Strangers
I wake up gasping. My eyes blur for a few seconds more before everything becomes clear. My hearts still racing and so is my mind. I pull
at my hair as I try to remember the dream I had. It's been like this for awhile now. Waking up the same, not able to Remember what I
dreamt. Whether i can either call it a dream or a nightmare. I wouldn't know because i can't remember anything but glinting eyes and
an echoing growl. I hear myself sigh before I get out of bed. Noticing the bed next to mines is already cleaned. I'm probably late for
breakfast again. I walk into the bathroom and turn the light switch on. I catch myself walking closer to the bathroom mirror in front of
the porcelain sink. My fingers grazings over my cheek. My skin looks paler then usual. But the dye on my hair makes me feel older. More
my age then a twelve year old. I'm still getting use to this darker hair it still has its strawberry tint but its more brown now, a lot more.
It makes me eyes look lighter. I look back at the door and turn the sink on to wash my face. Hopefully I'll look more alive or at least
more awake. That's when my heart begins to race again. When I see it in the reflection. Blood dripping down from my nose. I gasp in
panic and rush to grab some tissue. Dabbing my nose. I should have known this would happen again. It's been happening every so
often I get these nose bleeds all of a sudden. Luckily nobody's noticed. I don't need anybody worrying about me. Besides I wouldn't
have a answer to give them if one of them asked why its been happening. I quietly manage myself down the stairs to hear the noise of
laughter coming from the front room. But I need time to think. I just need to be alone for awhile. Maybe a breath of fresh air will help
make sense of things. I quietly open the back door and shut it with out a problem. I like how open it is back here just field and trees.
Sometimes it makes me feel uneasy though. Makes me wonder what's lurking behind or hiding in the shadows. I turn when hearing
something behind me. I think it's coming from the house. I walk faster towards the woods. I freeze in place. I know I just seen a black
silhouette pass one of the trees. And all I can do is freeze like a little girl. I'm pinned in place. Why am I so stupid? Why is it so hard for
me to move? To go back in the house and tell some one. Tori was right I'm just a scared little girl. My breaths quickens I see it emerging
from the woods and coming closer. Go go go ...I keep telling myself but I stay in place like a dog obeying its owner. But that shadow is
now gone and a person takes over its place. I don't know whether to relax or not. It could be worse it could have been the dead or
somebody from the Edison group. I should tell him to leave. Who ever he is probably doesn't belong here. I don't get a chance because
he speaks first. "Chloe?" How does he know my name? Maybe he is something to be worried about. "H-how did ...you know-" he cuts
me off. "You do not have to be afraid. I am nothing to be afraid of" he says soft yet hard spoken. Almost like a demand. I know I should
say something but instead I catch myself noticing him for the first time. His light skin and his dark wavy hair that covers a bit of his
face that makes it look like he wants some of him to be hidden. My Eyes trail from his strong jawline. He's older 16 maybe 17 at the
most. But what keeps me stumbled are his eyes. Though's pale blue eyes that look electric almost like its captured a dozen lightning
bolts. I seen them before I just can't remember where. "I'm not afraid though" my eyes widen in shock. That's a huge lie. I stand here
telling him I'm not afraid with out stuttering, when all I really want to do is run back to the house and tell somebody. He sets off this
vibe that gives me goosebumps. I stumble back with my mouth hung open just slightly. Maybe he's not even real. Maybe he's already
dead. He licks his lips. "Your a good liar. But you can't fake a feeling. It's something people pick up on. Fears the easiest to notice you
know?" His intense eyes meet mines. "it's one everybody notices even the dead" I turn around eager to hear who's at the back door. I
sigh in relief when seeing Andrew. I stumble back and away from him. About to tell Andrew but then Andrew says. "So you've already
met one of our guest?" He smiles uneasily. I can't believe I forgot! I feel so stupid. I knew they were coming today. I haven't even met
all of them and one already thinks I'm a freak. I guess I should be use to it. I look back at this guy. I don't even know his name. "Aren't
you going to welcome me?"
hope you enjoyed! 3
