I would love to announce that we got on a plane and travelled for days, arriving at Australia or Barbados but sadly I cannot. We didn’t catch a flight, travel for days, no we travelled by car. Not for days but minutes about thirty to be precise to the next town over. I seriously am starting to think that I had followed my dad down a rabbit hole and got high on ‘drink me’. I am definitely going to be placed in care if they find that dad has taken me to Vita another dimension 30 minutes away from my house. Oh well the high street was different to my village one; does that count as being in a different dimension?
No! I didn’t think so either. I better make the most of this day trip with dad before he’s sectioned and wrapped up in white.
Dad stopped the car outside an abandoned new age shop. You know the ones, advertising fortune readings and stinking of incense, I felt like I had arrived at the frilly female version of Borgin and Burkes. Bad stuff happened in that shop and it served the Death eaters so there is no way I am entering this place.
‘Dad, this is a shop that helped the Death eaters get into Hogwarts and I for one will not enter that evil place.’
‘Fluffy this is a place of up most importance. No I am not a Death eater and this shop is completely fine’
Right I know that I should believe my dad and honestly I do but I am getting a really bad vibe from this place. I don’t think this is safe.
Something bad is going to happen.
‘I tried to warn you dad that this was going to happen’ he has been looking for someone to help him for 5 minutes and I can tell he’s frustrated. Like I said no patience.
‘No you didn’t’ why is he always calm it is obvious to me he’s frustrated. Does he not see that this place is abandoned? There is no one to help us. Not like I want to buy anything from here, it’s all creepy looking. Mirrors were surrounded by script in an ancient language not leaves and flowers like you would expect.
‘Hey dad, what are you looking for?’
‘A mirror’
Oh right and how the feck I am supposed to find a mirror when there are bloody millions lining the walls to the point where I could not even see the wallpaper.
‘Great! Dad do you have any details of the one you looking for, as I am staring at a million of mirrors right one’
And then the crazy bastard does a 180 and replies with ‘you’ll know it, when you see it’. How exactly does that work daddy dearest? Will it scream at me? Dance at me? Or glow a beautiful blue at me?
Where does the blue come from? I’ve seen it before, felt it before.
‘Dad I am dreaming again’
‘Why do you think that fluffy?’
‘I can feel him’ it’s true I can feel him calling my name. The blue glow entices me to return home. He’s calling me, he’s so lonely and trapped, I need to protect him, and I need to help him be free. My dragon needs to fly.
Arms wrap around me. Dad. I fall back and land in the arms of my rock, what I am going to do? Dad is not going to be the one locked up in a mental home. I am, surrounded by white and no comforting blue. I can’t allow that to happen the blue is my haven, my safe place away from life. My chocolate.
‘Fluffy I need you reach out and connect with your dragon and follow him. Trust in him and he will guide you to him, guide you home. Remember these words as they will always be true.’ I turn to my crazy Dad as I hear a goodbye in those words.
‘Dad what is going on? Home? My home is here with you’
‘Kayla I need you to walk forward and go with him. Do not look back and do not worry about me’ I hear fear in his voice, something no daughter should hear form their saviours. Their father, I hope you never have to hear it. I want to turn and embrace him to chase away the fear he feels. But he asked me not to look back and not to worry.
But I never follow orders and I only occasionally listen to my dad. So what do I do? What any rule breaker does! I turned around.
I wish I had listened to my dad.
What did I say about this place?
Evil.
And fuck me there is my crazy bastard dad looking at it like it’s an average everyday dog whilst he is holding his bloody sword. It is not average and definitely not every day that you see a bloody hell hound in a stare off with your dad.
‘D...D...DAD’
‘Kayla I need to find the mirror that you feel your dragon in. GO KAYLA’
He’s crazy I am not leaving him he’s family.
‘Kayla. Kayla please, do this for me. I will follow and find you.’ Desperation seeps through my dad’s voice, he wants me safe and he believes in my dragon. Maybe I should believe to.
‘Dad! Promise me you will find me’ I feel as though this will be the last time that I stare in to my dad’s soft brown eyes. I don’t want to leave him and be alone. I want to stay and fight by his side.
Blue surrounds me, fading my view. I search and look around drawn away from the howls and the smell of death. A mirror winks down at me and I feel my body being tugged and pulled towards it. I look back, Where is dad? I can’t see him.
‘Dad’
DAD
Nothing. No sounds, no sign of dad and as I search the picture gets small. As I fall backwards towards the earth at an alarming speed. I’ve gone through the mirror just like dad wanted. But I am falling without a parachute, without dad. The only I can do is embrace death and wait to embrace my dad again.
Unknown pov
I fly through the air. Free from thought. Free from responsibility. I look around at the landscape below me wishing that I could always feel this. What is that?
To the left of my I see an object falling backwards. It’s not an object, it’s a person. I urge Caesar around; I cannot let them die when I can prevent it. Caesar flies under the person’s back cushioning their landing with his talons. I examine the person it’s a girl and she’s unconscious. I need to get her to a healer and find out some answers.
How did she get here? Why was she falling?
What are her plans in the Elven kingdom?
