“Young one...come closer....” A mysterious voice called out from the darkness to a young girl, whose face and body was concealed by a black cloak. “Who...are you? And what do you want?” The girl replied to the voice. She looked around but saw no one. The voice had not replied. “H-hello?” “Come closer and reveal yourself to me.” The voice called out again, but in a deeper and stronger tone. “How can I come closer if I don’t even know where you are?” The girl replied while putting her hands on her hips. She waited for a reply, but didn’t receive one. She folded her arms and waited a few more minutes. “Fine...I’m leaving.” “Don’t go!” The voice yelled at the young girl. The girl screamed in pain as the voice called out to her. She fell down on her knees with her arms over her head. She didn’t know why it had caused her so much pain...but she knew that the voice did it on purpose. “What do you want?” She yelled while getting up. She ran around the room looking for a face, body, hand, leg, foot, even a strand of hair would do, but found nothing. “Just take off the hood and everything will be all right...” The voice faded, as well as her vision. ***** “Mylachia! Time to get up!” That was the first thing the girl had heard. “Mylachia!” Oh, I don’t want to get up. “Just five more minutes!” Mylachia replied to the familiar voice. “No, get up now! Some one’s here to see you!” The girl opened her eyes once she heard this. She revealed beautiful green eyes with little specks of blue. She slowly got up and sat on her bed. She fell silent and looked down at her pale feet. “Mylachia, are you up?” Mylachia ran her fingers through her long, wavy, orange hair. “Yes ma! I’ll be down in a few minutes!” She turned her head towards the window and looked outside to see a red bicycle parked on their driveway. Yes, he is here! She quickly got out bed and ran to her closet. What to wear...what to wear... she thought to herself as she looked through her clothes. After a couple minutes of scanning through her clothing, she finally picked a couple of things. The first item was a red tanktop that was form-fitting. She had also chosen black jeans and her white sneakers. She looked into her mirror to see how she looked. I look good. After a couple of minutes of studying herself in the mirror, she heard her mother call once again. “Mylachia!” “Oh, right...Coming!” She called back. She ran out of her room and down the stairs into the kitchen. “Hey, what’s for breakfast?” She asked her mother who was washing the dishes. “Oh...well,” she said while wiping her hands on her apron, “cold eggs and bacon, just the way you like them!’ She glared at Mylachia and continued to wash the dishes. “Oh, and Devyn’s here.” She shifted her head towards the living room. Mylachia noticed a boy with shaggy brown sitting on the couch. “Mind if I...skip breakfast?” Mylachia tried to tiptoe into the next room but was confronted by her little brother Cedric. “What do you want, tweeb?” “I think he’s trying to help me out.” Her mother came over and kissed Cedric on the head. Go on outside Cedric. You have eaten breakfast.” The little boy grabbed his jacket and ran out the door. “As for you, young lady,” She stared at Mylachia. “You haven’t even looked at your food for more than a second. Now, go eat...you don’t have to eat a lot.” Mylchia groaned as she went to the kitchen table. She looked down at her food and then back at her mom, who gave her the ‘look of despair’, as she liked to call it. She ate one spoonful and got up. “And where do you think you’re going?” Her mother followed Mylachia with her hands on her hips. “You said I didn’t have to eat a lot.” She replied as she walked into the living room. “Hi Devyn.” She said as she sat next to him. “Hey,” he said as he looked at her. “What’s up?” “Fine, Mylachia, you know what...just go...you’re right, I did say that. Now go, before I change my mind.” Her mother put her hands on the back of the chair and looked down as if she was deep in thought. “We’d better go...” Mylachia whispered to Devyn. “She tends to change her mind quickly.” “Gotcha!” They quickly got up and ran out the door. Once outside Devyn looked at Mylachia. “So, what do you want to do today? Go to the beach....go to the mall...explore the woods, maybe a couple of caves...what?” He nudged Mylachia on the shoulder. She didn’t respond. “Hey, what’s up...you usually bolt up and say ‘To the mall’. I think we just made a break-though! We have to tell the world!” He looked back at her with a big grin on his face, only to realize that she was not amused. “No really, what’s up?” She looked out towards the ocean and bit her lip. “Devyn,” She closed her eyes before continuing her statement. “Do you...think it’s possible...for someone to contact you in your dreams?” _________________________________ Well, what do you think....should I continue or stop?
