Violet

"Huh"

Sori gets up from the ground confused. There were new arrivals of people coming into town. Over 1000 years and not once have the villagers seen new people as the town had been far and secluded from the outside world.

"Move it!" Yelled a man with long beard and big broad shoulder. The whole town was gathered in the center as they watched these unknown people. Our leader whom we call Chief Nai arrived shortly after hearing the news.

" Calm Down everyone!" Yelled the chief. Everyone quite down including the unknown people. There was something different about them. The way they dressed, the way they talked and the way they looked was completely different than us.

Chief Nai talked with the long beard man and announced everyone to go back their daily duties. My father grabbed my hand but my curiosity couldn't help but look back at them. As I turn to take one last look I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest.

"Ugh!" What was that?! It felt like I was about to faint. I touched my chest as we headed back home. All day I couldn't help but think about the strange people who arrived and the sudden pain in my chest. Sun was setting and I finished my last chore as I head into bed. Hmm.. feels nice to lay down after a long day. My eyes became heavy and I swayed off into sleep.

My feet felt wet and cold as I opened my eyes , " What!" Have I been sleep walking?. My heart raced and I started to panic, I was standing on the wet grass on the edge of our nearby lake, Lake Sinia. I hurried back home before anyone notices. On my way back home I noticed something a small path, my curiosity was pushing me to stop and go check it out. I stopped as it's already late and if dad notice I was gone it would cause a chaos.

The next morning I headed out early , I couldn't go back to sleep thinking about the path so I decided I would do my chores early and go check out the path. I finished my chores and kiss my dad goodbye "mwah bye father see you in a bit." "Careful and don't be late Sori " I ran toward the path of the lake as I saw my dad smiling in the distance waving me goodbye. After awhile of walking I reached the small path I came across last night. We been visiting lake sinia all the time but never saw this path, as I looked at the path my feet was already walking into it.

After awhile I saw a bright light, I ran toward it. " Violet!" I gasped. This flower has been gone for a decade. I pluck a handful and rushed back home. "Dad, Dad" I yelled out repeatedly. The excitement and joy inside me couldn't help but be impatient as I run around the house looking for him. When I came back out there was my father, also with the chief and the bearded stranger. I was confused as to why the chief and the stranger would be here at our house. My father called me down to sit. He asked me where I had found the violets. The look in their eyes sent a chill down my spine. I looked at my dad as I told him, the chief and the bearded man got up suddenly and left. I was confused as to why their behaviors was so strange.

That night I put the violet near my window as I stare in it beautiful shining leaf, I felt the sharp pain in my chest again. What could this pain be? I walked out with the flowers In my hand and took a stroll down to the lake , there it was again the bright light near the small path. I didn't want to go in as it was midnight but there was something inside me pushing me onto the path.

Afterawhile I reached the flowers but this time it was brighter and the field seems to have grown bigger. The flowers grew beyond the forest and what seem to be an open path on the other side. I walked toward the path, walking in the field of violet. Reaching the end of the path I saw the lake but it was different, the lake was glowing as though the moon was right above it. I felt like dreaming , night seems to have turned to day by the brightness of the lake. It almost blinded my eyes. I covered my eyes a bit as I walked toward the lake , when I take my hand down halfway there was a figure.

A man with long hair and glowing skin walked out of the lake, the brightness blinded my eyes I had to covered them. When I opened my eyes the man was gone. Where did he go, who was he. My thought ran across my mind, I felt confused, overwhelmed and scared at the moment. I walked back home before it was too late , my mind filled with thoughts of the man. I wonder who he was and where did he come from. Why was he in the lake in the middle of the night.
