Wake Up Alaura!

Chapter IV:Stop Kicking Me

"Oh. So that was it."Philip said with a petrified tone.

"Well, it sends me shivers." Haela said while she rubs her arm back and forth.

"I think we should really need to hurry. The weather is getting worse."I interrupted.

"Well, goodbye Alaura." Haela said as she waves her hand.

"Goodbye Haela and Philip."I walked as I said a farewell.

  Geez, this weather sure is weird. It doesn't just happen like that. We didn't even hear the news about this. Normally, every night, we listen to the news as I do chores or homework.

"Dear?" my mom asked me as I put my things to where it belongs.

"Yes, mom?"

"Why did you came home so early?"

"Because-"

"She's suspended-"my sister interrupted.

"Wait, what? No!"

"Just joking sis. We don't have a class due to weather conditions."

"But it was warm and sunny an hour ago..." my mom wondered in confusion.

  My crazy sister opened the door, revealing a humongous dark cloud surrounding the atmosphere. The cloud was even darker than before. Lightning lit the sky as thunder roared. Mom closed the door and locked it.

"Dear?"

"Yes, mom?"

"Did you lock our gates?"

"Well of course. Who in the world wouldn't lock the gates in this type of weather?"

"Good."

  Yay? Classes are suspended? Should I be happy? I questioned myself as we settled down. While doing nothing, I slept. Well, who wouldn't sleep if you're too sleepy?

"Well hello there little one." a man with a sinister look and a grey beard greeted my little brother.

"Who are you mister?"I asked him while swiping my brother away and held him in my arms.

  He just chuckled. Is he a psycho? What does he want from brother? Why is he here? I asked myself. A second later, he brought out a knife and tried to stab me and my brother. I ran away from him, carrying my brother in my arms. A moment later, the surroundings changed, again. Now, we are in the middle of a deserted island.

"Hello?" my brother called out into the endless sea.

  The mysterious figure appeared with a more detailed look. It had a black cloak. It's diabolical red eyes kept staring at me. I was too scared. I feel like I'm going to die in this dream. I-

"Hey! Stop kicking me! Sis!" my sister shouted.

  I woke up, only to find out it was only a dream. Not a dream anymore, but a nightmare. But if that was a nightmare, then why do I always feel tired after waking up?

"What are you even dreaming? Are you a ninja kicking bad guys in your dream?" she angrily said along with kicking actions.

"I... um... I-"

"Never mind. Let's just go to the dining room. I'm hungry."

  We went to the dining table and sat down in our comfy seats. Well, I guess I should eat.

"Lunch is ready." my mom called.

"Yay!" my brother jumped with joy,

  Whew, my brother's safe. If that nightmare would happen to me in this real world, I'll definitely die. Just kidding, but seriously.

"Mom"

"Yes my dear Alexa?"

"Big sis keeps kicking me while she's sleeping."

"Mom, I was having a nightmare and-"

"If you two won't behave, I'll make you kneel in salt. Why don't you two be like your angelic little brother?"

  Well, my little brother is angelic. He's very well behaved for a toddler like him. One time, he saw a hungry little kid, he gave him his own lunchbox with delicious food. Why a lunchbox with delicious food? Well...

"Miss Fely, help my dear Alaura wash the dishes."

"Yes, Madam Aurora."

  We may have a nanny helping us, but my mom said we should learn to be responsible, so we do our own homework and let nanny do the other things.

"So what did you dream about Madam Alaura?" nanny asked while helping me wash the dishes.

  I told her everything.
