In the living room next to my "favorite uncle" stood a man with greying hair, blue eyes(like mine), a bright and warm smile, was tall, and was dressed old timeyish. His eyes were filled with so much love it looked liked it was gonna flow out or something. He made want to smile. So i did. My lovely uncle decided that the moment of my happiness was the best time to interrupt by clearing out his throat.
Once we gave him the attention that he craved he smiled at me. WHOA WAIT HÉ SMILED AT ME?! "good news ya brat! " His smile turned into a smirk "I finally get to get rid of you now! " I was confused, what was he talking about I hadn't found the place I was gonna stay at. Wait a minute! My eyes snapped to the stranger next to him and I pieced it together. Well, at least I think I did. "A.. Am I g.. Going to live with him? " I pointed a shaky finger at the stranger.
This reaction was rewarded by an ugly booming laughter from uncle dearest. "you finally got that brain of yours to work huh. " The stranger took a step forward. "hello Juliana I'm your grandfather. " it was those words that changed everything. My world went completely still and my cheeks felt wet. Something made my chest hurt real bad and I grabbed it. My headache was getting worse, oh man.
Finally I came back to reality and without hésitation I gave my grandfather a big hug. More tears started coming out. It felt good to hug again. It was such a warm feeling and I felt happy, safe. A hand gently patted my head "You've grown so much since the last time i've seen you, Juliana" my grandpa said. His voice was so calm and soothing.
I pulled away and smiled "Juliana your going to move in with me okay, oh and before I forget I wanted to give you your birthday present. Sorry I missed it. " He pulled out a small box from his pocket and handed it to me. I gasped it was so pretty. On the outside of the box there was a picture of a silver cross and below it there was something written I didn't know what language it was in but this is what it was 'Protectorem'. The overall color of the box was black. I opened it and inside w s a silver cross choker with sometime of liquid in it that i couldn't really identify.......... And strangely it was the same necklace I had on in my dream.
"Grandpa, I'm done packing" not like I had a lot of things to begin with. I stood in my small room and smiled "Im finally going to leave this place'' I whispered to myself.
[ps. protectorem is latin for protector]
