CHAPTER SIX

"Guys! Wake up! It's time to go hiking!" Kristen yelled when she entered our room. She was like our living alarm clock. Me and Almira just yawned then went back to sleep. "Come on! Get up! Get dressed! The sun won't wait for us." She added.

"Okay, i'm up." Almira said while stretching and still yawning.

"Five more minutes." I requested to Kristen but she just pulled me up the bed. "Ughh, okay, okay." defeated, i got up the bed and started walking to the bathroom slowly like a zombie.

When me and Almira are ready, we then went down to see everyone else. Kristen's mom motioned us to join them on their breakfast. Josh was also there. He looked so excited and no trace of being sleepy at all. We just had a light breakfast since we're going to hike up.

When everyone's ready, we went out the house and started walking to the mountain. Even if it's our first time (except Kristen, of course) it's not that tricky at all. We enjoyed the cool breeze and the birds humming around. When we were on top of the mountain, we waited for the sunrise. The view's perfect. Although we are not on the tallest mountain, it seems like we are on the top of the world. After a few minutes, the sun started to rise making it's rays light up the dark forest on the foot of the mountains. It's so spectacular. We enjoyed the moment when suddenly my phone rang. Mom is calling.

"Hi mom! Good morning!" I greeted her.

"Oh, good morning, honey. I've been calling you since yesterday but you can't be reached. Is there a signal problem there?" Mom asked.

"Well, maybe." I looked at my phone's signal and it's strong and full. I haven't received any messages since yesterday. Maybe we have to go to a higher place to have a strong signal, just like this mountain. We just talked for a while before we decided to go down.

"Dad! Let's go to the lake down there." Kristen told her father.

"The lake is frozen right now. You can't go fishing there." Her father told her sarcastically.

"I know, it's winter, okay. I just wanna visit our tree house there." She pouted while saying it.

"Okay, it's still early anyway." He said. Then we started walking down the mountain. Kristen was so excited while she was describing the place. It seems nice, though.

"Here we are!" Kristen exclaimed. "I know it doesn't look nice since it's winter. I hope it's summer but i wish you guys will like this place. And oh, the tree house is there!" She added while pointing at the tree.

I take a look around suddenly, i felt nervous about the place. It seemed so familiar. I looked at the left side and I've seen a bush. Wait. That's it. I stared at the lake and.. that's it! It was in my dream. I froze in my position while realizing it. What does this mean?
