Secrets we Hid in the Night

To Dream

          The night sky was a deep purple, Lilly and the boys were fast asleep. It was quiet and Lamby and I Didn't favor the quiet darkness, for bogey people like the quiet and the dark as all children know, so I crawled with Lamby carefully not to wake up sissy or the boys, and headed for the door. I walked out the door and I looked once more at my siblings. Vinnie squirmed and kicked Vic in the butt and I giggled.

          As I Walked down the hall I still felt unsettled, so I did what mama taught me I pointed my finger outward and said "Lux" In a soft voice as to not wake anyone, then a little ball of light appeared at the tip of my finger and I continued to walk down the hall Into the "wide room" as mama called it. The room was pale blue in the night because of the big glass windows we could see the ocean from here every day. I sit looking out to find mermaids but mama said "merfolk live in the south in the winter time silly you won't find any now" but I still looked to the ocean. It was beautiful regardless. I continued to walk when clink my head turned to the direction of the noise "mama must be in the kitchen" I thought to myself. As I entered the room I saw a man in all black with white hair like me he turned into my direction and I saw that he had a scar on his cheek. "Maybe he's one of papa's friends" he took big steps towards me

        "Why.." ,he looked into my eyes as he bent over to talk to me,"Isn't it passed your bedtime kid." he said in a heavy voice he looked at me funny up and down then smirked and brushed the hair out of my face, I did not like this man.

        "I'm not a kid I'm six years old and a prince, and princes don't have bedtimes" I said stepping back clutching Lamby to my chest the further away from him the better.

         He tilted his head and looked at my eyes and hair once more,"What a pretty blue eye you have just like your pretty white hair, you must be a magical prince aren't you?" he said, and I nodded in response, for I am indeed magical, I'm a witch, he then reached for a stone around his neck, I looked kind of like mama's but hers is green, his is white and glowing, he tried to grab my arm but I ran out of the room,

          "Come back here you little brat!" the man yelled, but I continued to run past the wide room and saw people running to the windows, I was scared so I called out

          "MAMA, PAPA!" and as soon as I spoke their names, they came out of the sacred space. Mama was in her robes, as was papa; the man came into the room with something metal in his hand. I quickly turned to papa, who was raising his hands, which were glowing green and red,

          "STAY AWAY FROM MY BOY!" Papa roared, BANG! My shoulder hurt and lamby had blood on his face I looked back and once again BANG! BANG! BANG! Then everything went dark and cold; I couldn't hear mama or papa. Then one more loudly ,BBBBBBB AAAAAAA NNN GGGGGGG!
