Darkness of Emotion

Dogs Mom-nap My Mom

After my mom got kidnapped, I heard sounds of walking feet. They seemed to be in a hurry. Strangely, I saw them even before they were in sight.

"Hey Skyler?"

"Yes?"

"Did you just see some people? Because I cannot see them, but I can hear them. Am I the only one?"

"Nope... But who are they? I feel like I know them. So you?"

"Very much so."

"But who-" I was interrupted by two very familiar faces. Wendy and Carla.

"Who do you- ah.. Scarlet and Skyler. Been a while." Wendy and Carla looked very matured, like something had suddenly aged them. Both of them had a streak of white running through their hair; I wondered what had caused that.

"Yes. It is us," I said. "Now. I assume that you came on business?" I was trying my best to act unfazed, as was Scarlet.

"What is the business?" Scarlet asked.

"We are here to take you to our home." Wendy answered. So far Carla had not said a word.

"Wendy, not another word. We need to give them time to collect themselves. It might...... take awhile."

So after we got to their "home" they took us to a building where Carla and Wendy were greeted by a few kids. They took us into a secluded room and put us into chairs.

"So as you know, you are different," Wendy started. "Your hair color is different than the normal and you can sense when you are being spied on. Am I right?" She did not pause for an answer, and Carla continued. "That is because you are the Wishes of dragons. They wished you. They are very, very powerful. The most powerful dragon is the dragon Efkaria or Panta. You can interchange her name. Her twin, Synkinisi, comes after her. Then the rest of the dragons. Such as Scarlet's mom. She is the Dragon of Life. There are many, many kinds of dragons and all of the dragons except Efkaria and Synkinisi were created by the twins because they needed help in managing the Universe. Any questions? No? Good. Now, it is past curfew. Skyler, you will live with Wendy while Scarlet will live with me, since you have the same mom as Wendy and the same goes with Scarlet and I. Now off to your houses."

That night, I found Wendy playing the piano. It sounded just like it used to. I went and sat next to her. "Wendy, it is time to sleep. Let's go, please. I would hate to sleep alone. Plus, there is only one bedroom." She sighed.

"Let's go. Have you brushed your teeth? Are you comfortable in the clothes you are in?" She continued asking questions like that as I grew more and more annoyed.

"Yes I am comfortable and why should you care? Lets just go and sleep." And with that I marched into our bedroom.

That night, Wendy walked in, her grey streak shining in the moonlight. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing in particular. Just sleep. I'll put you to sleep. I know you need it." Then she sang a lullaby that I had not heard for a long, long time.

"Wendy?"

"Yes, Skyler?"

"Where is Mom? The real one. Not Landlady. She did not even count as a mother." I almost got tears in my eyes as I said this. Almost.

"Oh.. She lives in a far off world where everyone is happy and no one ever gets sad because they have everything needed. No, that place is not Heaven. Yes. That is where she lives."

"Ok.. So is Mom dead? Is Landlady dead?"

Wendy suddenly stiffened, as if troubled by a sudden thought."It's late. Go to sleep. Good night. May the Force be with you."

How does she know I like Star Wars? That is the thought that troubled me as I fell into a dreamless sleep, along with the soft piano and violin version of "Ave Maria"
