Perchance to Dream
I stood arm in arm with my father beside the willow tree as the breeze picked up and my heart gently sunk. With the sunset pristine, he looked at me with a shimmering glint in his eyes. "I love you, Susan," he said, "I'm so very proud of you, sweetheart." I looked at him for a moment and smiled, then looked away towards the trail of lights that lay before us. Around the corner, the pathway illuminated far greater than that of any starry night, and my love for this moment became undoubtedly absolute. Still, arm in arm, my father and I walked along the sacred path and witnessed the utmost beguiling scene of thought and affection. Fireworks erupting across the lake, violinists performing in such an exquisite style, the townspeople gathered with nothing but smiles, and the cliche but appropriate; white doves emerging as we went onward. It was magnificent, even more so than the sun flaring behind us as it sunk beneath the horizon. I proceeded to hold my father close as we neared the end of our lively course. My dress was still immaculate and glistened as though all of the light that we traversed absorbed into it. I felt majestic, glorious to say the least, and as we approached the doors of the old barn I had once feared, I was now facing them with reverence and a willingness to persist.

Adeleigh's Amends
With nurture, Adeleigh held my head close to her side as she peered above the crowd. I kept to myself, youthfully ruffling my fingers through her long, wavy brown hair. Adeleigh stared down at me and spoke rather deliberately, "I need you to look me in the eyes and promise me you will keep it on." I remained leaning beside her while the sun gleamed down onto my face. "Anna, please look at me! I know you're afraid, but I'm not sure what's happening," she said. "Addy, we've been standing out here all day. My feet are hurting, and the sun is starting to burn," I exclaimed. Adeleigh, now holding me more tightly towards her, began to rub my arm as a means of comfort. "I know Anna. I'm trying to figure out what's happening. I can see officers going around talking to people, so we will find out what's happening once they make their way towards us, okay?" she uttered reassuringly. I continued to cling to her, fatigued and displeased over the circumstances I found myself in. Several people were shouting and cursing, crying and weeping, but I took solace in my sister's composure. I wanted to follow her lead, even though I found myself growing more immobilized as time moved forward. A few other children I could make out through the gaps between the adults looked similar to me in age. One girl even mirrored my exact clothing style, minus the flower petal embroidery of my sundress and the heart-shaped locket Adeleigh just secured around my neck. Still hearing the crowd of people grow more enraged as the warmest hours of the day passed, I fixed my focus up at Adeleigh's face to gather any updates she may have had solely based on her facial expressions. Each time I looked up, they were always the same, dismal but composed. Dismally lost because she still had no answers and desperately controlled because I needed her to have them. Gazing up at her, I asked, "Is anything happening, Addy?" With hesitation in her voice, she replied, "The officers are still going around talking to people, but it looks like they're getting close to us. I will talk with them myself when they are close enough. Please, don't say anything when they do speak to us, Anna." I nodded my head in agreement.
