"Once Upon a Dream..."

Finally I'm going to post some of my other writings, but this time I'll post them in smaller, more readable bits (especially since this one's not completely finished yet, but I'm working on that). Please do enjoy _______________________________________________________

Let Down… JLF “Zella, get back in here!” “But, Gilly, I’ll be late.” “I said get back in here. Do what I say when I say it. Understand?” “Yes, Gillian.” “And what did I say about calling me that?” “Sorry…Mom.” “Now what is the rule before leaving the house, Zella?” “Gi—Mom, do I really have to?” “What is the rule, Zella?” “Cover up completely before leaving the house.” “And why must we abide by this rule?” “To keep ourselves safe.” “Safe from what?” “From temptation.” “Right, so take your scarf and wrap up your hair properly.” “All right.” “No, Zella! Do it right. If you wrap it too loose it won’t stay, will it? Let me do it.” “Mom, I have to go. I’m gonna miss the bus. I can tighten it on there. Ow!” “If you would stop arguing I could already have it done. There. Good and tight. Now off you go. And remember: come straight home when the tour is over.” “Of course, Mom. I’ll see you in a couple of hours.” “Have fun, Zella. And don’t talk to strangers.”

"Yes, Mom.”
