CHAPTER TEN:
“Guys I’m feeling wozy now? ” I told Flo and Lora but they didn’t hear me. “Guys, I don’t think I’m…”
That was the last thing I could remember as I made it to the ground.
And the next was scre-ms which didn’t last long as I finally passed out.
The same happenings the first night of my dreams with the same figure standing across my room.
I shut my windows and doors but turning to hide myself under my blanket, he was already in my room.
I slowly moved backwards, making it back to the door. My hands held the locks, gently twisting it to open, and when it finally did, the next thing was that he’s holding my neck.
I scre-med, but not to loud to reach mom’s room. Then I started to plead as the one crazy thought bombed into my brain.
Death…
Yet, he still finds fun in the way he strangles me. My eyes were getting dull and even at the darkness, everything was becoming dim and bull.
“You’ll join the others.” He said almost like a whisper but loud enough for me to hear.
“Noo!” I jerked up, staring around my room, sighing in relief as the sun rays shone on me.
It’s always a dream. I kept saying that to calm myself down.
I shifted the blanket aside, pulling myself to the bathroom. After I had washed my face, I stared at my pale self at the mirror.
“Who the heck are you?” I asked no one in particular, burying my face to the sink.
But it turns out that I really did ask someone when a voice replied. “A friend.”
I rose my eyes back to the mirror to the see the same figure standing beside me, his fangs were high almost making its way on me when I finally jerked up to reality. I guess.
Perceiving the same funny scent of the clinic gave me a one hundred percent sure that I was really back to my world.
I forced myself to sit up even though the pounding pains on my head wouldn’t let me.
“Are you alright?” Miss Martin asked. She was sitting beside me and all the seconds I had wa-isted my last strength to sit up she didn’t help me?
Okay. She still hates me, and I’m still fine with that.
“How are you feeling?” She asked again.
I only nodded my head at her. Is she trying to look concerned? I know Miss Martin too well since fift grade, she never cared for anything or even… anyone.
“I heard what happened and the nurse told me too.”
“What did she tell you? “I asked because I know Mrs Green too well, ever since told mom about me having sleepless nights, I never trust her to be a secret keeper.
” Everything.”
“Damn, does she have to be this talkative? “I scoffed.
” Mrs Green is not a talkative, she’s only trying to help. ”
” By telling everyone she sees? ”
” That’s because I forced her to. “I looked away. ” Look, Elise, I don’t know what’s wrong with you but let me help. ”
” No one can help me, and you’ll end up staring at me like I’m some kinda crazy jerk who just managed to leave a psychiatric hospital. It’s not necessary. ”
” That’s what you think, but whatever those dreams are, it’s hunting you. ”
My eyes w¡dened. How did she know I was having nightmares? I never told the nurse nor… “I never told anyone, how did you get to know? ”
” Elise, it’s a long story and it’s definitely not something to talk about… in here. I’ll tell you everything but right now, I need to know what this dreams are. ”
” Death… Bloods, that’s what it’s all about. ”
” I need the full story. ” Step by step, I narrated the wh0le story to her, no leaving, no adding.
The way she looked at me showed how much she was listening to the wh0le damn things.
“That’s it.” I said as soon as I was done.
“Does anyone else know about this?” She asked and I gave a nod.” Who? ”
” My mother. ”
” No one else aside her? ” I nodded again.
” What you’re having is something that will happen. It surely will, one day but not today. And whoever that figure is, it’s coming for you just as Flo warned. ”
When she had said those, I thought I was dreaming when a thought came in.
Is this actually Miss Martin talking? Or, am I dreaming the wh0le thing again?
“Elise?” She called for what seemed like minutes. “You left for a bit, what were you thinking?”
“Nothing.” I lied because that was necessary.
” Let’s keep this between us, no one has to know, not even your friends. Understood? ”
” Okay. ”
She left and Mrs Green walked in. ” How did I get here? “I asked, seeing her.
“You passed out, but seeing how you got up, guessed you passed out twice. ”
” I passed out twice? How is that possible? ”
” I don’t know, I should be asking you that. ”

That evening, mom sent me to aunty Vera’s house to give her something she had promised to give to her since Sunday.
I wore my hoody, my hands both buried in it as I listened to my music.
I never imagined how nice the night breeze felt until I left the house.
It’s been long since I had a night walk, that was two years ago. Since then, mom has been fearing for my safety. And somehow I wish I know she has forgotten those words. Very thankful for that.
There were four men walking to my way, but I didn’t put much interest in them.
My wh0le mind and soul were fixed to the music ‘Bad blood’ by Taylor Swift.
We passed but they later turned back, following me from behind.
One of them pulled my ear plugs away. “What the…” I looked at them. “F*ck.”
“Hey sweetie, whatsup?”
“I don’t have your time okay, I’ve got somewhere to go. “I made a step to go but the one at the middle held my hand.
” Leaving already? We haven’t even talked.”
“Look, I’m not in the mood for your talks, you can do that with someone else. ”
Another slapped me on my butt and they all laughed. He wanted to do it again when I gave him a hot slap, he bite his cheek, forming a smirk on his l-ips.
“I love that.” He said and they laughed again.
I started running, they kept following me. I know I wasn’t a good runner but, at least I tried to keep my distance.
It’s not as if where I was was somewhere to scre-m for help, instead you’ll end up hearing your voice.
I never knew one of them had followed a shortcut, running to me from the other direction.
Stopping, I made a turn but they were coming from the opposite directions.
I was praying that superman or one of those DC or marvel superheroes in movies could come save me.
But I realized that they were all movies.
I don’t know where to start, if I should cry or laugh or scre-m and end up hearing my echos reflecting back at me or…
The head of the four, I guess, brought out a small knife swinging it after he had k-ssed it.
… If I was gonna let them kill me instead.
Which I do not know.
One held me, giving chance for the guy with the knife to do whatever he wants to do on me.
I struggled to get free, but he was ten times of ‘Big show.’
“Let me go! Let me go!”
“Nowhere to run princess. Give us what we want. ”
” What? ”
Excuse me, did I heard right?
Give them what they… Want?
Yeah, I heard that right.
” I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let me go.”
“We,” he pointed the four of them, ” want you. Won’t you give us what we want, or should we force you to? ”
” I’m not giving you anything, so you better have me dead.”
“Wow, so brave of you. What if I start with your face? When you see no one finds interest in you, then you’ll remember why you have to suddenly get the ugly face. ”
He placed the knife on my face, moving it slowly on my cheek. I yelled at the pain, feeling my blood rolling out as he kept moving it.
“Stop. Stop, okay.” I breathed, “fine, I’ll give you all what you want. ”
He came close, when I saw he was now close enough, I kicked his d*ck.
” Ouch!!” He scre-med, “that f*cking hurts!” He looked at the way the rest of them stood still. “What are you waiting for?!”
“One more step and I’ll do worst than that to you.” They held their d*ck, looking at each other.
“Don’t just stand there,” he barked, “do something!”
They almost made it to me but they suddenly stopped when the lights of an incoming car shone at them, covering their eyes with their hands.
The door opened and whoever that was in there stepped out.
My eyes w¡dened in surprise, as I watched him fully out of his car.
