Curiosity

Chapter 4

I wake up and a cold breeze rushes through my face softly, it gives me the energy to get out of my bed and start the day. I look over at my alarm clock and it says, 9:30am , and I feel like I am forgetting something that I had to do this morning and i'm late for it, oh well. I throw the duvet cover off my warm body and weakly stand on my two wobbly legs. I tie up my dressing gown and walk out onto the cold steps and realise that today, I'm 15.

"Hannah, I mean Hope get down here" Danny shouts from down the stairs.

"I'm coming" I reply, As I trot down the stairs I see my uncles face. His expression isn't his normal expression (angry), but a confused face, like he doesn't know what he is doing.

"Hope, I feel like I am forgetting something but I don't know what"

"um, I don't know, is it an object or an event?" I ask hoping that he doesn't remember that it's my birthday.

"I'm not sure, I think it's some sort of date I had to remember."

A silence fills the room as Danny finishes his sentence, it's almost as if he knows that it's my birthday somewhere in his mind and doesn't want to admit it verbally but through his expression, but I know he's not that smart, is he? Maybe he has more compassion than I thought. No way, this is my uncle I am talking about.

"No, I don't think there is anything you're forgetting, anyway, you better be going to work now, what ever this 'something you forgot' is, it must not be too important if your forgetting it" I explain attempting to cover up my lye.

"You're right, I should probably-" I cut him off by giving him a 'did you seriously just say I'm right' look, which he obviously struggled to show a 'yes, I did just say you're right and I think it's true' look, so he just grabbed his coat and walked out the door.

I grab some off my favourite fruit loop cereal and eat it without the milk, which is a delicious way too start a birthday and Prince pounces up onto the table, then I realise that the thing I am late for, is my present from Mrs. Gormely.

I quickly grab my tiger print coat and slip into my sandles then rush out the door with Prince as he follows me and I start running down to the Marina where Mrs Gormely works. While I slow down from running and start strolling I suddenly fall to my knees uncontrollably and the next thing I know, I am having some sort of... dream.

"You do know she's not the right girl, right" Mr Bremmings says smartly

"I know she is, she has to be, anyway she came in to Malida as we suspected, even if Resinka controlled the storm, why wouldn't she be?" Xander explained desperately as if he were trying to make what he said true.

"Because she claims to be, not be the right girl" Mr Bremmings replies

"But how would she know, she is the daughter of the rulers of Canan, therfore she must be"

"hmmmm, you do have a point, but we will talk about this another time, quick she is starting to wake up"

Wow, okay that just happened, what was that? I think to myself. It was some sort of day-dream vision type of thing. I suppose I should just forget about that and go find out what my surprise is, the Marine isn't that far away.

As I decide to forget about my weird day-dream, I realise that I have never had anything like that happen to me before, I haven't had other people in my mind talking about random stuff before, but then again, it couldn't have meant anything, could it?
