When you close your eyes to sleep at night…what do you see?
Most see only darkness at first, but soon after that darkness become light, from that it all becomes a dream, however, not all are heavenly…no some can be as dark as hell itself but who can say what are dreams may come or of those who have them.
“Why do you not sleep at night”, he would ask me when I was young. I would reply “Because I fear what I see is more then a dream is real.” “How silly of you to think so you know that can not be true”. I remember that night so clearly even if it was 5 years ago…I remember how the moon was full, the light shined down threw the large glass windows making the whole room seem to glow. Looking back, it was just like a scene for a movie, but unlike the movie this ended very differently… There were no smiles, no warm kisses, and no happily ever after. As I look up at him, his warm expression went to one of shock, as did mine when I heard the gun shoots fired. “Emmanuel!” As his name left my lips as he fell to the floor. “ Run away Chantal, before...” After those words I could no longer hear any sound, the world around me be came silent as the snow falling to the earth…
Miss Hagiwara?
Yes?
We will be arriving soon.
I see thank you, Rutherford.
Now I return to this place, where the memories of that night still keep me awake…I wonder if I’ll go mad soon. They tell me I look as if I am no longer of the earth, the dark circles under my eyes from sleepless nights, skin that looks of porcelain due to lack of sunlight, and my hair which was once warm chestnut when I was young has now become dark… all very different from my sisters who are of golden skin and hair. They tell me I am the only one to inherit my grandfather’s blood, for he to look as I did when he was young….
Chantal, aren't you excited about comeing back here?
Honestly mother, i could care less.
Oh, but you use to love it here...don't you remember how you would always want to come here in the winter.
That was only because...
Look we're here.
