The Beacon of Hope

Chapter 2: Bad Memories

          When I woke up the next day I laid in my bed for a minute not moving at all.  I stared up at the ceiling closing everything out.  I moved my hand slowly up to my mouth.  I had been crying in my sleep.  That night while sleeping I had a dream about my little sister.  I missed her so much and here I am going into the place where I lost her at.  But I can't leave Lexi to go in herself, it's just not right.

          I sat up in my bed and grabbed the corner of the blankets.  I threw the blankets to the side then I kicked my feet over the edge of the bed.  I sat there for a minute starring into the mirror that was right in front of me.  My eyes where blood shot.  Was I really crying that much? I asked myself as I covered up my left eye.  I sighed and then look in the mirror with a serious face.  I put out the palm of my hand and smacked my other hand that was balled up in a fist down onto it.  "I will not let this bad memory ruin my day with Lexi!" I shouted.

          I stood up off my bed and put on a very beautiful dress that was long and blue.  I looked at it for a while.  "To much," I thought out loud then took it off.  "Ok next choice," I looked threw my dresser.

          I grabbed out a white skirt and a purple top with a little white sweater over it.  I looked in the mirror.  Perfect.  I thought to myself.  I grabbed my bag off the dresser and then I left my home to go to school.  Be calm Abby nothing bad is gonna happen to you I thought to myself as I was walking to school.  I kept walking and for some reason my foot steps were echoing.  I went to turn around to see if someone was behind me.  Right as I turned around everything went black.  I couldn't see.  That's when I realized I couldn't breathe either.  I struggled to escape what has grabbed me but it seemed the more I tried, the stronger the thing got.

          Light.  Light an air.  I could see and I could breathe again.  I turned around to see a smiling Lexi.  "Hey Abby, how was your sleep?" She asked me.

           I turned around and looked at her very mad to were I slapped her shoulder.  I looked at her for a little longer then I turned, puffed out my cheeks and crossed my arms.  I felt her hand on my shoulder and I felt her face come over my shoulder.  "Hey come on now cheer up no reason to look so mad," she said and laughed.

          I smack away her hand and then I turned around and looked at her "never do that again.  Got it?" I said looking a little mad at Lexi for what she did.  She smiles kinda sadly "Yea sorry about that Lexi," she scratched the back of her head nervously.  

         The sounds of the rail road tracks being heavily pounded on filled mine and every other stranger in the subway.  After a while you could see the lights and the squeaking of the breaks.  Right as the lights were getting brighter I saw something.  Down on the traintacks there was a very faint little girl standing there with long blue hair and golden eyes.  My vision got all blurry and I couldn't see colors anymore.  She looked up and me and smiled then her mouth moved.  I froze.  My eyes got small as for how scared I was.  I started slowly backing up horrified because of what I was seeing.  Then the sight broke as the train had made it to the subway.  Lexi was standing in front of me looking worried "You ok Abby?" She asked me.

          I looked at her and then I nodded my head and walked towards the train.  I heard Lexi's footsteps right behind mine.  I smiled I have nothing to worry about I thought to myself and looking back at Lexi who was walking weirdly while smiling widly.  Once we get to the opening of the train I stop and look where I saw the girl.  Nothing was there.  I must have been imaging it I thought to myself as Lexi grabbed my hand and pulled.  "Come on! Or it's going to leave us!" She yelled and smiled brightly.

          I smiled softly and walked onto the train with Lexi.  We walked down the row and sat in the seats in the back.  I felt a little jolt once I sat down as the train started to continue moving.  I looked out the window in the back window.  My vision goes blurry again as the little girl is back standing there waving "GoodBye...." I see the girl mouth.  I look shocked again and I fall backwards out of the chair and I land on the ground.  "Abby hey! Are you ok? Abby!" I heard Lexi yelling at me.  Then everything went black.

          "Ab... H ab... Hey Abby! Wake up!" I heard Lexi yelling at me about to cry.  "Lexi.. What happened?" I say as I slowly sit up rubbing my head.  She looked at me "you passed out.  Are you sure you still want to go?  We can get on the bus it's just about to come back.  We ca-" "No!" I interrupted Lexi by yelling "we will go to this aquarium ok?" I look down at Lexi seeing she was still sitting on the floor.

          When I looked around I saw we were on the floor in a different subway we must be here I told myself.  I walked up the steps and there it was.  The giant building I lost my sister in...

          The Aquarium...
