When I wake up, I hear two people talking but all of it is blurry sounding. Finally, am able to hear.
"So that's the new queen, Mrs. B? She doesn't look cut out to be one... even though her hair is blue. Does she really have powers?" That got me up. Who was Mrs. B and what are they talking about? New queen? Special abilities? I start getting up and groaning.
"Who are you talking about?" The boy stared. He was tall and handsome. His hair was a dark brown and his eyes were two different colors. His outfit was torn up pretty bad but what I noticed was a leather jacket and was once a white t-shirt. The shorts didn't look right at all with the leather jacket. He kinda looked silly if you ask me. He seemed to notice how badly I was trying not to laugh because he was glaring at me. Those fierce eyes... it's like getting stabbed with two daggers. Then he did the strangest thing and laughed.
"I was in a hurry like you but I didn't have as much time." Before I could reply Apollo came running in and jumped on me.
"Apollo! I missed you so much!" Everyone stared at me from when I said that. I guess they hadn't known about my dog and was a surprise.
"Strangers who helped me meet Apollo. Apollo meet strangers who helped me" Apollo went and licked their faces. He must've liked them... but he's never liked anyone but me before. I sit there feeling betrayed by my own dog.
Suddenly, the boy turns his attention to me. "Sorry, that we haven't introduced ourselves. Am Blake and the elderly woman is very wise and her name is Beatrice. There's a few others and their names are Amber, Harper, Alexander, Cyrus, and Niko." The last two names strange...
"Am blossom and obviously the dog is Apollo. So, were you talking about...special abilities?" I finally looked at her. She was surprisingly beautiful. I felt like she wasn't normal either though. Her eyes were hazel.
Her hair was long, curly, and silver. Her dress was long and old. She looked like she was 40 to be honest but I knew she was 60 or older judging by the wrinkles she has on her hands and the wrinkles she gets whenever she smiles. Unless... she's a really wrinkled 40 year old but 40 isn't elderly at all and Blake stated that she is a wise elderly woman.
"You know, it's rude to stare at people. Nice to meet you, Queen blossom." She bowed along with Blake. Apollo even bowed... in a dog like way. Queen blossom?!?! I look behind me as if there's another blossom in the room. None. This was a small room with no Windows.
"I believe you have the wrong person but... is this entire city just metal?" The woman shook her head.
"No, we have the right person and the casing is. Only metal... everything else is made from different things. You should rest, Queen Blossom. It's getting late" I must've hit my head... this has to be all a dream. As I lay down, Apollo curls up beside me and I fall fast asleep.
