Hey sleepyhead you made it on time!"
"ha ha very funny Felix" he gave me one of his warm mischievous smile's that made me forget all my troubles.
"Get in the car snowflake" he said
It is 8:30 am.
The bell is going to ring in 15 minutes.
I tap Felix on the shoulder and said,
" Felix we're a little early could we go to the bakker across the street and buy some doughnuts"
He gave me one of his smiles again and said,
" For u I would cross more then just the street to get you that doughnut, Everything is better than you getting grumpy because of an empty stomach"
Its hard not to fall for him, with his lang height, good build body, dark brown eyes, mischievous smile and that damn deep voice. Why did he have to be so cute, nice, warm. Would he feel the same as I feel for him?
No time to think about it for now I need a doughnut.
I gave hem a giggle and we went to buy that doughnut.
Felix told me that he was going to the bathroom for a second.
While Felix was on the bathroom a very tall guy with a dark blue hoodie gave me a note and said.
" read it somewhere privet don't let anyone see it or you could be in trouble"
before I could ask what it was he was already gone. When Felix came out of the bathroom I couldn't keep it to myself so I told him about the note.
He slightly bended his knees and looked me straight in the eyes.
"Clara you don't need to panic alright? Let's open the note and see what it says after school, so you don't get distracted. Could you give me the note please? It would temp me less then is would temp you."
Somewhere I didn't have a good feeling about him having the note, but
I know he was right. With a lot of hesitation I finely gave him the note.
"you better don't read it without me. Its was given to me in the first place."
"I will do my best" he said
But something just didn't feel right.
I pushed the doubt away.
Don't be ridiculous Clara. The baddest thing that could happen is him reading it before you, everything will be just fine relax...just relax...
The bell rings.
While Mr.patch was giving his class I just couldn't pay any attention. I needed to know what was written on that note.
Especially after the guy told me that I could be in trouble. I rest my head on my desk and I can hear the background fading away.
I see him. The guy from my dreams.
He was standing there by the pond.
With his mysterious looks. He was looking down the water like there was something there. Something important. Something I knew about.
Is this what i needed to remember?
" didn't anyone teach you that staring is rude clara"
He said after he turned around.
I could see his light brown hair and silver grayish eyes.
He also hath that scar on his face.
Hmm I really don't remember him having a scar on his cheek was it there all the time.
There it was a flashbacks.
I hear screaming voices in the background.
"Protect khione!!. Get her out of here.
Jimin protect her with your life!!"
"I will my Queen i will protect her with more then my life"
I see fire. Big flames getting bigger and bigger, smoke everywhere, people panicking. I hear the sounds of swords people trying to protect each other and there.... A man running up to him!!.
I panick what do i do, he's going to hurt that boy. I try running in his direction but the harder i run, how further away he gets.
"Stop it, he's just a little boy, doesn't anyone hear me?"
Nobody seems to notice me. Is this one of my flashbacks? The part I needed to remember?
The man takes his sword and cut a little cut on the boys cheek.
"Are you still there clara?"
I come back to reality and realize that I'm standing at the pond. He must be the boy who got cut for protecting khione.
"You?!. You are the boy that got cut!." I said
"So you do remember everything"
" It really happend?"
"why won't you just read the note I gave you"
" Did you gave me that note I thought that you where just one of my imaginations"
" Its time for you to wake up Clara"
I hear a voice. Its felix his voice. I try to process the dream I just had.
And then I hear it. Its Felix telling me to wake up.
"c'mon snowflake it's time to read the note"
Felix brought us to stella's, our favorite hangout Cafe. They literally have one of the best hot chocolate milk. The kind that would remind you of your childhood. As if you came back inside after playing hour's outside on a snowy day. When your Mom tells you to change your clothes and to warm up a little.
Everytime when we're at stella's I get this weird flashbacks.
I was about 6 years old, I was playing outside in the snow, without feeling any cold. I never get cold not even on the coldest Winter day's. En there are 2 guys a little older then me. We would play for hour's.
I remember a woman yelling
"khione come inside its getting dark!"
That woman looked so beautiful, she gives me so kind comfort I didn't know i needed. I can feel the warmth just thinking about it.
She was not that tall, white hair,snow white. She hath heterochromia eyes.
I always used to think that she was my mother. But Jenna told me that my mother died when she gave birth to me. She said that i mistake my dreams for reality, but there is something that makes it feel so real. And somewhere deep inside i still believe that she is my mom...
***Back to stella's***
Felix ordered a banana milkshake and of course i went for the hot chocolate.
" Could you put some extra whipped cream ma'am" I asked to the waitress
"Of course sweetheart, I'll be back in a second"
I look at Felix. He looks worried. How can someone look so cute even when they look worried? Why is he even worried? Did he already read the note without me?!!!
I put my hand on his and look straight in his dark brown eyes. He grabs my hand back and starred right back. I tried to controle my heart that started beating like crazy, it felt like my heart was going to jump out my chest. Why did he have to be so cute?
"Did you read the note?" I asked as serious as possible
"Of course not"
"Well what are you waiting for, lets read it"
Felix is looking super nervous at me.
"1 banana milkshake and a hot chocolate milk with extra whipped cream, enjoy it guys"
"Thank you ma'am" we both said at the same time
Felix is playing with his straw. It looked like he was trying to find a way to get out. I could hear his feet tapping on the floor. Why was he stressing this much?.
After a while he finally starts talking.
"Clara there is a problem. I lost the note." He said while he tried avoiding eye contact.
"You did what?!" I said in disbelieve
"AAghh Felix why" I started to get extremely mad. I could feel my face turning all the way red. How could he loose it?
"I'm sorry Clara" he said with the most innocent face in the world.
...Sorry my a**. How was i going to find out what the note said. It looked so important. What about the boy in my dreams. AAghh FELIX. ...
"That's ok, I guess it wasn't that important in the first place. At least I learned something." I said while holding my hot chocolate milk.
"What did you learn?"
"Not to trust my best friend ever again. Felix I'm so mad. How could you do this. I litterly trusted you with it." I felt my anger becoming worse. The hot chocolate milk cup begon to get a thin layer of ice on it. Because of my anger i didn't even realize it.
Felix noticed the thin layer on my cup and smacked it on the floor.
" Oh I'm sorry Clara, let me clean this up"
He went to the waitress and asked for some paper towels. He cleaned the mess he hath made. But he was still avoiding eye contact.
" Why did you slam that cup out of my hand " I asked after he sat down again.
He gave me no answer.
"Are you just going to ignore me? First you loose the note, then you won't face me and know you slam my cup out of my hand."
I tried to look at his reaction. But nope i got no response. Maybe he really felt bad for loosing the note.
After a while i stood up and asked him if he could bring me home.
We didn't talk the whole ride. It was the most awkward 15 minutes in my life. And i wasn't going to start a conversation. Not before he apologized.
"Thank you for the ride" i said as cold as possible not looking in his direction.
" I'm sorry Clara, I will make it up. I promise"
*At home*
"Hey sweetie how's school." Jenna asked while she was watching one of her favorite telenovelas. On the sofa.
"It was okay. I just wished that high school diploma would be enough, but as you know someone wanted me to do university."
Jenna started laughing
" One day you will thank me for this" she said
" Ha sure i will " i said a little sarcastic and a little funny
"Jenna i actually don't feel that great at the moment i will be in my room."
"Alright sweetie tell me when you need something"
I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and said "I will"
Finely home. I laid in bed, en took my diary.
Dear diary, today was a pretty long day. I got a mysterious note from a mysterious guy. But guess what happend... Indeed Felix took the note and lost it. I don't understand myself, why do I get mad for a note that I got from a stranger. I got pretty mad at Felix, I should probably apologize.
But on the other side I really don't want to, especially since he lost something that didn't belong to him. Dear diary I hath one off these weird dreams again. They start to become more real.... more like...more like it's calling me.
I close my diary and started thinking...
