The Lost Wanderer

CHAPTER-4

Recap:

Black spots started to dance in front of my eyes. The last thing I remembered before I blacked out was the Oozer turning into a pile of ash and Sky screaming my name and running towards me.

Then for the second time today.....everything turned black ...

**************

I felt my head bob up and down slightly. What the hell ? I kept drifting in and out of my consciousness . I opened my heavy eyelids slightly and all I saw was Sky's face inches away from mine. He looked worried. I couldn't feel my limbs, think they've gone numb.

"Don't fall asleep". Sky whispered " Stay awake. Please don't fall asleep, Flame, stay awake please...." And his voice started fading away as I slowly drifted off to into unconsciousness.

***********************

I felt something cold on my forehead. I also could hear some people talking in the background.

Was that all a dream?

Yeah, of course it's a dream ...well that Sky guy was hot and all that.....

I tried opening my eyes, but they wouldn't. This seems to happen a lot these days.

I felt as if my eyelids were taped shut. Trust me, I'm speaking out of experience.

Riley had done that to me once . We were best friends since kindergarten and sometimes she'd sleep over at my place . And during those sleepovers , I accidentally might have pushed her off the bed. In turn, she taped my eyes shut with freaking duct tape!

Trust me, when I woke up, I caused a total chaos. I went running around the house screaming profanities and no one, not one person helped me.

When I finally managed to get hold of Riley , I jumped on her back . The sad thing was that she was going downstairs and I had jumped on her when she was going to ascend the stairs .

We both had fall of our lives . When I finally managed to rip the freaking tape off my
face(I did lose a few eyebrow hairs though), I wanted to kill Riley . But the huge bump on her head due to the fall made me laugh and totally forget about the tape thing.
Good times ...Good times....

I felt light taps on my cheek.
"She's waking up" someone whispered .

That wasn't Riley at all . I could recognize her voice even if she changed her tone...

It wasn't even aunt Cara.

Well I'm pretty sure that all that accident in which I had was due to that stupid camera and that weird land Zee -on , and all those slime-dripping monsters ...was all a dream...?

C'mon nothing like that exists in this world....

Then who's voice was it ?

"Is she really awake? "someone else whispered this time . Now who is this ?!

Riley better not play any prank on me ... I felt some more taps on my cheek. As if on cue my eyes shot open.

Oh ! So they weren't taped shut?

My vision was a bit blurry. I could see a figure in front of me.

"Hey, could you stop doing that? " When my eyes finally adjusted, I spotted a lady sitting near my feet , staring back at me .She had wavy reddish brown hair which reached a little above her waist . Some strands of her hair were falling on the sides of her face. She stared at me with captivating caramel brown eyes . She was wearing a very deep navy blue tight sleeved top and pants which fit her body like a second skin. She looked in late thirties or in her early forties. It was difficult to tell. She was beautiful.
