"Merry! Merry... Wake up" I opened my eyes to see an agitated Brielle. "What happened?" I asked her despite knowing the answer. "Sissy, you were screaming" Then all the events of the dream crashed inside my brain as I stared at her hopelessly. "Thank you Brie" I said as she handed me a glass of water. After I drank it, I placed my head on my hands and asked her, "What time is it?" "It's four in the morning" "Oh okay sorry dear... Go to sleep" I said as she lay on my bed and clutched onto me tightly. I didn't get an ounce of sleep after that tragic dream. I spotted my journal on my desk so I slowly loosened her grip on me as I stood up. Then I took my pen along with my journal and flipped through the pages.
Something dawned on me after I sat on my bed. I'd got this journal when I landed my foot in this city and these tragic dreams started on the very day I came to this place. "My god!" I thought after my incredible discovery. "Oh my God, Merry! Hats off sissy... You've got a great sense of humour" Brielle exclaimed. "Did I say it out loud?" I asked her and winced when she nodded her head. "Don't overthink sissy. Come, let's sleep" "Do you know that I'm..-" "Yeah" she said. "Mom used to say that you have sleeping troubles... so don't worry about it and I promise you that it'll be our little secret" she smiled. I smiled gratefully as I hugged her and quickly dozed back to my slumber.
"Sweetie! Wake up" "Mom!!" I said grudgingly. "Someone's there to meet you baby" she said as she opened the drapes to let the sunrays, blind my eyes. "Huh, nothing would stop me from sleeping" my mind retorted. I twisted and turned in my bed to find my other side empty. "What the..." I freaked out. "Where is Brie?" I panicked. "You lazy log! It's 12 now, my Sloth. She left by 11 and strictly told me to wake you up later cause you didn't sleep much last night" "Yeah..." I dragged as I wiped the sleep off my face. She raised her eyebrows in question. "Same old... same old" "Did they come back?" She asked me and turned her full attention to me.
"I don't know. But they aren't the same nightmares anymore" She sat next to me and patted my head. "Baby, don't worry. May be the change of the new place has brought in a lot of stress for you, I guess" she said. "But mum, I love it here" I said. She smiled and said, "Get ready fast and come down cause there's a visitor waiting for you" "Who is it?" "Hmm Phoenix? No, it's Felix I think" she said looking confused. "Oh! Okay mum... I had totally forgot about the project" I said as I got up. "It's okay and I'm going down now. Don't doze up baby, he's been waiting up for you since ages" I grimaced and said, "Kay mum" as I closed the door.
I picked up my clothes and showered up in five minutes. After that, I dried my hair and made it into a bun but it didn't turn out as expected so I made it into a high ponytail. Then, I wore my roll neck black jumper dress and skinny light blue jeans. I took a glance at myself and to be honest I looked hideous. The black circles under my eyes started to show up and I looked pale and malnourished. So I applied toner under my eyes as well as some Chapstick on my lips and made my way down the stairs. I went straight to the kitchen to fetch some food for my tummy and heard a nervous Felix in my living room. I chuckled and ate my favourite waffles with apple syrup.
Then I washed my plate and placed it in the dryer and made my way to the living room. My heart skipped a beat when my eyes met his lilac blue ones. He was charming when a small smile made it's way in his lips. I gasped when he winked at me as it made me melt on the inside. I quickly averted my eyes to my parents as I felt heat rise up in my face. "Good morning everyone" I said cheerfully. "Well it's noon right now" my dad responded sweetly as mum chuckled and Felix grinned. My parents are one of a kind cause no one would embarrass their child in front of her friend. "Daddy" I shrieked as a gust of wind knocked the air out of them. "Merida" my parents called out as I winked at them and said, "It's your fault"
As I turned to my right, I saw his baffled expression and slapped my face internally. Pip came running to me and started circling my feet. "Okay bye mum, we're leaving and I'm taking Pip" I said and waved to them, pulling Felix up and pushing him towards the door while Pip followed me out. "Be careful" my mum called out and dad continued, "Be home by 5" I attached the leash to Pip's collar and took my motorbike. I gave Felix, his helmet and roared my Harley to life.
"It's been 20 minutes since we came here and we haven't done any progress except for pulling these grasses out" I wailed to Felix. He chuckled and said, "You should give me ideas so that I can modify them" "Can you tell me my topic again?" I asked sheepishly. "It's about Greek Gods and their powers" "Okay" I said. "Where's Pip?" I asked him. "I placed her here a-........ My God!" he yelped. "What happened?" "I'm sorry, so sorry" he started apologizing and that's when it alarmed in my head. "Crap, it's okay..... Please, let's just find her" "But I'm so sorry Merida" he said with guilt. "It's okay. You go that way and I'll go here" I instructed him. Given the work, I headed my way. I felt sorry for Felix cause it wasn't his mistake.
While I was walking through the park, more like a forest, I caught a glimpse of someone's dark shadow behind me. I turned around thinking I would see Felix, to tell me that he had found Pip but surprisingly no one was there. I shook my head and started walking forward. "Am I going crazy?" I wondered as I wandered around. "Quinn," his melodic voice called out to me. I knew it in an instant that it was him cause my heart skipped a beat. My body usually responds to him but not this time, not until he gives me some valid reasons. I gave him my silent treatment by ignoring his tempting voice and started walking away. "Why are you here?" he insisted me with an authoritative tone. "Quinn talk to me!"
"Why?" I bursted out unable to tolerable my anger. The temperature changed and I smirked at myself knowing the reason. "Why are you doing this to me?" His beautiful face scrunched up in confusion. "Why are you disappearing on me?" All my pent up feelings and questions just took control of my anger and bursted out. "Yesterday, you magically vanished within a second" I paused for a while and then continued, "Don't even try to make an excuse for that. It's humanly impossible. This is not the first ti-" "I'm a spirit" he casually said.
I stared at him as my jaw dropped down. He simply smiled at me and said, "I wouldn't be opening my mouth in this mosquito infected place" I quickly shut my mouth and asked him, "You're joking right?" it barely escaped my mouth as a whisper. "About the mosquito part, then yes and about me being a spirit, no" My head felt numb and it started to spin faster. I had a big crush on a ghost? I HAD A BIG CRUSH ON A FREAKING GHOST!!?!! I'm mad.. I've definitely gone mad. I was engulfed by a sudden darkness which I gratefully invited it to escape the horrendous situation that I've gotten myself into....
