Chapter 1: The Nightmare

Run, run, and don't look back. They're following you, hunting you because they know you can see them. They're gaining on you, teeth bared, claws ready to shred.

"BEEEEEP…. BEEEEEP…. BEEEEP…."

I sat up in bed, grasping my chest as my breath came at rapid rates. I looked around, trying to find the nightmarish creatures that were chasing me. When I finally was satisfied with my search I moved to turn my alarm off. I hurried through the shower, moving to get dressed and ready. It was always the same thing every morning. I quickly grabbed a breakfast bar then hurried out the door without a goodbye.

"Hey Hailey, you look tired…. As usual." Zach joked. Zach was my best friend since third grade, and some things he just knew. "Another dream?" he asked. I nod once and look at him "It's the same one just in different places." I murmured before sighing "Let's just drop it… I'd rather not talk about it." Zach smiled, nodding softly "Yeah, yeah, I get it. But just FYI your best friend is approaching. 3 o'clock." He mused

A petite blonde walks up and narrows her eyes at Zach then smiles cruelly at me "Hey Hailey, here's the invite to my Halloween Party. It's a costume party of course. I just thought that you're costume would win without a doubt." She said.

I smiled back almost innocently "Oh, shucks Krista. I know my costume is scary, but not THAT scary..." I said. Krista smiled, like she had just cornered me.

"Oh, Really? What as? Frankenstein?" she mused

"No, but it's just as scary in my opinion. I mean who would guess that you were related to that thing." I said, holding back a snicker. Zach however didn't have the restrain I did. He burst out laughing, holding his sides as he tried to breathe between laughs.

Krista's face lit up bright red in embarrassment and she moved to storm off. I waved bye "I'll see you there..!" I said.

If that wasn't enough to make my day a living hell, he was. I don't know who he is or why he's following me. He's about normal height, ice blue eyes pale skin and dark sandy brown hair. He blends in with us, pretending to be one of us, pretending to be normal. He might have everyone else fooled but not me. I know what he is. I can see what he really is. A tiny thing about me is I can see them. I can see the faeries.
