I wake up in a dazed state. My ragged night gown draping off the side of the bed along with the quilt my grandmother once made. I look to the left to see Madeleine sleeping. She looked adorable when she was asleep, like a princess in a deep sleep for years.
I swept my legs out of bed onto the cold wooden floor then stood up and made the messy bed. I slowly and gracefully walked to the clothes I set on my chair. The clothes I wore every sunday was my favorite outfit. A pale brown shirt and a pair of black skinny jeans. After I had managed to quietly slip into my outfit I pulled my blond hair into a messy bun and walked quickly down the stairs.
I pulled on my old brown boots and grabbed the bucket. It was cold outside. Near the beginning of fall. The line for well water was short being it was so early.
"Juliana, how are you?" Dustin promply said.
"I'm good, you?" I replied.
He yawns
"Miss my bed." He yawned again.
"I can agree with that" I chuckled
It was my turn for water now. As I pumped the water came out a musty red. I grabbed the pale and quickly ran home.
"Mom!" I shouted comming in the house making a rukus.
The entire house practically shook with groans of everyone waking up.
"Mom, Its....Happening," I said,"They, they're comming here."
