It's dark everywhere I looked; pitch black darkness, but something else there, watching me. It stood in the distance, copying every move I did. It seem to be a shadow, a white shadow? Then another appeared, but it was grey and had something in it hand. The grey shadow attack the white shadow. It sliced the other's throat and repeatedly stabbing the chest. I screamed or at least tried, but nothing came out. It stopped suddenly, looked at me violently. It charged at me grabbed my forearm, slicing from my neck down to wrist. Fighting back was my only option. "Alice... Are you Alice?..." quietly asking over and over as the monster ask me as it began to stab my guts. I violently awaken to an unfamiliar room. The man from before held my hands in the air, above my head. Miss Quill stood behind him. She held her hands to her face, terrified by something. "It worse than I thought." He let go of my hands, and walked towards the window.
"Hey! Where's my mom?" I shouted. "Do you think you can get away with kid-"
"Alice, stop." Miss Quill grabbed my shoulder. "This man is your uncle, Alice. He thought you were someone else." We both looked at him. "He didn't mean to hurt you or anyone." We all stood in silence for a few minutes.
"Miss Quill can you leave us. I would like to explain everything to my niece." He stated in a formal fashion. She nodded her head and quietly left the room. "Alice, I'm sorry for hurting you, I that you were a knight. I tried to get there before they took your mother." Slams his fist against the window frame and rests his head on his hand. "Damn those son of bitches!" You could feel the intense in the room, he looked as if was going to cry.
"Umm... Are you okay, uncle?" I try get up from the sofa to walk over to him, but when I stood up I fell to the ground. My body felt so weak.
"First off, don't call me uncle. My name is Cid, Cid Shepard." He reaches out for my hand, and lifts me back up to my feet. "You shouldn't walk yet after that dream." His says so reassuringly with a smile, helping me walk back to the sofa. How did he know about the dream? I haven't said anything about it, unless if I was talking in my sleep. We sit down on the sofa in complete silence. I didn't want to throw so many question at him, we both been through enough right now. You could tell that Cid wasn't much older than my mother, maybe one or two years. Age and stressed made to be against him, making him look like he was fifty years old. Cid dressed like a federal agent; he probably would be a great agent, especial after he showed off his girl hair pulling technique. I did my best to not giggle from that thought, but startled when Cid started talking. "So, where do you want to start? You can ask me anything." He said calmly, with slight resists trying not to be upset.
"I don't know where to begin. Umm... Who are you? What happened at the apartment and where is my mom? How do you know about the dream?" My voice at to crack from trying to fight back the tears. Also my eyes began to tear up as well, biting my lip hoping that I don't cry in front of him. Cid walks over to a table and picks up a box of tissues and hand them to me.
"You might need these. If you cry go ahead, I'm here and Ms. Quill I can call her back in if you want, but I prefer that we speak privately so I can answer your questions without interruptions." He looks away quickly and sits back down with his folded resting them on his legs. Sighs, "I'm your uncle, on your father's side of the family tree. I've been keeping tabs on you for a year now. Ms. Quill has assist me on watching you. While you were in school or any other times Ms. Quill wasn't with you. I did this because your mother, Rose, asked me to. Rose was attacked at the apartment and I didn't make it in time. There are people after you, Rose and I. Those people that attacked your home, are knights. The men working for the Red Knight, your father, Vladimir. He wants us dead, because we know the secrets and lies he kept from kingdom. I don't know where your mother is right now. I hope that the Knights don't have her and she is somewhere safe. If they find any of us or anyone with knowledge or helping us them will be executed in the castle with our heads on display with stakes through them." Sighs again and bites the top of his thumb. He fiddles with his hands for a bit before continuing on. "Your dreams you been having for some time now, when did it all start?"
