9 Years After
The constant sound of an alarm blaring in my ears and a low growl make my skin crawl. I felt nothing but a cold chill cross my skin. A warm breath blowing my hair. "Please don't let this be real," I whisper. Before I can see what was before me, the dream faded. I woke in my bed covered in a heavy blanket. I never understood my I kept dreaming it. It was always the same thing. Yet I never saw the figure before me, just its breathing and the chills I have staring back. "Angel? You up yet? Breakfast is ready!" A voice called breaking me out of my trance. It was my aunt. I slowly got out of bed and the moment my foot touched the carpet my entire leg burned. "Shit!" I mutter. Sorry for my french or whatever it is, I dislocated my knee and it doesn't hurt as much as it did before but its still hell when I put some pressure on it. I grabbed my knee brace and wrapped it on my knee. When it was finally secured I slowly walked down the stairs. How did I dislocate it? I was playing soccer when it happened. By far the worst day of my life. I had to cut the team because of that. My aunt made me. She said I was "too fragile" to play. I hate her, I wished that mom was here, she would've let me stay on the team. "Mom?" I repeated it quietly a few times. "Angel you up? Don't make me come up and get you." I sighed and went downstairs. Aunt Laura was making some toast and a weird salad made of seaweed and kimchee. "Alright, Angel I am going to work. Make sure you behave," She said while balancing a dish in her hands. "Behave? Arent I staying home?" I asked. "No, I'm taking you to work with me. Since I have no choice." choice? What? "Make sure you do what the staff tell you and please don't wander off." I pouted. Not my fault that I get bored. "What's your job? That's so important for you to bring me along?" She sighed at my sarcasm. "I study behavioral patterns of animals. That's all you need to know." "Are you an FBI agent? Or CIA?"I joke. She smiled. "If I told you, I would have to kill you." "Is that a thing?" "I don't know, now eat up and get ready." I nodded.
