Bottle of Stories (62)

"My suspicions are right," said Kid who appeared out of nowhere. "Is this a warning that something is going to happen here."

The guardian of dreams remained quiet letting the cold sweat run down to his cheeks.

Jayson felt that he needed to respond because his guardian seems to be nervous around Kid. "Just what I've said earlier, we're here to observe."

"Then Mr. Dreams are interested in humans?"

They remained silent.

"Great news! Enjoy your stay here. I will pretend that this is the first time I met you." He pointed the guardian of dreams. Then he disappeared like nothing happened.

"I'm scared! I thought he is gonna teleport us to another place. When that happens, everything becomes swirling and twisting and spinning..."

"If you don't want that to happen, then why you made this dream so realistic anyway?"

"Because you want the truth!"

"You can just turn us invisible!"

"You can't tell me what to do!"

"Why are you yelling at each other?" They stopped for a moment. She was the girl who invited Kid before.

"My parents told me that eating together makes you forget the anger you feel towards each other."

"That's not the point..."

"Yeah, we should. But we are on a tight budget so we are doing our best to save our money," the guardian intervened.

"I have an idea! You should stay in our house. My mom is a great cook!" said the girl smiling up to her ears.

"That's too much..."

"Yeah, let's go to their house, Jayson. What is your name by the way?" the guardian interrupted Jayson once again.

"Lealyn, 7 years old."

"A very cute name you had!"

"Thank you."

They did have dinner in Lealyn's household. After they filled their stomachs, they went outside because Lealyn will guide them to the small hut where they can stay. At the distance, a boy with the same age as her called her by name. It was Kid from the barn.

"Kid," she approached the boy.

"You told me we are going to play so I tried to find you."

"Really?" She holds his hands. "I'm here, I will call our friends after I bring our visitors to my place. Could you accompany me first?"

"Sure."

Jayson and his guardian just listened to their conversation until they reach the small hut. They went inside and saw a lot of dolls and clothes hanging on a string. There were books, jars, and an opened sewing kit on the table.

"You can use rolled mat over there. Please don't play with my stuff because it's not a toy. That's all goodnight!" She hurriedly runs towards Kid and walked with him.

"She got a weird hobby for a kid," the guardian commented.

"What hobby?"

"You will see."

"Ugh, why are you making things so slow." He walked outside and slammed the door. He sat down on the grass and stared at the starry sky. He decided not to sleep with the guardian because he is getting impatient.
