"The Enchanted Eyes"

-Prologue part 2

Huh? Where am I? What is that light?

“Do i..  …ry!! ..o it no…!” A male voice seems very worried…

Who are these people?

“I.. I’m tryi… I’m tr… my bes..!!!” Now there’s a female voice. She seems... scared for some reason… “Wake up!! Wake up!!! WAKE UP!!! AMY!!!”

/-/

‘Huh?’ I opened my eyes and now I can see the ceiling of… my room. “It was just a dream, what a weird one though.” I say to myself.

“Hey! Amy, are you awake? Wake up! It’s going to be your first day! Wake up!” I heard a male voice knocking on my door, not the same one in the dream though. Oh, it’s just my brother.

“Yes Justin! I’m awake! Give me time to get ready!” I shouted for him to hear me.

“Alright then. Breakfast is waiting downstairs.” I heard him reply.

/-/

As I got up from my bed, I felt something crawling down my cheek. It felt like liquid…

“Tears?” Did my dream trigger some emotional reaction or something? Strange. Well, time to get ready for the day.

I did my usual getting up routine, but there was one thing about me that felt… off. Then I looked in the full body mirror next to my closet.

“Why are my eyes green?” I definitely remember them being a dark shade of brown, but now they’re green? I rubbed my eyes with my hands, assuming that I was still seeing things because I did just wake up. I looked in the mirror again.

Now they’re brown again, just like they used to be. “I’m probably still just sleepy.” I said to no one in particular. Time to get ready for the day.

/-/

I went downstairs to see Justin, my older brother, sipping at his coffee while reading the newspaper. He seems like he’s an older man but he’s actually just 22 with his birthday just a few months away.

As I went downstairs I smelled the familiar scent of fried eggs in the air of the room, but no bacon. Instead, I see that my breakfast plate consisted of sunnyside-up eggs and… garlic rice! My favorite! Ahem, sorry for the interior monologue, I’ll get back to my previous thoughts… right after I finish this dish.

/-/

“Oh, hey sis! Breakfast is ready. I made your favorite since it’s your first day.” That Justin, he can be really thoughtful sometimes. Well, I better finish it quick.

“So how is your job going?” I asked him. He’s been trying to get his boss to give him a raise ever since the new school year started. He’s been working hard to support the both of us. He’s still in college and now I’m a first-year senior.

“No good.” He said disappointed. “Boss said I need to work harder to earn a raise. I’ve been doing all I can but it’s hard juggling college in the mix.”

“Don’t worry, you can do it, I believe in you.” I did my best to reassure him. Surprisingly, it worked.

“Thanks sis.” He said as if he was pleased. “It’s just been hard without mom and dad here y’know?”

“Yeah.” I answered him. “But we need to keep in mind that they are doing their best to help us, even if they are far away.” It’s true, our parents work overseas, leaving only me and my brother to take care of ourselves. It’s already been a year and a half since they left. We’ve grown accustomed to living by ourselves, it just meant that Justin had to work along with his studies, but I appreciate his dedication with taking care of both of us.

“Ah huff” He took a deep breath. “Yeah, I sure will.” He said fairly calm. “Anyway, you should probably get ready for school. It starts at 9:00 remember? And it’s already 7:45.”

“Yeah, I should.” As I said that I finished my last bite of my breakfast. Time to get ready.

A/N:

Hey there! Midnight here! So I've been thinking of making story for a while now, unfortunately I haven't had any inspiration and motivation to actually make my idea reality. But thanks to my new friends Yandeguire_san888 and NerdQueen235 I have been motivated to continue my idea. So I would like to thank these two for encouraging me to start this.

Once again, I thank these two wonderful people.
