Chapter 1
"It's so cold.,Darkness all around"
Then I saw a light from a far, seems like a light from the end of a tunnel. I tried my best to run. As I was getting near the light I felt heavy and it's getting hard to breath.
" I can't breath,but I must run and reach the light"
I said to myself. I felt cold sweats all over my body, then something grabbed my leg, making me fall and hit the ground.
Fear,all I felt was fear, as I feel something,... something evil is chasing after me . I tried my best to let go of it's hold. But as soon as I got back up, I saw the light started moving farther and farther away,and no matter how I run I can't make it to the light. I started crying as I felt so terrified by the feeling of fear , the dark, the cold and all alone. And when I tried to look back a black shadow has engulfed me.
"Jazz, wake up! You're dreaming again!" My roommate Zia woke me up.
"Dont tell me your dreamed of that same dream again?" She looked worried as she went back to her bed that was right next to mine. I kept dreaming the same dream since I was 16. But it still feels scary and weird Everytime I dream about it.
"You should probably try to consult a psychiatrist or a priest. Honestly Jazz, I'm getting scared whenever you get that dream. You're sleep talking and at times screaming. It's creepy to think that you are getting that same dream for the past 4 years." Zia has been my best friend since highschool so she knows a lot about me.
" I know and I'm scared too, We've consulted a lot of people about this, priest, doctors , dream interpreters even those shamans you recommend last time which happens to be a fraud. Well, they all fail to give me an answer." I sigh in the thought that I think this dream won't ever disappear anymore. Zia went back to sleep and I tuck myself back to bed too.
Zia has been my best friend for a very long time but I just can't tell her the truth.
I can't tell her that this dream is not the real deal and what's really wrong with me. She will be terrified if she will know that I can see things that normal people can't see. I can see the invisibles.
The Invisibles, that's what I called them. They are human and non human creature like form. When I was a kid I thought they were only imaginary shodows that I see, but when I reached 16 these creatures started to look more clearer to me. They come in so many forms and sizes, like animals and even human like form . There are some that looks cute like rabbits and a cats and some as hideout like an alien from another planet.And those terrifying ones, I call them Harswyd meaning horror. I try my best to avoid them as much as possible, because they latch and feed on the body of the dead. If theres a Harswyd someone might be dying or just died . Humans can't see but these monsters are always after dead people's body and I don't know why they like it so much. They are aggressive and sometimes can inflict danger or sickness to human. When I was little I've seen a Hasrwyd following our neighbor everyday and the next time I heard she was already dead due to an illness they said. Another one was the animal like creature, I call them ffawna ,they are very playful to humans. I see a lot of ffawnas trying to play tricks on humans like stealing something they like or making deja vus happen. Usually they are only playful but they are not very aggressive like the Harswyd and don't inflict harm. But the most beautiful of them all are the Anwens . A Welsh term meaning fair or beautiful. My grandma was from Welsh so I know some words . The Anwens doesn't really appear much unlike with the Harswyd and ffawnas, that's why I don't know a lot about them. All I know was that they all have long silver hair, green eyes and they all look beautiful. But one thing all these creatures had in common is that, never let them know not hear that you know they exist, because if they do they will sure do something mean and bad to you. I remeber the first time I saw clearer the Harswyd, I shouted, panicked and kept telling my mom about the monster I saw. When that Hasrwyd knew I can actually see him, He starter hissing, opened his big mouth and looked at me like I was some sort of a meal. I immediately felt weak ,I began to lose control over my body I got stuck like a statue and all I felt was tears running down my face. I was terrified, shaking but can't do nothing. It ran towards me and I knew that moment that it will be the end of me. But then a bright light from behind appeared , and out from it I saw the most beautiful creature, an Anwen. He grabbed the Harswyd away from me and the moment he touched the hideous creature it slowly turned to ashes. Then he walked closer to me , I was trembling in fear with all the things I witnessed but this person gave me a different feeling I feel safe and peace with his presence. He wiped my tears and kissed my cheeks then he disappeared again.
Since I was a little kid I have been seeing things around me. I felt like someone has been following and staring at me. I told my mom and my classmates at school about it. I got bullied and laughed whenever I told them what I am seeing. that's why people around me called me a weirdo and crazy. No body believed me and I eventually got tired of telling everyone and from bullying that I got in school. I started to pretend that I don't see them and ignored that these creatures exists. When I turned 16 those shadowy images, became clearer to me. And that's where I first met him. Simon. He saved my from an almost death encounter with the Harswyd.
I knew he was always been there following me even since I was a little girl. He was the most handsome Anwen I have ever seen. He shines like an angel, with such prominent features , he is tall and has good body built. I wanted to approach and talk to him and ask him so many things, but then everytime I get near him he disappear. I guess no one really wanted near me. and so I never got the chance to know him nor ask his name. and so I decided to named him myself.
Then one day , Simon never showed again and everything started to changed.
I started to get nightmares about dark forces trying to take me away. The Harswyds became too many lurking and following people like sinister evil all around the town and few days after a tragedy happened, with more than 120 people died including my parents. I became an orphan in an instance, my parents were taken away from me forever. It was one of the saddest part of my life. Then my aunt Sarah took custody of me I moved to her house, and thats where I met Zia and we became friends.
