''Cecily.''

The sound of a male voice calling my name echoed through my ears.

Then a large hand roughly tugged on my arm.

''Cecily.''

...What? 

"Run away with me."

...Run away? To where? Where are you taking me? 

All these questions sprung in my mind, but when I opened my mouth to ask, 

the words wouldn't come out. 

Perhaps because he saw my distressed look, he said reassuringly, 

''Don't worry. We're going somewhere far away from here. You'll be safe.''

Like I said before, where are we going?

''It's a secret.''

What? What's going on?

''You'll find out soon enough.''

And the voice trailed off into the distance.

Wait... Don't leave without telling me...

''Wait!''

I shouted desperately, but the image seemed to be getting farther and farther away... 

''Come back!!''

My eyes snapped open. 

Light shining in from an open window greeted my line of sight.

''Oh. So it was just a dream...'' 

I grumbled as I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

What a relief.
