Another World

•••

My eyes are wide open. Silently cursing, was it all a dream? Are those scenes not real? How I wish I'm only dreaming and can't get myself to wake up. I closed my eyes, realizing that I may never come back. I felt my tears roll down my cheeks.

Am I cursed? What did I do wrong?

"You're crying again," I opened my eyes and wipe the tears on my cheek.

My head turned to my side to see Edna standing beside my bed while holding a tray. I pulled the comforter up to my chest and licked my lips.

"I'm sorry, I just had a bad dream." Was bad the right term for that?

My eyes landed on the tray that she's holding.

"Are you going to send that to Prince Elton?" I pointed at the tray.

"Not really, he told me to send it to you." She bit her lower lip and wiggled her eyebrows.

"Oh,"

"I'll leave this tray in here, better get up and eat them. Prince Elton might visit you later." Edna placed the tray on my bed table.

"Thanks, Edna." I gave her a close mouth smile.

"You're welcome," she did a curtsy before leaving my room.

I scanned the tray on my bed table. There was a cake, probably a bundt cake. There are lemon zests on top of it, too. It smelled good but I wasn't in the mood to eat cake today.

I remembered Prince Elton telling me that her mom was dead. There goes my plan B. How could I get home if the person I'm leaning on is dead?

This is so frustrating.

I was disturbed by a knock on the door. I sat on my bed and waited for the door to open. Prince Elton's head popped up.

"I'm sorry, did I disturbed you?"

No, you did not.

I shook my head and crossed my arms. "I'm sorry, I wasn't in the mood to eat cake today."

He opened the door widely open and went inside my room. He roamed around to look for the tray that he sent. Prince Elton looked a bit disappointed.

"I'm sorry, I might have sent the wrong treat." He scratched the back of his head.

My forehead creased and took a deep breath. "Wrong treat?"

Am I a dog? You bastard.

"Yes, Ravina dropped by a treat a few moments ago before you suddenly lost consciousness."

I really didn't fell asleep. I lost consciousness that led me to have that type of dream. A dream where I went back to the first time, again, to be with my friends and all. It was magical. Yet, it was just a dream.

I'm still afraid that I'll be staying here for too long. Wasn't there a coincidence that I grabbed my phone before I went black?

That led me to my next plan. I have to look for my old clothes. I'm pretty sure Edna hasn't burned them yet. I know that she's lying that led her to slam the door right into my face.

I don't want to get caught either. I can't afford to lose my life.

"Can I have that treat, instead?" I used my puppy eyes to lure him in.

His eyes widened and nodded. "Sure, I'll be waiting outside while you dress up."

Bingo.
