surviving the red giant

Recap:

I can't believe what I am seeing

********☆☆☆

I dropped my bottle. Thankfully, it landed in the creek so I didn't waste any of the precious water.

"Emma." I said, more like whispered.
She still heard me though, and looked at me with her beautiful blue/grey eyes.

I still remember the day I lost her....

"Mom?" I say

"Mommy?" Emma says with her cute little baby voice.

I sat down, "Let's just wait for mommy here."

"Ok," Emma said.  "But where is she?"

"Mommy said she had to go do something very important but also  dangerous, so she didn't let us go. She should be home any minute."

"Ok." Emma said happily.

We sat in silence for a few minutes.

"Look!" Emma said, " A puppy!"
She jumped off of my lap and ran to chase the "puppy".

"Stop!!" I screamed, "That's not a puppy; that's a racoon!!"
She didn't listen and kept running.

I tripped, and my head hits a rock.

I cry.

One, because of the pain, and two, cause' I can't get to my sister and have no idea where mom is.

I snap out of my daze when she runs  towards me, and once I got her in my hold she whispers.... "Cameron."
That's where I lose it.

"Oh Emma." I sob " you're alive!"
She nods her sweet head.

She smells like lavender, and is now a beautiful 14 year old.
I start to play with her hair.

Happiness....
The one thing I've craved since she was departed from me. I am finally feeling it again.

She looked up to me and said "I love you."

"I love you too," I answered

***********☆☆

After Emma and my reunion, we continued filling are bottles with water.

"So, do you want to go to sleep?" I ask.

The thing is, we can decide to sleep whenever we want, because the sun is always up.

"Sure," Emma said.

We went under a tree, and picked off some leaves to lay on.

We lay down, and as I draw her close to me, I say "goodnight"

"Good night" Emma said back, then we fell asleep.

************☆☆

I awaken to hear footsteps.
I slowly open my eyes and see a 7 year old little girl.
She reminds me too much of Emma.

"Hello, are you ok, sweetie?" I ask.

She looked at me startled, then screamed, and ran away.

"No! Stop!" I yelled. She didn't listen and continued running.
'Poor girl, she must be so scared' I thought, and then I drifted back to sleep.
