What We See

Chapter 3

Matt's P.O.V.

I don't know how but after meeting this Vision, my whole point of view on them changed. Was it just because of her? She seemed to change my mind, I used to think like my father but now I am questioning if his views are correct. But since I laid eyes one her my mind seemed to focus on everything about her. Her perfectly curled hair that fell beautifully around her round face, her slim figure, her large emerald green eyes that seemed to glow in the dimmest of light but they were not too bright to seem like a fake eye colour, her red lips that were usually not showing a smile though one did creep up on them every so often, and the pink in her checks that never went away so it seemed like she was always blushing slightly.

It's not her beauty that intereses me but how different she is. Not by just being a Vision with different looks than us but the way she acts, with slight caution but not too much.

When she explained what Visions actually were I couldn't believe that the government and my own father had lied to the community and me about. But one thing that kept nagging at me in the back of my mind. What if the government didn't actually know what Visions actually are? What if they actually do believe they are crazy or trying to destroy the planet? Does my father know about the brainwashing? Did he lie to me about these things? What else has he lied to me about? Those thoughts just kept coming back up as if they were just waiting to be answered.

Yet with all these questions jumbled in my brain I could not focus on sleep. I was now laying on my bed staring at the ceiling and Thea was hiding in my basement. Would she try and leave before I wake or would she stay? That is the question that is the most prominent in my brain. At every noise I heard I jump off my bed and check out the door of my bedroom to see if the front door was now unlocked. Though it never was I felt as if it would happen when I didn't except it.

As the questions in my head died down again unconsciousness seized the opportunity and pulled me into sleep.

I saw myself in the middle of the forest, walking forward but not knowing where my legs were taking me. I heard laughter and turned in circles trying to find the source of it. I kept turning in circles as the laughter continued.

"Mathew." I heard between the laughter.

It came from directly behind me. I turned seeing a girl with long straight brown hair like everyone's and black eyes, I did not recognize her yet there was some familiarity to her. She was wearing a white dress that was flowing around her as if there was a breeze that I could not feel. There was a smile painted on her face and her eyes sparkled.

I went to open my mouth to talk but before I could even form a word, more or less a sound, the girl turned and began to jog away. Confused I stared at her shrinking figure. Then my legs began to carry me towards her. I started off in a walk until I began to jog behind this girl. It seemed that no matter how fast I ran towards this girl's running figure, she was always just that small bit more out of my reach.

As I ran the trees around us began to disappear behind some thick fog. Soon I could not see anything around me but the girl ahead of me running. I continued to follow her but the fog became thicker until I could not see the girl anymore or the ground I was on. I stopped running looking around as if I was searching for something familiar so that I could escape the fog. After turning in some circles the fog began to get less and less thick. Soon I could see the dirt on the ground.

I could also see someone walking towards me, but only their outline for the fog was still thick. Soon the person came into sight, it was Thea. She was wear what she had been when she stumbled into my house. She smiled at me as the fog disappeared from sight.
