Mission Number One Part 1

I only own my OC's!

Screaming. That was the only thing I could hear. Opening my eyes, I sat up on what appeared to be soft ground. But, I knew what this place was very well. It was.... London. I quickly stood up and started looking around. I had to admit, I kind of missed this place... But wait. Why was such a ruckus here?

That was when I saw a little girl not too far away from me. She was wearing a lilac dress, and she looked like she was 5.... Her hair was dark brown, so were her eyes. But, were so dark that they nearly looked like black... And right now, they were looking around frantically. "UNCLE!" She screamed with tears streaming down her cheeks.

It was then that horse trampling could be heard. That explained why the girl was so scared... I immediately started running towards the girl, wanting to help her out of this mess. "Don't worry, I'll help you!" I exclaimed and was about to catch her hand when.... My hand passed right through hers. In fact, she looked like she hadn't heard me, nor seen me at all!

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I screamed while looking at my hands. But once again, the girl couldn't hear me, which was good for her because I would be a bad role model with all the swearing, but still... But still it wasn't good for me! How was I supposed to help her if I was like a ghost?!

Where was her uncle?! "UNCLE!" The girl screamed once again and I could see smoke coming from the distance. Come on uncle, just show up and help her already! That was when.... I saw a horse stampede moving towards the little girl. "NO!" I screamed and tried to take the girl's hand once again, to no avail.

The girl screamed, about to be trampled by a horse when.... A hand took her. I looked up to see a man lifting the girl up and holding her while jumping out of the stampede's way.

The scene changed. This time, the man was putting the girl down. I observed him better. It was a man in what looked to be his forties, dressed in a suit. He had light brown hair and dark brown eyes. The girl looked up at the man, still frightened when shouting could be heard. "Lilette! Thank goodness you're alright!" A short woman with red hair and brown eyes ran to the girl, lifting her up.

My eyes widened at the woman's words. She said, Lilette? "We were so worried! Come on, the others are waiting." She put the girl down and started leading her somewhere. But, the girl turned around to look at where the man had been before... Only to find he wasn't there anymore.

This time, the girl was running through the park when she bumped into someone. She looked up at the man in wonder and surprise. "Children are not supposed to be all alone, you know." The man commented with a frown in a thick British accent. The little girl, on the other hand, was looking at him from head to toe.

"Who are you?" She asked curiously. That question made the man glare at her. "No one important. Now please, go away. It's not safe for you to be alone." He responded with hands in pockets of his tuxedo. "But I'm not alone. You're here!" The girl pointed out the truth. "As much as it's true, I'm not the one who cares for children, neither am I good with them." The man tried to tell her the most calmly he could.

The girl narrowed her eyes but sighed. "Thank you." She said simply. "For what?" "For saving me. Whoever you are." That was when I heard a woman calling for someone. "Lilette!" She shouted. "Go." The man pushed the girl slightly, making her glare at him. "Go! Now!" He didn't take no as an answer and the girl started running towards the source of the voice.

I shot up in the bed with sweat over my face. Looking around the room, I stood up slowly and walked to a window. It was still a night time, and the full moon was shining brightly. I swear to God, these crazy dreams were going to be the end of me one day! Except that this one seemed to be quite real... I mean, the woman called the girl Lilette! Maybe that was me... It all looked like a distant memory...
