ReAwakened!

4. The Mansion

I reached the airport as per mom's instructions , I took a taxi instead of the Anderson Mercedes. The driver look at me odd when I asked him to drive me to the place I was supposed to go in. The plane must have reached earlier but the taxi washroom was slow I reached my destination at seven. It was really dark.
The driver insisted that I should go back he said that it was not good for me but then I remembered what was I ? Good ,no. I am the baddest being on earth. I smiled that him tensed expressions and wished him goodbye, he was no happy when I did so. I old driver stopped thrice expecting me to run back to his taxi and he just carried disappointed with him. I was glad that him cared.
I started finding something that was wrong in and around me but I found none so I strangled into the black forests . Deep in the forests I found small light glowing above me, white light that reminded me of Harry Potter first entering into Hogwarts I quickly followed the pathI could say that the light was lit only a few feet above me. It was a glittery white shining liquid substance that moving peacefully above my head . I could feel the intense power of it. I wanted to touch it but I was scared of the consequences. So I just followed it.
It was bad here,expect for the light every other thing was really bad ,the the weird lifeless leafless trees and the stupid isolated road all scared the hell out of me. I was running as quickly as I can, but the stupid branches that hit my head and my abdomen slowed me down ,then the mud shot on the ground after being stumbled by a Pebble took my time as well and now I Caroline Katty Anderson I mean the defeated Caroline Katty Anderson had to walked on the thinnest of the engelmann spruce that was connected to the another ground were the light shines . This was the easy part as I was really good at balancing my body ,the difficult thing was that the the long tree was suspended to cross a endless abyss. I was scared of heights before,but now I had a different opinion. I slowly step by step Without looking down and only looking at the other did not cross the bridge. At the Midway I was about to discover the end of that abyss but a little branches of the tree weren't ready to let me die . With the help of the branches that lined up the fallen, I swung like a monkey to the other end of the tree. Here, it was freezing cold. I had been to Alaska and I didn't feel like this there. This was Antarctic cold. It was nor snowing or raining, just bluntly freezing. I hadn't dressed properly for this place cause I don't know where the heck I was going!!
But still I kept on walking and it becomes worse. I fell in lots of mud puddles, mosquitoes found new blood-so, of course they'd like a sip-all of them, knocked into a lot of trees and stumbled around a lot. But I never gave up, I kept going on and on as I was stubborn and this path was wounding my ego.
At last, the trekking detour ended when I found a small light shining bright on the hill top. Then I started following that light ( why was I supposed to be the one following lights, this is insane and I am crazy). I followed the light to walk to a beautiful villa, in the middle of the forest. Under the moonlight, the wooden house glimmered, behind the villa the forest with all of its glory rested peacefully. I walked closer to the villa to find that the most beautiful house had a perfect garden to compliment it. It was a very huge garden, almost a meadow whose center was this house. Somewhere I was also able to hear flowing water. slowly but unsteady, I reached the meadow. I found a human there! A girl! At the eastern end of the meadow picking up some thing, maybe flowers or herbs. I didn't know to do because I might hurt her if she was nice to me but I needed help! I might even kill her because she was not my mom nor I was on a plane! I was fighting and fidgeting between my thoughts but my body wouldn't wait to find the end of the war- my brain and heart were going through. My legs speeded with my arms tight and I raced to the girl.
She smiled at my face when I reached here. Realizing that I was safe now, my legs gave up and I collapsed on the girl. My mind-heart war continued but everything was silenced when pain inflicted my body as I slipped into unconscious.......
I got up realizing what I did the night before. I was all warm in a comfy bed with a soft blanket. The place had a unique sweet fragrance. I turned my neck to my left to find a huge mirror which almost covered up the whol hall of this room, at the corner of the wall I saw some clothes laying. They were mine!! I quickly looked under the blanket and was happy to find some clothes on me. Good. I felt like I was healing, because the scar that I have on my temple-due to the dark branch of a tree looked like it was a week older. I got up right to slowly face the mirror checking if the other bruises cured. I got better, the bruises which should have been dark black were brown. I must have been sleeping for months, maybe I woke up from a coma. I was in a pretty white dress, whoever dressed me up really had a good fashion sense. I liked it. I turned around with a purple bruised leg to look around the room I was standing in. The bed was meant for two, had a lampshade next to it, the large to my left, large French doors into front of Me with a vase to its left. Something shined under the lamp, the  chain presented by dad and a  ring gifted by Maggie laid there. The vase held all kinds of violet, white and crimson flowers.
I walked to the wind-doors in front of me to see if I could still walk. I opened them wide, which I shouldn't have done, the cold breeze chilled up my spine. A plank was attached to the room, probably to support your weight.
So, I sat there and stared the woods before. For a long time, I stayed still, not letting my mind wonder off because I knew it would have consequences. Burnt skies, destroyed forest and frozen villa might top that list. The rising sun, the trees and the meadow were all very soothing. I was just thinking about the girl who might  have helped me when someone tapped my shoulder. I shuddered and quickly turned around to look at a boy about  my age. I must have had an unpleasant face as the guy backed off looking at my face. I  tried adjusting my expressions. He sat next to me and said " Hi, Carol. Don't you worry. You are safe here. Okay" with a soft voice
I am fine, always. It's just the people I hurt. They aren't fine. Go help them.
I nod once and looked away. He just sat there looking at me.
"Thanks" I said after a long pause.
"why?" he asked
"For taking care of me, help me heal" I answered, out of respect.
"Yeah, you are welcome. But I wasn't the one who found you. It was Cassie" he said smiling at his words"hey, next time you want to collapse on her, you warn my first"he jokef.  So the girl's name was Cassie. Was she alive? I guess so or why would this guy joke in this manner butI didn't understand the last sentence of his, so I was confused. He saw my face and understood that I didn't get him, so he continued "Because Cassie reached dragging you along with her, perfectly laud you on the couch and then collapsed on me" he completed. I knew that he was happy with her, that he belonged to her. Lovely couple. Did I know him? Because I felt familiar to him? Where did I see him? Gala? After party? Exhibition!?!!
"Brendan,.. Brendan Ernst Candor?" I asked
He nod and said "Didn't know a Anderson would remember me?"
So, I was right. He was Brendan, the boy whose invention, Dada is investing on.
The guy, a meadow between the woods and a villa. Damm, this was his? I was in his private house. So, I apologized "So, this is your house. Sorry that I disturbed you." - and before I could continue, he cut me off saying "Carol, it isn't only my home. Its also"
"Right, also Cassie's" I snapped. But something strange happened when I finished my sentences. His eyes changed color! From brown to blue and then brown again. Just for a second, but I didn't miss it.
"What was that?" I asked shocked. Did he take any crazy serem that he made?
"What?" he asked totally unaware of what actually happened.
"Your eyes, they ch-chan" I stimmered when It happened again. But this time I was on my feet and started moving away from him. What if he turned into a monster which would probably offend my dark side and I would kill him. He got up on his feet too to say" Carol, you don't understand. I am the one-"but before he could finish someone walked into the room.
