Claudette's Flashback

 >>>>>>>>>> Little Claudette Anderson's POV <<<<<<<<<<

     It was a cold Friday night on December 10th. I was 7 yrs. old back then. I was sitting on my bed with my pink lamp on. Nothing to think of anything except for those fairy tales or magical creatures my grandma used to tell. She told me about Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, Jack Frost and Sandman. I believed in them in all of my life, yet I never met nor saw them. I slowly got up and went near to my window and opened it to see the moon shining so bright. The moonbeam hit my face showing my slightly wavy dirty blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes that matches my pale skin and my light blue nightgown. I pouted my light pink lips and frowned thinking that those things that grandma told me weren't real. I sighed and checked my digital clock. It was 11:58 pm. I decided to lay back down on my bed and closed my eyes. Then I suddenly thought about the boogeyman my older brother used to tell me about that would always give me nightmares and it would later become good dreams. I opened my eyes to observe anything that is dark. I quickly decided to sleep rather than imagining that the boogeyman is there but I couldn't. I'm so frustrated at that time because I would sleep whenever I want to. Fear seems to conquer my body, seemingly that I felt my body paralyzed because of it.

     A minute passed by, my body suddenly jumped out of surprise when I heard something went inside my room by the window. It was a little man covered with golden sand and seeing that he was pointing his index finger and putting it across his lips which took me a while to realize that he was signalling me to keep quiet. I then remembered that I always keep a sketchbook and some of those sharpie markers under my bed, so I took 'em and wrote on it.

"Who are you?" It was the only thing written on a whole sketch paper.

He went near to me. I got scared seeing that I only met a stranger like him. He smiled to me and gently, he took my blue sharpie and sketchbook and wrote something. 'He seems to be nice.' It was the only thing that entered my mind. The stranger gave me the sketchbook and as I read it, my eyes wide open and looked at the stranger.

"Y-your the Sandman?" I whispered carefully not to make my voice too loud because of the excitement I'm feeling. He nodded and smiled at me.

"Can you talk?" He frowned and made a word 'NOPE' above his head using his golden sand.

"Oh. Sorry for my rudeness. I am Claudette Anderson." He smiled and took my sketchbook again and wrote something. It says

"I already know who you are. You don't have to introduce yourself. I apologize for intruding here. I thought you were asleep. My friends and I are playing Hide-and-Seek. I hope that you don't mind me hiding here, do you?" I took my sketchbook and took a red sharpie and wrote.

"I don't mind at all. I'm happy that you're real. Who are your friends anyway?" Sandy, still holding my blue sharpie, he gently took my sketchbook. He was about to write something when a guy around 17 appeared. He has white hair, striking blue eyes, and pale skin. He has a tall stature, albeit slim. He wears a blue hooded sweater, frost collecting around the ring of the collar, trousers bound with lighter material starting from the knee down to the rather tattered and frayed bottom, and is barefoot. He holds a staff that resembles a shepherd's crook. He smirked.

"I finally found you Sandy! I see you got a date there." He was pointing at my direction using his staff. As for a seven year old girl like me, I blushed knowing what he meant. Sandy shook his head in disagreement and flew over to the guy which I'm guessing is Jack Frost. He frosted my window panes just like my grandma used to tell me about him. Jack went out flying and was waiting for Sandy to come out from the window. Sandy then went near me and kissed my forehead. I yawned.

"Will I be able to see you again?" I asked him and the last thing that I saw was Sandy smiling at me and he's holding my blue sharpie.

########## The Next Day ##########

     I woke up feeling a bit lazy and found my sketchbook on my side and some colored sharpies.

"What happened in here? I usually hide my sketchbook and sharpies under my bed before sleeping.... Now that I think of it...Oh! I remember Sandman hiding in my room and Jack Frost spotting him! I can't believe they're real." I jumped on my bed and began to shout that I believed in everything my grandma has told me about those guys. A boy with messy dark brown hair, sapphire blue eyes and also has pale skin like mine suddenly barged into my room.

"Claudette, is everything alright?" He asked with worry. I gave him a wide smile.

"Yes. Yes I'm fine." My brother, Kevin Anderson gave me a confused look.

"Then why did you shout?" I ran near towards Kevin.

"Kevin, I saw them!" Kevin widened his eyes.

"Who?"

"The Sandman and Jack Frost. I saw them!" Kevin glared at me.

"Oh for Pete's sake! I woke up 7 am because of that? You're dreaming such childish things."

"No I am not! They're-" Before I could finish my sentence, Kevin slammed the door shut.

     "Real..." I sighed and went to my bed to start cleaning. I put my sharpie markers into its container and to my surprise my blue sharpie was missing.

"He took my blue sharpie!" I frowned because blue was my favorite color. I shrugged it all of, thinking that it's alright and continued cleaning, took a bath and wore a cobalt blue long sleeved shirt with white collar, a black mini skirt, a pair of long white socks and a pair of black doll shoes with ribbons on ends. I ran downstairs to eat breakfast with Kevin. Ever since the Sandman and Jack Frost incident, I kept on believing them. I can't even stop thinking of Sandman's warm smile which it kept on running into my mind every single day.
