-- Please, do some good dreams this time – mom says
--Maybe you can dream some numbers to play, ehehe," her father said.
--I'll try,-- the girl replied with a smile, so her parents kissed her on the forehead.
It’s night, all is silent, Zandi dreams.
She is again in front of that old door, in alert sleep she watches under the knob, there are no cracks, how to open, but especially because in her there is this feeling of wanting to open. She is desperate about how to do, but nothing to do, she beats her fists on it but nothing. Suddenly her eyes are opened, and this is also a dream, the heart is in palpitation, but it is even more for Zandi to look around.
She is up, she does not know where, lost, she has walked during her sleep, she is well, she is in the attic, she does not know how she is here.
In front of her there is a white and dusty cloth.
What does it hide?
She pulls it down, and then she gets on her knees with wonder, it's the old door of the dream, leaning against a wall.
What does it hide from the arcane?
She looks at the knob, there is a strange design, then under the knob there is a crack for a key.
But what can this thing mean?
Now exhausted she decides to go down to her room, but as soon as she turns, her medallion from under the pyjamas starts to shine on the contours, with a light that moves throughout the jewel. She remains motionless from wonder, she was living something magical. She turns around shooting a sleeve on a piece of furniture and tearing a bit the pyjamas, she approaches the door looking at the knob, her instinct makes her take the necklace and place it on the knob, magic... the cracks start to glow with a blinding light.
What is happening?
The door opens some centimetre, here is the reason of dreams.
She suddenly opens that door and a bright light invests her, making her lose consciousness.
She opens her eyes, the sound of the alarm signals that another day is about to begin, the school awaits for her. She gets up suddenly, she is on the bed in her room, it may have been just a dream in the dream, and yes, she tries to convince herself that reality is now in her room. The necklace is in place around her neck. so it cannot be anything but a bad dream. So she starts dressing for her school day.
As soon as she takes off her pyjamas putting it on her bed, her sweet eyes go on her sleeve, it is torn as in the dream.
Immediately she run to the attic and she finds that door, the towel is on the ground, it has not been just a dream. Suddenly she opens the door moving the necklace on the knob but opening it there is only the wall of the attic... .. Her perplexity is interrupted by Linda
--Zandiii, where are you? Come down, if not it's late for school --
-- Yes Mom, I'm coming down --
The girl comes down with a little of disappointment on every step. After making a skimpy breakfast she runs to the nearby bus stop for the school, the vehicle is there waiting with the open doors, she enters sitting without looking at anyone, remaining with the head bowed. The bus begins to move, but her thoughts are still in the attic.
--Good morning, upset!-- Anna said (her best friend, when she saw Zandi) -- Do not you see me? But this morning you have a strange face! It seems you have seen ghosts tonight! --hinting a smile
-- Anna,-- Zandi answered, hugging her – Last night was a bad night for me, I still have to realize what happened to me--
-- In my opinion you ate heavy and this led you to do bad nightmares, it is so, do not worry... .. ah here we go down that today that hag of science professor wants to question us --
Both took their knapsacks and got down of the bus setting off for the school which is a hundred yards from the bus stop.
They immediately entered the classroom sitting down at the school bench they shared.
-- Take the book!—Anna murmured
-- The prof! --
--Good morning!-- The class greeted the science teacher
-- Good morning guys, stay comfortable -- the professor replies, that as soon as she sat down she said:
-- Today we had to question, but unfortunately for a mishap I could not prepare the questions for the interrogation. So today I will explain, but do not cradle that soon I will question everyone -- she added with an angry face.
-- Then open on page 83, today we will talk about the state of South Africa and its gold mines --
Zandi opened the book and she turned over the pages waiting for the mentioned page, the number 83. As soon as it arrived she looked at it: there were several photos, one represented the South African state, another represented a mountain considered sacred from those of that place and in another one there was the image of the entrance of a gold mine located in the above-mentioned mountain and some people of the place busy to work.
Her eyes began to see in the last photo some of the smudges, it seems that the landscape is moving imperceptibly, people were moving, suddenly the picture made a foreground on an old black worker who was at the end.
He said:
-- Please, help us, you are our hope, do not abandon us...--
Zandi petrified and then she threw the book in front of her suddenly, she shouted becoming pale and trembling.
--What are you doing? Are you mad?—she reproached her
--Did not you see anything? -- Zandi answered
--No nothing, why what happened? --
- Have not you not see the photo of my book animating and speaking?--
Anna took the book placing it in the centre of the bench and she whispered with a sarcastic smile
- Do you see everything is ok? Not sleep during the night make you funny jokes? --
- What is happening at the bottom? -- The teacher murmured --ah, you're still you, Niversa and Cordi, you know today I wanted to question you first, however, since I could not, tell me which of you have shouted, and I want to know it now! --
--It was me,-- Zandi said, getting up from the chair
-- Well, Miss, for me you can also go out of the classroom, and you come back tomorrow with one of your tutors, ops, adoptive parents, remarking the word adoptive with a rather sarcastic smile.
Zandi took her things and she went out of the class, guided by Anna's displeased look and by the satisfied one of professor.
