"Hera.. Hera.."
Hera woke up with a ringing in her ears.
"Oh.. oh.. f**k! Wtf was that?!" Hera said with confusion.
"Lovely, you were found unconsciously lying on the floor. What happened?" Ask Ms. Demeter with a squeeze in Hera's hands.
"Uhm.. I actually don't know.." Hera replied.
"Cronus brought you here for you to be checked up. The Doctor said that you were perfectly fine and you just need rest. He also added that you might be stressed up and over fatigue might be the reason why. Is there something bothering you lately?" Ms. Demeter asked worriedly.
(Hera's POV)
I just shrug my shoulders and continue thinking of what had happened.
Days has passed that I'm doing fine. No repeated situation, no thoughts, but with workloads. A normal thing for a professor since semester has almost reach its end and we have to finish all the activities and grade list of the students.
I'm very happy that even though it's kind of stressing, I'm enjoying my job. I can share my knowledge and experience with my students that might help them with their life choices or even in their studies.
"Ms. Hera? Can I talk to you for a moment? Please?"
Kristen, a student of mine in literature, probably 21, came in to the faculty. As she is making her way to me, I suddeny remember something. Her scent reminds me of something..
"Uhm, hey? Can I do that again?" I got back to reality as she ask that.
"What "that" you mean?" I stand up and got beside her. She smells like a flower in my garden.
She looked up to me and whispers.
"I wanna be under you again.." After she said that, she form a grin on her face and laugh. Her laugh scares me that I think my foot was glued to the floor. I cannot move my body. I'm screaming for help but no one came in. Kristen suddenly get something in her pocket. It's scissors with blood dripping in her hands. Then she continues her laugh. I manage to push her which makes her lay down on the floor and the scissors got stab in her chest.
"Ms. Hera, why did you do this to me? Why? WHY?!!"
She shouted at me. With that, I close my eyes and pray..
"I actually don't believe in you. But help me, please.."
As I open my eyes, the light of the sun blinds my eyes.
"So it's a dream? A nightmare rather."
I took my phone and switch it on. Look into the clock and saw that it's already 9. But it's Sunday. So I can't be at school. Maybe I'll go to my garden and water my flowers and other plants.
After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I get a milk with green tea. I need something to keep me up. I'm so used to drinking warm water.
I put on my flipflops and gone to my garden.
I really love my garden especially my flowers. I really love the smell of my Jasmine.
I picked up some flowers that's already on the ground. But I notice something shining. I put back the flower and get the thing.
"A scissor? Why is it here?"
And there, I saw Kristen walk passed my house and wink at me.
