↠ [5.5] WAKE UP

Sweven
(n.) a vision seen in sleep; a dream

☽

Willa woke up, hearing a soft voice calling her name. She opened her eyes, adjusting them to the bright of the fire. Her head hurt and everything around her was blurry.

"Willa, hey! Are you okay?" She looked toward the sound, seeing a figure at the other side of the cave. "Are you okay?" The voice repeated. Willa closed her eyes, trying to make the blurry disappear. When she opened her eyes again, the blurry was gone. She tried to stand up, from her laying position on the floor, but as soon as she moved her head, she felt dizzy and nauseous. Her eyes become heavy and they began to close again. "Willa, don't - wake up, wake up." Her vision became black and she was back at an unconscious state.

Willa was in the middle of a grey and empty hallway. She recognized it very well. It was the hallway she took to her house. She was in the Ark. How the hell did I end up here? She thought. The last thing she remembered was running after Octavia through the woods on Earth.

"Hello?" She shouted, her voice echoing through the empty and silent hallway. "Is someone there?" Silence. "Octavia?" Silence again. "Bellamy?"

Without answer, Willa walked down the hallway, toward the her house. When she approached the grey door, she saw that the door was slightly opened. Confused, she looked around, seeing all the other doors closed. She walked toward the door and slowly opened it, feeling slightly apprehensive to what she was going to find inside the room. She took a few steps entering the room.

"Hi, Sweetheart." A british voice said, a voice that Willa knew anywhere.

"Mom?" Sitting on the couch reading a book was Willa's mom. Selene.

"How was your day?" She asked. Willa didn't answered and just stood there frozen looking at her mother. She was exactly like she remembered. Her curly and long brown hair, falling down her back and shoulders, her concentrated expression everytime she read a book and her beautiful light brown eyes. When Selene didn't got an answer she took her eyes from the book and looked at Willa with her familiar and warm smile. "Is everything okay?" Willa felt a tear falling down her cheek. "Oh sweetheart, what happened?" She put the book away and got up from the couch, walking toward her daughter.

"H-How...you're alive!" Willa said, not believing that her mother was right in front of her.

"What are you talking about? Of course I'm alive." She said, putting her hands on Willa's shoulder. "Why shouldn't I?"

"You-they... They floated you."

"Floated me? Did you had a bad dream?" Willa didn't said anything and started crying. "Oh, come here." Selene hugged her daughter that was still in shock. After a few seconds they separated. "Guess what? Your father brought me a new book." She let go of Willa and walked toward the couch and grabbed her book, showing it to Willa. Iliad could be read on the cover. "Tells the story about the..." She stopped, feeling that it was hard to breath. "The story... about..." She dropped the book and grabbed her throat with her hands.

Willa quickly ran to her mother, in time to caught her from falling on the floor. "Mom? Mom?"

Selene looked at her and ran her hand down Willa's hair. "Wake up Willa, wake up."
