She-devil part one
Light sparkles through the waters and the sun almost burns my skin. A flock of birds in the distant sky. It’s so beautiful there. I turn to grab my moms hand. But suddenly she is gone. I hear a whisper, “right here” and I look ahead and there is a black trail of smoke that seemingly pulls me in. But as soon as I tried to take a step forward, I woke up.
My mother always says “It’s not good to think about dark things, bad things” and that “the only reason I dreamed of the darkness is because I’m thinking of it”. Which isn’t true by the way, I say to my friend Lila, who’s actively listening to my story in shock. “So why do you think you keep having these dreams?” Lila asked. As I sat and thought about her question, I began to run through conspiracies but stopped myself because it was forbidden, she wouldn’t believe me anyways. So I just said “I don’t know”. The bell rang anyway and I would be in so much trouble if they heard me talking about this.
As I was walking to my third class of the day, I remembered I needed to continue planning for my 17th birthday, I only have 12 days left. I have so much work to do in this class, I can’t even think about that right now. When third period started I was already exhausted and I figured I could sneak a quick nap in. As I drifted off, I appeared in another bright world. I saw the sky but this time I felt the wind brush between my fingers. I can hear some footsteps behind me, then I see a woman walk past me but she was so quick. I’m questioning where I am but then realize that I’m conscious. I try to walk and it works, it actually works. But then i hear that whisper again, “right here” and I turn. Everything goes dark and the people who were once beautiful and light, turned into shadows. The air is colder and the flowers fall. I start to run but I can hear something saying my name in the distance, “ Kiya, KIYA” and I’m awake. It turns out it’s just my teacher, not the ruler of the underworld, disappointing.
Anyways, I should’ve known that would happen
