My Brittle Barricade

Chapter 24

Chapter 24...
....
....
It was the very early in the morning and I was waking the streets.
No one was around.
All I could see was the sun starting to come up and hear the birds in the trees.
The dogs barking and some even sleeping in the yard.
A cat even ran across the road.
A squirrel was in a branch eating a nut.
This neighbourhood was so peaceful and yet I was down in a basement most of my life and this was all above me.

Most of the night I was trying to think what I want to do.
But all I could think about was find out who I am.
But I have no clue where to start.

Then my phone buzzed it was lily.
She texted me "so do u want to do something crazy"
I texted back " yea why not."
This early in the morning she must have something crazy planed.
I texted her where I was and within about 10 minutes she was there in nick car.

We drove about 5 hours out of town to a small gas station.
But there was a sign  no gas.
And there wasn't a person inside but an old man behind the tills.
I looked at lily and said " why are we here."
She just smiled back and said "well when I can't get my brothers card or my own way something small like this is just perfect."
She then put a mask over her face and then waited in the car until the man went in to the back of the shop.
She then ran in and jumped over the counter and opened the till and then ran out with money in both pockets.

We drove for about two miles and then she started to count her money.
60$ and 2 chocolate bars for us.

She seemed happy with what she had done and before she started driving again I stopped her and said " what happen if he catches you , why did you just do that."
" relax " she said in her calm happy tone.  " there no camera around so he can't know it's me and beside it's not like I can't get a job and provide for myself, what else am I meant to do."

" why can't you get a job" I ask her after us driving for about 40 minutes of silents.
" with my criminal record no one will hire me" she said.

My phone rang then and nick was ringing.
I answered and said " hello."
" where are you I haven't seen you since like yesterday morning" he said in a harsh kind of tone.
" I'm with lily where in the car , and we'll be home soon , relax a bit" I said.
I couldn't stop smiling at myself. The fact that he was actually worried about me.

After a while of me and lily talking about shoes and makeup that we liked. We made it to the house. And nick and Vic were both at the front door.
When we were still in the car I asked lily " has Vic ever smiled, because I've been around him a lot and he his never happy"
Lily just laughed.
Nick opened my door and said " do I have to lock you in a basement to keep you in one place."
I just looked at him " don't you dare"

We all walked in the house and Vic and lily disappeared and I looked at nick and Said " I'm so tired and I want to go to bed so good night."
" it's like 6:30pm" he said.
" yeah I'm still going to bed." I said. And walked away up the stairs and on the bed.

Nick was  leaning at the door and just looking at me.
" so you just gonna lay on the bed or get under the covers" he said
" I have knee boots on with so many laces," I said
But before I could finish he was already undoing them.
This just made me laugh.
" if you want I can take off other things" he said.
I just sat on my elbows and said " watch it mister" in a very strict tone.
But he just had that dirty smile on his face and said " I do every night."
I just hit his arm.

He pulled the covers from under me and we both go into the bed and he wrapped his arms around me and I went off dreaming.

I knew I must have been dreaming this there was a women in the room with me.
She was in a long white dress and she was standing in the bottom of the bed.
She had dark black  hair and it was very curly and her skin was pale and clear.
Her eyes where a light shade of blue.
And the more I looked into them the more I felt like I had seen them before.
She raised her hand up and said something but I didn't hear her and I went into a deep sleep.

I woke up in a complete different room.
It was all made out of stone.
This room was twice the size of nick room and the furniture looked old fashioned ,dusty and there was a giant stone window and I walked over to it and there was no window or curtain.
But there was a big bright moon in the sky.
I looked down and It looked like I was surrounded by water.
But way out in the distance there where little houses and they were on fire.
I heard people screaming.

I ran out of the room and met people in the corridor but it was like they didn't see me.
Or even hear me.
It didn't make sense.
I could walk through walls and when I did I was horrified by what I saw.
There were men with big rivals and some had bow and arrows.
It was like they were getting ready for a fight Or war.
I walked into another room and people were gathering things and leaving through hidden passageways.

I walked into a big giant room filled with people screaming  and  yelling at this man and women but the women was the same one from my earlier dream.
She had the same white dress on but a small silver tiara with little Diamonds decorating it  on her head.
She was sitting on a thrown and beside her was. A older looking man, maybe 6-7 years older then her.
And he had a big gold crown with different coloured diamonds on it.

every one was yelling at them about a witch that burned down the village.
And how this witch cursed then all and something about a baby.
And then I turned around and I was in a different room.

In the middle of the room was a golden crib with a tiny baby in it.
It was screaming and no one was in the room with it then by the window was a old women.
She was all dressed in black. And she walked over to the baby and picked it up.
Just as she did the women in white and old man from downstairs walked In and begged her to give her the baby back.
Then the old women in black disappeared out the window and then I woke up beside nick.
He was fast asleep so I didn't wake him up and tell him about my dream.
It felt so real but I knew it couldn't be.
