Rush Of Blood

Shocking

     “Where are we going first?!” Bella exclaimed, observing the Magic Kingdom map in every way. “Anywhere you want, sweetie.” Colten said, smiling as he wrapped his arm around her. He glanced back at me, giving me a questioning look. I nodded, letting him know I’d talk to Walter today. “There’s the bus!” Emily squealed, hopping in excitement. Seth chuckled, kissing her cheek. The bus pulled up at our stop, the words ‘MAGIC KINGDOM’ flashing across the screen. We all piled onto the bus, sitting at the back coupled off in eight seats. The bus took off after about five minutes of waiting, headed out of the hotel parking lot and towards the park.

     Arriving at the park, the girls and I practically screamed from excitement. We all brought out our tickets, made our way through the security and entrance, and were standing right in the middle of Main Street. I lost complete focus and was staring up, breathless, at the large white and blue castle that seemed to glisten in the morning light. “Lilly?” Damien came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. “I think I’m five again...” He laughed, nuzzling his nose into my neck in a playful way that made me laugh. “I love you.” He chuckled, moving to my side and locking his fingers with mine. “Love you too, sweetie.” I kissed his cheek, dragging him forward. I noticed that the group had already gone ahead, so we caught up. “Where to first?” I called up at Bella, who hadn’t released her grip on the map. “Um! Uh! Adventure- no! Maybe tomorrow-No not that! Um!-” “Let’s just go left.” Colten suggested, laughing at his girlfriend’s inability to decide. We turned left at the massive castle, entering what appeared to be Adventure Land. We rode the Pirates ride, which I was luckily able to go on. We climbed the Swiss Family tree house, and it seemed that all of us were loosing ourselves in the childish atmosphere the park was engulfed in. There were too many gasps coming from us girls, and the guys were laughing in enjoyment, actually participating in what to do next. A couple rides later and we ended up by Splash Mountain. Considering my ‘state’, I stayed off the ride, Damien insisting he stay with me. After that ride, they came off soaked and laughing, running to Big Thunder Mountain. This time I made Damien ride, which he seemed to have enjoyed completely. We went to the Haunted Mansion next, laughing as Michael made ghost-like sounds to try and scare us. After that, it was time to hit the new and improved Fantasyland.

     I could barely contain myself. There it was. Ariel’s castle. “Oh my gosh!” Krista shouted along with me, and we ran forward, turning quickly to each other as we laughed from excitement, and stopping at the bow of a ship that held a carved Ariel on it. “This is amazing!” I shouted, twirling around in happiness. Damien and Michael walked up, laughing. “We’ll go on the ride, but then we have to stop for some lunch alright?” Michael said, kissing his girlfriend’s forehead. She nodded excitedly, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the beginning of a rather short ride. We all followed, and in no time, were on the ride. It brought us ‘underwater’, and we relived the movie itself, with all the animatronics and music I could barely help myself from smiling from ear to ear. I could even hear Krista singing along from two carts down. I giggled, loving every moment of this. We eventually got off the ride and headed into the small town center where stood a rather large statue of Gaston. We ate lunch at Gaston’s Tavern, enjoyed a little look around the Village Gift Shop, and went for a ride on Peter Pan’s Flight. After that, we headed for Tomorrow land. 

     “Sweetie just go! I’ll be fine trust me! I’m just gonna go look for a bathroom, then I’ll be right here waiting for you guys okay?” Damien pouted, crossing his arms at me. “What’s so wrong with wanting to stay with my pregnant fiancee?” I raised my eyebrow at him, “Don’t call me pregnant. Wait until I’m fat for that okay?” He chuckled lightly, dropping his arms. “Alright fine...but you can’t hold this against me later okay!” He kissed me quickly but softly, giving me a soft smile before catching up with the rest of the group. I watched as they walked into the building, all amped up for Space Mountain. Okay, now to find Walter... I turned around only to bump into someone. “Oh, sorry!” I said, stepping back. “Someone as fragile as you...you should really watch where you go...” It was a man, tall with blonde hair, and a piercing red stare. “Ja...James?” I whispered, completely frightened at this moment. You’re alive?! “Yes, love. I’m alive.” He leaned down, whispering in my ear, “But soon...you won’t be.” I jumped back, but he was gone. I was breathing all uneven, one hand on my stomach protectively, and darted for the nearest bathroom. I took the big stall, standing at the mirror with my hands on the sink. I sighed, trying to calm down. When I did, I walked out to find someone waiting for me.
