Dreamer

Come with us.

" Why did you say that, you know the consequences, right?!" I yelled at Kelly, fear growled at me as if it wants to consume me. I know that I told you I would have said what Kelly had said to the teenagers, but still, the consequences are unbearable to people, especially female.

" Of course I know the consequence! I'm not like you, okay? I won't shut my mouth in front of them, that's stupid, you know?" Kelly cried, she looked like she's about to cry. But what she said about me was true, I am a coward, I always don't have the courage to speak up.

Later, I watched the guards from our house. I hope I can help Kelly escape, even if I can't go with her. Tears started to ran down my cheeks, I questioned myself why I was so useless, even to my sister. Suddenly, a loud bang ran on our door. I quickly stood up, wipe my tears, and ran down to the living room. What I saw was both surprising and shocking, in front of me was the two teenagers we encountered before.

Kelly was holding a kitchen knife, pointing it to them. " Don't think I'm just a little girl, I'm not scared to do it!"

I slowly walked to them, my heart was thumping so hard I could hear it. " Um, what do you want now...we don't have anything valuable...um...uh..." I stumbled upon my words, my voice cracked, and then it was silent.

" What the hell are you doing, protect us!" Kelly scolded, sweat ran down her forehead.

" Sorry we broke in like this, we didn't meant to scare you guys. But please, you have to come with us." The teenager with white hair explained with a soft voice, it was so gentle, and he doesn't seem so rude like he did before.

" Bro, tell them your name." The teenager with the disfigured face came too, no doubt he stayed the same.

I looked at them with a confused face, why do we need to follow them? I wanted to speak up, but my voice cracked again.

" We're not coming with you jerks, so fuck out of our house!" Kelly yelled, swinging her kitchen knife to scare them.

" Safe your energy, kid. Soon, you'll have to survive on your own. Anyways, I'm Xavier, and this is Alex, my younger brother." Then, he grabbed my hand and gently tug me to wake me from the shock.

At that moment, he seem so perfect. I looked at him dreamily, and without knowing, I was being pulled onto a carriage.
