Chereads / Drown Me In Deep / Chapter 7 - Dilemma

Chapter 7 - Dilemma

Violin music.

Violin music dances through my head as I get closer to the Ferris wheel.I see that there's no one around and I can get on it myself.As soon as I step in front of it , it automatically stops almost as if it's aware of my presence. Slowly, I approach the capsule and I think twice about stepping into it as everything here is not as it is from where I came from.My hand slowly grazes the outer shell of the capsule as I see the lavender and milky white colour of it swirl into my eyes. I hesitate and look up at the colour filled sky which deceives me into thinking it might be helpful.Suddenly a drop falls onto my nose, one drop which turned into several pouring down onto me, drenching my chocolate brown hair and covering my eyes.

Great.It's raining.

Now I have no choice but to get inside.

I quickly hop inside and the metallic worn out interior strikes me.How can something so magnificent have such a hideous inside?The door behind me shuts immediately sending a swish of wind directly at me making me shiver .I rub my hands together attempting to gain warmth and once again my gaze shifts towards the pearl bracelet.I close my eyes and let out a deep sigh collecting my scattered thoughts and tell myself that I'm going to be okay.But the words that come out of my mouth are slippery and roll off my tongue as I know that I'm doomed and have no idea what to do.

I accidentally breathe In the dusty, old air making me cough.I look at the belt around my waist tightly strapped to me as if it were a part of me. I don't remember strapping it so it must have done it itself which is weird just like everything else.I lay my head back and look out the window as I slowly start rising above the ground, I would have loved this if the atmosphere wasn't this sinister. I finally reach to the tip of the Ferris wheel and I can see everything from up there.The rain falling out of the green clouds and the resuming violin music.I still can't see anyone and it feels really empty as the only thing here is a speaker and this Ferris wheel accompanied by the subtle downpour of rain that is slowly starting to disappear.

Once I reach the bottom and my gloomy ride comes to an end , I step out, still damp and cold from being soaked in rain.I wait for the rain to come to a stop in the corner and once it does, I see someone come out.

Finally , help.

About 20 or so people March out in a crisp, straight line wearing plain, sky blue robes from head to toe.They March right past me as if I don't exist so I rush and run up to them trying to catch their attention. I look one of them straight into their eyes and say,

"can you please help me? I don't think I'm supposed to be here."

with that, his fluorescent yellow eyes widen and his eyebrows rise as he takes a huge gulp.

" uh..uh…we don't know anything lady, you better leave or you'll get in trouble."He quickly sputters and he and his people who all have the same yellow eyes scurry as quickly as possible.

I have so many questions.

Why are they wearing the same things and why do they all have yellow eyes? Why does everyone I meet get scared of me? It's so frustrating and it makes me clench my fists making me shake.A couple tears fall out of my eyes but I pull myself together and silently follow the people to wherever they're going.
