I DON'T own the Fallen story by Lauren Kate, but I do use places and characters from the series.
P.S. Sorry for any spelling and grammar errors (there's always some :P)
Chapter 2: A Nightmare a Day Keeps the Monsters Away.
Darkness encased my dream. There was nothing just the emotionless colour of black. I felt like I was floating, my feet never touching a solid ground in this dream. Then there was a soaring pain that covered the whole of my back. It felt like something big was trying to rip its way out of my back, so it could be set free. I moved around to forget the pain but it only deepened. It was like there was no way the pain could end until a bright light overtook the darkness and I closed my eyes. My feet were on a moist ground that curved to my feet. I opened my eyes to see and wash out forest. Trees that looked dead were decayed and were surrounding me. The colour looking like that of an old, brown and white photo they used to have. On some of the trees, they had grey leaves that swayed with a small breeze. Overall the forest was dark. There was only one path and that was straight ahead.
As I moved the small breeze was dying down, then it only left silence. I took a quick look behind me to find that the forest behind me was moving up with me. It was like it was closing me in a small space that I wouldn't be able to run away from.
I got into a small clearing that was surrounded with even more forest. In the middle of the clearing was a small pool lined with small and big rocks. The water in the pool was an incredible, bright blue that shone even with no sun in the forest. There was two girls sitting at the pool and were looking in it. One of the girls had blonde hair and was wearing a clean white dress that looked like an Egyptian one. The other had a pixie hair cut and was wearing the same dress as the other girl but the colour was black. The two girls got up slowly and they walk around the pool. It was almost like yin and yang, always circling. I wanted to move closer to the pool, but I felt like I was sink in the dark earth below me. A quick look down revealed that I -in fact- was sinking. I screamed for the girls to help me but it was like they couldn't here me. I shut my eyes tightly and reminded myself that this was a dream.
The sinking stop and I opened one eye first. There was the hollow darkness again. I opened my other eye and breathed a sigh of relief. Then I was falling. The falling went on and on and on. Slowly the back in my back before was coming back. I became hot and started to sweat. I lifted my hands to my face and I saw blood.
I woke to have Fiona staring at me and had her hands ready to shake me if I would wake. She looked scared and I wonder what I did while I was asleep. I lifted up from the bed but went back down again. A sick, tired and dizzy felling came over me. I must have looked like I was going to puke because Fiona quickly got a rubbish bin from under the desk. She out her hand to me forehead to see if I was running a fever. "You feel really warm Phoebe. Were sick before you came?"
"No."
I hadn't had the nightmares since I was little. I never really remember them, the bits I do remember, and well… they weren't good. I had thought that those dreams weren't to come back after I got help. They never had come back until now." You what I think I can go for a shower." I got up and forgot the dizziness, grab any clothes and went into the bathroom. Maybe it was a fluke.
A mirror was opposite to the door with a sink below it. I had to admit. I looked like crap. Black rings shadowed around my eyes. I had a tired look to my eyes and was really pale. I shoved my clothes away and got into the shower to hope I forget my dream before the day begun.
By the afternoon I mostly forgot my dream. As long as I didn't think about it, the more I hoped it would go away. I was sitting in English with a few people from my morning classes. Mr. Fisher was talking about William Shakespeare, and had he back to the class. There was a big window to the right that had a view of my room from it. There were twenty other teenagers and I was sitting near the back of the classes, near the door. The whiteboard was at the front and a desk and computer was just before the board. I was half- spaced out and looked to the door. Fiona was there trying to get my attention. I had no classes with her today. She held a piece of paper in her hands. Her writing was in big letters that read: Are You Okay?
I quickly wrote in the back of my book in my big handwriting: Yeah sure.
Then Mr. Fisher noticed that I was held up my book to my left. He coughed to get me attention. He walked to me desk and picked up my book and looked at my book. If he was going to ask me why I had wrote, than I would need to come up with an excuse because I don't want to tell the class and his that I had had insane nightmare that felt real. He looked like he was going to but stopped. He just ripped out the page and threw it into the bin. It was a perfect shot. The ball of paper just landed in. Mr. Fisher then went back to teaching the class, and Fiona already left the door. I was grateful the Mr. Fisher didn't embarrass me in front of the class. I now didn't have to think of a reason to lie.
The final bell rang while Mr. Fisher was in middle sentence. We all got up when Mr. Fisher told me to stay. All of the class left when I got up to Mr. Fisher. "Yes" I told him. He was going to ask me now was the note was about. It would still embarrass me but not as much as the class and teacher knowing. "I know your new but, don't pass notes or make notes in my class. I will let off with a warning but next time I will ask about the note. Okay?'
"Okay." I quickly left and kept my eyes to the floor.
I was halfway to my room be I hit into someone. More like that they hit into me. They was a he. He bumped me really hard that my shoulder hurt from the impact. He was taller then me and had short, mousy brown hair that looked a bit bedraggled. We both looked at other like we were having a staring contest. He green eyes stared at me. He was attractive but not enough to forget my hurt shoulder. He looked a bit like the teacher Mr. Fisher." Sorry." We all he said before looked back to the ground,
"Thanks. You kind of look like Mr. Fisher." He stared at me again. I couldn't keep his gaze and looked away at the wall.
"Well yeah. I am his younger brother. Murphy Fisher." That would explain he alikeness to the teacher. "You are…?"
"Phoebe… Grigori." He looked shocked at my name. He murmured a good bye a left the way I came. I got back to my room and found Fiona with her plants. "I hope you didn't get into too much trouble."
"Nah. He didn't ask me about. Luckily." She looked relieved. She must have known it would be embarrassing if I had to say why that has 'yeah sure' on it.
"Hey. Do you know about a Murphy…"
"Fisher." Fiona finished for me. "He keeps to himself and Mr. Fisher is his brother."
"Yeah I know that. He bumped into me earlier."
