Stolen Past

chapter three

Chapter three:

Dreams come true

The cold air pressed against my skin as I walked forward on the stone path. My bare feet crunched the leaves beneath them making every step sound louder than the other. The path belonged to what seemed to be a garden or orchard, I couldn’t tell. The mist in the air wasn’t helping the mood of this unfamiliar place, which seemed to be very, very creepy. A dark figure stood at the end of the path, in front of a huge dark gate. The image shifted, I stood in the middle of an empty house. The house was empty, and when I mean empty I meant EMPTY, like nothing, no furniture, nothing. Although there was one thing there, in the center of the room I was standing in was an old journal spread open over the floor. I walked to the journal, picking it up I looked into the page it was opened to. The image shifted again. This time there was fire, fire everywhere including in a circle and I in the middle of it. A key was hanging from my neck from a gold chain; it was rusty, gray, and old like the ones you use to open a treasure chest. The key hold a simple symbol a star with an chrysobery gem in the center, the key began to glow and everything went blank.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

I was back in my room replaying my dream in my head, holding the journal in my hands. The image of the key was on the page I had opened to, the same key that i had dreamed about. I flipped the page not bothering to read the word writtin there. A envelope was taped to the page with Skylar ingraved in perfect handwriting. I took the evelope off, with shaking hands opened it to reveal a letter. The letter was as sandy as the book, I unfolded it and began to read the message that was writtin for me.

“ My Dear, Skylar

If you are reading this it means I’m no longer with you, and because of that I’m sorry. I know what this must do to you, and agin I’m sorry. I hope one day you understand, why I had to go.

It will be hard,you two are were ment together but fight Skylar fight, find the key.she will be coming for you ,they all will, be careful my dear and good luck…… you’ll need it.

Love, mom

“Mom”,I whispered this was the letter my mother had left for me before she died. What does it mean though, who has the fire elemnts? Who is this person that need to find their way back? The key? What is going on, if she told gran she will think she went nuts. Kim, what does Kim have to do in this. I put the book and letter in my drawer in disgust, when grandma called for me.

“Skylar you have a visitor… a late visitor,” she said I walked down the steps to find dylan at the bottom of the steps. He smiled at me, I could swear my legs were turning to jelly.

“Hey cassirole girl”,he chuckled with a smirk on his face.

“when are you going to stop calling me that,”I jokely questioned

“Hi Skylar,” he said defeated

I smiled and walked down the last steps to be in front of him,he smiled down at me and took my hand. I swere my vision hazed just a little.

“Can I talk to you?”, he asked me his eyebrows making their form into a really attractive frown.

“sure?”, I answered uncertain, we walked outside to talk. Dylan looked like something was bothering him.

“Can you do me a favor?”, he asked me, if dylan would want me to do something for him, in suck the little time we got to know eachother, than that was a good sign.

“Whats the favor?”I asked, dylan looked at me, and sat down on the porch steps, I followed his movements and sat down.

“I been having these dreams latly but that doesn’t matter… I found this in my backyard a few days ago”, he said, holding out a key on a golden chain. My eyes went wide, this was the key that I dreamed about. “could you hold it for me?”, he asked I nodded a yes and he put the key into my hand, slowly folding my fingers over it. Dylan looked at me, “skylar I need you to keep this safe. Don’t let anyone touch it, ok?” I nodded my head, dylan grabed the chain pulled over my head, making it hang from my neck. He moved a stray strand of hair away from my eyes, and pulled over my ear. His hands gentley rubbed a small circle on my cheek, dylan leaned forward and kissed my forhead.

“Thanks you, I really trust you with this.” Dylan stood up and helped me up. He walked my back to my front door, hugged me and then walked away to his house. I watched him disappear through his door until I decided to enter mine. Gran stood  in the doorway of the kitchen, looking at me while I leaned my head against the door.

“What a handsome boy,”she praised, “you two going out?”, I shook my head no,and decided to just go upstairs and leave gran hanging. I could not sleep at all that night, the key that hang from around my neck for the night, felt heavy on my chest where it rested. I had found the key,well Dylan did, now what? If the key was real, what else could be? i have to find the person with the fire elements. What did this even mean? What is going on? i eventually feel asleep and my nightmares began again. This time I was watching myself in a room. I was surronded by books and journals while I sat on the ground, Kim was seated next to me looking through the journals, when BANG!!!!! The image shifted, there was a woman with ghostly white skin, dark hair,wearing a red dress that fell to her knees. I felt fear, if Kim were here she laugh in my face for being afraid, but I was alone. The women turned, and I was beyond afarid now. She had scars on her face, three claw marks on her left cheek, where her eye where supposed to be was nothing but black, pitch black,she had blood under her eyes shaping its way into red vines.

“Skylar, im coming for you,”she said and jumped at me.
