-_-Heather's POV_-_
Your fear is your weapon.
That's what my dad used to say.
I miss them.
Maybe I am worth it. But the mystery around me is killing me.
It ain't something I wanted.
The plans God has made for me aren't fine.
But at the same time they are. I have felt myself getting strong, stronger and stronger.
The untold truth my parents have been hiding will soon get off of the curtains.
My Grandma's Diary is all that would help me.
I wish I could get it before my parents threw it into the red flames.
Getting off of the main door. I was ready to face whatever was there waiting for me behind the dark wood.
Maybe I won't be able to come back but, I still will. For my grandma I will fight.
With a large Earthen pitcher, I stepped in to the woods.
Snakes, crabs, insects and big water bodies and animals all always wait for their prey.
But they never touched me.
Maybe because my grandma's blessing are as always saving me?
Going ahead near the river I was ready to put my pot in it when,I remembered my grandma saying...
" Stay away from water honey, it is not safe for you. "
But I have been collecting water now since years nothing has went wrong till now.
Maybe she was again thinking crazy.
Or maybe she was right?
I wrapped myself up and was ready to challenge my death.
I put my pot in and it filled without of any harm.
Nice.
It was all going fine until I heard voice.
Something maybe behind me or around me I couldn't tell but without thinking I ran out of the woods straight to my house.
I felt like crying because that feeling was actually unforgettable.
I was in but my attention was still on what happened just a few seconds ago.
It took me a minute to realise that the pitcher was on more in between my hands but was scattered all over the floor.
Yea it did scared me but I guess my grandma got more traumatized.
I heard her shouting.
I couldn't think but just ran straight to her room.
There she was.
Her palms on her ears, her eyes tightly shut, lashes touching her dark circles, her mouth wide open asking for help.
It indeed was a really terrifying scene but I had to fight.
I tried to calm and claim her into my embrace but she just got worse.
I should've tried to handle it calmly but it wouldn't be a good choice as she could get even worse if not stopped within a minute.
I shouted.
"Have you gone made grandma? "
Those words were harsh but it stopped her.
" I won't be able to save you now "
She said anxiously.
It isn't new for me, everytime I break an utensil my grandma take it as a bad sign and ask me to hide.
" He will take you away from this world "
I don't know who that he is.
Its not like I never asked the reason or tried to know about her past, I did but, it never worked.
" Calm down granny "
I comforted her and with that soon she slept. But I guess today I had to stay awake.
I woke up with a loud hiss.
My body was sweating as fuck.
My heart was beating in my brain and my lips were getting dehydrated.
I looked up just to see my grandma sleeping peacefully.
Like she never asked me to wake up.
Like her fingers never touched my skin.
I looked at glass of water which was also behaving like nothing happened.
I looked around just to find the sunrays getting inside the room like a robber.
It left me in chaos.
I got up as the chair was now showing me it's worst side as if I were the one who designed it.
I finally stood still just to fall back.
My eyes were swollen
Maybe I was becoming like a doll that looks so beautiful?
They have baggy eyes, I know.
That was it when I felt a sharp pain in my navel.
Broken memories of my parents, their gossips, their secrets, the woods, the river bank and my past.
This is what I've been dreaming about since years.
I was dreaming and dreaming in my own dream.
I was going deeper and deeper.
But I managed to wake up.
Just to find out that now it was the reality.
I pinched myself just to check if it was another dream or I was back to the reality.
I realized that the pain, fear and tears I witnessed in my dream were really real.
I looked around just to find my grandma trying to get some water for herself.
Pity. Isn't she?
I stood and went to catch her before she falls off of the bed.
She looked at me with a bright smile like nothing happened last night.
I smiled back.
"Granny why so happy today? "
"Yours parents are coming back honey"
Again she is missing them.
"Yes, they are"
I said with the same charming smile cuz I can't see her getting sad again.
"For now lets get some Vitamin D"
She nodded with a bright sorrow charming face.
