To wake up

Wake up... Sometimes this task can be hard. The alarm started on. She had to wake up.
Calixto put her feet out her bed. When they touched the ground she had a strange feeling. She could almost swear that she was feeling water. She look down and saw nothing else than the floor and her feet. But could steel feel the water.
- That’s strange, she thought.
She got up and went take a shower. Although the best to start a day would be cold shower she preferred a nice and hot bath. When she finished it she went to the mirror to take a look at her self. She cleaned the mirror and suddenly got scared. She was tremendously pale. She had never been like that. And she had never seen someone like it.
She went to her room to get dress. After that she put a lot of rouge in her face, to look less pale.
She used to take breakfast on a bar near her work. So she got out home.
When she got to bar she asked a croissant and a coffee. The waiter man got scared with her pale look. He asked her if she was feeling all right. She said that was fine. Even so the waiter attended her request with hurry.
- Hum, this pale colour has its vantages, she thought.
She took her time to eat. She hated to eat in a hurry. She liked to enjoy the tastes.
When she finished it she went to pay.
In that day she only worked on morning. She had the rest of the day off.
When she arrived all had been admired with its pallor.
- It’s everything all right? Are you feeling well? Everyone was asking her that.
- Yes, I’m fine.
Her pallor continued to make an impression.
When the morning was over she went straight to home. She ate something fast and get prepared. She was going to the beach with her sister.
She was anxious about that afternoon.
They both had been mad and she asked her sister for a time on the beach. To see if they could let behind all the argues.
When her sister got to her home started to argue. She was expecting something like that. But not the storm that’s she was bringing.
She started screaming at Calixto, saying that the day on the beach wouldn’t change anything.
Calixto tried to calm her down. She said that she knew that both of them had differences. And she knew that was hard for both to accept that.
- That’s why I invite you. Come on, calm down.
- Ok. I’ll stop.
Calixto was so happy for have managed her sister temper that she didn’t saw the strange look on her eyes…

Her sister was dressed in her house. She took a while. And, oddly, asked to get dress in Calixto’s room, alone.

When she was finish they went to beach.
When they had arrived there they look for a place to put their sun umbrella.
Their put some sun cream and laid down the beach towels.
- Tell me, what have you doing? Asked Calixto.
- It is not of your business.
- Ok, forget it. What do you want to talk about than?
- Nothing. Leave me alone! Said her sister.

Calixto was a bit nervous. The reaction of her sister was not being good. She didn’t know what to do. After all, that day was to their two forget about all them argues.

- I’m going to swim.
- I’m going with you. Wait for me. Said Calixto.
- No! Stop following me!

The face of Calixto seemed to show both disillusion and suffer. But her sister’s face appeared to have anger and maybe hate.
Without knowing what to do, she remembered that she was with hungry.
She didn’t have eaten very much.
So she grabbed in a sandwich and in a jus to lunch.
In the meantime her sister got out of the water.
- The only thing you do is eat. No wonder you’re fat!
- Listen up: I’m not fat. Not even close. Anyone with eyes can tell that. And one more thing: I love you very much. And I invited you to stop our quarrels. But if you are continuing like that I’ll go away. And I’ll never more look to your face!

For a moment Calixto’s sister seems surprised. Then, when she saw that Calixto was being serious she reflected for a while.
- Do you want to have a walk on the beach? Asked her sister.
- Yes, I do. Let’s go.

The rest of the evening was quiet.
By the time the sun started to fall down they went home.
Although all that have happen, they decided not to have dinner together.
That evening had been enough for now.

She went take a bath. She wanted to take all out of her and feel free.
When she went to see her self at the mirror she got scared.
It wasn’t her that was there, it was a dead body. It was her dead body.
- Stop running!
Calixto look back and saw a light.
- Stop wanting changing your destiny. Come with me.
- Who are you? What do you want?
- Come, don’t be afraid. Trust me.
Calixto hesitated. But at the end she followed the light.
As soon as she touched the light she felt a warm over her body. And she saw her day to turn back, until the moment that her sister wanted to go to the water alone. She saw her own disappointment. She saw the moment she went to eat. At the same moment that she was seeing that she turned her attention to the water, toward her sister. With some surprise, she noticed that her sister was observing her a lot, although she was trying to hide it. She kept watching her self eating until she was done. Then she saw herself laying down.
Suddenly she heard a scream for help. It was from her sister! She saw while she was raising and running to save her. She saw as the ocean seem all of a sudden more wild.
She saw all her effort.

More people went to help her. But Calixto was already exhausted. She had swallowed too much water…
She saw her sister walking on the sand, safe and sound. And also saw her dead corpse being transporting by some people.
- No! Calixto, answer me! Wake up! No! Said her sister in totally despair.
She saw her hugging her body while was whispering something, with a undercover smile:
- I knew you would come. Now all our disputes are over…
