Rebirth

Chapter 6 [Giselle]

"Okay you're not crazy Giselle. This is all just a dream. Yeah. That's right." I gripped on the steering wheel of my car. "Everything's going to be fine when you wake up."

That is if everything was a dream. I sighed and stopped the car as it reached a fork in the road. My head was messed up. I hardly knew what to do anymore, with Klei not being normal, some hundred year war that existed between beings that normal people thought of as a myth. But then again I'm not normal myself, aren't I?

With much debate going on my head I decided to start the car once again and turn it around. Back to the church or whatever that place was. If anything, rushing out without any other word was rude and I do have to say myself that the story got me curious enough to hear the rest.

While driving I opened my phone and called Anna. If anything this would delay me going back to our house.

"Hello?" Anna said in a sleepy voice.

"Hey. Umm I might be coming back late today. Will you be alright on your own?"

"Ohh sure. No problem. I'm feeling a bit better anyway and well there's still some food in the fridge, or maybe I'll order pizza instead." She said cheerfully.

"Thanks. And well sorry for the sudden plans."

"It's alright." She giggled. "Have fun with your date with Klei." She teased.

"Haha." If only this was a normal date. I tried to sound like things were fine. "Alright bye Anna."

"Byyyeeeeeee!!" She hung up the phone.

I continued to drive my way back and reached the dense greenery which covered the building I was just in.

"Okay. Now how do I open this?" I tapped on the steering wheel. "Uhhh. Abracadabra!"

Nothing.

"Alakazam?" I waved my hands.

Still no budge.

"Open sesame?"

Again, nothing.

"Okay magic gate. I'm out of ideas." I just sat there, dumbfounded of what I should do next.

I decided to step out of the car and look at the sky. It was dark out but the stars twinkled so bright that you could still see your own surroundings. This was a nice break from the buildings in the area. The stars weren't as visible there as the ones here; where you could practically see the Milky Way already.

I closed my eyes and let the sounds of nature calm me. Taking in all the positive energy I could to calm myself down and think. Just then I felt a presence behind me which made me open my eyes.

"Giselle?" It was Klei, holding a few berries in his hand.

"Oh Klei." I avoided looking directly at him.

"Wh-why are you back?" He seemed rather cautious.

"Because well. I was rude and I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't interested in answers"

"Oh. Alright. Well why are you out here?"

"I can't actually get the forest door thing to open."

"Ahh. I see." He chuckled. "You just drive through."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. The gate has already recognized your presence so it should let you through." He chuckled even more. "Or did you try some magical words to get it to open?"

"N-no!" I blushed out of embarrassment. "Well anyway hop in. Let's go back together."

Klei quickly hopped to the passenger seat and I stepped in my car and started the engine before slowly moving forward and going through the gate. Just like what Klei said, the gate opened for me and let me through, revealing the church looking building behind the dense greenery.
