Log 15-What Oma Needs
Halie The alarm clock lets out a dull
bing, bing. "Wake up, Warren!" I whisper half asleep. "Why?" He ask, still half asleep. "Is Marley toddling around the house?" "No," "Is someone at the door?" "No," "Then I'm going back to sleep." "Warren!" I hit with a pillow, and he groans. "It's Monday, Shirley has to go to school." "Okay, I'm up." He says. I get up and get dressed before waking Shirley up.
"Shirley, time to wake up." I say kneeling by her bed. "Mph." "Time to wake up for school." She jumps out of bed, and smiles. 'Yay!" She puts on her new dress we bought on Saturday, and patiently waits for me to tie the bow in the back. Once tied, she bounces up and down while I grab Marley out of her crib. "Warren is making breakfast, I'll be out there in a minute." She nods and skips out of the room.
"Mama!" Marley squeals. "Marley!" I put her little yellow dress on and tie her hair into pigtails. "There was a farmer who had a dog, and Bingo was his name-o. B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O and Bingo was his name-o!" She sings as I get her dressed. i swoop her up and into her high chair, still singing that Bingo dog song. I place her oatmeal on the tray, and she shoves her hands into it. Square, our dog, sits patiently by the high chair. Waiting for some crumbs on the floor/ Shirley and Warren sit at the table. Shirley eating pancakes and Warren drinking coffee while reading the paper. I grab the cup of coffee pf the table and sip it. "I'm so excited, Halie!" She exclaims in between bites. "Will you do my hair/" "Of course." I grab the hair brush and a hair tie from the drawer. I pull back her hair into a high ponytail and brush it flat. "Thank you!" She places her plate in the sink and skips to grab her shoes. "Warren, lets go walk her to the bus." He nods and puts the paper down and follows me to the door. I put Marley on my hip. And we wave as Shirley gets on the bus. "Bye!" Shirley cries as she climbs on the bus and sits next to her friend.
At Eleven Thirty, I take a breath and pull my shoes on. "Warren, I'm taking Square for a walk. Be back by two!" Okay," he yells back. "I might take Marley to the park." "Bye." I yell and walk out the door with Square at my heels.
At the beach, I let Square free. And of course, Square being a genius, runs and drinks water from the ocean. [
I didn't know dogs could do that!]
I laugh, then I see her. She stands out because she's dressed in all black.
She stands alone, staring at the ocean. She turns around, and I wonder how she heard me.
"Hello, Halie. You came alone?" "Yes, I did, Oma." "I need you to do something for me. But first I must show you something."
"Take my hand." Slowly, I reach my hand out. She sticks hers out, as if were shaking hands.
There's a blinding flash of white light, before the world comes onto focus. A dark purple house looms up. Three little girls sit on a bench on the patio.
"That's me and my sisters." Oma's voice startles me half to death. "Can they see us?" I ask in a hushed voice. "No, this is only a memory. They can not see or hear us." I nod, the whole idea perplexing me. But I spent what i thought was only a few months but was actually seven hundred years in a school.
"The one on the far right is me. I always wore darker clothing." I nod, the little girl who becomes Oma is pretty. "In the middle is my sister Jill. Jill was the type of person who always wanted to help. And who had a look that made you always want to help her. And that," She pointed to the far left. "Is my evil sister Kali. Kali tricked everyone, by looking angelic and then pulling crimes. Then blaming me. I hated her, still do. She was just evil, mean to everyone. We argued most of the time"
A still of Oma and Kali arguing filled my vision, followed by Oma hugging Jill.
"Jill and me were friends, we always played together and she made me feel better. Because as we grew older, we discovered we had . . . powers. I realized I could send visions and memories, almost movies, to people. And they could watch time, like you are right now. And Kali," She shivered. "Kali could take things out of time. Like she did to the school, and you." A shiver ran through me, Kali made this all happen. "And Jill, she could fix everything that Kali did." "Why didn't you just have her fix it?!" I scream. "Because, something happened between us and we are no longer friends. That's why i need you, Halie." I felt frozen. The words stuck in my mouth.
"I need you to go to Twin brook and find my sister. Tell her I am sorry, and explain what happened to you. If she doesn't believe you, show her this." She unclasp a golden locket from around her neck. She places in my hand and i slide it into my pocket. "So, will you do it?" "i, I don't know." I say uncertainty. "I understand, it's a hard decision. You have in till midnight tomorrow to tell me. If you will, meet me at the beach at midnight, if not don't bother to show up." I nod and, everything goes white again.
And I'm left sitting on the sand, Square licks my face. And I realize I'm soaked in salt water and covered in sand. More perplexed then ever.
Hope you liked the update and feel free to tell me what you think!
So, should Halie go to Twin Brook and meet Jill and maybe fix everything? What do you guys think about separating it into paragraphs? I thought it would be easier to read that way.
