Everything I Ever Want

She saw herself in a dark forest. Where there were dense trees and sunlight could not reach the earth. It was daytime but there was darkness in the forest. Dressed in a black gown, she seemed to be a part of this darkness. She did not know why she was there. In front of her was a palace. It was very beautiful. She wanted to go into it. She took a step forward and a sound hit her ears.

"I want you …," that was the gorgeous voice of a man. She looked around in surprise but there was no one.

"I want you," again repeated. Her heart pounded. Then her eyes opened. She was on her bed in her room and was having a dream. Now she was awake. She looked like a fairy tale Barbie because of her extraordinary beauty and pinkish color mixed with white. Her brown wavy hair was very long which was scattered on the pillow and bed and she was hidden in a blanket up to her chest. She blinked for a while and thought about that strange dream. That was the third time she had the same dream. She did not know why this happened.

"Who wants me?" She questioned herself. There was someone who wanted her. that was a man's voice. Did any man want her? She was confused. When she didn’t understand this dream she shook her head, stopped thinking about it and sat up looking at the clock. It was eleven fifty-five at night. She felt thirsty. She looked at the side table. The jug had run out of water. Now she had to fetch water from the kitchen. It was very cold. She got out of bed, put on her shoes, picked up the jug, and walked towards the door. The whole house was made of wood. It was a small house built on an icy mountain at the end of the Fairy Meadows area. It had two floors. Her room was on the second floor. She left the room and came down the stairs. She saw the lights in the dining hall were on. Maybe Mama forgot to turn off the light. She came to the dining hall to turn off the lights but was surprised. Mama was awake. She was decorating a cake by putting candles on it. She remembered that it was her eighteenth birthday at twelve o'clock.

"Mama!" Her tone of speaking was beautiful. Zaria looked at her and smiled with pleasure.

"Hey, Anna! My daughter. Did you get up? I was about to wake you up. To wish you a birthday. Look, I made a cake for you." Zaria spoke enthusiastically.

"It looked pretty. Thank you." Anna thanked as she approached the cake

"Come here. It's about twelve o'clock. Let's celebrate your birthday together." Zaria spoke. Anna stepped forward and sat down on a chair.

"There are only ten seconds left. Until then, think of your wish. I will accept whatever you ask me." Zaria lit the candles and sat down on a chair near her. Anna closed her eyes and thought. A wish that she had wanted since childhood first came to her mind.

"It's twelve o'clock." she opened her eyes at Zaria's voice.

"Extinguish the candles," Zaria said and Anna blew out the candles. Zaria applauded.

"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to my dear daughter. Happy birthday" Zaria sang and she smiled happily.

"This is your gift." Zaria handed her a necklace made of diamonds. It was very alluring.
