Disastrous Fate-Sweenett.

Chapter 22

I suddenly woke up and my eyes immediately opened with a gasp. I found my head between my arms and my legs on top with each other.

I looked at my arms and then my dress? Why was I wearing a dress? Last time I remembered, I was wearing Sweeney's shirt. I placed both my hands on my dress and looking at it.

It was colored white. The sleeves were up to my wrists with some openings but they were just below my shoulders. It was a long dress but it was not wide but it did have a corset. My chest was bare too and it showed a great view on my cleavage.

I looked at my surroundings and noticed I was lying on white colored dirt on the ground. I, then slowly got up and looked around.

The place looked like fleet street but it was entirely crowded that no one was around.

I started walking forward as I looked at the houses. They looked old that their papers were already hanging, their windows and doors were rusty and they were making a horrible squeaking that it sent shivers all over me and their glasses were filled with dirt.

It was misty, cold and windy. Now, it seemed like a ghost town. The wind was swirling around and my hair was flipping around.

The houses were lined up like a never ending corridor.

I suddenly heard soft running footsteps. I turned my head fastly, making my long auburn hair flip. After all, it was down.

I saw someone wearing a red riding hood and looking at me but it looked like she just paused cause she was in side view but her head was turned to me and I couldn't see her face but I was sure she was a woman.

Suddenly, she started running away from me and carried her dress with her hands.

" WAIT! " I shouted desperately as I raised my hand and it didn't look like she was stopping. So, I carried my dress too, watched my steps and started running after the fugitive.

She turned to the right direction and so I followed her. I gathered all my speed and ran ever faster. She looked like she was tired cause she started slowing down when she saw me coming to her fastly.

I ran into her and accidentally fell and landed on her. She tried to wiggle beneath me but I was holding her wrists tightly to avoid her from being free.

" WHO ARE YOU? " I yelled at her as she still tried to wiggle away from me.

" GET OFF ME! " the unknown person shouted as she still was wiggling until her hood was off her face. No. It couldn't be. She had yellow hair and had beautiful face and her skin was pale.

" Lucy? " I asked her, confused. She finally got away from me and stood up, dusting off some dirt on her dress. She looked pissed off. I was still standing there with my mind confused.

" You're alive? Wha-? What are you doing here? " I furrowed my eyebrows as I said this.

She started calming down as she sighed softly but heavily. " I came here to wish you good luck....on your upcoming family." Lucy said to me as she took two steps forward.

" Upcoming family? Wha-? What are you talking about? Sweeney died. He left me all alone. Now I'm becoming ever miserable everyday. " I told her miserably.

" No, Nellie. There's always a chance for happiness. " she said this as she smiled slightly.

" Happiness?! How could there be a chance for happiness when I'm alone by the sea and my dead husband always haunting me?! " I yelled at her.

" Dear, you're not thinking too well. " she started as she stepped forward until she was in front of me.

" Didn't you remember that he promised to come back to you? Isn't a promise a promise? " she asked me these true questions.
