Robbed

Journey

I have been stuck in this box. I know I made the right decision. My legs are begin to fall asleep. The ache in my back is killing me. The box is being to get wet. It must be raining. This sucks! I already tried to go to sleep but I am too alert.

I close my eyes and began to day dream. The sky is blue. A happy blue. The day is a hot, the kinda hot that is enjoyable. I begin to walk in this forest of pine tresses. I can hear the crushing of pine needles under my feet. I slide my hands across the tresses, like you do with clothes at the mall. Every tree feel different, with different bumps and bark, a different story. I see Mary erupt though the trees with arms full with different branches and logs.

"What are you doing?" I question here

"What dose it look like? Were making a fort." She sang in a happy tone.

"What are we going to name this fort?" I don't really know why I said that

"Um.... The fort of Eves," She skipped as she talked. 

"Why the fort of Eves?" 

"I don't know, maybe it's because something big is going to happen." I just give her a weird look.  Is she trying to creep me out... because it is working.

Then we began to build the Fort of Eves. When it look like it was about to collapsed we just started chucking leaves and stick and mud and hope it didn't just start crumpling down. I look up at the tree to see if could handle a fort like this because this might just be the Eve it falls down. Burn. Just as I thought that the sky begin to darken. The trees begin to whip in the wind. The fort begins to shake. The clouds are so big that I can almost touch it.

I look back down at my sister that is shaking in fear. Why is she so scared? It's only a storm. I grab her by the waist and pull her into the fort. Hopefully the fort of Eves can handle a storm like this. She looks at me with eyes full on innocent fear.

"Everything is going to be all right." I say in my most reassuring voice

"Rose, I can tell when you are lying, and your doing it right now."

"Well, I was only trying to comfort you, geez." I roll my eyes.

The thunder roars though the sky. Mary grips my shirt with every sound and light she hears or sees. I know if I say something it will just her pissed off. I wrap my arms around her shoulders and pull her into a tight hug. The fort beings to shake again. The leaves start to fall in my lap, and make a nest in my sister's hair. It almost looks like a crown. I sometimes wish I had my sister curls. I looks so pretty as it carves her face and features out. I have to be stuck with this blond monstrosity of straight and waved hair. My hair is so indecisive but I love it.

My sister starts to shake in my arms. I move my head to her ear and said, " I don't believe this will be the day the fort falls forward on our faces now is it?" She lets out a little laugh and replies:

"No, I believe this is not the day the fort collapses on us. It would be ashamed if it did, we just finish it." She starts to hug my me and cry into my chest. I pet her head and try to comfort her the best I can.  As she cry the sky lets big  raindrops fall from the sky. Its like mother nature and us are on the same wave length right now. I don't know if I love it or hate it. The dirt around us start to become soaked. I look at my arms and begin to see little goose bumps rising to the surface of my skin. 

"Mary, everything going to be ok." I whispered into her ear.

I heard her whimper into my chest, "Nothing is ok, it's storming outside, the ground is soaked, I am freezing cold, and worst of all your in the box."

"Wait, what, the box, No Mary. I am right beside you. I am hugging you right now." That's when everything begins to come crashing down. I want cry, and tear myself to shreds. I will probably never see my sister again or even my family. Bang. I put my head out of the fort to see the shy ripping open to a bright light. The sky looks like it's bleeding painting. With the mix of black, purple, and blue dripping onto the ground. The trees begin to crumple away. The fort beings to break apart. I look at my sister and see her body get whooshed away in the wind. The world just starts to become darker and darker until it turn into the back of my eyelids.

I peel my eyes open and see the box. I let out a loud cry of pain as my heart begins to figure out what just happen. To understand the decision I have made. To understand the world. I feel like I am falling down a rabbit hole of death. I grip my hair in my hands and begin to cry. My heart just wants to explode.  I am hoping my will to live is stronger than my heart right now or my soul and spirt might just die. This should be called legal kidnapping. What they are doing to me. But it can't say that because I volunteered for it. For the pain and the suffering. I am going to do what I always do when times are rough. Take all my feels and shove them into a small box so no one can see them. Not even me. I AM FINE, I tell myself. To suck it up. To be strong. I take one deep breath and close my eyes and picture myself closing and locking the box of feelings. I am the only one who has the key.

As if on cue as I open my eyes again the box get ripped open to reveal the castle. The knight grab my hand and said "Rose Lockwood, welcome to the castle."
