Chapter 3

"Mia, wake up it's almost time."

"Time?"

"Yes silly you said that you wanted to see the beautiful sunrise remember?"

"Oh that's right okay I am up let's go do this sunrise watching thing."

I ran with Caroline following behind me.

I stopped at the front door.

"Caroline, you're going to have to show me the way I have no idea where I am going."

"Yep I know follow me."

We got to the beach.

"You can sit if you want."

"It's going to be mind blowing and breathtaking and you might fall."

"That's why you should sit when you are watching it."

"Okay that sounds like a plan I wouldn't want to get hurt again."

The sun started to rise.

"It's so beautiful."

"WOW!"

"Can I touch it?"

"No silly you could get burned if you touch it and also it's a really long way away."

"Oh that's too bad."

"Well lets head back to the house to have some breakfast."

"Mia?"

Where did she go?

Looking around I spot her walking toward the water.

"Mia!!"

Why can't she hear me?

I started running toward the house yelling for Mom and Dad.

"What's wrong Caroline?"

"Mom, Dad it's Mia, she needs help now before it's too late."

"What?"

"I am coming with you."

"The more people there are, the better."

They followed me to the beach.

"Look toward the beach."

"She can't hear me and she just keeps walking toward the water."

"Mia!"

I ran toward the water.

Grabbing Mia's hand she turned around with fear in her eye's

"Let's go inside and get you dried off okay?"

"Yea."

What in the world just happened?

I can't remember it's all a big fuzzy blur and that voice that I heard, who was it?

It was really familiar to me.

"Mia let me take you to my room and get you dried off and talk about what just happened okay?"

"Yea."

I followed Emily to her room and she sat me down on her bed.

"Tell me what happened."

"I wish I could but I don't even remember myself."

"Everything was just a big blur and nothing else."

"I am very scared."

"What if it happens again and no one is around to help me?"

"No don't think about it, it's okay there will always be someone around okay?"

"How did I end up in the water anyway?"

"Caroline said that you needed help so we followed her to you and you were in a trance of some sort and couldn't hear anyone so Lucas ran to you and helped you."

"Why were you outside this morning anyway?"

"Oh Caroline wanted to see the sunrise and I really did too."

"You see I was never able to see the sun."

"The only light I could see was a light bulb."

"Mia honey, did you know the beach you and Caroline went to see the sunrise?"

"That's where Caroline found you."

"What?"

"Really?"

"Yes I am afraid so honey."

Lucas walked in.

"The sunrise was still so beautiful."

"I am glad Caroline took you this morning and she got me up to see it to the day that she found you."

"Anyway Dad said breakfast is ready."

"Yes I am hungry let's go."

We walked into the kitchen and prayed.

"That was so delicious thank you Dan."

"Your welcome I am glad you liked it."

"So Mia why did you walk toward the water this morning when we were watching the sunrise?"

"I don't know."

I really don't know what to tell them about the voice.

They might think I am crazy.

"Your Mom was telling me that you found me on that beach we were on this morning."

"Yep."

"Do you think there's any kind of connection?"

"I don't know."

"What do you think Lucas?"

"I have no idea either, sorry."

"You were probably day dreaming."

"That's okay I was just curious, that's all."

"Your right I was probably just daydreaming."

"Would it be okay if I went for a walk to clear my head of everything that has just happened?"

"Yea that would be fine just don't walk by the beach or by the water."

I am just still wondering how one minute she has a tail and the next she doesn't.

It just doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.

I know Lucas told me not to go on the beach or by the water but I need answers to all the questions in my head.

I walked on the beach toward the water I put my feet in and the water feels so happy and warm.

I looked down and saw a bottle in the sand.

I picked it up and there is a flower and a note in the bottle.

Wow it's so beautiful.

This would look amazing on the table in the room I am staying in.

I got home from my walk, went into my bedroom and put the bottle down.

The rose in the bottle.

"Hi Mia your back."

"Lucas told me that you went for a walk."

"Wow what is that?"

"I found it when I was out."

"I think it's some kind of decoration that someone lost."

"I really like the rose."

"It's so beautiful."

"I know right."

"By the way what does the note in the bottle say?"

"I don't think it has anything written on it."

"I think it's just a decoration."

"Oh."

"What is your plan for the rest of the day?"

"I want to take a nap right now, but after that I have no idea."

"Okay."

"We can play when you wake up."

"Okay that sounds like fun."

I fell asleep as soon as I laid down.

I am not sure how long I was asleep but it feels so good to sleep.

Just being able to feel free from everyday things.

"Mia it's bedtime sweetie wake up so you can take a shower."

"What?"

"Is it really that late how long have I been sleeping for and how come no one woke me up earlier?"

"You have been asleep for eight hours and no one wanted to wake you up, you were just so tired."

"That's a long time to sleep during the day."

"Well I will get up and take a shower and get ready for bed."

"By the way where is the bathroom?"

Emily showed me the way I shut the door behind me.

"Mom is Mia going to be okay?"

"She slept and she's going to sleep more after she's done with her shower."

"She didn't even get time to play with me today."

"She is just tired."

"She has had a big day, that's all."

"She will play when she feels better."

I picked Caroline up and walked her to her bed.

"Now let's get some sleep and in the morning you can hang out with Mia if she wants to."

"Yea that sounds like fun."

My parents tucked me in.

"Night, night love you both so much."

"Your Mom and I love you so much sweetie sleep well."

We kissed her head.

"Hey Dan I am going to see how Mia is and I will be right back."

"Okay honey see you soon."

I walked down to Mia's room.

"Hey sweetie how are you feeling?"

I looked around to see that she was already asleep.
