Weird Dream

It's been a week since we left London, Hastie and Conan both still residing peacefully in London, planning their next trip to Japan, and of course with Kamuis permission, they can visit the Order. I'd love to show them around.

A small smiles creeps up my face.

'What's on your mind?'
It was Allen. He joined me in standing on the balcony of my room. I was freed from the wheelchair, my bookshelf was fixed and there were 3 of them now. I could walk by myself, which gave me some freedom from Kanda.

'Just Conan and Hastie. It's been a week and I already miss them.' I tell Allen as he embraces my figure. It was so peaceful, something I had always dreamed of.

'They'll come see you soon. That innocence you detected from his residence, was it actually the innocence?' Allen asks as he still holds me.

'No, it merely disguised itself as innocence so I'd go and fetch it. It's a protection charm from Asteria who apparently has close contact with Conan.' I smile at him whilst still looking out.
The stars were beautiful, no one could deny that. Each little star was a story. And each story had a meaning and a moral. Someday, I'll be a star, I'd stay close to Aoi and look down upon this pitiful world I lived in.

'It's about time you went to sleep. It's getting quite late, and Kanda will get worried.' Allen tells me.

'Screw Kanda, I want to do what I want to do. He's like a parent, I don't need them.' I tell him.

He looks at me with pitiful eyes.
'You've always wanted them, you needed them. What's the change of mind?'

I look at him with my clear eyes.
'Kanda'

He laughs. 'Of course, I couldn't have guessed'

I continue to stare at him. 'It's not funny! He's so clingy!' I tell him as he continues to laugh hysterically.
'Okay okay, go to sleep.' He tells me.
I nod and push him out of my room.
'I can sleep by myself'

He laughs and exits.
'Night'

And so, as he left I closed my balcony and prepared myself for slumber. It was silent and dark, the only light being produced was by the stars shining through the blinds of my room. My books rested easily, a picture of Nea, Mana, Allen and the snow rested on my bedside table, memories I don't want to forget.

As soon as my mind left it's wonder palace, my eyes started to droop, I was so tired, a week after I saw my friends again, I read so much Sherlock Holmes, helped so many people in the order and they helped me stay away from Kanda.

Tonight is finally the night I will sleep peacefully. Or so I thought.
As I fell asleep, the world around me became warped, everything was like a nightmare. Things I didn't want to see again, memories of which I can't recall.

'Kill her! She's useless! Odd hair and those wings! She's a monster not a messenger of God!' The words repeated in my mind.

A sudden pastel image of a woman with white hair and a black stripe came into view, she was cradling a baby with the same hair colour, just inverted. She sang a lullaby to her baby,
'Čiūčia liūlia dukrytėla
Mano mylimoji
Kiek jau kartų per dienelį
Tavį pakilojau
Pakilojau panešiojau
Patalėlį klojau
Čiūčia liūlia dukrytėla
Mano mylimoji
Auk didutė būk greitutė
Mano dukrytėla
Čiūčia liūlia dukrytėla
Mano mylimoji.'
A foreign lullaby, with beautiful meaning. Yet why can I understand the lyrics, why do I know the song and why do I want to cry upon hearing it?

So many questions.

The scene changes and the pastel image shows a woman hung, her black and white hair covering her face, covering her potential tears, a babies cries can be heard, so soft and pitiful. The stars didn't shine that day, the sky was black in mourning.

Was she.. no, she can't be.

The woman was dead, a man by her side was seen crying as her body was taken down from the stand. Publicly hanged because..

'She believed in the Greek Gods' someone in my mind spoke.

Polytheism got her killed! That's obnoxious! Let the woman believe what she wants to believe.

'That's not how it works Avery.' The voice spoke again.

'Who are you..? How do you know my name?'

'I'm called 青い and I'm a star.' It answered me.
Blue.. Aoi.

'Brother?' I ask.

'Yes? Fear not child, grandmother and I will always look after you.' He tells me before leaving my mind.

'Please don't leave me Aoi.. I need you' I speak out towards the voice, yet there's no return with vocal tone.

Aoi, I want to see you again, I want to play our games again, sing our lullabies. Why did you have to die? So young.. you left me..

But why, why do I have to be alone.
No surprise though. I'll always be alone.

Suddenly, I wake up with tears in my eyes. It was morning, a normal looking day. The stars were gone, I was alone once again, until my door opened and Kanda stepped forward, rushing towards me and hugging me.

'You're not alone'

(Sorry it's short, but it's Christmas~ and 10 days ago I turned a year older!)
