My Story (Ghost Bird) •••

Chapter 4•••

Waking with a start, I look around the room when I feel the air shifting. Looking towards the window where Dream was laying last night, she is standing beside the open window where Patience crawls through.

"Sleep Sang, we have an early morning," Peace says, crawling into the bed, wrapping me in her arms tightly.

Closing my eyes, I faintly hear the window closing before sleep takes over again.

•-•-•-•-•

"Get up Sang, you have five minutes to be downstairs," Harmony's voice floats into my dream, startling me.

Shaking my head to get rid of fuzziness, I see that Peace and Harmony are sitting on the side of the bed, looking at me expectantly.

"What?"

"You snore really loud," Harmony says, a rare smile peeking out.

"I do not snore," this is an argument that has been going on forever and drives me crazy.

"Yes you do, but it's a cute snore so you have no worry about chasing off future lovers," Peace jokes, getting a small chuckle out of Harmony.

"Where's Dream?" Last night she was here.

"Left around one forty," Harmony says throwing my clothes at me, signaling for me to get ready faster.
"Oh," I say disappointedly  before leaving my room for a shower.

I try to remember if I woke up when Dream was leaving but all my brain is filled with is nothingness because I don't think I saw or heard or felt Dream leaving this morning.

Returning only a few minutes later, Harmony scans my clothes before nodding in approval. I think Patience would approve, hopefully or else we'll have to sit through another one of her boring fashion lectures.

Going back to my room, Harmony is gone but Peace is sitting on my bed reading one of my books. Slowly drying my hair, I momentarily stop with panic, what if people don't like me at school, what if I'm bullied? Sheer panic consumes as I think of what people might do to me or the others.

Peace sighs and then slams the book shut, turning and glaring at me. "I can hear your thoughts all the way over here, stop thinking, please." She begs, swinging her legs over the side of the bed and standing. "What could you possibly be thinking about so hard?"

"I'm scared."

"Why?"

"School was terrible in Illinois, I was outcasted."
"This isn't going to be the same. You think Dream would let us live if you abandoned you?" Giving Patience "eh" look, I'm not sure. Dream doesn't seem to care about me much, she couldn't even stay the whole night at my house, that's how much she dislikes me.

"Don't give me that look, Dream cares about you she just doesn't know how to show it. None of us and I mean none of us, are going to let you be alone. Even if it means Dream has to pull the others and I from our mission, you will never be alone, not if we can help it. One of us is guaranteed to be in your class. You'll be one of the most popular girls at school, I mean, look at us, we're smoking hot." Giggling, Peace always knows how to make me feel better.

"Where's Harmony?"

"At the store getting breakfast since you've run out of food."

The front door slams open making me flinch that mother will come and see Peace and Harmony standing in the house. They may pose as her doctors but I don't know how she would feel about them being here so early in the morning and both of them at the same time.
