Baby Blue (Sal x Larry)

-14-

Sal's POV

   "We had an audience...", Larry says. I turn to him. "What?", i say. "Travis was watching us through the door. He cracked the door open. I looked him dead in the eyes.", Larry says.
   My face heats up a bit. Ash grins. The others go back to what they were doing. I sigh. Larry looks at me. "You okay, Blue?", he asks. I shake my head.
   "I have a feeling in my stomach... Something is coming... And its not going to be good...", i say. "Does it have to do with our dreams?", he asks. "Maybe...", i say.

     "Maybe we should find that meadow. Our dreams take place at that meadow. Maybe theres something there.", Larry says. "What dreams?", Todd asks. "Me and Larry have been sharing dreams for a while.
   Most are a beautiful scenery in a meadow.", i say. "Maybe in the woods by the apartments?", Ashley asks. "Possibly. Why dont we go after school to the woods. See if we can find the Meadow.", Todd suggests.
   We all agree. Lunch soon ends and we move to our next class. All four of us sit together as always. I start thinking about what this all means.

   Dreams of the meadow, me covered in blood, Larry as a ghost, the cult and red eye demon at our "wedding". This all has a meaning but what does it mean?
   I feel someone nudge me. I snap out of my thoughts. I see its Larry. "You okay, Blue?", he asks. I shrug. "Just a lot on my mind is all, Lar.", i say.
   He smiles at me. He holds my hand. He brings my hand to his lips and gently kisses my hand. I blush softly and smile. He smiles at me. Class goes by quickly.

   The bell rings and we go to our next and final class. Ashley has finished and turned in her painting. Today, Larry turns his in. I already turned mine in a while back.
   People still are finishing their painting. We just draw instead. I see Larry look at me every few minutes and smile. I tilt my head. "What are you drawing, Larry?", i ask.
   He smiles. 'His smile...', i thought.  "Oh its nothing.", he says. He looks up from his drawing. "Ill show you later.", he says and winks at me. I blush. I look over at Ashley. She looks at me and Larry.

   She smiles at us both. I smile back at her. Larry is too focused on drawing. The bell rings. 'Class really went by super fast...', i thought.
   Me and Larry go to our lockers. "So, what had you so focused in art class?", i ask Larry. He blushes slightly and smiles. He opens up his drawing book. I stand next to him.
   He shows me the drawing. Its a realistic drawing of how we looked in our dreams. The meadow, me in all white and him in all black, slow dancing. I smile up at him. He smiles back.

   We put our things in our locker. Larry gently grabs my hand and we meet up with Ashley and Todd. We all walk back to the apartments.
   We all go through the back of the apartments to Larry's room. "So, you two know what the meadow looks like. Would you guys be able to reconize it if we find it?", Todd asks.
   I nod. "Okay. Well, we should head out. See if we can find it before nightfall.", Todd says. We gather up some flashlights, ropes, and a few other things we may need. We then head out back into the woods.

   We begin exploring the woods. Its still sunny out but it doesnt last long. Dark clouds roll in. "Stay close.", Ashley yells. We continue to explore the woods. It begins to rain.
   It becomes so heavy, i cant see anyone. Soon, im alone. "Todd! Ashley! Larry!", I call out but get no response. I start to panic. I dont know where i am. I start to run.
   I run blindly. Then i see it. I find the meadow. Its the only spot that is bright and sunny with no rain. I enter the meadow. Its warm. I look around.

   I hear people whispering my name. I tug on my pigtails. "Todd!Ashley! Larry!", i call out again but still no answer. "Its time, Sal Fisher...", a voice says. I turn around.
   My heart stops. Its the Cult. They surround me. The leader smiles at me and removes my mask. Im frozen from fear. "We have been waiting for you, Sally...", the leader says.
    "Sal!!", a voice calls. The leader drops my prosthetic. They fade away. I drop to my knees. "Sally!", i hear Ashley call for me. I cant move or respond. I hear them running towards me.
