I don’t remember coming here , everything was dark and restless . The moon bestowed upon his light , but it was all fogged up . It was cold . The atmosphere was dense and uncomfortable , that I struggled breathing . I tried moving my aching body , but I realized I was tied up .
My wrists had cuts , although I couldn’t see it , but I can feel it . The sharp stings of pain on my skin. My head spun . My sight was blurry , until I caught a glimpse of a graveyard with thousands of sleeping corpses in the middle of large eerie woods . That looked like tall men , standing on a burial ground , mourning .
The sight made me so scared that my body was heavily shaking . My throat felt tightened and hoarse ; I opened my mouth to Enhale Air . But sharp needles of pain pierced my inside .
I heard a rustle in the dark woods then , a pair of large , black and white eyes . Boring stares at me . It wasn’t a human , for sure . Then what in the world is that ? It was ‘ something ‘ strange . A thing that was ogersih.
A hideous invertebrate to look at . A big hulking creature . It’s body was shadowed and long. The only thing that was visible , was it’s eye sockets , dancing out of it’s face , it’s smile so big , nearly touching its bulging eyes.
Everything about it, was demonic .
It couldn’t be a human for sure . It had no expression on its soulless face.
It peeps at me , as if it was knowing what exactly I was thinking . It looks like it was laughing at me.
Even though it was far away , I could feel him staring at me . Making my weak body shudder .
It started moving towards me , or it felt like ?
Because every time I blinked , it looked close enough , but soon so far away .
Was I hallucinating from the pain ?
Suddenly strong gush of cold wind , made my body hair stood up . I turned to look at my skin , but when I tried to look for the colorless monster , it jumped out on me , out of nowhere !
Making me scream !!
“ AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
I screeched , in fear .
My eyes were shut from fear , and it was frustrating not to be able to move . Something wet dropped on my arm , I tried looking at it .
Blood ?
Then I felt something lingering near me .
My head hurt . My arms are numb . My breathing heavy . Was this hell ?
Did I died ?
I still could feel the deadly beast near me .
“ please leave me ... don’t kill me ... !” I cried .
And another cut near my throat .
I was shivering . My whole body aching .
I begged again ,“ please don’t kill me !” This time it was a mere whisper , hundling out of my mouth . I could feel it jumping around me .
Making loud noises in the cemetery.
This vicious creature would give anyone creeps . Something rustled my ear then , it sounded like a long mourn of possessed souls .
I shut my eyes off to avoid it .
SOMEONE SAVE ME !
My body vibrating . Tell me it’s a dream !
Tell me it’s just a lie , all this !
All this menace is not true !
I could still feel , it’s eyes on me . Like it was seeing it’s meal , after a decade.
I heard it crawling , I slightly opened my eyes and shut them , it looked like an old man , crawling out , with no legs , from his casket .
I heard it whisper in my ear then ,“it doesn’t go away !” His voice thick and deep .
Like he walked out straight from the burning fire .
I SCREAMED MY LUNGS OUT !!
Until everything vanished into thin air .
I wanted just to get out of here .
Any place is fine , in the damned world .
But not this , not now , not never !
Get me out please !
Someone save me !
Help me !
I don’t want to die !
Not yet !
My eyes drew open in horror . FINALLY !!!
it was just another nightmare. But it seemed too real to be a dream . Let’s just not think much . It was just a dream ! Just a dream !
But my body was against this conspiracy. It felt like ‘IT’ was still lurking on my body . My whole body was shooked in fear .
I tried calming myself , trying to concentrate on the gloomy light which flickered on the wall , through the window . It was dawn . My room was as quiet as a lamb . A sleepless lamb .
But my heart was beating like a jackhammer , thousands of zombies fluttering inside to crawl out . And then the ticks of the clock , irritated my earlobe .
Tick ! Tock ! Tick! Tock ! Tick ! Tock !
I checked my phone - 5:30 exact ! It says !
The vibe of today’s Morning was not good .
I kept thinking about that infernal nuisance, it had already given me .
I shook my head several times , to throw out the negativity out of my mind .
Be strong ! EOS !
be STRONG!
I think I need to take a shower , to clean myself . It still feels like something is on my body ; moving around .
So an Early shower in the morning , when the world around you is sleeping, feels like heaven .
Almost , five years have passed now !
Still the nightmares haunt us .
Every time a new spirit , a new demon , trying to summon my body .
And this time I think it was a ghoul.
Even after all this years , i am still not used to them .
I wiped the mirror covered with fog , from warm water , and examined my ***** body .
The water glistened on my fair skin , highlighting the long scars ; strides of nails , which scratched my tattoos. On my neck , near my belly button , my arms and the nape of my neck . Each scar was different . They still hurt , sometimes the pain is bearable and sometimes it’s not .
The long run memory , of how I got them , still shudders me .
I moved my heavy black hair to other side . Messaging my shoulders . It felt good .
I stared at the mirror for sometime ,
My eyes were as black as coal , matching my mothers .
My lips turned pink because of the water .
Like five years back , I had now , no piercings in my ear , no cuts on my brows . No hanky panky clothes .
I stopped covering my entire hands with rings .
I was an E-GIRL!
Going out drinking , clubbed late at night , didn’t listen to my parents . Had several boyfriends at a single time .
Had drugs .
I was a ruined a girl , whom parents often says not to make frnds with .
I smirked at my stupidity.
Suddenly I was startled .
My phone buzzed loudly . Gosh ! I was again daydreaming . I toweled up myself .
A message from Ana , my younger sister , it says :
...EOS !! I had å nightmare! It was a ...
...beašt , né a monśter ! I don’t knôw ...
...whãt to dô ! ...
...It wás near , my school cemeterÿ . In wôods . ...

...Valén will sćold ! ...
...----------------...
...WHATT ?!! We had the same dream again and In a row . It happened for a fifth time this month . but I didn’t told them ! ...
I bit my lip in frustration .
What is gonna happen ?
WHAT Now ?
I looked outside my window , the sun was almost out , it looked like it was burning buildings .
WILL THE HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF AGAIN ?
OR THIS TIME , TIME WILL BE ANOTHER ILLUSION .
I went to my large empty kitchen , the cabinets are all marble customed because My house was build in 70's .
So I didn’t changed much of it .
Only added some secret doors and just renovated it a little bit .
'What should I cook ? Scrambled eggs or pancakes ?' I wondered , tapping my nails on the kitchen counter .
The memory of that hideous creature lurked in my head , I shookedy head several times to throw away that nasty nightmare of mine .
Think good !
Think happy !
Stay positive!
“Ow !” Sandré jumped on my shoulder . This was his new way of saying - good morning !
“ You shouldn’t do that ! That’s not a good habit !” I scolded him , rubbing his black fur .
He stared at me with his scary emerald eyes . “ what ?” I questioned him . then , He calmly turned his neck to an empty gray plate , placed right next to mine , neatly on the table .
Well , he is my mate , my adorable cat angel . He is like a brother to me .
People don’t get us , especially him acting totally like a human sometimes , or more not like a cat .
“ wait a second babe ! I bought something yesterday for you !”
I served him his fav. Fish biscuits and a bowl of milk . I can tell he was really delighted .
He simply sat next to his plate , and waited patiently for me , until I had my scrambled eggs on my plate .
“ let’s eat ! okay ?” . He nodded and made a squeaky noice , he usually does that when he means - thank you .
Aw! He is so adorable , when he saw me eyeing him , he snarled at me .
“ okay okay ! Sorry !” .
After he finished his meal , he threw away his plate on the ground .
“ sandré !” I yelled at him . He didn’t even flinched , like he doesn’t care , but instead ,scowled at me .
spoiled brat !
Well , he can’t help it . He has this attitude hereditary, from his royal ancient egyptian ancestors.
Yep ! He is a royal one and moreover an Egyptian.
I have spoiled him so much , that he would not eat in the same plate twice . But there’s only one ancient bowl in the whole damn world that he cherishes the most .
Which I gifted him when he turned two . He grew faster than normal cats .
He looked At me and growled “ grrrrrrr !”
“ oops ! Sorry I’ll finish soon !” I ate the last two bites left on my plate .
After finishing the cleaning , sandré pounced on my shoulder again , placing his tiny little puffed hand on my head . We went together to my room . We were always together since childhood . As soon as I headed towards my door knob , he jumped on the floor . “ I’ll take minimum 3 minutes , if I don’t come out then—”
he growled at me , telling me to hurry for college .
“okay ! Mister !” I hurried to change my clothes .
Before leaving the door I yelled at him “ m going now ! So STAY AT HOME ! I don’t want you to see roaming with your **** buddies ! Okay ? Or I’ll kick you out !”
As soon as I said that he pounced on my hair pulling them , Making my scalp hurt .
“ ow ! Ow ! ” I pushed him , “ sandré !” I yelled again . He snarled at me .
He then calmly walked towards the sofa , and sat near the window . Without giving me another glance .
He was mad at me , for the kicking part . Well his madness won’t be lasting long than a minute , so it’s fine .
Dammit ! I was late for the college . I wore a simple cut shirt underneath with a cream shaded blazer . And baggy jeans .
I ran towards my class , “ ouch !” I bumped into a tall girl . She looked scary at first and then she smiled -
indo-American.
“ Ey ! M sorrey ! I did not mean to bump into ya !” . She smiled again . Her tan skin made her look like a professional model with a set of beautiful features .
“ it’s okay ! M at fault too !” I returned her smile .
If she has said the same thing five years back !
The scene would have been like :
“ ey ! I am sorr-”
“ sorry ? Really bitch ! Are you fuckin kiddin me ! Didn’t you mama spit some manners at ya ? Huh !”
So she would have said in return -
“ Excuse meh ! That wasn’t intentional!” OR “ who the hell did you just called a bitch ? Huh !”
And then she would have been in knelt and her arm , pinned by me on the ground .
“ what you thinking ?” She shaked me a little , her distinguished features looked confused .
I smiled ,“ sarcastic thoughts !”
“ oh yeah ? Lemme hear it then , sometime !”
“ oh sure ! Why not !” I showed my Perfect set of teeth , dazzling her .
We sat together for the history class .
It wasn’t so boring , but a little off the hook . after the lecture was over ,
she asked me “ so what happened to your hair ?”
Someone shut her up ! She speaks so much !
“ oh ?” Should I humiliate myself , confessing the rudeness of my pet brother !
“ it’s just breeze !” I lied straightening my long hair with my fingers . “ oh okay !” She didn’t buyed it , I guess .
I saw a demon then , lurking to a young girls neck . He was so huge that he wasn’t letting her breathe . She seemed weak and feeble .
“ hey I didn’t catch your name !” The girl said .
“ it’s EOS !” My eyes still fixed on the other girls neck .
“ oh hi EOS ! it’s JENETH !” She chirped .
But that wasn’t the right time to sing melodies
“ hey JENETH ! Do you know that girl !” I pointed my finger towards the girl . Sitting in the far corner , packing her stuff to move out of the class .
“Oh her ? ! She is mute !” She looked towards the girl and matched my eyes then .
“ what !?” I was shocked
Did that demon , did that to her ?
“ well , her name is miracle ! I don’t know much but her family suffered a huge loss , because of her . Her father went bankrupt and now is a drunkard , her younger brother died when he was 3 year old and her mother is always sick !”
She whispered in my ear then ,“ she has cancer !”
I met the girls eyes , she looked nervous and worried , I smiled at her .
Did she listened our conversation?
She must feel sad !
But the serpent hissed at me .
Probably telling me to stay away from her , I smirked .
He is getting on my nerves now .
I gritted my teeth , after the girl left and the serpent laughed at my loss of losing her .
'I’ll get you soon' i whispered to that filthy snake .
“ you said something ?” JENETH asked .
I shook my head .
“ how do you know all about her ?” I was confused .
“ oh ! She lives next door !” She winked at me .
“ oh !” Was all I could manage to say .
