Weird Dreams #5
May snorted but I wasn’t sure what was funny about that, I was serious. Immy ran up with both her dads who studied me too. I was the freak show today, I guess. Yay me. The song was so sad I wanted to curl up in a ball.
Immy slammed into me saying, “Oh thank god you’re alright.
” The cop looked at her dad, Matt, and said, “This student says she fought them off with a lacrosse stick. The were wolves with rabies.” I frowned, “You don’t have to say it like you don’t believe me.
Their eyes were red, something is clearly wrong with them. ”
I added, “As far as my weapon, I didn’t think you’d know it was called a crosse.
So, I called it a lacrosse stick. Ok? I hit them with it and then one of them turned on the others.
Three of limped off before the other one dragged them.
I’m pretty sure they are dead over there.
Tests need to be run on them. Then you’ll know they have rabies or something, but it’s definitely something. ”
Matt asked, “One of them turned on the others?” I nodded, “Yeah, then the rest ran off to get away from that one.” Matt frowned. The police officer said, “So, that’s why they ran. One turned on them.” I frowned, “I hit several of them before that happened.”
I also made it happen, somehow. I was pretty sure of that anyway.
Hopefully, Isla didn’t tell them that. The police officer asked me, “What aren’t you saying?
” I snorted, “That Lisa Kipner is a psychotic whack job who locked me in a supply closet hoping I would freeze to death after she dumped water on me.”
I waved my arm, “She’s a hairs breath away from being a murderer.
I’m pretty sure locking me in the closet hoping I froze to death makes her an attempted murderer.
Then she left her little sister, WHOM SHE HAS THREATENED, to die.
Seems odd but I don’t have a badge to investigate such things. I just want to go home.”
I burst into tears. Immy’s other dad, Ted, said, “I’ll take Katie and Immy to Katie’s apartment. This girl has clearly been traumatized.” The police officer said, “I understand that, but we need to know what happened.”
I said, “I told you what happened. Lisa threatened to beat her sister, then wolves MAGICALLY showed up to try and off the two people Lisa can’t control anymore.
Oh, and she tried to kill me because I went a date with her ex.
Yet here you stand saying you don’t know what happened.
Might I suggest speaking with that duplicitous psychopath! ”
Immy snickered out a laugh. Matt cleared his throat, “Katie did give you her statement and she’s a minor without a parent or guardian present.” The police officer countered, “We could call her parents.” I didn’t want to deal with my mother.
I gave him a thumbs up sarcastically saying, “Best of luck with that. Truly, let me know if you find my mother’s number.” Immy jumped in, “Well, Daddy Ted said she’s done talking so she’s done. Right, Daddy Matt?”
Matt lovingly said, “Right, Immy.” The cop looked at Matt then practically bared his neck to him. What the hell? The cop agreed, “Of course. Go on, Miss Karlton. Thank you for your time.” Today was weird and people were actually crazy.
Immy and May guided me to the car. Ted offered, “If you give me your mom’s number, I’ll call her.
” I shrugged, “You’d probably rather speak to her boyfriend, but I don’t have her number.
Besides, my mom would just be annoyed. It’s best to leave her on her trip.
If she has to come home because of me, she might kill me. ” Ted frowned.
Immy said, “We’ve got her, dad.” Ted sighed, “As a parent, I’d want to know.” I laughed humorlessly, “My mom would not. I promise she’d only be mad at me and probably make us move again. That’s what she does when I embarrass her.”
Immy shrieked, “No, Katie can’t leave! Daddy Ted, please don’t call her mom!” Ted sighed, “Apparently, I can’t. Katie doesn’t have her number.” The further we got away from the school, from Keaton, the more despondent I became. I missed him. This was beyond pathetic.
Kenneth came out to the car and picked me up. I whispered, “I’m ok.” Kenneth disagreed, “You do not look ok, Miss Karlton.” He asked Ted, “Where is Keaton?” I started sobbing, “Probably with Lisa.” Everyone was startled by my clear overreaction I couldn’t stop.
May disagreed, “He’s not.” I asked, “How would you know that?” May faltered, “Uhh, Keith told me. Yeah, he texted me.” That actually made me feel a little better even though she clearly lied about how she found out.
I asked, “Does Keith know how Isla and Justin are? That wolf clawed up her leg. Do you think it will scar? Justin was unconscious so that’s bad.
” May said, “Isla and Justin are ok. Keaton’s dad knows a really good plastic surgeon who works at the hospital Chase owns.
I don’t think Isla will have a scar.” I whispered, “That’s good. ” They were both ok.
I fell asleep before I reached the door because it hurt too much to be awake. I was in a field when I woke up. I sighed, “Great. Am I going back to the ocean?” Wolves came running up. One wolf I was immediately drawn to.
I commented, “You’re pretty. I’ve never seen a wolf with green highlights. What am I saying? Of course I haven’t, this isn’t real but you’re pretty. The wolf was black with green stripes on the tips of her ears, and in a diamond around her head. She had two light stripes on her sides too.
Another wolf whined at me. I laughed, “Are you jealous I’m not petting you? I met some red eyed wolves today.” They both snarled. The big black one licked my face. I snorted, “Ok, maybe my dreams want me to get a dog so I’m not alone anymore. Although you’re huge, like dire wolf huge.”
The black and green wolf started convulsing. I screamed, “What’s wrong?” The black wolf was licking her face. She looked at me and the pain in her eyes made me cry harder. I asked, “How do I help you?” She slowly faded from view. I yelled, “Where did you go? Come back!”
Four more black wolves were joining the first black wolf. I whispered, “Wait, I know you.” They were in the field before with that red haired woman. Hissing sounded and I was flung backwards. They chased me, but I was gone into the abyss.
I questioned, “What is going on?” Then I heard a seriously evil chuckle. I turned around and came face to face with an older woman. She had gray hair and vacant eyes that reminded me of the people in the psych ward.
I don’t really blame myself for screaming. She looked like a villain in literally any movie made ever. Then she smiled, which was scarier, “Don’t be scared, child. You are interesting, aren’t you? You just keep trying to get around my magic. You and those inside you.”
I told her, “There’s no one inside me but me.
” The creepy lady tisked, “I do not agree with keeping you in the dark on such things. You were always to know. It’s why your little visits to those places and trying to get around my magic will remain between us, my dear.
” Seriously? Is she a movie villain? Like my own personal one?
I said, “Well, magic isn’t real, and neither is this.” The evil lady laughed, “It is. You’ll learn about that soon enough. Well, maybe not. I look forward to seeing which future unfolds for you. When you were first brought to me; I went to see a Seer afterwards about you.”
I snorted, “A Seer?” Her eyes flashed with danger, “Don’t interrupt me again child, or I’ll take your voice.
That would be quite comical.” Ok. Whatever.
I didn’t say anything. Silence enveloped us.
She smiled, “Better. You have two paths, and I am quite curious which you end up on. We see each other again either way. You won’t like me, but that’s ok. ”
I raised my hand. The Evil Lady snorted, “Speak child.” Well, she said she would take my voice if I did! Raising my hand seemed the way to go here. I asked, “What’s your name?” She smirked, “Valdoma.” I shrugged, “I don’t know you.”
Valdoma threw something on the floor then turned into a doctor I did know. I screamed and ran away. She was the one who dosed me in that place. Valdoma laughed, “I’ll let you go for now, child. When we meet again remember, I do find you interesting.”
I did not care what that woman found interesting. She smirked at me as I cried in pain while dosing me with those drugs. Valdoma obviously enjoyed my pain. Her interests were not something I wanted to know about.
I woke up screaming. Immy grabbed me, “Katie, hey! It was just a dream. Did you dream about the red eyed wolves?” Obviously, that's what I was going to say I was dreaming about. The actual dream was crazy.
So, I nodded while Immy rubbed my shoulders comforting me, “That was frightening, I’m sure.” I looked at my phone. I said, “Immy you need to go home, it’s late.” Immy argued, “I don’t want to leave you.” I told her, “I’m used to being alone.”
Immy hit my shoulder with hers, “Well, you’re not alone anymore. I’m here. So, you’re stuck with me. I’ve decided we are friends for life.” My friend smiled broadly then handed me an alcoholic drink and a slice of pizza. I snorted.
Several drinks later, my mind was loose, and I was depressed because I missed Keaton. Immy fell asleep while I stumbled into my computer room. I opened the laptop and signed into the email I had signed out of.
It was time to see if the mob family is still contacting me. It’s possible they lost interest in finding me. Everyone loses interest in me eventually. I’m just not that interesting. Though, in this instance that could work for me.
