In My Dreams
This is a retelling of a dream as written in Flora's journal. So, it's a little disjointed, in places, as dreams tend to be.--Cindy
A ball; the stuck up snobbery of fine dresses, men in their best and
talk of small insignificant things. This isn’t my home; it’s some
place I don’t recognize. Yet, I am upstairs getting ready another
estate; perhaps a friends, doesn’t matter. The final touches, dress
on hair done. I find a mirror all in my reflection I’m Eldren. No
amulet just what was; the way I used to be all the time.
Eldren the ones who everyone sees as beautiful. Fine features,
playing into a beautifully formed being. Men would look, woman as
well. Some envious of the way I look others just to take it in. It
would seem snobbish but no, that’s not it, it’s only the truth. And
it’s not just me; Eldren just tend to have that effect on people.
I see a faint glimpse of something in the mirror, someone almost human
looking. I go back to looking Eldren; I tend to look Eldren in my
dreams. I feel still Eldren but another look in the mirror and
another glimpse; this time of pointed ears and whiskers. Then it is
gone I go back to looking Eldren.
I stand as a knock comes to the door; Bertram is there. He first
positions his arm so I can take it, we will come down the stairs into
the ballroom and make an entrance. Then though he stops; looking at
me confused, pointing towards the mirror. I look, my reflection
cruelly turning from Eldren to cat like to human. Then the human
fades quickly and it’s just back and forth from Eldren to cat like. I
awake with a gasp as if it was a horrible nightmare.
Truth is it is; I am technically no longer Eldren because of the
curse. I am more cat like. The amulet only hiding the truth. I
don’t belong as an Eldren any longer but I don’t belong with the cat
like people because I wasn’t born this way. I don’t belong with
either; I’m not really either Eldren or catlike at this point but I am
also both. I would give back all the money just to get back some
sense of where I belong and take away this curse.
