Secret Protector

Chapter 6: Who's There ( part 1 )

"Will he be alright doctor, I mean he's lost a lot of blood and the cut and his broken bones and" right then the doctor hushed me. "We don't know we'll need to take him into surgery, and my I ask how are you of relation to him" the Dr. Mafelle asked. "He's my, my, my uh"

_______End of Dream__________

That's strange why couldn't I say who he was to me, I mean who was he to me?.. A question I couldn't answer. I stayed in my pjs, hey I've got a couple days off school why not enjoy it am I right or am I right? Yeah, I'm right. I put my hair in a messy bun and walked no that's an understatement I basically fell down the stairs. I walked dragging my feet to the kitchen. I stopped and hid behind the door I heard multiple voices Dale, Mom, and I don't know I walked in and found Nate sitting down talking to Dale my mom cooking. Once I stepped in the kitchen all heads turned to stare at me. Nate with a smile on his face Dale looking happy and my mom cooking and whistling some tune I don't know. I walked towards the table and pulled out a chair and sat down slowly. I was confused Why was Nate here? Why was he not at school? and then I stopped and looked down at myself. Oh, my gosh I was wearing a short grey pajama pants that said kiss on the back and my shirt said Hershey's. But that's not the worst part I had really super short pajamas on today my shorts should be considered underwear and my shirt was a cami, it was up past my belly button. That's why everyone was staring at me weird. I considered running upstairs to go change but realized Nate was in my house and I'm not gonna feel uncomfortable because Nate's staring at me in my house. Nate couldn't keep his eyes off me but unfortunately Dale was next to Nate so he tried to keep his attention on Dale. But failed, he couldn't help glancing at me every now and then. So I decided why not help mom with breakfast? There's no harm in that.

"Hey mom you need help with breakfast" she let out a big breath then answered.

"Yes, please set the table the pancakes, eggs and bacon are almost done" she said trying to not sound demanding.

"Okay" I said to her. Then I got up to the counter and opened up the cabinet I had to stretch but successfully got the beige plates. I then turned to Nate who was staring directly at me "Hey, Nate you eating with us" knowing he'd say yes I reached for another plate then stopped when I heard him answer.

"No, I can't uh I already ate and I need to get to school" he stated, I was a little disappointed by his answer but respected it. Right then he said bye to Dale and my mom and basically ran out the door not even saying goodbye to me. My mother turned around with our breakfast everyone ate and enjoyed. I was done second first was Dale then my mom was last. My mother spoke when she was done taking a sip of her milk. "Well, that was weird the way he just ran out not even saying goodbye to his friend" my mother stated.

"Yeah, super weird" I said then Dale opened up his big mouth and said "Yeah, it's as if he's in love with you and I'm sure I know what love is the way you two look at each other it's love but you don't know yet, hasn't he made you feel special and wanted and loved and obviously he protects you" Dale then got up and put the dishes away and put the food away. Dale I don't know why but I guess he scared me by saying the "L" word I've never really said it to anyone else accept Dale and my mom and maybe my foster brother and sisters maybe. I got up from the table and walked over to my mom.

"Hey mom I don't feel to well I'm gonna go to my room and rest for a while just knock if you need me" she smiled then gave me a hug and said "Hope you feel better, sweetheart"

I walked up stairs and quickly went to my room and laid down, wow I guess my head really did hurt okay enough is enough. I'm gonna go take some Benadryl to make myself get good rest. I walked over to my bathroom that's the size of a bedroom and went to my medicine cabinet. I opened the cabinet pointing my finger in the direction of the Benadryl. I forgot I had a pill bottle of this stuff. Quickly I twisted the pill bottle and took out seven pink pills. I shouldn't be doing this but I'm always lonely. Nate won't even look at me he left me during breakfast that was fishy but I need a good nights sleep. I'm positive this will work, I take my hand full of pink pills and grab my cup on the sink, I pop the pills in and quickly grab my water and sip. Once the pills are in I move back to my bed. I pull the covers up to my face and cuddle with my stuffed cheetah my foster sister gave me before going to college.

Soon I'm asleep all I see is dark and I don't feel comfortable or safe. Soon a figure comes out of the shadows and is masked whoever or whatever is in the shadows pulls out a knife. The masked thing walks closer to me and stops to where his face is about to touch mine. I try to stay brave and walk closer to the masked figure.

"What do want" I ask shaking tracing my fingers across the masked face.

"You" he answers

Making me frightened I step away while the man follows my every move.

He speaks "Forever, and always, you are the most beautiful creature and I will always protect you but you will never know my identity, for it is secret" whoever the masked figure is I feel comforted and trust him. Soon I move closer to the man and hug him. I can't seem to let this man go. So he slowly brings me down to the ground which I now realize is grass. It's midnight somewhere and I'm in meadow with a stranger that I'm hugging. I lay aside the masked figure and sigh, I'm happy for some odd reason.

Had I just drugged myself just so I could encounter this odd dream. Why would I do that? I hadn't meant to die, am I dead and this be heaven or hell. I don't know but whatever this is I want to wake up.
