Chapter 14

“He wants to see me again.” My heart sang as I twirled around my room, the arms of Jessie’s tuxedo jacket wrapped around my waist in a simulated embrace.

“Aurora?” My mom tapped at my door.

“Just a minute, Mom,” I called back, leaping to my closet and stashing the jacket inside.

“What are you doing in there?” she asked, once I’d opened the door.

“Uh... dancing?” I confessed.

“By yourself?” She glanced around my room. “You don’t even have any music on.”

“I know. I was just goofing around.”

“Okay...” Mom said, although I could tell she wasn’t fully satisfied with my answer. “You’ve been spending a lot of time in your room lately. Is everything all right?”

“Yeah. Fine,” I told her.

“Are you fighting with Blossom or something?” she pressed.

“No, not exactly fighting,” I said. “Blossom’s got a new boyfriend, so... you know how that goes.”

“Oh.” My mom bobbed her head in understanding. “Got it.”

As usual, I couldn’t sleep, so I took the notebook I’d been using as my dream journal and flipped to the back. There I started writing down everything Jessie had told me about his world. After about an hour, my eyelids started to droop, and I turned off the light.

I was in the forest again, but this time it was daylight, and I wasn’t frightened. Not at all. In fact, I was blissfully happy. Everything surrounding me was very green and lush. Birds were hopping around in the trees, and butterflies wafted past. I was with someone I adored, and he adored me. Our faces were so close together that, whenever I tried to look at him, I couldn’t see his whole face, I could only see his eyes. They were gray and beautiful, and they twinkled sometimes when he smiled. This time they were not filled with hate, but a much happier emotion. I wondered if it was love. Even though I wasn’t afraid, there was something unusual about the eyes. My dream shifted, and the eyes became distorted in a way I couldn’t quite figure out. The gray color was uncommon, that was for sure, but there was something else that was puzzling me. I began to focus on just one of his eyes, and it became larger and larger in a way that only makes sense in dreams, but still there was something odd. Finally, it came to me. Besides being magnified, his eye was inverted. I was somehow viewing it upside down. Then the dream shifted again, and everything went back to normal.

None of it made any sense to me, but I woke up in an excessively good mood. I quickly wrote down everything I could remember in my dream journal / vampire log and headed down for breakfast.

Mom looked up from her coffee as I entered the kitchen. “What have you got planned today?”

“I don’t know,” I told her as I hunted for cereal.

“I was thinking we could visit Grandma Gibson and then maybe do a bit of shopping.”

Mom had set a good trap. I actually wasn’t feeling up to a Grandma Gibson run, but the temptation to go shopping was strong.
