![]() "You're not…are you?" She couldn't think straight. ![]() She blinked, slowly prying his hand from her mouth. She stared with wide eyes at a man that didn't seem to come from this world. She started to scream, but suddenly a gloved hand was over her mouth. Lizzie jumped up with the intent to close it, but was scared away by an owl flying through the window. The window burst open and a gust of wind flew in. "I guess it doesn't work for people who aren't children anymore, right?" She chuckled sadly to herself before looking down at the book again. I wish you would come and take me away right now." She held her breath for a moment, not expecting anything, but silently hoping. "Goblin king, goblin king, wherever you may be." She mumbled. Lizzie sighed, pulling her headphones out and looking down at the book. A door slammed shut downstairs and the house grew quiet. She squeezed her eyes shut and pressed her palms against them to try and fight back tears. She shoved her headphones into her ears and turned her gaze back to her book, but she couldn't pay attention. There was a crash downstairs and people started screaming. The sun was setting and the sky was serene. She gazed out of the window for a moment. Lizzie sat on the floor by her bedroom window.
