I've got it! I finally got it! Oh my gosh, what happens if she finds out I took it?!" Cleo paces her room with the necklace dangling at her fingers. She smiles and laughs at what she pulled. She couldn't believe she got it! Cleo taps her mirror and shakes the necklace at it
"Hey! Creepy Storm! I got it! What next?"
Silence and her own reflection was the response. She rolled her eyes and shoved the necklace under her pillow as her mother came inside.
"Hey honey, I heard you went over to Sky's house. How was that?"
"Fun"
"What did y'all do together?"
"Just homework"
"Sounds nice. I just wanted to tell you your father and I love you dearly and we're glad that you've been out of the house and with friends! We're so happy you're becoming more social"
"Thanks, mom"
Her mother nods and gets up to leave till she looks back at Cleo
"Dinner is downstairs, by the way. It's lasagna"
"Thank you, mom. I'll go downstairs in a few"
' "I love you"
"I love you too"
Once her mother left, she left too to head downstairs to scarf down her dinner and head back upstairs quickly. All night, Cleo just researched the hourglass, to see if this would be valuable to sell on Etsy. She gave up on a price tag, as she went to the bathroom to brush and wash her face, till she slipped into sweats and a random t-shirt on the floor to get into bed. Her hands held the hourglass delicately in her hands. She shoved the hourglass under her pillow and went to sleep. As she slept, her dreams started off with Storm and her at the Catfe, talking about each other 's and interests, laughing and giggling together as they were caught up in all their cuteness. Cleo smiled till she looked at the window, only to see herself staring back. She shook her head to look at Storm, but he disappeared. In fact, everything in the cafe disappeared, including the building herself, as all that stood was her, and her duplicate.
"Who are you?"
"I'm you"
"Yea, I can see that. But, what are you?"
"Oh, you're not comfortable with this body, here, let me appease you"
The person morphed into Storm, smiling at her.
"This is just a dream, but, this is an interesting dream"
"What's a dream is that you believe that boy liking you. But, I can make that a reality."
"How?"
"Follow my steps, and you should be on your way to be with that silly boy."
"Okay, what do I have to do?"
"Just say my name tomorrow night, all shall be yours."
"Mm...okay"
Cleo chuckled lightly till she felt her knees buckling and herself falling into darkness, only to wake up in the morning sunrise.
