Far Away From Home

Far Away From Home: Chapter 2

It was quite terrifying. The ground was muddy, dead worms, alive worms, beetles and even a birds corpse was laying on the ground. The grass was flattened and the roses were white. I truly did not want to do this at all but what step-mother says must be done.

I took a plastic bag from the door handle and put on garden gloves. I quickly ran around and picked up the disgusting dead things. I was losing hope.

A few hours later the garden was still ugly. I sobbed softly and fell down. I'll never get done!! I sung my moms song to help me feel better....

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I looked around me and the garden started to grow lavender, the dead things lifted up and bursted into butterflies all kinds of colors. My necklace glowed bright pink.

I smiled and sung it again.

The necklace glowed even brighter and my worn out dress slowly transformed into a white simple dress but it was beautiful with straps. I smiled lightly and a group of butterflies flew over then sat on my transforming into accessories. Even earrings! I was so satisfied and looked around.

The bushes of red, white and black roses had butterflies. It was truly a sighting. I got up and found a glass shard then looked at myself.

My eyelashes was a bit longer and curled. My cheeks had butterfly prints and sparkled in the light.

This necklace would come in handy... I got up and dusted myself off then out of the garden doors. Step-mother wasn't here in the kitchen so I listened for her rambling but nothing. She must've been gone. I laughed "Oh mother is this a dream? I can be free for the first time in forver!".

I ran to my room and danced. I could dance well really just ballet... I took out the radio from under my bed and played the same song (well the only song I could play) Sugar Plum Fairies. I spent around and smiled letting my dress flow with me.

The music slowed down Abigail danced slower and the step-mother approached the door slowly. Everything moved in slow-motion.

A white rabbit with a black waist coat came to the garden and checked his pocket watch quickly and looked around. The rabbit hesitatingly ate the grass and ran away. As he ran away a blue caterpillar lay against a green plant lazily.

We welcome you back Alice.
