The Dream

— Rose's Point of View —

Sister Riona and I have planned that we're going to leave and travel in four days time, since we still need to prepare for our travel, create armors and weapons in case something bad happens on our travel. We decided to stay at Aexis' apartment. It's almost midnight on the day that we were first attack and I kept thinking as I sat by the window... where are my real parents?

I kept thinking of a reason why would you abandon someone when you can protect it with your life? All I thought and ever think ever since I had been opened to the reality of life is that... if you love someone or something, you'll fight for it, you'll protect it.

I let out a sigh, and thought of a wish, that if ever I get to see my parents again, or to find our what happened to them. I wish there was a way I could tell them that I don't hate them, nor I do not have any anger inside me. Although I want answers, things are still blurry to myself.

With a deep breath, I left and went to bed. My eyes settled on the ceiling before I fell into deep slumber.

"Rose..." I heard someone's voice, speaking to me like a soft lullaby by a mother. I felt a warm touch on my cheeks that forced me to slowly open my eyes.

The moment my eyes became clear, I saw a beautiful right in front of me, her hair was long and some strands are cascading by her rosy cheeks. Her light blue eyes gazed into mine. And a smile curved onto her lips.

"Only if you know how much I want to be with you, my dear daughter." She said and then she held my hand.

I wanted to speak, and ask her of who she was. And if she is my mother, how can she be here. How is it possible that she looks so powerful. She looks like a goddess, and she was wearing a white cloak with golden vine stitched all around the cape of her cloak.

"We do not yet hold the time of explaining what's the truth of what have happened years ago, and I can't risk telling you the truth yet. Because we are still in grave danger and we are walking on a tightrope, do not worry, if the perfect time comes, I will do so to come to you as fast as I can. And tell you, how much I love you. How much I want to be beside you physically." She uttered, tears slowly falling from her eyes.

"I am so proud of you, Rose. You have done well, be careful." She said and then she turned into bubbles before my eyes once again turned into darkness and woke me up from my own deep slumber.

I was catching my breath when I noticed that it was already morning and it was just a dream.

Was it just really a dream...

I took a deep breath before fixing the bed, as I do so my mind can't erase the image of the beautiful lady in my dream last night. I didn't even get to know what her name is. I wasn't given a chance to atleast hug her.

After I fixed my bed, I sat on its soft mattress and started crying out of nowhere. Mixed emotions filled my lungs as my hand started shaking. How will I be able to continue being strong when I don't know where I can get my source of strength?

A few minutes of crying, I went out of bed and went to the kitchen where I found sister Riona and Aexis eating breakfast.

"Hey Rosa! Come here, let's eat breakfast it's already late!" She exclaimed as she was pouring orange juice on her glass.

I smiled at her and went to the table and sat between the two of them, and as I sat on the table, they smiled at me both before speaking together, "We are going shopping!!" The two exclaimed which made my eyes pop. On the other hand they laughed their heart out making me shook my head.
