Sleepless

Chapter Five

Jane Moore

Sue's POV

"How are you crazy girl?" He smiled at me.

"Y-you!?" I gasped. "Who are you?"

"I should be the one asking you that. Who are you? I have stepped foot on all lands of Cor Carola looking for you but you were not seen. Do you still have my ring?" I took my mask off and used my hand to remove the smudges of make up on my face. He took a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over me.

"Here."

"Thank you. What is with your ring? I want to go back home already. I hate this place." My voice rose.

"Excuse me? That was a very important ring and there is nothing wrong with it. And what are you saying that you want to go home? Isn't the Cor Carola your home? Don't tell me that you still think that all of this is not real." He furrowed his brows.

"I'm not waking up from my dream since you gave me this ring." I looked at my thumb that had the ring.

"You're not waking up because this is not a dream." He softly said which made me look at him.

"No."

He breathed out. "Let me tell you everything about Cor Carola. I swear Miss, this is not a dream and I have no intentions to fool you. I've been looking for you for four years and even thought that you were dead or caught by the soldiers thinking you were crazy but now, you are here in front of me still saying that everything is unreal. I want to help you."

"You want to help me? Who are you actually?" He looked a little bit shocked with my second question.

"I am Felix. And you are?" He reached out his hand.

"Sue." I shaked his hand.

"What an unusual name Miss Sue. I assume that you are now aware that all of this is real, am I right Miss Sue?" He raised a brow.

He looked more mature than the last time I saw him. His body was more built than before, I mean it's not like I've checked him out you know hehe. I chuckled with the thought.

"Miss Sue?" He asked.

"Oh yes? Where were we?" I snapped out of my senses.

"You should be aware by now that all of this is real and not a dream." I was taken back with what he said. To be honest, I really don't know. I don't know what to believe. If this is not a dream, then where am I? And how did I get here? I'm so confused.

"To be really honest Sir Felix, I don't know where I am and how I got here. Let's just say that now I believe you that all of this is not a dream but how did I get here? I dreamed of coming to this place for years and wake up afterwards but now I can't go back. I'm pretty sure that I don't belong here." I softly said.

"Where do you live?" He let out a breath before asking.
"I am currently staying at Miss Hellen's house and I'm sure for how long I'm going to stay there." I shrugged.

"Ohh Miss Hellen, she's a kind woman and can be trusted." He nodded.

"Well..."

"So you're saying that you come from another place? But where?"

"London."

"London? Haven't heard of that place before. Something sounds wrong here. I know someone who can help you. She lives not that far from here but we need to- wait."

"What?"

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" He stood up.

"I can't even drive a car."
