Winter Wonderland (Once Upon a Time fanfic) (on hold)

December 3 - Not Only Mind, But Memories

I kept seeing this castle in the middle of the darkness. I notice there was some fires blowing out of it, and it looked quite chaotic. I just kept staring at it, and then suddenly I heard someone calling my name from behind. I turned around fast and I notice I was standing in a hallway. I looked around...I must be inside the castle. Suddenly there came some fires in the distant, and I couldn't do anything else than run. As I kept running down the hallway I notice the castle falling apart behind me. My heart kept beating faster and faster, and suddenly I was just flying in the air, and then I hit the floor on the other side of the hallway. Hopefully it went fine, but as I got up brushing off the dust, I notice something in the end of the hallway. A door...I turned around again and notice I was no longer at the castle, but in the deceased man's house. I walked slowly towards the door and opened it. Hopefully it was open, and as I got inside I notice the mirror standing there uncovered. Suddenly it became brighter and brighter, and I had to cover my eyes.

[Dream over]

As I opened my eyes again I notice Cleo taking away the curtains in my room, and as I kept blinking I notice I was in my bed sleeping.

(Good morning sweetie) Cleo said as she turned to look at me. (Have you slept well?) she asked me. I rubbed my eyes for a moment until I finally saw her even clearer.

(Not really) I told her.

(You had a nightmare?) she asked me and came over to sit down.

I shook my head and tried to remember what I dreamt. The castle, the fire and of course the mirror. I was about to tell Cleo, but then I realized I couldn't tell her.

(Oh, no. I'm fine) I told her and got out of bed.

(You're sure? You don't look alright) she told me and grabbed my hand. She manage to turn me around and took her hand on my forehead. (You don't have a fever) she told me as she let her hand go.

(No, Cleo. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired from yesterday. I'm sure John's too) I told her.

(Alright) she said, but she still seemed a bit worried.

(Is Dina still asleep?) I asked her as I got my robe on.

(She should be awake. I just woke her up) she told me.

(Okay) I said and headed out the door and towards Dina's room. I knocked quietly on the door and opened it slowly. (Dina, you're awake?) I asked, and as I opened the door I notice her still sleeping, but her blanket was off. I guess she tried to get up, but she fell asleep again. I smiled to myself, but then I went over to sit by her side. (Sweetie. It's morning) I told her as I shook her slowly.

(Mmh) I heard she saying, and then I notice her eyes open slowly. (Mommy?) she asked.

(Yes, it's me) I told her and moved some of her hair away. (I'm going to get your calendar gift) I told her and got up. I walked over to her calendar, taking the rope off, and then I walked back to her. (Here you go sweetheart) I told her, and she slowly sat up taking her gift.

This time she was more slower than two days ago. Yesterday I got her some sweets which she likes, and today she got some more of her favorite sweets. However, she wasn't that quite surprised or excited about it. She was more tired than I suspected.

(Thanks mom) she said, finally. She still seemed tired, and like she just wanted to go back to bed. (I'm so tired) she said as she rubbed her eyes.

(I know, but it's time for school) I told her.

(Oh, why can't Christmas come any sooner?) she asked, while she got up from her bed.

(Come on, keep it up for just some few weeks) I told her as I helped her get ready for school.
