secrets of Dainswood

chapter 3-creepy dreams

SATURDAY (Coles party day)

i see myself in another dream. Im well aware that im dreaming and once again im walking towards a door. I can hear muffled voices coming from inside and i walk slowly towards it. I fail to resist the blue light, it attracts me towards the door...
I wake up with a gasp again and a shiver runs down my spine. I shrug away the thoughts about the dream and suddenly realise that today is coles party day.

***

Im at Remi and Rod's house. I sit on Remi's milk white stool facing the mirror as she brushes my dark red hair gently and gets rid of knots.
Remi is a great person to talk to, she listens carefully and gives good advice. Rod on the other hand dosent take many things seriously.
Im at Remi's place to get ready for Cole's party. I was pretty hyped for the party but now it seems fruitless and im worrying about Ruth alot.
Remi notices by grave silence. She ties her waist length blonde hair in a ponytail and sits on the bed, i turn from the mirror to face her.

"listen lexa, Ruth was probably checking out how the shack was progressing" Remi said to me, again...
This was her reply when I told her about how I saw Ruth walk towards the Dark Dain shack at night while driving to my aunts.
"But Remi, it was dark and all the lights were closed! you know Ruth would never go to Dark Dain alone without shitting her pants" I replied while dragging my words.
Remi pat both her knees together and stood up
"well then she probably shit her pants" remi said which made me roll my eyes.
why wasnt anyone listening to me?
cant anyone see what a mess Ruth is becoming?

"who shit their pants?" Rod said loudly as he entered the room while munching on his cheetos.
His sudden appearence startled Remi.
"Rod what is your problem!" Remi half-screamed while going through the closet for her party dress.
Rod acted like Remi wasnt even in the room and ignored her comment.

"so Lexa...whats new" Rod asked me as he set aside his cheetos on Remi's vanity table, a few cheetos rolled outside the packet and spread on her table.
"except Ruth being weird,nothing" i replied
I think i heard Remi scoff from the closet, I feel like she was getting annoyed by the topic of Ruth
"speaking of weird, im having these really weird dreams" Rod said as he sat on the bed while I still on the white stool.
His sentence grabbed my attention since i was having weird dreams as well.

"what type of dreams" i said suddenly.
during Rod and i talked, Remi moving things around the closet was our background sound with a few birds chirping.
"well i see im in a room and theres like a really beautiful girl, like so beautiful and shes like wearing a big blue dress, her dress, i dont know how to explain this but her dress lights up the whole room and that girl is hella gorgeous" Rod says
"all you dream about is hot girls Rod" Remi says as she sits down on the bed with Rod.
He rolls his eyes.
"whatever, these dreams are weird, ive had more then one" Rod says seriously.
"Rod... ive been having weird dreams too" i finally decide to tell them about my dreams.
"oh my god girl tell me about it" he replies.
Certainly Remi loses interest in our creepy-talk because she snuggles on the other side of the bed and uses her phone. I get off the stool and take Remi's place next to Rod and spill all about the weird door and the luring blue light. He listens carefully with his immense green eyes focused on me.
"wow this could mean something" Rod replies, almost talking to himself since he's so wrapped up in his own thoughts.
"like what?" i ask curiously.
Before Rod could reply a piercing yell comes from Remi.

"OK THATS ENOUGH OF SCARY TALK! GET OUT RODNEY ANDERSON! OUT OF THIS ROOM!"
even rod listens and hurrieds outside.
Remi's voice is usually soft and comforting but it can also be scary when she is angry.
i wait for a few seconds.

"Lexa, coles party starts in a hour, Now im gonna do your makeup peacefully and we are going to have a normal party without creepiness and have fun" she says, it sounded like an order.
"Ok" was all that could come out of my mouth.

i sat on the stool and stared mindlessly at my reflection in the mirror while Remi made a disgusted face at Rod's cheetos on her vanity table,she threw it in the trash and did my makeup while i was lost in thoughts.
