Chapter 7


    Carson looked at me confused and then his eyes shed as he remembered what I did in gym ss.


    He stepped closer to me threateningly. “You don’t have the guts to try that.” He said.


    By this point. he was close to me. I step back, but my back hit the lockers behind me. He raised his


    hands and instinctively, I shrunk back and used my hands to cover my face.


    After awaiting the hit that never came, I slowly removed my hands and looked at Carson. He looked


    back at me with confusion in his bright blue eyes.


    “Ka?” He asked gently. To be honestly, I was surprised he knew my name. I didn’t think he was


    paying attention when I said it earlier.


    I leaned off the lockers and cleared my throat. I tried to look anywhere and at anything, but him. It was


    difficult because his searching eyes never left mine. Concern entered his eyes to mix with confusion.


    “Did you think I was going to hit you?” He asked quietly.


    “Yeah,” Iugh nervously. “After all, you did advance on me.” I tried to y it off as nothing, but he


    didn’t look convinced.


    “Contrary to your belief, I don’t hit girls.” He stated.


    “Well, that’s good to hear. Um…I really have to get going.” I said. I turned away from him quickly before


    he could say anything else.


    I looked around at him onest time and saw that he was still standing where I left him, staring at me


    with a nk expression. He looked to be deep in thought.


    Oh God. Why had I done that? Thest thing I need is for him to begin to specte about me. No one


    can find out about what is happening at my home. No one. Or else An would kill me.


    Ka, what have you done?


    I was running.


    I didn’t know who or what I was running from, but I knew I was afraid.


    I was in a forest surrounded by tall trees and no matter how far I run, it seems like I can never reach


    the opening. I also felt like I wasn’t moving at all, even though the chilly night air whipped at my skin. I


    felt tears streaming down my cheeks and my vision became blurry. I couldn’t see where I was going


    anymore, but I kept running.


    The sky was dark and the clouds were dark and loPming. I started to hear voices all around me. I


    couldn’t make out what they were saying, but the voices sounded cold, angry and terrifying. I finally


    saw a bright light ahead of me and tried to increase my speed. I didn’t want to be in the forest anymore.

    I didn’t feel safe here.


    As soon as I neared the light, I closed my eyes from its intense re. As soon as I closed my eyes, I


    felt my feet gave out from under me. I looked down and realized that I was falling. I waved my hands


    and cried out as I fell. My body felt heavy and it seems as though I was falling from a far distance,


    because I could not see the ground.


    I don’t know what happened next, but I was soon in a flower garden. One minute I was falling and the


    next I was here. Like the flip of a switch. This ce was warmer and not terrifying. Beautiful flowers of


    different colours and sizes were everywhere. There were so many different flowers; magnolias, lilies,


    daises, roses, sunflowers, orchids, marigolds and daffodils. This ce reminded me of my mother’s


    garden, because she used to nt some of these flowers.


    I was admiring the variety of flowers, when I saw ady a few distance in front of me. She was wearing


    a white dress and her brown hair that was so simr to mine, glowed and blew in the wind. When I


    looked closely, I saw that it was my mother.


    “Mom!” I shouted as I run to her. I couldn’t believe she was really here_ I flung my arms around her


    when I reached her. She hugged me back. “I miss you so much, Morn.”


    She then pulled away from me and wiped the tears from my face. “Why are you crying my darling?”


    “Please don’t leave me again, Morn. Please don’t.” I pleaded.


    “I’m not going anywhere. I’m here now my angel. Shh, stop crying.” She coed, running her hands


    through my hair.


    “Please don’t leave me, Mom. Please don’t leave me with him.” I kept repeating through my tears. I


    hugged her again tightly, while sheforted me with her soft words. She smelled just like she used


    to.


    All of a sudden, I didn’t feel her anymore. I looked up and found that I was not hugging anyone. She


    was gone. I looked around frantic.


    “Morn!” I shouted, as I spun this way and that_ -Mornmy*.-


    “Mommy.” I whispered as I jolt awake. I cleared my mind and my eyes as I tee to ce where I was_ I


    realized that I was in my room,ying on my bed. I rest my head back on my


    dreamt about my mother again. Hooked up at the ceiling and


    bedside, I realized that I waste.


    Jumping out of my bed, I run to the bathroom to have a quick shower a_r__± get rEiii; f2,r schooL


    “Woah, what happened to your Kevin asked me as I slipped into my history cl a minute before the bell


    rang. I was breathing heavily from running all the way to schcFoL


    “I slept through my rm. Had to run here. I panted through heavy breath_ “I can see that. You look a


    little wild and frag7led.” Kevin observed. chuckling.


    “Don’t start with me, Key.” I replied. Kevin justugh_ All I could do was re at him as our teacher


    entered the ssroom.
