"I'm going to make you happy one day.

I'm going to give you all the

happiness in the world.

Because you deserve it.

And I'll make all the pain go away."

Adelaide was in a garden.

It was a lavish garden that looked like the gold of nature. There was soft green grass for as long as she could see. In the grass, there were small, colorful flowers sprinkled throughout like confetti.

There were tall, thick bushes surrounding the garden. They were so high that Adelaide could see nothing but the bright blue sky above them. A few feet in front of her was a small creek with a small bridge crossing over it. The bridge led to a narrowed paved path that slithered into the depths of the forest which looked alive with songbirds and color.

Just at the point where the land met the horizon in the forest, she could see a glimpse of a sparkling lake.

Adelaide turned around to see a swing behind her. It was tied up to a tree with a rope of flowers. She sat down on the swing, letting her feet dangle off the side. The warm sun bathed her skin in bliss and the wonderful smells of the lake and the forest hugged her.

Adelaide let out a quiet sigh. This was peace.

Her heartbeat slowed and so did her breaths. She never wanted to leave this place, wherever it was. She was tired of the outside world. This was the safest she had ever felt in years. She closed her eyes, beginning to swing herself back and forth slowly.

Just when Adelaide thought she had her peace, she heard the sound of a girl laughing childishly. It was happy laughter. A sound you'd hear at a carnival or at a playground.

Adelaide opened her eyes to see a little girl in a deep green frock running through the woods. She was holding a yellow ballon in her hands as she twisted through the trees delightfully. The trees seemed to sway with her. Adelaide watched her carefully. Who was she?

The girl seemed to realize that someone was there and at the sight of Adelaide, her entire face lit up with happiness and she began to run towards her. Adelaide got off the swing, watching this strangle little girl running towards her. She ran down the small, paved path and crossed the small bridge, crashing into Adelaide and hugging her knees.

Adelaide looked down at her curiously. Who was this girl? And why did she look so happy to see her?

"I knew you would come back for me," she breathed.
