Cloe's POV
I groan as I peek my eyes open. "Hi," I mutter groggily. I hear the little girl giggle. "Hello," She replies happily. I yawn and strech.
"What are you so happy for?" I ask, crossing my arms. "Nothing," She replies. I shrug and brush it off.
"Tired?" She asks. I nod and lean against something soft. "You won't be in just a second," She says. I look at her with confusion and blink.
"I have a surprise for you!" She exclaims. I arch my eyebrows and hum, telling her to go on. She fades away, leaving me to wait for her to come back. She appears with a taller figure behind her. She has a bright smile on her face. She comes forward, with the figure behind her following. I study them. Fairly tall, a little bit longer than shoulder length hair, blonde. I recognize it instantly. Ant. My mouth drops as I pull my hands up to my face. "N-No!" I yell. He smirks and opens his arms. I run towards him, flinging myself into his arms. He wraps his arms around me, causing me to snuggle into his chest. Tears slip from my eyes, soaking his hoodie. He pats my back and nuzzles his face in my hair. My breathing gets heavier and I start shaking.
"I miss you!" I shout into his torso. He shushes me and rocks me back and forth. "I miss you too," He mutters calmly. He kisses my head and hugs me tightly.
"Please, where are you?" he asks, pulling away from the hug and cupping my face in his hands. He wipes my tears with his thumbs and looks in my dull eyes. "H-Home," I mumble.
"Your old home?" He asks. I nod. "The girl told me that she puts something in the food and air that causes me to forget everything. This is the only place I can remember anything," I tell him. He sighs and puts his forehead to mine.
"You need to get out of there for at least 5 hours for it to wear off, but as it is wearing off, you get the urge to go back home," The girl suddenly speaks. Ant looks at her and smirks. "I have an idea," Is the last thing he says before he fades away. I reach out for him, but fall on my hands and knees.
My eyes snap open, sweat dripping down my body and dried tears on my cheeks. I rub my face with my hands and pull my cover off of me. I sigh and stand, stumbling to my bedroom door. I head downstairs and into the living room.
Ah, sorry for the shorter chapter again. This was just kind of a filler? You'll see in the next chapters what happens ;)
