Orphan | I Felt Like Talking

I had the weirdest dream that my mother and I had to walk through a hay field in a knee high flood to go to church on Sunday. A few miles in, I looked at my mother and she’s glowing yellow.. “Mom, why do you look like that?” I asked. Mother replied, “Hush! Nobody can see it but you! I’m hiding.” She looked beautiful with big braided blonde hair and gold yellow skin.
Almost immediately after that, soldiers dressed in metal armor rode up to us on horses and grabbed my mother and I. Malaya and my mothers dog were with us so they grabbed them too. “You fools!” A soldier shouted, “These are not humans, they belong to the immortals!” I began to cry as we rode off into the distance..
A few hours later we arrived at a huge mansion on the beach. There were a few women outside with glowing yellow eyes greeting us along with a very tall, prince like, devilishly handsome man with long black hair. He ordered the guards to take us inside and they began to drag us out of the paddy wagon (but more old school like a prisoner wagon/cage). My mother yelled for them to at least let the dogs go and demanded someone come take them for us.. My aunt and uncle (who I don’t really know in the dream) came and took them from us.. Malaya was hesitant to leave my side so I began to cry. “Go on.. It’s okay Malaya.. I love you! It’s okay Malaya.. Go on!”
I yelled to the Prince, “What do you want with us? I am going to kill you!” “Oh,” he said, “I will kill you first!” “Then DO IT!” I replied, as the soldier drug me off to show me to my chambers. Confused, scared and heartbroken I sat on my floor and cried. An Asian maid came in and gave me some crackers & wine and told me not to be afraid, that this was best for me. I stared at her confused and sipped the red rose wine.
I decided to walk around the mansion and find more wine. I was wearing a baby pink, long, nightgown that flowed behind me when I walked. My mother was standing in the kitchen and looked plump and old.. I said, “Mom, how do you do that?” “REALLY?!” She hollered as she snapped her fingers and changed back into the gold yellow skin. “You ruined it!” She said as she stormed out of the kitchen.
I found more wine and went to sit outside by the beach. It was quiet, I felt a little better; at peace. The prince snuck up behind me and startled me.. He asked how I was doing.. “What do you care?” I replied . “I think you’re lovely and i apologize for yelling at you earlier,” he said. “I’m not sorry. Why did you take me here?” “Isn’t it beautiful?” He asked as he kicked the sand with his boot.. “I don’t know what I am.. The soldiers..your guards.. They said we are immortal?!?” He smirked, ” Immortal.. Ahh yes! You’ll find everything out shortly.” He sat down next to me and held my hand which I hesitantly allowed. We spoke for a long time. It felt like he was a magnet to me. I felt so strange because I liked him but didn’t know why..
Later that night after I left him on the beach he wound up in the kitchen again. He poured me a glass of wine and asked to accompany him on the beach. “Maybe,” I said and walked away.. I must’ve fallen asleep because I woke up to the sun beating on my face and my wine glass on my nightstand. I anxiously ran out of the room into the kitchen and asked the maid what time it was. “Good morning dear! It’s 9:30am!” I thought the Prince would have my head for not meeting him.
I went to the powder room to wash my face and my mother appeared behind me. “Look in the mirror, what do you see?” She said, holding my shoulders with a fierce grip. “Umm… I see me..normal, me. Why do you keep changing the way you look?” “It’s a disguise, daughter. You can do it too! I’m sorry I never taught you anything.. I was trying to keep you safe. Trying to be a good mother. I love you,” she said and walked away. I stared at myself hard into the mirror, “I just don’t understand!” I whispered.. My eyes immediately turned into a glowing yellow, “AHH! Wow! Oh my gosh! Mom!” I ran all around the mansion and couldn’t find her. I ran outside into the field to look down and see the prince standing alone on the beach. I sat down and just watched him.. It didn’t take him long to realize I was in his presence. He turned around and waved, “it took you long enough!” He said smiling as he walked up the hill towards me. “I.. I’m really sorry sir.. I was really tired,” I said shyly.. “Oh.. Your eyes.. Beautiful. You’re changing!” He exclaimed happily. “You can see them?!” “Your eyes.. Umm yes, is it uncommon to be able to see people’s eyes?” He replied jokingly. “Ugh! You know what I mean! The color?! It’s weird,” I paused and looked away. “It isn’t weird. You will see. Just stay with me and I will teach you everything you need to know.” He said, “Try this,” he grabbed a pebble and chunked it at me. “My arm flung up and grabbed it quickly. “Impressive,” he said with a smirk and walked away.
The two women with yellow eyes came up from behind me with a bow and arrow. They told me not to say a peep and pulled the arrow back and aimed it at the prince. I couldn’t just keep quiet, I had to save him! “MOVE!” I yelled as I ran towards him. The arrow missed him by an inch. He smiled and somehow went from where we were standing to where the women were and had them pinned up to the wall by their throats. “Don’t play with me today,” he said as he set them down. They scurried inside giggling. “They like to play, ” he said. “I thought they were going to kill you!! I couldn’t let it happen!” I said in a rush.. “Don’t you remember darling? We are immortal..” He leaned in and kissed me on the forehead..
Then I woke up! 😊 I should really write down my dreams more!
