I'm A Dream

Flashback

"im running low on serotonin"

"your never going to amount to anything"

"disappointment"

" GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE CLOUDS"

"your gonna die alone and sad"

All said by my teachers on the first day. not on the first day of school. As you could tell it was a really hard day, iv been picked on by adults and kids as long as I could remember, not that anyone cared, I was always just told to suck it up and deal with it. I ran to catch the bus that was driving off without me, I knew if I missed it I would be in deep trouble. when I got home I started my daily ritual of cleaning the house and looking for food.

"what are you going to do to me?" he asked, I hear his heart rate pick up. "calm down sir, im not going to hurt you I promise." I placed my hands on each side of his head. "you have known me and rhydian how long? and you have known maddi way longer. if we had wanted to hurt you we would have by now. all we want is to keep our secret safe. im going to share my story with you and I just hope to God you might understand. just know that the difference between me and them is that they were born like that. I was born human..."

I turn on my music and snap out of it for a bit, the cleaning is finished, I dont even remember doing most of it, but at least its done. I get a phone call from my mom, "put the chicken on the counter to thaw" I quickly agree and do as she says, I'm an empath, I can feel the emotions of others and I could feel the anger coming off her. emotions are like a cloud of color surrounding people, I cant physically see them but I have always been able to feel it for as long as I can remember. its one of the things that keeps me out of trouble most days.

"this won't hurt but tell me if its to much" he nods, with that I close my eyes and focus on my memories bringing them to the surface. then I see it. well I see me. laying in bed trying to sleep and the dark figure looming over me. I look over and see mr Jeffries. "who's that?" he asks "the one in the bed is me when I was fully human, the dark figure is the one who made me into the me you know now." we both look back over. this is going to hurt. I watch the figure place his hand over my mouth, I see my eyes buldge and immediately try to fight. past me wins and runs out of the room then everything goes black. now we are in past me's parents room and I watch them lock the door and scream to try and wake them up. nobody is waking up. this part hurts the most, seeing the realization in my eyes as I walk over to the bed and try to shake them, pulling my hands back once I feel them get covered in fresh blood. "no" past me whispers. they turn around and the figure is back and catches them again. but this time they weren't so lucky to get away.
