waking up

She is so dizzy when a sharp pain wakes her up again.  The first thing she sees are the ocean blue eyes of the boy smiling down at her.  As he gently touches her cheek, she falls asleep once again.  His voice is so far away to her, asking someone to heal her injuries.  It sounds calm and her body sinks into a more restful sleep.

When her eyes flutter open once again, she can move her arm again!  She wriggles her fingers and lets out a giggle at them.  The quiet voices stop and the man who carried her comes into sight.  She asks how she got fixed?  A fuzzy memory about her Daddy's broken leg, that took forever to fix.  The man smiles at her and points to the boy who has walked in behind him.

As she feels her soul perk up, she spots the boy from the playground.  He smiles at her sadly "I'm sorry that I didn't pull you fast enough."  "I didn't get pulled by you, I fell" is her quiet whisper back.  The boy still looks sad "I didn't want you to get hurt.  You are safe now, don't be scared.  My men were supposed to have gotten you quicker but something detained them".  Not knowing those big words, she just smiles and doesn't feel scared anymore.  She just feels happy to be with them.  They ask her to take another nap as she was just healed and needs to get her strength back.

When she wakes up, she is quick to discover they are in a small clearing with a tiny tent.  There are a small group of men who work with the boy and the nice man who carried her, they make some yummy food that makes her tummy nice and full.  After they all eat, she finds a tiny little snake climbing on a tree stump.  She doesn't notice how everything goes dead silent.

Emitting a tiny scream, she feels pulled up again.  The nice man is holding her and is hidden among the trees.  She tries to talk but he puts a finger to his lips and shushes her.  She slowly becomes more terrified, a horrible feeling rushes thru her and fear makes her cold.  Whining a little, she catches the eyes of the boy.  He smiles and points in front of her.  The tiny snake is now wriggling in the air in front of her hands.  As she tries to reach out for the little snake, she finds that she can't move.  But the nice man is just holding her under her arms, she should be able to move.

She sees a glimpse of light down the path from the clearing.  The feeling of dread is growing as it comes closer.  There are voices calling for her, but they don't seem like nice voices.  Looking around, she sees all the men hidden within the trees.  As she tries to wriggle a bit, there is a jolt of pain.  She holds still again.  The pain stops and while the tears run down her face, the first person steps into the clearing.  They look mad, why would they be mad?  They seem to look right at her but they don't say anything.

Everything happens so fast, the people seem to vanish, the lights go out and there are muffled sounds coming from all around them.  The pain rushes thru her head and a frightening darkness claims her.
