บท 3: Letting go of the dream
"Mo...Mother, you're here? You're alive?" Azalea said, hugging her mother tightly. "What has gotten into you?" Azalea's mother asked. Azalea let go of her mother and looked down. "I thought I saw. Well, I thought you were killed." Azalea said, a tear falling to the ground. "Killed?!" Penelope asked. "Yes, a man was standing above you; he hit me over the head," Azalea explained. Penelope sighed. "Your fantasies are taking over your mind again ..... Stop daydreaming, Azalea." Her mother said. Azalea looked up at her mother. "I. I am sorry, mother, it won't happen again." She exclaimed.
Naomi put her hand on Azalea's shoulder and sighed, "You are always getting yourself into trouble." She said. Penelope chucked in agreement. Azalea rolled her eyes and then asked, "I left your house hours ago. Why are you here, Naomi?". Naomi sighed. "Trouble at home." She answered. "You can stay in my room tonight!" Azalea said. Penelope smiled at Azalea and then proceeded to walk upstairs to her room. "Don't stay up too late!!" She yelled down to them. "Alright, mom!" Azalea yelled up. Azalea and Naomi went into Azalea's bedroom. "I will make a bed on the floor; you can sleep in my bed tonight," Azalea said to Naomi. Naomi smiled and then climbed into bed. "Goodnight, Azalea," Naomi said, turning over.
Azalea lay on the floor staring at the ceiling. "My 17th birthday is coming up," Azalea whispered to herself. Azalea thought about the man she saw before she collapsed, and the man she believed hit her over the head. "What if they are the same person?" She asked herself. "What was his name again?" She whispered, thinking to herself. "Ry? River? RYDER!" She said, covering her mouth so as not to be loud again. Azalea questioned whether her mother and Naomi were right about it being a dream or if it happened, but it wasn't her mother she saw. "What if someone was hurt?" Azalea said to herself. "Why are you talking to yourself?" Naomi groaned, turning over to face Azalea. Azalea looked up at Naomi. "I was talking to myself. I will go to sleep now," She responded. Azalea turned over, covering her face, and then fell asleep.
Azalea woke to the sun shining on her face. "So bright," she groaned, trying to cover it with her hand. Naomi stood over Azalea, looking down at her. "Azalea, it's 9 am. Come on; it's time to do stuff." She said. Azalea turned and looked up at Naomi. "Fine, just let me get dressed." Azalea got up and walked to the dresser. She grabbed a black hoodie and threw it on. Naomi and Azalea walked downstairs into the kitchen. The smell of bacon and waffles filled the air. "Good morning, girls," Penelope said. "Good morning!" They both responded. "So, what are your plans today?" Penelope asked. As Azalea is about to reply, she starts zoning out, and images of the piercing red eyes she saw twice now appear in her head. Azalea starts hearing a muffled voice calling her name. "AZALEA?" Penelope shouts. Azalea snaps out of it and looks up at her mother. "What happened?" She asked. "You were in your head again," Penelope said. Penelope walked back over to the stove and continued cooking.
Azalea and Naomi finish eating and then walk over to the door. "We are headed out now," Azalea says. They close the door behind them and start walking towards the dark hill. "Naomi, we are not supposed to go to the dark hill, you know that," Azalea says. Naomi chuckles and continues to walk towards the hill. "NAOMI, STOP!" Azalea says, calling out to her. Naomi turns at Azalea and then keeps walking till she reaches the path leading into the dark zone. Azalea catches up to Naomi, entirely out of breath. "Please, Naomi, I will get into trouble again!" Azalea says. Naomi looks at Azalea and grins, "Why don't you want to have fun anymore? Come on, Azalea, we can see what is up there!" Naomi points to the sign that reads [No trespassing violators will be caught]. Azalea looks at Naomi with fear in her eyes. "When I went to the town's border, I was scolded. This is going to get us both in trouble, Naomi!" Naomi looks at Azalea and starts walking up the path past the sign.
