She sat up screaming. She was breathing heavy and her heart was pounding very fast. She took a hand to her head; it was just a nightmare. She was sweaty and extremely uncomfortable. Even though it had just been a nightmare; it had felt so real. Right as she was sitting; still breathing unsteady; she heard fast footsteps outside her door. And only a moment after her mother was standing in her room. She didnt say anything; she just sat down beside bedelia and pulled her in. "Its okay, im here" her mother said softly to calm bedelia down. "we all get bad dreams, even me and im 38" She could hear the smile in her mothers words; so she smiled as well. "can you lay with me?" bedelia asked. "of course sweetie, always"
Bedelia and her mother layed down in bedlias bed; her mother holding tihgtly around Bedelia. After 30 seconds Bedelia was asleep again. She didnt have another nightmare that night.
'Bedelia? Bedelia?' A graceful Voice said. 'Bedelia?' A voice said again; though not the same voice.
She woke up; it had been her mother talking. "Goodmorning" Bedelia said and rubbed her eyes. "Its 12 o'clock in the morning sweetie" her mother said in a soft, low voice. "Already?" Bedelia said and yawned. "Yes, it is" her mother chuckled slightly. "I'll be up soon" Bedelia said and slid under her duvet. Her mother chuckled, but left Bedelia alone.
Bedelia didn't get up in another 30 minutes.
The next couple of days, until she was supposed ti leave for the Academy; she didnt do much, she just stayed at home; spending time with her mother.
It was now the evening before Bedelia would leave and her mother and her was eating icecream in the garden. "Are you sure you've packed all you need?" Her mother asked. "Yes 101% sure" Bedelia said and smiled at her mother. Her mother nodded pleased with Bedelia answer and kept eating of the icecream. "You don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine" Bedelia said and placed a calming hand on her mothers shoulder. "I know, you're a tough girl" Her mother smiled. Bedelia grinned "I guess I am"
Bedelia went to bed that night slightly nervous, and it took some time before She fell asleep.
She Was on a train when it suddenly stopped. I was getting colder, and colder; as if all air was getting sucked away.
She could hear heavy footsteps, getting closer and closer. She quickly hid under the seat. She was laying the cold metal, her cheek laying against the floor.
She heard the footsteps getting closer and even closer.
She woke up sweating, breathing heavy. It was still dark outside, but she decided to go outside. She quickly took on some jogging pants and a tank top.
She slipped on her crocks and walked downstairs. She jogged over the floor; careful not to wake her mother up.
She finally got to the door; leading out to the garden. Just as she opened the door; she could fell the cool air calming her down. Before she went outside; she took her bow and arrow.
When she had found both; she walked outside and over 15 meter from the Mark. She shot the first arrow hitting the mark,she shot another, and another, and another; always hitting by the middle mark.
When she had shot all her arrows; she was on her way to take them of the mark when someone said."Take it with you to the Academy" Bedelia quickly turned around aiming a arrow in the way the voice had come from. "No need to shoot me" the voice said again as she realized it was Ms. Pleiades. "It's just you" Bedelia said relieved. Ms. Pleiades chuckled"Who else would it be?"
"I don't know, maybe someone trying to break into my house in the middle of the night?" Bedelia said slightly annoyed that the woman just came and went as it fit her schedule. "I dont think anyone would dare coming close to you; it'd be dangerous" Ms. Pleiades said and pointed at Bedelias bow. Bedelia sighed this woman really was someting. "Why are you here?" Bedelia asked. "To tell you that you under no circumstances can take your mother to the train station" Ms. Pleiades said more serious than Bedelia gad ever seen her. "Why?" Bedelia asked confused. What was this woman on. "Because your going into the other world" Ms. Pleiades said. "The other world?" Bedelia asked slightly confused and nervous. "Yes" Ms. Pleiades said plainly. Bedelia looked at Ms. Pleiades "what's that supposed to mean?" She asked trying to pull answers up from what seemed like a big endless sea called Ms. Pleiades. "You'll see" she said. Bedelia looked to the ground and chuckled slightly "so I'm supposed to just beli-" she looked up, but Ms. Pleiades was gone. 'God save me' Bedelia sighed.
The sun came up 2 hours later; and so did Bedelias mother. Bedelia was still outside. She had packed her bow and arrows in her suitcase; she was NOT going to tell her mother that though.
"How long have you been awake?" Her mother asked. "Two hours" Bedelia said plainly. Her mother looked suprised "two hours??" Bedelia smiled "yep" Her mother nodded "okay then, but you should probably change" her mother said and chuckled. Bedelia grinned at her "i probably should"
And she did; she found a blue dress that matched her eye colour and wore it. She went downstairs again; her mother had made breakfast. "Thanks" she said filling her mouth with scrambled eggs. Her mother laughed "you look like someone who hasn't eaten in days" Bedelia nodded "it feels like i haven't" They both laughed; they always knew how to have it fun with one another.
When it was time for Bedelia to leave she remembered what Ms. Pleiades had said. 'you under no circumstances can take your mother to the train station'
Bedelia thouhgt about it for a second it wouldnt hurt if her mother left her a little away from the station. And that's what she decided, and slipped on her sneakers before walking out the door.
Her mother stopped a little away from the station; just as Bedelia had told her. "Are you sure you dont need help eith your suitcases?" Her mother asked her. "Of course, i can handle it" Bedelia said and kissed her mother's forehead. "Okay, im going to miss you sweetie" her mother said. "I'll miss you too" Bedelia said and hugged her mother tightly. She then left the car with both of her suitcases.
She then watched as her mother drove away in her car.
Both of her suitcases had wheels; which made it alot easier. She walked to the train station doors, with a suitcase in each hand. When she reached the doors; she stood a second to remember what to do when it hit her.
She knocked to times on the doors and said "Polux" A purple bright light then shone from the door edges. She backed away slowly. The light got brighter and brighter, but nobody else seemed to notice. When the light had finally faded, she opened the doors to see a much different train station. It was bigger than before and had higher ceilings, the lightning was also more impressive than the little light that that had been before. This station also looked older and the walls were curved and light brown. The platforms were also more open than open welcoming.
And with her mouth wide agape she walked through the doors. A slight wiering sound appeared as the walked through; it was like walking throuhg an electrical field.
She walked around in big station; not being able to find the train she was supposed to take. She came to the conclusion rhat she had to ask someone there; so she walked over to the first lady she saw. The lady looked like some kind of friendly hippie. "I'm sorry, but were is The Pleiades Express?" Bedelia asked the lady. The lady looked back confused to start with, but then smiled at Bedelia "Over there darling" the lady said and pointed over to a big, black, old train. "Thanks" Bedelia said and smiled. The lady nodded; as saying 'your welcome'
Bedelia walked over to the train; it was big and extremely long. On the side stood in blue 'The Pleiades Express'
She walked to the doors of the train. On the side of the door was a botton, and as most people would do; she pressed the botton. The doors; as she expected; opened. She walked in and could quickly hear voices from almost every booth in the train.
She walked down the the hallways of the train; when she finally reached a empty booth.
She walked Into the booth carrying her suitbacks after her. She pressed the suitcases through the small door leading into the booth. She sighed as she finally succeeded getting the suitcases into the booth. Now the next part was getting them up on the shelfs above her head. She struckled lifting them; but at last dhe succeeded.
She plumped down in the seat 'finally' she thought. She already knew that this was going to be a long trip.
It was going to take hours to get all the way to Scotland. She suddenly became aware that this had been the train in her dream. 'Shit. This was going to be a long ride'
