Another Dimension

Chapter 11-Blissful Sleep

For after many years, I woke up without a bead of sweat trailing from my body. It was the best sleep I ever had ever since.

I got up and saw the clear window which is next to my bed. The sun hasn't risen yet, but it was clear enough to see what was going in the camp.

The wolves were still outside. And not even a single human being was found.

I didn't feel sleepy, so I decided to get up. I got up and was on my way to the bathroom, but I stopped by Carol's room to check whether she was awake.

I don't need to go inside the room to check whether she is in. I just need to stand next to the door and I can hear her loud snore very clearly.

I went inside the bathroom and looked at the mirror first. My hair looked a bit messy but not as worse as how it usually looked every morning. Far better. I was wearing the same dress that I wore when I came into this dimension or the dress I wore the night before. Loose linen long white sleeve top and gray sweatpants.

Worst first impression.

Since I woke up early and didn't have anything to change into I decided to brush my teeth and wash my face.

I went inside my room and thought of looking around a bit more. There is the bed which I slept in during the night towards the window. A long shelf next to the entrance of the room filled with some books. A big wardrobe right in front of me.

I don't think I ever opened the wardrobe before. So, I decided to open it.

But first I covered my nose with my hand worried if there will some dust poofing out of the wardrobe.

I opened it and I was surprised to see that there were quite a lot of clothes kept in there already.

And more surprisingly there was my size.

The wardrobe had three shelves. The first shelf, which wasn't that high, was filled with shirts of all kinds. The second shelf, which was a bit above my torso, was filled with pants of all kinds. And the last shelf was filled with quite a lot of shoes. They were all perfectly arranged.

I quickly took a shower and got changed.

I was wearing a white top and blue jeans with my regular fish plait with black casual sneakers. I opened the door of our main cabin and stepped out of the porch. The sun has come up a bit. The wolves were not outside. Everything was silent.

Absolutely silent.

I looked around the campfire pit which was extinguished. Still no sign of any living being. I went and sat on the place where I sat last night and looked up at the sky.

I felt a light breeze on my face making my hair move a bit. My mind suddenly started bringing all sorts of horrible memories that I had in my previous dimension.

The nightmare I always wake up with. My own friends who bullied me. My first stage fright.

All these things which I never told anyone. They started coming at me one at a time.

I was not able to bear it. So, I kept both hands on both sides of my head and started breathing and stopped when I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. Warmer than the current climate.

I turned my head to see Elijah. Who looked pretty refreshed. He came and sat next to me and asked, "Are you alright?" My heart fluttered again. Just like how it fluttered when Carol asked me. I didn't know why then but I why know.

I always kept a brave face in front of everyone. No matter how much I am bleeding in or out. No matter what. Because I always felt superior towards the needs of others than for needs for myself. So, I gave up on everything for people around me. And when I don't they think I am selfish, cold, or a coward.

As for Elijah's question, I just nodded. Controlling all sorts of urges to cry. Because I don't want to embarrass myself again.

Elijah got up and left after getting my nod. And I let out my tears not bursting out loud.

The camp was filled with noises as the sun was completely up. I went with Carol and the others for breakfast.

I didn't feel like eating anything and had a cup of breakfast tea.

Carol who was shocked by the announcement last night looked a bit relieved. I was a bit worried about her because when we were at our cabin last night I heard some sort of sniff coming from her room.

We both went to the training ground. Carol left me with Robert (or the spy) and went inside the weapon room for a weapon. Robert came towards me and said, "I am sorry about my worst first impression. For doing that." I gave him my expressionless face and stood allowing him to continue. "So, I have decided to give you some training for the sword fight. Since you were able to get a grip on the sword. Guess we can start with combat skills. Do you have any questions?" There was a lot. "You going to give me combat skills as in someone who is an inner fighter?" "Yes, you are correct." This guy's Spanish accent started to give me the chills. "Ok great."

"So, let's get started with your training then."
